Kyle was baffled. Based on the original plan, things were definitely meant to progress this way. He looked at Saul in surprise.Was he an enemy or a friend? What was he going to do next?Yet, Saul didn't do anything after that. He merely shouted amid all the noise, "I've already cast my vote. No matter when you plan on starting the vote, I'm standing with Mason."Kyle was very confused.Then, with a slight nod, Saul walked out of the conference room."That's enough!" Aspen's head was hurting from all the arguing. He slammed a file on the desk, silencing the room with a loud bang."Kyle, you claim that Mason isn't dead, right?" He looked at Kyle with burning anger."He's not dead!" Kyle answered.Aspen gritted his teeth. "Fine! Fellow shareholders, this whole week, from the moment Mason disappeared, how many of our subsidiaries' stocks have dropped by over ten percent? Do you know how much money has been lost from this? That money is yours, too, isn't it?"Everyone frowned in s

"That's right, Mr. Griffin. We all want to know if something really happened to Mr. Mason," the others chimed in."I'll do my best to get Mr. Mason here," Kyle said."Don't just do your best. Let's set it at 10:00 am tomorrow. We'll reconvene this meeting then. If Mr. Mason doesn't appear then, we'll appoint an interim CEO to stabilize the situation. He can take over again once he returns from his vacation," Stephen said.Aspen looked at Stephen and sneered.That man really was cunning. He chose to sit on the fence, but he knew exactly how to phrase things when it came down to it. He chose not to offend anyone.Aspen would have despised him for it any other day, but this suggestion benefited him no matter how he looked at it.After all, Mason was dead. He had fired that bullet into Mason's chest himself. The dead could not come back.Besides, an interim CEO was as good as the official CEO."I support Stephen's suggestion." Aspen raised his hand.Those who were neutral all rais

On the other side of the city, a romantic-themed gala was happening by the riverside.There was a red carpet leading into the venue, with many reporters surrounding it. The celebrities that were attending the gala dressed up in glamorous outfits as they posed elegantly, pausing for photos before accepting interviews.Summer had no interest in joining the spectacle. She had exited the car earlier and entered the gala through a side entrance.Meanwhile, Kristen had been pushed straight to the red carpet by Summer.Taking advantage of Kristen walking onto the red carpet, Summer blended in with the staff. Then, she took out her phone and started snapping photos of Kristen.Kristen had rarely attended such events after she stepped away from the spotlight. The reporters seemed incredibly excited to see her. As they snapped photos of Kristen, they started to whisper excitedly among themselves."Does Kristen not age? How is her skin still so flawless despite her age?""You can do it, to

"It doesn't matter how big of a star they are. I can still help you. Tell me. Who is it?" Kristen pressed."The queen of actresses, Kristen Woods," Summer answered seriously.Kristen was stunned for a moment before she laughed. "Oh, you…""It's true. I love the powerful, and who's more impressive in the entertainment industry than my mother?" Summer said.Kristen was exasperated. "Keep your voice down. Be a bit more low-key."As they chatted, several familiar faces approached holding wine glasses."Kristen, it's been a long time. I heard you're joining the cast this time?" a bearded man asked. He seemed to be a director.Summer wasn't that familiar with the entertainment industry. She could recognize a few celebrities, but background roles like directors and screenwriters were a different story."That's the plan for now." Kristen nodded."So, are you making a comeback?" the man asked."If the film industry is still interested in me," Kristen replied tactfully.The man said i

Standing in high heels for so long had left Summer a little exhausted. She decided to sit on the toilet lid in the restroom before she pulled out her phone to check on After School's progress.Everything was progressing as expected.She exited the backend system and was about to ask Robin about the company when she got a message from Robin himself. "Royal Financial Group's shareholders meeting has decided to suspend the removal vote. Things have calmed down on our end, too."Summer pursed her lips and replied, "Do you know why they suspended it? Did Mason come back?"Robin replied, "No, it seems like Mason's brother showed up at the last moment. I don't know what he did, but the news said if Mason still doesn't appear by tomorrow, the board will elect an interim CEO to manage the company to protect their interests."Summer lowered her gaze and sneered.Royal Financial Group was a massive conglomerate, and Mason had a very good professional management team that helped him run th

Summer recognized the other woman. She was an established actress named Anne Claude. Earlier, she had come to greet Kristen as well.The woman in the red dress, Martha Jones, didn't recognize Summer, but Summer recognized her immediately. After all, they had just met. "Stop talking." Anne tugged at Martha.Summer didn't say anything as she walked toward the door."What are you doing?" Martha felt like Summer was being very rude by ignoring her like that. She immediately started to get angry, but Anne pulled her back again."She's Kristen's daughter," Anne whispered."Oh, the useless one?" Martha scoffed. She had always paid attention to anything involving Kristen and had never missed out on any gossip about Summer.But what she knew of Summer was already outdated. Martha still thought that Summer was stuck in that phase when she was bullied.The word useless had barely left her mouth when Summer reached the door and suddenly shut it behind her and even locked it.Both Martha

Anne was panicking desperately at that moment. She was filled with regret as well. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have followed the loudmouth Martha to the restroom.At that moment, Martha slowly climbed back up and groaned. "Wow, Ms. Hartford, how impressive of you! You even dare to hit people now?""Are you trying to frame me?" Summer laughed coldly."Give me the phone!" At that moment, Anne took advantage of Summer being distracted and swiped Summer's phone away. Then, she quickly deleted the recording.Martha got even more arrogant when she saw that. "You pushed me down just now. So, this isn't over!"Summer did not seem to care at all. She glanced at Anne. "Done deleting it?"Anne's heart seemed to stop for a second when she saw how calm Summer was. She decided to just make sure everything was gone by throwing Summer's phone straight into the water.Summer watched her phone sink into the water and had only one thought in mind. She was thankful she didn't b

"Kristen, people saw it happen. Ms. Jones was beaten up quite badly," that person said in a low voice.Kristen said nothing else as she quickened her pace. As she approached the crowd, she heard a lot of voices criticizing Summer."It was just a phone. Did she really have to go so far?""I can't believe how arrogant a wealthy heiress can be!"Kristen's expression darkened. "What's going on here? What's all this fuss about?"When the crowd heard Kristen's voice, they immediately turned around."Kristen!" Before anyone could say anything, Martha sprawled on the ground and started to wail loudly. "Kristen, please save me. Ms. Hartford is trying to kill me!"Kristen walked over and looked at Martha before she looked at Summer. "What happened?"Summer looked at Kristen and said, "I just happened to be using the restroom when I overheard her and Ms. Claude gossiping outside. I was afraid they'd deny it, so I recorded it on my phone. "When I walked out to confront them, this woman t

"I got it." Summer knew that going head-to-head with the Hunt family this time must have caused Mason to be caught in the middle of some immense pressure and criticism.So, she didn't want him to worry about her too much.Chandler's incident had stirred massive public attention following Summer's live stream. In the next two days, more and more people were speaking out online.The police department responsible for the investigation was finally compelled to issue a statement, promising a lawful and thorough investigation into the case.Paul's family had rested at the Hartford residence for a day before they started to recover a little."We won't hold the funeral here. Our family back home is already handling the arrangements," said Paul's wife, Bailey Oak. Her eyes were still swollen from crying.Kristen nodded. "Alright. Don't worry. Mr. West has worked with our family for over ten years. He was practically one of us, so we'll make sure to take care of your family in the future."

"You know how vicious the Hunt family can be. Back then, I…" Kristen instinctively pressed her hand to her lower abdomen with an expression of grief. "I'm afraid of losing another child."Luke had an expression that was full of heartache. He gently pulled Kristen into his arms. "That won't happen. From now on, we will face everything together. We'll definitely protect Summer."Can I really do that?" Kristen's tears fell uncontrollably.Back then, she thought she could protect the child in her belly, too. But in the end…Luke said firmly, "You can. You definitely can. My wife has always been the strongest person I know!""Yes." Kristen nodded as she leaned against his shoulder.They had never spoken of that pain over the past 20 years. This was the first time. Summer's actions today had been like a key that unlocked this long-suppressed wound in Kristen's heart.Neither of them knew that Summer hadn't gone to sleep, either. She stood at the window in her room and could just see th

"Something like that happened?" Rosanna looked shocked. She had been locked up at the time.Jane sighed deeply. "I just heard about it, too. The kidnappers told her not to go to the police. They said they'd kill the kids if she did. In the end, she didn't report it and ended up paying 70 million dollars in ransom."Jane sighed again. "But she ran into some real monsters. After they got the money, they sent her a location to get the kids. When she got there, all she saw were their decomposing bodies!"Rosanna covered her mouth. "Oh, my God! Did they catch the kidnappers in the end?"Jane shook her head regretfully. "They were professionals, so how could anyone catch them? She lost her money and her children. Mrs. Mills fell seriously ill and is still in the hospital.""Those kidnappers are truly heartless!" Rosanna said."They were only missing for three days. Based on the state of the bodies, the kids were probably killed the moment they were kidnapped," Jane said.As Rosanna lis

Jane always outshone Rosanna in every way, so how could Rosanna possibly like her?Jane said softly, "Rosanna, I know you don't like me, but you're still family. I know you're just a straightforward and blunt person. You've never meant me any harm.Rosanna rolled her eyes internally at that. Jane couldn't be more wrong."I don't want you and Aspen to get divorced." Jane helped Rosanna sit down and crouched to examine her ankle. "It's sprained. I'll call a doctor.""No!" Rosanna was incredibly vulnerable at that moment.A vulnerable person's greatest weakness was someone being gentle to them.Jane frowned. "How could you not see a doctor? Just wait here. I'll go quietly. I'll make sure no one notices and bring the doctor over. No one will find out."After a pause, Jane continued, "I won't tell anyone about the divorce, either."Rosanna's ankle was throbbing with pain. After a moment of hesitation, she nodded. "Don't tell everyone!"Jane smiled gently and went off to find the doc

"As lawyers, we only need to achieve the desired outcome for our client. Nothing else matters," Malcolm said.The assistant fell silent.Aspen slumped down onto the hospital bed, looking defeated, while Rosanna sobbed uncontrollably."Enough crying. Go check on Mom," Aspen said impatiently.Rosanna choked out, "I refuse! Your mother never liked me to begin with. With what happened to Chandler, both of us are responsible as his parents, but your mother will definitely only blame me! You can go if you want!"After that, Rosanna grabbed her purse."Where are you going?" Aspen asked."I'm going to figure out a way to save my son!" Rosanna snapped and started to walk off.Aspen grabbed her arm. "I'm warning you. Don't go after Kristen again! This has nothing to do with her!""Kristen, Kristen! She's all you care about, even now. Her daughter stood there and humiliated you in front of everyone, making you out to be some creepy stalker, and you're still defending her?" Rosanna finally

"Chandler from that certain all-powerful family underwent a psychological evaluation every six months at his school abroad. Just over two months ago, when he had just returned to the country, he had one done. "His mental state is fine. You parents might've been driven crazy by anger, but not him."There was a frenzy online.The original post was quickly deleted, but people had already saved screenshots of all the relevant documents.Inside the Hunt residence, Aspen's hand was wrapped in gauze when he heard what the lawyer had to say. He exploded on the spot. "Who leaked something this private? Check with Chandler's school! I'm suing them! Every last person who leaked it!"The lawyer said gravely, "I've already checked. The school's digital database was hacked. Mr. Hunt, I told you yesterday to maintain a good line of communication with the victim's side. If you did, there might have been a chance for settlement. Why did you hire online trolls to spread lies?"The lawyer added, "N

"Mason, I'm not doing this for the Fridman family. I'm now a part of the Hunt family as your aunt. Even if you don't want Violet, that's fine. Summer really isn't right for you!" Jane still wore that sincere, gentle expression."Have you ever thought about why a girl with such ambition would want to be with you?" Jane asked.Mason looked at Jane. "That's where you're wrong. Summer wasn't the one who came looking for me. I'm the one who chased after her."Jane was speechless.Who in their right mind would believe that?At that moment, the elevator arrived. Mason didn't say another word to her as he got in the elevator and left.Jane stood in place.She never imagined that everything she had so carefully planned would be thrown off by the Hartford Group heiress who appeared out of nowhere."All that effort, Jane, and you were paving the way for someone else." A flamboyantly dressed woman walked over at that moment.She, too, was one of the many daughters-in-law of the Hunt family

"Tell Grandma I was here," Mason said before he turned to leave.These past few days had been unbearable for Aspen, especially with everything Summer exposed that day.All these years, people had assumed that there had been something between him and Kristen. It had always been something he could brag about, but the truth was exposed to the public today. That last shred of connection he had with Kristen had shattered as well.On top of that, Chandler was about to face serious criminal charges. Aspen felt like his heart was being set on fire."Mason!" he shouted after Mason, but Mason ignored him.Aspen clenched his teeth and rushed toward Mason with a sharp fruit knife in hand.Things had come to a point of no return anyway. If he had nothing left to lose, he might as well drag Mason down with him. If he killed Mason, maybe Royal Financial Group would fall back into Victoria's hands.But Aspen had underestimated Mason too much. His blade didn't even graze Mason. Mason merely gra

In the end, Mason still went to the private hospital that the Hunt family owned. As he stepped out of the elevator, all he saw were members of the Hunt family, gathered in full force.Mason knew exactly what was going on.These people hadn't shown up out of affection. They were just afraid that Victoria might actually die, so they were here early to wait for the inheritance."Mason, what the hell did you do to Grandma?"The moment they saw Mason, they pounced like a pack of wild dogs, but not a single one of them actually dared to touch him.If Victoria did die, Mason's threat level would skyrocket a hundredfold."This is a hospital. Why are you all being so loud?" Mason asked coldly.Jane ran over. "Everyone, calm down. This had nothing to do with Mason. She only got a heart attack because of Ms. Hartford's press conference."After that, Jane looked at Mason. "Mason, everyone's just worried, so they're a bit emotional. Don't take it to heart.""Where is Violet?" Mason asked.
