The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 242
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anything involving Kristen and had never missed out on any gossip about Summer.But what she knew of Summer was already outdated.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
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 245
The crowd was utterly confused."I don't care. You still hit me in the end! Just look at my knees…" Martha sobbed as she showed her swollen knees.She had probably really hurt herself when she fell just now."Are you sure I pushed you? Didn't you fall down yourself when you tried to snatch my phone away?" Summer asked seriously.Anne's face was utterly pale at that moment. She could vaguely feel that Summer was about to turn the tables on them."It was you! You pushed me!" Martha shrieked.Summer shook her head and smiled as she pointed at the doorway. "Good thing this hotel is high-tech. You probably don't know, but while there aren't any cameras in the restroom, there's one outside. It's usually off, but the emergency system activates it whenever the room is locked from the inside.""Is that really true?" Neil looked at a hotel staff member."It's as Ms. Hartford said," the staff member confirmed."I remember you trying to snatch away my phone and slipping. You ended up hitt
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 246
Anne almost went out of breath from crying. She deeply regretted everything. If she hadn't tried to snatch Summer's phone and thrown it into the water just now, things wouldn't have been so bad for her. Now, it seemed like she was done for."Leave a person behind to deal with this mess." Kristen's face was full of disgust. After that, she took Summer's hand and walked away without sparing a single glance at Martha and Anne, who were still pleading to her.In the crowd was a flamboyantly dressed man. That man was Terrence. He had just been dining in a private room and happened to stumble into the commotion when he was going to use the restroom.Kristen led Summer past him. When they brushed past each other, he suddenly asked, "X?"After that, his gaze was fixed on Summer.Yet, Summer didn't react at all as she kept her head down and talked to Kristen.Terrence frowned as he watched the two of them disappear. He took out his phone. That blurry picture he had of Summer was his wal
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 247
Summer lowered her head, but she could tell that Terrence's gaze never left her. She knew very well he had his eyes on her, regardless of whether or not he knew she was X.What was supposed to be a pleasant banquet ended up an unhappy one thanks to those two earlier. But if there was any good news from tonight, it was that Kristen had decided to make a comeback.Summer heard about what became of those two troublemakers later on. Hartford Group's legal team went after Martha relentlessly for slander.As for Anne, the entire cast had already been set, and they were about to start filming in the next few days. Anne's role was quite significant, so in consideration for the production, Kristen didn't replace Anne.But Anne became increasingly paranoid, afraid that Kristen was out to get her. She kept on making mistakes during the script reading, which frustrated the director to no end. In the end, they scrapped her role entirely.But all of that happened later on.The night was peacef

"That's good," Summer replied.The conversation between the two of them remained dry. Neither of them mentioned Xena.Summer suddenly regretted it. Maybe she should have had a proper talk about it with Mason yesterday. She could have just asked Mason if she was a replacement.But no amount of frustration could change the past.The van stopped in front of their home. When they got back, Summer could clearly feel that something was wrong."What happened?" she asked Phoebe.Phoebe stammered and seemed like she was afraid to speak."Tell me!" Summer's tone was stern."Mr. Hartford Senior got injured. There's a big gash right under his eyebrow," Phoebe finally blurted out nervously."What?" Summer was shocked. She didn't even take off her shoes as she ran to Henry's room."So you're back," Luke greeted Summer in the living room."Dad, what happened to Grandpa?" Summer asked"He's sleeping. It's been a long day. You should go wash up and get some rest, too," Luke replied."I kno
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 249
Henry sighed. "I might hate Mason, but I do hope that little wolf cub will come back alive tomorrow.""Why?" Summer asked in confusion."At least he's openly ruthless, unlike those scheming rats!" Henry shook his head."Grandpa, your words are as good as gold. If you say he's alive, then he'll definitely be!" Summer said earnestly."I just hope so." Henry's wound was still throbbing painfully.Summer's heart ached just looking at him. She clenched her teeth and decided she would definitely find out the mastermind behind all this tomorrow.Summer stayed by Henry's side until he fell asleep. By the time she went back to the living room, Kristen and Luke had already gone back to their room.She poured herself a glass of water. Glancing into the courtyard, she happened to catch sight of Robin standing in the yard.Summer put down her glass and walked over.Robin lowered his head when he saw her."Mr. Cohen, are you punishing yourself by standing here?" Summer asked.With Robin's

"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
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 427
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.
