The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 268
Henry looked at Terrence with some surprise. "You're so grown up already? Weren't you always overseas? When did you get back?"Terrence was dressed sharply today, and his gaze landed on Summer as he spoke, "It's been over a month. Could this be Summer?"Luke smiled and nodded before introducing the two. "Summer, this is Terrence.""Hello," Summer replied coolly.She didn't really show any other emotion other than being slightly distant. It was typical of any introvert meeting a stranger for the same time."It's really been a long time since I came back. The last time I saw Summer, she didn't even know how to walk yet," Terrence said with a smile."That's true." Luke glanced at Summer. Before Terrence appeared, Summer had been happily chatting away with them. Now, she was completely quiet.Normally, Luke would have invited Terrence to eat with them out of politeness, but he didn't ask since Summer was acting like that."I'm with some friends over there, so I won't interrupt. I

Terrence was stunned for a moment. He clearly didn't expect Summer to have such a strong personality."If you hate it, then I'm willing to apologize. You can forget about Nono and get to know Terrence Dincht instead," he said."I already have," Summer replied."Can I borrow your phone for a moment?" Terrence was about to set up his next move on Summer.Summer replied emotionlessly, "No. We're not nearly close enough to exchange contact information. I'd appreciate it if you didn't disturb me in the future.""Summer, you might have heard quite a lot of rumors about me, but I'm not like what the rumors say. Maybe we can be friends first?" Terrence knew very clearly where his weaknesses lay.It was all those scandalous rumors about him."Sorry. I'm not planning on that for now," Summer replied politely before she turned to leave.Terrence blocked Summer's way again. "Isn't your company recruiting? Can I join? Don't be in such a hurry to shut me down, okay? You might not like me as

Saul looked at Terrence. "I'm already working hard for her, so don't worry.""That's good." Terrence nodded. But Saul quickly noticed something important. "Wait. You said we both have someone in our hearts? Who's the woman you set your sights on this time?"Terrence patted Saul on the shoulder. "She's one of a kind. She's not just in my heart. She's permanently residing in it now.""Sure." Saul didn't take Terrence that seriously. After all, Terrence had made similar declarations more times than he could count.The two of them were lost in their own romantic fantasies as they stepped into the elevator and left the restaurant.When Summer got back to the table, she drank more than half a glass of juice."What's wrong?" Henry asked in surprise.Summer shook her head. "It's nothing. Grandpa, if there's nothing else at the company, I won't be going with you. I plan on being Mom's little guardian angel this afternoon.""Your grandpa has a guardian angel, and your mom has one, but

"No, don't!" Summer quickly stopped them.Kristen immediately laughed at that. "I thought you didn't know who the flowers were from?"Summer was speechless."It's such a huge bouquet. You're definitely going to get in trouble if your grandpa and your dad see it." Kristen gently poked Summer on the forehead.Summer felt her heart stop for a moment.Luke wasn't a big deal. He rarely ever nagged Summer. But Henry was another matter entirely. There was no way he would accept the idea that Summer might be dating. He'd definitely make a scene and insist on beating up whatever little punk was trying to steal Summer away."Mom, help me." Summer pouted, looking like he was about to cry."There's no way you can keep all of them. Pick some to take to your room and let Phoebe handle the rest. So, tell me. Who's this young man you're secretly dating?" Kristen asked helplessly."I'm not dating anyone," Summer muttered.Mason was definitely not someone she could call a young man."So, you

After all, Mason had been resting at home the past few days.Who knew what happened at Royal Financial Group that day?"Are you still at the company?" Summer asked."I am," Mason replied."You don't need to hide anymore. If there's nothing too major at the company, you should go to the hospital and get your wounds looked at. I'm not an expert, so I might not have done a very good job," Summer said seriously."No one could do a better job than you," Mason said.Summer smiled. "Fine. Mr. Hunt's word is final.""Where's your mother filming?" Mason asked.Summer answered, "A holiday estate in the outskirts of the city. We'll probably head over in the evening.""I'll sneak over, and you can sneak out. Then, we can have a secret rendezvous. How about that?" Mason said in a lower tone. Summer found it incredibly adorable. She was about to say yes, but she suddenly thought of the barrier between them that they had yet to cross.Her tone sounded slightly colder. "Maybe another time.

At around the same time, Chandler was still bedridden after being injured by Mason.At first, no one told him about what happened to his parents. However, Chandler had been waiting for news of his parents defeating Mason and reclaiming Royal Financial Group for a long time. It was already almost nighttime, but his parents were not back yet.They weren't even answering their phones.The household staff were all acting strangely as well. They seemed to all be avoiding him.The more Chandler thought about it, the more it seemed like something was wrong. He struggled and got on his wheelchair before he quietly left his room."I told you so many times that we need to be patient when dealing with Mason. Why didn't you listen? Look at what happened now! Aspen and Rosanna are under investigation. The ones handling the case are all Mason's men, who won't listen to anyone else!" Chandler heard.He had just made his way out, only to be greeted with his grandfather Arthur Moon's voice.Chan

Summer then took out her laptop and continued working on Escape From the Asylum's script.Before too long, Summer's phone rang. She took a look and saw that it was Lionel.Summer answered the call and asked, "What's wrong?""I just forwarded you something that a buddy of mine sent me earlier. Power Construction apparently set up an Internet division last year, and they're about to release a new mini-game. "It's quite the coincidence. It seems very similar to the project model you planned to assign to new hires," Lionel said.Summer opened her laptop and looked at the short video Lionel sent her.The game wasn't even in development yet. There was just a simple animated teaser."Power Construction, you say?" Summer asked."Yes," Lionel answered. "My buddy was originally supposed to lead a project there, but some higher-up forced in a connection hire. The connection hire was the one who brought the game in. It might just be a mini-game, but like we said before, the concept and ga

At that moment, her phone rang again. Ever since After School launched, she had been getting calls much more frequently than before.She walked to the living room and picked up her phone from the couch. The caller ID read Puppy.Summer's heartbeat started to quicken. That subconscious reaction caused her to feel a bit helpless."Hello," she answered."Come to the beach," Mason said, his voice accompanied by the sound of waves."You're here?" Summer was caught off guard."I brought the company staff here for a vacation," Mason said indignantly."The mighty Royal Financial Group brought its employees to a seaside resort for a vacation?" Summer found Mason both exasperating and endearing.Mason answered, "Yes, so hurry up and come out."Summer didn't know what to do with Mason. She put on a jacket and walked toward the beach.It was supposed to be peak travel season, but the whole hotel had been booked out by the production crew to facilitate filming.So, the place was empty

"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.
