Mason had never been particularly enthusiastic about food. When he saw Summer happily eating away, he asked with a smile, "Is it good?"Summer nodded. "It is, but there's shrimp inside. You can't have seafood right now. It's bad for your wound.""Alright." Mason nodded.As Summer ate, her mind started to clear up. She suddenly remembered what happened last night."Mason, I'm worried about something," she said."What?" Mason looked at her."I have a feeling that that lunatic coming in to kill my mom last night might not have been an accident," Summer said as she toyed with the taco in her hand."Why do you think so?" Mason asked.Summer looked up at him. "Last night, my mom told me about a crazy fan from her past. The story seemed to match up a bit with what that lunatic said about his father. Do you think it's a coincidence?""If you're suspicious, I'll have someone look into it," Mason said.Summer shook her head. "No, don't. My grandpa has such a close eye on you. He might

"Ms. Hartford, I just saw your message. Is something the matter?" Robin was originally supposed to follow Summer, but after what happened with Henry, Summer refused to allow him to come with her."Have you heard of what happened at the hotel yesterday?" Summer asked."I did. You did very well," Robin praised stiffly.If Summer didn't understand him so well, she would have thought he was giving her a genuine compliment."I want you to look into that person's father. See if his father was that crazy fan who kept on pestering my mom back then," Summer said softly. "You mean the person who sent bloody clothes to Mrs. Hartford?" Robin asked."Yes, him!" Summer frowned slightly. If even Robin knew about it, then it was obvious how much of a mess it had been back then."I know that person. When he was stalking Mrs. Hartford, he did bring a child with him a few times," Robin replied.Summer felt her heart sink."Mr. Cohen, if it's possible, I would like you to look into it as soon as

Summer lowered her head in thought for a moment. "It was just a thought. Don't panic, and don't ask anyone about it. Just act like nothing happened.""Oh…" Emma's voice trembled slightly. "You can tell me if you have any thoughts.""I really don't." Summer waved it off.After being reborn, Summer had lost all faith in anyone else. She didn't even have the courage to put her trust in Emma—Kristen's trusted assistant—so easily.If this matter really was as Summer suspected and there was much more behind this, then it was incredibly serious. So, she decided to wait for Robin's investigation before anything else.In the end, Kristen was an award-winning actress. Her first filming session after making her comeback was done smoothly without any retakes."Cut! Okay! Kristen nailed it in one take!" The director stood up and clapped his hands happily.Kristen looked incredibly relieved as she thanked the staff around her, "Thank you for your cooperation, everyone.""Alright. Bring in th

"Right in the trash can ahead." Emma pointed outside.Summer nodded and started walking toward it. Emma was stunned for a moment before she grabbed Summer's arm. "You don't have to go that far. We can just buy some flowers if you like them. They've already been thrown in the trash.""It's fine. I don't mind." Summer pulled her arm free with a smile before she walked out.As soon as she stepped outside, Summer saw the trash can. However, the trash can was completely empty. There wasn't a single flower inside.Summer licked her teeth as her gaze darkened."Huh? Where did the flowers go?" Emma followed her out at that moment, and she was stunned to see the empty trash can.Looking around, there was a group of paparazzi lurking outside the set, waiting to take pictures.Emma frowned. "One of the paparazzi must have taken the flowers! They're so annoying!"Summer smiled. "It's fine. If someone took them, then at least they're being useful. I only wanted to take them back to avoid

"After Mrs. Hartford married into the Hartford family, Mr. Hartford entrusted me to deal with that man," Robin explained."Deal with him?" Summer was a little confused.From what the lunatic said last night, his father should still be alive."I didn't kill him. I just gave him a large sum of money and sent him back to his hometown. He was admitted to a local mental hospital and was kept there until last fall when he finally passed away from illness," Robin answered."How about the other one?" Summer asked."His name is Donny Finn. He's been a loner since he was a child. No one knows who his mother is, but he's definitely his father's biological son. Actually, he's always been mentally stable. There was never any news of mental illness, and he's made a living in his hometown through farming and odd jobs."When he turned 20 years old, his family introduced him to a possible wife. It's one of the women he killed," Robin said.Summer lowered her gaze and gently tapped her fingers ag

"I'm going to the set. I have a feeling that if the issues with the props hadn't been discovered in time, it would have affected my mom," Summer answered.Mason lightly patted her head and looked down at her. "Don't rush it. If you ask about it and alert the mastermind, it would spook them. I'll have one of my men do it."Summer calmed down thanks to Mason's reassurances."Okay." She nodded.Mason gently caressed her cheek before he made a call.While they were waiting for the news, Summer couldn't sit still at all. She rushed over the moment Mason's phone rang.The one who called was the person Mason sent to look into the props at set B, so he put the phone on loudspeaker. "Mr. Hunt, I asked around. The problem was with a massive crystal chandelier. When I casually mentioned that it was good that no one was hurt, one of the crew members told me that the chandelier would have been over Kristen's head if they had gone on with filming."Summer gritted her teeth tightly.So, it

Donny cried out in a panic. "No, don't go! She's a good person. She wouldn't hurt you! You must be mistaken.""She".Summer stopped and turned to look at Donny. "Who is she?"Donny averted his gaze and shook his head frantically. "I can't tell you. All these filthy people are trying to hurt her. I won't tell you no matter what." "Alright. Then, I'll ask you a different question. When did you get to know her? Was it before or after your father died?" Summer asked coldly.Donny was much more helpful this time. "It was when my father was sick. She sent money over for the treatment and even helped bury my father."Summer's heart sank yet again.Kristen had only planned her comeback since last summer, and Summer had only recently found out about it.If this woman had been secretly plotting against Kristen all this time, she was likely one of the first people who knew that she wanted to make a comeback.Or that person didn't care about whether Kristen was making a comeback or not.

Kyle had gotten visibly tanned. He glanced at the wailing men and snapped, "Shut up! Keep crying, and I'll cut off your tongues!"At that moment, Summer rushed inside."Ms. Hartford," Kyle greeted politely.Summer nodded at him. "Was it these two?"Kyle nodded. "Yes. You two, tell Ms. Hartford exactly what you did."One of them said, "Someone told us they had a grudge against the production manager and wanted to delay filming. They gave us some money to tamper with the chandelier a little. We just wanted to delay the filming. We didn't mean anything else!"Summer said coldly, "So, you were just supposed to delay the filming? If the production manager hadn't noticed something was off, he wouldn't have been worried and ordered a recheck of all the equipment. If the filming had continued as planned, the chandelier would have been hanging over my mom's head."She sneered. "Then, if the chandelier with the tampered rope fell, my mom would have died on the spot! Is this what you call

Five million dollars. It was five million dollars.Ruddy's eyes were practically glued to the card.Aspen gave Malcolm an impatient look, and Malcolm handed the pen and paper to Ruddy.Ruddy was taken aback when he saw the pen and paper. "Aren't you supposed to write it, and I just sign it?""It would be better if you wrote it yourself," Malcolm said.Ruddy looked embarrassed. "But I don't know how to write?"Aspen finally lost his patience. He slammed the table and stood up. "What? You're illiterate?""What are you yelling at me for? When did I say I could write? I'm doing you a favor by agreeing to this, and this is how you treat me?" Ruddy didn't care that Aspen was rich at that moment.Aspen was begging him for help, so why should Ruddy tolerate Aspen?"Stop arguing." Malcolm was getting a headache. He never imagined that Ruddy would be illiterate."Fine. I'll have someone print out the content. You can just copy it, right?" Malcolm just wanted this done as quickly as pos

Malcolm looked disgusted. "Got it. We'll get back to you soon."Then, he hung up. "Bastard!" Aspen slammed his hand on the table hard.Malcolm said grimly, "I told you before Paul didn't have many relatives. His parents are both gone, and other than his wife and children, there's only his brother left. The Hartford family is watching the West family closely. "No one answered when I called, so I had to try this guy. Who knew he'd be this stupid?""Is a letter of forgiveness from his biological brother useful?" Aspen asked.Malcolm frowned. "It has some value, but it wouldn't nearly be as effective as getting it from the wife or children.""I don't care. Even getting one is something. Offer him three million dollars." Aspen felt a headache coming on.Malcolm hesitated for a moment. "You really want to pay him? This thug has never treated his brother well before. If the family mentions that in court, this three million dollars might as well go down the drain.""Get that letter

"Go ahead." Summer showed no intention of stopping him.Ruddy was stunned. "I'm not joking around. I really will go."Summer didn't seem to care at all. "Go ahead. Also, you were talking so much about inheritance just now. What inheritance? Since when did this ten million dollars count as inheritance?"Ruddy said smugly, "It's still compensation! I get a share either way! I know the law, Ms. Hartford."Summer nodded. "Seems like you got it wrong. This money isn't for Paul.""Don't try to fool me!" Ruddy frowned.Summer turned to gently soothe the baby, who was still sobbing. "Hey little cutie, you shouldn't cry anymore. I gave you a ten-million-dollar gift, and you're still upset? Come on, give me a smile."Everyone widened their eyes in shock."What ten-million-dollar gift? What are you talking about?" Ruddy tried to grab Summer, but Robin stopped him.Summer held the baby's tiny hand. "My grandfather already gave the funeral expenses to Mrs. West. I'm only giving the ten mil

Summer added, "Another example. You happily get home and reach your building when suddenly, some lunatic jumps out of nowhere with a knife. He slashes through everyone, not leaving a single one of you left."She shrugged. "Or maybe you make it home safe. But in the middle of the night, when everyone's sound asleep, there's a gas leak. Or better yet, a fire. Everything's gone in a blaze, just like that. Stories like that pop up among rich families all the time. You can give it a shot if you don't believe me.""Quit trying to scare me! I'm fearless!" Ruddy thumped his chest."Paul was a good man who had been nice to my whole family. Ten million dollars is no small sum. I believe I've shown more than enough sincerity. As for what you choose, I won't interfere," Summer said calmly as she motioned for someone to open the door.Seeing this, Ruddy rushed forward and pulled his relatives to leave. "Come on. Let's go first. We'll talk about it among ourselves later.""If you want to leave,

Bailey had never been one to make decisions.Her two sons had their own difficulties as well. They didn't want to betray the truth behind Paul's death, but Ruddy had a point. Pauh was gone, and the living had to carry on."Ms. Hartford, my uncle is right. This is a family matter. I think we should handle it ourselves," the eldest son, Dustin West, said with great difficulty.Bailey looked at him in shock, then lowered her head silently."I understand. We all have our own burdens." Summer didn't blame him.Only those who had truly suffered understood how hard it was to make choices in the midst of hardship."Come on, let's go! The lawyer's still waiting. As long as we sign the letter, that ten million dollars is ours!" Ruddy urged eagerly."Bailey, you really need to think this through! You're doing Paul so wrong here!" Phoebe felt like crying.Summer said, "If it's for the money, you don't need to leave. Paul died because of me, so I was planning on compensating you anyway.""

Summer didn't have much of an expression on her face as she walked down slowly.But Phoebe explained anxiously, "Let's not even talk about whether the ten million dollars is real or not. Ruddy, that's your brother's life! Are you really going to be the kind of person to take money in exchange for his life?""What's it got to do with you? You're already siding with this family anyway!" Ruddy glared at the lavish interior of the Hartford residence. "Just look at this place. Is this how you all make your money?"Ruddy's last sentence had been aimed at Kristen, it was obvious he knew that Kristen was the lady of the house.Summer walked over to Kristen and said, "Mr. West, what's the rush? You didn't even bother with basic manners before coming in, and you started shouting the moment you entered. Don't you think that's a bit out of line?"She looked at Bailey's arm and saw that her wrist was red from being grabbed too hard. "Why don't you let go of Mrs. West's hand first? Her wrist is

"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
