Kristen reached out for the coffee in front of her. "She's quite adorable. The entertainment industry has been producing the same type of artists over and over. Having someone lively and adorable like her is quite the breath of fresh air.""Mom, don't drink the coffee." Summer moved the coffee away just as Kristen was about to grab it."Why? Coffee isn't fattening." Kristen was puzzled.Summer glanced at the other cups of coffee. "I'll bring you a freshly brewed one later. Let's give these to the bodyguards. They've been out in the hot sun for so long. We should give them something to cool down."Kristen nodded. "Alright. Have someone bring these to them.""Aren't you going to leave one for me?" Emma asked pitifully."I'll buy you that viral fruit tea later. There's nothing nice about these," Summer said softly.Hearing that, Emma answered enthusiastically, "It's a deal!"Summer smiled as she waved the others over and personally handed out the tea."Putting everything else asi

The makeup artist lunged forward and stabbed Kristen.In that split second, Summer pushed Kristen aside.Kristen fell to the ground, but the makeup artist didn't stop as she continued to charge at Kristen.Summer immediately grabbed her wrist.Yet, the makeup artist was shockingly strong. "Whoever stops me will die!"The dagger glinted as it sliced across Summer's arm, but Summer didn't let go. Instead, she held on even tighter as she clenched her teeth. With all her strength, she pushed the makeup artist away from Kristen. "Dream on!"All of this had happened in a few short moments.The nearby bodyguards rushed over. Before the blade was about to harm Summer again, they finally managed to pin the artist to the ground."Summer!" Kristen's voice was trembling as she finally snapped out of her shock and got up in a hurry.She ran to Summer, and when she saw the blood on Summer's arm, she started to panic. "Doctor! Someone call the medical team over!""Mom, I'm fine. Don't worry
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress   Chapter 308
"I'd rather take the blade myself," Kristen said."Just look at how much the two of us love each other." Summer clung to Kristen's arm and rubbed against her.Kristen felt both helpless and sad. "You distracted me just now, but what are you and Robin up to? Did you call him over?""No, Mr. Cohen came on his own," Summer muttered.She wasn't lying. She never asked Robin to come."Ever since that lunatic incident from that night, you've been acting so secretive. What exactly are you up to?" Kristen asked seriously.Summer thought about it. She already figured out who the mastermind behind everything was, and there was no need to hide it from Kristen anymore."Mom, none of what happened the past few days was an accident," Summer said seriously.Kristen was taken aback. "What do you mean?""That lunatic, Donny, was brought over deliberately. There's also those flowers and faulty equipmentâĶ" Summer pursed her lips. "Even the coffee that Channing sent over in the afternoon was poiso

Kyle shuddered in fear. "Hurry up! Get the car over here and take me back to the hotel now!"He was doomed. Didn't he promise Mason that he wouldn't let anything happen to Summer yesterday?And not only was it big news, but there was a lot of blood, too.After Kyled tied up the two captives, he rushed straight to the hotel.The one receiving the captives was Robin. Originally, Summer hadn't arranged for him to be the one to do that, but since he had been unceremoniously kicked out earlier, Robin figured he might as well wait for the captives.Robin was a little startled to see Kyle. "Aren't you one of Mason's men?"Kyle shook his head with his messy hair. "I'm not. I'm just a local here. I'll leave these two to you. I'm going back fishing!"After Kyle handed the two to Robin, he turned around and bolted."Isn't he one of Mason's men?" Robin asked the man beside him."He looks similar, but Mason's men are always in sharp suits. They always slick their hair back like they pour

Claudia had wanted to protest, but the moment she heard the name "Dorothy Simms", her expression turned cold. "What does that have to do with you?""Nothing, really? I just wanted to confirm my suspicions. That's all." Summer lowered her head.Then, she smiled. "After all, Dorothy was known for being a 'pure and innocent' actress back then. I've never heard of her having children."Claudia clenched her fists tightly and glared at Summer with pure hatred."I should have killed you earlier!" she said through gritted teeth.Summer chuckled. "Kill me? Do you really think you're capable of that?""You just caught me by chance. Do you really think you're that capable?" Claudia sneered.Summer looked at her with an icy-cold gaze. "Sure. You can think whatever you want. I don't care. Now, you have two choices. You can shut your mouth and stay silent, but I'll make sure Dorothy trends online for a whole month. I'll expose the fact that she has an illegitimate daughter.""You wouldn't da

Claudia froze after hearing that. Then, she started to shout hysterically, "You're lying! Your mother forced her to death! Summer, you're so young, but you're already so cruel-hearted. How could you falsely accuse someone who's already dead just to clear your mother's name?"Summer watched as Claudia broke down. She felt nothing in her heart at all.She picked up the remote control and turned on the TV behind Claudia."You shameless slut! How dare you seduce my husband?" The angry shout of a woman could be heard.Claudia stiffly turned around to watch.It was an old recording from over 20 years ago, so the quality wasn't the best, and the footage was shaky.On the bed were a man and a woman. The two of them were in a panic when those people walked in with the camera. The woman frantically grabbed a blanket to cover herself.Even if the image was blurry, Claudia could tell who the woman was in an instant."Dorothy? Unbelievable! I treated you as my best friend and introduced you
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress   Chapter 312
Claudia could feel tears of hopelessness, despair, and rage burst out."Two," Summer counted.Just as she was about to say the final number, Claudia shouted loudly, "I'll choose the second option!"Summer lowered her head. "Very good. Mr. Cohen, I'll leave the rest to you.""Where's Kristen? I want to see her!" Claudia shouted."You're not worthy." Summer motioned to Robin, and Robin immediately stepped forward and gagged Claudia before having his men drag her and Xander away.The living room went quiet. Summer looked toward the bedroom as the door slowly opened. Then, Kristen walked out from within."Why won't you let me see her?" Kristen asked.Summer answered, "There was no need. She wouldn't have believed you no matter what you said.""What a pitiful child." Kristen sighed.Summer didn't respond to that.If it was her in the past, she might have sympathized with Claudia, too. But she would not do that now.So what if Claudia had a pitiful past? She had schemed tireles
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress   Chapter 313
Summer didn't know whether to be amused or frustrated.That day, she hadn't contacted Mason much.That was just how the two of them were. When they were together, they were inseparable. But when they were apart, things would cool down.After hanging up on Kyle, Summer started to think about how she should bring up her arm injury to Mason.Thinking about it, she felt like it was just a minor cut. It would be overly dramatic for her to make a big deal out of it, so she decided not to say anything. The wound should have more or less healed when she went back in two days anyway.Because of what happened the previous night, the atmosphere on set was a bit strange.Stana arrived early at the dressing room. The moment she sat down, she heard people gossiping."How was Channing's agent involved with last night's incident?""Who knows? But I saw someone take her away in the middle of the night.""That makeup artist was obviously targeting Kristen. Could Channing have gotten his agent t

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.""
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress   Chapter 431
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, IâĶ" 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 endâĶLuke 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
