A moment later, the greenhouse was tidied up.Marge, having been shoved down by Joe, looked as humiliated as could be. "Joe, why are you even arguing with her? Let's go home!""Shut up!" Joe glared at her viciously.At that moment, Shane arrived with a large whiteboard.The moment Joe saw it, he rushed over and grabbed a marker. Then, he wrote down a difficult problem that he had seen on his phone, one that he couldn't solve himself. "Solve it!"Summer glanced at him and politely said to Shane, "Could you please help me hang this up? Thank you."Shane smiled respectfully before he had some others hang it up.Summer slowly walked to the whiteboard.The problem was definitely difficult. She had never encountered it before, so she stood in front and thought for a long time.Joe looked more and more pleased with himself as she constantly told those around him, "I said it. She cheated. There's no way she was capable of scoring so high."Kristen looked at Summer with some worry as

"You're not allowed to leave!" Joe shouted loudly. He threw down the marker and lunged toward Summer.Suddenly, a chair flew in from outside, striking Joe on the back. "Joe!" Marge shrieked.Everyone looked at the greenhouse entrance in shock.Terrence was there, dressed as impeccably as usual. His hair was neatly styled with gel, and there was the faint scent of cologne lingering in the air.He walked in lazily with his hands in his pockets. "What are you doing? Do you know where this is? How dare you mess with my little friend?"Summer was speechless.Little friend? Was something wrong with him?"Terrence, what are you doing here?" Gloria was dumbfounded."Good afternoon, Gloria." Terrence tossed out a casual greeting.At that moment, Joe recovered. He scrambled up from the floor and shouted as he charged at Terrence.Terrence was someone who was trained in martial arts. There was no way he would lose to a high school student.Before long, Terrence had Joe pinned under h

The greenhouse had been in complete chaos. In the end, no one knew what Joe crashed into, but he fainted."Mrs. Dincht, I came to your ridiculous gathering out of respect for you, and you just let your family's bastard child treat my son like that? From now on, our families have nothing to do with each other!" Marge, pointing at Gloria, shouted before she left.After that, she didn't bother waiting for a response as she stormed out in a rage.Gloria shut her eyes and took a deep breath before she turned around and slapped Terrence. "Are you insane? Do you even know who you just hit?"Her ring cut across Terrence's face, causing him to bleed.Terrence looked down at her. "I'm a full-grown man. Do you think you can hit me?"He said, "You know exactly why you called the two from Hartford Group over, along with this group of people. Summer is the official heiress of Hartford Group. If that lunatic had actually hurt her just now, do you think you could deal with Hartford Group's wrath

Gloria changed into a clean outfit before she went to the living room.In the living room, the ladies were still talking about Joe. Compared to the past, the conversation would have always revolved around Summer."I'm so sorry for the fright all of you had," Gloria said with a placating smile."How could we blame you for that? Who could have guessed that Mrs. Dunn's so-called golden boy was a lunatic?" Lanie waved it off.At that moment, her phone suddenly buzzed. She casually picked it up and tapped on the screen. After that, she let out a shriek as she tossed her phone away."What happened?"The others were startled as well."Someone sent me a ghost picture!" Lanie's face was filled with shock.The phone happened to land in front of Summer. She picked it up and said, "Mrs. Jones, are your eyes playing tricks on you? There's no picture."Everyone carefully looked over as well.Sure enough, there was no picture."Mrs. Jones, what's going on? We were already spooked by that l

"Surely it's not that serious." Summer looked at Lanie with sympathy and concern."What kind of nonsense are you saying?" Lanie seemed shaken herself. She even started to doubt whether Summer had spoken to her at all.A trace of anger flickered in Gloria's eyes. This should have been a happy gathering for everyone, but it turned strange just because Kristen brought Summer along.What exactly was Summer doing?Lanie eventually muttered, "That might be it. Whatever. Let's just forget about it and eat."She didn't even bother apologizing to Summer as she lowered her head and headed to the dining area.Summer had a slight smile on her lips. Since Lanie liked to joke around so much, she decided to show Lanie what a real joke looked like.At the dining table, everyone took their seats. The aroma of food slowly eased the tension that had hung in the air.Just as Gloria was about to get everyone to start eating, Terrence arrived. "Gloria, is there a seat for me?"Gloria had never spok

Gloria had simply been furious at Terrence. Kristen's cold tone suddenly snapped her back to her senses.She said apologetically, "Oh, dear, just look at my big mouth! Summer is still young. It's too early to talk about these things anyway. Let's change the topic and talk about something else."Like that, the conversation shifted.Summer had her head lowered and was looking at her phone the whole time, not sparing Terrence a glance at all. After all, she already had her puppy at home.Terrence couldn't get her attention no matter what he did.They had left in a hurry today, so Summer never even thought that this place was Terrence's home. Strictly speaking, it wasn't really his home anyway.Back then, Robin had looked into it. Apparently, Gloria utterly despised Terrence. There were even rumors that Terrence had lived here as a child for two months. In the end, he was forced to leave because Gloria had broken three of his ribs.After briefly thinking about Terrence, Summer shift

"Yeah, I already took care of it. Why are you losing your mind over it now?" Scully asked impatiently."Look at what I just sent you!" Lanie shrieked.There was some rustling on the other end, followed by an angry outburst. "You have a perfectly good life, so why are you trying to stir up trouble for no reason? Are you crazy?" After that, he hung up.Lanie was caught completely off guard. She knew Scully quite well. There was no way he would react like that if he saw the photo on the news. She quickly reopened the link. The news page had changed into the picture of a clown with nothing but a line of text. "Just a joke. Don't take it to heart.""What the hell is this?" Lanie was so terrified that she threw her phone aside and started slapping the seat, urging the driver to drive away.After Lanie left, she naturally became the new topic of gossip."Edited, she says. Please, I saw that picture two years ago. I just don't know why the media decided to bring it up again.""Doe

A union between nobles was the only right path. Anything else would be a disgrace.That was the mindset of these wealthy women who were born into privilege.Gloria let out a sigh. "Luke is a hopeless romantic, so you wouldn't understand the hardships we've been through. Basically, you should really be careful about Summer's future. Don't let her suffer like that. She's the only precious jewel of the Hartford family.""I understand," Kristen replied.Gloria let out a sigh of relief.Terrence couldn't wait to show off the moment he clung to a higher branch. That foolish child shouldn't have made so much noise before he even had a firm standing. He was just like his ill-fated mother, never learning no matter how she was taught.With Kristen gone, the wealthy ladies quickly put their focus on Summer."Summer, your grades weren't always that great, right? How did you suddenly do so well this time? Be honest. Did your parents pull some strings for you?""Exactly! You got such a high

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

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
