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

Everyone present was dumbfounded. Even Summer was caught off guard."You motherless bastard! I'll tear your filthy mouth apart!" The lady froze for a moment before she exploded in rage, lunging at Terrence.Terrence didn't back down at all as he stood up. He was tall, and the moment the lady got close, she was overwhelmed.Terrence smiled. "You're resorting to violence after just a word or two? Did it ever cross your mind that Summer might also get angry when you were talking about her?"The lady sneered. "What does it have to do with you? What? Are you interested in her? You should take a look at yourself first. A bastard child wanting to get the heiress of Hartford Group? Dream on!"For a split second, Terrence's expression faltered. But he quickly regained his composure.At that moment, Summer, who had remained silent the whole time, stood up.Everyone's gaze fell on her, including that lady's."Ladies, after entertaining you for a whole morning, I must admit that I'm gettin

Summer paused for a moment before looking at the daughter. "You'd better not bring her to places like this in the future. It's not suitable for her."She looked so innocent that she was probably well protected by her parents since she was young.Looking at her made Summer vaguely recall what she had been like at that age.The girl summoned up her courage and said, "Summer, shall we exchange contacts? I play… No, I have some study-related questions I'd like to ask you."Summer hesitated for a moment but still exchanged contacts."Let's hang out next time." The girl waved at Summer before leaving with her mother.Terrence appeared right as they left."You didn't need to do that just now. I could have handled it myself," Summer said.Terrence flashed a fox-like smile. "I just wanted you to owe me.""Sorry. I don't owe you anything for meddling in my business," Summer answered coldly.Terrence leaned against a pillar and tilted his head to look at her. "I just thought you were cu

As expected of the woman Terrence had his eyes on. Summer was brilliant.Just as Terrence was watching Summer, Gloria slapped his face out of anger. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth."Does hitting me solve anything?" Terrence took a step forward.Gloria was a little shaken as she took a step back. "What are you trying to do?""Gloria, aren't you always hoping that your son will transform and rise up? You want him to prove himself to my father and take over the company, right?" Terrence sneered.He continued, "I've never cared about fighting over anything before, but you've just reminded me of something. An illegitimate child like me would never be worthy of a woman as amazing as Summer if I didn't fight my way to the top.""Terrence!" Gloria roared."It's a bit too early to get angry now. Let's wait and see." He brushed past her, lifting his hand to wipe the blood from his lips with his thumb.He had heard all sorts of cruel words growing up. Mongrel, bastard, and ill

The games played among the elite could be seen as complex but simple as well. It all boiled down to whoever had more power and money, as well as intelligence.The wealthy women often kept each other in check, mainly because they were all equals. But Summer was different. She was the heiress of Hartford Group.As for the children of those wealthy women, it wasn't even a sure thing they could survive the brutal competition within their families. So, unless they were idiots, they wouldn't dare to offend her after they had all calmed down.Kristen looked at Summer in shock."Summer, where did you learn this?"Summer beamed at her. "Your daughter was a natural-born tycoon. No one had to teach me!""A natural… tycoon…" Kristen's expression froze, as if something had crossed her mind."Mom, what is it? Do you not like me acting this way?" Summer could tell that Kristen was acting odd.Kristen snapped back to reality. "It's nothing. Of course I'd want you to be stronger than anyone."

"How did you know I was coming?" After they kissed, Summer started toying with Mason's hair.Mason still held onto her tightly, unwilling to let go. "I felt it."Summer laughed and playfully smacked him. "What nonsense! I have some good news."Mason nodded. "Go ahead."Summer said, "The SAT results are out. I'm the top scorer of the region."Mason wasn't shocked at all."You already knew?" Summer pushed him away slightly.He pulled her back. "I saw the news. I couldn't think about anyone else who would top the rankings but you.""What a sweet talker." Summer traced his ear with her finger.Mason kissed her again. "Sweet enough?"Summer felt exasperated. "So, Mr. Hunt, since I did so well, where's my present?"He nodded. "You'll get one. I'll take you to see it in a few days.""Take me to see it? Did you buy a whole building?" she asked in surprise."I didn't, but I can if you want one," Mason answered."There's no need!" Summer waved it off dismissively. After that, she c

"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.
