"That concludes today's bidding event. Thank you all for attending. The final results will be posted on our official website, so please exit the venue in an orderly fashion," the judge said.Someone from the crowd shouted, "But the plagiarism issue hasn't even been resolved! How can it end just like that?"No one gave an explanation. Security soon began escorting the crowd out. Only the people from Eridanus and Anthony's teams remained."Mr. Simmons, right?" Brad got up and slowly walked to Lionel."Mr. Sullivan Senior, what is the meaning of this?" Lionel responded politely enough.Brad said with a smile, "I think my future grandson-in-law must have been scammed by someone. How about this? Our company will take this project, and both your teams can work on it together. As for the compensation, we're open for discussions."Lionel smiled faintly. "I don't really understand. Why should we partner with someone that stole our work?"Brad wasn't surprised by Lionel's reaction. He pat

"Let's go." Summer and the other staff members stood up and followed Lionel out.Anthony's gaze fell on Summer, and he felt like he had been struck by lightning. "Wait! Don't go!" he shouted and tried to chase after her.But Brad slapped him hard across the face. "You disgraceful bastard!"Anthony was completely stunned.Patrick hurried on stage. "Dad! Don't hit him. Let's talk this through.""You and Janice claim that you're in love, so I tolerated that scandal. I set aside family pride and agreed to your engagement and even set the stage for you to enter the family. And what you do instead is pull such a petty scheme!" Brad scolded furiously.Anthony had never been so humiliated in his life. He clutched his cheek as his body froze."Is fair competition so hard? You even ended up poaching an idiot from another company! You stole someone else's design and told me you wrote it yourself, then you changed the story and said you bought it. Anthony, is there a single word of truth

Anthony clenched his fists tightly.Eridanus wanted to come after him? He'd show them.…Summer and the others got back to the car. There was a brief silence before the group erupted into cheers and high-fives."Oh, my God! Did you see Duco's face? That was so satisfying! You have no idea how much he annoyed me the week before he resigned! He was yelling at me every day!" Lily, who had come to help with the presentation, beamed."Well, don't get too excited. After all, we didn't win the bid," Lionel said cheerfully. That mature, professional act he put on stage just now was completely gone."Stop pretending. You're obviously the happiest one here," Lily said with a smile.Summer raised her hand and announced, "I enjoyed the show, too. So, I'll treat you all to a seafood feast!""Yes! I haven't had seafood in forever!" Lily nodded.And just like that, Lionel led the group straight to a seafood restaurant. They feasted and drank to their hearts' content and even packed up some f

"I'm warning you. Summer doesn't like you, so you'd better stay away from her." Terrence walked right up to Anthony.He took off the sunglasses perched on his head and lightly tapped Anthony's chest with them. "If that pathetic little company of yours still wants to stay in business, then back off.""Mr. Dincht, feelings aren't something you can control with power and influence." Anthony's voice was trembling.Terrence laughed. "Power? Anthony, you know exactly what kind of trash you are. Do you think I need power to crush you?"Anthony stood frozen in place, looking like a helpless little lamb that was about to be beaten up by Terrence."Remember what I said. Otherwise, the Sullivan family you worked so hard to cling on to? I can tear that connection apart. If you don't know who I am, then go ask Janice about me. Understood?" Terrence threatened.Anthony nodded.Then, Terrence smiled and walked back to his car. He pulled the top back up and drove off without a second glance.U

"You know him?" Summer's tone clearly carried some surprise and excitement.Saul replied, "I do. He just happens to be in the country lately. If you want to meet, I can set it up.""If he's willing!" Summer answered."Of course he would be. I'll book the restaurant in a bit. You just need to come over," Saul said."Alright. Thank you, Saul!" Summer answered."No need to thank me," Saul replied.After he hung up, Saul stood beneath the sun for a long time before he turned back to the company.He no longer cared if what he did was petty. The sooner he let Terrence know that the woman he liked was Summer, the better.With that last-minute appointment, Summer couldn't head over to Kristen's set like she planned.She had her fingerprint registered to Mason's apartment, too. So, after she walked out of the elevator, Summer went over to Mason's apartment first.Compared to how messy her place always was, Mason's place had the strange air of almost being uninhabited.Summer had want

"Let's sit and talk." Terrence sat down with a dazed expression.After that, he watched as Saul politely pulled out a chair for Summer and sat down beside her.Terrence felt like this absurd scene was a dream."How did the two of you meet?" he asked.Saul poured Summer some water. "It was by chance. Then a mutual friend introduced me to Eridanus as a marketing strategist. We got to know each other after a bit. Didn't you explain the ranking situation to her?"Terrence looked at Summer. "I haven't been able to.""What situation?" Summer glanced at Saul.Terrence said stiffly, "He's Nono. I used his account to go against you at the time.""You're Nono?" Summer was shocked for the second time in a few minutes.Saul nodded. "I am. Don't be mad, okay? You were hiding your identity at the start, too. Then, I didn't really know how to bring it up because of your deal with Terrence. I brought you here today so I could explain everything face-to-face.""There's nothing to be mad about

"Just last month." Summer paused for a moment. "Enough about me. So, you're actually Nono. How dare you pretend to be weak in front of me before? I almost believed you!"Saul's mind was completely blank at that moment.He had wanted to use this meeting to shake Terrence. But he never imagined that today would be the day both he and Terrence would be left devastated."Can you tell me who he is? I might know him." Saul acted as if he hadn't heard the part where Summer said not to talk about her.Summer continued eating her steak. "Nope. We're still in a trial period."Saul lowered his gaze.With his personality, asking questions like that was already difficult, especially about this sort of thing.He was suddenly filled with regret.Why was he so careful before? Why hadn't he just confessed his feelings from the start? Why….At that moment, Summer's phone rang.It was from Kristen.After Summer hung up, she said apologetically, "My mom needs me to come over, so I have to leave

"It's alright. This is just an emergency. We can't find a young actress with a good figure who knows ballet on such short notice. If it really doesn't work, we'll just shoot a close-up with someone else later," Joshua explained."Then, let's do it," Summer agreed."Makeup artist, get ready!" Joshua had thought that there was no way Summer, the little heiress, would help out so easily. He never expected to get such a quick response.He practically ran off with glee as he ordered the crew to get ready."Summer, are you sure this isn't too much for you?" Kristen asked apologetically.Summer smiled and said, "I really don't mind. I want to experience things as much as I can."Her past life had been way too stifling. So, she wanted to experience life as much as she could. She wasn't going to waste her second shot at life.Kristen patted her on the head. "If you like it, then I can help you find an acting coach.""Why would I need a coach? My mother is an award-winning actress!" Summ

"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.
