Chapter 398

Author: Good Night
Summer thought for a moment. "Probably not anytime soon. I'll head over a month early. That should be enough."

"Alright, then. I'll get back to my sketches. Don't worry about that stuff online. They were all praising how awesome you are!" Lindsey said.

"Alright," Summer said before she hung up.

In the end, Summer still ended up going online to look at what people were saying about her. It was pretty much as Lindsey had said. Most of the comments were positive.

Of course, there were a few trolls claiming she'd bought her way onto the trending list or faked her exam scores.

Summer ignored all of that.

It actually felt quite surreal. In her past life, her public image had been awful—so much so that even a casual mention of her online would draw a wave of public ridicule.

After her rebirth, it was the same time period, the same Internet, and maybe even the same people. Yet, the name Summer Hartford had gone from something everyone spat on and trampled over to an object of admiration

    As long as Chandler could get into the upper ranks, wouldn't everything else be easy?Unfortunately, that idiot Chandler had followed his useless mother's lead and completely ruined himself."Could you treat your son a little better? Why don't I see you shouting at Mason like this?" Rosanna snapped.The more Aspen looked at her, the more disgusted he felt."If you ask me, the real culprit here is Summer!" Rosanna changed the topic.She knew very well that Mason was beyond her reach, but Summer came from a small no-name family. She refused to believe she couldn't do anything to Summer."Shut up!" Aspen finally exploded.Rosanna flinched in shock. "Aspen, what are you yelling at me for?""Rosanna, I'm warning you. Do not touch Summer! Why are you trying to provoke Mason like that? Have you forgotten what he said in the morning?" Aspen asked in anger."Mason actually admitted to being involved with Summer at the residence?" Chandler's expression changed drastically.Aspen nodded

    After Chandler finished speaking, he didn't even spare a glance at the stunned Aspen. He turned around and stormed out."Chandler!" Rosanna panicked and ran after him.Chandler jumped into a sports car and sped out of the house."Follow Chandler quickly! Don't let him look for Mason!" Rosanna shouted at the security guards.After that, she ran back inside. "Aspen, how far are you going to push me and Chandler? Kristen has never liked you! It's been more than 20 years, and you're still willing to hurt us for her sake?" Aspen was already overwhelmed by everything that was happening with Kristen. The moment Rosanna brought up Kristen again, his anger exploded.He shouted, "Kristen this, Kristen that! That's all you ever talk about! It's been over 20 years! I've had enough of you! Look at what kind of disaster this has turned into, and you're still thinking of fighting Mason? Do you think your brain is capable of that?"After that, Aspen stormed out of the house as well.Rosanna s

    Vincent barked impatiently, "Hold on! Who said I'm afraid of Mason? As long as you give me proof that this whole thing was caused by Summer, I'll make sure I pay back what's owed. I don't care whose sweetheart she is!"Rosanna's lips curled up into a smile. "Alright. I'll send you a recording right away."Yes, Rosanna had recorded Mason's words when he threatened everyone at the Hunt residence.Summer had no idea she had been pulled into the Hunt family's internal war. On the way back, she saw an old woman selling flowers by the roadside.It was already getting late, and there were still many unsold flowers in the basket the old woman carried. It was gardenia season at that moment, which seemed like what that old woman was selling.Summer said, "Stop here. You can drive back first. I want to take a walk.""Ms. Hartford, it's getting late," the driver, Paul West, said uneasily.After Summer got out of the car, she told Paul to drive back and get off duty. After that, she went over

    That bloodied hand moved slightly.Summer let out a breath of relief. "Don't be afraid. The ambulance will be here soon. Everything will be fine!"The hand twitched again.At that moment, someone crawled out from that heavily damaged sports car.Summer was stunned when she looked over. "Chandler?"When Chandler had stormed out of his house, he was completely consumed by his rage. Memories of everything that happened between him and Summer flashed through his mind as he drove.There was also the pain and humiliation from being beaten by Mason and the way Aspen had yelled at him. All of that piled together in his head until one thought remained in his mind.He might as well die with Summer. If he couldn't have her, then Mason wouldn't, either. If Aspen looked down on him for not being Kristen's son, then he would destroy Kristen's daughter.In short, he wanted to go down together.After asking around, he learned that Summer was on the way home. So, Chandler drove over and waited

    In an instant, all Mason could hear was a loud buzzing in his ears. "What happened to Summer?""Thankfully, she's a kind person. She saw an old lady selling flowers at the intersection and got out early to buy some. That's the only reason she avoided the crash. "I saw the photo my staff sent me of the scene. The car she was in was completely flipped over! Even the backseat was crushed!" Luke said.He gritted his teeth. "If Summer had been inside, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Mr. Hunt, even if you randomly decided to acquire Hartford Group years ago and even if my father hasn't liked you since, my family has done nothing to provoke you. What do you guys want?""Mr. Hartford, please don't worry. I'll personally give you a proper explanation for this," Mason said seriously."This is the last time. If anyone from the Hunt family dares to harm my wife or my daughter again, I won't spare you," Luke threatened.After that, Luke hung up. He had no idea whose son Chandle

    Mason was stunned."I just want to know why he did it." His fists were clenched tightly."That's not important." Summer looked at him in a reassuring manner.Phoebe stood behind them, staring wide-eyed at the scene before her. Something didn't seem right here."Ms. Hartford…" Phoebe started with great difficulty.Summer turned around. "Phoebe, I'll explain it to you later."Phoebe's legs nearly gave out. She had to steady herself on the railing to stay upright. Explain what? Would there be anything to explain if there was nothing going on between the two of them?It was over. The innocent little lamb was snatched away by the wolf."Oh, dear!" Phoebe slapped her thigh and turned around in frustration.At that moment, the elevator opened.Summer was just about to go with Mason to the VIP waiting room when a hostile voice shouted from behind, "Summer, you hurt my son again!"It was Rosanna.Summer shook her head. "Does your aunt have a few screws loose in her head?"Phoebe w

    Summer said coldly, "I've got nothing to say to either of you. Rosanna, if you say one more word about my mother, I'll cut your tongue out.""You wouldn't dare!" Rosanna spat.Summer grabbed Rosanna by the collar. "Try me! Didn't you say Mason is backing me? You're right—he is. So, think about it carefully. Would he let anyone find out even if I really did cut your tongue out?"Rosanna was stunned.Summer sneered. "He wouldn't. He'd just help me lock you up until you rot."Rosanna stared at Summer. At that moment, she felt like Summer was a demon straight out of hell. Something seemed to be stuck in her throat, and she couldn't even catch her breath.Just then, the elevator chimed.Kristen stepped out, still in her stage costume. When she saw what was happening, she froze in shock."Summer!" She rushed over and took Summer's wrist, trying to stay as gentle as she could. "Summer, let go. I'm here now."Summer swallowed her fury and obediently released her grip."Kristen, what a

    Once they entered the waiting room, the atmosphere immediately turned strange.Kristen immediately checked if Summer was injured, and she breathed a sigh of relief once she made sure that Summer was fine.After that, she looked at Mason. "Mr. Hunt, I won't ask what's going on between you and Summer right now, but what was that Rosanna was talking to you about?"Phoebe grew anxious. "Mrs. Hartford, I think you should still ask about it.""Do you think it'd make a difference if I did?" Kristen looked at Mason.Mason answered, "My family did arrange someone for me. I went home not knowing anything, and I refused it immediately. Right now, I'm still pursuing Summer. She hasn't agreed yet."Summer was speechless.A headache—she had a splitting headache.Did Mason really have to rush over like that?"Mom, I'll explain everything to you later," Summer said softly."You don't need to explain it to me. Just think about how you're going to explain it to your dad and grandpa, especially

    "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.
