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
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 407
Rosanna said emotionally, "Your son was clearly set up! Not only are you not speaking up for him, but you're even standing on Kristen's side? Aspen, are you even human?"Aspen was beyond done with Rosanna.He didn't even bother arguing with her anymore. "If you want to continue to cause a scene, then go ahead. It would be best if you managed to piss off Mason enough that he called the Hunt residence and let my mother know what your precious son's done!"With that, Aspen turned to leave.Rosanna's heart sank. She suddenly felt a little scared, too.Just as the two of them were about to leave, the doors of the operating room opened.Summer and the others who had been waiting rushed out from the waiting room."Doctor, is he okay?" Phoebe asked anxiously.The doctor took off his mask and shook his head solemnly. "The injuries were too severe. We couldn't save him."Summer stood frozen in place, feeling like something had just smashed into her skull."How could that be? Mr. West wa

If Chandler had just hit and killed an ordinary person, he might still have a way out.But Summer said it herself. She would stop at nothing to make sure Chandler paid for it.There was no way Mason would help him, which meant no one from Royal Financial Group would dare to step in.A massive wave of fear suddenly swallowed Chandler whole.In the end, Mason took Summer away.Once they got in the car, Summer completely broke down. She clung to Mason and cried her heart out.Mason felt like his heart was about to shatter. He gently patted her on the back and comforted her softly, "This wasn't your fault. Chandler will definitely pay for what he did. I promise."Summer shook her head. "Don't do anything. No matter what, Chandler is still your cousin. I don't want people saying you turned on your own family. I'll handle this myself.""It doesn't matter," Mason said quietly.It took a long time before Summer finally calmed down.Mason sent Summer home, but Summer didn't let him com

Kristen looked completely exasperated. "Do you think I care about that? I just want your whole family to stay far away from me and my daughter!"Aspen's expression paled. "Kristen, I know you're angry. Let's forget about the past and talk about the present. I know Summer is really upset. Chandler was badly beaten by Mason before because of her, and he ended up seriously injured. Since then, his personality has changed a lot."Aspen continued, "What happened tonight was an accident, and he really feels very guilty about causing someone's death. How about this? I'll offer the deceased's family five million dollars in compensation. Let's just let it go, okay?""Five million dollars?" Kristen let out a cold laugh."I can offer more. After all, it was a human life that was lost," Aspen suggested."That depends on Summer. If she says the murderer has to pay with his life, then he'll pay with his life," Kristen sneered.Aspen started to panic. "If we go back to the start, this wasn't ent

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
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 427
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
