The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 457
When Vincent's daughter was just seven years old, she was killed in the streets by an enemy seeking revenge. After that, Vincent fathered several more children with different women, but every one of them was a boy.He never got to have another daughter.Back when Summer had challenged him just now, Vincent had been so furious that he wanted to chop her into pieces.But at that moment, watching the sun set and Summer's figure grow smaller in the distance, Vincent suddenly thought of his daughter.He felt that if his little girl were still alive and had grown up to Summer's age, she would've probably been just like her. She would have been fearless and fierce, not scared of anyone or anything."You heard what she said just now." Vincent looked at the sunflowers in his hand.If his daughter were alive, she would probably buy him flowers, too. When she was young, he would bring her to the park, and she used to pick wildflowers and give them to him."I heard.""Then, get it done. On

Robin was right there, but Summer was already setting up their next date."Alright." Mason nodded.Summer was then promptly shoved into the car by Robin.The car sped off, and Mason stood there, watching.Kyle asked softly, "So, the relationship is basically mostly revealed to the Hartford household, right? It's only Mr. Hartford and Mr. Hartford Senior who don't know yet."Mason nodded. "More or less.""Didn't Mr. Hartford say last time that he wanted to treat you to a meal? Now that you've got over a week here, why don't we arrange that dinner?" Kyle suggested.He'd seen it on Mason's schedule and remembered it."Yes." Mason nodded.Kristen didn't seem hostile toward him. Robin appeared to be completely under Summer's thumb now, so he was firmly on their side. Henry was the hardest one to deal with.So, Mason felt like he should start with his future father-in-law first. He should build the relationship slowly, and the rest would come easier.Kyle couldn't help but sigh in

Just as Jane entered the room, there was a sudden thunderclap, startling Victoria awake."Mom, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Jane rushed over.Victoria's face was pale, but she shook her head. "Why are you here? Where's Rosanna? Is she slacking off again?"Jane looked troubled. "She still hasn't recovered from her foot injury. She's probably just too tired. It's alright. I'm here, aren't I? If you need anything, I'll take care of you. I've gotten used to it these past few days anyway."Victoria looked even more displeased. "When I could still control Mason, every one of my kids and grandkids clung to me like treasure. Now that I can't rein him in anymore, they all ran off so quickly! They only came to visit me here to see how close I am to dying so they can split up my inheritance!""Mom, it's not like that. Everyone's just been busy lately. They all really care about you," Jane said gently.Victoria snapped. "Aren't you busy, too? Rosanna's already been kicked out of th

The men in the van looked at each other, then burst out laughing. One of them pulled out a dagger and tapped Rosanna's face twice with the flat side.Rosanna nearly wet herself in fear."Vincent? What a coincidence! We're here on his orders!"Rosanna froze. Then she asked, "So, you're taking me to see Summer?""You'll know when we get there!"The man didn't say anything else. They tied her up with rope and pulled a black sack over her head.Rosanna's heart was pounding. Since they were working for Vincent, they probably wouldn't hurt her, right?But something about the way they looked at her didn't feel right.The van bumped along the road. After some amount of time, just as Rosanna was about to fall asleep, the vehicle finally came to a stop.She vaguely heard the sound of waves crashing nearby. Then, they shoved her out of the car. As she walked forward, two of the men behind her exchanged glances and chuckled. "It's the first time I've seen an abduction victim so cooperat

The man with the scar said, "You should be grateful that lady isn't the ruthless type. Otherwise, you'd already be shark food.""Summer!" Rosanna screamed at the top of her lungs.Summer wasn't actually being kind. She just knew that Rosanna would suffer far more being alive than just letting her die like that.The man said, "But since you caused Mr. Rourke to lose a lot of money before and even almost got him on Mason's bad side this time, you'll be soaking here until this time tomorrow night as punishment. Whether you survive or not is up to God's will."After he spoke, he waved his hand. "Let's go have a drink.""No! Don't go!" Rosanna had been born into wealth and privilege. She'd never been in such a terrifying place before.At that moment, she was overwhelmed with fear.The sea was so deep. Who knew what kind of creatures were lurking inside?And they had even mentioned sharks just now. Could there be sharks here?Just the thought alone scared her to death.Unfortunatel

Mason chuckled and said, "Tomorrow morning. I guarantee you'll be able to slip out."Summer never doubted anything he said. He always managed to do whatever he promised. She just wondered how he would pull it off.…The next morning, Summer was in the CEO's office at Hartford Group, editing a script when Luke rushed in. "Dad! Royal Financial Group just sent us an invitation. They want to collaborate with us on their bioengineering project!"Summer had heard a little about this project before. She didn't know much about the field, but it sounded amazing. And Royal Financial Group was the only one with that technology.Over the past year, many companies had tried to partner with Royal Financial Group, but they had all been rejected."What's the meaning of this?" Henry froze for a moment before he frowned. "Why does this reek so much of a scheme to take advantage of us?"Summer almost burst out laughing.So, that was the method Mason talked about yesterday that would guarantee s

Robin looked utterly stunned. "When did that happen?""It's just been a few months. It's still a little baby," Summer said."You're already meant to inherit the family's company anyway. It's good to get some practice in now." Robin thought that it would just be a small studio or something like that."This is a secret. Just like with Mason, it's absolutely top secret. You can't tell Grandpa, Dad, or Mom," Summer stated.Robin had never kept so many secrets in his life. "I understand.""Let's go." Summer opened the car door and hopped out happily.Robin followed closely behind her, scanning the surroundings cautiously.They entered the elevator. Inside, Robin immediately noticed the dazzling advertisement for Eridanus. So, that terrifying game developer was located here, too. He had seen both Henry and Luke playing After School and had secretly downloaded it himself to try. Him playing that game was the very definition of a tough guy getting scared.The elevator quickly reach

Saul nodded. "Alright. I'll walk you downstairs.""Okay." Summer could tell Saul seemed like he had something he wanted to say.The two of them walked side by side toward the exit."How's the car accident case going?" Saul asked."It's moving through the legal system," Summer replied.Saul hesitated for a moment. He really wanted to tell Summer that Chandler was actually his cousin. But when the words reached his mouth, he just couldn't say them.Summer had never liked him romantically. She only saw him as a work partner. She was someone who drew clear lines between those she loved and those she hated. If she found out that Chandler was his cousin, would she end up hating him because of that?Just the thought of being disliked and pushed away by Summer made Saul feel like his heart was being torn apart."Saul, are you alright?" Summer asked when she saw he didn't look so good."It's nothing. I'm just worried about you," Saul said.Summer paused for a moment, realizing that he

"I'll do as you wish," Robin said."Mom's busy filming and definitely doesn't have time for me. It's boring at home, too. Let's go eat somewhere!" Summer declared."Alright," Robin replied.Summer was in an unusually good mood today.Summer and Robin went to a famous restaurant nearby. The restaurant served food that was from what she vaguely remembered Henry telling her was Robin's hometown.Back in the day, Henry had even tried to help Robin find his family, but they had failed.The restaurant was inside a bustling shopping mall. Summer and Robin asked for a small private room when they arrived.Toward the end of the meal, Summer received a call from Saul. "Summer, are you home yet? There are two sections I need you to review and revise.""Are you still at the company?" Summer asked."Yes," Saul replied."Have you eaten?" Summer asked again."I haven't," Saul responded.Summer said, "I'm at the shopping mall near the company right now. Come over, and we can talk as we eat

At Royal Financial Group, Henry earnestly looked at the cooperation proposal and the rough draft of the contract that Mason had provided.Henry was a seasoned old fox. He was extremely shrewd.Just going over the contract once was enough for him to see whether there were any hidden traps.Henry put down the contract and looked at Mason. "Mr. Hunt, what's the meaning of this? To put it bluntly, you're not even looking to collaborate with us. You're just giving us free money."Mason said seriously, "Mr. Hartford Senior, you're misunderstanding us. We do need a reliable partner for this project. As everyone knows, you have the highest credibility among all local enterprises. Partnering with you would greatly reduce the risks we face."Henry looked very clear-headed. "Don't try to butter me up. Be straight with me. What's your real goal? Let me make this clear. The matter of your cousin running over my granddaughter's driver has no room for negotiation."Henry emphasized, "If you're
