There it wasโeveryone in the class knew what Summer's grades were like. Ivan didn't need to say anything else to make them realize how unbelievable her final results were."I have nothing to say. Those are the marks I should've gotten," Summer said.Everyone was stunned."The marks you should've gotten? Through cheating, you mean?" Ivan was furious when he saw how obnoxious she still was. He dropped his sarcasm and pointed at her while berating her."You've gone too far, Summer. Even if you wanted to cheat, you should've done it in moderation. Do you think everyone's a fool like you? How is it possible for you to score almost full marks for everything?" Becca snorted."Do you have anything to prove I cheated, Mr. Sutton?" Summer was as calm as ever. It was as if even the sky crashing down wouldn't affect her."Is proof even necessary when you've cheated to this extent?" Ivan roared. "I know you have bad grades, but will cheating resolve that? Is it going to get you anywhere?""W

"Mr. Sutton!" Just then, Harold's voice came from outside the classroom.Ivan immediately turned to see a group of people standing outside. He didn't know when they had arrived, but Harold was looking at him with a hideous expression.Ivan hurried to him. "I was just dealing with the student who cheated during the finals, Mr. Green.""I just heard her say she didn't cheat, though." Harold wasn't the one who spoke. Ivan looked in the direction from which the voice had come. He was so scared that his knees knocked together when he saw who it was."M-Mr. Huntโฆ" he stammered."Mr. Hunt? Which Mr. Hunt is he talking about?""Oh, my God! It's Mason Hunt!"The students were abuzz. Meanwhile, Summer was lost for words. Was Mason intending to become a student at the school? It was already his second time there, and he seemed to show up whenever someone tried to cause her trouble."You don't understand the situation, Mr. Hunt. Ms. Hartford has always been the worst student in the y

"I don't need it." Summer shook her head.Lindsey looked more anxious than she did. The earlier punishment Ivan had mentioned was already bad enough. It would only become more severe if Summer did badly the second time.Just then, Becca approached them. "Do you know Mason Hunt well, Summer?"Summer glanced at her. "No.""As if! He helped you out last time, and he's doing it again this timeโฆ""Curious, aren't you?" Summer shut her comic book and looked at Becca."I just wanted to find out a little moreโฆ" Becca faked a smile.Sometimes, Summer admired people like her. They'd been in a fight just a couple of days ago, yet there she was, trying to gossip with her.She pointed upstairs. "You can go ahead and ask him about it."Becca's smile froze. "Fine, then. Be that way! It's not like I really wanted to know!"She stormed off.Lindsey asked in a small voice, "Was that man from earlier someone really powerful?"Summer bit off a mouthful of bread. After some thought, she said, "

The seconds ticked, and the sky slowly darkened. Summer maintained a pace of completing one paper in an hour, handing each one out once she'd completed it. Then, the teachers from other years would grade them.The first paper was for mathโshe scored full marks. The second and third papers were also given full marks.Ivan broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the results of the graded tests. His clothes were drenchedโhe looked like he'd taken a soak in the tub.By the time Summer got to her fourth paper, the sky had turned completely dark. It was long past the time school let out, but none of the students had left. They were all waiting for a result.As the news of Summer scoring full marks for each paper spread, everyone started getting excited. The papers ultimately ended up before Mason. His heart softened at the sight of the neat yet cute handwriting. It looked like she'd grown up to be intelligent yet adorable, as he'd hoped.The fourth paper was on Anglorian. Summer had two p

Summer quickly returned to her senses and backed out of Mason's arms. "Sorry. I didn't notice anyone coming this way.""Your grades are exemplary," he said."They're not too bad. I need to head back for dinner, so bye." Everyone was watching themโshe didn't want the whole world to start gossiping about her and Mason.He didn't stop her from leaving. Instead, he wondered whether the stuffed roast duck tasted that great. Why else would she be in such a rush to leave?"Mr. Hunt!" Just then, Harold hurried down the stairs with the school board members behind him.The gentle look on Mason's face immediately disappeared. He turned to leave after saying, "This matter ends here."Harold ran after him. "About the investment for the new campusโฆ""You should deal with the issue of your unethical teachers first," Mason said emotionlessly.Harold stopped and watched as he left. Then, he turned and roared, "Where is Ivan Sutton? Tell him to get the hell over here!"โฆSummer had no intentio

What did Summer mean by asking what Rose was doing there? That was her home, too, wasn't it?"I heard you got punished for cheating," Rose said loudly. She sounded like she wanted the whole world to know about it."Who'd you hear about it from?" Summer continued walking."It's all over the school forum!" Rose exclaimed. "I accidentally let it slip before Grandpa, so he's really angry now. Still, with how much he dotes on you, I'm sure everything will be fine as long as you admit your mistakes and promise you won't do it again. Don't be stubborn!""Did you only see the news about me cheating, Rose? You didn't read about what happened after that?" Summer asked.That took Rose aback. "What happened after that?"Summer acted like she'd only just remembered what had happened. "Oh, right. Mr. Green forbade everyone from discussing the matter."Rose gave her a baffled look. She couldn't understand how Summer could be dumb enough to cheat so blatantly yet look completely unashamed now.

"Sorry to disturb you at this hour, Mr. Green. My family has heard about Mr. Sutton falsely accusing me of cheating, and they're very worried. Could you please explain the situation to my father?" Summer asked. She then handed her phone to Luke.He took it, his brows tightly furrowed. "Good evening, Mr. Greenโฆ"The seconds ticked, and Luke's expression became increasingly grim. He occasionally glanced at Summer. He hung up once Harold had explained everything."What did he say?" Henry asked sternly. "Did someone at school try to frame Summer for this?" Though he didn't believe Summer could score that well, he also didn't believe she would cheat."Summer didn't cheat, Dad." Luke's brows unfurled, and he beamed. "She really scored full marks for four subjects and close to full marks for the other two!""Really?" Henry perked up.Kristen had acted like none of this was her business, but she now looked pleasantly surprised. "How did that happen?""This has never happened at our sc

"It's okay since you didn't actually affect Summer's studies. She's done great this time, hasn't she?" Luke turned to look at Summer sternly. "You can't do this anymore, okay? If you really mean well for Rose, you should work with her and help her improve. What you've done now is not the right way to tackle this. "Do you understand?""Ohโฆ okay." Summer nodded obediently. "Can we eat now that everything has been explained? The stuffed roast duck smells amazing, and I'm starving.""Yes, let's hurry up and eat. Look at the timeโI don't want you to get any gastric issues because of this. Phoebe!" Henry called."You're here too, Anthony." Summer finally spared Anthony a glance."I came along since I was free." Anthony put on a gentlemanly act."Really? I don't think that's the case." Her gaze traveled between him and Rose suggestively. "You and Rose are dating, right?"Her words were akin to a bomb being detonated. Anthony immediately paled, and Rose looked at her in horror."That'

"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, Iโฆ" 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 endโฆLuke 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.
