Chapter 53

ผู้เขียน: Good Night
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. Green…"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?""Oh… 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 time—I 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'

    Rose's actions startled Anthony. "What are you doing? Summer's already suspecting us. Open the door!"Why would a male tutor and a female student lock the door during a lesson? Wasn't that an obvious sign that there was something between them?"Look at how worried you are about what she thinks. When has she ever mattered to you?" Rose sneered."What nonsense are you spouting?" Anthony lowered his voice.She suddenly lost her mind and pushed him to the desk before kissing him forcefully."Rose Sanderson!" He shoved her away. Disgust had washed over him the moment her lips met his—he was reminded of how many other men had kissed her in the past."Have you fallen for Summer? Your eyes were gleaming when you were complimenting her earlier. Were you afraid I wouldn't see it?" Rose snarled."Have you lost your mind?" Anthony growled. "Didn't you say the plan was to make her fall for me as soon as possible? How is that going to happen if I don't show her I'm interested in her?""As if

    After Phoebe left, Anthony texted Rose so that no one would overhear them. "Has she noticed something?"Rose was a little disdainful of Phoebe. "That's just what she's like. She's always sarcastic and mocking when it comes to me."Anthony glanced at Rose. He wrote, "If we're proceeding with the plan, we can't delay what we talked about any longer. You can make the necessary arrangements since we're with her right now."She frowned. She had a feeling that Summer was genuinely uninterested in Anthony, so it looked like there was no chance of making her fall in love with him. And if they were to make her end up in bed with him…Based on Rose's understanding of the Hartfords, they wouldn't force Summer into being with Anthony if she didn't like him. It didn't matter whether or not she'd slept with him.She thought about how obnoxious Summer had been earlier as well as Kristen's and Luke's displeasure with her. Her hatred for them intensified."We're in no rush," she replied. "Let's w

    Kristen had tried hard to recall the past. She remembered Summer's personality changing after Rose had come to the Hartford family.She also recalled telling Summer to be nice to Rose when the latter had just arrived. "Rose is a poor thing because she's lost her mom and dad, Summer. You have to be nice to her and care for her, okay?""Okay." Summer had nodded.Kristen didn't remember having a heart-to-heart with Summer since then. They walked along the path, eventually reaching the main road outside the manor."We've come really far. Look at how we're already outside." Summer glanced behind them."Let's just head inside from the front, then." Kristen pointed ahead. "Your father and I always take this path when we come out for a stroll.""Okay." Summer nodded. Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a black car parked on the other side of the road. There seemed to be someone inside. For some reason, she had the urge to find out who it was."What's wrong?" Kristen followe

    The car's white headlights lit the road up.Summer's back hurt like hell. She didn't know whether the attack had broken any bones. She stared at the light. For some reason, it made her fear dissipate.The black car turned around and rammed the motorcyclist as they approached. He was sent flying before crashing to the ground.Kristen cried out in fear and used her body to shield Summer. The latter's face was ashen from the pain, and cold sweat drenched her forehead. She leaned against Kristen's chest and said softly, "Mom… we're safe now.""Huh?" Kristen didn't understand that.Just then, the car door opened. A tall man got out of the driver's side and ran to Summer. "Are you okay?"Kristen was startled when she saw him. "Mason Hunt?"Summer said, "Forget about me. Don't let that bastard get away!"Mason was upset when he saw how much pain she was in. "He's not getting anywhere!"With that, he reached out to lift her into his arms, not caring that Kristen was right there.Summ

    Kristen told Henry what had happened. He listened with furrowed brows before asking Mason, "Why were you hanging around outside our house in the middle of the night?""I was in the area," Mason answered. "I stopped for a break because I was tired."Henry glared at him. He was deeply prejudiced against Mason, so his suspicions weren't diminished."Dad…" Luke started helplessly."Where's the bastard?" Henry switched subjects. "Where's the bastard who injured my precious Summer?""He's been captured, and his leg has been broken. He was howling from the pain, so Robin left him in the yard," Kristen said."How can a broken leg be enough to make up for this? His neck has to be snapped to compensate for Summer's injury!" Henry snarled. He turned to head to the yard.Meanwhile, Anthony looked uneasy. His brows were tightly furrowed as he looked at Rose, who stood beside him. He wondered whether she'd been the one dumb enough to do this.Rose sensed his eyes on her and mouthed, "It wasn

    Once the man lost his helmet, he quickly tried to hide away, but Robin gave him a kick. "Why are you hiding? Do you finally feel shame?"When the man tumbled back into sight, everyone finally had a good look at his face. Rose was the first to recognize him. She gasped, "Mr. Sutton?""Who again?" asked Henry with a deep frown."He's our homeroom teacher—Ivan Sutton," Summer explained word by word.Kristen, who recognized Ivan as well, approached him. "How could this be? You're my daughter's homeroom teacher. You've just accused her of cheating in her exams, and we haven't settled that matter with you. How dare you ambush her at our door?"Ivan panicked. Summer was vindicated after the results of the evening exam were released. After that, Harold angrily met with Ivan, telling him that Mason might pull back investments in the new school district all because of his actions. Harold had forced Ivan to meet up and apologize to the Hartfords.Since Ivan didn't want to lose his job—w

    "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.
