"Ms. Lynn, your wording is quite strange. What do you mean by 'hiding her'?" Summer asked.

"Summer, what's going on? Did you hide her assistant?" Clint asked in confusion.

"Mr. Ford, her assistant came to me yesterday. She said she'd been abused for a long time and wanted my help," Summer explained.

Susan shouted, "Abuse? Don't talk nonsense! Enough with this. Hand over Anna right now, or I'll take the surveillance footage to the police and report you for abduction!"

Summer stood up. "Great. Go call the police right now. Let's settle the matter of you abusing a minor."

"You're talking nonsense! Her grandmother sent her to me!" Susan started to panic.

"So what? Just because her grandmother sent her to you doesn't mean you can abuse her," Emma said.

"I see now! So you're trying to bully me because you're rich and powerful." Susan glared at Summer and Emma.

Summer stared at her and asked, "What? You're allowed to bully someone younger, and I'm not allowed to bully you?"

    "What do you want? Why are you blocking me?" Simon asked in a panic, then shouted toward the guard booth, "Security! Security!"There were clearly people inside, but no matter how loudly he yelled, no one came out or even looked his way.Simon was overwhelmed with despair. He turned to run, but the men in black quickly grabbed him."What are you doing?" He struggled desperately.Just then, the door of the black car parked nearby opened, and Summer stepped out.Simon clearly recognized her. The moment he saw her, he was completely stunned.Summer walked to him with her arms crossed. "Are you surprised? You probably thought I'd never trace anything back to you. After all, you weren't the psychiatrist, you weren't his nurse, and you weren't even family. So, how could I possibly find you?""I don't know what you're talking about! I don't even know who you are!" Simon said hurriedly.The last trace of amusement disappeared from Summer's face.She stared at him. "Last year, you lost

    "Then what?" Simon asked."There was nothing else. She just left." Hailey paused for a moment. "But right before she left, she suddenly asked me who the patient was close to in the hospital."Simon's hand froze mid-motion. "What did you say?"Hailey glanced at him. She was suddenly worried that Simon would be unhappy that she had mentioned him to Summer."How would I know who he was close to? He was just about to be discharged when I got here," she replied.Simon smiled. "True enough. Alright, then. I won't keep you from your work."With that, he turned and left.Hailey let out a quiet sigh of relief and got back to finishing the tasks she hadn't completed before Summer arrived.…The rest of the day passed quickly.After leaving the psychiatric hospital, Summer returned to the film set to continue shooting.A lot of people had witnessed the incident yesterday, so they rushed over with concern the moment she came back.Summer said, "It was a mentally ill person. Luckily, Em

    Hailey braced herself and stepped in front of Summer. "Ms. Hartford, this isn't good for the patient's condition. I promise you I'll question him properly once he calms down a bit. I'll inform you right away if he says anything."Summer didn't respond. She gave Freddy one last icy glance before she turned around and walked out.Freddy might be crazy, but he was clearly a coward.She didn't believe for a second that he just happened to see her on the street and suddenly wanted to kill her."Ms. Hartford!" Hailey quickly followed after her."Does anyone come to visit him usually?" Summer asked.Hailey shook her head. "He used to be a thug. I think he grew up in an orphanage, so he has no family. After he went crazy, all his friends stopped visiting."Summer glanced at the courtyard outside. The sun was warm and bright, and several patients were out enjoying it, assisted by orderlies.She noticed the contrast immediately.Some patients clearly trusted their caretakers, letting th

    Yes, that man dressed as a sanitation worker, Freddy Sloan, was someone with a mental disorder. He had a psychotic episode at the police station, so he was immediately transferred to a psychiatric hospital.Summer's car arrived at the facility.Inside, the hallways were filled with patients. Some were thrashing around in a frenzy, some were sitting down staring blankly into space, and some others were mumbling nonsense with vacant looks in their eyes.In short, as Summer followed the nurse deeper inside, all she saw were some disturbing scenes.The nurse, Hailey Blithe, thought Summer would be scared and said, "Ms. Hartford, don't be afraid. They don't hurt anyone.""I'm not afraid," Summer said calmly.Compared to a real hellhole of an asylum, this place had proper equipment and medical care and was nothing to be afraid of.Soon, they arrived at Freddy's room.He was strapped to the bed. The moment he saw Summer enter, he started to get agitated. "I'll kill you! I'll kill you!

    It was past 11:00 pm when the group finally finished eating and drinking. With laughter and chatter, they began heading back to the set.Just as Summer and her group stepped out of the restaurant, the night breeze brushed past them, feeling refreshing and pleasant.At the entrance, a man dressed in a cleaner's uniform was hunched over, sweeping trash from beneath the outdoor tables.When he saw Summer walking toward him, there was suddenly a murderous glint in his eyes.Before anyone could react, a dagger slid out of his sleeve, and he charged straight toward Summer, aiming the blade at her neck."Oh, my God!"Panic erupted in the crowd.The man had been standing extremely close, so there wasn't any time for anyone to react.At the critical moment, Emma shoved Summer out of the way. She was slightly taller than Summer, and due to the angle of impact, the knife missed the carotid artery. But it still pierced through her shoulder."Emma!" Summer cried out in alarm.By then, her

    The time and cost required for the project were both enormous.Fortunately, over the past six months, Summer's team had steadily brought in more talent. Everyone was passionate and driven, which made the work smooth and efficient.Summer had been discussing in-app purchase strategies for the upcoming large-scale game with Lionel when a timid voice called out beside her, "Summer."She looked over and saw that it was Rose.Rose had that familiar pitiful expression on her face again, which might have worked on others. But in Summer's eyes, it only caused her to wonder what trick Rose was trying to pull this time.Rose said cautiously, "The previous incident was my fault. Though there were some misunderstandings, that's not important now. What matters is I made mistakes, and I've done a lot of thinking lately. I really do feel sorry.""Okay," Summer answered."So, I'd like to toast you with some water. I hope we can bury the hatchet and move on," Rose said.Bury the hatchet? What a
