Summer's casual remark brought a brief silence to the crowd before they started cheering again.Lionel grinned and took off his broken glasses. "It looks like you're quite bold. Since you're already here and we've got an audience, how about a friendly spar? I know a bit of everything, too.""What are you thinking?" Summer asked.She had always suppressed her competitive side, but now that she had let loose, her blood was boiling. There was no way she would say no to a challenge.On top of that, it was a good chance to set up a diversion for that Nono guy.Saul squeezed through the crowd and finally saw Summer sitting in front of the computer.She was wearing a baseball cap, so he could only see her side profile. Her complexion was very fair, and the shape of her nose and her smile made her seem like a beautiful lady."Who is she?" Saul asked the person beside him."No idea. She came to build a computer. The moment she walked in, she started ordering some top-of-the-line parts,"

Whether it was in the past or now, Summer couldn't change the fact that she was a sucker for good looks.She glanced at the time before she said, "I still have ten minutes.""Then, let's do a timed challenge," Saul suggested.A faint, pleasant fragrance from Summer reached Saul's nose. The scent brought him an inexplicable sense of joy.His psychologist had once told him that there were certain people in the world that just had a naturally soothing effect, whether it was because of their appearance, voice, or even the pheromones they emitted.Saul hadn't believed it back then. But now, he had met someone like that.Summer took the timed challenge with Saul very seriously.Saul was a non-typical programmer, and winning wasn't something he really cared about. For instance, his full focus was on Summer at that moment, and he made no effort to play seriously during these ten minutes. It was only natural that he lost.In less than five minutes, Summer finished the match."You lost,

As for Terrence, he refused to lose. Even if he was accepting the challenge under Saul's identity.Seeing that Terrence was getting serious, Fred immediately dropped his playful smile. In his mind, he could only hope that X was worth all of Terrence's desperate efforts.After Summer left the marketplace, she didn't rush home. She drove right to the city center to take care of another matter instead.She had scheduled a meeting with an agency in advance and arranged for them to meet her somewhere private after lunch."This is the information you requested." Summer handed over the file."As long as you've confirmed that all your details are correct, then it's fine. This is the nominee identity for the company you requested and the proxy agreement." The woman across from her passed over a stack of contracts.Summer took them without a word and started to review it carefully. It was an agreement to use a proxy identity to register a company.Summer's identity was a sensitive one, an

Summer quickly confirmed the target's location. It was actually near the city center."Summer, it's not that I don't trust you. You know that too many bad things have happened recently. I'm just worried…" Kristen said."I understand. I'll head back now. I'll check in with you every ten minutes until I get home. Don't worry, okay?" Summer said.Kristen felt utterly helpless as she listened to Summer. "I can hold off your dad, but I can't do anything about your grandpa. Hurry back!""Mom, you're the best!" Summer said as she hung up.After noting down the location, she gathered her belongings and stepped out of the room.The atmosphere outside seemed incredibly tense.Just as she was about to settle her bill at the front desk, a tall, burly security guard suddenly grabbed her and dragged her aside."What are you doing?" Summer asked in fright.This private club catered exclusively to high society. It had highly trained staff who maintained very strict etiquette and treated all t

"Mason, what are you doing with your greasy claws?" Summer said in shock, only realizing that she was being pulled along after taking two steps back.Everyone in the lobby was stunned.What did Summer call Mason's hands?"There's something fishy about it. There definitely is! There's no such thing as a man who doesn't fool around with women. This lady must be someone that Mr. Hunt secretly has on the side. Quickly! Look into who she is immediately!" Conrad demanded, as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.Mason had a reputation for being cold, ruthless, and indifferent to love. He was a monster who was wrapped in an attractive shell. His lack of weakness was his greatest strength.Dealing with a man without a weakness was incredibly difficult, but now, Conrad had finally found Mason's weakness!Just look at how arrogantly Summer acted in front of Mason. Just how much did he spoil her for her to act like that?Mason dragged Summer right into a room."Mason, what are you doing?"
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 81
Summer didn't know the reason, but Mason would probably play the same role he did in her previous life. He would be a silent guardian. He wouldn't break that thin boundary between them, and she wouldn't, either.It was fine."Does it still hurt?" Mason asked.Summer was taken aback for a moment before she realized he was talking about the injury on her back."It doesn't hurt anymore." She shook her head."I'll have someone take you home. It's pouring outside, and it's already dark. It's not safe," Mason said.Summer shook his head. "There's no need. My grandpa will be mad if he finds out."Mason nodded. "Go on, then."Summer opened the door and walked out. She had barely taken two steps when Conrad rushed over. "Miss, I'm so sorry for what happened earlier. I was just blind and ignorant. Please don't take what I said earlier to heart."Summer kept walking straight ahead.Conrad hurried after her. "And I've chased all those women away. Don't be jealous because of what happen

"Who are you looking for?" Mason asked."I don't know who they are," Summer answered.Mason glanced at her. "You don't know them?""Just focus on driving, old man. Don't worry about a young girl's social life," Summer said.Mason was taken aback for a moment before he laughed. "Old man? I'm only a few years older than you."Summer smirked, looking like a rebellious girl.Mason didn't say anything else. He drove her car out of the parking lot and made a call along the way, arranging for someone to take care of Summer's car.The rain was pouring relentlessly outside, and Summer made a call to Kristen like they agreed. After she hung up, she stared at the curtain of rain.It was rush hour, and the city center was heavily congested. They barely moved a few feet in several minutes.Inside the car, Summer could smell the faint scent of cigarettes from Mason's body, which made her feel somewhat dazed."Did you see the gift I sent you?" Mason asked.Summer glanced at him and nodded

Summer raised an eyebrow and shrugged. "It would be too boring if she just disappeared. I'd rather keep her around and have some fun. Mr. Hunt, you should just focus on yourself instead of meddling in my affairs. Your life is a lot messier than mine.""Ms. Hartford, you're quite different from the rumors," Mason said slowly.She was far from just different. She was basically a different person."The rumors also say that you're a monster. So, is Mason Hunt a monster?" Summer cupped her chin with her palm as she asked Mason."That's hard to say," Mason said with one hand on the steering wheel. He leaned slightly toward her. "Since you know that the rumors call me a monster, why don't you seem scared of me at all?"As he suddenly leaned in, Summer had a brief moment where she felt like she fell into his deep, mesmerizing eyes.Her mind went blank for a moment. She even forgot to look away.Their eyes locked with one another. The faint smile on Mason's lips slowly disappeared as wel

At dinner time, the West family had finally calmed down.Summer had quickly arranged for a professional financial manager to divide and manage the ten million dollars on their behalf."Mrs. West, take a look at this. Ten million dollars is no small sum. I was worried that if you took the whole amount home, it might attract trouble. So, I asked a financial manager to prepare a plan." Summer handed her a copy of the financial plan.She said, "You won't receive the money all at once, but you'll have more than enough for your monthly expenses. The child's education is budgeted with the best resources as well."Bailey looked at it and said, "Ms. Hartford, I know you won't harm us. We don't understand any of this anyway, so whatever you arrange for us is fine."Summer said casually, "Alright! Oh, Dustin, after the funeral, you should stay a few more days. My parents found a top-notch specialist for you. We'll take you for a full-body checkup and get a proper treatment plan going."Bail

Naturally, Phoebe was referring to Mason.Summer chuckled. "You know what kind of mess the Hunt family is in. If Ruddy is polite when he gets there, maybe he'll be fine. But if not, he's in for a beating."Phoebe looked baffled. "What's he going there for anyway? Can an illiterate write out a letter?"Summer was taken aback. "He can't read?"Phoebe said, "That's right. Even writing his own name is a struggle. We actually started school together as kids, but he attended for a day and never came back."Back then, a brick factory had been established in their village. The pay was based on how many bricks one moved.The West family was always broke, so when Ruddy heard that there was money to be made, he quit school and ran off to haul bricks.At first, he did make some cash, but he blew it all by strutting around town like a big shot.Later, when the factory stopped making money, he was already too old to go back to school. So, he went south with a relative to find work.Summer s

Ruddy's face went pale in an instant.Those twin boys were the children he'd had a few years ago with a young woman. After that, he got tired of providing for the family and broke up with her. Hardly anyone knew about it. He hadn't even told his family.He never imagined that Aspen would know about it.Aspen kicked Ruddy hard. "I already looked into everything there is to know about you. You'll do exactly what I tell you. If you stir up any trouble, I'll make sure your whole family is ruined! Get lost, you hillbilly!"Sure enough, Ruddy was beaten up again and tossed to the side of the road.His head started bleeding again, and Ruddy sobbed uncontrollably. He found his phone, which already had a shattered screen, and called Bailey.After Ruddy had gotten thrown out of the Hartford residence, the West family was thrown into chaos.Dustin dropped to his knees in front of Summer and Kristen. "I'm scum! I really am!""Dustin, don't do this! I know what kind of person you are. If

Five million dollars. It was five million dollars.Ruddy's eyes were practically glued to the card.Aspen gave Malcolm an impatient look, and Malcolm handed the pen and paper to Ruddy.Ruddy was taken aback when he saw the pen and paper. "Aren't you supposed to write it, and I just sign it?""It would be better if you wrote it yourself," Malcolm said.Ruddy looked embarrassed. "But I don't know how to write?"Aspen finally lost his patience. He slammed the table and stood up. "What? You're illiterate?""What are you yelling at me for? When did I say I could write? I'm doing you a favor by agreeing to this, and this is how you treat me?" Ruddy didn't care that Aspen was rich at that moment.Aspen was begging him for help, so why should Ruddy tolerate Aspen?"Stop arguing." Malcolm was getting a headache. He never imagined that Ruddy would be illiterate."Fine. I'll have someone print out the content. You can just copy it, right?" Malcolm just wanted this done as quickly as pos

Malcolm looked disgusted. "Got it. We'll get back to you soon."Then, he hung up. "Bastard!" Aspen slammed his hand on the table hard.Malcolm said grimly, "I told you before Paul didn't have many relatives. His parents are both gone, and other than his wife and children, there's only his brother left. The Hartford family is watching the West family closely. "No one answered when I called, so I had to try this guy. Who knew he'd be this stupid?""Is a letter of forgiveness from his biological brother useful?" Aspen asked.Malcolm frowned. "It has some value, but it wouldn't nearly be as effective as getting it from the wife or children.""I don't care. Even getting one is something. Offer him three million dollars." Aspen felt a headache coming on.Malcolm hesitated for a moment. "You really want to pay him? This thug has never treated his brother well before. If the family mentions that in court, this three million dollars might as well go down the drain.""Get that letter

"Go ahead." Summer showed no intention of stopping him.Ruddy was stunned. "I'm not joking around. I really will go."Summer didn't seem to care at all. "Go ahead. Also, you were talking so much about inheritance just now. What inheritance? Since when did this ten million dollars count as inheritance?"Ruddy said smugly, "It's still compensation! I get a share either way! I know the law, Ms. Hartford."Summer nodded. "Seems like you got it wrong. This money isn't for Paul.""Don't try to fool me!" Ruddy frowned.Summer turned to gently soothe the baby, who was still sobbing. "Hey little cutie, you shouldn't cry anymore. I gave you a ten-million-dollar gift, and you're still upset? Come on, give me a smile."Everyone widened their eyes in shock."What ten-million-dollar gift? What are you talking about?" Ruddy tried to grab Summer, but Robin stopped him.Summer held the baby's tiny hand. "My grandfather already gave the funeral expenses to Mrs. West. I'm only giving the ten mil

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
