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?"

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

Mason lived every day of his life like he was on the battlefield. There was no way he had time to think about anything else.Summer responded, "Alright, then! Just head toward my place. There's a nice little pasta shop on the way."She had eaten there once when she was very young. It was one of the few affordable meals she had ever had."Okay." Mason didn't even know what sort of pasta they served there, but he was willing to try something that Summer liked.As the car moved forward, Summer switched on her computer. She quickly plugged in another USB drive she had prepared in advance and embedded the picture of the sports car she had just taken to an IP address. After that, she let out a deep breath as she shut down the computer.Mason watched everything but didn't ask any questions. Summer had no intention of explaining herself, either.After half an hour, the two of them arrived at the pasta shop.It was raining, so the place was quite packed. Summer glanced inside and hesitat

Mason's expression turned slightly colder. Then, he pushed the box of pasta toward Summer.He replied calmly, "I'm not too sure. It was probably one of my uncle's people."Summer felt her heart stop.Even though she had known for a long time that Mason's family was eager to get rid of him, hearing him say it himself felt different."Why?" she asked with some hesitation.Why did they want to kill him? After all, since Mason took over the company, he had only made it stronger and more profitable.Mason responded, "I never asked. It's probably for money."Summer pursed her lips and didn't continue the topic. "Try it and see if it's good."Mason took a mouthful.He had never had something like this before. It took a while for him to fully understand the taste, but he still nodded immediately. "It's really good.""Then, have some more! There are other snacks, too," Summer offered enthusiastically.Mason lowered his gaze and ate slowly.Meanwhile, Summer had a foxy, cunning smile

"A young lady?" Terrence finally cracked a smile."Yeah! A young lady, and she looked stunning. Small nose, big eyes, and a killer figure!" the man said.Hearing about a beautiful woman made Terrence happy.He simply took out all the cash from his wallet and slapped it down in front of the man. "Check all your accounts. You've probably been infected with a virus. This is your compensation."After Terrence said that, he left the dumbfounded man behind.The man stood there for a moment and tried to process what happened. Then, he cursed under his breath and immediately logged out of his account to start a virus scan.The man scratched his head. "How did she do it?""Did you hear that? She's a beautiful young lady!" Terrence said happily to Fred when they got in the car."So, gorgeous female hackers actually exist?" Fred wondered, completely stunned.Terrence ignored him and headed straight for the second IP address.However, as he drove, the surroundings became more and more ba

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

"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
