The sirens grew closer, and Velma started to panic. "Ms. Hartford, I just wanted to beg you to release my son! I had no ill intentions!"Summer pointed at the camera above them. "That's up to the police to decide. That thing recorded how you threw a fit and how you assaulted and humiliated my staff. What happens next will be up to what my employees want.""No, please!" Velma panicked even more.Summer ignored her and walked straight back toward the school.Velma reached out to grab Summer, but the bodyguards blocked her."Ms. Hartford, my niece-in-law told me that you're very sympathetic toward the weak. You even slapped her once over some poor students and their grandfather. Why is it that when it comes to me, you're bullying me instead of helping me?" Velma asked.Summer stopped in her tracks.She had thought that something was off from the start. The family had arrived right on time, and they seemed to know her car's license plate and charged at her without any hesitation.D

Some headlines clearly sided with the Sutton family. "Rich Heiress Abuses Power!""Homeroom Teacher Wrongfully Arrested!""Widow and Orphan Cry at School Gates, Begging for Mercy!"Public opinion was overwhelmingly one-sided.Summer scrolled through the discussions. There were thousands of comments, but hardly anyone defended her. There were even those who compiled negative information about her.Kristen quickly called her.After Summer briefly explained the situation, Kristen let out a cold laugh. "That Mrs. Sutton was bowing and begging us when she was trying to apologize to us yesterday. Now, she just turns around and instigates a pregnant woman and another old lady to block your car at school? Incredible!""I guess it's true that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree," Summer said helplessly."Alright. I'll handle this. Trying to use public opinion against you? Has she forgotten what I do for a living?" Kristen hung up furiously after that.It was rare for Summer to s

The car soon pulled up to Hartford residence. Just as Summer was about to enter the house, a figure suddenly rushed over.Robin's face completely darkened. "What's going on today? Why do people keep blocking the car?"Summer glanced out the window.A familiar face was leaning against the car window, trying to speak to her urgently.Summer was incredibly annoyed, but she still opened the door and walked out."Ms. Hartford, I just got a call from the police, so I came to see you immediately!" Said Carol, Annie's mother."What's the matter?" Summer asked."That old lady has dementia! You can't believe what she says. After the lecture I got from Mr. Hartford Senior yesterday, I've completely come to my senses. I regret everything I did, and I don't intend on doing anything else. I didn't ask her to do this," Carol said anxiously."Alright. Noted," Summer replied, turning to leave.Carol panicked. "Summer, your mother seems to have a misunderstanding about the situation. Can you…

"Phoebe, when is the garage surveillance usually inspected every month?" Summer asked.Phoebe replied, "It was just checked this morning. Why? Is there a problem with the surveillance?""Find someone to discreetly check it again. Be careful not to let anyone in the house find out," Summer said in a low voice.Phoebe nodded quickly. "Got it. I'll take care of it!"Summer nodded in response. Then, she returned to the house as usual.After everything that had happened recently, Henry and Luke were back to their busy schedules.Kristen was supposed to be busy, too, but after she learned about how much Summer had to silently endure under all these years, she pulled back from many of her engagements.She canceled most of the events and banquets that she had scheduled before Summer's SATs."Mom, I'm back," Summer greeted loudly as she changed her shoes at the entrance.Kristen took a moment before she came out, with a sour expression on her face."What happened?" Summer asked with a

Kristen took the phone and immediately froze."All the surveillance footage from that bar that night, including the alley cameras, is completely gone. I refuse to believe it wasn't deliberate! This video was taken by some playboy at the bar that night, and it clearly captured Rose spiking Summer's drink," Luke said seriously.After the video played through, Kristen was silent for a long time."If she really drugged Summer, then there's no way I'll protect her!" she said as she took out her phone, calling Rose right away.The call quickly connected.Before Rose could say anything, Kristen got straight to the point. "The night before Summer's birthday, what did you put into her drink at the bar?"Rose was silent for a while before she exclaimed in surprise and confusion, "Aunt Kristen, what are you talking about?"Kristen snapped, "Don't try to deny it. Someone filmed you spiking her drink that night. The video is in our hands. Rose, when did you become like this? Hasn't Summer tr
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 100
Kristen hesitated for a moment before she looked at Luke. "Honey, let's not tell your dad about this."Luke naturally understood that Kristen didn't want to force Rose into a dead end.If Henry found out that Rose had tried to drug Summer, then there was no way he would let Rose off easily, even if the plan didn't succeed.""I understand," Luke said.That night, both the husband and wife were occupied with their own thoughts. They shared the same lingering question and unease about the night before Summer's birthday.If Rose really did drug Summer that night, then why was Summer completely fine in the end? Meanwhile, Rose was…The doubt continued to weigh on them.That night, neither of them slept well.…Before dawn, Rose called. Kristen answered the phone to hear her sobbing on the other end. "Aunt Kristen, are you really abandoning me?""Rose…" Kristen started."It's so high up here, Aunt Kristen. If I jump, will all the pain go away?" Rose cried out.Kristen jumped

Henry's expression darkened.Before he could say anything, Summer was the first to ask, "Why are you here?"Rose started sobbing. "I made plans with Aunt Kristen and Uncle Luke to talk about my studies abroad, but I heard their car flipped in the mountains and exploded on the way here. How could this happen? Aunt Kristen was just talking to me this morning. How could something like this happen?"Henry frowned. "The car flipped and exploded in the mountains? Who told you that?"Rose cried as she said, "They called me before the accident and said they were on the mountain road. I checked the license plate that was released online, and it was Aunt Kristen and Uncle Luke's car. Mr. Hartford Senior, please stay strong!"Henry's eyes widened with rage as he roared furiously, "Nonsense!" If Rose weren't a young lady, he would have slapped her on the face."Mr. Hartford Senior, it's true!" Rose insisted between her sobs."Are you sure?" Summer asked again."I'm certain!" Rose said, f

Rose stared at Luke. "I'm the one who's vicious? Uncle Luke, you can't just throw baseless accusations at me just because you want to protect Summer after she found someone to ruin me. I have no idea what this broken car you're talking about is. What do your car's issues have to do with me?""You got someone to sabotage the car!" Luke shouted furiously.This morning, when he and Kristen were about to rush out, they were stopped at the garage by Phoebe.Initially, the two of them had insisted on leaving. It was only when Summer came downstairs and intercepted them that they learned that their car had been tinkered with."The surveillance cameras in the garage have been tampered with," Summer said lazily.Rose rolled her eyes and laughed. "So, you don't have any evidence? I'd always treated you as my family since you raised me for years. Since you're going to cover for Summer so shamelessly, let's just lay everything on the table today!"With this mess, there was no way Rose would

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
