Simone choked out through tears, "Summie, I understand how you feel right now." It was bullshit! Summer knew Simone well. They were best friends after all. So, she knew, better than anyone else, that Simone was only putting up an act.However, what boggled Summer's mind was that Hank also knew Simone well! So, Summer had no idea how he would fall for someone like her!"I'm sorry, Summie …" Hank said apologetically with a shrug of his shoulders yet his hand remained steadfast on Simone's waist.His handsome face, which she had loved so much, was like a stranger's face to Summer right now. She composed herself. She refused to lose control right now."You don't have to apologize. If anything, it's my fault for being so stupid and loving someone like you …"Summer then grabbed her bag to leave. She was in a mess right now, and she couldn't stand dealing with either of them.Hank froze at Summer's words. There was a flash of anger in his eyes. However, before he could do anythi

Debbie's grin fell. "Breakup? My God! That bastard! So, not only did he steal the company's project bid and give it to a rival company, but he also broke up with you?" she screeched in disbelief.That was too much information in a single sentence. Summer's mind spun.Steal? Project bid? Did Hank …"You're saying that Hank did that?" Summer asked in shock."No way! Don't tell me you don't know about this!" Debbie said as she slammed a hand on the table. "There's no use acting coy now. Go ahead and take a look!" Debbie continued as she searched for the news on her computer. The Internet was buzzing with the news. Summer shoved Debbie lightly to the side to get a closer look.The headlines made Summer freeze."Family Company Facing Potential Bankruptcy!""Charter Corporation Faces a Hostile Takeover!""Charter Corporation in Hot Water!" "Risky Project Bid Gamble Lands Charter Corporation in Trouble!" Each headline was more outrageous than the last. Charter Corporation

At night, Summer had just taken a shower. With her hair still damp, she drew apart the curtains and slid the doors open to admire the view of Charter Estate.She recalled the emergency shareholder meeting she had attended just now as she held three percent of the Charter Corporation shares. Throughout the meeting, she clenched her pen tightly as she struggled to contain her emotions.Nearly half of the shares had been forcefully sold off. After the meeting had concluded, the finance report that was produced only served to support Fred's theories.Charter Corporation had been set up. Summer wondered if the horrors were only just beginning to start …When Summer came home, the thought of facing her mother made her nervous. Her mother, Amelia Lovelace, would've undoubtedly heard the news from Fred already. Amelia did not share Fred's optimism and resilience. She was unsurprisingly devastated by the news. However, she had managed to pull herself together enough to heed Fred's advice

Under the same starry night sky, Hank drove his brand new, black Cayenne to Charter Estate. He parked it in a secluded area that was just about 15 feet away.He had just gotten off the phone with Simone's dad. For some reason, he drove here on instinct.This secluded area was where he would park his car after he sent Summer home from their dates. The parking space had a perfect view of the balcony on the second floor. It would always light up before Summer would stick half her body out to wave goodbye at him.However, those days were in the past. Right now, Hank placed one hand on the steering wheel as he strummed his fingers idly.He glanced at the clock on the dashboard. It was now 11:15 pm, and the lights in Summer's room were still on like how they used to be. The only difference now was that he could no longer see her silhouette waving goodbye to him.Hank thought back to what had happened in his office in the afternoon and forced a bitter smile onto his face. She was rig

Summer walked to a secluded corner before she took a deep breath and picked up the phone."What do you want this time, Simone?" she asked mockingly without holding back.Simone's coquettish voice came from the other end of the phone. "Don't say that, Summie. We were best friends after all. You can't possibly give up on our friendship because of a man, right? "Oh, I'm calling to tell you that Hank and I have decided to get engaged on the 18th of this month. I've already sent out your invitation. You must come, alright?"Summer didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She had seen her fair share of shameless people but she had never seen anyone as shameless as Simone. Not only did Simone steal her boyfriend, but she even had the audacity to invite her to their engagement party! Summer was not mentally challenged. Otherwise, she would have thought that Simone was indeed her best friend from how affectionately she spoke over the phone."Congratulations on your engagement. I'm busy, so
