Semua Bab The President's Darling: Bab 241 - Bab 250

When one of the stray dogs had noticed Howe and Susanne, it had bared its canines and leaped over to them after letting out several loud barks. They had been in an extremely dangerous situation. When Howe saw that, he had immediately turned to run away out of fear. But Susanne had tugged at a corner of his shirt and sobbed, "Howe, I'm scared!""Let go! I'm scared too! I'm terrified!" Howe had been so scared that he had wrenched Susanne's hand off his shirt without further contemplation. However, she'd had a vise-like grip on his shirt, so Howe had had no choice but to push her away to free himself.Susanne had stumbled and fallen into the mud. It had given Howe the perfect opportunity to escape, so he had fled without so much as a backward glance. Susanne's cries had echoed through the woods as the stray dog had lunged at her. It looked rabid and had a bloody stench. The look in its eyes had been feral, and its fur had been a matted mess. So when Susanne had seen it, sh

The housekeepers were actually happy with the arrangement. After all, Summer was doing their job for them, so they had a lot more free time to themselves. After cleaning for about an hour, Summer felt like she couldn't even straighten up anymore. She could be considered quite a pampered person with a relatively wealthy background, and she had never had to do any hard labor. It was only natural that her body couldn't take such vigorous work.Lexi could only watch from the side since she had received orders from Luca that she couldn't help Summer. She couldn't help but worry about Summer. "Mrs. Quigley, you should take a break if you're tired. Madam Caroline never specified when you needed to be done with the chores.""I can sleep earlier if I finish my job earlier."Summer was already worn out by the flower arrangement class, so she wanted to go to bed earlier if possible. She wondered how long she would continue to have such a busy schedule. These days, she felt as though sh

Caroline immediately became anxious. She took a step forward and asked, "What are you doing, James? W-Why are you wiping the staircase without any reason?"It was strange. James was no ordinary man. He was the successor of the Quigley family and the president of Quigley Group. He was a king in the office who could decide where billions of dollars would go just by signing a contract. How could he do work that belonged to the lower class?Caroline stopped James. "What are you doing, James? Put that down and go back for some rest.""Why?""Do I need to say it out loud? You're not supposed to do this work!"James retaliated with another question. "If I'm not supposed to, then is Summer supposed to?"Caroline understood now. James wanted to stand up for Summer after she had punished the latter. James couldn't retaliate verbally, so he was proving that he wanted to shoulder the punishment along with Summer with his actions.That made Caroline speechless. Her goal was to punish Sum

James' help would be ideal. Charter Corporation wasn't really in a good situation at the moment, and selling that building would surely be beneficial to the future of the company. However, Summer didn't want to owe James any favors. "We have our own ways of expanding the company, James. Your help would be nice, but I think—""I'm not helping you without any reason," James interrupted Summer. "It would be more accurate to say that I'm helping Charter Corporation as a form of compensation."Summer didn't understand that. What did he have to compensate for? When she asked James, he answered, "I learned about how my mom used the Quigleys' influence to have the authorities inspect Charter Corporation. I feel very guilty, so this land purchase is compensation for that.""So that's why." After he brought the incident up, it surfaced in Summer's memory. Caroline had had the authorities inspect Charter Group just to intimidate her. She'd been really worried about it.So, that was why

In the end, Summer had no other choice but to comply. But she wasn't going to do that without contesting. Moreover, she was a quick-witted woman. So, she took the opportunity to go to the washroom. When she was there, she made a call to James to explain her predicament to him. "This is bad, James. You should come back quickly. Your mother wants me to take me for a pregnancy check-up!" Summer spoke with urgency. In fact, she should have informed James about this last night. Unfortunately, she had forgotten about it.She briefed him frantically over the phone. She wasn't even sure if he had managed to catch everything she'd said. James' reaction was surprisingly calm. He answered coldly, "Okay. I'll make my way back now. I'll leave it to you to stall Mom for now." He hung up immediately after, without any hesitation. But that triggered Summer. He had asked her to stall Caroline. Would that even be possible? Caroline's very presence made Summer feel extremely uneasy.Finding
