Semua Bab The President's Darling: Bab 261 - Bab 270

It was a convenient lie to come up with. After all, many young women often fawned over James, so it sounded realistic. Susanne immediately became furious when she heard Summer's words. Clenching her fists, she demanded, "Who tried to make a move on James?""I'm not sure about that. I just heard the news from Charlie.""Those bitches must be trying to seduce James! Summer, you have to keep an eye on him. James is a great guy. He can't be seduced by other women!" Susanne exclaimed angrily. She was behaving as if she were James' wife. In truth, Summer wouldn't have had much of a reaction, even if other women really were trying to seduce James. After all, she knew that he wasn't interested in women, apart from her. Moreover, if someone managed to seduce James successfully, she would just accept it. After all, love should be reciprocal. If James didn't love her, they could just divorce. Summer wouldn't force him to stay. She was pretty open-minded about it. But she could rath

There were two small wounds on Susanne's ankle. She had been bitten by a snake! Blood flowed down her ankle and dripped onto the floor. Its scent filled the air. Even though Susanne looked very brave and hadn't screamed despite being bitten by a snake, her face was tensed up in pain. Summer was extremely afraid. Many snakes were crawling toward them. If she couldn't escape with Susanne, they would be doomed. In truth, Susanne was also very scared. She could only move with one foot and was unable to run. She held Summer's hand tightly and muttered, "Don't abandon me."She recalled what had happened 15 years ago. She and Howe had gone into the forest for an adventure, but they had encountered a group of stray dogs. Howe had abandoned her and run away by himself. Now, she was afraid that Summer would abandon her too. Yet Summer didn't do that. Instead, she carried Susanne on her back and said, "Don't worry. No matter what happens, I won't abandon you."Then, she ran with a

Howe blamed Summer before she could do so first. It was obviously a part of his plan. She wouldn't have brought Susanne to the forest if he hadn't asked her to. Summer wanted to retort, but Caroline spoke up. "Summer, haven't you learned from your mistakes after your previous punishment? You brought Susanne out without telling me. If something bad happens to her, what are we going to do?"Herbert, who was beside her, said, "Yes. How could you bring my daughter out on a whim? Also, where's she?"The Quigleys were all there, including Norman and Caroline. It seemed that Howe had planned all of this beforehand. Without him, the other Quigleys wouldn't have shown up at the forest. This was the first time that Summer had fallen for such a serious trick. It seemed that his plan wasn't just to make Susanne leave the Quigley residence. He had other motives as well. Summer couldn't care about that anymore because Susanne had been poisoned by snake venom. As such, she immediately told

Since Caroline had said that she would settle the issue with Summer the next day, it meant that the latter would face a confrontation then. It was terrifying to think about what the punishment would be. Would it be life-threatening? Summer was overwhelmed with thoughts. If she continued to overthink, she would go crazy. However, she hoped that everything would turn out for the best. She decided to deal with it one step at a time. Once Summer left Caroline's room, she saw Howe waiting outside for her. He leaned against the wall with a weird grin on his face. He was shameless enough to meet her again. Summer almost began scolding Howe, but he covered her mouth first. "Summer, let's discuss this calmly. If you start screaming now, other people will notice us."That sounded logical. As such, Summer pulled Howe to an empty room on the third floor. It was a guest room. Since it was empty, she could confront him there. "You bastard! Why did you set me up?" Summer rarely cursed.

Before Howe could say anything more, Summer had already left. The door slammed shut with a bang, leaving him alone in the room. The place was silent, and the moonlight was dim. Just then, Howe's smile faded. His expression turned to one of hatred. "Summer, you're rather clever. You didn't fall for my tricks, but that's fine." Howe sat down and crossed his arms. He continued muttering to himself, "Anyway, you'll leave this place one day. I won't let you be happy with him."…At the same time, Summer returned to the master bedroom on the third floor.Lexi was waiting outside the room for her. When she saw Summer, she hurriedly walked over. "Are you alright, Mrs. Quigley? I heard that you went to the forest and were attacked by snakes. Were you bitten?"Lexi was extremely anxious because she was Summer's personal bodyguard. She had failed to fulfill her duties, so she felt guilty. Yet, Summer didn't blame Lexi at all. After all, she had intentionally avoided the bodyguards whe
