Semua Bab The President's Darling: Bab 531 - Bab 540

The room fell silent. Time seemed to have frozen as everything came to a halt.Lexi noticed the strange tension inside and said quietly, "Mrs. Quigley, Mr. Quigley, I have things to do. You two talk first."Knowing that she shouldn't be there, Lexi swiftly left, leaving Summer and James alone in the room. Finally, they could clarify everything.Warm light illuminated the room, casting shadows of the glass lamps on the wall. Now facing each other, James finally spoke up. "Yes, it was me."James admitted it, which meant that the Quigley family had indeed been involved in the kidnapping and blood drawing case."How could this be?" Taking a step back, Summer fell onto the bed. Although she had mentally prepared herself, she couldn't help but sit down when she heard the truth come from his mouth.Seeing this, James stepped forward to comfort her. However, as he approached her, Summer waved her hand to stop him. "Don't come any closer. Stay away from me.""Summie.""We're not don

"Then, why did you say you felt indebted to me?""Because when your blood was drawn, it wasn't voluntary, so I owed you. But that doesn't mean that I married you without liking you."Pausing, he placed his hand on his heart. "I married you because I love you. I liked you from the moment I laid eyes on you. "Since then, I swore that no matter what, I would protect and cherish you, and I would never let you get hurt again."Summer met James' eyes. She could see the sparkling light in his eyes, and every word he spoke seemed genuine. But should she believe him? James was a very smart person; he planned everything meticulously. It was because he was so smart that Summer was terrified.Summer couldn't afford to lose any more. After she had been betrayed by Hank, she no longer believed in love. If even James' feelings for her were fake, Summer feared she would fall and not be able to get back up."James, please don't lie to me. When it comes to feelings, don't lie to me." Summer u

However, if she had been in a coma for half a month, it wasn't hard to understand James' idea of having constant companionship.Although Summer hadn't been conscious, James had been awake. He had spent half a month watching over her from the opposite hospital bed, so it wasn't strange that some feelings had developed.Thinking about it now, Summer couldn't help but complain that she was lucky to have survived being drugged for half a month. Wasn't that miraculous?Anesthesia suppressed the central nervous system, which, if used for a long time, could lead to paralysis. Furthermore, muscles could atrophy due to lack of movement. So, Summer felt lucky to have survived that ordeal."Your family is quite cruel, paralyzing me for half a month… James, let me tell you, now that I'm the Quigley family's daughter-in-law, you better treat me well.""Alright," James replied absent-mindedly. He had been talking about how he fell in love with Summer, but she had suddenly changed the subject,

Summer was looking forward to seeing how Caroline would apologize to her.After washing up, she went down the stairs and saw Caroline in the living room. The latter was holding a cup of tea and seemed to be enjoying her own leisure time, but her entire face darkened when she saw Summer.Perhaps it was because she knew that seeing Summer meant that she had to apologize. Hence, her expression turned so unpleasant."Mom." Summer greeted Caroline with a smile. "Do you have something to say to me?""Yes." Caroline's voice was stiff as she spat out the word. James had already filled her in that morning. Naturally, Caroline knew that Summer was already aware of what had happened back then. If she lied again now, it would be a futile attempt to conceal the truth.So, following James' instructions, she chose to apologize sincerely.Caroline said coldly, "I guess you already know what happened. Back then, I had no choice but to bring you there to save James. So, what happened back then

"Luca, we need to be cautious of Summer. It's best if we can drive her out." Finally, Caroline uttered these words. In fact, she had been considering this for a while, but this incident was the tipping point.Luca also had his concerns. "Madam, if you do that, I'm afraid Mr. Quigley won't agree.""If he doesn't agree, I still have my ways. I am in charge of this family, after all. As long as I torment Summer, I don't believe that she'd be able to stay here."Caroline had already thought about how she would deal with Summer next. Since James wouldn't divorce Summer on his own, Caroline would torment Summer until she agreed to divorce James.The naïve Summer hadn't anticipated the situation developing to this point. She thought that forgiving Caroline would lead to a peaceful and friendly life, but she didn't realize that this was just the calm before the storm.…In the luxurious living room of Ritter residence, Keith was leisurely reading the newspaper and sipping coffee.Th
