Unable to bear it any longer, Summer slapped her forehead and berated herself for her stupidity. If James hadn't called her, she could have called him.She grabbed her phone and quickly dialed his number. Luckily, it connected."James? Where are you? Why haven't you come home? I've been so worried," Summer asked urgently, firing off questions in rapid succession.However, there was no response. The silence was unsettling, making Summer feel fearful and worried."Are you okay, James? Why aren't you speaking?" Summer asked.Still, no response came from the other end, as if no one was there at all."Please don't scare me, James. Can you say something? What happened?" Summer continued, her anxiety mounting with each passing second.She was genuinely scared as this had never happened before. James answered her call but said nothing, leaving her feeling like she was talking to a ghost. However, the glowing screen confirmed Summer was connected to James.After a long while, the call e

Instead of confronting James about meeting Suzanne, Summer said, "What did you lie about? Tell me.""Yesterday, I canceled our plans because my mother wanted me to return to the Quigley residence to discuss a business deal. The person I met was Suzanne."Summer felt a chill in her heart; Keith was right—James had met with Suzanne.However, Summer didn't get angry as James was honest with her and didn’t hide anything. She trusted that he would never betray her.Even though he met with Suzanne, it was for business or perhaps because of Caroline's pressure.Summer wasn't oblivious. She had heard rumors that Caroline was very fond of Suzanne; she was trying to match her with James. It was likely Caroline's idea for James to cancel their date and meet with Suzanne instead."I understand, James. I trust you," Summer said gently, moving closer and resting her head on his shoulder. "I trust you. You're my husband, and I believe everything you say." Love was built on trust. Even without

After the situation was resolved, Summer still had other matters to attend to. The issue involving Keith and Monica was escalating. Although the heir position was the Ritter family's internal matter, Summer had promised to assist Keith, and she felt compelled to follow through.After a week, James' health improved, allowing him to resume his regular work schedule. On a sunny afternoon, James arrived at Charter Corporation to pick Summer up after work.While on the road, Summer filled James in about Keith's precarious situation and her commitment to helping him secure his position as heir.Despite his efforts to stay composed, James was taken aback. "Summie, why did you agree to help with something like this?""Because I believe Keith is a good person. Moreover, he will not disrupt our relationship if I help him, and it could help me find a suitable match for my friend," Summer replied.If Summer could successfully match Keith with Kelly, it would resolve a lot of problems.James

As she ascended the steps, Summer noticed the small path laid with marble stones leading into the courtyard, where a serene and beautiful garden landscape unfolded. There was even a pond and a pavilion, indicating that the Ritter residence had been meticulously preserved."Keith, when was this family mansion of yours built? It looks incredibly old," Summer asked, intrigued. Compared to the Quigley residence, which was a flat-roofed building from an earlier era, the Ritter residence seemed even more ancient. The Ritter residence exuded an aura of antiquity, its imposing architecture conveying a sense of history and weight that was palpable as soon as she stepped inside. The atmosphere was almost overwhelming.Keith glanced at Summer with a cold expression. "This house is about four hundred years old. It was built by our ancestors a long time ago.""Four hundred years," Summer murmured, her mouth slightly agape. She hadn't expected the mansion to have such a long history. While

Summer took a step forward, masking her growing anxiety with a calm demeanor. "Your father said that Keith's feelings for me are against the Ritter family's code of conduct. Given Keith's recent indiscretions toward me, he hoped I could serve as a witness and confront Keith directly."Despite Summer's serious tone, Monica remained skeptical. Though she appeared to be a sweet, innocent girl, her outward appearance belied her true nature. As a Ritter family heiress, she was anything but simple.Monica scoffed and said, "Summer, whether or not what you're saying is true, you need to leave."The family meeting was meant to judge Keith's alleged misdeeds. Even if York did invite Summer, her presence here could create complications. Monica needed concrete evidence to prove Keith's feelings for Summer. His romantic interest in a married woman would make him unfit to be the heir. It was only then that she could officially displace him."Summer, please leave. I must be honest with you;
