The bodyguards took several slaps from that old lady."Are you Mr. Sutton's family?" Summer looked at the pregnant woman."Yes, I'm his wife!" the woman, Amelia Rand, answered loudly. "Everyone, my husband was a teacher at this elite school. He worked here for over ten years and was always diligent and responsible. Two days ago, she suspected this rich girl of cheating and was arrested that very night!"She continued, "Now, they're piling a bunch of false charges on him to ruin his life! Just look. I'm pregnant, and we have two children at home. My mother and mother-in-law are old and in poor health."My husband was the sole provider of the family. Isn't it a death sentence for us if she throws my husband in jail?"The old woman who had just slapped the towering bodyguards, Velma Harp, clutched her forehead and plopped onto the ground with a dramatic thud when she heard that.Summer was dumbfounded."Mrs. Sutton." She calmly stepped forward, showing no trace of anxiety or anger.

Getting a pregnant woman who was about to give birth to run into the street to block a car—clearly, none of them had any sense."Are you her mother?" Summer looked at Lorraine."If anything happens to my daughter, I'll fight you to the death!" Lorraine shouted."She'll be perfectly fine if she goes to the hospital right now. But if you keep making her stand here, she'll suffer. If you're lucky, the baby will be born right on the roadside. If you're not…" Summer let her words hang.Lorraine paled."Stop trying to scare us! Solve our problem first, and I'll take my daughter-in-law to the hospital!" Velma shouted."You really are a vicious mother-in-law. Do you not care just because she's not your biological daughter? Your son ruined his own life, and now, you're using your daughter-in-law, who's about to give birth, to bargain with me? Does her life mean nothing to you?" Summer asked.Velma folded her arms, thinking that Summer was starting to waver. "You can say whatever you wa

Some headlines clearly sided with the Sutton family. "Rich Heiress Abuses Power!""Homeroom Teacher Wrongfully Arrested!""Widow and Orphan Cry at School Gates, Begging for Mercy!"Public opinion was overwhelmingly one-sided.Summer scrolled through the discussions. There were thousands of comments, but hardly anyone defended her. There were even those who compiled negative information about her.Kristen quickly called her.After Summer briefly explained the situation, Kristen let out a cold laugh. "That Mrs. Sutton was bowing and begging us when she was trying to apologize to us yesterday. Now, she just turns around and instigates a pregnant woman and another old lady to block your car at school? Incredible!""I guess it's true that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree," Summer said helplessly."Alright. I'll handle this. Trying to use public opinion against you? Has she forgotten what I do for a living?" Kristen hung up furiously after that.It was rare for Summer to s

"Phoebe, when is the garage surveillance usually inspected every month?" Summer asked.Phoebe replied, "It was just checked this morning. Why? Is there a problem with the surveillance?""Find someone to discreetly check it again. Be careful not to let anyone in the house find out," Summer said in a low voice.Phoebe nodded quickly. "Got it. I'll take care of it!"Summer nodded in response. Then, she returned to the house as usual.After everything that had happened recently, Henry and Luke were back to their busy schedules.Kristen was supposed to be busy, too, but after she learned about how much Summer had to silently endure under all these years, she pulled back from many of her engagements.She canceled most of the events and banquets that she had scheduled before Summer's SATs."Mom, I'm back," Summer greeted loudly as she changed her shoes at the entrance.Kristen took a moment before she came out, with a sour expression on her face."What happened?" Summer asked with a

Kristen hesitated for a moment before she looked at Luke. "Honey, let's not tell your dad about this."Luke naturally understood that Kristen didn't want to force Rose into a dead end.If Henry found out that Rose had tried to drug Summer, then there was no way he would let Rose off easily, even if the plan didn't succeed.""I understand," Luke said.That night, both the husband and wife were occupied with their own thoughts. They shared the same lingering question and unease about the night before Summer's birthday.If Rose really did drug Summer that night, then why was Summer completely fine in the end? Meanwhile, Rose was…The doubt continued to weigh on them.That night, neither of them slept well.…Before dawn, Rose called. Kristen answered the phone to hear her sobbing on the other end. "Aunt Kristen, are you really abandoning me?""Rose…" Kristen started."It's so high up here, Aunt Kristen. If I jump, will all the pain go away?" Rose cried out.Kristen jumped
