"What happened after that?" Summer asked."It looks like Mr. Sutton's mother wanted to bring the baby over to continue causing trouble, but his mother-in-law wasn't going to allow it," Lindsey continued."I see." Summer nodded.In the end, one's mother would always have her daughter's best interests at heart."How can that old lady be so awful? Why hasn't she been arrested yet?" Lindsey muttered.Summer didn't answer her, and Lindsey didn't continue, either. Instead, Lindsey quickly packed up her textbooks and moved to sit beside Summer.…During their break, news of Summer moving into the dormitories quickly spread throughout the school.Somehow, by the end of the day, more and more people decided they wanted to stay at the dormitories to focus on the SATs.After school, Summer carried her things and headed toward the dormitory. Halfway there, Chandler appeared beside her."Why are you following me?" she asked bluntly."I'm not following you. I'm staying in the dorms, too,"

Even if the Hartford family never mentioned the connection between Rose and Terry, the investigation still eventually led back to Rose.After Rose was kicked out of the Hartford family, she used the little money she had left to rent an apartment.Terry had ruthlessly beaten her up that day. Her bruises on her face hadn't yet fully faded."Ms. Sanderson, we've discovered that you helped the deceased pay off a large gambling debt," the officers said.Rose's face was full of shock. "How could he be dead? When I lent him that money, he promised me he would turn over a new leaf and never gamble again."The two officers exchanged glances. "There's no need to panic. Just answer our questions. Did you lend him that money? That was no small sum. Are you very familiar with him?"Rose lowered her gaze and looked nervous. "He was just a gardener my family hired—a temporary worker. I met him once or twice, so we're not very familiar with each other.""Did he force you to give him that money?

"So, this is the expert you were talking about?" Summer asked.Lionel quickly nodded. "That's right. Saul was the one who did the marketing for that interstellar game last year.""I didn't expect you to be good at this despite your mediocre coding skills." Summer raised an eyebrow slightly.Lionel was taken aback and hurried to explain, "Hey, miss, Saul is…"Saul calmly interrupted him, "My skills aren't great, so if you're willing to teach me, I can give you a discount. How about 30% off?"Lionel blinked at Saul in confusion.What the hell? The big bad wolf was hiding and pretending to be a puppy just to get close to this little fox?Oh, men!"You haven't even seen my work, and you've already decided to take my project?" Summer crossed her arms, showing no excitement over the discount. Instead, she was incredibly cautious."I already saw what you're capable of last time. Besides, didn't Lionel already review your work? He's got a sharp eye. If your design wasn't good, he woul

The apartment Summer bought wasn't the sort of a dozen units per floor. There were only two units on one floor.When she purchased the place, she had confirmed that the unit across from hers was an investor and had not been occupied in years.So, what was happening now? She had just bought this unit, and the one across from her was sold, too?"Are you the neighbor?" one of the movers greeted her.Summer nodded. "Yes. Did you just move in?""We don't actually live here. My boss owns a renovation company. He bought this unit as a model home to show clients occasionally," that person answered.Summer nodded before she opened the door and entered. There wasn't much noise outside, so she wouldn't be disturbed.She took out the chestnut cake and opened her computer. After she stretched her neck and fingers, she recalled the key points from her discussion with Saul.After that, she quickly drafted a plan for the revision.Summer loved chestnut cake, but if it wasn't made right, it wo

After pausing for a moment, Summer handed the document back to Henry. "For example, if the person you assigned to investigate this incident was problematic, then how much of this report can be trusted?"Henry was momentarily stunned before he chuckled. "Summer, the person who handled this has been with me for more than ten years."Summer calmly looked at Henry, not arguing with his words.Under her gaze, Henry's smile gradually faded.There was no way he didn't understand what Summer said earlier. Anyone could be a traitor.Henry nodded. "I understand. I'll have Luke look into this again.""Since he's someone close to you, let Dad investigate it quietly," Summer added."Alright," Henry replied.Summer did not dwell on it any longer.The person who wrote this report was, in fact, one of the trusted aides who betrayed Henry back then. This sudden internal unrest in the company was definitely related to those two. Since they hadn't realized anything was off yet, it was the perfec
