Just then, Anthony's room door was pushed open. He immediately locked his phone and turned to give Rose a displeased look. "Don't you know how to knock?""Summer must've discovered something!" Rose's mind was filled with thoughts of Summer acting so out of character that she didn't notice the scornful look on Anthony's face.Anthony tensed at her words. "What do you mean by that? Did she say anything to you?""Can't you tell she's like a different person? She seems to be avoiding us, too. Look at how she stopped her home tutoring without a word—she's not even returning to the manor now!" Rose growled."She's not returning tonight?" Anthony frowned. He'd learned about Summer's preferences from Rose and already had a plan. He wanted to orchestrate an encounter with Summer that night and use her likes and dislikes to slowly get to know her better. Yet now, she wasn't even returning home!"Our plan is ruined if she's really noticed anything!" Rose snarled."That might not necessari

Terrence frowned slightly. "What's wrong with you?""I didn't manage to track X's IP address. I only know the general region she's in!" Fred was starting to doubt his capabilities."Where is she?" Terrence and Saul asked simultaneously."Shorewall City!"The three exchanged looks. Then, Terrence chuckled. "What a small world, huh? Looks like we all share the same hometown!"Saul and Fred looked at him wordlessly. The three of them were from affluent families and had delicate statuses in their respective families. That was why they'd been sent abroad since childhood. It was hard to believe Terrence had talked about them sharing the same hometown as X when they didn't even return to Shorewall City annually."Saul and I are bound for a trip back soon, so we might have the chance to run into this adorable run-of-the-mill computer genius." Terrence seemed particularly interested in X.Saul's smile slowly faded upon hearing Terrence's words, though. It was evident he didn't want t

Mason had already watched the video countless times since it'd been released. There was no doubt that the change Summer had shown was stunning, whether in terms of her appearance or personality.He wasn't surprised, though. She'd always been full of ideas and strength, even as a child. He just didn't know what had happened to make her change in recent years.Since running into her in the alley behind the street of bars that night, it had unlocked a door buried deep within his heart. Every day, he would think of various reasons to see her. However, none of them mattered when it came to the sole reason he couldn't see her.He was currently walking the gangplank, and danger lurked everywhere in his life. He couldn't let anyone know his weak spot was hidden within the Hartford family. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the only one in danger. Summer would be, too.The atmosphere around Mason turned gloomy. The incident at the street of bars had to be concealing some sort of danger that was harm

Rose's smugness instantly disappeared. She'd originally imagined Kristen siding with her and going after Summer to berate her for everything. How could… How could Kristen say something like that?Still, she said, "Okay.""Your Uncle Luke has been looking into the matter, so you don't need to worry about anything. We won't let the people who hurt you off the hook," Kristen promised.Rose was so furious that she almost exploded. What was up with this bullshit investigation? She could find the pieces of trash herself. She didn't need the Hartfords to do it for her!The fact that Kristen had told her to keep the incident a secret made it clear that she had her doubts. Yet she was choosing to side with Summer.As expected, all of the Hartfords were equally evil. She wouldn't let any of them off the hook! She would make all of them pay!…Summer went to school as usual the following day. Everyone, from the teachers to the students, treated her cautiously. After all, she'd changed too

When Summer arrived outside the principal's office, she heard a woman's furious roar. "I know my daughter—she's been a prim and proper lady since childhood. This little witch must've done something truly horrible to push her to such extremes!""I didn't…" Lindsey said tearfully. This was followed by the crisp sound of a slap."You shouldn't get violent, Mrs. Sutton!" This was from the principal, Harold Green.Summer knocked on the door, making everyone inside turn to look at her. Though Harold had advised Annie's mother, Carol Bolton, against violence, he hadn't done anything to stop her. In fact, he seemed to be on his guard against Lindsey and her grandmother.Lindsey's grandmother was a skinny, petite woman. She held Lindsey while sobbing—it was a heartbreaking sight."What are you doing here, Summer?" Harold's expression softened a little."I'm here to return Lindsey's notes." Summer approached Lindsey and returned the notebook. "I'm done reading this. It was very helpful,
