Chapter 431

Summer didn't have much of an expression on her face as she walked down slowly.But Phoebe explained anxiously, "Let's not even talk about whether the ten million dollars is real or not. Ruddy, that's your brother's life! Are you really going to be the kind of person to take money in exchange for his life?""What's it got to do with you? You're already siding with this family anyway!" Ruddy glared at the lavish interior of the Hartford residence. "Just look at this place. Is this how you all make your money?"Ruddy's last sentence had been aimed at Kristen, it was obvious he knew that Kristen was the lady of the house.Summer walked over to Kristen and said, "Mr. West, what's the rush? You didn't even bother with basic manners before coming in, and you started shouting the moment you entered. Don't you think that's a bit out of line?"She looked at Bailey's arm and saw that her wrist was red from being grabbed too hard. "Why don't you let go of Mrs. West's hand first? Her wrist is

Bailey had never been one to make decisions.Her two sons had their own difficulties as well. They didn't want to betray the truth behind Paul's death, but Ruddy had a point. Pauh was gone, and the living had to carry on."Ms. Hartford, my uncle is right. This is a family matter. I think we should handle it ourselves," the eldest son, Dustin West, said with great difficulty.Bailey looked at him in shock, then lowered her head silently."I understand. We all have our own burdens." Summer didn't blame him.Only those who had truly suffered understood how hard it was to make choices in the midst of hardship."Come on, let's go! The lawyer's still waiting. As long as we sign the letter, that ten million dollars is ours!" Ruddy urged eagerly."Bailey, you really need to think this through! You're doing Paul so wrong here!" Phoebe felt like crying.Summer said, "If it's for the money, you don't need to leave. Paul died because of me, so I was planning on compensating you anyway.""

Summer added, "Another example. You happily get home and reach your building when suddenly, some lunatic jumps out of nowhere with a knife. He slashes through everyone, not leaving a single one of you left."She shrugged. "Or maybe you make it home safe. But in the middle of the night, when everyone's sound asleep, there's a gas leak. Or better yet, a fire. Everything's gone in a blaze, just like that. Stories like that pop up among rich families all the time. You can give it a shot if you don't believe me.""Quit trying to scare me! I'm fearless!" Ruddy thumped his chest."Paul was a good man who had been nice to my whole family. Ten million dollars is no small sum. I believe I've shown more than enough sincerity. As for what you choose, I won't interfere," Summer said calmly as she motioned for someone to open the door.Seeing this, Ruddy rushed forward and pulled his relatives to leave. "Come on. Let's go first. We'll talk about it among ourselves later.""If you want to leave,

"Go ahead." Summer showed no intention of stopping him.Ruddy was stunned. "I'm not joking around. I really will go."Summer didn't seem to care at all. "Go ahead. Also, you were talking so much about inheritance just now. What inheritance? Since when did this ten million dollars count as inheritance?"Ruddy said smugly, "It's still compensation! I get a share either way! I know the law, Ms. Hartford."Summer nodded. "Seems like you got it wrong. This money isn't for Paul.""Don't try to fool me!" Ruddy frowned.Summer turned to gently soothe the baby, who was still sobbing. "Hey little cutie, you shouldn't cry anymore. I gave you a ten-million-dollar gift, and you're still upset? Come on, give me a smile."Everyone widened their eyes in shock."What ten-million-dollar gift? What are you talking about?" Ruddy tried to grab Summer, but Robin stopped him.Summer held the baby's tiny hand. "My grandfather already gave the funeral expenses to Mrs. West. I'm only giving the ten mil

Malcolm looked disgusted. "Got it. We'll get back to you soon."Then, he hung up. "Bastard!" Aspen slammed his hand on the table hard.Malcolm said grimly, "I told you before Paul didn't have many relatives. His parents are both gone, and other than his wife and children, there's only his brother left. The Hartford family is watching the West family closely. "No one answered when I called, so I had to try this guy. Who knew he'd be this stupid?""Is a letter of forgiveness from his biological brother useful?" Aspen asked.Malcolm frowned. "It has some value, but it wouldn't nearly be as effective as getting it from the wife or children.""I don't care. Even getting one is something. Offer him three million dollars." Aspen felt a headache coming on.Malcolm hesitated for a moment. "You really want to pay him? This thug has never treated his brother well before. If the family mentions that in court, this three million dollars might as well go down the drain.""Get that letter

Five million dollars. It was five million dollars.Ruddy's eyes were practically glued to the card.Aspen gave Malcolm an impatient look, and Malcolm handed the pen and paper to Ruddy.Ruddy was taken aback when he saw the pen and paper. "Aren't you supposed to write it, and I just sign it?""It would be better if you wrote it yourself," Malcolm said.Ruddy looked embarrassed. "But I don't know how to write?"Aspen finally lost his patience. He slammed the table and stood up. "What? You're illiterate?""What are you yelling at me for? When did I say I could write? I'm doing you a favor by agreeing to this, and this is how you treat me?" Ruddy didn't care that Aspen was rich at that moment.Aspen was begging him for help, so why should Ruddy tolerate Aspen?"Stop arguing." Malcolm was getting a headache. He never imagined that Ruddy would be illiterate."Fine. I'll have someone print out the content. You can just copy it, right?" Malcolm just wanted this done as quickly as pos

Ruddy's face went pale in an instant.Those twin boys were the children he'd had a few years ago with a young woman. After that, he got tired of providing for the family and broke up with her. Hardly anyone knew about it. He hadn't even told his family.He never imagined that Aspen would know about it.Aspen kicked Ruddy hard. "I already looked into everything there is to know about you. You'll do exactly what I tell you. If you stir up any trouble, I'll make sure your whole family is ruined! Get lost, you hillbilly!"Sure enough, Ruddy was beaten up again and tossed to the side of the road.His head started bleeding again, and Ruddy sobbed uncontrollably. He found his phone, which already had a shattered screen, and called Bailey.After Ruddy had gotten thrown out of the Hartford residence, the West family was thrown into chaos.Dustin dropped to his knees in front of Summer and Kristen. "I'm scum! I really am!""Dustin, don't do this! I know what kind of person you are. If

Naturally, Phoebe was referring to Mason.Summer chuckled. "You know what kind of mess the Hunt family is in. If Ruddy is polite when he gets there, maybe he'll be fine. But if not, he's in for a beating."Phoebe looked baffled. "What's he going there for anyway? Can an illiterate write out a letter?"Summer was taken aback. "He can't read?"Phoebe said, "That's right. Even writing his own name is a struggle. We actually started school together as kids, but he attended for a day and never came back."Back then, a brick factory had been established in their village. The pay was based on how many bricks one moved.The West family was always broke, so when Ruddy heard that there was money to be made, he quit school and ran off to haul bricks.At first, he did make some cash, but he blew it all by strutting around town like a big shot.Later, when the factory stopped making money, he was already too old to go back to school. So, he went south with a relative to find work.Summer s

At dinner time, the West family had finally calmed down.Summer had quickly arranged for a professional financial manager to divide and manage the ten million dollars on their behalf."Mrs. West, take a look at this. Ten million dollars is no small sum. I was worried that if you took the whole amount home, it might attract trouble. So, I asked a financial manager to prepare a plan." Summer handed her a copy of the financial plan.She said, "You won't receive the money all at once, but you'll have more than enough for your monthly expenses. The child's education is budgeted with the best resources as well."Bailey looked at it and said, "Ms. Hartford, I know you won't harm us. We don't understand any of this anyway, so whatever you arrange for us is fine."Summer said casually, "Alright! Oh, Dustin, after the funeral, you should stay a few more days. My parents found a top-notch specialist for you. We'll take you for a full-body checkup and get a proper treatment plan going."Bail

Summer said coolly, "We don't have to do anything. Ruddy has never been kind to your family. It's not like the letter of forgiveness will be accepted by the court just because he wrote it. The money the Hunt family spent is basically going to go down the drain.""That's good," Phoebe let out a sigh of relief.Just then, Ruddy called again, and Bailey ignored it this time.…After dinner, Summer was in her room editing her script when Mason called.Henry had come home early that night and was chatting with Dustin and Dean downstairs.Summer quietly snuck downstairs. Just as she was about to slip out, Kristen caught her.Seeing how sneakily she was acting, Kristen knew she was going to see Mason. There was no way she would need to act like this if she was just going on a normal walk.Summer shot Kristen a pleading expression.Kristen had no choice but to be Summer's human shield, sending Summer out the front door."Hurry back!" Kristen said."He's busy and just happened to be
