Semua Bab The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress: Bab 451 - Bab 460

The corner of Vincent's lips twitched. "Ms. Hartford, you sure are bold. You might be young, but you seem every bit as competent as your grandfather."Summer lowered her gaze. "I'm still far from my grandfather's level. Vincent, I didn't come here today to accuse you of anything. I'm just curious. You and Hartford Group have never had any real conflict, so I'd like to understand your intentions. Did I unknowingly offend you somehow?"Vincent didn't respond. Instead, he looked at Robin. "Does Mr. Hartford Senior know you're here today?"Robin replied, "Ms. Hartford didn't want to make a big deal out of it. She believes that this is a matter between you and her. If the two of you can resolve it, there's no need to involve anyone else."Vincent looked slightly stunned.He hadn't expected that answer, nor did he expect Summer to do something like this. After all, she looked every bit like a spoiled, pampered lady."Ms. Hartford, the wind's strong at the docks. If you don't mind, woul

"They're your men anyway. You can beat them up or feed them to the sharks. That's up to you. But since you don't plan to settle this debt with me, then I have nothing else to say. I'll settle this my own way." Summer stood up."What are you doing?" The men behind Vincent suddenly surged forward menacingly."Don't think you're untouchable just because you're a rich heiress. This is Mr. Rourke's turf. Do you think you can just come and go as you please?""Vincent, you'd better think carefully about what you're doing." Robin stepped in front of Summer with his fists already clenched."It looks like Vincent isn't planning on letting me leave." Summer still looked fearless.She stepped out from behind Robin and smiled. "Are you sure about this? Are you really not going to let me go?"Vincent looked at Summer, and that creeping sense of unease returned."Ms. Hartford, I don't understand what you mean. I already said this had nothing to do with me. What debt are you trying to settle?"

Summer hopped off the table. "Forget it. I'm done talking to him. Mason. Let's go.""Ms. Hartford!" Vincent was stunned for a moment, then quickly tried to stop them.Mason shot him a cold look, and Vincent froze in place. "You really think she came all the way here without knowing anything? Vincent, you're an old hand in this game. Summer kindly gave you a way out, but you refused it. So now, we'll have to do things our way."Vincent stomped his foot in frustration. "What does this have to do with me anyway? It's your aunt who's buzzing around my ear every day!"In the end, Vincent couldn't hold it in anymore. "Fine! I admit it! What do you want me to do for you to let this go?"Summer looked exasperated. "You should've admitted it from the start. It would have saved everyone a lot of breath. I'm not going to do anything to you. I just have one request."Vincent frowned at her.When she told him the request, he looked completely bewildered. Then, he smiled and looked at Mason.

Robin was right there, but Summer was already setting up their next date."Alright." Mason nodded.Summer was then promptly shoved into the car by Robin.The car sped off, and Mason stood there, watching.Kyle asked softly, "So, the relationship is basically mostly revealed to the Hartford household, right? It's only Mr. Hartford and Mr. Hartford Senior who don't know yet."Mason nodded. "More or less.""Didn't Mr. Hartford say last time that he wanted to treat you to a meal? Now that you've got over a week here, why don't we arrange that dinner?" Kyle suggested.He'd seen it on Mason's schedule and remembered it."Yes." Mason nodded.Kristen didn't seem hostile toward him. Robin appeared to be completely under Summer's thumb now, so he was firmly on their side. Henry was the hardest one to deal with.So, Mason felt like he should start with his future father-in-law first. He should build the relationship slowly, and the rest would come easier.Kyle couldn't help but sigh in

The men in the van looked at each other, then burst out laughing. One of them pulled out a dagger and tapped Rosanna's face twice with the flat side.Rosanna nearly wet herself in fear."Vincent? What a coincidence! We're here on his orders!"Rosanna froze. Then she asked, "So, you're taking me to see Summer?""You'll know when we get there!"The man didn't say anything else. They tied her up with rope and pulled a black sack over her head.Rosanna's heart was pounding. Since they were working for Vincent, they probably wouldn't hurt her, right?But something about the way they looked at her didn't feel right.The van bumped along the road. After some amount of time, just as Rosanna was about to fall asleep, the vehicle finally came to a stop.She vaguely heard the sound of waves crashing nearby. Then, they shoved her out of the car. As she walked forward, two of the men behind her exchanged glances and chuckled. "It's the first time I've seen an abduction victim so cooperat
