"Something like that happened?" Summer looked completely surprised."I don't know if it's true either," Kristen replied.Summer raised an eyebrow. "If things really got that bad between them, there's no way Mason wouldn't know. I'll ask him about it tomorrow."If Cynthia had actually been hostile toward Xena, then using Xena as an excuse to stay by Mason's side was definitely very suspicious.…In the blink of an eye, it was New Year's Eve. At the Hunt residence, the household was already incredibly busy since early in the morning.Victoria had been in better spirits lately. After she woke up, she took a walk in the yard with Saul. "I heard from Jane that you've been handling your work well. At least you haven't embarrassed me.""Grandma, don't worry. I'll do even better in the future," Saul answered.At that moment, Jane arrived with Violet.Ever since Violet had failed in that PR plot, she had hardly visited the Hunt residence. It was partly because Victoria held grudges and

"Yes, Aunt Jane, I get it. You've told me this countless times since I was a child! I know!" Violet suddenly exploded.Jane was momentarily stunned.Realizing that she had lost control of herself, Violet said, "Aunt Jane, I'm sorry…""Has everything that's been happening lately made you feel stifled?" Jane asked.Violet thought for a moment, then nodded. "I've never been rejected like this before."Jane took her hand and patted it gently. "Mason and Saul are two different people. Summer's a very intelligent woman. She's got both of their hearts wrapped tightly around her fingers. But we don't need their hearts. You don't have to care about that.""I understand." Violet nodded obediently.…Summer didn't know if it was because Mason was coming that day, but she woke up bright and early.After she woke up, she wandered aimlessly around the residence, checking on the staff who were preparing the New Year's Eve dinner.Basically, she couldn't sit still."Ms. Hartford, are you fe

"That's enough!" Cynthia snarled.Cynthia's life had been a blank slate for 12 years. In just the blink of an eye, some of her best years had passed, and she simply couldn't accept it. So, Summer acting like Cynthia was older felt like rubbing salt on an open wound.Summer looked at her calmly. "Aren't you the one who likes playing this little game? What? I just started, and you can't take it?""Summer, why don't you dare treat me like this in front of Mason?" Cynthia sneered."Do you want me to? I don't mind," Summer answered.Cynthia clenched her teeth. "You really think you've got Mason wrapped around your finger? Let me tell you. The one he loves will always be my sister. Why do you think he's even with you? He just wants to merge with Hartford Group. He doesn't like you at all!""I don't know who the one he loves is, but I do know that it's not you," Summer said calmly.Last night, she had used her web-crawling tools to dig up some online gossip about Cynthia and Xena. Mo

Summer had tolerated Cynthia for quite some time, but she finally came to her senses last night.Some people only pushed further the more you gave in. The more you let them off the hook, the more they would cling on.So, she figured that she just shouldn't hold back anymore.If Cynthia wanted to stir trouble, then Summer would do so, too. The day Cynthia stopped, Summer would as well.…Soon, lunch began. As guests, Mason and Cynthia were warmly welcomed.After the meal, Kristen brought Summer, Mason, Cynthia, and the ever-present Luke to the greenhouse.Kristen loved flowers, but winter got way too cold in their city for most flowers to bloom. So, Luke had spent a lot of money building a large heated greenhouse in the residence, just to grow those flowers that only thrived in warmer weather.Kristen hadn't been working back then, so she had plenty of time. She spent hours every day tending to the greenhouse, and the plants inside thrived.While she and Summer went to get scis

Normally, Phoebe was quite polite to any other heiresses she met. But that was only if they treated Summer well."What's wrong, Ms. Turner?" Phoebe asked casually."Future husband? Are you talking about Mason?" Cynthia asked.Phoebe replied, "I was just speaking casually. Of course, Mr. Hunt is an outstanding man, so that's not out of the question. I've worked as a housekeeper all my life, and I've seen all sorts of people. It's obvious to me that Mr. Hunt likes Ms. Hartford."Cynthia clenched her teeth tightly.Phoebe sighed. "But a man like Mr. Hunt must catch a lot of attention. Still, he strikes me as a loyal man. All those people who covet him are just trying to reach for something they're not worthy of. It's just pure wishful thinking. If it were me, I'd give up early."Cynthia could clearly hear Phoebe's sarcasm."Well, who is worthy and who is not is still up for debate," Cynthia said coldly. Then, she couldn't be bothered to argue with a mere household staff anymore as
