Semua Bab The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress: Bab 561 - Bab 570

Henry was still somewhat concerned.Summer said, "Ms. Turner probably wasn't fully recovered and had a relapse. It's safer for her to be in a recovery facility than to stay by Mason's side.""She had a relapse? I thought Cynthia seemed fine," Henry said.Summer didn't respond to that.After the past few days, Summer and Mason were basically officially together. Naturally, there was no way she could tell Henry about what Mason told her had happened back then, as well as his suspicions.After lunch, Henry and Luke went off to take a nap.Summer knew they'd been incredibly busy for the past two or three days, and she didn't want them to tire themselves out even more on her account.So, she quietly slipped out the door.Phoebe helped her into the car. Thinking it would be months before she saw Summer again, she couldn't help but tear up. "Ms. Hartford, if Mr. Hartford Senior didn't need someone to take care of him, I would definitely go with you. You know I can't just trust anyone

After a while, Summer was finally done. She cracked her stiff neck and stretched lazily.After that, she turned to look at Mason. "You're up?" Summer braced herself on the couch to stand up, but after sitting for so long, her legs had gone numb. She lost her balance and toppled straight toward Mason.Mason reacted quickly, immediately standing up to catch her."I've got a cramp…" Summer pouted miserably.Mason hurriedly helped her massage her leg.He said with both concern and a hint of reproach, "You should have worked in the study. Curling up like that was bound to be uncomfortable.""I just wanted to be near you," Summer mumbled.Mason didn't say anything as he continued massaging her leg until she felt better."I'll take a day off from college tomorrow," Summer said, lying on Mason's chest. Her fingers traced the contours of his face.Mason let her do as she pleased. "Sure."Summer looked up at him and leaned in close to his ear. "I'm tired. Let's go back to your place?

"I'm Suzanne Carlson. I've heard so much about you, Ms. Hartford," Suzanne said, extending her hand toward Summer.Summer politely shook it."Kristen, if you're okay with what I said earlier, I'll talk to the director right now," Suzanne said to Kristen."Go ahead," Kristen replied, almost as if she was eager to send Suzanne away."What are you talking to the director about?" Summer blinked curiously."The lead actress got injured, remember? We can't find a replacement in time, and the shoot's about to begin. So, she wants to audition for the role," Kristen said.Summer smiled. "No need to go through all that trouble. I ran into the director on my way over."Summer paused for a moment. "The director said my looks are a perfect fit for the female lead in this show. He asked me to take on the role, and I agreed.""What?" Both Suzanne and Kristen said at the same time."Kristen!" Just then, the director came running over happily."Summer, you're here, too. Did you tell your moth

Mason looked at Summer warmly and patted her head. "If that's the case, then let her stay around. Doesn't Rose love to cause trouble? We can just let her ruin herself.""That's what I was thinking, too," Summer said, wrapping her arms around Mason's waist and resting her cheek against his chest. "Let's leave it at that. I won't go easy on her if she decides to cause any trouble."Summer had originally decided to show Rose a sliver of mercy if Rose truly disappeared from her and her family's lives for good.But clearly, Rose didn't appreciate the opportunity.In that case, she didn't have a choice.Summer murmured, "Mason, what should I do? I've never acted before, and this project is the centerpiece of my mom's company this year. She's invested so much money in it. Dear, what if nobody buys it when it's done?"Mason was momentarily stunned. "What did you call me?""I just called you 'dear,'" Summer said without thinking.But when she saw his reaction, she started to get mischie

Before Kristen could even figure out what to say, Suzanne was back.She had actually never left. She waited nearby and rushed back the moment Summer left.Kristen said, "Suzanne, forget about this role. Summer is more suitable for it than you are. Once you finish this project, I'll arrange for a better role for you."The smile on Suzanne's face slowly disappeared. "Summer is more suitable than me? Aunt Kristen, don't you feel the least bit guilty saying that? I've had acting training, while Summer had none. You really believe she can handle such a complex role just because she says so?""There's nothing more to discuss. The director has made the decision, and so have I," Kristen cut Suzanne off firmly.Suzanne stood in place. "You're just playing favorites!""Suzanne, the only reason you even got this far is because I'm helping you out of respect for your mother. If you want to see it as favoritism, then so be it." Kristen turned her head away. She was clearly done talking about
