Grace had arrived in the living room. She looked back toward the stairs. Knowing that Louis wasn't chasing her, she snorted.

"He thinks I'm playing around with my words?"

Grace reached into her handbag to get her phone. Shifting her jaw, she waited for someone to answer her call.

"Are you still interested in destroying Louis?" she asked as someone greeted her from the other side of the phone.

A few moments later, she spoke again, "Don't deny it. I know you still have that video. Spread it throughout the whole world right now. I want everyone to know that the girl named Sky Hills is cunning and shameless. I want everyone to side with me and curse her—curse what she and Louis have done."

Silence ensued again, but this time, a thin smile appeared on Grace's face. "Good. I appreciate your courage. I can't wait to see her fall."

After ending the call, Grace returned her phone to her bag. She was about to walk towards the exit. Unexpectedly, someone pulled on her dress. When she looked back

    "Because your mother won't leave if she knows that's my order," Grace answered lightly. "She'll just stay here, and Louis will definitely forbid you from leaving. Your mission to be responsible could be ruined.""So, I can't say that I asked Mommy to go home for responsibility?" Summer shook her head slightly.Grace nodded. "Yes, you should make another excuse. You can say that you miss your home or feel bored here. Up to you. The important thing is you leave without bringing Louis. It's even better if he doesn't know. That way, you can leave without any drama or arguments."Summer was pensive. After a few blinks, she finally let out a heavy sigh. "Okay. I'll do it well. Please remember your promise. Don't spread the video and make Mommy fall."Grace didn't answer yes or no. She just raised her eyebrows, checking the time and the surrounding conditions."Well then, I'll wait for the good news. Don't fail to carry out your responsibilities."Grace turned to leave. Summer just blinked a

    Biting her lip, Summer shook her head. "No, Mommy. I really want to go home.""Why? Aren't you excited about doing a lot of things here? You've made a lot of promises to others. We're going to hang out with Emily tomorrow, right?"Summer blinked listlessly. "Yes, but I really miss Grandpa and Grandma. I want to go home, Mommy. Grandpa and Grandma must miss us too.""Are you sure? Then what about your promises? Don't you like breaking promises?""I can do that another time, Mommy. Now, can you book plane tickets for us to go home tomorrow morning?"Sky fell silent for a moment. Her eyes blinked at her daughter, trying to find a clue in her face."What just happened, Summer? Did you really go to the library?""Yes, Mommy," Summer answered quietly."Did you meet Grace? She's the one who told you to leave?"Summer blinked once, then shook her head with a blank face. "No, Mommy. If I had met her, I would have run away. She's scary. We shouldn't get close to her.""You're not lying, aren't

    "Hello, Louis. You finally care about me again. Have you come to your senses now? Do you want to apologize?" Grace answered in an intimidating voice."You're the one who should apologize, Ace! Do you realize what you've done? You've slandered Sky!" Louis' voice exploded with anger."Slander?" Grace replied in a surprised tone. A second later, her laughter sounded thin and annoying. "I just revealed the truth, Louis. What we witnessed was what happened on the field. Not a single second of the video was faked.""The video wasn't faked, but you deliberately edited it so that Sky looked guilty! Delete the video right now! Don't make the misunderstanding worse," Louis said firmly."I didn't edit it, Louis. I just asked for the truth to be revealed, and I can't delete it. I wasn't the one who uploaded it."Louis closed his eyes to hold back his anger. His blood vessels would burst if he didn't immediately control his emotions."Then tell me ... who uploaded the video," Louis whispered, emph

    After the video sharing platform had gone down, Louis called someone."Hello, Brandon. Are you sleeping?" he greeted his best friend."Of course I am. You don't know what time it is? Even the sun is still hiding in the other hemisphere. What's wrong?" the hoarse voice replied.Louis pursed his lips. He looked a little embarrassed. "Is your private jet available?""Yes. I don't have any plans to travel this week. Why?"Louis tapped his fingers on the table. "Can I borrow it?" he asked with a heavy heart."Did I hear you right? You want to borrow my private jet? Didn't you and Emily always criticize my decision to buy it? You said that private jets are bad for the environment. Their carbon emissions are greater than commercial flights.""Yes, indeed. Private jets are the most polluting form of transport. I wouldn't use them unless it was an emergency like this," Louis explained resignedly."Where are you going with my jet?"Louis tapped the table again. "M City. I need to teach someone

    "Louis?" Sky whispered hoarsely.Louis' hand was cupping her cheek. His smile was thin, and his gaze was sad."What are you doing here?" Sky whispered, glancing at the clock. "You're not sleeping? Why are you dressed like this? Where are you going?""Did I wake you up?" Louis changed the subject. He stroked Sky's cheek with his thumb, his gaze suddenly full of love."Yes. You kissed my forehead. You promised not to touch me as long as you were still Grace's lover, remember?"Louis' face turned sour. "Sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up. I also didn't mean to break my promise. I just wanted to say goodbye.""Where are you going?" Sky repeated her question with more emphasis."I have something to take care of in M City."Sky's eyes widened. "M City? Does it have something to do with our scandal?"Louis nodded. "But you don't need to worry. I will clear up all the misunderstandings. This problem will be over soon, and your reputation will be good again.""How? What are you planning?"Loui

    Upon arriving at M City, Louis immediately called Summer. His heart felt heavy because he didn't have time to say goodbye before leaving.Unfortunately, Summer didn't pick up the phone. That made Louis restless."Is she so busy having fun with Emily that she doesn't have time to pick up my call?" he muttered to himself.After a brief consideration, Louis put his phone in his pocket. "Okay. Maybe I should focus on my mission first.""So, where are we going, Sir?" Omega asked, making the other guards glance at him in surprise."Do you still not understand? Or were you sleeping when I explained it?" Louis replied, making the youngest guard lower his head."Sorry, Sir. I thought you might have changed your mind."Louis snorted. "Kendrick still hasn't held a press conference, and his time is running out. I never joke around when I give warnings. Let's go to his hotel! I can't wait to surprise him."Meanwhile, somewhere else, Summer was still lying weak. An IV line was connected to her hand

    The manager's mouth trembled violently. He wanted to speak, but his tongue was too stiff.It was then the male receptionist spoke up again, "Sir, we didn't mean to get in your way. It's just that the recording is no longer there. It's useless for you to look for it.""If the recording is gone, you guys shouldn't be afraid. Just let me check it with my own eyes. It won't be a problem, right?"The young receptionist lowered her head. Louis' gaze was too intense for him."My apologies, Sir. I just meant to protect the reputation of this hotel. That's one of my duties."Louis nodded. "I can understand that. You are a good employee, but what about your boss?" He shifted his gaze to the side.As the manager's body tensed up again, Louis continued, "If you really care about the reputation of this hotel, you should help me. Don't be afraid of Kendrick. This hotel belongs to his family, not just him. He could be kicked out, and you'd still be safe. Or do you want to be kicked out too?"The man

    "Have you watched the video of Kendrick and the rainbow-haired girl? Now you know who really set me up," Louis stated firmly. Then, he lifted his chin slightly to look more convincing."Kendrick was the mastermind behind my scandal. He deliberately invited me to his hotel bar so he could put drugs in my drink. After I was drunk, he ordered that rainbow-haired girl to take me to a room. You must know what dirty tricks she was going to play. Luckily, Sky came to save me."The comments flooded in again. Everyone was cursing Kendrick. They were now curious about what happened next. How could Sky be pregnant with Louis' child?However, there were still a few people who doubted Louis' statement. They asked for concrete evidence.Luckily, Louis had already thought of that possibility. He continued, "I still haven't managed to get the CCTV footage from five years ago. Therefore, please give me a moment. I will show you the truth soon. While you wait, I hope you can consider the hate speech yo

    Hearing that explanation, Summer fell into deep thoughts. She remembered Grace. Gigi's attitude reminded her of that ex-enemy of hers."I'm sorry if I upset you, Gigi. But I didn't mean to steal anyone from you. I came here just to study. I want to know what school is like. If I like it, I'll continue to be here. If not, I'll study independently at home.""Then, just study by yourself. Don't come here again. I don't like you here, and you don't fit into our class either."Summer bit her lip. She stopped eating."I'm sorry, Gigi. I can't fulfill your request. This is my life. Only I have the right to control it. Even if you don't like it, I will still come here. Because it's already part of my plan for the next few days," she said firmly.Gigi flinched. She couldn't believe what she had just heard. "You dare to fight me?"Unexpectedly, Summer let out a tired sigh. "Gigi, I came here to find friends, not enemies. Therefore, please don't pick a fight with me. That's not a good thing to do

    While the kids from the next table went back to their seats, River whispered, "Summer, did you learn that from your bank account?""Yes!" Summer exclaimed with wide eyes. "I saw how my savings in the bank book changed. I asked Mommy to explain it."River sighed in amazement. "Wow, I guess you're right. Learning doesn't have to be at school, but can be anywhere. The proof is you can learn a lot of things from one bank book."Summer giggled. She liked being praised, and she was happy that her knowledge was useful in helping her friends.Meanwhile, Gigi lowered her head. She started to squeeze her own fingers. Her annoyance could no longer be controlled."Summer is so mean. She has stolen my teachers and friends. Because of her, everyone ignored me today. She needs to be warned," she said to herself.Therefore, when it was time to break, she followed Summer and

    Summer blinked. Her lips were folded into her mouth.Seeing that, Gigi felt satisfied. She was increasingly convinced that Summer didn't understand what they had been discussing."Mrs. Ross, Summer seems too young to be in this class. If she stays with us, it's a shame for her. She'll definitely be left behind," Gigi said with a pitiful face.Mrs. Ross sighed. She remembered, when she received the news about Summer, she had hesitated to accept her. Only after Louis explained about Summer's abilities did her worries subside. But now, that feeling rose again and weighed on her shoulders."Everyone, let's help Summer understand the lesson," Mrs. Ross said while grabbing three number magnets. She arranged them on a special board into the number 123. Before she could ask, Summer raised her hand."Excuse me, Mrs. Ross. May I explain that number?"The teacher raised an eyebrow. "Would you like to try?" she asked with a smile. After all, she couldn't show any hesitation.Summer nodded. Her fi

    "Because this is a surprise for you!" River answered with a meaningful smile.Summer's head was tilted to the left. "Surprise?"River handed a book to her. Seeing the front cover, Summer gasped."This is my book! Why did the teacher ask the students to bring it today?" she whispered with round eyes.Her voice was as thin as the wind. It tickled River's ears. The boy chuckled again."I heard from Uncle Brandon, the teachers were impressed with your abilities. It happened when your father assured them that you could keep up with the students in this class. Because of that, the teachers decided to discuss your book. They want the other kids to be inspired by your enthusiasm and achievements.""Wow," Summer sighed in amazement. "I didn't know Daddy did that. He made me sound cool.""You're cool, Summer. Now stop chatting. We'll get told off.

    "Who are you, Little Kid? Why are you here with River? Don't you realize that this is not your place? You should come to kindergarten!" she asked sharply.Instead of being afraid, Summer smiled. She held out her hand, saying friendly, "Hello, Gigi. I'm Summer, a temporary student in this class. Nice to meet you."Gigi was reluctant to shake Summer's hand. Luckily, before Summer knew that, two teachers came."Good morning, Everyone."All the kids stared wide-eyed, turning towards the door."Good morning, Mrs. Ross and Miss Jasmine," the students greeted them. Even Summer joined in the greeting, though her voice was a bit late.Then, while the other kids returned to their seats, Gigi grabbed River's hand. "River, let's sit down. I've already picked a spot next to you."River blinked innocently. "Thank you, Gigi. But I still have to take care of Summer. Just go to your seat first."After letting go of Gigi, River grabbed the smaller girl's hand. "Come on, Summer. I've saved a spot for yo

    A second later, Summer came out of the limousine. River immediately greeted her with fiery enthusiasm."Wow, Summer? You're wearing a jumpsuit like every other day?" the boy in the neat shirt asked, a little surprised.Summer looked down, checking her clothes. "Is there any problem? Aren't we allowed to dress freely? You said there were no uniforms except for special events."River pursed his lips to one side. "Actually, there's no problem. It's just that I thought you would wear special clothes. It's your first day of school! Some girls even wear dresses, complete with pretty ribbons on their heads.""And your backpack?" River pulled Summer's arm so that the little girl would turn around a little. "Didn't you say you bought school equipment with your parents?"Summer blinked innocently. "Yes, I bought them. They're all in here. You know what? There's a sharpener on the end of my

    Summer gasped. She realized that his family's secret was in jeopardy."Sorry, River. I can't tell you yet. After we've been closer, and I've managed to meet Papoy, I'll tell you," she nodded reassuringly.River's lips pursed to one corner. "Okay.""Now, do you need some papers? How about you write down your plans for the next few days?" Summer offered, trying to erase the disappointment on her new friend's face."That's a great idea!"Watching Summer and River's interaction, Omega smiled faintly. He secretly took a picture of them, and sent it to Louis."Report, Boss. The situation is under control. They were just talking about school. It seems like your daughter is starting to get interested."Receiving that message, Louis sighed in disbelief. When he showed it to Sky, Sky also showed the same response."What made Summer change her mind?" Sky whispered in a soft, ticklish voice.Louis shrugged. Stroking Sky's slender waist, he whispered, "Let's just wait. Summer will definitely tell u

    "Mommy, Daddy, I'll take River to play in my exploration room. Thank you for the explanation you've given. We'll talk again later, okay?"Louis and Sky smiled in amusement. "Okay, Honey. Have fun with your new friend.""Okay, Mommy."After waving her hand, Summer walked with River towards her room. The two of them looked so cute from behind."Louis, are you familiar with that scene?" Sky whispered softly.Louis nodded. "They're just like us. I hope they can be good friends too."While Sky nodded, Louis shifted his gaze towards Omega. "Please keep an eye on them. If River says something inappropriate for his age, give him a warning. Although he is a good boy, we still have to be careful. He watches too much TV."The guard nodded. "Yes, Sir." After that, he hurried after the children. His responsibilities had become heavier. He knew that he

    "Now that I think about it," River pondered. "Uncle Louis, you're right. Summer and I are still too young to get married. Even if we were meant to be, it would take a few more years for us to do it.""Really? You won't marry me until we're adults?" Summer still sounded suspicious."Yes," River nodded casually. "Like you said, there are still many things we have to do before getting married. We're still young. We should focus on preparing ourselves for the future. Moreover, we're heirs to big companies."A second later, River turned his body to fully face Summer. He held out his hand."How about being friends?" he suggested. "We can play and study together. If we're meant to be, we can get married when we're adults.""What if I still don't like you when we're grown up? Are you going to force me to get married to you?" Summer asked, making Louis and Sky glance at each other.River lowered his hand. His lips were pulled to one side. "I think it's too soon for us to talk about that. I don'
