Not to mention, the missing ring finger on Summer’s right hand.As soon as these two reports were out, the public targeted the Hopes and the psychiatric hospital where Summer had been confined.The public left malicious comments on the official website of Hope Corporation and the hospital. There was even a witch hunt for Summer’s doctor. In the Hope residence, Donald threw his phone on the floor. The public was cursing the Hope family, especially him. They even said that he was involved in the death of his first wife. Donald was furious because no one had ever criticized him like that. Lana was also upset because the public had dug out the fact that she was the home wrecker of Summer’s parents. “What should we do, Donald? There are reporters outside, and they’ll dig up something that will affect our reputation soon. We have to think of something, otherwise, we will have to comply with Summer.” Donald said with hatred, “That brat is always stirring up problems for us, and now, she
Some of them speculated that she would probably go back to Harry. “Summer has nothing left since Nathan is dead now. She should get back with Harry!”“Summer was pretty back then, too bad she’s handicapped now. Harry could get anyone he wants, will he even take a glance at Summer?” “It will be funny to see the ex-fiancée as the mistress now.” “Joyce and Harry had a son. Summer can’t replace her easily!” Summer felt that it was ridiculous as she read these comments. She had never planned to get back with Harry. How could the public think of her getting back with someone who had abandoned her when she needed help the most?She didn’t love him anymore, and all that was left was hate.After a while, a bodyguard in his thirties came into the ward. “Ms. Hope, Mrs. Valor will be here soon. I’m here to escort you to the entrance. You can get into her car once she arrives.” “Great.” Summer nodded.The bodyguard helped Summer with her luggage.After she came out of her ward, there were an
Donald wasn’t bothered about Summer's resistance. “People who are sick would usually deny it! I know that you’re mentally ill!” He had said. Summer had been in hell all these years because of him. She had known that Donald hated her, but she had underestimated human nature. As soon as Donald saw Summer approaching them, he immediately greeted her as a father would. “Summer, you’re finally discharged. I wanted to go to your ward just now, it’s great that you’re here. I’m happy that our hard work in treating you didn’t go to waste. Let’s go home. Your mom asked the servants to clean up your room every day. She’s been looking forward to your return!” “My mom?” Summer snickered. “My mom passed away when I was three years old. When did she come back from the dead?” Her words made the atmosphere awkward. Donald’s smile froze for a moment. He would have slapped Summer in private, but he had to pretend to be a good father in front of the reporters now. “Yes, that’s true, but your stepm
Joyce was hinting at those who had helped Summer. Summer looked at her coldly. “I trusted my family and ended up in such a mess while the outsiders are the ones who saved me and proved that there’s nothing wrong with me. Who should I trust?” “Summer, you’ve misunderstood us. You were really sick, and it was stated in the doctor’s report. There was more than one doctor who diagnosed you. It’s impossible for every doctor to make a mistake.” One of the reporters suddenly exclaimed, “Gosh! A doctor just confessed online that the Hope family bribed him back then! He just diagnosed Summer to have a mental illness without any examination!”“Is it true?!” “If that’s true, then it’s the Hopes who planned everything.” “There were already some speculations going around. It could be true that they locked a healthy person up for wealth and power!” Donald, Lana, and Joyce’s expressions changed when they heard that. The reporters immediately held up their microphones at the Hopes and continuou
“Can I go somewhere before going to the residence you've arranged for me?” Summer asked. “Where do you want to go?” Serenity asked. “The Gerhold residence.” Summer was nervous along the way. -Serenity was surprised to see Lucas in the Gerhold family's residence’s living room when they reached. Lucas’s cold expression changed when he saw her. Yelena knew that what she had found out about them was true. Although Lucas had dated a few women, he only had Serenity in his heart. Rumors had it that Lucas and Jackson had fought because of Serenity. In the beginning, Yelena was surprised to hear that because Serenity wasn’t stunningly beautiful. Still, she believed that Serenity had the charm to make two outstanding men fall in love with her. North refused to see Summer because he still thought that it was Summer’s fault that Nathan had been killed. However, he agreed when Yelena signaled him with her eyes. He had to meet Summer for the sake of respecting Serenity since Serenity was
“Are you suspicious of the investigation report?” North asked. “Yes. There’s another thing that I want to point out. Nathan had complained about the car being too warm while driving, but I felt cold at the same time. I don’t think that we should have felt such a vast difference in the same car,” Summer said. After a pause, Summer added, “If Nathan wasn’t sick, someone could have done something to his food that could have caused him to feel strange.”“Do you mean that he could have been drugged?” North narrowed his eyes suspiciously.“I can only think about these two points at this moment.” This was what Summer had realized when she kept repeating the scene of the crash over and over again in the psychiatric hospital.North scoffed. “Why didn’t you bring these details up after the car accident? Can I even believe what you said?” “My mind was in a mess during the accident. Nathan died trying to protect me, and I assumed the crash was an accident. I didn’t want to recall anything abou
Serenity rushed to the bathroom and vomited in the sink. Her retching echoed in the bathroom. Little did she know that someone was worrying about her outside the bathroom. Everything about Serenity would affect Lucas’s mood. He kept telling himself that Serenity was happy with Jackson now and she only saw him as a childhood friend. However, his actions were quicker than his mind. Lucas followed Serenity the moment he saw her rushing to the bathroom looking unwell. Her retching made him worried sick. After some time, Serenity came out of the bathroom. “Are you alright?” Lucas hurriedly asked. Serenity was surprised to see Lucas, then she shook her head. “I thought about something bad in the past when listening to Summer talk about the conspiracy of the car accident and I felt disgusted. I feel better after vomiting.” Lucas’s expression dimmed. Although Serenity hadn’t died in the car accident, she had been imprisoned for three years. Lucas had only known that she had suffe
This showed that Jackson was certain that Serenity would only love him in this lifetime. “Yeah, it’s me who was worried,” Lucas said faintly. Then, he turned around to go back to the living room. “Lucas!” Serenity called out, “Thank you for helping Summer.” “No problem.” He smiled. Lucas was only involved in the case because of Serenity. In truth, he wasn’t bothered by Summer at all. He would give everything to help Serenity as long as she needed help. However, he wouldn’t burden her with his love. When they returned to the living room, they heard North say, “You’d better not be lying to me. If someone conspired in the accident, I will definitely find the culprits so that Nathan can rest in peace. If you’re lying to me just to get away from the responsibility of Nathan’s death, I will…” Summer cut him off, “I will pay with my life if I’m lying to you!” Everyone present was taken aback by her words. Serenity hurriedly said, “Summer, Nathan will be disappointed with you if you d
