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
They couldn’t do anything except wait for a suitable liver donor. Power and money were nothing in front of life and death. -In the following days, the Hope family's pathetic acting at the hospital and Summer’s doctor’s apology statement were trending online. The police had announced that they would investigate the incident. People were commenting on all sorts of speculations. Of course, most of them thought that the Hope family had forcefully locked up Summer in the psychiatric hospital. After all, all the shares that Summer owned were given to Joyce and Donald, and Joyce had gotten married to Summer’s ex-fiancé, Harry.Joyce was the biggest benefactor of the whole incident. The public was waiting for updates every day. Joyce almost had a mental breakdown by the time she got out of the police station. The reporters outside were flashing their cameras and kept throwing questions at her.She could only lower her head and get into the car under the protection of her bodyguards. T
Harry was more heartless than Joyce had imagined. Joyce decided to drag the Scott family into the mess even if Harry wasn’t willing to help. She wouldn’t let Summer get back everything she once had.-Joyce walked straight into Scott Corporation when she arrived at the building. Everyone was aware of the trending news, and they began to whisper once Joyce entered the elevator. Joyce was stopped by Harry’s secretary when she wanted to see Harry. “Mr. Scott is busy now. Please wait for a bit.” “I have something very important to tell him.” “Yes, but you’ll have to wait,” the secretary insisted.Joyce felt that the secretary was looking at her disdainfully. “Why are you looking at me like that? Are you looking down on me because the Hopes are in trouble now?” Joyce scolded. “No, Mrs. Scott. You’ve misunderstood me.” “No? Why are you stopping me from entering the office, then?” “Mr. Scott instructed me not to allow anyone to enter his office at the moment.” Joyce slapped the sec
“Don’t do something shameful if you’re afraid of being ashamed.” Harry sat down at his desk. “Are you here to ask me to help the Hopes?” “Yes! You should help your wife’s maternal family, right?” Joyce said. “You shouldn’t take everything for granted. Just like back then, I didn’t really have to marry you,” Harry said nonchalantly. “Are you trying to blame me for asking you to marry me because of the pregnancy?” Joyce’s expression changed. Harry didn’t answer her. “My family won’t help you guys. We don’t want to get dragged into this mess,” Harry said after weighing the pros and cons. Joyce was taken aback by his coldness. She wondered if he would have helped the Hopes if Summer was his wife. “If something happened to the Hopes, the projects that were affiliated with the Scotts will definitely be affected. You guys will also suffer heavy losses, right?” Joyce asked. Harry had expected that. “Don’t you care about Hayden?” Joyce added, “Will he still be able to have a peaceful l
