“I’ll think about it,” North said. Summer nodded. It was all she could do for Nathan. -Joyce soon became the main suspect in Nathan's case. The news spread like wildfire, and it was immediately trending online. A bunch of reporters would gather around the entrance of the Scott residence and Gerhold residence. A few of them had even gone to Summer’s place after finding out where she lived. Summer only had one sentence to tell them. “I believe that all the truth will come to light, and the culprit who killed Nathan will be brought to justice.”A reporter then asked a question that was the talk of the town.“There are also rumors that you intentionally released the clues to the police to arrest Joyce. When you were admitted to the psychiatric hospital, Joyce immediately married Harry. Will you get back together with Harry since Joyce is going to prison and she might be divorced soon?” A lot of people bet that Summer would marry Harry. Summer, who was going to leave, paused abruptl
“I didn’t have to do that?” Joyce laughed. “Do you really think so?” Harry remained silent. If the car crash hadn’t happened in the first place, he would have still married Summer even though they fought a lot. He loved Summer and wanted her as his wife. “You did this just to marry me? Or was it for Summer’s shares?” Harry questioned Joyce. “I’m not going to answer your question. If you don’t want Hayden to have a criminal mother and your family’s reputation to be affected, you should help me win this lawsuit. It should be an easy job for you, right?” Joyce said. Harry was enraged. “Are you threatening me now?” “No, it’s a matter of fact. It would be best for your family if I’m acquitted, right?” “Yes, but I might not do that. You forgot one thing, Joyce. I hate being threatened!” After saying that, Harry left. Joyce panicked. “You’ll regret it for sure if you don’t help me!” Harry stopped in his tracks. “What I regret the most is marrying you. You don’t deserve to be Hayden’s
In her hand was a bracelet that Nathan had given her back then before he was about to go abroad. “Summer, I shouldn’t be able to attend your wedding. This is my wedding gift to you. I hope that you’ll be the prettiest bride on that day!” Nathan told Summer. Summer planned to wear the bracelet again one day. “Nathan…” she mumbled softly and got teary again. Suddenly, a voice laced with sarcasm was heard. “Do you miss Nathan that much? Are you going to marry him if he’s still alive?” Summer was stunned to see Harry standing in front of her. He was dressed elegantly, but his expression was ugly. “Yes. If Nathan was still alive, I would marry him right away!” Summer answered without hesitation. It was regretful that the man who loved her deeply had lost his life to protect her. She should be the one who had died. Harry was annoyed by her words, and his expression darkened. “Seems like you’re deeply in love with him. I shouldn’t have stepped in between you guys from the beginning,”
“Give it back!” Summer said frantically as she stared at the bracelet in Harry’s hand anxiously. The bracelet was the only thing in her eyes. Harry was upset that she did not look at him at all. He was nothing in her eyes. “Summer, isn’t it enough for you to cheat on me back then? Are you still going to reminisce about Nathan with this bracelet? Things like this should be destroyed!” Harry said and reached out to the ditch next to him. If the bracelet fell into the ditch, Summer would never find it again. “Stop it!” Summer yelled. “I will never forgive you if you get rid of the bracelet!” Harry smirked. “What did I do that I need to ask for your forgiveness? Who do you think you are? I’m supposed to say that instead of you!” Summer turned pale. “Nathan gave me the bracelet. Since you snatched it from me, the police can charge you with robbery!” “Robbery?” Harry snorted. “You can only say that I accidentally lost your belongings. I can totally compensate for the original price o
Anyway, the police and the court had all the evidence to convict Joyce. The Gerhold family would never leave Joyce alone either. Summer had nothing to regret now.She lay in the middle of the road boldly. Harry, who was not far away, was shocked. He hadn’t expected her to do that just to take back her bracelet. He broke out in a cold sweat.He wondered if the bracelet was really that important to her that she could die for it. His hand, which was gripping the bracelet, was trembling as he turned pale. Suddenly, the headlight of a car flashed in the distance. Harry watched the car getting closer to Summer. He rushed out to stop the car without thinking. Harry realized that he didn’t want Summer to die. The car screeched, and the driver poked his head out of the window as he cursed, “Idiots! Go die elsewhere!” Harry wasn’t bothered about it, and he was only thinking about Summer, who was lying on the ground. “Are you crazy?!” Harry turned around and violently pulled Summer up fro
Nathan had gotten Summer’s heart with a mere bracelet. Harry realized he wasn’t anything in Summer’s heart now. He got back into his car and looked at his palm. The shape of the bracelet was still imprinted in his palm. He wondered what was wrong with himself. Why did he get so angry at Summer over a bracelet? He was like a stranger to himself.“Let’s go home,” Harry instructed the driver and closed his eyes. He had a headache thinking of Summer. -Summer kept the bracelet properly in her jewelry box once she reached her place. “Nathan, I will wear the bracelet soon… and never take it off again,” she murmured. Joyce would be tried two weeks later. She had asked for Lucas’s help to get the evidence of the car crash, and the Gerholds were watching over the case. The Scotts wouldn’t be able to tamper with the evidence easily this time. Joyce would definitely pay for her crimes!Meanwhile, Harry was in his study looking at a bunch of photos in his email. It was photos of him and S
In the photos, Summer's expression was calm, almost as if she didn’t have any feelings for Harry. It didn’t seem like she wanted to get back together with Harry as the comments online suggested. On the contrary, Harry looked like he was filled with jealousy as if he had been dumped by someone he loved dearly. The reporter wondered if Harry was still deeply in love with Summer. However, it was none of his business anyway. He was satisfied with the money he had gotten.-The day of the trial was getting closer. Summer knew that Lucas was leaving, so she especially saw him off with the Gerhold family at the airport.“Thanks for your help, Mr. Gomez.” Summer was grateful to Lucas. He had agreed to help her without any hesitation, and he also got Gary to testify in court. Summer might not have been able to do that if she had gone to see Gary herself. “You are Serenity’s friend. Of course, I’ll help you.” At the mention of Serenity’s name, Lucas wondered about her current condition. H
“Right,” North said and looked at Summer. “Why don’t you come with us? I would like to discuss what you said last time.” Summer’s eyes widened, and she smiled. “Sure.” Yelena looked at Summer, wanting to say something.When they arrived at the Gerhold residence, North dismissed the servants. Only the three of them were left in the living room. “Are you still planning to do what you mentioned previously?” North asked. “You don’t have to do so even if you feel indebted to Nathan.” North had hated Summer once. However, after seeing how hard she worked to find the truth behind the car accident, his hatred for her had faded unconsciously. The person he should hate now was Joyce. “I’m not doing this out of guilt, but because I… love Nathan,” Summer said softly. “It’s to make our wish come true.” “You’re still young and have plenty of time to find someone you love,” North said. Summer smiled bitterly. “Nathan was the only one who loved me the most in this world, and I don't want to lov
