“This woman is not that simple. She’s still standing strong even though she faces several adversaries. I used to hold back solely because she’s Mr. Samson Ardly’s mother. But currently, she doesn’t even spare her son at all.”Rose was now mainly targeting Samson's SN Holdings. Samson was the only person who could push Rose to the end of her ropes. “Samson?” Summer asked nervously. “Samson’s mother…” Things would indeed be a bit difficult to deal with now. “Anyway, don’t worry. Mr. Ardly takes the overall situation into account. He says he doesn’t have a mother, only a father who died from cancer.” Wade had figured out what Summer was up to.Summer nodded. ‘Good to know.’“Why is Azula one of the artists in our corporation?” Summer took a brief look at the information in her hand. She knew Natalie was in the corporation. But Azula too?“You recommended her to join the corporation.” Wade was a little puzzled. Summer paused for a moment as she narrowed her eyes. ‘Ah yes, I
Summer sat by the table anxiously. It was obvious that something happened to Azula. Those people wanted to get rid of Azula because there was no way David could turn the tides.Such irony.“What’s wrong?” Jasper asked softly as he came from the recreational area after noticing Summer did not come out of her office for a long time.“Something happened to Azula.” Summer was worried. “She’s one of our artists after all. If anything happens to her, it will impact the corporation negatively. Rose must be waiting for this chance to trample on us.”“This is their typical trick. I guess Rose sent people to fake Azula’s death. They’ll leave a suicide note, and then take the opportunity to push all the blame to you.” Jasper nodded. He was not as worried, he just analyzed the situation.“What should we do then?” Summer stood up abruptly. She felt movement in her stomach. Jasper was so startled that he immediately embraced Summer. He did not wish to see Summer hurt herself because of unim
“Let me go! I want to meet Rose, I want to see her! I have her evidence in my hand. If you guys kill me, I’ll never let her go. Never!” Azula panicked as her voice trembled terribly. The several people looked at each other, then sneered, “We don’t know what you’re talking about. Our only task is to kill you.”They were wearing white gloves as they lifted Azula’s arms and pulled her up. “Don’t worry. It won’t hurt. We’ll fake your death, make it look like you committed suicide…”They took a towel and covered Azula’s mouth. When Azula lost her ability to resist them, they shoved her into her own car and started a fire. Azula watched the men in horror as they stepped on her car accelerator and put her car in gear. Her eyes filled with panic. She could neither move nor resist… She was still conscious but she could not control her movements. ‘Who would be able to save me now? Who?’Tears streamed down from the corner of her eyes as she felt regretful. She was initially just a
"Seems like you’re worried about her. When Azula wakes up later, I'll say you’re the one who saved her. Then, she can devote herself totally to you." Summer said coldly.Jasper felt troubled. Summer was getting more fluent in Sea City’s dialect; she was even effectively using sarcasm now."I have no relationship whatsoever with Azula!" Jasper swore."As if anyone would believe in your words!" Summer snorted and walked straight to the ward.All of Jasper’s efforts had gone down the drain, and he was back at square one. He had no choice but to suffer in silence.When Azula woke up in the ward, she had a terrible headache. She glanced sideways at Summer as her heart clenched. "You were the one who saved me?""Do you think I look like Superman?" Summer pointed to her belly.Azula looked nervously at Jasper at the door. Her heart clenched even more. "Then, it’s him?"Summer glanced at Jasper and sneered. "He really wanted to save you, but he wasn’t able to despite his wishes."Azul
"Moreover! Do you know how much it costs for the company to train a new person? No way, I have to make Yadon pay up!" Summer became angrier as she spoke.Jasper narrowed his eyes and pinched Summer's chin. "I have a way to make him pay up."Summer rolled her eyes at Jasper. "You just need to pretend that you don't know that Natalie is pregnant, immediately arrange her to work with other male artists, and then introduce her to all kinds of people. I guarantee that Yadon will find you in person and pay you double the penalty." Jasper smiled cunningly.Summer rolled her eyes at Jasper again. "Are you really brothers?"They must be frenemies."Short reckonings make long friends. He made my wife angry, so he should go bankrupt to prevent disasters from happening." Jasper tried to please her."Ocean Shipyard Corporation is already facing such financial difficulty, and you still want to swindle his money." Summer narrowed her eyes. "Believe it or not, I'm going to sue Yadon now and dr
"What's wrong? Are you not happy?" Yadon came out of the kitchen, carrying the washed fruits.Natalie looked up at Yadon and felt things were a little unreal.In the past… this man had never been in the kitchen.Somewhat a little ironic, yet also a little dreamlike, Natalie felt an indescribable feeling."I want to attend the school’s graduation ceremony." Natalie said in a low voice. She obviously sounded a little down."What did Summer talk to you about today?" Yadon asked in a low voice, doing his best to treat Natalie well.He did not know why he could not provide the sense of security that Natalie wanted.Was it because he had gone too far before, or was it because there was already a rift between the two of them? Natalie forgave him and agreed to stay by his side.However, he had also planned to keep her by marriage.But in this way, will Natalie really be happy? And did she really forgive him?Some pain, even if she said that she had forgiven, would still be remember
"I... miss you." On the other side of the video call, it was Elly's voice."Then, tell me that you love me, that you love me the most." Keane tried to push his luck, and deliberately tortured the two other bitter souls.Yadon glared at Jasper, who shrugged. "I don't know who this person is or who called him over.""I called him to come..."Yadon felt that he had dug a pit for himself."I love you! I love you the most, come back home soon!" Elly looked helpless."Muack!" Keane hung up with a giddy look, looking happier than a person winning a five million lottery ticket. "My two brothers, why are both of you looking so down?"Only then did he realize the gloomy aura of Jasper and Yadon. Keane sat beside Jasper without any fear of death and stretched his hand out to hug his shoulder. "Jasper, were you kicked out by your wife?""I just thought that the three of us could sympathize with each other, so I called all of us out to have a drink together." Yadon coughed dryly to lighten
"We are all considered to be scheming against each other at best. He schemed more than I." Gilbert smiled and looked at Jasper. "If two people love each other enough, it will definitely not simply be just someone scheming one-sidedly. More or less... the other side would also be scheming against you, but the other does it to keep you." Jasper and Yadon looked like they did not want to talk. Summer and Natalie had never schemed against them to stay by their side. "Ask both of them to leave. Let's drink." Yadon pointed at Keane and Gilbert. "Jasper, both of you can form a group, and you can call it the remorseful scumbag group." Keane glanced at Jasper as he spoke the truth. He jumped away to avoid getting beaten up and kept a distance away from Yadon and Jasper. Jasper glared at Keane, then looked at Yadon. Obviously Yadon was more furious than he was. According to the family values that he grew up with, he could go around flirting before he got married. But once he decides
“I just find it hard to accept the truth. I don’t actually hate you…” After staying silent for a long time, Summer spoke again. “It was… too sudden for me. Give me some time to process this.”Mabel looked at her in shock and covered her mouth. “Sum…”Summer smiled at her and said, “Before I’m able to completely accept it, can I continue to call you Madam?”Mabel covered her mouth in panic and nodded vigorously. “Sure… Call me anything you want…”She actually never cared what Summer called her. It was good enough for her as long as she did not try to avoid her. “Can I hug you?” Summer took the initiative and stretched out her arms. Jasper had told Summer quite a lot about Mabel’s family. Her family was in a very scary place. They started falling into decadence in the later years. In fact, they started showing signs of having a lack of sons. Every leader of the family became anxious about who the next leader would be. They were so worried about who would be the head of the family
Without realizing it, Summer had subconsciously returned to the Miller family’s mansion. “Wifey…” Jasper rushed over to her, wanting to give her a surprise. But instead, she did not react. Her face looked pale too. “Wifey?” He panicked and knelt in front of her. “Sum…”He truly panicked this time. ‘Did she find out about something that I did in the past and is now mad at me?’“Jasper, do you care who my mother is?” Summer asked softly. His heart stopped beating for a second. He felt both distressed and relieved. “No, I don’t. I only care about you.”“Why do I care so much, then…” Summer smiled and hugged him tightly. “I shouldn’t care about it too…”“Everyone has something that they don’t have control over. Sum, go easy on yourself.”Summer lay on top of him, picked up the glass of red wine on the table, and drank it.Jasper just realized that she smelled strongly of alcohol.“Sum…” He was a little worried. His heart ached for her too, but he also wanted to let her be.
Mabel was cooking in the kitchen of the Plath family's mansion. “Madam, stop cooking. Come and eat,” Summer called out to her softly. Mabel smiled at Summer as she emerged with her favorite dish, cinnamon-spiced beef stroganoff.“Sum, let’s eat.” Mabel treated her really well. She helped her with the dishes.Summer was also already used to it. She no longer felt shy. It was natural to her already. Alaric looked at Summer and smiled plainly. “Sum, follow me.” After dinner was over, he asked her to go to the study room. “Is Jasper treating you well?” Alaric asked. “Yes, he’s treating me well.” She smiled. ‘If Jasper hadn't been busy and gone to Mountain City, he would be sticking around, bothering me.’“He pushed back too much work to get ready for the wedding. He wants to finish making work arrangements as soon as possible and go on a honeymoon with me.”“Sum, there’s something that I’ve been hiding from you. You’ve always wanted to know your biological mother, right?” A
“Mr. Jasper Miller, do you take Summer Plath as your lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?”“I do,” Jasper said the two words confidently.‘I’m willing to take care of her and be by her side forever.‘I’ll always love her.‘She’ll always be my number one.’“Ms. Summer Plath, do you take Jasper Miller as your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?”“… I do.”She purposely hesitated for a long time. Jasper was so scared that his face turned pale.After she chuckled and said ‘I do’, he gritted his teeth, pulled her into his embrace, and kissed her.He kissed Summer even before the officiant had asked him to kiss the bride.She was so embarrassed by the kiss that her ears turned red.“Jasper!”Jas
Benjamin rolled his eyes at Aaron. “I belong to the bride's side. You should go to Jasper’s side.”“He doesn’t deserve it,” Aaron said stubbornly.Summer covered her mouth and chuckled. Everyone was immersed in the festive atmosphere of the wedding. ‘Wouldn’t it be nice if we could stay this happy all the time?’“Hey, should we play a prank on the groom tomorrow? Let’s spice things up a little!” The bridesmaids started planning something.“You guys better be careful. You’re all pregnant. Don’t stir up too much chaos,” Summer said with a smile. “Seriously, it’s as they say: women always side with their husbands once they’re married. Look at you, you’re already siding with him.” A few of them teased Summer. Summer blushed so hard that she could not say anything in response. “Congratulations, Sum.”Hers and Jasper’s friends and relatives came one after another. All of them would be attending the wedding ceremony tomorrow afternoon. Edward would be there with Trent too.
After all, this matter was related to Edward’s mother because of her meeting with Hanna’s mother.She sat on the sofa and thought a lot. Would they get a divorce? Would Edward’s father hate her because of this?Edward sat on the sofa and quietly accompanied his mother. “About this matter... Let's not tell Jen first. She may not be able to handle it.”Edward’s mother nodded, in tears. Then, she shook her head. “It was all my fault.”Edward’s father finally came out of the study. Edward looked at his father nervously. He was afraid that his father would blame his mother.“I... I really did not know anything about it. I just thought she lived a difficult life. I felt guilty, so I asked someone to send her some money. I did not know what happened to her after that!” Edward’s mother panicked and started crying. Edward’s father walked to her side. He did not blame her, but passed her a tissue. “Is this how you should behave in front of your son? Stop crying.”Edward’s mother sobb
“I deserve it!”Nieva was brought away by the police. She should have expected that this was the consequence of offending Jasper.Jasper was busy with the wedding and he did not care much about her. Otherwise, she might have gone through worse than being arrested.…… At the Reeves family house in Mountain City...“Are you Hanna Delacruz? Let’s talk.”Edward’s father asked Hanna to go into the study, leaving Edward and his mother in the living room.“Edward, I already know about the issue concerning your father.”“Mom...” Edward felt a little guilty. “I know about everything.” Edward’s mother shook her head. “This matter is related to your father and me. This is what owed Hanna’s mother, but if you two have to pay for our mistakes. We...”“Mom, this is no one’s fault.” Edward shook his head. In the study...Edward’s father asked Hanna to go into the room. His expression was dreary. “Are you Venus’ daughter?”“Do you still remember my mother?” Hanna smiled and kept a stra
Samson nodded as he watched Rose leaving.Charlie ran out of the courtyard and stood still. He looked a little distressed.He was just a child...Perhaps it was because he had a mother who set up a scheme against him and used him as a chess piece that he was more mature than other children.In the past, he wanted to live. He wanted not just to live but to prevent his mother from setting up a scheme against him.He was still Rose’s son, even if Rose had used a despicable way to give birth to him.“Let’s go home...” Samson walked toward Charlie and rubbed his head.“Samson...” Charlie lifted his head, and his eyes were red.“From now on, you have not just me, but your friends, younger brothers and sisters, and many older brothers and sisters who love you.” Samson smiled at Charlie.Everyone could be redemption for other people, and other people could be their redemption, too.Charlie nodded and ran back to the Miller family’s mansion.Melody was carrying her grandchildren and
Jasper did not care whether Thomas intended to hurt Summer or not.As long as Summer was shocked, he would not allow it.“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Do you know Aiden, who is always with Thomas?” He was Summer’s childhood friend. Summer did not know that Aiden was secretly protecting her. He was seriously injured and almost lost his life many times because of Summer.”Jasper frowned. “Since he did not want to let Summer know about this, why is he making Summer more distressed?”Jasper admired Aiden a lot because he never showed his love for Summer, but he had silently done many things for Summer.“Jasper, you can just confess if you’re scared. You don’t have to put yourself in a higher status.” Keane rolled his eyes.“Fine, you will go to Country T for a business trip.” Jasper was threatening Keane.“Jasper, I’m sorry, it’s my fault...”…...The wedding was getting closer. Everyone was busy helping Jasper and Summer with their wedding.“Look at the dresses and gowns for my grandchildren.
