How could Jasper put her in the same vein as Veronica?“I had asked someone to investigate you for a long time. There is nothing suspicious about Veronica when it comes to her family or education background. She was not in contact with anyone either. She just stole the top secret of the company and posted them on the internet without spreading it to anyone who tried to use it for revenge in terms of business... This means that she did this on her own will without being instructed by anyone else.” Jasper felt a little puzzled too. ‘Veronica had plastic surgeries since she was a teenager, and surprisingly, no one supported her financially?’Veronica’s family condition was just average. Each of her plastic surgeries would cost a few ten thousand or a few hundred thousand dollars. ‘Where did she get the money?’“Or is it because I am too attractive?” Jasper said narcissistically. Summer was stunned for a while. She did not say sarcastic words to him, which was rare.After looking at
“Chairman Miller, you’re amazing. You sure have a lot of women, huh?” Summer was a little mad. It was obvious that Jasper was trying to think whether he had any relationship with Veronica or not. “In the past, I...” Jasper dared not explain. He was scared that Summer would get mad. Furthermore, she was pregnant now, and her temper was even more unstable. According to his assistant’s investigation, Veronica started to go for plastic surgery during junior high school, and she had indeed tried to make herself look like Victoria. She looked so natural after the plastic surgery, and no one could tell that she had plastic surgery before. She had lived with this face for four to five years. If he really had met Victoria in the past when she had those looks, he would definitely be interested in her.But Jasper did not remember her. Was it because he had too many women in his past?“What are you recalling? Trying to think how many women you had before?” Summer was mad and gritted her
Adrian believed that Gilbert would not fall in love with Yone because of her looks. After all, the apple of someone’s eye could only remain as such, something precious that could not be obtained.Only if they were truly together and had gone through some stuff together would they become a permanent fixture in each other’s hearts. Then, their hold could not be removed. Moreover, Adrian was confident in himself. Gilbert had become gay because of him. So, he probably would not be looking for other women anymore, right?All men were aggressive animals. “I heard that Jasper is your childhood best friend, and both of you even wear the same pants.” Gilbert narrowed his eyes and stated.Adrian looked helpless. “From whom did you hear this from? I only have this one best friend. Are you…? Jasper is a straight guy.”“Previously, you were not fond of Summer, but Jasper, right?” Gilbert asked softly.Adrian’s heart clenched a little, and he looked surprised. “What are you thinking? I’m
“Perhaps Summer still doesn’t know about this…” Gilbert was nervous. He was afraid that Summer would not be able to accept the news. “Honestly, Jasper had dated a lot of women back then. She must’ve been mentally prepared for this.” Adrian also felt troubled. Jasper was too immature back then. …… At the mansion at the seaside… “Where did you go? Your body smells like alcohol…” Before Natalie could finish speaking, Yadon pulled Natalie into his arms and embraced her before kissing her passionately. “What’s the matter?” Natalie whispered when she could sense that something was off about Yadon. “If you hate me, take as much revenge as you want on me, but please don’t leave me.”Natalie became silent for a long time. She then looked up and met Yadon’s gaze. “I hated you, but that was just for a while. Everything that I had experienced is all on me. They have nothing to do with you, so I have no right to hate you.”“I don’t want you to be so considerate! Can’t you just… hate m
Azula was not seriously injured. She only suffered from a mild concussion. She was discharged after a few days of getting IV treatment. “Fortunately your face isn’t hurt. You can still use your beautiful face to find a job,” Summer chuckled. She placed the contract in front of Azula. “Sign the contract again. I'm going to have to state everything clearly first before we talk about anything else. This is a contract after all. Considering our past encounters… I can’t trust you completely.”If the company’s painstakingly cultivated artists quit, get married, or get pregnant wherever they want, the company would not function smoothly. Azula was full of potential. She was one of the most influential women in Sea City.Azula looked at the contact. Her penalty had been paid triple its original amount.She smiled helplessly. ‘From the beginning, I only became an artist to protect myself. I never expected to earn money from this career. I understand what Summer is worried about. Rose wil
“Is Veronica not on duty today?” Summer asked softly after she entered Jasper’s office. “She took a few days of leave after my surgery. I approved it.” Jasper nodded. What he did to Veronica before his surgery must have triggered her in some way or another. Veronica was living with a split personality. After having a conflict between the primary and secondary personalities, she indeed needed some time off to make her own decisions. “Someone followed me after I came out from my corporation today.” Summer frowned. “I’m sure that was Veronica.’“Is she following you?” Jasper stood up warily. He grabbed Summer’s wrist and looked at it. “No. I immediately got into my car. I’m looking for a bodyguard too, nowadays.” Summer has become smarter. It would be better for her to find a bodyguard, otherwise, her safety would not be guaranteed. Jasper let out a sigh of relief. His expression darkened. “I’ll find Veronica.”“Maybe not now. Let’s see what she wants to do.” Summer shook her
Yone was stunned. She did not expect Gilbert to talk about these things to her.“My… my father is quite soft by nature. When the loan sharks threatened our family, my father…” Yone explained nervously. “You should report it to the police, especially at times like this. I’ll help you,” Gilbert said. …… At the basement under the mansion at West City, Adrian felt troubled as he massaged the muscle between his eyebrows. ‘Why is Gilbert being so stubborn?‘Shouldn’t he stop playing along with Yone? Not like he’ll be taken advantage of. He’s a man, after all. Why did he even talk about laws with a girl?‘It was obvious that this girl is up to no good. Gilbert would only make things worse.’His actions would make Yone make a move in advance. …… In the Shangri Club, Yone looked at Gilbert anxiously. ‘Did I accidentally expose a flaw?’“Excuse me, Chairman Coleman. I need to go to the washroom.” Yone’s face became pale as she turned and headed to the washroom. She then nervously
For a moment, Adrian wondered if there were two different groups of masterminds behind the incident. Some were attacking the Coleman family, while others were protecting it.For instance, in the Sea City uproar this time, everyone thought David hated Coleman Corporation and that he would sabotage it. However, Miller Corporation and Ocean Shipyard Corporation drew everyone's attention away. On the contrary, no one did anything to Coleman Corporation at all.Gilbert was not only unaffected by this incident, but he also… benefited from it.Bang!Adrian pushed open the basement door. He found a mask and a hat that he could wear temporarily. He then walked out hurriedly.“Hello? Jasper, I…”“Where are you?” Jasper asked warily before letting Adrian finish speaking.They were close friends. Naturally, he could recognize Adrian’s voice. He knew that something had happened. “Head over to Shangri Club! Something will happen to Gilbert.” Adrian had a sudden thought that perhaps Yone was
“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.
