โPerhaps Summer still doesnโt know about thisโฆโ Gilbert was nervous. He was afraid that Summer would not be able to accept the news. โHonestly, Jasper had dated a lot of women back then. She mustโve been mentally prepared for this.โ Adrian also felt troubled. Jasper was too immature back then. โฆโฆ At the mansion at the seasideโฆ โWhere did you go? Your body smells like alcoholโฆโ Before Natalie could finish speaking, Yadon pulled Natalie into his arms and embraced her before kissing her passionately. โWhatโs the matter?โ Natalie whispered when she could sense that something was off about Yadon. โIf you hate me, take as much revenge as you want on me, but please donโt leave me.โNatalie became silent for a long time. She then looked up and met Yadonโs gaze. โI 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.โโI donโt want you to be so considerate! Canโt you justโฆ 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. โFortunately your face isnโt hurt. You can still use your beautiful face to find a job,โ Summer chuckled. She placed the contract in front of Azula. โSign 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 encountersโฆ I canโt trust you completely.โIf the companyโs 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. โFrom 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
โIs Veronica not on duty today?โ Summer asked softly after she entered Jasperโs office. โShe took a few days of leave after my surgery. I approved it.โ 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. โSomeone followed me after I came out from my corporation today.โ Summer frowned. โIโm sure that was Veronica.โโIs she following you?โ Jasper stood up warily. He grabbed Summerโs wrist and looked at it. โNo. I immediately got into my car. Iโm looking for a bodyguard too, nowadays.โ 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. โIโll find Veronica.โโMaybe not now. Letโs see what she wants to do.โ Summer shook her
Yone was stunned. She did not expect Gilbert to talk about these things to her.โMyโฆ my father is quite soft by nature. When the loan sharks threatened our family, my fatherโฆโ Yone explained nervously. โYou should report it to the police, especially at times like this. Iโll help you,โ Gilbert said. โฆโฆ At the basement under the mansion at West City, Adrian felt troubled as he massaged the muscle between his eyebrows. โWhy is Gilbert being so stubborn?โShouldnโt he stop playing along with Yone? Not like heโll be taken advantage of. Heโs a man, after all. Why did he even talk about laws with a girl?โIt was obvious that this girl is up to no good. Gilbert would only make things worse.โHis actions would make Yone make a move in advance. โฆโฆ In the Shangri Club, Yone looked at Gilbert anxiously. โDid I accidentally expose a flaw?โโExcuse me, Chairman Coleman. I need to go to the washroom.โ Yoneโs 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 alsoโฆ 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.โHello? Jasper, IโฆโโWhere are you?โ Jasper asked warily before letting Adrian finish speaking.They were close friends. Naturally, he could recognize Adrianโs voice. He knew that something had happened. โHead over to Shangri Club! Something will happen to Gilbert.โ Adrian had a sudden thought that perhaps Yone was
The reason why she made up her mind to harm Gilbert was because she hated him for not listening to Adrian's explanation in the end and made him leave the country and die outside."Those people are also using you. Their purpose is to make you get rid of me, and then they will get rid of you when youโre a useless pawn. Their people have been eyeing us a long time ago, and Adrian has always been with me!" Gilbert coldly said as he grabbed Yone by the collar. "Youโd better pray that Adrian is okay.""Chairman Miller, thereโs someone fighting against those people. Dr. Adrian should have escaped, but we are still looking for where heโs specifically hiding." The assistant called Jasper."Keep looking, we must find him before those people do!"Jasper cussed under his breath and stepped on the accelerator anxiously.Yone had been crying all the time. She really did not know what to do. If Adrian was harmed because of her...She really had fallen in love with Adrian."Do you know where Ad
"Hurry, letโs leave!" Veronica nervously took Summer's hand, and forcefully pulled her away. Summer looked at Veronica in astonishment. "Why are you here..." "I..." Veronica was very nervous, as she was exposed in stalking Summer. "Don't hide it, I knew you were following me a long time ago." Summer stretched out her arm to grab Veronica and pulled her into the elevator. "Someone attacked me, go to the underground parking to take a look and call the police!" Summer rang the alarm bell and was a little angry. "How did this person enter the Plath Corporation? Do a thorough investigation!" She was attacked at her company before she even stepped out. "Why are you following me?" Summer looked back at Veronica. She was really vicious. That hit with a bat should not have killed him. "I..." Veronica lowered her head and looked at her hands nervously, not daring to speak. "Don't pretend to be so pitiful, you were pretty brave when you hit someone with a bat just now." Summer loo
Adrian ran away in a panic, then bumped into someoneโs arms with a bang. "You guys dare to lay a finger on him." Gilbert panicked and guarded Adrian behind him nervously. Fortunately, he rushed back in time. Adrian let out a sigh of relief, he was so frightened that his legs went weak. As he raised his head cautiously and looked at Jasper who was approaching him, he quickly avoided any eye contact. "Why, you dare not even look at me?" Jasper emanated a gloomy aura, as he stretched out his hand to pull Adrian aside. "Let's have a good chat." Adrian was very flustered, holding Gilbert's arm nervously, his eyes pleading for help. Gilbert also ignored Adrian, as he coldly looked at the few people that were already surrounded by Shangri Clubโs security team. "Who sent all of you here?" Gilbert asked coldly. The leader smiled and lit a cigarette. "Chairman Coleman, what's the matter? What did we do? This is Shangri Club, can't we come for some entertainment?" Gilbert frowned
โI just find it hard to accept the truth. I donโt actually hate youโฆโ After staying silent for a long time, Summer spoke again. โIt wasโฆ too sudden for me. Give me some time to process this.โMabel looked at her in shock and covered her mouth. โSumโฆโSummer smiled at her and said, โBefore Iโm able to completely accept it, can I continue to call you Madam?โMabel covered her mouth in panic and nodded vigorously. โSureโฆ Call me anything you wantโฆโShe actually never cared what Summer called her. It was good enough for her as long as she did not try to avoid her. โCan I hug you?โ Summer took the initiative and stretched out her arms. Jasper had told Summer quite a lot about Mabelโs 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 familyโs mansion. โWifeyโฆโ Jasper rushed over to her, wanting to give her a surprise. But instead, she did not react. Her face looked pale too. โWifey?โ He panicked and knelt in front of her. โSumโฆโHe truly panicked this time. โDid she find out about something that I did in the past and is now mad at me?โโJasper, do you care who my mother is?โ Summer asked softly. His heart stopped beating for a second. He felt both distressed and relieved. โNo, I donโt. I only care about you.โโWhy do I care so much, thenโฆโ Summer smiled and hugged him tightly. โI shouldnโt care about it tooโฆโโEveryone has something that they donโt have control over. Sum, go easy on yourself.โSummer 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.โSumโฆโ 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. โMadam, stop cooking. Come and eat,โ Summer called out to her softly. Mabel smiled at Summer as she emerged with her favorite dish, cinnamon-spiced beef stroganoff.โSum, letโs eat.โ 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. โSum, follow me.โ After dinner was over, he asked her to go to the study room. โIs Jasper treating you well?โ Alaric asked. โYes, heโs treating me well.โ She smiled. โIf Jasper hadn't been busy and gone to Mountain City, he would be sticking around, bothering me.โโHe 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.โโSum, thereโs something that Iโve been hiding from you. Youโve always wanted to know your biological mother, right?โ A
โMr. 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?โโI do,โ Jasper said the two words confidently.โIโm willing to take care of her and be by her side forever.โIโll always love her.โSheโll always be my number one.โโMs. 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?โโโฆ I do.โShe purposely hesitated for a long time. Jasper was so scared that his face turned pale.After she chuckled and said โI doโ, 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.โJasper!โJas
Benjamin rolled his eyes at Aaron. โI belong to the bride's side. You should go to Jasperโs side.โโHe doesnโt deserve it,โ Aaron said stubbornly.Summer covered her mouth and chuckled. Everyone was immersed in the festive atmosphere of the wedding.ใใโWouldnโt it be nice if we could stay this happy all the time?โโHey, should we play a prank on the groom tomorrow? Letโs spice things up a little!โ The bridesmaids started planning something.โYou guys better be careful. Youโre all pregnant. Donโt stir up too much chaos,โ Summer said with a smile. โSeriously, itโs as they say: women always side with their husbands once theyโre married. Look at you, youโre already siding with him.โ A few of them teased Summer. Summer blushed so hard that she could not say anything in response. โCongratulations, Sum.โHers and Jasperโs 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 Edwardโs mother because of her meeting with Hannaโs mother.She sat on the sofa and thought a lot. Would they get a divorce? Would Edwardโs father hate her because of this?Edward sat on the sofa and quietly accompanied his mother. โAbout this matter... Let's not tell Jen first. She may not be able to handle it.โEdwardโs mother nodded, in tears. Then, she shook her head. โIt was all my fault.โEdwardโs father finally came out of the study. Edward looked at his father nervously. He was afraid that his father would blame his mother.โI... 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!โ Edwardโs mother panicked and started crying. Edwardโs father walked to her side. He did not blame her, but passed her a tissue. โIs this how you should behave in front of your son? Stop crying.โEdwardโs mother sobb
โI deserve it!โNieva 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.โฆโฆ At the Reeves family house in Mountain City...โAre you Hanna Delacruz? Letโs talk.โEdwardโs father asked Hanna to go into the study, leaving Edward and his mother in the living room.โEdward, I already know about the issue concerning your father.โโMom...โ Edward felt a little guilty. โI know about everything.โ Edwardโs mother shook her head. โThis matter is related to your father and me. This is what owed Hannaโs mother, but if you two have to pay for our mistakes. We...โโMom, this is no oneโs fault.โ Edward shook his head. In the study...Edwardโs father asked Hanna to go into the room. His expression was dreary. โAre you Venusโ daughter?โโDo you still remember my mother?โ 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 Roseโs son, even if Rose had used a despicable way to give birth to him.โLetโs go home...โ Samson walked toward Charlie and rubbed his head.โSamson...โ Charlie lifted his head, and his eyes were red.โFrom now on, you have not just me, but your friends, younger brothers and sisters, and many older brothers and sisters who love you.โ 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 familyโs 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.โTsk, tsk, tsk. Do you know Aiden, who is always with Thomas?โ He was Summerโs 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.โJasper frowned. โSince he did not want to let Summer know about this, why is he making Summer more distressed?โJasper admired Aiden a lot because he never showed his love for Summer, but he had silently done many things for Summer.โJasper, you can just confess if youโre scared. You donโt have to put yourself in a higher status.โ Keane rolled his eyes.โFine, you will go to Country T for a business trip.โ Jasper was threatening Keane.โJasper, Iโm sorry, itโs my fault...โโฆ...The wedding was getting closer. Everyone was busy helping Jasper and Summer with their wedding.โLook at the dresses and gowns for my grandchildren.
