Adrian furrowed his eyebrows and stared suspiciously at Victoria. His gaze then fell upon Summer.“Who…who is she…” There was a tremble in Victoria’s voice as she asked Jasper that.Jasper furrowed his eyebrows. He thought that Victoria was questioning his relationship with Summer. “Vic, I’ve already explained this to you. She’s just a sugar baby I kept in one of my mansions. I no longer keep in touch with her.”“Summer… Summer Plath? You are Summer Plath?” Victoria asked nervously. A chill was running down her spine as she clutched her hands together.Summer took a step backward without being aware of it. She was tremendously terrified.Jasper had threatened her before that if she appeared before Victoria and upset her… Things would not go down well for her.“N-no…” Summer was almost in tears as she shook her head. She wanted to deny the relationship between her and Jasper, but she could not bring herself to do it.She really loved this man, after all.Why was he so cruel to
Jasper had sent Victoria back home. On his way back, his cell phone had started ringing. It was a number that was unfamiliar to him.“Hello?”“Jaz… Jaz, save-”*Slam!* Before Summer could even finish speaking, Jasper had hung up out of frustration.Victoria had been distracted ever since she had seen Summer earlier.What a stupid idiot. He had already warned Summer before to not show up in front of Victoria and upset her.At the Dawn family’s mansion.“Vic, did Jasper agree to help your dad out regarding the problem with our company’s funding?”Mrs. Dawn asked in a worried tone as soon as she saw that Victoria had come back.Victoria was clearly distracted as she walked straight toward her room. Not saying a single thing, she shut her door with a bang.“What’s up with this girl?”......Victoria’s face was becoming paler and paler, and her hands were trembling as she hugged herself tightly. She sat on the floor in an agitated manner.It was impossible. It was impossible fo
“Could it be that she’s dead?” A young hooligan, who had been the gutsiest among all of them, asked fearfully.The rest of the hooligans freaked out too. They threw the butts of cigarettes on the back of Summer’s hands and quickly fled.Summer’s steps were weak as she returned to her rented place, and she fearfully locked the door from the inside.The room looked a lot different now. There were new sheets and a new blanket on the bed, and the glass window had already been fixed. There was even an air-conditioner.The room was slightly warmer than before.Summer was at a loss for what to do as she stood rooted to the spot, and it was getting harder and harder for her to stop her tears from rolling down her cheeks.Even the doctor who had only met her a few times cared for her. Why… Why was Jasper not willing to treat her better?She just wanted him to treat her a little better...Just a little better… She would be satisfied with that?Why...What did she lack?In the end, Sum
Summer froze for a moment, and her eyes were filled with tears as she raised her head to look at Jasper.“I didn’t, but on my way home…” Summer tried to explain things.“What’s with your forehead?” Jasper furrowed his eyebrows. He had just noticed the bruise on Summer’s forehead.“N-nothing. It’s nothing. I injured myself.” Summer stuttered as she lowered her head. She no longer wanted to explain things to Jasper.Because it would be meaningless.“Heh, it seems that you’ve managed to get into Adrian’s good books. This place is pretty well-equipped now.” After shutting the metal door, Jasper glanced at his surroundings in disdain, and his gaze became increasingly icy.Summer’s head was lowered, and she said nothing.“Until the baby is born, you’ll have to stay here obediently. If you upset Victoria again by letting her see you, I’ll chase you out of Sea City. Do you understand?”There was a hint of warning in Jasper’s voice as he gripped Summer’s chin and forced her to look up a
Summer trembled increasingly violently. She no longer believed in whatever Jasper was saying.“Jaz, go ahead and marry Victoria… I won’t disturb you guys. I don’t mind staying anywhere with the baby. I’ll be able to support myself and the baby,” Summer said in a soft voice as she leaned against Jasper’s chest. She was trembling more and more violently.“Sleep!” Jasper said in agitation and covered Summer with the chilly blanket.For some reason, he did not want to tell Summer that he would be giving the baby to Victoria after she gave birth to it.From then onward, the baby would have nothing to do with her.“Jaz, aren’t you leaving?” Summer looked at Jasper in shock. Was he not planning to bully her today?Jasper froze for a moment. Why would he not leave? Why would he stay in this horrible rented house? Had he gone crazy?Summer’s bright eyes slowly dimmed, and she bit her lower lip self-deprecatingly.Why would he stay here?*Bang!* Jasper slammed the door shut after switch
He opened the glass door, but there was no one outside.Samson raised his hand to massage the space between his brows, and he felt tired as he leaned against the wall outside the door and lit a cigarette.It was as if he had been under a spell lately. He often had hallucinations.“How dare that thief come and ask for the pendant!? She has some serious guts.”“That woman looked quite innocent and pretty. I’m sure she’s able to get a job. Why would she have to resort to being a thief?”The shop assistants were gossiping as they talked amongst each other.Samson tossed the cigarette butt into the trash can, and walked over to the shop assistants, emanating an extremely cold aura as he did so.“What are you guys talking about?”The shop assistants were trembling in terror, they were anxious as they raised their heads to look up at Samson.The man had an aura that was intensely domineering, and they did not even dare try taking a second glance at him. They felt as though their hear
Summer froze for a moment, and she clutched the fabric of her pants tightly. “No, Jasper did give me money, but I’ve been vomiting a lot, so I haven’t had any appetite.”“No appetite? Don’t you want your baby anymore?” Adrian furrowed his eyebrows, and he was speaking in an accusatory tone.Summer slowly lowered her head as she did not want Adrian to see the tears that were welling up in her eyes. “Doctor, thank you so much. You’re a good person.”Even though Adrian often teased her, he never bullied her for real.“Me? I’m definitely not a good person.” Adrian froze for a moment before chuckling.A good person? Only idiots would think that he was a good person.“Take good care of yourself, silly woman.” Adrian shook his head. He then turned and left.Jasper had always been cruel toward women he did not love. As Jasper’s friend, he was extremely used to this.But for some reason, he felt that Jasper should not be treating Summer this way.After Adrian left, Summer opened the nu
Summer’s fair face was horribly swollen, and she was so frightened that she kept inching backward.“Stop embarrassing yourself here and get your a*s home!” Jasper clenched his fists, and his words were laced with threats.Summer lowered her gaze to look at her feet and bit her lower lip. “Sorry, I’ll immediately…”If she knew that Jasper and Victoria would be here, she definitely would not have come.Jasper intended to send Summer home without even thinking twice of it, but Victoria quickly walked over to Jasper and grabbed his arm. “Jasper, a lot of people are watching. It would be bad for you if others were to find out that you’re related to a waitress…”Jasper glanced at Victoria and ignored Summer from then on.“Jasper, why don’t you talk to Mr. Ardly for a moment? I need to head to the washroom.” Victoria’s gaze darkened as she stared after Summer.At the garden of the hotel.Summer stumbled out of the banquet hall and was trembling as she sat on a bench.She was not stup
