Jasper got a call from Yadon. He rushed to the hospital once he settled his matters in Miller Corporation. “Grandpa is not looking good.” Yadon shook his head. His face was so pale that it was obvious he had not had proper rest in days. Jasper did not speak much. He raised his hand and patted Yadon’s shoulder. “Didn’t they say his illness isn’t that serious? Is it something to do with the hospital?” Holton frowned. He deliberately blew up the problem because he was young and inexperienced. “Holton, don’t go looking for trouble out of nothing.” Donald, the third uncle of the Caballero family, was emitting a cold aura. ‘What great timing that the old man dies at a time like this. They’re definitely feeling guilty. ‘The old man once told Yadon to hand over the Caballero corporation back to him during a family dinner because he married Natalie. It’s a good thing that he has passed away before he has the chance to change his mind. ‘Since he’s dead, Yadon will have no choice b
"You! I’m definitely going to..." Donald's face turned dark. He coughed for a long time as he got sprayed in the face with a fire extinguisher."I don’t care who you are. This is a hospital, you’re at the intensive care unit. It's wrong for you to smoke here!" the young nurse said angrily as she put her hands on her hips.Jasper suppressed his laughter, but the corners of his lips turned up. This young nurse was pretty cool. Yadon raised his hand and rubbed his forehead. He tried hard not to laugh hard, Donald had never suffered such unfair treatment."Donald, you better go home quickly. Grandpa's matter has not been dealt with clearly. We need to coordinate with the hospital to investigate the situation," Yadon said plainly."Investigate what?! There’s nothing else to be investigated!" Upon hearing that Yadon wanted to conduct an investigation, the look on Donald’s face instantly changed."Don't you think that grandpa's death is strange? The hospital called me last night and sa
"I have already asked people to acquire Fortunata’s shares, and Yadon will soon be able to resolve the internal disputes of the Caballero family. We have won the first battle, although we have also suffered a smaller but comparable level of damage." Gilbert looked out the window profoundly. This time they made Rose sulk, but they were afraid that a bigger storm would strike. If he did not deal with it properly, he would need to more or less pay the price. The last thing Gilbert wanted to see was Rose hurting the people around him. "Don't worry, we will all be here working together. Even if those people are in the dark, they definitely don’t have as many people as us." Adrian put down his phone and walked to Gilbert's side. "No one will be a weakness, none of us are easy to bully. If they bully us again, cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war!" "The dogs of war meaning yourself?" Gilbert raised the corner of his mouth and raised his eyebrows. "Gilbert! I'll kill you first!" Ad
Yadon was never an idiot nor a pushover. There was no doubt about this. He could survive in a place where even his family had to fight each other for the family business. Being in charge of the family business for so many years, he had his own capabilities. It was just that sometimes things were in contradiction to each other. When we want family affection, we would not be able to get power. If we want power, we will lose family affection. The family had already turned into enemies because of the benefits. Yadon did not know if Donald had even a trace of guilt when he asked someone to pull out his grandfather's oxygen mask. Even if he knew that his grandfather could not last long, he still had to bear the guilt and regret for a lifetime since he knew about it beforehand. Some people are born to be redeemed, and some people were born to redeem their sins. "Holton, go study abroad." The dust had settled, Donald was in jail. Now the entire Caballero family was completely i
"Bang!" He threw his reports aside. Jasper felt that he really could not focus on work anymore. He took out his mobile phone and repeatedly looked at the videos and photos Keane sent to him, and finally realized the sadness of a lonely man. If his wife did not forgive him, his son would also reject him in the future, it was terrible just thinking about it. "Jasper, I've been back for quite some time now, would you please treat me to dinner tonight?" Keane complained and placed a contract on the table. "I’ve settled matters in Country T. With my wife there, there won’t be a problem." Jasper replied absent-mindedly. It was a little perfunctory. Keane rolled his eyes. What kind of person was he? "All the clues you could find led to a dead end when you arrived in Country T?" Jasper rubbed his forehead and put his phone aside. "Well, Elly had been keeping an eye on there for so long, there’s still no movement." Keane nodded. Jasper did not say much. "This matter can't be rus
Keane did not want to pay attention to the drunk Jasper, it was too embarrassing. When Jasper drank too much, he started to rant and lay on the ground. "I want Summer..." "Be quiet!" Summer suddenly had a throbbing ache in her temples. She was afraid that the neighbors would come out to watch. She gave a kick to Jasper's ass and dragged him up. "Let’s go back to the room, you’re so dirty." Jasper's body stiffened as he stared at Summer carefully. "Are you my wife?" "No!" Summer felt that Jasper was so embarrassing, and the contrast when he was sober versus when he was drunk was too great. "Am I dreaming?" Jasper stood up obediently and followed Summer. Even if he thought he was dreaming, he was still very well-behaved. Summer raised the corner of her mouth, led him to the bathroom, took off his clothes and threw it outside. "You’re so dirty." "Wifey, I’m dreaming, right?" Jasper just stood there very obediently. This must definitely be a dream. Summer could not possib
Jasper turned on the tap and washed his face with cold water.He was blackout drunk last night and had no idea who helped him to change his clothes. His body was unusually dry and refreshed. He thought that after he woke up and regained his consciousness, his hallucination of Summer would be gone. But after he washed up, Jasper was so shocked that his face turned pale. On the large bed, Summer was only wearing halter pajamas. She was so beautiful that he thought that he was dreaming. “Mom!“Mom!“Mom!”Jasper walked down the stairs and shouted for Melody.“What? You’re an adult now. Don’t keep on calling me mom. You make me sound older.” Melody was unhappy, all while she had a mask on her face. “Mom, Summer...?” Jasper pointed at the top floor. Before he finished asking Melody, he saw Meggie coming out with his son in her arms. He pinched himself hard and could not trust his own eyes. “Mom, am I dreaming?”“You’re not dreaming. You’re totally fine. Sum is back. I’m
“Jasper, are you crazy?” Summer had some difficulty breathing in her sleep. When she opened her eyes, she saw herself being tightly hugged by Jasper. She could hardly breathe. “Are you trying to kill me?” Summer woke up madly and agitatedly pushed Jasper away.Jasper was shocked and immediately let go of Summer. He lay in his arms, watching Summer turn around and continue to sleep.Summer rested for a while and could not sleep again. “Do you keep staring at me sleeping?”Jasper nodded. “Are you crazy? How can I sleep if you keep staring at me?” Summer pushed him away. “Okay, I will leave now. You can sleep for a little more.” Jasper had not woken up from this good moment, but he was afraid that he had offended Summer and she would run away again. “Sum, you can sleep more. Can I wake up to cook you the porridge?” Jasper felt that he was too lowly.‘Just take it as a way to keep my wifey. It’s really...”“I don’t want to eat. Don’t move. Stop staring at me. I want to sleep f
“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.
