“He is very cautious, and he is confident about getting rid of anyone who meets him, otherwise those people would stand together with him.” Through the phone, Josse sighed. ‘Gilbert... is quite nice overall. What a pity.’“Have you seen him? Do you suspect anyone?” Adrian’s voice was hoarse and he almost lost his voice. “You can go and investigate. Ten years ago, someone tried to commit suicide in the headquarters of Coleman Corporation. It was a woman. She was pregnant and carrying twins.” Josse was just trying to give Adrian a direction for his investigation. “You can try to investigate it. I had investigated this matter before but all the clues were completely removed by someone. But it seemed more suspicious since the records were so clean.”Adrian clenched his phone tightly and took a deep breath. “Have you taken a look at the report that I sent back?”“You little brat...” Josse was a little mad, but he sighed because there was nothing he could do. ‘He went abroad and ado
Melody did not want to disturb her. She took Little Chestnut from her early in the morning for breakfast. She must have been really tired. She did not even realize that her child was taken away. “Mother, did Jasper come home last night?” Summer looked around. She felt that someone came home last night. Who else could it be other than Jasper?After all, the community and their security at home was pretty tight. Even a fly would have a hard time trying to intrude. It must be Jasper. Melody shook her head. “I don’t know. I was already asleep. Did Jasper come home last night?”“Ma’am, Jasper came back around midnight.” The nanny nodded. “But he said not to disturb you and Summer. He told me to make sure both of you have a good rest before he took something and left.”Deep in Summer’s heart, she felt sorry for him. The pressure from all the things that happened over this period of time was on him. Her father was handling Coleman Corporation, but no one could replace him to settl
“Natalie, be good. Let's go back and rest. Be good…” Summer hugged Natalie tightly as she spoke in a choked voice. “Sum, I want to see Yadon.” Natalie patted Summer’s back. “Okay, let's go see him.” Summer was truly afraid that Natalie would have thoughts of harming herself because of her miscarriage and losing the chance of being a mother ever again. …… At Miller’s Corporation… “Chairman Miller, please take a break. It has been so long since… you’ve taken a break.” The assistant felt sorry for him. Jasper’s body must have been overwhelmed from not getting enough rest for so long. Jasper shook his head as he raised his hand to massage the muscle between his eyebrows.‘How can I rest now?‘There are so many pending things that I need to settle. With Yadon still being unconscious, I need to take care of his matters.‘The Caballero family is finally in Yadon’s hands. If he does not wake up, the family would be abandoned.‘The best plan is to give Holton support.’“Chairm
It was as if he wanted to either kill them or warn them.If they knew what was going on, good for them. If they did not know, they might end up like Gilbert.“This matter must not be taken lightly…” Samson’s voice was hoarse. He did not want to think of it either. “There’s someone who can help us investigate… or at least guide us.”Jasper frowned. ‘Who is it?’“Ace.” ‘With Ace’s capabilities, he must have seen through this. Even if he did not know, he would be able to guide us in the right direction.’ It was hard to deny that Ace was a smart man. “You want me to look for Ace?” Jasper frowned. ‘Impossible! Even if I’m killed, I’ll never ask Ace for help. That b*stard is my romantic rival. I’ll never stoop so low to the point of asking help from a rival. It’s something that I’ll never do.’“I’ll go.” Samson smiled bitterly. He used to feel hostile towards Ace. He hated him because of the incident with Summer. What happened between him and Summer was because of him. But again,
Azula’s breathing was irregular after crying in the washroom for a long time. ‘Turns out, Rafferty truly hates me. He’s disgusted with me.‘Well, for Rafferty, I’m an unscrupulous woman. Compared to so many women, of course, I'm not worthy of him.’After wiping her tears, she smiled bitterly. ‘I thought I knew that once I chose the path of revenge, I’d sacrifice my future. I thought I’d seen this coming… ‘Since I’ve chosen this path myself, I should finish what I started…’…… Jasper was at Miller Corporation. His vision dimmed as he had not been able to rest well for the past few days.“Chairman Miller, please take a nap.” The assistant felt sorry for him. He looked haggard. “You’re not looking well. If you were to collapse, Sea City would be in total chaos.”If something were to happen to Jasper, the mastermind would truly win.What they wanted to see most was them in a mess.Over the years, they had tried their best and found ways to disrupt them. This was exactly the re
“No. You left in such a hurry. We didn’t know...” The nanny shook her head nervously. Summer called Jasper, feeling worried. “Where are you?”“Sum, I’m in the office. I’ll be really busy for this time being. You don’t need to wait for me. Rest well,” Jasper said anxiously. “I’m back home early today. Have you had your dinner?” Summer asked softly. “No, but I’ll eat in a while. I won’t be coming home tonight. I don’t want to disrupt your rest time.” Jasper sounded stiff. Sure enough, he was unable to lie to Summer. “Make some more soup. I’ll bring it to him.” Without thinking much, Summer hung up the call and motioned for the nanny to make more soup for her. After bathing and disinfecting herself, she went to Melody’s room and checked on her children. “Honey, do you miss your mother?” The little kid was still unable to talk. Little Chestnut shrieked with joy. “Mother, I’ll be bringing dinner to Jasper later. Thank you for taking care of them.” Summer felt grateful for M
“Well, you’ve worked really hard during this time.” Summer nodded. She wanted to treat Jasper nicely. Jasper felt flattered as he looked intensely at the insulated lunch box. “It smells so good. Did you make it?”Summer rolled her eyes. “The nanny did it.”Jasper felt a little disappointed. “Oh.”“My father says he’ll be coming over tomorrow night. Both our fathers want to have dinner at our place. This time, the incident does have a great impact. They’re extremely worried.” Summer said softly as she poured Jasper a glass of warm water.“Sum, I might need to travel for work for some time. Miller Corporation is quite stable but Coleman Corporation and Yadon’s side are a little chaotic. The headquarters of the Caballero family is located at the bay.” Jasper told this to Summer in advance. He did not know how to face Summer. He was worried, hoping that if he was really infected, it would not hurt her as much. “For how long?” Summer nodded. Yadon was in a coma and Holton was still
Yadon still put quite a lot of importance in his family’s beliefs. The Caballero family cared so much about family lineage; if in any case he did not consent to it...Therefore, they still have to ask for Yadon's agreement.If Yadon agreed, she would take care of the child and Natalie. If Yadon disagreed, it would not be too late to send the child back to the orphanage.......At the intensive care unit..."With Yadon’s current situation, you can't visit him yet." The doctor and nurse came out of the ward.Elly supported Natalie and motioned her not to worry too much. "Yadon has woken up. Don't be afraid."Natalie nodded. Her eyes were terribly swollen. Perhaps everything was just a dream."Chairman Caballero, Mr. Miller has gone to the bay for you. The situation is not looking too good. You need to get better soon," the assistant said in a low voice. He was sanitized under the doctor’s directions before going into the ICU. Yadon nodded weakly. He was confident in Jasper in
“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.
