The only person she could trust was Benjamin."You can’t see?" A passerby raised his hand and shook it before Summer's eyes. "I'll get you a taxi."Summer nodded, not suspecting anything. "Thank you."After watching Summer get into the taxi and leaving, the passerby who helped Summer took out his cell phone and called Benjamin. "Your Little Apple just took a taxi to the apartment for medical professionals. She should be looking for you.""Aaron! Why did you go to Summer?" Benjamin furrowed his eyebrows and asked warily."It’s a coincidence. I was passing by." The man raised the corners of his lips and spoke again. "Benjamin, have you decided?""Yeah." Benjamin responded after a moment of silence."But I think your Little Apple is quite against the operation," the man said airily and went into his car."You don't need to worry about this." Benjamin stood nervously by the window after hanging up.‘Summer is coming to me…’Summer still relied on him subconsciously. His eyes darkened. Ben
When Benjamin found Summer, she finally managed to walk down the steps.Instead of saying that she walked down, it would be more accurate to say that she tripped and stumbled down while she fumbled about. "Sum!" Benjamin originally wanted to watch Summer and let her find him on her own. However, he could not bear to see Summer tripping down the steps. "Benjamin?" Summer asked, puzzled."Why are you here? I'm off work today, and I came out to buy some fruits." Benjamin composed himself really quickly, and he was able to instantly regain the cold tone in his voice. "With how your eyes currently are, Samson actually let you come out by yourself?""Benjamin, I snuck out by myself." Summer grabbed Benjamin's wrist nervously and shook her head. "Let me stay with you for a few days. Wait for my eyes to heal..."Summer had no confidence in what she said, and she did not know whether her eyes could heal.Moreover, she did not have any way to even begin searching for the mastermind. Victoria
After drinking the water Benjamin handed over, Summer quickly became sleepy.She was always able to sleep best when she was at Benjamin’s place. When Summer fell asleep, Benjamin was silent for a long time."Haven’t you found that group yet?" After making a call, he lit a cigarette for the first time in a long time.He rarely smoked. He was a doctor, and he was usually very self-disciplined."The two brothers who were arrested are addicts. Their drug addiction acted up while they were at the police station, so it’s obvious they were being used by others. The people who are planning everything behind the scenes know your situation too well. They know each of you like the back of their hand." The other person also seemed to have lit a cigarette. He chuckled before he spoke again. "Benjamin, there’s actually someone more terrifying than you. It’s really eye-opening. To be honest, I’m more eager than you to know who that person is.""Aaron, why did you go searching for Summer today?" Benj
“What’s the matter? Be quick.” Downstairs, Benjamin was dressed in leisurewear. He deliberately distanced himself from Aaron. “What? I’m not that dirty anyway. Do you have to regard me with such disdain?” Aaron smoked as he leant against the car door. He smiled and glanced at his own body. He knew that Benjamin was a clean freak. “Dirty,” Benjamin said meaningfully. Subconsciously, he avoided following Aaron’s gaze. “Ha, you really think that I’m dirty?” Aaron narrowed his eyes and fell silent. He put on a hurt expression. He had worked as a mercenary for many years. It was impossible to say that his hands were not stained with blood… So, he had never admired anyone in his life. Benjamin was the only person he admired. He could regard crime as art and harming others as his work of art. He saw no guilt in such a way of thought. “Spit it out! Sum is still at home.” Benjamin felt worried about leaving Sum alone, so, with a cold voice, he urged Aaron to speak. “Someti
[Samson Ardly’s fiancée, Summer Plath secretly lived in Sea City for a year!] *****The entire internet was filled with articles reporting on the matters between Summer, Samson, and Jasper. For a period of time, all entertainment articles’ headlines were about the secret stories between the rich. Benjamin emanated a cold aura when he looked up and stared at Aaron. “Is Irvin declaring war on Samson?” “Samson has just returned to Sea City, and his working style is indeed rather ostenstatious.” Aaron nodded. After all, Irvin was one of the leaders of the top three corporations in Sea City. Samson had only just returned to take over his family’s corporation. He was going to suffer terribly by offending Irvin. “I don’t care what grudges they have between them. They deserve to die if they lay their hands on Summer,” Benjamin said coldly. He clenched his fist tighter around the milk sweet in his palm. “Do something for me.” Aaron smiled, and his eyes glinted in extreme excitement
At the headquarters of Ardly Corporation…“Chairman Ardly, have you read the news? Someone exposed your fiancée for having an affair with Jasper Miller, the chairman of Miller Corporation. What’s your opinion on this matter?” “Chairman Ardly, do you believe in these rumors?” “Chairman Ardly, what do you think of the news?” Reporters were crowded behind the isolation belts placed in front of the company building. The security guards had to hold them back with all their might. Samson’s expression was dark when he walked out of the building. He cast his assistant, who was walking beside him, a sidelong glance. “Did Irvin send them?” “Chairman Ardly, you’ve just offended him. It’s obvious that he’s showing off his power to you as a warning.” The assistant was somewhat worried. When the authorities had a fight, the assistants definitely suffered too. Samson’s eyes darkened with anger. His knuckles let out cracking sounds as he clenched his fists.“He’s just asking for i
“So that’s how you end up after talking nonsense.” Samson exercised his numb fingers, which had become that way because he had been clenching them too tightly. He raised his hand to signal his assistant to light his cigarette. The assistant’s entire body was tense while he quickly lit the cigarette for Samson. He had worked with Samson ever since Samson returned from Country M, so he knew that his boss was really angry now. The reporter was flustered. For a while, he did not know how to continue with his line of questioning nor how to answer the question. “No matter how wild the rumors are, as long as Summer and I deny them, it means that those rumors are false. Do you understand me?” Samson lowered his gaze and warned the reporters again before he turned around and left. Sea City’s winter was cold to begin with, and when it was coupled with Samson’s cold aura, it resulted in all reporters shivering in response. Samson was obviously angry. If any news outlet dared to repo
“If Samson truly loved you, he would not care about such things!” Benjamin was anxious. If Samson really cared about the rumors, he had no right to say that he loved Summer. “But I care…” Summer gave a somewhat tired smile. “Benjamin, I’ve grown so tired of living this past year. I’ve lost my memories and turned into a fool. My entire head was filled with Jasper alone… After my memories returned, I realized that the person I love and should love is Samson… This is unfair to him.” Everything was unfair to Samson. With her plight, she was completely unworthy of him.One day, everything would tumble down like an avalanche and not a single snowflake would be innocent when it happened. “Only if I die…” Summer’s voice was extremely hoarse. “Is there no one else worthy enough to keep you alive apart from Samson and Jasper? What about me?” Benjamin asked with a strained voice. Was he, her older brother, nothing in her eyes? Summer’s eyes immediately turned red, and she bit her lower l
“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.
