"Chairman Miller, I might need to stay in Sea City for some time. I will ask my subordinates to follow up on the cooperation as soon as possible. Chairwoman Rogers from Gold Oriental asked me out tonight. Shall we have dinner together?"Edward sounded sensible and understanding as he spoke, but he was delivering a threat.Rose had looked for him, which may indicate that things might change.If Edward and Rose had reached an agreement, the Miller Corporation would be in a passive position."Why did she ask you out for dinner?" Jasper asked vigilantly. "Edward, you’re an adult. You must consider the pros and cons before making a decision. Choosing Miller Corporation is mutually beneficial for us and a win-win situation for your family. But choosing someone else may not necessarily be the case for you, do you understand?"He did not want Edward to participate in Sea City’s dispute.Besides, Summer said that Edward had depression.At the end of the day, he still cared about Edward,
Jasper's face instantly darkened, and he glared at Edward. "No one would think you’re deaf if you don't talk, are you eating or not?" Edward looked at Summer for help with an aggrieved expression as he bowed his head obligingly. Summer cleared her throat and was in a passive position. "When he goes berserk he would even hit himself. Would that be considered domestic violence?" Edward was amused by Summer and naturally helped Summer to place some food on her plate. "Here, eat more." Jasper looked forbearing, this kid definitely did it on purpose. "Sum, try it." So, Jasper was not backing down and served a bowl of Summer to Summer. During the meal, Summer felt and sensed the strong smell of gunpowder and the smell of explosives in the atmosphere. Looking down at her plate being piled up with heaps of food, this was... Obviously, Edward was doing everything on purpose. He was deliberately angering Jasper. The grievance between the two of them was really... beyond words.
Summer was easily deceived. How long could Jasper deceive her? Turning to leave, Edward waved at them. "Lunatic." Jasper cursed. "How can you curse someone behind his back?" Summer pinched Jasper. "I can also curse in front of him." Jasper was very proud. "What kind of grudge do you both have?" Summer was curious. Jasper hesitated for a moment, but still did not say anything. Just as the phone rang, Summer looked down at the phone. It was sent by Alfred and asked if she had eaten. "I have already eaten." Summer replied. It took a long time for Alfred to reply to the message. "Summer, have a good rest, see you tomorrow." "Who texted you?" Jasper looked worried, for fear that that lunatic, Edward, would disturb Summer. “It’s just one of my artists, why are you being so paranoid?" Summer smiled and replied, then looked up at Jasper again. "It's the one who acted courageously for justice today." "Sum, I could never bear to beat you..." Jasper stretched out his hands
"Chairman Miller!"Not long after Carter walked out, he re-entered the office with a look of astonishment. "Chairman Miller... the chairperson of Oriental Glory is actually Nieva, who is also that agent. Did she set up a company with someone else or set up another company herself?"Jasper also froze for a moment. Nieva was the person in charge of Oriental Glory?"Let her in." Jasper frowned. Didn't Nieva just sign a cooperation agreement with Summer? Now, she was representing Oriental Glory?She even came to meet him? What was her intention?......At Plath Corporation....Summer entered the company and glanced at her wristwatch. She was just on time and was almost late.It’s all because of Jasper, that b*stard’s fault, for being so nervous and not going to sleep last night, and insisting on pulling her to have a heart-to-heart talk...Her eyes were a little swollen. Summer deeply suspected that she was already getting old and could not stay up late."Miss Summer..." Alfred w
After all, the modelling industry particularly favors young blood and good looks. He was actually not too young anymore, and although he was mixed-raced and handsome, it would not be easy for him to have a career change. If it were not for this cooperation with Nieva for the first time, she would probably never choose him. "My stepsister, who has the same mother but different father as me, is ill and has acute leukemia, so… I need money." Alfred did not hide from Summer. These things must be informed to the company when doing the handover. The company will also consider whether to continue to sign him. Summer was silent for a while, no wonder. "You know that the modelling industry only favours young blood and good looks." "Yeah, but Nieva said that it’s quick money." Alfred looked down a little embarrassedly. "That's true, but...you have to think about the future as well. This is the contract between us. You can take a look. I can change the contract to a one-year contract and
Jasper glanced at Nieva profoundly. She was intelligent, bold, and very ambitious. Jasper had seen many different people, and he saw desire in their eyes.Some people desired money, some desired power, and some wanted women. Nieva’s gaze was filled with intense and passionate desire. Jasper narrowed his eyes, smiled, and said, “You’re right.”Nieva smiled, put her new name card in front of Jasper, and went straight to the point. “Chairman Miller, then I will just get straight to the point. The reason I came over today is to collaborate with you.”“Oh? You want to collaborate? In which aspect?” Jasper smiled and asked. “I heard that your textile company needed a large number of raw materials, but Miller Corporation had only a limited number of raw materials. I know you’ve always collaborated with the Reeves family from Mountain City before this because they’re an agricultural province.”Jasper looked at Nieva coolly. She had carried out a detailed investigation. “Of course
Nieva was so envious of Summer, but... she just liked to challenge things with incredible difficulty.“Then, I shall not keep bothering you.” Nieva knew what to do at the right time. She knew when she should leave.After leaving Miller Corporation, Nieva called Summer. At the cafe under Plath Corporation...Summer bought two cups of coffee and waited for Alfred in the lounge area. Alfred was still visiting the company because he first needed preliminary knowledge and understanding about his work and working environment.“You’re so lucky enough to have Ms. Plath to guide you even if you’re a newcomer.” The colleague from the Promotional Department smiled and said. Alfred smiled politely and did not say anything. Even Nieva did not set a scheme against Summer, and Summer would not be the person who led Alfred.“Ms. Plath is very kind. Do your best.” If Alfred were hardworking and capable, he would live a good life using the resources of Miller Corporation. “Ms. Plath... I’
When Alfred came out from the lift, he saw Summer sitting beside the basement windows, talking on the phone, and smiled gently. It was apparent that she looked happy. Alfred did not bear to break such a happy and calm scene. But he needed money...He needed a large amount of money. “Alright, I will hang up first. I need to go and have lunch.” When Summer saw Alfred come down, she smiled and wanted to hang up. “Wifey, I will come and pick you up from work tonight.” Jasper did not want to hang up. “It’s okay. I drove over here.” She drove Jasper’s car to the lunch meeting. “Then come and pick me up. I don’t feel like driving anymore.” Jasper just did not want to hang up. “Don’t fool around. I will come and pick you up from work. Bye.” After hanging up, Summer smiled helplessly. During this period of time, Jasper seemed as if he was in a honeymoon period and was attached to Summer. “Ms. Plath, you look delighted.” Alfred smiled and asked. “Yes. My husband had some chi
“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.
