“You want to attack Summer using public opinion?” Alfred replied anxiously. “You don’t have to worry about what will happen next,” Nieva replied quickly. “Delete our chat history.”Alfred selected the ‘delete’ option and hesitated for a long time. He took screenshots of their chat history before he deleted the messages. …...At the Mountain City Sanitorium...Jasper stood by the window, looking at the woman behind the glass window. After so many years, Jen still looked like a teenager. “Jen, let’s see who visited you, shall we?” In the room, Jen’s nurse smiled as she spoke. The woman glanced in the direction of the window. Her face looked as small and as delicate as that of an angel. Edward was good-looking and Jennifer was his fraternal twin. Both of them had inherited a good set of genes. Jasper suddenly felt anxious. Even if what happened previously was not related to him, he was the cause. So, he could hardly face this matter. “Jasper...” Jennifer did not even look
Jennifer’s whole body began to tremble. She could not seem to withstand such a shock. She slowly loosened her grip on Jasper.“Jasper, you’re married…? How could you get married? You aren’t really married, are you? You wouldn’t get married. You wouldn’t abandon me…” Jennifer suddenly grabbed her hair, turned, and ran back to her room. She curled up in a corner, and when someone tried to approach her, she screamed and slammed her head against the wall.“Jasper, you bastard!” Edward punched Jasper. “If anything happens to my sister, I’ll definitely kill you!”“You can kill me now,” Jasper said coldly before he turned and left. “I told you before that I can’t come and visit her. You’re the one who forced me to come.”“Jasper, how dare you walk away?! From now on, the Reeves family will no longer cooperate with Miller Corporation. I’ll have the Reeves family and all our family and friends boycott Miller Corporation. I’ll cooperate with Rose. You don’t want this to happen, right?!” Edwa
In Mountain City… Jasper felt that he had been unconscious for a long time. When he woke up, he was in the pitch-dark basement.After struggling for a while, he cursed irritably. “That d*mn lunatic!”“Edward, come out, you b*stard!” Jasper growled in a low voice. “Are you a f*cking child? How can you do something so childish?“Edward Reeves, come out here!”His hands were tied behind his back and he could not break free.‘D*mn it, Edward! You’re really a lunatic.’“Edward! Do you not know that abducting is illegal?” Jasper gritted his teeth.Someone opened the basement door and switched on the light.He frowned a little, his eyes adjusting to the light.Edward came in alone. “Edward, are you insane?” Jasper looked at him coldly. “Let me go right now.”“Jasper, you forced me to do this. You tormented us; I’ll do the same to you too. You want to go back, get married and take wedding photos, right? You don’t deserve to be happy. I won't let you!”Edward sounded obsessive
At the Miller family’s mansion in Sea City… Summer did not receive any calls from Jasper that night. She became a little worried.“Sum, you’re not looking well. Did you not sleep well last night?” Adrian insisted on staying in the Miller family’s mansion. He noticed Summer looked distressed early in the morning.“Jasper went to Mountain City last night. He said he would be back in the evening or at night, but he didn’t answer his phone when I tried to call him.” Summer massaged the muscle between her eyebrows.‘Jasper would never do this. Did something happen?’“Hey, he’s a big man. Do you think he was abducted and sold?” Adrian still had not realized the seriousness of the matter. Based on Jasper’s past behavior, he was most probably out there doing something bad.“It’s true that something’s odd here. I’ll ask someone to investigate it. Who was he with?” On the other hand, Gilbert analyzed the problem calmly. Right now, Jasper regarded Summer as someone who was more important t
“Edward, I’m sorry to bother you. Jasper hasn’t contacted me since yesterday. Have you seen him?” Summer’s heart tensed up, and she felt anxious.Edward grunted. “Um, we both drank a lot yesterday night. He’s still sleeping. I think he mentioned that he lost his phone. I’ll ask someone to search for it later. Do you want to speak to him? I’ll go to the living room and wake him up.”Summer let out a sigh of relief as she placed her hand on her chest. “Thank goodness. I thought something happened to him. If it’s okay, can you ask him to call me back?”“Sure. Sum… are you considering what I said? You might not understand Jasper well enough. With the way he acted in the bar last night, I really think he’s not a good man,” he said earnestly.“Thank you… but I understand my husband. He indeed will lose his composure a little when he's drunk. Please don't take this to heart.” Summer trusted Jasper. She also knew that he was prejudiced against Jasper. “Why can’t I meet a girl that trusts
Jasper was knocked unconscious and laid in the basement in Mountain City the whole night. “Have you thought about it?” Edward smiled as he approached him, clutching the phone. “Sum called. I told her that I’m going to wake you up so you can talk to her.”“Edward!” There was a murderous intent in his gaze. ‘If he were to hurt Summer, I will never let him off the hook!’“Jasper, calm down. So, are you going to stay in Mountain City and look after my sister until she gets better before going back to Sea City to get married, or do you want me to lock you in here forever and you’ll never get to see Summer again?”There was a hint of threat in Edward’s words. Jasper was emitting a cold aura as he looked at Edward coldly. ‘Summer is still on the phone, I shouldn’t make her worry.’“Sum…” He compromised with Edward. ‘I need to make him calm down first. Right now, he’s a lunatic.’Summer, who was at the Miller family’s mansion in Sea City, let out a sigh of relief when she heard Jasp
"Jasper, let's make a deal. If you help my sister with her treatment and cooperate with whatever the doctor says, then I promise that the Reeves family will continue to cooperate with the Miller family, and Summer will be fine, how about that?"“Don’t you dare lay a finger on Summer!" Jasper's voice was a little hoarse.This b*stard, he had better not dare lay a finger on Summer!"Jasper, you also know that I'm a lunatic. Anything’s possible for a lunatic, and you can see that Sum still trusts me. If I trick her into coming over to Sea City now, do you think she will come?" Edward looked at Jasper with a smile.Jasper struggled with the hemp rope on his wrist. ‘This b*stard!’......At Sea City, in the Miller’s family mansion…"Jasper lost his phone. Edward said that Jasper has not woken up yet." After hanging up, Summer still felt some lingering fear.Jasper sounded a little strange."He doesn't plan to come back yet?" Gilbert was a little puzzled."No, there are still thing
"Don't worry too much first, I'll try to find Jasper. If something really happened, don't act rashly and alert anyone now." Casper said briefly, asking Summer not to worry. "I've already booked the plane ticket; I'll go over right away." Mountain City was not far from Sea City. It only took a flight of a little more than an hour to reach the destination. Summer was worried about Jasper, but her mind was full of what Edward had said. Were the grudges between Jasper and Edward actually because of Edward's sister? Why did Jasper hide it from her... "Be careful, send me your flight number later, and I will go pick you up." Casper was a little worried about Summer. "Okay, I'll send it to you later." After hanging up, Summer glanced at her phone. Wade had called her a few times, and it seemed like there was something urgent. "Hello, Wade?" "Sum, drop by the company when you have time. There are some important things here that we need you to take care of." Summer frowned,
“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.
