"You have no idea just how much she loved fighting since her youth. She would attack anyone she did not like. No one in our class would dare provoke her. She was the boss." Jennifer described her in an exaggerated fashion. She had not the slightest fear nor did she try to hide her past when she recalled what had happened.Ace was right. Jennifer was not sick, not in the slightest."Since you're afraid of her, then you can just shout from upstairs. Tell her to leave quickly, and that you don't want to see her." Casper smiled as he tried to teach her a trick."Would that be okay? Would the people complain?" Jennifer was skeptical."It’s okay, it’ll be fine. Even if they complain, it would just be a complaint against me, it will have nothing to do with you." Casper patted his chest confidently.With his reputation and character in this apartment, no one would complain, because all of them liked him very much and eagerly wanted to help him find a partner.Jennifer got up, ran to the
Trent was so shocked that she raised her hand to cover her mouth, took a few steps back and glanced at the house number in a panic. "Sorry, sorry... I didn't mean to, I may have gone to the wrong place, is this Casper's house?"Behind the door, Casper mouthed at Jasper. ‘Tell her it’s not my house, please.’Jasper smiled and left the door open. "This is Casper's house, but you splashed water on the wrong person.""Sorry, sorry!" Trent covered her mouth. This man was a little scary and not someone to mess with."I'm really sorry. How about I'll wipe it dry for you." Trent quickly took out a tissue and rushed to help Jasper wipe his face."Ding......"The elevator door opened, as Summer and Ace walked out.Summer tilted her head and glanced at them. From the angle she was looking from, the woman seemed to be almost clinging onto Jasper."Did we come back at the wrong time?" Summer asked quietly.Ace’s eyes were smiling. "Yes, indeed. Sum, let's go eat some bouillabaisse. The bou
Jasper grabbed his wife back silently and stood between them.He then gave a warning look to Ace. ‘She is my wife.’"How childish..." Ace sneered.Trent just stood there and looked at Jennifer. She was at a loss for what to do next. "You really think we're not friends and that I don't care about you?"Trent did not wait for Jennifer to explain, and spoke again with her eyes red, "Growing up, if I didn't care about you, a fool like you would have been sold as a slave!"Jennifer was still crying, she did not want to forgive Trent, how could she tear down other people's feelings?"Bang! Bang!"The drama here had not ended yet. There was slamming on the door outside. Those who had arrived were not friendly.Ace glanced at the door and hid away while protecting Summer. "They must be Edward's bodyguards."So, Summer and Ace just laid their eyes on Jasper.Jasper gritted his teeth. His wife was teaming up with his rival to bully him together. What should he do about this? He had to
Casper's body froze for a moment. Indeed, he did not seem to have thought about that point. "Edward, please don’t use your perspective to think about me. I want to be with Casper. I am very happy with him. Even if we live in a house with only one room, we are very happy!" Jennifer's voice trembled slightly as she nervously held Casper's hand.Edward looked at Jennifer and spoke again, "Don't be naive. Leave home and you won't be able to last for a week.""Edward, I've been here for a week." Jennifer retorted."When did you learn to talk back!" Edward took a deep breath and prepared to step forward.Jennifer was so frightened that she quickly hid behind Casper. She was very nervous."Mr. Reeves, I would like to officially inform you about something." Casper raised his hand to protect Jennifer and spoke again, "Jen and I have gotten a marriage certificate."Edward instantly froze in his steps, and his breathing became rapid. "What did you say?"The air was still for a long time.
After Ace had finished his sentence, everyone was so astonished that their jaws dropped.Even Casper, who was praised so much by him... was put on the spot.Was he complimenting or insulting him?"Heh... You are definitely a straight male." Trent sneered, interrupting Ace.Summer looked at Ace cautiously, and even Jasper secretly gave them a thumbs up.It had only been a few days since he had come to Mountain City, and Ace had already formed connections with the group of ladies in this community. These words were obviously compliments of Casper from the ladies downstairs."I'll be nice to Jen..." Casper's nervous palms were a little sweaty. "I can take care of her.""Are you kidding?" Edward gritted his teeth. "How much is your pay?"Casper thought for a while, and deliberately added a little more. "With the year-end bonus… eight thousand dollars..."This was already considered very high."Huh?" Edward's response was sarcastic."Your age.""32 years old..." Casper felt th
Edward frowned and looked at Jennifer. “Jen, don’t get deceived by these people!”Edward felt that these people had brainwashed his sister.Casper shook his head at Jennifer and asked her not to say anything else.At this time, Edward would not listen to anyone’s advice. Edward took Hanna’s information and looked at it carefully. “This information shows her family’s condition. She told us about her family in the past. You’re using one’s past to attack her. Don’t you think you’re not being ethical?” “So, you trust her that much?” Jasper felt like he was about to blow a fuse.Edward was considered a genius from a young age. He was the youngest student in his class and the favorite student among his teachers. But Jasper felt that he was just an idiot.“What else am I supposed to do? Trust you?” Edward sneered.“Fine. We just don’t get along well, huh?” Jasper felt like punching Edward in the face. He was trying to control his anger.Buzz. Summer’s phone vibrated. Summe
Jennifer was shocked and was trembling. She was hiding behind Jasper.Casper felt sorry and looked at the broken glass of the coffee table. He previously picked this coffee table with his sister because it had a minimalist look.“Ha, what’s wrong if I stay with artists and models? Does that have anything to do with you? Who are you? You’re just an outsider, and why do you bother to care about me? Even my sister does not treat you as her friend!”“Say that again!” Trent grabbed Edward’s collar and wanted to hit him. “I had given you enough of a chance, right?! You asked me to come and pick up Jen, and I have already been here for two days. When Jen is with you, she just had her illness recurring, and she can only feel depressed! Did you know that you are the person who made her emotionally sensitive? Your illness is even more serious than hers. Do you think she can recover?”Edward remained silent. Even in their youth, there was no person who Trent dared not to hit. He did not wan
Very soon, the police officers brought the bodyguards that were guarding outside Casper’s mansion. “Is Edward okay? Do we need to send him to the hospital? Will he have any concussion?” Trent was a little scared. She was always with Edward, but now she did not quite agree with Edward’s opinion. Edward was her childhood friend, after all. Would he be fine after being beaten?“He kidnapped me this way, too.” Jasper sneered. He still held a grudge towards Edward.Summer glanced at Jasper and felt that he was truly bearing the grudges...“Next, just wait for Hanna to fall into our trap.” Ace sat on the sofa and said softly. Trent did not understand. “What do you mean? Are you guys going to kidnap me as well...?” “You’re useless to us. Why should we kidnap you?” Casper smiled and said. Jen was frightened and hid behind Casper. She stared worriedly at Edward, who was unconscious. Edward was her brother, so she did not hope Edward would get hurt. Buzz.Edward’s phone sudden
“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.
