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
“Juda Cohen...” Trent frowned, thought for a long time, and shook her head. “It is quite unlikely that she was my classmate. If she was, I would know. We studied in private school from primary school, junior high school, and senior high school. Most of our classmates came from rich families.”“Then, let’s eliminate the possibility of her being your classmate? Is Hanna holding a grudge against the Reeves family?” Jasper could only try to speculate and eliminate all the unrelated possibilities. “I’m still investigating Hanna's connection to this before she went to Country H. I’m still not sure about this.” Casper shook his head. Ding-dong.Edward’s phone rang again. Ace looked at the time. It had only been five minutes, and it was clear that Hanna could not wait any longer, or perhaps she was intentionally waiting for Edward’s call. “Should I reply?” Summer asked. “No.” Ace tapped the table gently. “What did she send?” Trent asked. [Have you taken your medicine?] Hanna w
“Ah, we were still friends last night. But we became a couple at midnight.” Trent smiled and seemed embarrassed. “We know each other very well. He wanted to be with someone he was close with.” Summer, Ace, Jasper, Casper, and Jennifer were seated on the sofa and looking at Trent with shock. Trent was truly a talented actress. “Edward has been contacting me quite frequently over the past few days. He has been asking me to help him look after Jen. Jen listens to my advice. After many exchanged conversations, we’re finally together. In high school, we promised each other that in ten years’ time, if we were still unmarried, we would get together. That became a reality...”On the other side of the line, Hanna’s tone slowly became strange. The way that Trent spoke was too natural. If it was not because her acting was outstanding, it meant that she was truly interested in Edward.“That’s great... I’m just worried about Jen’s condition. Just ask him to call me when he has sobered up. T
“Well, no…” Casper gave Jasper his car key. …… When Jasper and Summer reached the garage, he looked at Casper’s beloved car and was silent for a long time. “Why don’t I call a taxi instead?” Summer tried to suppress her laughter. Casper’s car was actually in good condition. But since he usually went to work in his car, there were some dents here and there, making it look… unique. “Wifey, put your seatbelt on properly.” Jasper got into the car, and the first thing he did was fasten Summer’s seatbelt properly. He was afraid that the car itself would not be secure enough for them. “Can you stop being so nervous?” Summer felt resigned. “I can actually take a taxi there myself.”“You’re going to meet that young model alone?” Jasper was jealous.“You are so jealous of him.” Summer chuckled. She looked at the time. “Hold on tight. We still need to help Alfred find his missing luggage. He has Plath Corporation’s contracts and projects in his laptop. If those go missing, things wi
“What did Ace say to you?” After they got out of the elevator, Trent caught up with Edward and questioned him. “What is his motive?“He had a strong aura… “Ace sounds like a good name.”Edward, who had been walking swiftly, suddenly stopped. He then frustratedly unbuttoned his shirt, and took a deep breath. “Are you interested in him? Aren’t you famous for being a playgirl? Go ahead and approach him, then. Don’t bother me.”“Edward, you’re so mean. Right after I broke up with my ex-boyfriend, you called me here. I thought someone had abducted Jen. Turns out, she’s living a more normal life here compared to the times she lived with you!” Trent was enraged. In the end, Edward was the one who was sick!“She’s being deceived right now. Her current happiness is just temporary. Once she finds out that she was being lied to, she’ll be even more hurt than before. Do you know how dangerous this is to her?” Edward was worried that Casper was lying to Jennifer. If she found out, she woul
‘But…’Jennifer pondered for a moment, and nodded. “But, I do have a person in mind. I remember this one particular transfer student who was transferred out of the school not long after she joined because other students bullied her and made fun of her.”“Have you and your brother bullied anyone?” Casper asked. Perhaps they had gotten into a fight with someone before. “But I don’t think anyone would hold grudges from elementary school years.” Casper hesitated. “No, we never bullied anyone. In elementary school, we were pretty smart. When the students were the same age as we were in Grade 1, we were already in Grade 3.” Jennifer shook her head. “We were the youngest in our grade. Why would we bully anyone?”Casper nodded. ‘Probably not, then.’“Well, I should continue to investigate.”…… When Summer and Jasper reached Sea City International Airport, she went to the cafe and looked for Alfred. “Sum!” Alfred waved at Summer.Summer saw him and walked towards him with a smile.
“Alfred didn’t lose his luggage on purpose. What’s more, he’s here to help me. I was supposed to do these jobs. If it weren’t for you, he wouldn't have to work for me and come to Mountain City. He’s a model. There’s no way that he would have lost his luggage.” Summer frowned. She felt that something was off about Jasper. Jasper did not say anything as he tried to hide his jealousy. ‘Summer has been siding with Alfred. There’s some truth in my words too, right?’Alfred, who was sitting at the back, did not expect Jasper to come with Summer to fetch him. He frowned a little, and texted Nieva, [Jasper and Summer came together. It’s better not to make a move.]Nieva then promptly replied to him, [Think of a way to get rid of Jasper yourself.] [I can’t think of something like that.] He felt frustrated, and for some reason, he did not want to use Nieva’s methods. Nieva wanted him to purposely go to Mountain City and flirt with Summer. She had sent paparazzi to take pictures of them
“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.
