“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
“Jaz, do you see me as your sugar baby?” Summer Plath asked carefully, and there was a slight tremble in her voice.“Where did you learn how to speak such nonsense? Take off your clothes.” Jasper Miller was a little impatient already. He put down the blueprint of the wedding rings, and his head was spinning as he pointed at the wedding dress on the bed. “Put that on and let me take a look.”“Such a beautiful dress!” Summer’s huge eyes lit up. She looked like she liked the wedding dress a lot as she gently caressed it with her hands. “Stop touching it!” Jasper sounded rather annoyed as he was worried that Summer would dirty the wedding dress.Summer was so terrified that she quivered, and she immediately withdrew her hands.She trembled as she took off her clothes. She then carefully put on the wedding dress.“Vic is a little more voluptuous compared to Summer, but this dress is tight even for Summer. Were you even taking the measurements properly? Also, make some changes to the
“My name is Summer Plath… It’s the only thing I remember about myself. Can you… take me in?”The ground had been covered in snow. Back then, Summer was as shy and timid as a little rabbit looking for food in the snow. Unexpectedly, Jasper Miller took her with him, keeping her in one of his mansions located in West City. She had been there for a year now.Everyone in Sea City knew that Jasper liked Victoria Dawn, the lady of the Dawn family. However, when Victoria had gone to Country M to further her studies, she fell in love with someone else. It was said that Victoria did not keep in touch with Jasper at all for a few years. And Jasper was not able to let go of his love for her. He had been having one sugar baby after the other, and the women he got involved were looking more and more like Victoria.This was especially true when it came to Summer. Not only did she look like Victoria, she had also stayed by Jasper’s side the longest.“Isn’t that idiot coming down for breakf
She was sick, and she barely had the strength to breathe.Jasper had never treated Summer like a human being, and Summer knew this all too well.“Jaz, I’m really in pain. Please let me off the hook…”Summer’s breaths were becoming weaker and weaker, and she was as limp as an unstrung puppet.She was feeling extremely dizzy, and she no longer had the strength to even tremble.“I did not pay for your medical bills and keep you here in my mansion so that you can act like a rich and spoiled girl!” It was getting harder and harder for Jasper to suppress the fury inside him.He had to admit that he had always spoiled Victoria, who was a rich girl to begin with. But Summer had nothing on Victoria. She was merely an idiot who had lost her memory and identity in an accident. Aside from being able to satisfy him s*xually, she was utterly useless.“Jaz, I’ll pay you back what I owe you…” Summer was exasperated as she cried. Her only fault was that she remembered nothing.Ever since Jasper
“Jaz, please…” Summer begged for help, hugging herself tightly. She refused to let Adrian continue examining her body.She did not want any other men apart from Jasper to touch her.Jasper was the first man she saw after she had lost her memory in the accident.He had been willing to take her in, pay for her medical bills, and bring her home with him.She thought that Jasper had liked her. To her, Jasper was the God who had rescued her.“Oh my, she’s acting like a virgin.” Adrian said playfully. The longer he looked at Summer’s pale face, the more she resembled a little rabbit waiting to be slaughtered. “Little thing, I can give you whatever Jasper can, and I promise to not be a brute like him. Men are supposed to treat women well, you know…”Adrian let his hands wander all over Summer’s body as he teased her, doing much more than simply examining her.Summer was in so much pain that she gritted her teeth. Curled up, she looked like a broken toy that could shatter into pieces at
‘Who do you think you are…’Summer did not know who she was to Jasper either. Was she his sugar baby, or was she an utterly useless idiot?Before Victoria was back, Jasper was not exactly nice to her either. But every now and then, he was willing to put in a little affection. After Victoria was back, Summer, who was a replacement to begin with, had been rendered utterly useless. She should probably stay as far away from Jasper as possible.“Jaz, I want to go home…” Summer was close to tears as she said that.Jasper had promised her that he would investigate her identity and help her recall her past. He had also said that he would bring her to Sea City to look at the ocean when it snowed again the following year.“Summer, you had been seriously disobedient.” Jasper’s words were laced with threat. He tightened his grip on Summer’s wrist.Summer was so in pain that her eyes welled up with tears. She did not know what was going on as she gazed at Jasper. “Jaz…”“I’ve always thought
“Outside…”Before the shop assistant could finish speaking, the store manager anxiously ran out of his office.“Where’s that woman?” The store manager asked in a panicked tone.“She got anxious and fled just now. She’s probably a thief.” another staff member muttered softly. They were a premium luxury brand from Country M that only sold custom-made jewelry. The woman, who had fled, had an anxious expression on, and was in a very flustered state as well. She was definitely a thief.The store manager furrowed his brows and stared at the pendant he was holding for an extended period of time. “This is that rich family’s coming-of-age gift for their daughter. I’ve seen it before in a magazine.”“That rich family’s daughter? Are you referring to the one from DR Holdings in Country M? The one who was kidnapped and killed, with her dead body being dismembered?”......Summer was hiding in the storeroom of the mall. She neither knew if the pendant was worth very much nor if that jewelry
“Hello, clean the mansion until it’s spotless and get rid of everything related to Summer. I don’t want Vic to get upset when she sees something she shouldn’t after she moves in. Do you understand?”As he stood outside the rented house, Jasper gave the nanny working at the mansion at West City a call.Summer quivered. Maybe Jasper did not know that the walls of the rented house, that were made of plasterboard, were not soundproof.The cracks on her feet that were caused by the cold were causing her tremendous pain. Even though the temperature of the water was no longer high, she felt that her feet were being soaked in boiling water.“Vic, I’ll go and get you now. Are you done packing up?“Wear an extra layer of clothing okay? It’s snowing outside and it’s cold.”…..He did not expect Victoria to take the initiative to move in with him, and she was in such a hurry to do it too. Hence, Jasper was in a pretty good mood.“Tell me if there’s anything you forgot to bring. I’ll take y
“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.

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.
