Summer’s fair face was horribly swollen, and she was so frightened that she kept inching backward.

“Stop embarrassing yourself here and get your a*s home!” Jasper clenched his fists, and his words were laced with threats.

Summer lowered her gaze to look at her feet and bit her lower lip. “Sorry, I’ll immediately…”

If she knew that Jasper and Victoria would be here, she definitely would not have come.

Jasper intended to send Summer home without even thinking twice of it, but Victoria quickly walked over to Jasper and grabbed his arm. “Jasper, a lot of people are watching. It would be bad for you if others were to find out that you’re related to a waitress…”

Jasper glanced at Victoria and ignored Summer from then on.

“Jasper, why don’t you talk to Mr. Ardly for a moment? I need to head to the washroom.” Victoria’s gaze darkened as she stared after Summer.

At the garden of the hotel.

Summer stumbled out of the banquet hall and was trembling as she sat on a bench.

She was not stupid.

You could tell who a person loved just by looking at their eyes.

Jasper did not love her.

She sat there feeling numb for a long time and raised her head to look at the sky.

It was snowing again.

“Summer Plath?”

A snowflake drifted into Summer’s eye, and she abruptly regained her senses. She rose anxiously. “Miss… Miss Dawn…”

Victoria scrutinized Summer carefully and asked without thinking about it. “Have you really forgotten your past?”

Summer carefully clutched her hands together and shook her head slowly. “N-No, I don’t…”

“Hah. Then, what’s your relationship with Jasper?”

“N-No, there’s no relationship between us…” Summer was so frightened that she kept shaking her head non-stop.

Jasper would definitely not let her off the hook if she were to make Victoria angry.

Victoria sneered and slowly walked over to Summer.

Summer inched backward in fear, getting closer and closer to the pond.

“Are you afraid of me?” The almighty and arrogant daughter of the Plath family who had always looked down on her was actually afraid of her now!

“I’m not…” Summer shook her head.

“Summer, do you know why Jasper allows you to keep the baby in your womb?” Victoria asked in a low voice and goaded Summer with a smile on her face.

Summer straightened up and held her stomach without being aware of it.

“Because of you, I got into an accident in Country M and am no longer able to conceive. Jasper is thinking about letting you give birth to the baby so that he can give the baby to me!”

Summer was shocked as she gazed into Victoria’s eyes, and there was a chill running down her spine.

......

He was going to give her baby to Victoria!?

Then what about her?

Was she merely a tool that fulfilled his s*xual desires and gave birth to a child for him?

......

Summer started to feel a little dizzy, and she almost lost her balance.

…..

“Summer!”

Jasper walked out of the banquet hall.

Victoria froze for a moment. She did not expect Jasper to appear. Was he worried about this woman?

“Ah!” Victoria glanced at the pool and subconsciously grabbed Summer’s wrist. Both of them plunged into the ice-cold pond.

Summer lost her balance, and she did not even realize what was happening when she was pulled into the icy waters.

“Vic!” Jasper sucked in a sharp breath and jumped into the pond without hesitation.

He swam past Summer and pulled Victoria into his embrace.

“Where’s everyone! Call an ambulance!”

“Summer, I only asked you to leave Jasper. Why did you push me into the pond?” Victoria was crying as she hugged Jasper tight. She was trembling, cutting a pitiful sight.

Summer’s entire body was drenched, and the cold as well as the pain in her stomach was almost making her lose her mind. “It wasn’t me... it wasn’t me…”

Jasper’s gaze was murderous, and he looked like he wanted to skin Summer alive.

Summer’s heart felt colder than the water in the pond.

Jasper did not believe her.

And he had never cared about whether she was dead or alive.

He found it embarrassing for her to be working, but he never even remembered the fact that he had not given her a single cent to survive.

He had spent millions to propose to Victoria, but he forgot that Summer was pregnant. All she needed was a few eggs to fill her stomach...

“Jaz… it wasn’t me. I didn’t…”

Victoria leaned against Jasper’s chest and looked provocatively at Summer.

Summer bit her lower lip. ‘It must feel very warm to be in his embrace.’

After her accident last year, Jasper held her in his embrace, rescued her and brought her home.

The staff members of the hotel brought some towels over and nervously wrapped Jasper and Victoria with them.

Jasper though, stripped the towel off himself and wrapped it around Victoria instead.

Summer slowly crawled out of the pond, feeling very dizzy as she curled up on the floor.

No one cared about whether she was dead or alive. Jasper would never care about whether she was dead or alive.

“It’s so cold…”

She did not want to love Jasper anymore.

“Summer!” Adrian ran out of the banquet hall when he heard the commotion. He anxiously snatched a dry towel from one of the staff members and wrapped it around Summer. “Are you guys f*cking blind? Didn’t you see that she had fallen into the pond as well?”

She was pregnant!

And the baby in her womb was already in danger to begin with...

    “Haha, do you really think that she would ask for money from you?” Adrian chuckled.“I’m just…”“You’re just ignoring her existence out of habit. You are absolutely certain that she loves you and relies on you, and that she wouldn’t be able to survive at all without you. That’s why you’re able to unscrupulously abandon her and hurt her.” Adrian shook his head. He did not know if he was criticizing himself or criticizing Jasper. “Enough of that! She’s just an idiot who lost her memory…” Jasper growled in agitation.But his voice was hoarse, and it slowly drifted off.“Yes, Jasper. You’re free now.

    There was such a huge pang in Samson’s heart that his eyes had turned red. He anxiously grabbed a plaster to cover the wound on the back of Summer’s hand. He then forcefully pulled the trembling girl into his embrace. “Sum, I’m here. Don’t... don’t be afraid.”“Ah!” Summer growled. She was having a mental breakdown, and she was trying to free herself from Samson’s embrace with force.It was very hard for her to accept her newfound memories.Very hard...Summer’s screams were incredibly shrill. She was crying incessantly, and every time she screamed, Samson felt as though his heart was being sliced with a blade.“Sum, don’t be afraid...”Other than comforting Summer, Samson did not know what else he could do.“Get lost!” As though she had gone crazy, Summer pushed Samson away. She was staggering as she tried to get out of bed.“Ah!” Summer stood barefoot on the floor. Suddenly, she broke down again, curling up and crying loudly.Why? Why did she have to remember?Why?

    In the bathroom.Summer was curled up in the corner for a very long time. Her eyes were glassy as she glanced around. She threw a glass onto the floor before picking up one of the shards and grasping it forcefully.The metallic smell of the blood and the pain in her palm cause Summer to tremble even more violently. She bit her finger, and she could not help but fall to the floor.A year.Too much had changed in a year.After she had lost her memory, she thought that Jasper was her God, her salvation.But it turned out that he was the devil, an evil demon from hell.What on earth had she done wrong?

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.

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.
