She was not worried about Jasper trying to seek revenge, it was just… She might actually be worried that someone might have ill intentions towards Jasper. “There's a woman controlling Victoria, and the one controlling that woman might be James of Country M. You're right, a woman is not strong enough to control Z Corporation, so…” After a long period of silence, Naomi looked up at Benjamin. “James wants Jasper dead so that he can start his business in Sea City. He must have been planning this for a long time.”This was a conspiracy that had existed for some time.“James hates your father. He lost a lot of business opportunities in his home country because of him, and… James is of mixed-blood. His mother is also from Sea City.” During the six months Benjamin returned to Country M, he investigated James very thoroughly.“He is one of the least favored members of the Ross family in Country M because he’s of mixed-blood. You know how xenophobic people in Country M are. The fact that James
There was definitely something wrong with that woman. “Why? What’s so bad about her?” Julia could not understand.“You are too naive. The human heart is inscrutable. Maybe she is taking advantage of you.” Samson smiled and motioned Julia to eat.“Samson, she is indeed very similar to Ms. Plath, and I have observed her. She has a good personality. If you can't forget Ms. Plath... Naomi is good too.” Julia lowered her gaze, looking a little nervous.“Yet she’s not her, even if she looks very similar to her.”*****At Blue Court Hotel, Jasper turned on the shower and soaked himself in cold water. He felt refreshed, but his stomach started to burn and churn again. The stench of blood became stronger in the bathroom. He did not know what he should do, and he did not know what he should do with Naomi either. He had never felt as stupid as he was now.“Young master, it's all settled. What should we do next?” The assistant stood outside the bathroom and asked softly.“Is James really that e
It was winter in Sea City when Summer fell into the cold water. How disappointed she must have felt. But he… did not do anything at all. They lost their child too.He did not deserve Summer’s forgiveness.Summer's hand froze when she was wiping Jasper's head. She did not push him away. “Do you think I'm still the little fool? Do you think I’d forgive you just because you apologized?“Jasper… the moment we lost our child, there was just no possibility of us being together anymore.”Jasper hugged Naomi tightly, not letting her go. An ambulance took Jasper to the hospital. Naomi stayed there and took care of him. “Consider this as me doing this to you because I owe you a favour.”She remembered that when she went through a surgery to remove the needle, Adrian told her that Jasper stayed up all night to keep watch over her. He even got stabbed.“Sum…“Summer… don’t go…”Jasper’s fever did not break. The doctor from the emergency department gave him an injection for the fever, but it ca
“Why didn’t you go out early today?”Cosmo asked with a smile as he poured himself a cup of floral tea.“Hey, brat. Come here.” Naomi frowned. Cosmo did not go to SN Holdings today. “Hmm? Aren’t you going to call me big brother?” Cosmo smiled as he poured Naomi a cup of water. “Are these false charges or are your fans hyping this up?” Naomi put a couple of pictures in front of Cosmo. They were either taken by the paparazzi or by some random person.Cosmo was wearing a mask and a cap. He got into a car with a man. Their movements in the car looked rather ambiguous, but it also looked like it was a forced perspective photo.“It’s a forced perspective photo.” Cosmo frowned. There were people hyping up this news before. “He’s James from the Ross family of Country M. I heard that he has a strong background. I am not sure what his true intention was when he visited me. As of now, he hasn’t stated it clearly.”Naomi stood up in shock. She stared at Cosmo for a really long time. “James? He’s
“Jasper is just a fool. He might be smart, but he is just a blockhead who has a high IQ and low EQ.”In her mind, she recalled Benjamin’s comments regarding Jasper. He was always a good judge of character, and he was very accurate when he described them.Benjamin said that he met Jasper when he was younger. Jasper was fighting with some snotty brats, and his face was dirty. It was said that they were fighting over a stray dog. In the end, Jasper adopted the stray dog. But it passed away after living with the Miller family for three years. Since then, Jasper did not have any pets. He was afraid of separation. He was afraid of losing something after showing his love for it. Naomi did not understand why Benjamin told her this. She felt that Benjamin was biased towards Jasper because he never said anything good about Samson.Instead, he said that Samson and he were alike.“You've done something wrong? Who have you offended? Jasper?” Cosmo felt worried. He reached his hands and held Naom
For some reason, she found herself feeling relieved. Samson had gotten it wrong. He thought that she was imitating Summer.“I did not. It was probably just a coincidence.” Naomi tried to pull her wrist back. She was in so much pain that her eyes became red-rimmed. “Is that so?” Samson shoved Naomi’s hand away. “Ms. Hamilton, I can give you a lot of things in your wildest dreams. Work with me… and no one will threaten you again.”Naomi looked at Samson tentatively. Was he worried about her being threatened by Victoria?“Mr. Ardly, what exactly do you want me to do?”“Didn’t I explain it clearly last time? Help me get rid of Jasper, and I’ll give you everything you want,” Samson said coldly.“I…” Naomi could not quite read the meaning behind Samson’s intentions anymore. Benjamin previously told her that Samson was trying to test her, but what about this time?Was Samson’s acting exceptional, or did he really want to kill Jasper?She did not understand. “Mr. Ardly, I don’t believe that
The car was parked at the entrance of Happy Hour Nightclub. Then, Samson’s subordinate opened the car door before he dragged Naomi out.“Wow, you really brought her over. Good job.”In the car park, River leaned against a car while he smoked. Shortly after, he walked over like a true gangster.Naomi anxiously retreated as her breathing grew urgent.“Look at her carefully. Is she Naomi Hamilton?” Samson also got out of the car and asked meaningfully.Naomi was terrified as she stared at Samson. She stepped back and turned around to escape.“Ms. Hamilton, where are you going?” Samson’s subordinate blocked Naomi and forced her to go back.“Oh? You suspect that she isn’t Naomi?” River felt amused. He walked forth and grabbed Naomi’s wrist. “Lost your memories, huh?”“I don’t know you. Let go!” Naomi was truly panicking now. She lowered her head, not wanting to let River look at her.“Stop acting like you’re all demure and reserved. I’ve seen every part of your body before.” River raised hi
“Stay away!” Naomi cried while she hugged herself tightly. At that moment, she found herself feeling extremely helpless and terrified again.Back when she first lost her memories and met Jasper, she wandered about the edge of despair, just like that. All of a sudden, however, she saw Jasper in the white snowfield. He ran over anxiously and held her in his arms.At that moment, the Summer who had lost her memories saw her savior.******Bang!* At the entrance of the car park, a black SUV crashed into the back of a car beside Samson.Samson furrowed his eyebrows slightly, and he stared at the person inside the car with a dreary air. “Naomi, over here!” Jasper’s face was slightly pale, and his eyes were a little red-rimmed.“Young master!” A car followed the SUV closely behind, then Jasper’s assistant and Adrian ran over nervously.The back of Jasper’s hand was red, and anyone could tell with just one look that he had pulled off the infusion needle and run out of the hospital. His fing
“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.
