How could he be considered to have been kidnapped? He was clearly here to enjoy life.

James narrowed his eyes and regretted bringing the rascal back.

“If I did not bring you back, you would be dead.”

Adrian ate another grape and let James say whatever he wanted.

“Elly is Amanda Lea.”

“Oh? Are you going to reveal the truth now?” Adrian was amused and straightened his body. “Can you rest easy with a woman like that beside you? What if she decides to stare at you from your wardrobe? It’s really terrifying, you know.”

“Adrian Seawind!” Elly’s face became pale behind the screen.

James glared at her with a threatening look and straightened up as well. “I just want to tell you that I did think of using Elly to attack all of you. But before I managed to carry out my plan, somebody did it first. Do you understand what I’m saying?”

Adrian narrowed his eyes. He could tell that James did not want to kill him, and he was even protecting him.

Someone tried to kill him and make James and Elly th

    It was the first time Adrian saw James truly mad. “Mister Miller, please come over here.”“Jasper!” Adrian jumped in shock and immediately hid behind Jasper. “Get lost.” Jasper looked at Adrian with scorn. “You sure are living a good life, huh?”“I cannot eat and sleep well when I cannot see you.” Adrian shook his head with a miserable look. “Mister Miller, nice to meet you.” James hid his anger and got up. He held his hand out to Jasper. Jasper glanced at him. He pulled Adrian behind him to protect him, and he did not shake hands with him. James narrowed his eyes but did not get mad. He slowly lowered his hand. “I heard from my assistant that you wanted to meet me. I’m sorry about that. It was an oversight on my assistant’s part. He just informed me today.”“It’s okay. Important people forget a lot of things,” Jasper said faintly. “There are rumors in Sea City that your body is weak and that you’re about...” James did not say that he was about to die. “You look good today.”“I’m

    “Did you find her?!”“Young master, the one who took the lady away might be from the Hamilton family.” The assistant was injured, and his head was bleeding. “Damn it! Contact Irvin Hamilton. If his daughter dares to hurt Naomi, I want everyone in the Hamilton family to die!” Jasper was a little out of control. He could not bear to see even a single strand of hair fall from Summer’s head. “We found him. The car is headed to the abandoned shipyard in West Street.”*****At the abandoned shipyard in West Street...“I seriously can’t tell. It’s a real waste of this face.”When Summer woke up, Irene was in front of her. She frowned a little while feeling fretful. Her memories were jumbled up. “You’d best let me go...”“Huh?” Irene smiled and slapped Naomi. “You’re just an illegitimate daughter. You’re about to die, and you still don’t recognize it?”“Huh?” Summer shook her head vigorously. Her memories did not connect. “My dad is ill, and both of you bastards are trying to take over t

    Indeed, she needed to act. After all, these people could not be trusted. She seemed to understand that she must have had some sort of agreement with Jasper so that they could figure out who the mastermind was.“You must be scared, right?” Jasper smiled and hugged Summer in his arms. “It’s my fault. I didn’t protect you properly.”Summer’s body became stiff. She looked at Jasper awkwardly. Since there were outsiders around, she cooperated with him. “N-no, I’m not afraid. Irene wouldn’t be good enough to kill me.”“The Hamiltons must be thinking that I’m dying, so they bullied my woman.” Jasper smiled, and his cunning side started to show itself. “I’m fine...” Summer wanted to break free from Jasper’s arms, but Jasper hugged her tightly. Summer gave up resisting. She had a headache, so she laid still.“Young master, we should first...” The assistant turned and saw Jasper shushing him. Summer felt dizzy and soon fell asleep. Jasper carefully helped Summer massage her head and hugged

    At the Plath family’s mansion, Samson stood in front of the rubble for a long time. His mood was low. “Have you figured it out?”“It’s a gas explosion... But Mr. Plath is missing.”Samson clenched his fists. “Are the security guards in the Plath family just for show?”“Mr. Ardly, we’ve been here all day, but just now, Mr. Plath called us and told us to have dinner before we came back…” The leader was a little nervous as he explained. “We were only away for half an hour.”Samson raised his hand with a frown and stared at the rubble. ‘Half an hour… They sure were on time.’“Did you find him?”“Young master, the rescuers are still searching, but no corpse has been found so far. They must have taken him away.”Samson clenched his fists tightly. ‘Damn it.’“Tell James I want to see him!”In the Shangri International Resort Hotel…“These people are too wild! ACK! It hurts! I'm a doctor! It’s definitely broken!”Adrian’s crying and wailing could be heard from afar. “You were just hit once.

    “He’s not a human… he’s a demon. Everyone in the Ross family is a demon.” Elly started shivering and looked at Adrian nervously. “You shouldn't have been involved in this. It's my fault. That person took advantage of my past to get all of you in here. I could probably guess who she is…”“Who?” Adrian asked Elly vigilantly. “You can't know. If you do, they won't let you live.” Elly shook her head vigorously and held Adrian's wrist anxiously. “Listen to me. Stay away from James and everyone in the Ross family.”“Is James’ brother trying to kill him?” Recently, there were too many people trying to kill James. “Yes, that man is terrible.” Elly nodded. “He was the only one that James did not have the heart to kill, and it was the first time he allowed a potential problem to live.”Adrian narrowed his eyes and felt that the game was getting bigger. “The mastermind is seriously a goddamn genius.” Adrian cursed softly.“Stay away from James…” Elly reminded him once more. “You guys were the

    The police had just left the Plath family’s mansion when Jasper arrived.“Any clues?”“Mr. Alaric Plath's bodyguards said ever since someone delivered a dead cat to him via courier service, he had tightened the security system. But when the accident happened, Mr. Plath was the one who asked his men to go out for dinner. They only left for half an hour, and the house exploded during that time. It seems that they’ve been planning this for a long time.” Jasper looked at the security line before he turned away. “Ask Adrian if this has anything to do with James.”“Why would we need to ask Master Seawind, wasn’t he kidnapped? If it's really James who did it, he'd hide it from him.”“No, he won’t.” James was too impudent. At the Ardly family's mansion, when Samson got home, Julia was vomiting in the bathroom.Her face was a little pale, and she almost collapsed from vomiting too much. She was a surrogate mother. To ensure that she would conceive, she took in a lot of injections to help her

    If the Hamilton family had not had a solid foundation, it would have fallen apart because of the torment it went through. As a veteran in Sea City’s business circle, he had to humble himself before these young people. Truly, his life was becoming worse than it was before. “Yes, sir. Cartier Trump from the Trump family is here,” Irvin’s subordinate looked outside and whispered.“Cartier Trump?” Irvin sat up straight. He and Cartier Trump were not close to each other. The Trump family was in the shipbuilding and shipping industries. Universal Movies was in the entertainment, movie, and TV industries. The most they could do was make small talk when they met. It was absolutely impossible for them to visit each other for friendship’s sake. “Oh, what brings you here, Mr. Trump?” Irvin put on his signature smile.“I’m here to visit you. I heard you were sick.” Cartier was also a cunning old man. He looked modest, and acted in an incredibly humble manner.“What brings you here?” Irvin did n

    In the Ardly family's mansion… “Young master, Miss Vaughan…is pregnant.” The assistant examined Julia, and the results shocked him. “What?” Samson frowned, his expression unpleasant. “Whose child is it?”Julia had always been living with him, and she did not go out often. So, who did this child belong to?“Young master…it’s yours,” the assistant said helplessly, “Mr. Ardly called Miss Vaughan. He might have convinced her to make Miss Julia a surrogate for you so that the Ardly family will have a successor.”Bang! Samson sprang to his feet. The aura he emanated was extremely cold.“That lunatic!” Samson slammed the door with a bang as he stomped off to the Ardly family's main mansion to find Colden. If it were not because he had cancer, Samson would not even want to visit him anymore. Great! Now he had Julia become a surrogate mother behind his back. He was truly a lunatic!In Sea City Hospital… “Shouldn’t you feel happy about getting pregnant with the person you like?” Summer look

    “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.

    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.
