James had taken over the Sea City market in the name of the Coleman family. He took advantage of the period when the Miller and Ardly families did not have time to take care of their corporations to gain his footing. Right now, at Coleman Corporation in Sea City...“Sir, we have checked. Yone has a clean background. Her mother is a cook at A University and her father is a trainer in Gale Martial Art Studio. He teaches Wing Chun, a Chinese martial art.” After James’ subordinate investigated Yone, he wanted to let James know that Yone might just be a coincidence. “Really? What a coincidence, then,” James sneered. He never believed in coincidences. “Is anyone keeping an eye over the mansion?”“Yes, sir. Always have been.” James’ subordinates hurriedly placed a tab in front of him. On top of it was a monitoring panel.“Damn it!” James frowned. He was already in a bad mood. Now, his expression became worse.He had to create an opportunity for Adrian. In such a short time, he and the girl
“Ms. Plath… left with Mr. Ardly. They’re not back yet.” The assistant did not have the courage to lie, so he could only tell Jasper the truth. Jasper’s eyes became dim. He felt even more disappointed. “Young Master, is he a gigolo?” the assistant asked in shock, trying to change the topic. “Well… he has a pretty sad past.” Jasper nodded. The assistant sympathized with Victor a little. In truth, even if he was a man, he still looked quite pitiful. “He’s pretty attractive…” the assistant murmured. Jasper was not in the mood to pay attention to his assistant's gushing over Victor. He looked out the window, feeling dejected. “Did you manage to get any results?”“Samson should know it. The man sent to kill Summer has been transferred to the police. This person may have something to do with the previous hospital director’s accident.” The assistant composed his expression and became serious again. “Since you were injured, Mr. and Mrs. Miller have not stopped by here. But they have been
“Young Master, the doctor is here. We might need to wait a little while to know why Ms. Plath hasn’t woken up yet.” Samson started to get worried when Summer had been asleep for a long time. The doctor said that what happened to Summer was pretty common. It would be better to let her wake up on her own instead of waking her up by force. “And where is Julia?” Samson’s expression turned dark. “Julia… is back. She’s in the living room,” the assistant whispered. Samson had been completely focused on Summer. In truth, he had actually mentioned that Julia had come back just now.“She actually had the guts to still come back?” Samson’s expression immediately darkened. “You should check on Ms. Julia. It looks like something has happened to her.” The assistant was worried. Julia was usually a pretty good person and did not seem the kind of person who would plan things behind other people’s backs.‘How can a woman, who looks so innocent and is usually kind to everyone, do such things?‘It’s
She did nothing more than try to keep herself alive. Was the world not like that? It was the survival of the fittest. What did she do wrong? She did nothing wrong!While she had hurt many people and her hands were stained by the blood of many, she had never thought of hurting Samson. If she had not kept Jasper and Victor at bay, Samson could not possibly have fully inherited the Ardly family business in such a short time. He could not have possibly gained a foothold in Sea City so easily!Why?"Miss Julia… Let's..." The assistant was a little troubled. He walked to Julia's side and wanted to take her to abort her child."Samson, I’m begging you, please! This child belongs to you. He’s your child!" Julia had been repeatedly shocked, and her whole body was wound so tight that she was trembling. She was experiencing a mental breakdown. "No, I’m begging you, please.""Let me guess, you’re Victor's lackey. You have been his lackey for a long time. Benjamin wanted to pretend to kidnap Summe
“Please, I’m begging all of you, please let me go, I can't live without this child, I had gone through such a hard time keeping this child, I’m begging you, please."Samson was very cold-hearted. His gentleness was reserved only for Summer.No one knew how much Julia envied Summer.After crying to the point of exhaustion, Julia was taken away in the end.She suffered at Victor’s place and was hurt by those people… She was only thinking about Samson and only thought of protecting the child. She wanted to return to Samson as soon as possible. Only in this way could she have a momentary sense of security.But Samson was so ruthless. He did not love her.How could a dirtied girl like her be worthy of Samson's love?But she had no over the top expectations, was it wrong to keep a child?She did not feel that she had done anything wrong. She did nothing wrong!"Why... why are you doing this to me?" What did she do wrong? Since she was born, her family had been very poor, and her family prefe
Samson raised his head and glanced at her. The disappointment in his eyes turned into a knife that stabbed into his heart. In the end, everything had changed.His Summer was gone."Jasper doesn't want you..." Samson said plainly."Impossible, Jaz could never not want me, he’s injured, I remember he protected me, you’re lying!" Summer was a little emotional. Samson, it was Samson again! She hated Samson!Samson could feel that the current Summer… hated him."Sorry, you can hate me. Let's make a bet. Stay with me for a month. In a month… If Jasper still wants you, I will never stop both of you again." Samson's voice was very soft and hoarse.Summer stood up slowly and asked tentatively, "Really? Just for a month?""Yes, just one month." Samson nodded."I know ‘her’. She loves you very much. I know I am not the master of this body, but 'she' said she’s very tired, and she wants to sleep. She asked me not to disturb her and let me stay with Jaz. She said if it’s possible… she wants me to
At Sea City Hospital..."Young Master, Mrs. Miller and Young Master Benjamin came over. They took a look from the outside and did not come in," the assistant whispered as he stood by the hospital bed. "Young Master, how do you feel? Are you experiencing any discomfort?""My mom didn't cry?" Jasper found himself a little troubled. He was always helpless when it came to Melody’s tears. "Mrs. Miller held back. This time, she held back well." The assistant nodded vigorously. He did not dare say that Melody's eyes were red. "Mrs. Miller also wanted me to tell you something… I don't know if I should say it."The assistant took a deep breath. He was afraid that his life would be in danger if he went on."Speak." Jasper frowned."Mrs. Miller said that what goes around comes around. It's not that you’ve escaped your karma, it’s just that the time hasn't come. Look, you took the bullet for someone else, and it’s what you owe her. You deserved this!" The assistant coughed softly and said, "If it
As chance would have it, she fell in love with Jasper after Summer lost her memories.How could a person love two people at the same time? Even if they had different personalities, one of them inevitably had to be sacrificed."I only promised you that as long as you listen to me obediently, I will eventually let you go to Jasper in a month, but… for this one month, you must be completely obedient to me, understand?" Samson's words were full of threats.Summer bowed her head in fear and did not dare to look at Samson. "But......""What? Don’t you have any confidence in Jasper? Or are you afraid that Jasper will change his mind and fall in love with another person within a month?" Samson's words felt oppressive."I don't..." Summer shook her head and clenched her fists tightly."In this month, no matter what happens or what you hear, you’re not allowed to take a step out of the mansion. If you can do that, I will give you freedom." Samson glanced at Summer and turned to leave.He was not
“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.
