“Ask someone to investigate Victoria Dawn.”Samson spent a lot of effort coaxing Summer to sleep. He then went downstairs in his sleepwear.He glanced coldly at his cell phone before he headed to the balcony and lit a cigarette.“Young master, it’s cold out here.” His subordinate went over to the balcony with a coat and wrapped it around Samson.After Samson was done smoking the cigarette, he remained standing on the balcony for a very long time.After he was certain that the smell of cigarette smoke no longer lingered on his body, he turned and returned to the living room.Summer hated it when he smoked.Once upon a time, he stopped smoking because of Summer. But after Summer disappeared, he began smoking more and more.“Young master, are you going to continue smoking?” His subordinate asked in a hushed tone when he saw that Samson had tossed the cigarette box, from which he had only taken one cigarette, and his lighter into the trash can.“I’m going to stop. From now onward,
“So, you’re heading to the Ardly family’s mansion tonight, right? I’ll give you your birthday gift tomorrow.” Jasper had actually forgotten that Victoria was the Plath family’s official goddaughter.“I don’t need a present. But the thing is that my parents had been eyeing this project in West City lately. I don’t know what’s going through my dad’s mind. He doesn’t have the financial capability, but he wants that plot of land no matter what. As his daughter, I don’t know what to do. There’s just a pang in my heart now whenever I think about it.” There was a hidden layer of meaning to Victoria’s words. She was actually gently reminding Jasper to help the Dawn family out again.Jasper furrowed his brows. He lowered his gaze to glance at Victoria.If this had happened in the past, he would definitely give his personal assistant a call and ask the latter to help the Dawn family out privately. But now… He was starting to feel that Victoria was merely treating him as a tool.And the stron
“We’re not sure yet. Our men are still investigating who the person who saved Miss Plath was!”“Keep going! Find Summer as soon as possible!” Jasper said hurriedly. He was clenching his fists so tightly that his knuckles had turned white.“Mr. Adrian Seawind is here.”Before the assistant could reply to Jasper, Adrian barged into the door, and his expression was rather dark.“Jasper Miller!”Adrian tossed the medical record from Summer’s accident a year ago on the table, and his eyes were a little red. “You asked someone to delete the record of Summer’s stay in the hospital a year ago, didn’t you? If it were not for the fact that I found the hard copy, how long did you plan to hide this from me? No wonder Summer could not find her family even after being in Sea City for so long! You never wanted to help her find her family, right!?”Jasper furrowed his eyebrows. He did not defend himself.When he first brought Summer back home, he had indeed thought about keeping her forever.B
“My daughter is the recognized goddaughter of the Plath family. The Plath family doesn’t have any children anymore, and they don’t have an heir. In the future, everything that they own will become my daughter’s.” Victoria’s mother was a little drunk, and she had started boasting.All the wives of rich and powerful men were extremely envious, and they were trying their best to suck up to Victoria’s mother.After all, all the businessmen in Sea City were doing foreign business.And all businessmen who were doing foreign business had to try their best to suck up to the Plath family.“Ah, you guys really lucked out. If the young mistress of the Plath family wasn’t kidnapped and dismembered, your daughter wouldn’t have had such an opportunity.” Some people who were not in good terms with the Dawn family started mocking them, and their words were laced with jealousy.“Why are you being so jealous? If you have the ability, you can let your precious son luck out too!” Victoria’s mother st
“Vic, you’re the recognized goddaughter of the Plath’s family. It’s such a great thing, isn’t it?”“Vic, aren’t you going to put in a good word or two for us when you’re in Country M?”Everyone was sucking up to Victoria, and this made her feel really good.Back when she hired people to kidnap and eradicate Summer, Victoria had thought about how this day would come.These people would suck up to you when they needed you, but they would treat you worse than their enemies when they did not need you.Fortunately, she had won this battle.The moment Summer died, all the recognition and attention that should have been hers to begin with finally belonged to her. She was the center of attention everywhere she went.“Don’t worry. I’ll definitely help you out if I can. My godmother and godfather are really nice to me. I’ll mention you guys when I talk to them.”Victoria flashed a pure and innocent smile as she socialized patiently with these people.As the top socialite in Sea City, sh
Jasper stopped in his tracks, and he did not return to his senses even after a long time.That woman who was emanating such a powerful aura was not Summer.At least, that person was not the little rabbit he had been keeping in his mansion.“Vic, are you okay?” Jasper really wanted to rush over and pull Summer into his embrace as a way to warn Samson that she was his woman, but he ended up walking over to Victoria and helping her up.Tears welled up in Summer’s eyes, but it was not obvious because of the makeup on her face.He cared so much for Victoria. This was even more reason for her to make their lives hell!“Isn’t this the waitress from Princecourt Hotel that day? It’s only been a few days, and you’ve managed to seduce the young master of the Ardly family!” The rich woman who was making things difficult for Summer during Samson’s welcome banquet walked over. There was a mocking expression on her face. This kind of slut would never be able to make it as a socialite.Summer g
“Mr. Miller, thank you for taking care of me for the past year. Even though I had lost my memory, I subconsciously remembered some things. You look a little similar to my fiance, and this is why I relied on you a lot for the past year. I would like to apologize to you for that.” Summer forcefully withdrew her arm and coldly reached out for Samson’s hand. She then turned to look at Victoria.“Victoria Dawn, if I remember correctly, you were into my fiance for a long time when you were in Country M. What happened? Have you fallen in love with Mr. Miller instead?”Jasper’s body went stiff for a long time, and his hands were extremely numb.Summer… She said that he looked a little similar to Samson.He was the first person she saw after she lost her memory. So, the only reason she relied on him so much was because she saw him as Samson’s replacement?All along, he thought that he was using Summer as a replacement for Victoria. However, at the end of the day, he was the one who was a r
Such a huge plot twist had just taken place that everyone was left dumbfounded.“Mr. Miller, have you lost your memory?” Summer asked. She shook her head violently, but her field of vision was still dark.“Sum?” Samson asked probingly when he saw that something was not right with Summer.“Take me home…” Summer said in a soft voice as she leaned against Samson’s chest. She then fainted.“Sum!”“Summer!”Jasper panicked. He even admitted that he was panicking.He rushed out of the venue after Samson, but Samson did not allow him to go near Summer at all.“Jasper, you know what you’ve done. I’ll take my time to deal with you later.” Samson glared at Jasper before he entered the car.Samson’s subordinates stood in Jasper’s way, preventing him from going forward. Jasper could only watch as Samson took Summer away.“Damn it!” Jasper kicked the pillar beside him. He really felt like killing someone.......Victoria watched as Samson left with Summer in his arms. She was leaning ag
“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.
