“Adrian is too close with Jasper.” James shrugged. But it was very easy for people to misunderstand that relationship. “Besides, Jasper’s private life is too disorderly, and the rumors about his relationships are too negative. He has multiple girlfriends, but they never stay too long by his side. He even cast Victoria to the side and is no longer attentive to her. And she’s someone he proposed to before…”“He’s seriously…” Benjamin rubbed the centre of his eyebrows, feeling troubled. Jasper was just trouble. “You were growing up in Country M since you were young, and the Ross family’s thought processes are seriously very harmful… You might not know this well, but Sea Citizens care about friendships a lot, and it’s especially so for people like Jasper.”“I don’t care whether Adrian is just friends with Jasper or whether it’s something else. It’s enough as long as Adrian is important enough to Jasper.” James’ eyes turned dark. He did not want to talk about Adrian anymore. “I think tha
“Also, there isn’t just one person targeting you right now. There are a few lunatics who are targeting you simultaneously, and there is even one lunatic who has gone after my life multiple times for you.” Benjamin pointed at Jasper as a warning. He hoped that Jasper could understand the meaning behind his words. “Sum is my younger sister. We’re currently enemies. At that time, if you can’t protect her, don’t blame me for taking her away.”Jasper said nothing. If Summer wanted his life, he would give it to her. Meanwhile, in Sea City’s newspapers…[Jasper Miller has announced that he has removed himself from Miller Corporation, and he has also publicly admitted that he will no longer interfere with all matters related to Miller Corporation.][The former blessed son of God has nothing now. Will Jasper Miller be able to rise to power again?]“He’s playing the fool!” In the Miller family’s main mansion, Marvin threw the magazine angrily on the table. Right now, all the newspapers in Sea
She struggled against the ropes. Summer’s wrists were already red and swollen because of how the ropes bit into her skin. Her skin had also torn. She endured the pain while she twisted the ropes, and she spent a lot of energy before she finally broke free of the ropes in a somewhat professional manner. She nearly broke her wrists. “Woman, aren’t you going to pay attention to me?” The boy saw Summer going over to look at the time bomb, and he was slightly stunned. Was the woman not going to care about him?“Didn’t your mother teach you manners?” Summer looked at the wires of the time bomb closely and frowned a little. “This is controlled by a balancer. You can’t diffuse it. If we move it, it will explode. Call me Big Sister, then, I will untie you.”Summer got up and smiled. She walked to the boy. The youngest son of the Ross family?This family was…“Big Sister? You’re an old lady!” The boy panicked a little. He listened carefully to the frequency of the ticks from the time bomb. “W
"Don't you have anyone you can trust?" Summer did not want to take him back and cause Jasper any trouble."No!" The little boy gripped Summer's wrist tightly and forcefully. He did not trust anyone, including the woman who was his mother.Summer was stunned for a moment. How could a seven- to eight-year-old boy be so indifferent and calm?He did not have anyone to rely on, which meant that he did not even trust his mother and father or the people who were the closest to him. The Ross family was indeed infamous for producing odd individuals.After hesitating for a while, Summer took the little guy home."Sum!" Jasper rushed into the bedroom in alarm when he heard that Summer was back.Right after Summer took a shower, she wanted to secretly apply some medication on her back."Jaz..." After panicking, Summer subconsciously covered herself with a bath towel as she did not want Jasper to worry.Jasper breathed a sigh of relief before he walked over and grabbed a hold of Summer's wrist to
The little boy frowned slightly with a look of disdain. Nevertheless, he was very cooperative as he looked at Jasper and Summer. "I don't remember who I am."He sounded extremely aloof. Summer gulped. Who would believe him?Bang! Jasper glanced at the little boy carefully, closed the bedroom door with one foot, and shut the little boy outside.The little boy made a face as he stared at the door, which was less than one centimeter from the tip of his nose, and gritted his teeth."Lad, what's your name? Auntie will bring you somewhere to eat." The servant was fond of children and tried to coax him away."I don't remember." The little boy shook his head and told her that he had no memory of his name."In that case, you can have something to eat first." The servant had no choice but to wait for Jasper to come out and solve the matter himself.In the room, Jasper held Summer in his arms as he emanated a gloomy aura. He cautiously got her to lie on his body so that he could help her apply
"Mom, why are you here?" Jasper felt troubled as he realized that his home was destined to not know peace. "You still have the galls to call me your mother? Have you read the news and what people are saying on the Internet?! They can’t even be suppressed!" Melody was so enraged that her expression was unpleasant. She was not angry with her son for announcing his relationship with Summer to the public. A grown woman like her did not need to consider the effects of that from various aspects. She only knew that her son finally discovered what love was and understood what was most important to a woman.Since Summer was his choice, he definitely needed to give her a status. The Miller family would not mistreat her in that regard. Benjamin had also previously mentioned why Jasper announced his withdrawal from Miller Corporation in advance and wanted to have a clean cut with Miller Corporation. Jasper was afraid that the news about himself and Summer would affect Miller Corporation."It won
As Jasper was suddenly pushed away by his mother, he felt a little confused for a while."Um… Jaz..." Summer almost cried in shock. Her eyes were red, as if she had seen something horrifying."Mom, don't scare her, my wife is timid." Jasper felt troubled as he hurriedly held Summer in his arms."Yes, she’s timid, she’s so timid that she isn’t afraid of time bombs. She’s seriously so timid." The boy sat calmly in the restaurant, wearing an oversized T-shirt that did not fit him as he peeled eggs without lifting his head."This… Is this my grandson?" Melody’s mind went blank for a second, and she took a long time before she managed to react. "And who did you have this child with?”"Auntie, are you my grandma? She’s my mother!" The child was deliberately messing around. He got up from the chair and pointed at Summer before he said that she was his mother.Summer's eyes widened in surprise. She did not have a son that old. "Y-You... What are you talking about?""Um, Mom, I picked up the ch
Adrian sneered, wrong hornet’s nest? Would that hornet be James or Jasper?In fact, he knew very well in his heart that the other party was treating the idea of killing him with the heart of gamblers. When he tried to kill him, James would come to protect him. These two people were kicking him around like a ball.In short, neither of them was a good person.When did provoking James become a bargaining chip between them?This man was really a scourge.Boom! Adrian quickly fled after kicking the person.He might not be able to afford provoking them, but he could hide from them. "Hiss..." As he just walked into the apartment door, a person came at him with a knife in the dark."You’re putting me up on a really high pedestal. You actually sent so many people just to kill me…?" Adrian was going crazy, and now he had no time to call for help, let alone... he had insisted on moving out from James’ place. If he asked for help now, he would feel embarrassed.He would also absolutely not dare
“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.
