“Sawadee ka!”“Ka, my foot!” Jasper walked out in his pajamas and kicked Keane’s leg. “Why are you here so late? When did you come back?”“I just came back. Aunty says that you went mad. So, I immediately came back to take a look and see whether your head was damaged.” Keane walked around Jasper a few times and stared at him carefully. “You’re indeed a little strange.”“You’re the strange one. Go back now! Stop bothering my wife when she’s trying to sleep.” Jasper glared at Keane and gave him a signal that said he would be beaten if he refused to leave.“Jasper, I treated you as my brother, and you just treat me as your cousin? Don’t you know the reason I’m back? I work for you, and now, you’re regarding me with disdain? I came late because of the flight delay. Is that my fault now? I came back in a hurry to look at my sister-in-law. I wanted to see what kind of goddess made my brother forsake Miller Corporation!” Keane was curious. He was excited.“Get lost!” Jasper gave him a furious
“Hello?” Adrian called out anxiously after the call was connected. “Yone, what's the matter?”“Adrian, you’re not coming back to the mansion in West City, are you?” Yone sounded a little nervous.“Ah, the hospital is extremely busy right now, so I won't go back for the time being,” Adrian replied.“Adrian, do you have time now? Can we meet?” Yone asked in a low voice, and she sounded a little insecure.“What's the matter? What can I do for you?” Adrian looked at the time. It was almost eleven o'clock.“I…”Yone did not dare try to speak. There was a lot of background noise at the other end of the phone.Adrian frowned. Yone might be in trouble. “Adrian, I’m fine. It's late. You should rest.” With that, Yone hung up.Adrian furrowed his brow, feeling a little worried. He called Yone back, but she did not pick up the phone. “Do you have that much free time in your hands?” Adrian got dressed and was ready to leave. James was a little upset.“No matter what, we’re still not sure whether
Adrian sucked in a sharp breath. That person used a lot of force in his swing. “Are you okay? Are you stupid? Why did you rush towards the direction of the stick?” Adrian grabbed James’ arm nervously and rubbed it carefully. He was relieved when he made sure that there was no fracture.‘Wait. Is this guy made of steel?’James looks down at Adrian as he emanated an extremely dreary aura.“Who are you? Why are you barging into someone else’s business?” The leader was shocked and was slightly afraid of James After all, James was a person of mix-blood, and the aura he let off was really scary.A person who was over 190cm tall would always give people a sense of fear.“Get lost!” James did not intend to say anything else. The people from outside came in and chased the ruffians away.Yone subconsciously became nervous. She stood behind Adrian. “I'm sorry to trouble you, sir…”Several of Yone's friends were so shocked that their jaws fell slack. ‘Who's this guy? He is so handsome!’“Can we
Jasper went to Miller Corporation early the next morning. Today was his last board meeting. He would also finish handing over all the tasks today. After this, he would be leaving Miller Corporation for good.“Young Master, Samson took the opportunity and acquired a large number of industries that were previously under Miller Corporation. He even... Are you sure he’s not retaliating as he pleases right now?” The assistant came to pick Jasper up, and he looked a little annoyed.“This is just normal competition.” Jasper didn't say much. Before he left, he looked at Summer, who was standing in the living room as she sent him off.‘It’s such a great feeling to know someone is waiting for me and will accompany me when night arrives.’“He's gone? What are you worried about?” The small brat stood behind Summer like a little man. His hands were in his pocket, and his expression was cold. “Those people will soon find out about my existence. We have things to do today. Come with me."”“Benny boy
“Where did you get this footage from?” Summer was shocked. This brat was a little too capable.“The reason I’m back in Sea City is because I want to make a business deal with Plath Corporation and Miller Corporation. It’s a pity that Chairman Alaric Plath is missing. Jasper from Miller Corporation is also removing himself from Miller Corporation. From the looks of it, that person is very successful in his plan. He was able to create a mess in Sea City,” Ben said coldly with an indifferent gaze. “I want to continue surviving in the family, but my brothers won't let me live long. Regardless of which of them leads the family, it’s not good news to me.”Ben understood things very well. His teacher had taught him that he should never rely on anyone except himself.“So, you’re in Sea City because…” Summer looked down at the eight-year-old boy in front of her. She was no longer startled. Instead, she felt her heart ache for him. ‘What did this eight-year-old go through that forced him to beh
Ben was stunned for a moment. He frowned. “How childish.”Summer ignored him and proceeded to buy cotton candy. “Benny boy, look at what granny bought for you.” Over at the other side, Melody walked toward him with a Pikachu plushie in her arms and a smile. “Granny will take you to buy clothes and toys later.”Ben glanced at Melody, then at Summer, who came over with cotton candy. His heart was beating a little quickly. Actually, he desired these things as well.Even if he felt that it was naive, he still instinctively hugged the plushies tightly. One of his companions in the training once told him that there was a yellow little squirrel who could discharge electricity. It was called Pikachu.“Will it discharge electricity?” Ben asked subconsciously. His eyes were a little out of focus. Summer patted Ben's head, feeling pity for him. “Of course, but it can't transform now. Or else, it will be discovered.”Summer was cooing at the child seriously. Ben rolled his eyes. He took the c
Ben, who was beside Summer, spoke in a cold voice. His eyes shone with a threatening spark. It was only then that Rupert saw a little child with Summer. "Wow, where did this boy come from?""Don't touch him!" Summer's eyes darkened. She raised her hand to smack Rupert's hand away and took a step back with Ben behind her to protect him. "Ha, should I call you Naomi or Summer?" Rupert smirked and raised his hand to tilt Summer’s chin. "I say, did you cause such a huge ruckus just to abandon Samson and choose Jasper?"Summer ignored Rupert as she protected Ben and planned to leave."Oh, don't leave yet. You didn't plan that Miller Corporation would be snatched by Benjamin, right? Jasper is trash now! He’s a man with nothing, you might as well choose me." Rupert did not intend to let Summer go so easily. His eyes were filled with bad intentions."This person’s really annoying," Ben stated in a cold voice."He’s from the Trump family, Rupert Trump," Summer replied in a low voice.
"Auntie, Jasper has not recovered from his illness yet, and he’s not dead as well. Now, the company is in the hands of outsiders. Do both of you still have a place in the Miller family?" Victoria gritted her teeth and mocked her resentfully. Rupert frowned. He pulled Victoria and hinted her to leave. After all, Melody was still Marvin's wife, and it would not do any good to offend her."Don't worry, my son will live well even if you died!" Melody's face turned red with rage. This woman had been evil since she was a child."Auntie, don't you know? Summer is Samson's fiancée. The two have been dating for seven or eight years. You don’t even know whether the child belongs to Samson or Jasper." Victoria forcefully shook off Rupert's arm. With bloodshot eyes, she said, "Maybe she’s smart. She knows that Jasper is dying, so she’s going to get whatever Jasper has first, then get back together with Samson..."Smack!Before Victoria finished speaking, Melody slapped her.Summer looked at
“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.
