Wade waited for Summer downstairs at Plath Corporation. When she got out of the car, he said worriedly, “I wonder what has taken over these people’s minds lately. They believe Plath Corporation is going to change ownership. They’re afraid that once you and Jasper are officially married, it would directly impede certain people’s interests.”Summer nodded. She could somewhat understand what they were worried about. Once they were married, Jasper would take over Plath Corporation. Some people would definitely not be able to embezzle as much money as before. Jasper was from Miller Corporation. If a CEO wanted to manage a corporation well, he or she would definitely use his or her own people. The senior employees in Plath Corporation were probably afraid that Jasper would fire them.“They didn’t manage to calm down because of what you said. Now, they’re even more aggravated.” Wade shook his head. Ever since Chairman Plath went missing, these people started doing whatever they liked.
“You’re absolutely right.” Summer nodded. The people in the meeting were stunned. They did not expect Summer to agree with them without a fight. They had already come up with ideas on how to make her shut up.“So, you mean… Plath Corporation is without a leader now. Even if we, the seniors, have not made any contributions, we still contributed to the company for the effort we put in. We have the right to get more shares in the corporation. Your father promised us that if the market of Sea City is established, we will be part of the company!” Someone used her father's words against her.Summer nodded as she kept a friendly expression. “You’re right.”Everyone stared at each other at a loss. ‘Is this Summer really a fool, just as the rumors said?’‘She agreed to whatever we said. Won’t she want to stand up for herself?’“So, how do you plan to distribute the shares? Who should manage the corporation?" Some people stopped beating around the bush and asked directly.“I wonder who I
At the mansion in West City...“Young Master, it’s true that Ms. Summer went to Plath Corporation.” After the driver had returned, he told Jasper that Summer had gone to Plath Corporation. Jasper felt uneasy. He stood up, took his coat, and headed out. “Start the car. Head to Plath Corporation. At the branch of Plath Corporation…‘The two biggest troublemakers are dealt with.” Summer smiled as she stood up. "And as for some of you, I heard that your children are studying in Country M. My mother and the president of University XX in Country M are good friends. Do you need my help?”Everyone in the meeting room instantly fell silent. They looked around in fear. They were not sure what else Summer had found out about them.This only daughter of the Plath family looked harmless. Who would have thought that she would decide to go for underhanded tricks?“Ah, by the way. Mr. Lawth, I've a huge impression of you. I remember that you introduced a manager of the foreign affairs depar
“I'll get a lawyer to notarize it. Plath Corporation belongs to Summer, and I won't get a single cent from it.” Jasper looked at the man with a cold gaze.Summer looked at Jasper nervously. ‘If it’s as he said, doesn’t that mean he’ll be working at Plath Corporation for free? How can this be?’“No, you…”Jasper smiled at Summer and whispered in her ear. “I won't work for free. I ought to give every cent that I earn to my wife.”Summer's face turned red in an instant. She hid behind Jasper and did not dare to speak.Wade nodded at Jasper with a profound smile.“If none of you has any objections, I hope you will not have any objections in the future. Let’s all work hard on making money and carry out our responsibilities accordingly. I’m a very protective person. If any of you annoys my wife in the future, I may side with her and not listen to reason at all.” Jasper's words were full of threats.The rest of the people looked at each other. There was no guarantee that Jasper would n
Jasper furrowed his eyebrows slightly. ‘Lydia committed suicide?’Summer was able to hear what Adrian said as she was leaning pretty closely to Jasper. Her heart clenched. ‘Lydia…’ “Follow me back to the main mansion.” Jasper subconsciously grabbed Summer’s wrist. No matter what, he refused to let go. On one hand, Jasper was worried that Lydia really took things too hard. But on the other hand… He remembered Victoria also attempted suicide and used it to threaten him. At that time… he chose to let go of his little fool. He even projected all his rage at her. “Jaz, are you nervous?” Summer wanted to calm Jasper down. She watched as Jasper drove the car with one hand and gripped her hand tightly with his other hand. But when she thought about it in another manner, Lydia used to be his dearest sister. How could he not worry?“No, I’m scared…” Jasper was feeling a little fearful. He was worried that Summer might evoke memories of the past and take revenge on him.Summer was st
Adrian could not deal with Lydia’s temper. "Nope, no way… Godmother, you shouldn’t be trying to harm the people around you.""Son, this has nothing to do with harming you. Lids knows you inside out!" Mr. Larson was crying badly, whereas, on another side, Melody was trying to do a matchmaking session for Lydia."Lids, listen to your dad, listen to me, you are the only daughter I have. Please, don't scare me." Mr. Larson cried hard."Godmother, I won’t be enough. We know each other too well, I can’t do it." Adrian took the opportunity to refuse and hurried to Mr. Larson to help him up. "Mr. Larson, don't worry, she will come out after a while. Lydia has always been sensible since she was a child, she’s not like that kind of unreasonable kid.""It’s because she has been sensible since she was a child. As her father... I let her down!" Mr. Larson blamed himself. As a father, he could not give her what she liked ever since she was a child. "Mr. Larson, Mom, how’s Lydia's situation?" J
"Don't think too much, you will lose if you think too much." Ben calmly and steadily followed Summer into the car and reminded her."Jasper begged me to persuade her to give up this evening. He knew that Lydia would definitely make a scene if things were explained clearly, but I didn't expect Lydia to cause such huge trouble." Adrian pursed his lips. It seemed like Jasper was not going to give him the car that he was fancied."Yeah. Jaz just wanted to make things clear in front of everyone so that Lydia won't come and find me to stir up any more trouble in the future. She brought some people to come to me in the morning, and she insisted on me doing a paternity test. Maybe she’s being controlled..." Summer glanced at Ben, he should already know that this matter had something to do with his mother."She even brought them to your doorstep?" Adrian was shocked. He and Jasper always accommodated her before this. Lydia would indeed be a little conceited sometimes, but never to this exten
James nodded politely and took Adrian away. "Then, I will take this person back to the ward first. Anyway, he’s of little use except being noisy."Jasper nodded with great approval.As these two came to a mutual agreement, Adrian was pulled away."How’s Lids?" Melody walked over anxiously. "Mr. Larson was so anxious that he had a heart attack. He’s still being given oxygen. I’ve been running back and forth between both sides, and I’m about to die of panic. Say, why did Lids... why would she commit suicide?""Granny, don't worry, it will be okay." Ben acted as a cutie to comfort Melody....Although Melody seemed to be almost the same age as his mother, so he felt a little guilty by calling her, granny."Ah, Benny boy, you’re so good. You even know how to comfort your granny now." Melody’s heart melted like butter. She did not seem to be as scared as she was just now. "Benny boy, your words will come true. She’ll definitely be fine."Summer hugged Jasper's arms even tighter. She w
“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.
