“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
The psychiatrist looked at Jasper worriedly and said, "Her condition is quite serious. If you don't humour her for the time being, I'm afraid she will try to take her life again."Jasper's face turned a little ugly as he lowered his eyes and looked at the doctor. "So?""It's best to adhere to the patient's treatment and see to the patient's wishes. It’ll be for the best if you cooperate for the time being," the psychologist said nervously, feeling uncomfortable with Jasper's dreary aura."If she wants me to marry her, then do I need to divorce my wife to cooperate with her?" Jasper asked coldly."I..." The psychiatrist did not expect Jasper to be so straightforward and did not know how to answer. “You just need to cooperate as much as possible. You don’t need to really divorce her. You can just act along... As long as the patient can pass this period smoothly, her illness can be placed under control by taking medicine during the later stages, and if you take into account the patien
The possibility of it being a trap was great. "Then, you’ve found the right person. I want Samson's children to live," Summer replied."Good. Tomorrow afternoon, after Mr. Colden Ardly's funeral service, let’s meet in the small grove behind the cemetery," Victoria whispered.She had asked Summer out to take the opportunity to get rid of the child in Summer's belly...As for Julia...Her eyes darkened, Victoria clenched her fists tightly.She should not blame her. This was the way the world worked. People had to use each other."Okay." Summer hung up and looked at Ben in puzzlement. "The fox wants to negotiate with the rabbit to protect the children in the belly of another fox. Does that make sense?"Ben shook his head aloofly. "It doesn’t make sense, but... from what I know about my mother, she really won't let Samson's children survive."Ben knew what Rose wanted. If Samson had an heir too soon, it would be nothing but a threat to her."She would even use her own children,
"Three years ago, Mr. Larson came to me begging like this too. My greatest regret was agreeing to trick Lydia for her to receive medical treatment. If I didn't agree to it at the time, maybe Lydia would still be undergoing her medical treatment, wouldn't get into the car crash, go down the cliff, and go missing for three years." Jasper kissed Summer's forehead and hugged her tightly."So, this time, I won't make the same mistake again. Besides… I already have a wife and my child. The act will always be seen through. If she can't endure it now, does that mean I have to trick her forever?"It was not that Jasper was selfish. He had Summer and the child in Summer's belly. If he cannot even take care of his wife and children, why should he care about Lydia?He felt that he had already been very tolerant of Lydia. "Yeah, trickery only goes so far, she has to come out of this by herself." Summer smiled and nuzzled into Jasper's arms in a very sweet manner.She had been worried that Jas
“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.
