Summer’s field of vision was slowly becoming clear again. She carefully scrutinized Jasper’s face.It was indeed a very familiar face, and he also looked similar to Samson. Now that she thought about this, it was not without reason that she had relied on him so much after she lost her memory...“Mr. Miller, don’t you think that what you had just said would hurt Miss Victoria Dawn a lot? Or do you perceive lovers and sugar babies as two different things altogether?” Summer smiled. “You want me to go home with you and continue being a sugar baby who doesn’t get to see the light of day? To help you out by trying on Victoria Dawn’s wedding dress and picking out your wedding rings before quietly staying in the mansion like an idiot and waiting for you to get into a good mood and give me a shred of affection?”Back when Jasper forced her to try on Victoria’s wedding dress and pick out his and Victoria’s wedding rings, the designer had asked Jasper what he was going to do with Summer after
Did he not work so hard so that this young man, who hated him a lot, got to take over a family business that was doing well?Colden Ardly sighed and decided to compromise. “I don’t mind keeping my hands off the business. Sea City belongs to young people like you now, anyway. But since you are taking over the business, you must maintain a civil relationship with Jasper Miller. This is important so that our family and the Miller family can continue expanding our businesses without stepping into each other’s territory. Try your best not to piss Jasper Miller off.“Father, there is no need for you to worry about this as it’s my personal problem. Don’t you want to get rid of Jasper Miller too?” There was a hidden layer of meaning to Samson’s words. He propped his chin up with his arm on the table and looked into Colden Ardly’s eyes. “Without Miller Corporation, our family would hold all the power in Sea City.”Colden Ardly narrowed his eyes. His son was more ambitious than him indeed.“
“Jasper, can you help me…”Victoria was almost in tears as she spoke, and she wore an innocent expression as she raised her head to look at Jasper.“What’s wrong?” Jasper was staring out the window in a daze. He only returned to his senses abruptly when Victoria hugged his arm tightly.“Jasper, don’t you think that Summer Plath is being too much?” Victoria asked probingly. “What should we do now? Samson had always believed in everything she said to begin with, and right now, he’s definitely so deceived that he can’t even see the truth. My dad told me this afternoon that Samson Ardly terminated the cooperation between Ardly Corporation and Dawn Corporation. He’s trying to push us to a corner.”As she spoke, Victoria started sobbing.For some reason, Jasper was a little agitated. He was not an idiot. Of course he knew that Victoria had always been using him. In the past, he willingly let her do so. But now, he was growing tired of it.“So, what do you want me to do now?” Jasper ask
She could not take the fact that Samson was treating her so well. She was afraid that she would not be able to repay him.For a year, Samson had to live with the fact that she was dead. If she were to die for real this time, what was going to happen to Samson?As for Summer, she had no will to live at all.Whether she was able to get to the bottom of the matter and find out who was scheming against her or not, the ending would be the same.She would not agree to surgery.Hence, with the limited time she had left, she wanted to try her best to make it up to Samson.At the same time, she selfishly wanted him to forget her.“Alright!” Samson said firmly after a long moment of silence.It was Summer’s first time seeing the ocean at Sea City.And instead of Jasper, the person by her side was Samson.She had always wanted to see the ocean at Sea City because of Samson’s promise in the past. But after she lost her memory, she became even more obsessed with the notion because of what
Summer sat in a corner at the bathroom and opened the paper bag.The cell phone Adrian gave her as well as the bracelet, which was the only gift Jasper ever gave her, were inside.A tear rolled out of her eye and fell onto the bracelet. Summer was trembling violently.Once upon a time, she treasured the bracelet very much.Even when she committed suicide, she was reluctant to jump into the river with the bracelet on.Summer rose slowly and tossed the bracelet into the toilet bowl. Her fingers were trembling as she pressed the flush button.Everything that happened in the past year was like a dream. Now that she had woken up from the dream, all of that should end.She turned on the cell phone and glanced at the screen. Her wallpaper was still a photograph of Jasper that she had secretly taken from a magazine cover.She almost tossed the cell phone into the toilet bowl too. But after hesitating for a moment, Summer decided to change the wallpaper and keep the cell phone.“Cough,
“You know who did it, don’t you?” Adrian was a little angry, and he forcefully threw the examination report onto the table. “You must get operated on as soon as possible! And there are also the blood clots in your brain. You’ll die if you continue to delay your surgery for that. Both surgeries are urgent matters, but they can’t be carried out at the same time. We must first remove the steel needle in your thoracic cavity first. If it causes a lung infection, you will feel worse than death. Do you understand?”Summer’s eyes were a little glassy, and she slowly clenched her fist.Of course she knew who did it.It was Victoria Dawn...But what could she do about it? She only slapped Victoria across the face twice, and Jasper looked like his heart was torn to shreds.Could she beat Victoria at her own game?“Tell me the truth. This incident… And also, the fact that you were kidnapped and lost your memory. All of these have something to do with Victoria Dawn, right?” Adrian was so fur
“Dr. Seawind, give me some time. I’ll try to receive surgery as soon as possible.”“You better not wait for too long, or else even the Gods won’t be able to save you.” Adrian warned Summer.“There’s actually another matter I want to talk to you about, Dr. Seawind.” Summer smiled and nodded.This was the main reason she was here today. She only decided to get a checkup while she was at it.“I heard that the Seawind family had always been involved in the biomedical industry. Bioeternal Pharmaceuticals belongs to your family, right?” Summer said with a smile, and her demeanor instantly transformed into that of a businesswoman.Adrian narrowed his eyes as he gently tapped the table with his fingers. “Uh?”“Bioeternal Pharmaceuticals has been pumping too much money into the research of HIV medicines and vaccines, to the point that the company is spending more than it is earning. Almost all the company’s funds have been put into this research, and there haven’t been any visible results
After he finished speaking, the other party hung up.Summer hesitated for a moment and glanced at her cell phone. “Sir, can you change the destination to Speedy Bar?”At the bar.By the time Summer arrived, the person was still lying on the couch, and he was dead drunk.How much did that person drink…?“Sir?” Summer approached the man and asked.“Sum…” still lying on the couch, the person moaned.As she stood beside the man, Summer’s body went numb. There was a pang in her heart as she slowly sat down on the next couch.The man on the couch, who had drunk so much that he cut a sorry sight, was obviously none other than Jasper.It was not Summer’s first time seeing Jasper drunk. Most of the time, he would be calling out Victoria’s name when he was drunk.“Miss, do you know this person or not?” the bartender walked over and asked.“I… I don’t.” Summer stood up abruptly and wanted to leave immediately.“Summer!” Jasper was still drunk, and he called out to her subconsciously 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.
