Whenever she contacted Victoria, Rose, or Victor, she kept a copy of their conversation as evidence. The problem was just that Victor, that lunatic, was not afraid of others having any evidence against him. “Just rest assured and give birth to your children for now.” Summer was not in a rush to deal with Victoria. For the time being, Victoria was no better than a homeless dog. At most, she would just do something in desperation. After hanging up, Julia looked at Cosmo gratefully. “You want to take the children away? It’s impossible. Samson wants the two children as well,” Cosmo whispered. He was worried that Samson might have heard her. “There are two babies, so he can have one.” Julia had thought carefully and decided that she would give one of the children to Samson. This way... they would still be connected. “Just rest well.” Cosmo felt that it was a bad idea. With Samson’s character, he would not give Julia either of the children. At Princecourt Hotel...After retu
Cartier came through the door in a rage. He was so mad that his fingers were trembling. “Dad...” Victoria called out unwillingly. Since she had married Rupert, she needed to greet her father-in-law. “What happened?” Rose smiled. “Why are you so angry?”“Jasper Miller, that scumbag!” Cartier started cussing Jasper. “We failed to get the project in the Western District! It’s because Yadon Caballero from Far Ocean Corporation took action! Who doesn’t know that Yadon and Jasper are besties? They’re just cooperating!”“So, Jasper can’t be suppressed anymore?” Rose’s aura instantly became dreary. “I just found out that Mayor Watts was the uncle of Jasper’s cousin! They’re relatives. Samson is helping too. They knew it was useless for us to invest money in it, so they just watched as Trump Corporation suffered a loss worth a few hundred million. Now, the company is even having difficulty with the cash flow!” Cartier was so mad that he wanted to kill everyone. His son was a useless p
After coming out of the hospital, Natalie was forcefully pulled into a car and brought to the seaside mansion. “Mr. Yadon, what do you want?” Natalie was a little anxious. What was he trying to do?“Did I give you permission to leave? What do you mean by the message you sent?” This was the first time Yadon was rejected by a woman. “Mr. Yadon, our contract has expired, and I’m free now. I’m thankful to you for taking care of me for the past three years. Can’t you just let go of me?” Natalie did not understand what Yadon was trying to do.“If the contract has ended, we can just sign a new one. I’ll just renew your contract. That will do, right?” Yadon grinned and thought that Natalie wanted him to become her sugar daddy again. Natalie remained silent for a while before she smiled bitterly. Yadon never understood what she wanted. Because he never cared about her. He just thought that she was easy to use over the past three years. “Mr. Yadon, three years ago, I was short of m
Buzz!The phone vibrated. “Summer, did you receive the things?” It was Victoria who made the call. “Victoria? You knew that my father went missing?” Summer was not stupid, and she knew Victoria was not capable enough to plot all of this. “Of course, not only did I know about your father’s disappearance, I also know where he is. He is in a dangerous situation, and he may die anytime soon.” Victoria laughed. Summer clenched her hands warily and felt a chill in her heart. “I know you have the habit of doing voice recordings on your phone. I’m not worried about you recording my voice. But if you dare talk about this to a third person, including Jasper, I’ll make sure you receive the news of your father’s death the next day.” Victoria threatened her coldly. Summer did not say anything but listened quietly. “Summer, I’ll give you two options. First, wait for your father's death. Second, don’t tell anyone. Once you hang up, turn your phone off and put it on the table. Then, del
At the main mansion of the Miller family...“Jasper came yesterday and asked about Rose Rogers.” Marvin sighed and drank his tea on the sofa. “Do you think I did too many wrong things in the past?”“It has been so many years. What else can you do even if you were wrong?” Melody sighed and rubbed her brow. “It’s just that our children suffered for this.”“I think Mr. Larson’s death has something to do with Rose too.” Marvin grabbed the teacup angrily. “I’ve asked someone to investigate this, and this woman is definitely involved in it. Three years ago, she brought Lydia away and brainwashed Lids to become how she is today. She wanted to kill my son three years ago! This woman is indeed... Whatever happened between both of you has nothing to do with my son. Do you think Melody Ferrell can be bullied easily?!” Melody was very furious and stomped her feet. Marvin glanced at his wife and groaned in resignation. “Then do you know that the little brat who you like so much, the one you
She would be waiting to see what would happen to Summer once Jasper was dead.But she was actually still saddened by Jasper’s death.“I need to go. Summer, think about it. If you really want to see your father again, contact me.” Victoria got up and left swiftly. Summer stared at Victoria’s figure as she left. The uneasiness in her felt even more intense. She did have some understanding of Victoria. She was not very smart, but she felt that things were simply not quite that simple.“Miss!” Right after Victoria left, Wade hurriedly came in. Summer’s eyelids started twitching rapidly. Suddenly, her heart ached. “Wade, what is it?”“Miss! Quick, go to the hospital with me. Something happened to Young Master Miller!”Summer suddenly could not quite breathe. Her hands were numb as she clenched them tightly, and her vision blurred. “What… happened?” Summer asked in a hoarse voice as she gripped the table.“Young Master Miller called me a while ago. He asked if you were okay and
“Benjamin, I thought they would make a move on me. But they targeted Jasper instead,” Summer said in a hoarse voice. She raised her hand and covered her eyes. “They’re forcing my hand, Benjamin. They’re forcing my hand…”Benjamin took a deep breath. He was worried about Summer’s condition. “Don’t be anxious.” “You know, my father is missing. If anything happens to Jasper… They’re clearly pushing me over the edge. They just don’t want me to live in peace,” Summer spoke with a choked-up voice. When she spoke, she faltered. “We’re still not sure about Jasper’s condition. Here, have a candy!” Benjamin took out a milk candy. He opened the wrapper and fed Summer the candy. “Listen to me. Take a deep breath, don’t think about anything. We’ll wait for Jasper’s results, okay?”Summer lowered her head, and she did not look up even after a long time had passed. Her body was still quivering terribly. Aaron, who was beside her, became nervous for a moment. He immediately got Summer a glass
Before Summer’s primary identity had disappeared, she told Samson that the secondary identity was born from darkness. She was a personality born to withstand all the darkness and pain that was thrown at her. That was to say… that this Summer, in essence, was not as pure and innocent as she seemed.“I just cut your radial artery. If you don't give me the evidence, I'll let your child suffocate in their mother's body.” Summer put the bloody knife around Julia's neck. She looked extremely pale. “Oh, yes. The longer you delay, the more deoxygenated the babies will be. Even after they survived, they might turn out mentally stunted…”Summer knew that the twins were Julia’s only Achilles' heel.Julia looked at Summer with a horrified gaze. It was as if she could not recognize this woman. This intense, scary aura was worse than when she met Victor.“Tell me, now. Where is the evidence?” Summer growled. “Don’t force me to slit your throat.”Behind them, Samson sucked in a deep breath as
“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.
