âJasper, can you help meâŠâVictoria was almost in tears as she spoke, and she wore an innocent expression as she raised her head to look at Jasper.âWhatâs wrong?â Jasper was staring out the window in a daze. He only returned to his senses abruptly when Victoria hugged his arm tightly.âJasper, donât you think that Summer Plath is being too much?â Victoria asked probingly. âWhat should we do now? Samson had always believed in everything she said to begin with, and right now, heâs definitely so deceived that he canât even see the truth. My dad told me this afternoon that Samson Ardly terminated the cooperation between Ardly Corporation and Dawn Corporation. Heâs trying to push us to a corner.âAs 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.âSo, what do you want me to do now?â 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.âAlright!â Samson said firmly after a long moment of silence.It was Summerâs 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 Samsonâs 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.âCough,
âYou know who did it, donât you?â Adrian was a little angry, and he forcefully threw the examination report onto the table. âYou must get operated on as soon as possible! And there are also the blood clots in your brain. Youâll die if you continue to delay your surgery for that. Both surgeries are urgent matters, but they canât 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?âSummerâs 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?âTell 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?â Adrian was so fur
âDr. Seawind, give me some time. Iâll try to receive surgery as soon as possible.ââYou better not wait for too long, or else even the Gods wonât be able to save you.â Adrian warned Summer.âThereâs actually another matter I want to talk to you about, Dr. Seawind.â 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.âI heard that the Seawind family had always been involved in the biomedical industry. Bioeternal Pharmaceuticals belongs to your family, right?â 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. âUh?ââBioeternal 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 companyâs funds have been put into this research, and there havenât been any visible results
After he finished speaking, the other party hung up.Summer hesitated for a moment and glanced at her cell phone. âSir, can you change the destination to Speedy Bar?âAt 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 drinkâŠ?âSir?â Summer approached the man and asked.âSumâŠâ still lying on the couch, the person moaned.As she stood beside the man, Summerâs 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 Summerâs first time seeing Jasper drunk. Most of the time, he would be calling out Victoriaâs name when he was drunk.âMiss, do you know this person or not?â the bartender walked over and asked.âI⊠I donât.â Summer stood up abruptly and wanted to leave immediately.âSummer!â Jasper was still drunk, and he called out to her subconsciously w
Jasper lowered his gaze. There was no way that he could refute that.âJasper, Iâm covered with wounds, and Iâm dripping blood all over. And all these are thanks to you.ââSummerâŠââOh, by the way, on my way here, the driver told me that youâre getting married to Victoria Dawn. You guys have even set a date for your wedding. Why are you still fooling around with another woman here?â Summer cut Jasper off and whipped out her cell phone. She then showed Jasper the screen.All the news headlines were about Victoria and Jasperâs engagement. They talked about how Jasper had successfully proposed to Victoria, and there was an interview where Victoria shyly admitted that they had already set a date for their wedding. âChairman Miller, I wish you guys all the best, and I hope that the two of you will have a baby soon.âSummer forcefully withdrew her wrist and snorted coldly.âSummer! Why must you speak such harsh words to me?!â Jasperâs expression was a little dark. Summer knew very well
âF*ck off and continue looking for her!âUpon arriving home in the afternoon, Samson realized that Summer was not around.He did not even take a momentâs rest before rushing out of the mansion to look for Summer. But he could not find her even after a long time.He was tremendously frightened.He was terrified.He had always thought that he was the kind of person who would never be afraid of everything. But right now, he was in fear.From the moment he met Summer, he had a weakness.His gaze became sharper and sharper, and he gritted his fists.Summer was his weakness, and he would never allow anyone to hurt her.As for those who were crazy enough to hurt her, he would never let them off the hook.âYoung master, Miss Victoria Dawn has been standing outside the door for an hour. She looks like her body isnât able to take it anymore, and she isnât wearing much either. What if something bad happensâŠâ Samsonâs subordinate was a little worried.âIâll wait for you to tell me about
âI just find it hard to accept the truth. I donât actually hate youâŠâ After staying silent for a long time, Summer spoke again. âIt was⊠too sudden for me. Give me some time to process this.âMabel looked at her in shock and covered her mouth. âSumâŠâSummer smiled at her and said, âBefore Iâm able to completely accept it, can I continue to call you Madam?âMabel covered her mouth in panic and nodded vigorously. âSure⊠Call me anything you wantâŠâShe actually never cared what Summer called her. It was good enough for her as long as she did not try to avoid her. âCan I hug you?â Summer took the initiative and stretched out her arms. Jasper had told Summer quite a lot about Mabelâs 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 familyâs mansion. âWifeyâŠâ Jasper rushed over to her, wanting to give her a surprise. But instead, she did not react. Her face looked pale too. âWifey?â He panicked and knelt in front of her. âSumâŠâHe truly panicked this time. âDid she find out about something that I did in the past and is now mad at me?ââJasper, do you care who my mother is?â Summer asked softly. His heart stopped beating for a second. He felt both distressed and relieved. âNo, I donât. I only care about you.ââWhy do I care so much, thenâŠâ Summer smiled and hugged him tightly. âI shouldnât care about it tooâŠââEveryone has something that they donât have control over. Sum, go easy on yourself.âSummer 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.âSumâŠâ 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. âMadam, stop cooking. Come and eat,â Summer called out to her softly. Mabel smiled at Summer as she emerged with her favorite dish, cinnamon-spiced beef stroganoff.âSum, letâs eat.â 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. âSum, follow me.â After dinner was over, he asked her to go to the study room. âIs Jasper treating you well?â Alaric asked. âYes, heâs treating me well.â She smiled. âIf Jasper hadn't been busy and gone to Mountain City, he would be sticking around, bothering me.ââHe 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.ââSum, thereâs something that Iâve been hiding from you. Youâve always wanted to know your biological mother, right?â A
âMr. 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?ââI do,â Jasper said the two words confidently.âIâm willing to take care of her and be by her side forever.âIâll always love her.âSheâll always be my number one.ââMs. 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?ââ⊠I do.âShe purposely hesitated for a long time. Jasper was so scared that his face turned pale.After she chuckled and said âI doâ, 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.âJasper!âJas
Benjamin rolled his eyes at Aaron. âI belong to the bride's side. You should go to Jasperâs side.ââHe doesnât deserve it,â Aaron said stubbornly.Summer covered her mouth and chuckled. Everyone was immersed in the festive atmosphere of the wedding.ăăâWouldnât it be nice if we could stay this happy all the time?ââHey, should we play a prank on the groom tomorrow? Letâs spice things up a little!â The bridesmaids started planning something.âYou guys better be careful. Youâre all pregnant. Donât stir up too much chaos,â Summer said with a smile. âSeriously, itâs as they say: women always side with their husbands once theyâre married. Look at you, youâre already siding with him.â A few of them teased Summer. Summer blushed so hard that she could not say anything in response. âCongratulations, Sum.âHers and Jasperâs 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 Edwardâs mother because of her meeting with Hannaâs mother.She sat on the sofa and thought a lot. Would they get a divorce? Would Edwardâs father hate her because of this?Edward sat on the sofa and quietly accompanied his mother. âAbout this matter... Let's not tell Jen first. She may not be able to handle it.âEdwardâs mother nodded, in tears. Then, she shook her head. âIt was all my fault.âEdwardâs father finally came out of the study. Edward looked at his father nervously. He was afraid that his father would blame his mother.âI... 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!â Edwardâs mother panicked and started crying. Edwardâs father walked to her side. He did not blame her, but passed her a tissue. âIs this how you should behave in front of your son? Stop crying.âEdwardâs mother sobb
âI deserve it!âNieva 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.âŠâŠ At the Reeves family house in Mountain City...âAre you Hanna Delacruz? Letâs talk.âEdwardâs father asked Hanna to go into the study, leaving Edward and his mother in the living room.âEdward, I already know about the issue concerning your father.ââMom...â Edward felt a little guilty. âI know about everything.â Edwardâs mother shook her head. âThis matter is related to your father and me. This is what owed Hannaâs mother, but if you two have to pay for our mistakes. We...ââMom, this is no oneâs fault.â Edward shook his head. In the study...Edwardâs father asked Hanna to go into the room. His expression was dreary. âAre you Venusâ daughter?ââDo you still remember my mother?â 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 Roseâs son, even if Rose had used a despicable way to give birth to him.âLetâs go home...â Samson walked toward Charlie and rubbed his head.âSamson...â Charlie lifted his head, and his eyes were red.âFrom now on, you have not just me, but your friends, younger brothers and sisters, and many older brothers and sisters who love you.â 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 familyâs 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.âTsk, tsk, tsk. Do you know Aiden, who is always with Thomas?â He was Summerâs 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.âJasper frowned. âSince he did not want to let Summer know about this, why is he making Summer more distressed?âJasper admired Aiden a lot because he never showed his love for Summer, but he had silently done many things for Summer.âJasper, you can just confess if youâre scared. You donât have to put yourself in a higher status.â Keane rolled his eyes.âFine, you will go to Country T for a business trip.â Jasper was threatening Keane.âJasper, Iâm sorry, itâs my fault...ââŠ...The wedding was getting closer. Everyone was busy helping Jasper and Summer with their wedding.âLook at the dresses and gowns for my grandchildren.
