“Natalie, stop pretending to be dead. Get up!” Grace was frightened to death. She only wanted to take a few pictures of Natalie to threaten her. She did not want to kill her.“Natalie!”Natalie curled up on the floor as her vision blurred. Grace and the rest immediately fled in fear. They would be in trouble if Natalie really died. “Yadon…” Natalie swiped through her phone weakly. She wanted to call Yadon. Natalie was afraid… she wanted to see him… Unfortunately, the call did not get through, Yadon did not pick up her call. She smiled bitterly, and she lay limp on the floor. ‘Yadon should be with his fiancee at this moment.‘Or perhaps he’s with a new girl.‘He’s Yadon after, all. He never cared about women. ‘He never cared because he never found himself lacking in women.’“Natalie?” The set was dark, but the toilet was still lit. Luckily, Aaron coincidentally met Grace and the rest when he came in. After looking at how nervous they were, he knew something was wron
“Take good care of yourself then,” Summer comforted her. Her fingers were a little numb.It was already about three in the morning when Natalie finally fell asleep. Summer sat in the hospital’s corridor quietly for a long time. In the beginning, Summer was kidnapped. Then, she met Jasper, and after that, Alaric went missing…Everything seemed to be a cycle, and someone else had already written the script. ‘Rose is smart. She’s a psychologist and knows how to play with people’s feelings. But… there is definitely still someone controlling her… ‘Who could it be? Could it be my father?’Summer shook her head hard. ‘That seems impossible. Rose and Alaric stand opposite each other in many areas.‘Who could it be?’“I have talked to the doctor. Her injuries are not serious. She should be okay after receiving transfusions for several days.” When Aaron came back for Summer, she was in a daze in the corridor. She seemed to have a lot on her mind. “Should we go back?”“Yea, I've ask
“Samson, are you really not going to sleep? I’m sleepy.” Cosmo was so sleepy that he yawned. ‘Why does Samson look so awake?’“Go and sleep if you’re sleepy,” Samson said in a really dreary manner. He never did quite have a lot of patience with Cosmo. Cosmo pouted. He did not head back to his room. Instead, he napped on the sofa for a while. Samson would only reveal his doting smile at Summer. As for other people, including himself, Samson would treat them as if they had owed him millions of dollars. Cosmo was already used to it. But he could do nothing about it. He had a favor to ask of him, after all. There was nothing he could do about it… “Sir, Ms. Julia looks pale, and she’s sweating a lot. I’m guessing that she’s having a terrible stomachache but she’s trying to bear it in silence.” The nanny hurried over and she said worriedly, “Could it be that she’s afraid of going to the hospital?”Samson nodded. He knew the reason why Julia was afraid to go to the hospital. “Ah
“Sir, the surgery was originally very successful. The twins are a boy and a girl. Although premature labor might cause the babies to be weak, they are very healthy. However…” The nurse's forehead was sweaty. Then, she spoke again nervously, “However, during our suturing process, we suddenly found massive abdominal bleeding. Now the doctor is rescuing her… You should be prepared in advance.”Samson’s heart dropped. The babies were delivered, but Julia might not come out.Even though he had been on guard when it came to Julia this whole time, after staying with her for long, he found that… Julia was really good to him.Samson nodded weakly as he warned Cosmo in a cold voice, “Stop following me. Go and settle everything that needs to be signed…”Cosmo nodded and stopped following Samson around. He knew that from the outside, Samson looked aloof, but on the inside, he was actually very vulnerable.If the doctor said that Julia was critically ill, he would still not be able to accept
Jasper was woken up by his assistant’s continuous phone calls early in the morning. His head hurt due to the hangover after drinking the whole night. His head hurt terribly as he watched Yadon sleep on the floor. ‘Did I do anything crazy last night?’“Hey, wake up! Your phone is ringing.” Jasper kicked Yadon’s leg, asking him to pick up the call.“Hello…?” Yadon sat up with a headache. He answered in a sluggish and irritable voice.“Yadon, you need to help me. Sob…” At the end of the line was Grace crying up a storm.“What happened?” Yadon was a little annoyed.“Yadon, the shooting ended quite late last night at the crew set. Natalie blocked me in the washroom and warned me to stay away from you. Sob…” Grace whined, “She’s not as fragile as she looks. She hit me and even pushed me. She accidentally lost her balance and slipped onto the floor. She complained to Summer and now SN Holdings wants me to apologize to her. And if I don’t, they will cancel my role. Sob… Yadon, you m
“I say, is the wine you collected fake?!”“Don’t drink with me, then. Get out!”“Hah! Do you actually think that I want to drink with you?”“Oh, really? Do you think you’re being reasonable by staying at my place after being dumped by your woman?”As soon as Summer and Cosmo sat down, Jasper and Yadon, who looked as if they were mortal enemies with each other, walked in.“You…” The atmosphere became solemn for a long time. Jasper was stunned when he saw Summer. He felt anger beginning to rise within him. Samson was not in the mood. He could not be bothered to talk to Jasper. He snorted and did not even greet him.“Oh, what a coincidence. Mr. Miller, Mr. Caballero.” Cosmo was very clever when it came to social situations. After all, Jasper and Yadon were not someone he could readily offend.Yadon nodded at Cosmo politely. He noticed Samson was in a bad mood and ignored him to avoid trouble.“You want to divorce me just so you can be with him, right?” Jasper walked towards Su
“Are you done? Let’s go.” Samson looked at Cosmo. It was obvious that Summer had lost her appetite. Cosmo was the only one who had been eating.Cosmo looked at the food on his plate and felt sad. He only had his starters and soy milk so far. His main course had not arrived yet. But Samson would not care about that.All Samson knew was that as long as Jasper was around, Summer would feel uncomfortable. And when Summer did, he would feel uncomfortable as wellCosmo sighed as he pushed his sandwiches aside with a jealous heart. “I’m done…”Summer was in a daze. She did not notice that Cosmo was actually still not done with his breakfast yet. She hurriedly stood up and left the restaurant. Jasper, who was initially arguing with Yadon, noticed Summer had left. He became angry again. “Look at her. She’s purposely avoiding me!” Jasper stood up and chased after Summer. ‘No matter what, I won’t let Summer follow Samson back today.’“Summer! Come back home with me!”“Come back home
“I’m going overboard? If you’re so capable, just continue and report to Yadon. Let’s see who Yadon will save!” Grace seemed to be confident that Yadon would choose her.“It’s early in the morning. Who allowed this lunatic to come over here and cause a ruckus?” Summer walked over while feeling dizzy. Even when she was still far away, she could see Grace acting all smug.“Summer! Don’t go overboard, I respect you as the chairman of Plath Corporation, but don’t go thinking that you’re amazing!” Grace hated Summer acting all high and mighty. Did Summer think that she was amazing? She was just a woman who used two men to sit in the leading position.“Let me warn you, either you apologize, or get lost!” Sumer frowned slightly, and her expression was gloomy. “Sum, you didn’t have enough rest, right? You look really pale.” Natalie was a little worried. She whispered this question. “I’m okay.” Summer smiled at Natalie and shook her head. “Why do I need to apologize? I did nothing wrong
“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.
