"Jasper! Jasper! Jasper!" Just as he hung up, Keane called again."What's wrong?" Jasper felt annoyed. "I saw Samson!" Keane said in a low voice excitedly."He went to Princecourt Hotel to find Summer?" Jasper panicked, got up from the sofa, and ran out quickly.He could not let Samson take Summer away."No, no, no, that’s not it!" Keane said as he tried to gasp for air. "I'm following him. Isn't Speed D opposite Princecourt Hotel? The one that’s under the Caesar family. I saw Samson enter that hotel. He seemed to be giving off a gloomy aura, and he even brought his men along too. Is something wrong? Or did he get the wrong information?"Jasper had been running when he came to a screeching halt. He suddenly remembered something. "Have you met Cosmo before?""The one from Universal Movies? I’ve met him before, what's the matter?" Keane was puzzled."How do you think he looks?" Jasper asked again."A grown man, but good-looking?" Keane was a hopeless straight man, and he could
"Chairman Ardly!" River felt like killing someone when he rushed into the hotel room. He never expected that those people would treat Cosmo like this.He was a man!No normal person would associate this sort of thing with a man. And yet...these people did it, and they did it so disgustingly. "Do you want to kill him?" Keane held Samson's arm back after knocking someone out.He seemed to have gone crazy. Every punch he hit was deadly. "Take them away. Treat them the same way, as long as they don’t die, torment them as if you’re trying to kill them!" Samson kicked the person's head. He felt his vision blacking out. Keane took a deep breath. He even heard the sound of the man's neck breaking.He looked at Cosmo, who was lying on the bed. His pale face was bloodless. His upper body was covered while his two long legs were exposed...Keane could not understand it at all, how could these people do such a thing? To a man?River was standing next to the bed with ragged breathing. C
"Samson..." Cosmo called out his name in a daze.Samson stopped walking for a moment. He put Cosmo on the bed and wiped his hair with a bath towel.He was unconscious and slept for a long time. When Cosmo woke up, it was already midnight."Let go of me!" Cosmo woke up suddenly and then looked around in panic. This place is...He looked around in shock. He was actually in Samson's master bedroom!Samson never let him into this room!"Hiss!" He took a deep breath, Cosmo's whole body hurt as if he had been quartered. Tears welled up in his eyes instantly. He dared not recall what happened."Forget about it, forget it all quickly..." He was good at convincing himself. The past was meant to be forgotten...But why couldn’t he forget it this time?He wanted to forget the past, then find a girlfriend, have children to continue the family line, and live the rest of his days well...Wasn't that what he wanted before? That’s right...He could do it. He could definitely do it. "Sam
“Sometimes, it’s also wrong to remain silent if you knew what was going to happen.” Summer sat on the sofa weakly and shook her head. “How about you? You know that I’ll be worrying for you, and you have so many ways to leave Jasper immediately and come back to me. But you came back to me after 42 hours... And you’re even wearing Jasper’s shirt. Summer, what are you trying to hint at me?” This was the first time Ace felt that his heart was aching. This was also the first time he disliked the feeling of being seen through by others. “I’m always not sure what kind of relationship we have. Is it the relationship between a doctor and patient? Or are we friends? Or are we brother and sister?” Summer raised her head and looked at Ace as she said this. “But I know my relationship with Jasper. We’re husband and wife. He is my husband.”Summer did not want to make Ace get worked up. She just wanted him to understand the situation. “Ace, I asked you before. How does it feel to love someone
Samson called Cosmo many times, but no one picked up the phone. He kicked the table agitatedly, and the items on it broke into pieces. Rose seemed to know that her son was mad. She kept hiding from Samson. Samson had gone to the old mansion two times, but he did not manage to meet Rose. Samson massaged his brow. After all, it was him who let down Cosmo, because Rose was still his mother by name.“Where did Cosmo go?” After making the call, Samson leaned against the sofa and felt unprecedentedly tired. The frustration he had after each failure made him have difficulty in breathing. Regardless of whether it was Summer or Cosmo, he did not manage to protect them well. He was too conceited…Jasper was right. All this had happened because he did not manage to protect Summer well. “He went back home. I’ve been following him. Don’t worry.” The man on the other side of the phone sighed. “These rascals...”“Watch
“Get in the car!” After throwing away the cigarette in his hands, Samson pushed Cosmo into the car. It was his mistake that led to this. He did not expect Rose to do something so horrible. “I’ll tell you a secret.” Cosmo snuck a peak at Samson and said with a timid voice. “Go on.” It was rare that Samson was so patient with him. It must be because he pitied Cosmo, right? It made sense. It was pretty sad for a man to go through that stuff. Cosmo lowered his head and looked at his hands. He felt that saying this secret would cause a stain on others’ reputation. “Are you not saying it?” Samson asked after seeing Cosmo become quiet. “If you don’t say it now, don’t say it later too.”“I liked Summer before.” Cosmo smiled. He raised his head and looked at Samson, even at the risk of Samson killing him. Samson’s hands froze for a while, and he subconsciously slowed down. “You’re blaming me for not telling you the identity of Naomi... I have my reason. Aside from you, I don’t
Cosmo’s ears flushed red, and he remained still for some time.Although he wanted to die because of what he had experienced, he was too timid to do so. After sighing, Cosmo took the medicine on the bed and went to the restroom. Then, he should not die. Since he was dirty, he might as well continue living like this. It was not as if there was anything wrong with it. “Jasper, do you think... Cosmo will attempt to kill himself?” At the mansion by the seaside, Keane was terrified by what he saw in the daytime, and he felt that he could not wrap his head around it. “No. He loves his life.” Jasper sighed. Summer must have known about this matter. “That Roth should really die.” Keane had a chill down his spine. He could not imagine that. “Do you think, between men...”“Shut up!” Jasper was not in a mood to discuss this with him. “Stop bothering me.”“Ahem,” Keane cleared his throat. “Jasper, are you sure this has nothing to do with Ace?” Keane immediately changed the topic
At Sea City Hospital...“Chairman Miller, you’ve recovered from your illness, and your health is pretty good now, right?” The doctor took the report and walked into the ward. There was nothing wrong with Jasper after checking him using a gastroscope. “Why are you vomiting blood again?”“Later, if someone comes here, just say that I have late-stage cancer, and I’m dying soon. Make it sound as real as possible.” Jasper looked around and gave a threatening glare to the attending physician.“It’s better to say that his brain is malfunctioning too. Just say that he injured his head during the accident, and make him sound more pitiful. Something like he can’t even take care of himself,” Keane said and smiled. He was eating some snacks and came over for the show. The doctor understood and nodded. He just needed to do what the patient asked. “What happened to Jasper?” Outside the door, Yadon greeted the doctor who came out from the ward. “Why is he hospitalized again? Is he okay?” “Si
“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.
