“Yadon called. He asked about you.” Jasper sighed. “None of my business.” Natalie snuggled in Summer’s embrace silently. From the moment she brushed shoulders with Yadon, their relationship was completely over.Their ties were completely cut. “Sum, I’m thinking of changing my stage name. What do you think?” Natalie smiled as she asked. Summer’s heart ached as she looked at her. She then nodded. “Are you letting the company choose for you, or are you going to choose it yourself?”“I’ll see what the company says.” Natalie nodded. “Rest well. I’ll see you again tonight.” Natalie was always so sensible. She was so sensible that it made Summer’s heart ache. “Oh, yes. Summer, Chairman Miller, when we were attacked, I grabbed this from a person. Have a look and see if this serves as a clue.” Natalie remembered something and picked up a cuff from the table beside her. It was a golden cuff with a purple gem.“That’s not from Rose’s men!” Summer was shocked. She stopped breathing
Unsurprisingly, Rose was released from jail after forty-two hours. It was now official that Rose and Samson had a grudge against each other. There would only be one winner between the mother and son. “Are they tricking us? Or did Samson make these people change their minds?” Aaron was slightly enraged. He was very upset. “Damn it! Samson only knows how to get the people he cares about out. Aren't we humans too?”“They might just want us to quarrel with each other.” Benjamin was calm as he stood quietly. “Wait for a while, even if they change their minds, they would have let us know.”“Benjamin!” Jasper stopped his car at the side of the road. Summer ran over nervously, her legs were a little weak. “Benjamin, I'm sure Ace has something to do with this. I'm sure of it…”Summer started to panic and felt a little scared.‘Have I been too in over my head recently? Did I assume that I can get away from Ace or think that I can fight against him?’“Don’t worry.” Benjamin took a deep b
“Are you two crazy? What are you guys doing?” Aaron rushed over to stop James. He looked at Victor, feeling puzzled. “Where’s Ivan? Did he watch you get beaten up?”Victor did not reply to him. He only sat on the ground and laughed like a lunatic. “He admitted it. He’s the one who let the people kidnap Adrian and the child. This bastard has been in touch with Rose all this time!” James was emitting an unusually cold aura. Jasper looked at Victor in a profound manner. Victor was also looking at him.‘No, things are not as simple as they seem.’“Where is the child?” Aaron asked as well. Even if Victor was being playful, he should not have done this. They could kidnap Adrian, by why did they take the child away too?“How would I know? I’m only responsible for contributing ideas. I did not do any of this. I told you, your lives and deaths have nothing to do with me.” Victor was just asking for a beating. James clenched his fist tightly. He had the urge to continue to punch him.
The scrapyard was filled with scrap metal, old cars, and scrapped car frames. There were also old cargo containers not far away.Bang!Ivan obediently kicked the container again. “Did you hear it? I’m afraid that I might scare the children if I kick too hard,” Ivan whispered.“Continue!” Victor frowned. “Okay…” Ivan did not dare to anger Victor. He continued to kick the container forcefully. Summer followed after Jasper vigilantly. She vaguely heard the noise of the container being kicked. “I hear it! Ask Ivan to keep kicking.”Ivan picked up a stick on the ground and hit the metal door of the container.“I heard it!” Aaron located the place while remaining wary. He then swiftly rushed toward the direction and ripped off the chain that kept the cargo container locked with all his strength. Bang!Ivan kicked the door open and jumped out. “Damn, who are the people that are trying to mess with us?”Summer stopped breathing for a little while. She rushed into the container and
Summer’s gaze darkened for a moment. Her hands were shivering as she carried her child. “Benjamin, take care of the child. I’ll go meet him.”“Sum!” Benjamin carried the child as Summer passed her to him. He then subconsciously grabbed Summer’s wrist. “Please think this through.”‘If she goes, Ace might not let her come back.’“I’m worried about Jasper. If Lydia’s incident has something to do with Ace, he’ll not just only want to keep Jasper away. I have to go back to Ace and make sure Jasper is safe,” Summer whispered.She should not stop Jasper from going to Lydia. She knew how it went from Victoria’s incident. ‘Jasper is very affectionate. What’s more, Lydia is the sister he grew up with.’ “You can schedule Jasper’s journey to Mountain City or let Jasper’s men go instead…” Benjamin felt troubled. He could not figure out what Summer was thinking.“I don't want to stop him. He’s not himself when there are too many things forcing his actions.” Summer shook her head. Her gaze f
She had no playmates except for Benjamin during her childhood.Before they were in their teens, Alaric and his wife were focused on their careers. Only later did they gradually focus their attention and care on Summer.Samson could not be sure, but Summer's looks did not look in anyway similar to Madam Plath's appearance.Summer looked very sweet, was tall and fair, and had some soft European and American facial features, yet she did not have the strong genes that would determine the looks of a mixed-race person.He once asked if Summer was of mixed race, because her looks really did not look like those of a pure Asian.So at the beginning, when he and Summer walked together, everyone said that they were a good-looking pair, and they were even thought of as fashion models.Summer said that her mother had one-third of a Country M native’s ancestry, her grandmother had mixed-race genes, and her father was a pure Sea Citizen, so her genes were not very obvious.At that time, Summer
Cosmo had heard of the Coleman Corporation before, but the Coleman Corporation had been down for many years, and now not many people in Sea City’s commercial district would be willing to mention it.‘I heard that the Miller family used to follow the Coleman Family. At that time, the owners of the Miller family and the Coleman Family were good friends. The two started their businesses together and laid a solid business foundation in Sea City.‘Later, the Coleman family started walking down the wrong path and almost monopolized all the businesses in the Sea City commercial district. They let in some foreign companies to build their business, which led to local small and medium-sized enterprises being unable to survive.‘Perhaps due to widespread indignation and discontentment that the Coleman Corporation disappeared completely during a turn of events. They were neither not considered to be bankrupt, nor did they announce that their capital chain had ruptured. It was just that the pers
But would she instruct people to hurt Lydia?"I don't know who this phone number belongs to. Furthermore, you can’t tell much by just the recording and the phone call. We still have to find those people," Jasper lied subconsciously. He did not believe that Summer could do such a thing.But she planned everything to force the primary identity to go into deep slumber...Jasper did not dare and did not want to think about it."Our men have already gone after them, don't worry.""I want to see Lydia," Jasper said in a deep, low voice.Regardless of whether Summer did it or not, he wanted to cover this matter up...If it were really Summer, he still selfishly did not want Summer to be hurt..."She won’t allow anyone to see her. She’s very emotional." The police officer shook his head. "The people in the forensic examination department have already gone to test the sperm. They won’t be able to escape."Jasper was a little absent-minded. He clenched his fists firmly. "I'll make a cal
“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.
