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
“Was it your doing? The kidnapping of Adrian and the children, the kidnapping of Aaron, and making such a big move," Summer inquired in a hoarse voice.Ace just put Summer at the passenger seat and helped her fasten her seat belt."What do you want? Why can't you let me go or just let me stay with Jasper for a while? You know that his health—""His body is perfectly fine!" Ace interrupted Summer and emanated a dreary aura.For the first time, Summer saw anger on Ace's good-looking face."What…?" Summer did not know what Ace meant."He is lying to you with the doctor, understand?" Ace said coldly and drove away with Summer.He did not take Summer to the hotel room because he and other women had stayed in the hotel room. It was very dirty and not worthy of Summer."Even if he lied to me, I am willing to be fooled," Summer said with a choked voice while looking out the window. "Even if you take me away and lock me up, I am not willing to stay by your side.""Seems like you’ve bee
"Summer, don't push me away. You shouldn't reject me. Look into my eyes."Ace's words seemed to be enchanted, and they made Summer feel a shiver run down her spine."Ace...""Be good now, listen to me, I'm here. No one will ever hurt you again, no matter who.""Summer, they are all hurting you. Those who keep saying that they love you, whether it's your father, mother or Benjamin, or even Jasper and Samson, they actually hate you. It took you such great pains to get this body and let the primary identity fall into a deep slumber. Are you willing to throw it all away? Samson's team of experts has already arrived in Sea City, and one of them is my teacher..."The air was still for a long time, and Summer's breathing slowly eased, as if she could only hear her own heartbeat."Sum, if we’re going up against my teacher, I might not be able to protect you, so… You have to protect yourself, understand? In this world, no one can hurt you."At Mountain City…"Lydia said that she doesn'
“Babe, are you alone in the bar? You look so familiar. Did you just have a breakup?”Not far away, there was a woman in a red slip dress and high heels who was drunk. The assistant, Carter, could not help but glance at that woman a few times. That woman’s figure was truly smoking hot, and no man in the bar did not glance at her. Was it not too dangerous for a charming woman like her to drink alone in the bar? “Get lost!” The beautiful woman seemed to be in a bad mood. Carter looked at the woman’s back, it was enough to make men go mad for her. He wanted to know how this woman looked, considering her alluring body shape. Jasper looked at this assistant with a dreary expression. “Why? Like that woman?”Jasper had such an experience in the past, so he smiled and kicked him. “Don’t go for anyone else. Just go for this. Just go if you like her.”The assistant’s face instantly flushed red. “How can it be? Young Master, please don’t tease me. I’m just curious that since she has suc
No matter what, Lydia had grown up together with Jasper. Even if they were not lovers, they were at least family. But now, Lydia had encountered such an accident, and the culprit could be his own wife. This kind of feeling caused great conflict in him.“Sir... let’s drink together.” That beautiful woman who was drinking alone was surrounded by too many men. Indeed, a woman like her would attract many men to come close to her. The beautiful woman was agitated with these men. She looked around and staggered toward Jasper because of her drunkenness. Then, she sat beside Jasper, held the wine glass, and smiled at him. “Sir, do you have a girlfriend?” The woman had a good smell on her body. It was not perfume, alcohol, or tobacco, but a faint shampoo smell. That was similar to Summer. Jasper narrowed his eyes and waved his hand to show off the ring on his ring finger. “I have a family.”“What a waste... You’re the only one in the bar who caught my attention.” The beautiful woman was
“Azula.” This name suits you a lot. What is your family name?” Jasper said faintly and wanted to find out. “Handsome, do I need to give you my identification card? Those who work in my field often use only a stage name. Who would use their real name? I can give you my identification card, but we have to get married later. Would you dare to do it?” Azula smiled. She had wavy long hair, and under the streetlight, her skin was as white as snow. It was so good looking that it was breathtaking. Perhaps for a woman. This level of beauty was the deadliest weapon. “I’m sorry, I already registered for marriage with someone else.” Jasper frowned and turned his ring.“I told you my name. Shall we spend a night together?” Azula stopped walking, straightened her body, bent her waist, and twirled her hair. “Don’t disappoint me. Sir, do you perhaps… have problems over there?”“Cough cough cough!” The assistant was still following behind in the car. He kept coughing when he heard the woman tal
“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.
