“You feel that I should know about this, but I’m just suspecting this.” Summer smiled and shook her head. Bang!The interrogation room was pushed open. “Captain Synder, the upper management made a call and wants us to release Ms. Summer now! Ms. Summer’s husband is now waiting outside.”“Sir, can I tell the truth to my husband?” Summer asked faintly. Jasper had finally found her. “Don’t you think that you can know his true self if you hide this from him? I heard that Miller Corporation is going downhill recently, and if Jasper wants to rebuild his company, he can’t afford to have any negative news. Take a guess. What will he do when news of you throwing your weight around and taking revenge on Jasper’s ex-girlfriend spreads out?” Casper lit up a cigarette in the interrogation room. This time around, he did not seek Summer’s permission. “So, Officer Synder, you’re not planning to close this case?” Summer showed that she would try to cooperate with him. “The culprit who hurt
“Jasper, you abandoned me once because of Victoria. Will you abandon me for another woman for the second time because you have lost your memories?” Summer asked profoundly. Summer’s voice was so soft that Jasper could not hear what she said after he got out of the car. That night, they did not fall asleep for the whole night. At midnight, Jasper’s phone would still light up. Now, had he disabled the “do not disturb” mode just to let Azula keep texting him at midnight? Maybe he thought that Summer had slept, so he took his phone and went to the balcony. “Hello?”He lit up a cigarette ad said with a cold voice.“Don’t you remember?”“Just go and buy anything you want, but don’t come and bother me.”“Just look for Carter if you want more money. I have no time.”Summer could hear clearly what Jasper had said, but she could not hear what Azula was saying. Tears flowed down from Summer’s eyes, making the pillow wet. It was the first time she felt that they were like strangers in
“Chairman Miller, don’t worry. I’ll let Sum call you when we’re almost done.” Natalie laughed while teasing Jasper and asked him not to worry too much.Jasper nodded, wound up the car window, and left. “Sum, Elly has something to do. Let’s walk around first. When she comes over, we’ll go straight to eat.” Natalie grabbed Summer’s arms, smiled, and brought her to the shopping mall. “Sum, do you seldom come to the shopping mall?” Summer nodded. She did not always appear in a place with many people. It was the same in the past.“Sum, let’s go and get some makeup.” Natalie smiled and stared at Summer. She looked at Summer carefully from the top to bottom. “Sum, you look so young. Who would believe if you said that you’re married and have given birth before? Look at this body shape and thin waist. You must learn how to dress up.”Summer tried to hide her smile. “You look like a person looking for customers for a hooker.”Natalie pursed her lips. “If I’m that sort of middleman, I’ll
Summer turned and looked at Yadon. She rolled her eyes. “You don’t know how to spend your money, do you?”Yadon frowned, and his gaze fell on Natalie. “Give me yours.”“Huh?” Summer almost burst into laughter due to her anger. How could there be a man like this?“I’m sorry, we’ve eaten it already. Are you sure your fiancee won’t find it disgusting, Chairman Caballero? We may… be sick!” Summer said in a relaxed tone after she took a bite out of Natalie’s scoop. Yadon’s expression became drearier. He seemed to be threatening Natalie with his gaze. Natalie also straightened her body and said faintly, “That’s right, Chairman Caballero. I’m sorry about that. Since you’re so rich, why don’t you buy the ice cream shop for your fiancee?”“Sounds like a good idea!” Yadon said coldly, and every word he spoke was threatening. Summer did not want to care about a rich, willful lunatic like Yadon. He should just do whatever he wanted.“Let’s go. There’s an idiot here. We might get infecte
“Don’t you think… there are too many around?” Natalie looked around. “If there are not a lot of people around, how are we supposed to have fun?” Elly smiled and pulled them to go inside the bar. “Don’t be shy.”“Sorry... Are my clothes too revealing?” Summer wore a tight fitting, short dress with spaghetti straps. Her slender and fair long legs were so dazzling under the lights. Elly looked at Summer carefully from the top to bottom. “You’re too attractive. No worries, I will protect you.”Natalie could not hold her laughter. “You look more like those people who get customers for hookers.”Summer felt embarrassed and pulled the straps. “Should I wear a jacket?”“The hair will cover it.” Elly did not allow that. “Furthermore, your hair length makes you look like a diva. Let’s go. Take out your courage, we won’t go back unless we get drunk tonight!”Then, these three women started going crazy, following Elly’s lead.Natalie had always been beautiful. So, when she put on a mini
Elly smiled. “Let’s drink!”Summer was stunned for a moment. “Are we really going to drink with them?”“Eh, since we’re here already, come on. Why can Jasper send another woman to a hotel but we can’t drink with some good-looking boys?” Elly said as she whispered into Summer’s ear.Summer’s body stiffened as she hesitated for a moment. “Alright then…”‘I’m a married woman after all. I’m different from Natalie and Elly who are still single. I still have to be a little reserved.’“Hey, babe. What’s your name?” At the deck, someone asked for Summer’s name. “Ah, let’s not ask about names. Handsome, let's drink.” Elly protected Summer. “Elly, drink less.” Summer was worried. At first, Elly looked normal, but the more she drank, the stranger she became. It was as if she was trying to make herself drunk. “I’m fine. I’m feeling happy today. Let’s drink!” Elly took a beer from the table and downed the whole bottle. “Elly!” Natalie also noticed something strange about her. She immed
“How dare you…”When the man was about to hit Summer again, Jasper raised his hand and grabbed his wrist. With a loud cracking sound, his wrist was broken in an instant. “Where’s the manager?!” Jasper was emitting an extremely cold aura as he spoke indifferently. Several bartenders were shaking with fear. They knew who Jasper was even though he had not been to the pub before. It would be rare to have citizens of Sea City not to know who Jasper was. Perhaps the few drunken wealthy men could not react in time to realize who they had provoked. They were definitely digging their own graves. “Mr. Miller, please don’t be angry. Let us settle this here,” the waiter said in fear. The man who screamed in pain fell to the floor as he held his hand. He was in so much pain that his face turned extremely pale.“Bro! Bro! H-H-He's Jasper…” one of the men there said nervously as his voice trembled. He could recognize who Jasper was. “Mr. Miller. This is a misunderstanding. It really is. W
The environment was raucous and he did not like it. Jasper leaned against his car and tried to call Summer. However, she did not pick up. He had never seen Summer dressed like this. She was wearing a short cami dress and had put on such delicate makeup. It made her particularly eye-catching in the crowd. Jasper admitted that he was a layman, and there was no doubt that Summer was good-looking.It was just that Summer usually wore something casual. She either wore sportswear or when she went to the corporation, she would wear casual formal clothes. He had never seen her being so bold and hanging out in a public pub like this before. His heart tensed up terribly. Although he did not know what his non-amnesiac self would think about this, he found himself relying too much on the feeling of Summer being dependent on him. He was unable to adapt to such a sudden change. It was as if without him, Summer would have a better and wealthier life. She had friends, family, and someon
“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.
