Jasper lit a cigarette after leaving the western restaurant. He hesitated a little, wondering if he should bring Summer back. It would not be a good idea for her to escape like this. Even though he kept telling people that Summer was abducted, the truth was, everyone knew very clearly that she ran away by herself. โSir, about Mrs. Plathโฆโ The assistant was worried. It was drizzling when they left. Jasper did not utter a word. He watched as Mrs. Plathโs car left. โPostpone tomorrowโs meeting. Iโm going out.โ โSir, Miller Corporation is now in an unstable period. Several partners have come to make trouble. Tomorrow's meetingโฆโ The assistant was afraid to delay the meeting.โIf my father were to be so opinionated, ask him to go, then.โ Jasper was not planning on doing anything. He immediately left. The assistant could not catch up as he scampered anxiously after Jasper.โWhatโs going on? Arenโt Sir Jasper and Ms. Plath living happily together? Why do these things happen
โSo, what should we do? Iโve visited Keane in the hospital today. He was still in a coma and his family was angry. They were still assigning people to find Summer.โโDo you think this is really Summerโs doing? Back then, I would never have believed that Summer did it, but after the time she came to Julia, her behavior really scared me. Sheโs totally different from her usual self!โโChairman Ardly, do you think Summer is really abducted or did she run away? Why would she want to hurt Keane? Jayde told me that sheโs looking after Keane now in the hospital. She said that she noticed someone suspicious trying to sneak into Keaneโs ward at night. Fortunately, she found out in time.โSamson stopped abruptly and looked back at Cosmo. โWhat are you? A Jehovah's Witness? Can you just shut up for a moment?!โCosmo pouted and consciously stopped talking. After trying for some time, he spoke again, โShould we tell Jasper or Keane's family what Jayde said? You know, in case someone really wants
"Okay, Iโll pay you the dividends according to the shares you are holding." James insisted. Since Cosmo did not want the company, he would pay him money instead then. โJames, Jayde said that someone was trying to hurt Keane. Has Samson informed Adrian about that already?โ Cosmo did not turn down his offer as he asked him quietly. โAre you arguing with Adrian? Or are you two having any problems?โ โNo.โ James seemed reluctant to talk about Adrian. โHey, Iโve talked to the doctor and the nurses on duty. They will keep watch, and Keaneโs family has got some men here to watch over him too. There shouldnโt be any problem. I have a date with Yone. I have to go now, bye.โ Adrian looked awkwardly at James when he came out of the ward. He scratched his head and said, "By the way, Gilbert, I donโt think Iโm going back to the mansion in West City. And about my stuff, you may throw them away if you think they take up space.โ โIโve already done it,โ James said coldly. โOh, thatโs good, the
At the border of Mountain City and Sea City. โYouโre here. Did you come alone?โ At the beach, Summer was sitting on a rock and staring at the ocean. She glanced back and smiled at Jasper. She was holding a phone in her hand. It was full of gossip about Jasper and Azula. Stories did not come out of thin air. Although Jasper refused to admit it himself, the truth was Azula was actually special to him. Unlike the feeling of gratitude he had for his childhood friend, Victoria, what he had for Azula was affection that only a man felt towards a woman. Like a soulmate? Maybe. โYes,โ Jasper answered. He wanted to get closer, but he suddenly got a feeling that Summer, who was sitting on the rock, did not want anyone to come close to her. And apparently, that included him. โDid you agree to the divorce?โ Summer had thought that Jasper would take the initiative to give her an explanation, but it seemed that if she did not ask, Jasper would not say anything about it. โYes, beca
She was pathetically presumptuous.โSum, please calm down. Come back with me. The police are after you now. It is bad for you if we keep staying here.โ โJasper Millerโฆโ When they heard the sound of sirens coming from afar, Summer felt that she was wholeheartedly disappointed at him. How could Jasper Miller bring the police with him?โYou brought the police with you?โโSorry, Iโm sorry, Sum. I canโt watch you go on like this. I'll stay with you, I'll stay with you." Jasperโs body trembled a little. He was holding Summer tightly to keep her from breaking free and running away.He could not watch Summer become a wanted criminal and watch her get convicted.After a momentโs struggling, Summer got tired and stopped moving.Jasper Miller, no matter what reasons he had, he still did not understand her nor trust her.ใAt the end, they still got a divorce.Back then, he was the one who wanted them to get married, he was the one who convinced her into getting a marriage certificate
โI found that a lot of things happened in your life. The more I got to know you, the more dirt I dug up, youโre even involved in murders." Casper did not light a cigarette, he was trying to control himself, probably because Summer was in the car with him, which was why he could manage to get a transfer order to take Summer away.ใSomeone wanted to kill Summer in the territory of Sea City, he could not turn his back on the matter. "When you own a listed company and hundreds of billions worth of assets, there will be a lot of people who want you dead too." Summer was not trying to show off, as she did not believe that those assets belonged to her. Casper let out a laugh and patted the back of his subordinate, who had turned around and looked at Summer with envy. "What are you looking at? You will still need to stay alive to spend that money even if youโre rich." Summer looked out the window and felt chills all over her body. "Winter is coming, does it snow here in Mountain City?"
โYouโre telling me that you didnโt know?โ Casper gave her a knowing smile."......" Summer did not explain herself. She knew that Casper had put a device on her body, thatโs why she did not change her clothes today, but she had thought it was a tracker, she did not expect it to be a listening device.Could she at least have some privacy?โNow that I'm cleared of suspicion, am I free to go?" Summer looked up at Casper.โNo, the case is still open. Besides, I havenโt sent the evidence to Sea City police yet.โ Casper shook his head.โDonโt send it first. I would like to find out who wants to kill me, I canโt just leave myself open to attack.โ Summer just wanted to find out who she antagonized.Although Ace set her up, killing her was never his intention.Those people went upstairs to kill her right after Benjamin left Mountain City. They were obviously waiting for the chance, she wondered how long they had been following her.โThatโs what I thought too. Itโd be better if you stay
In a beach house at Sea Cityโฆ Azula was sitting in a hammock in the courtyard barefoot, looking at the dusky coastline. The temperature in Sea City was just right. If she was in Mountain City now, she probably needed to wear a down jacket. "Chairman Miller, do you know why I like the sea?" Azula was holding a wine glass with red wine in it. The white satin dress she was wearing fitted her body perfectly. โBecause of your name?โ Jasper sat beside her. He was looking at the sea quietly as well.ใใโBecause my real name is Sapphire, sapphire is also my favorite jewel. Ever heard of the poem, โthe blue in her eyes that some may inquire, will drown them in whirlpools of blue sapphireโ?โใโI see.โ Jasper responded.โWell, when that happens, one will be drowned.โ Azula chuckled. She put her head back and finished the wine. โOcean's sapphire blue, reflecting the golden sun, reminds me of you.โโChairman Miller, letโs get married.โใ......ใใAt the Mountain Cityโฆใใ"Is it good?" Se
โI just find it hard to accept the truth. I donโt actually hate youโฆโ After staying silent for a long time, Summer spoke again. โIt wasโฆ too sudden for me. Give me some time to process this.โMabel looked at her in shock and covered her mouth. โSumโฆโSummer smiled at her and said, โBefore Iโm able to completely accept it, can I continue to call you Madam?โMabel covered her mouth in panic and nodded vigorously. โSureโฆ Call me anything you wantโฆโShe actually never cared what Summer called her. It was good enough for her as long as she did not try to avoid her. โCan I hug you?โ Summer took the initiative and stretched out her arms. Jasper had told Summer quite a lot about Mabelโs 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 familyโs mansion. โWifeyโฆโ Jasper rushed over to her, wanting to give her a surprise. But instead, she did not react. Her face looked pale too. โWifey?โ He panicked and knelt in front of her. โSumโฆโHe truly panicked this time. โDid she find out about something that I did in the past and is now mad at me?โโJasper, do you care who my mother is?โ Summer asked softly. His heart stopped beating for a second. He felt both distressed and relieved. โNo, I donโt. I only care about you.โโWhy do I care so much, thenโฆโ Summer smiled and hugged him tightly. โI shouldnโt care about it tooโฆโโEveryone has something that they donโt have control over. Sum, go easy on yourself.โSummer 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.โSumโฆโ 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. โMadam, stop cooking. Come and eat,โ Summer called out to her softly. Mabel smiled at Summer as she emerged with her favorite dish, cinnamon-spiced beef stroganoff.โSum, letโs eat.โ 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. โSum, follow me.โ After dinner was over, he asked her to go to the study room. โIs Jasper treating you well?โ Alaric asked. โYes, heโs treating me well.โ She smiled. โIf Jasper hadn't been busy and gone to Mountain City, he would be sticking around, bothering me.โโHe 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.โโSum, thereโs something that Iโve been hiding from you. Youโve always wanted to know your biological mother, right?โ A
โMr. 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?โโI do,โ Jasper said the two words confidently.โIโm willing to take care of her and be by her side forever.โIโll always love her.โSheโll always be my number one.โโMs. 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?โโโฆ I do.โShe purposely hesitated for a long time. Jasper was so scared that his face turned pale.After she chuckled and said โI doโ, 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.โJasper!โJas
Benjamin rolled his eyes at Aaron. โI belong to the bride's side. You should go to Jasperโs side.โโHe doesnโt deserve it,โ Aaron said stubbornly.Summer covered her mouth and chuckled. Everyone was immersed in the festive atmosphere of the wedding.ใใโWouldnโt it be nice if we could stay this happy all the time?โโHey, should we play a prank on the groom tomorrow? Letโs spice things up a little!โ The bridesmaids started planning something.โYou guys better be careful. Youโre all pregnant. Donโt stir up too much chaos,โ Summer said with a smile. โSeriously, itโs as they say: women always side with their husbands once theyโre married. Look at you, youโre already siding with him.โ A few of them teased Summer. Summer blushed so hard that she could not say anything in response. โCongratulations, Sum.โHers and Jasperโs 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 Edwardโs mother because of her meeting with Hannaโs mother.She sat on the sofa and thought a lot. Would they get a divorce? Would Edwardโs father hate her because of this?Edward sat on the sofa and quietly accompanied his mother. โAbout this matter... Let's not tell Jen first. She may not be able to handle it.โEdwardโs mother nodded, in tears. Then, she shook her head. โIt was all my fault.โEdwardโs father finally came out of the study. Edward looked at his father nervously. He was afraid that his father would blame his mother.โI... 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!โ Edwardโs mother panicked and started crying. Edwardโs father walked to her side. He did not blame her, but passed her a tissue. โIs this how you should behave in front of your son? Stop crying.โEdwardโs mother sobb
โI deserve it!โNieva 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.โฆโฆ At the Reeves family house in Mountain City...โAre you Hanna Delacruz? Letโs talk.โEdwardโs father asked Hanna to go into the study, leaving Edward and his mother in the living room.โEdward, I already know about the issue concerning your father.โโMom...โ Edward felt a little guilty. โI know about everything.โ Edwardโs mother shook her head. โThis matter is related to your father and me. This is what owed Hannaโs mother, but if you two have to pay for our mistakes. We...โโMom, this is no oneโs fault.โ Edward shook his head. In the study...Edwardโs father asked Hanna to go into the room. His expression was dreary. โAre you Venusโ daughter?โโDo you still remember my mother?โ 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 Roseโs son, even if Rose had used a despicable way to give birth to him.โLetโs go home...โ Samson walked toward Charlie and rubbed his head.โSamson...โ Charlie lifted his head, and his eyes were red.โFrom now on, you have not just me, but your friends, younger brothers and sisters, and many older brothers and sisters who love you.โ 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 familyโs 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.โTsk, tsk, tsk. Do you know Aiden, who is always with Thomas?โ He was Summerโs 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.โJasper frowned. โSince he did not want to let Summer know about this, why is he making Summer more distressed?โJasper admired Aiden a lot because he never showed his love for Summer, but he had silently done many things for Summer.โJasper, you can just confess if youโre scared. You donโt have to put yourself in a higher status.โ Keane rolled his eyes.โFine, you will go to Country T for a business trip.โ Jasper was threatening Keane.โJasper, Iโm sorry, itโs my fault...โโฆ...The wedding was getting closer. Everyone was busy helping Jasper and Summer with their wedding.โLook at the dresses and gowns for my grandchildren.
