“Did you manage to find out what was in the needle?” Jasper was still absorbed in what had happened at night. “Summer woke up.”Jasper sat up and tried to get out of the bed. He did not even care that he was a patient. “I came here to tell you that my patient is currently very weak. Please don’t cause her any stress.” Adrian raised his hand and pushed Jasper back on the bed. “Also, I got the results of the components in the needle. It’s barbiturate.”Jasper frowned. He did not quite understand the medical term.“Let me put it this way. If this drug is injected into a vein, in a few seconds, the person loses consciousness. Then, their heart stops beating, and they stop breathing. Soon after, they just die,” Adrian sighed. Just what sort of dangerous person did the little rabbit offend?“Here. There’s this too. It’s the steel needle extracted from Summer’s body. If you have time, send it to the apple of your eye. See whether she likes it.” He brought out a bloody steel needle in a pl
It was only at that moment that Melody released a sigh of relief. Satisfied with what she had heard, she left with her handbag.She did not even care about her son’s injuries and whether he could survive. “Chairman Miller… the madam is just worried about you…” the assistant said while trembling in fear. “Get lost!” Jasper was in a bad mood, and he growled instead of speaking.“Chairman Miller…” The assistant immediately decided on leaving, but when he reached the entrance, he remembered something. “Should we hand the cell phone and the voice recordings to the police? Even if that person doesn’t confess, we can still have Miss Dawn be judged by the law through these voice recordings.”Jasper was holding the phone, and his hand froze for a moment. He stayed still for a long time. “There’s no need for that…”No matter what, Victoria had saved him before. He should give her a chance. “Call Victoria. Tell her that I’m asking her out for dinner at Pearl Restaurant.”“But your injuries…”“
Samson cast Irene a cold glance. His icy blue eyes shone with a very clear warning look. “Then what exactly did you mean, Miss Hamilton?”The elevator door opened, and Samson looked at the time again. It should be around 22:00 at Country M right now. Summer was a night owl, so she was definitely not asleep yet. Irene chased after Samson. “Chairman Ardly, I just want to eat with you.” “My apologies, but I don’t have the time.” Once Samson walked out of his company, he went straight to his car. Irene failed to achieve what she wanted, and she became even more frustrated. She had taken a fancy to this man, and she refused to believe that there was a man in the world that she could not manage to get in her grasp!“Miss, I found it. Chairman Ardly’s fiancée is Summer Plath, the eldest daughter of the chairman of DR Holdings.”Her assistant caught up to her while feeling a little nervous. His lady’s competitor came from a rather powerful and rich family.“The Plath family?” Irene was st
“Jasper…”Victoria walked out of the washroom nervously. She did not quite understand what Jasper meant by this. “Victoria, I will not marry you, and you know the reason behind it. I saw the video of you dragging Summer into the water at Princecourt Hotel through the CCTV. No matter what, the child in Summer’s belly was mine, and you should understand my temper very well.”The air instantly turned so cold that it was practically at freezing point. In her panic, Victoria took a step forward and fell in front of Jasper. “Jasper… I-It’s not what you think. No, I admit that I pulled Summer, but I was… I just hated the fact that she caused me to be unable to bear any children…”Victoria was still trying to defend herself. For the first time ever, Jasper thought that there was no hope for Victoria anymore.“Victoria, you recognized Summer when I proposed to you at the mall. You knew that she’s the eldest daughter of the Plaths, but you refused to tell me because she had lost her memories.”
Would Summer forgive him?Jasper leant against the wall of the smoking area in the hospital for an entire night.He did not dare to think about what he had done to Summer. “Do you want to live?”Beside Summer’s ward, Adrian took hold of Jasper’s hand and touched his burning forehead.“Tell me, will Summer never forgive me?” Jasper asked hoarsely. “What do I have to do for her to be willing to forgive me?”“And what were you doing before this?” Adrian was so angry that he let out a bark of laughter. “You should never burn all the bridges for yourself when it comes to life, but unfortunately for you, forget about a bridge, you don’t even have a log left to get to her.”Jasper fell silent. Perhaps what Adrian said was right. Summer had stayed for half a month in the hospital and had asked Adrian to help her get discharged because she was worried that she could not hide her hospitalization from Samson. Jasper had stayed by Summer’s side for half a month, but he only ever appeared at ni
Victoria fell to the ground limply. She stayed silent for a long time before she said slowly, “Jasper… You said that you love her, but do you know just who it is who wants to kill her? Do you really think that I alone, with my insignificant self, could do everything so flawlessly and kidnap Summer for a year, and even make sure that Samson could not find her?” Jasper stared at Victoria while feeling dejected. He had indeed suspected this before, but Samson had not been able to figure out anything even after searching for a year, so he obtained no news as well. “I know who that person is. Only I know who that person is. Jasper, protect me. Help the Dawns get through this disaster, and I promise you… I will definitely tell you who that person is!”Victoria was threatening Jasper. “That person is a lunatic. Help me, and I will tell you…”Jasper walked closer to Victoria while exuding a chilly, terrifying presence. “Are you threatening me?”“I’m not threatening you. I’m just offering yo
“Irene, you’d best not challenge my patience!” Samson anxiously called Summer, but she rejected his call. In alarm, Samson picked up his coat and prepared to leave. “Samson, I don’t get it. What’s so good about Summer? She has an ambiguous relationship with Jasper, but kept you in the dark about it. She even had a child with Jasper! Just what do you like about her?!” Irene followed closely behind Samson.“Are you asking for death?” Samson was instantly so angry and displeased that he wanted to kill someone. Irene took a step back fearfully. She was so angry that she started stomping on the ground. Once Samson entered the elevator, he said coldly, “Who allowed Irene into my office? Fire all those who were involved!” “Understood!” The assistant nodded in fear. Irene was stomping on Samson’s tail. “Call Irene’s father and tell him that if he continues to have his completely useless daughter who ruins everything and achieves nothing come here to annoy me, we can cancel all our work t
Victoria sat at a reserved table in Pearl Restaurant and waited for Irene to come. “What do you want with me?” Irene did not look too good. She had been degraded by her father to the point that he made it sound as if she was completely worthless, and she was in a rather bad mood. “I heard that you have been pursuing Samson Ardly lately.” Victoria smiled while saying that.“What? Do you have an opinion about it? I heard that you pursued Samson before. By the looks of it, we have quite the similar taste.” Irene smiled coldly. “Of course not. I’m only here to talk to you about my experience as someone who failed. Also, I came to give you a gift.” There was an underlying meaning in Victoria’s words. Irene’s lips curled up a little, but she did not know what schemes Victoria was cooking up.“You should know that Samson has always been merciless toward everyone, and no woman could ever catch his eye. His only weakness is Summer Plath.”Victoria tapped against the tabletop and spoke once
“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.
