Casper did not know how he should comfort Summer. Perhaps Summer’s daughter that he had never seen before should be her only spiritual support now?Without that child, Casper worried that Summer would lose her hope to live.Miserable? These days, everyone felt that their life was miserable. “At least you still have your parents. My dad is dead and my mother had late-stage depression and committed suicide, so my sister and I can only depend on each other. My sister dated a jerk. That jerk lied to my sister without telling her that he’s married and has children. Later, my sister found out about it, but she was already pregnant with my niece. If it were not because of that child, she would probably kill herself like my mother. Life is fine now, but that jerk will often come and disturb us.”Casper never told others about his family condition and even his colleagues in the police station did not know about that. Casper was not sure why, but he was willing to share it with Summer.“
“I’ll accompany you.” Casper immediately chased behind Summer and tried to get a cab beside the road. “Do you know where Jasper is?” “Go to the hotel, it’s a high-class hotel near DZ. We should be able to find him over there.” Summer knew Jasper would not drive if he went for a drink. So, he must have walked there. “Princecourt Hotel.” Princecourt was an international hotel chain, and Miller Corporation had shares in it. So, Jasper would go to Princecourt Hotel for sure. At Princecourt Hotel...“Hi, may I know which room Jasper Miller is staying in?” Summer called Jasper many times, but he did not pick up. The receptionist glanced at Summer and frowned. “It’s not convenient for us to reveal the identity of our customers.”“Police!” Casper frowned and spoke, “Please cooperate with the investigation.”The receptionist stared at Casper with a stunned look, then called and asked the manager for help. The manager then came over and helped. “Mr. Miller is the shareholder of our ho
Summer always felt that she was a person with her own principles. Yet since her memories returned, she kept breaking her own principles.She was in love with Jasper, even if Jasper hurt her and killed the baby in her stomach. “You’re rushing back overnight?” Casper brought Summer back to take the car. “Yes. Some people who are important to me are injured.” Elly was her sister, and Melody was her mother-in-law, even if that was in the past. “Time flies, and my life seems like a fantasy.” Summer felt that she was dreaming. A few days ago, Jasper was still hugging her and saying that he loved her but now, he was whispering sweet nothings to another woman already. “Just sleep. Good sleep will help.” Casper was driving Summer back to Sea City, and he would look at Summer occasionally. She did not fall asleep but looked at the scenery outside the window. It took about four hours to drive from Mountain City to Sea City. The road was so dark that Summer could hardly see the direct
“Summer!” Casper shouted. ‘This woman is mad!’Did she want to die with him so badly?Bang!A loud sound was heard. Summer closed her eyes subconsciously. “Mr. Synder!” Casper’s subordinate came on time and knocked away the off-road vehicle.“We’re being chased!” The off-road vehicle changed the direction of the car and left immediately. Casper shouted. Since that car was driven at high speed, the car plate must be a fake one, and they might not be able to chase after the car. They did not have enough manpower, and it was too dangerous. “Captain Synder!” Two policemen came down from the car. They were the ones who went to the mansion by the seaside previously. Summer sat down helplessly on the floor, and her legs were weak. She was not sure what she was thinking at that moment. Using her body to block the car? She was not that childish, she just... she did not want anyone to die because of her anymore. The car door was torn open, and Casper cursed. “The anti-colli
At Princecourt Hotel in Mountain City...“Have they left?” Azula was wearing a bathrobe as she leaned against the corridor while smoking. “They have left.” The hotel manager nodded with a conspicuous expression. “You did a good job,” Azula smirked and put a cheque in the manager’s hands. “200,000 USD. It’s all yours.”That manager smiled happily because he easily earned 200,000 USD by bringing Summer and Casper to the room. He could not believe that there was such a good deal. At Sea City Hospital...“What are you doing here?” Summer went and visited Melody in the ward. Keane’s father was standing outside the ward with a gloomy expression. “Don’t you think you’ve done enough harm to our family?”Summer did not say anything. She just wanted to see how Melody was faring. “Jasper has divorced you. Please don’t come over if you have nothing to do here,” Marvin said with a low voice while sitting outside the ward. He did not sound like he was rebuking her, but begging her to g
Casper was a police officer. A criminal suspect was nothing more than a criminal who others already suspected had done the crime. Even if the person was proven in the end that he was not the real culprit, he would still be someone who was once labeled as a criminal.“There's no need to explain. The whole family is unreasonable. So, it’s alright,” Casper said with a sigh, “When will you bring me to meet Ace?” What really interested Casper was Ace.This time around, he also came because of him. “You’ll meet him soon. Someone’s trying to kill me, and he’s very eager about it. Ace won't just sit by and watch.”Ace straightened his suit as he walked leisurely toward the dying man in an abandoned factory. “Since you have no more value, I’ll just feed you to the dogs.”“Mr. Finch, Mr. Finch, I’ve told you everything. I’ve told you everything I know. You promised that you’ll let me go,” the man shouted in horror as his gaze filled with despair. Ace did not turn to look at him. Othe
“Can we talk alone?” Summer did not want Casper to go out. She turned and headed out the door.Samson turned and looked at Casper once again. His expression was unpleasant. “What’s the matter?” Samson asked as he leaned against the wall by the corridor. “I want to make a deal with you,” Summer said straightforwardly. “I’m not interested.” Samson started to walk away. “I can get her back!” Summer said nervously. Samson stopped walking for a moment. He then turned and looked at Summer. “What did you say?”“If she can choose to stay dormant, I can bring her back. Personalities have mutual induction. I have fulfilled my wish and have experienced what it’s like to be a complete person… So, as long as you help me, I’ll bring her back to you,” Summer said anxiously. Before Samson could say anything, she spoke again. “Jasper and I are divorced. There’s nothing between us anymore. So, when she comes back, as long as you don't mind, she…”“Are you threatening me?” Samson narrowed hi
“Cosmo looked into the kinship between you and him, and you and James. You and James are siblings, but you and Cosmo are not related by blood.” Samson was silent for a moment. He was afraid that Summer was not able to understand him. “Cosmo and James are cousins. Cosmo's mother is also part of the Coleman family. That’s to say, she’s James' aunt.”Summer was in a state of shock for a very long time. ‘James and I are siblings. James and Cosmo are cousins. If James and I have the same biological mother, then Cosmo and I should be cousins, but we don't relate by blood.’“Is there a mistake?” Summer could not believe it. “He had checked it multiple times,” Samson assured her. “So, we guess that Alaric is not your biological father, and you are James and Ben’s siblings. That means you’re part of the Ross family and the daughter of the former head of the family. We don't know who your mother is, though.”Summer took a step back as her legs turned numb. Everything felt so surreal.All
“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.
