โSummer!โ Casper shouted. โThis woman is mad!โDid she want to die with him so badly?Bang!A loud sound was heard. Summer closed her eyes subconsciously. โMr. Synder!โ Casperโs subordinate came on time and knocked away the off-road vehicle.โWeโre being chased!โ 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. โCaptain Synder!โ 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. โThe anti-colli
At Princecourt Hotel in Mountain City...โHave they left?โ Azula was wearing a bathrobe as she leaned against the corridor while smoking. โThey have left.โ The hotel manager nodded with a conspicuous expression. โYou did a good job,โ Azula smirked and put a cheque in the managerโs hands. โ200,000 USD. Itโs all yours.โThat 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...โWhat are you doing here?โ Summer went and visited Melody in the ward. Keaneโs father was standing outside the ward with a gloomy expression. โDonโt you think youโve done enough harm to our family?โSummer did not say anything. She just wanted to see how Melody was faring. โJasper has divorced you. Please donโt come over if you have nothing to do here,โ 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.โThere's no need to explain. The whole family is unreasonable. So, itโs alright,โ Casper said with a sigh, โWhen will you bring me to meet Ace?โ What really interested Casper was Ace.This time around, he also came because of him. โYouโll meet him soon. Someoneโs trying to kill me, and heโs very eager about it. Ace won't just sit by and watch.โAce straightened his suit as he walked leisurely toward the dying man in an abandoned factory. โSince you have no more value, Iโll just feed you to the dogs.โโMr. Finch, Mr. Finch, Iโve told you everything. Iโve told you everything I know. You promised that youโll let me go,โ the man shouted in horror as his gaze filled with despair. Ace did not turn to look at him. Othe
โCan we talk alone?โ 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. โWhatโs the matter?โ Samson asked as he leaned against the wall by the corridor. โI want to make a deal with you,โ Summer said straightforwardly. โIโm not interested.โ Samson started to walk away. โI can get her back!โ Summer said nervously. Samson stopped walking for a moment. He then turned and looked at Summer. โWhat did you say?โโIf she can choose to stay dormant, I can bring her back. Personalities have mutual induction. I have fulfilled my wish and have experienced what itโs like to be a complete personโฆ So, as long as you help me, Iโll bring her back to you,โ Summer said anxiously. Before Samson could say anything, she spoke again. โJasper and I are divorced. Thereโs nothing between us anymore. So, when she comes back, as long as you don't mind, sheโฆโโAre you threatening me?โ Samson narrowed hi
โCosmo 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.โ Samson was silent for a moment. He was afraid that Summer was not able to understand him. โCosmo and James are cousins. Cosmo's mother is also part of the Coleman family. Thatโs to say, sheโs James' aunt.โSummer was in a state of shock for a very long time. โJames 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.โโIs there a mistake?โ Summer could not believe it. โHe had checked it multiple times,โ Samson assured her. โSo, we guess that Alaric is not your biological father, and you are James and Benโs siblings. That means youโre part of the Ross family and the daughter of the former head of the family. We don't know who your mother is, though.โSummer took a step back as her legs turned numb. Everything felt so surreal.All
After Casper forced her to eat, Summer ate until she could not move anymore. She was lost in her thoughts as she leaned back on her chair. Summer raised her head and looked out the window for a long time before saying, โHow long can love last? I used to think Samson loved Summer so much. He loved her so much that I became jealous of them.โShe chuckled, then said, โAt that time, I was paranoid. I wished I could break them up.โโAnd I did it. But why am I not happy?โCasper was stunned. After he came back to his senses, he remembered that Summer had a split personality. โSo, the person thatโs engaged with Samson is not the current identity?โโAre you still looking for a fight? I can have one with you.โ Casper was not sure how to reply to Summer. He looked at her, then spoke again. โLetโs talk about Jasper and Azula. We can quarrel about that to change the topic.โSummer did not want to argue anymore. She suddenly felt extremely exhausted. โNo more fights?โ After a long time
Even if it was not for revenge, Jasper was sure that Casperโs feelings toward Summer were not genuine. โYou!โ Casper was slightly enraged.Only evildoers would have bad thoughts of other people!โHe gave me a sense of reality. He makes me feel like I really exist.โ Summer reached out and pulled Casper as she stood between them. โHe gives me a sense of reality and peace that you can never give me.โโSummer!โ Jasperโs voice quivered. He could barely contain his anger anymore. โMr. Miller, please show some respect. Your fiance and my boyfriend are here.โ Summer flinched when she saw Jasper reach out and pull her arm. She grabbed onto Casper firmly. โBoyfriend? Summer, what are you thinking?! If I were Ace, I would look back to see where I went wrong and why you chose him. Does he even deserve you? Whatโs so great about a guy who has a mortgage and needs to depend on government aid to be successful? What can he give you? Are you still a child? Even if youโre acting childish out of
โCasper, meet you at eight in the evening. Iโll wait for you at Emerald Western Restaurant.โ Azula smiled in a profound manner before she turned and left. Summer stood by the roadside. She turned and saw Azula walking away, looking like a model. โWhat did she say to you?โโShe said she wanted to have dinner with me.โ Casper did not lie. Summer frowned. โIs this an unforgettable romantic moment?โ โWhat are you talking about? Itโs just dinner.โ Casper frowned.โDonโt go, then.โ Summer did not want Casper to go. He was a smart man, but he could not afford to mess around with Azula.Back then, Sapphire may have had a conscience, but the current Azula absolutely did not have one.โYou donโt want me to go?โ Casper raised his hand and scratched his head. He wanted to ask what Summer meant by what she said a while ago, but he felt that he was being too indulgent in this cooperative relationship between them. โI want to see my daughter.โ Summer watched as cars passed by. She wanted
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.
