“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
Adrian stared at Jasper as if he was looking at an idiot. “I say, you…”“No. Summer, listen to me, I—” Jasper wanted to offer an explanation, but Summer refused to listen.“I won’t listen to any of your explanations, and I won’t stop. Victoria must repay all that she owes me!” Summer turned around with a bitter taste in her mouth and an equally bitter feeling in her chest. She would definitely not spare Victoria. Absolutely not. “Sum, I’ll send you back.” Jasper caught up to Summer, wanting to send her back.“I don’t need it!” Summer forcefully flung Jasper’s hand away. “Summer, that’s really not what I meant. I’m not asking you to spare Victoria…”Summer cast Jasper a cold look before she turned around and got into Adrian’s car. She slammed the door shut.“Bro, I finally won against you once.” Adrian felt incredibly smug. He got into the car and whistled at Jasper. “Come on, race against me. If you win, I’ll promise you something.”Jasper was so angry that his expression turned dar
Once Summer went back home to make pork ribs soup, she thought of going to visit Samson at the headquarters of Ardly Corporation. He had just taken over the company, so he was very busy.“Sum, didn’t I tell you not to do such things?” Samson felt his heart ache for Summer. He did not want her to cook, but it was not because he didn’t like her food. “I’m fine as long as you like it.” Most of the gloominess in Summer’s heart faded away. She sat on the sofa and watched Samson drink soup. “When I came back, my mom asked me when we were getting married.”She truly intended to give up on Jasper. Now, she wanted to stay beside Samson. Even if she died one day, she wanted to leave behind some good memories for him. Samson’s hands trembled while he was drinking the soup. He nearly choked. “Sum…”He dragged Summer into his embrace in slight excitement, and with an uncertain tone, he asked, “Could you repeat that?”“What is it? Do you want me to propose to you again, Mr. Samson?” Summer had w
“Miss Plath, hurry up and come to Miller Corporation. Chairman Ardly came to look for Mr. Miller and both of them are currently fighting…”The assistant called Summer behind Samson’s back. Summer’s breathing froze a little, and tears pooled in her eyes. She wanted to have a peaceful life, so why did everyone refuse to let her live her life in peace?She threw away Irene’s phone and ran off while crying. What should she do?What exactly was she supposed to do for things to calm down?She just wanted to get registered as a married couple with Samson, be together with him, and keep him company. She did not even hope that she could live long, so why did the heavens still refuse to show her mercy?Jasper…The videos were definitely leaked from the CCTVs installed in his mansion in West City. Just what did he want? Was it not enough that he wanted her to die?When Summer ran into the distance with red-rimmed eyes, Irene chewed on chewing gum and smirked. Tsk, Summer overestimated herse
“Sum!”Samson and Jasper pushed open the door and ran into the ward anxiously. “Where is she?” The ward was empty. There was not a single person inside. “Where is she?” Adrian asked this question as well when he came over with the results of the examination. He looked a little worried. “I don’t know. We’ve been keeping watch all this while outside,” a nurse answered anxiously. Adrian had ordered them to keep a close eye on Summer, which was why they had been guarding the entrance very attentively. “This is bad!” Adrian pushed Jasper and Samson aside to rush into the bathroom. He took a look inside, and just as he knew, the window was open.“Why are you still standing there in a daze?! Hurry up and look for her!” Adrian shouted at Jasper and Samson. Were the two people idiots? The first thing they actually did when this happened was not to take care of Summer, but to fight against each other! “Are you seriously adults?!”Samson did not have the mood to continue paying any attention
“Continue searching!”Samson had people searching everywhere for Summer at Thousand Cities Square. He had gotten the videos from the CCTVs at the entrance of the hospital and watched them. Summer should have moved in this direction. Jasper lit up a cigarette in irritation. He had even gone to the rented house, but Summer was not there. “I don’t need you putting up a farce to search for her. If it weren’t for you, Sum wouldn’t have gone through such a shock!” Samson was a little out of control. He went up and yanked Jasper’s collar. “Ah! Both of you, just continue fighting, why don’t you?! We can just forget about looking for her!” Adrian was incredibly irritated. The two men next to him were just so immature. “Alright, just search on your own. Whoever finds her first should call the other. I’ll go and take a look at the subway.” Adrian did not want to continue watching the two going up against each other. He turned around and left to continue his search. Samson shoved Jasper awa
Benjamin placed Summer in the car and raised his hand to wipe off her tears. “Your face is streaked with tears. Seriously, you haven’t changed since you were young.”He sighed and looked around. “Wait for me in the car.”Benjamin cast a glance at the shop at the entrance of the subway and quickly ran to it to buy Wahaha Calcium Milk and a strawberry-flavored lollipop. “Benjamin? Why are you here? Did you find Summer?” Adrian ran out of the subway anxiously. There was nothing over there. Where could she have gone to? Was she taking things too hard again?“No. What about you?” Benjamin instinctively hid the Wahaha Calcium Milk and lollipop behind his back. “I haven’t either. Samson and Jasper have no news as well. Seriously, she’s driving me nuts with worry.” Adrian was incredibly worried. At first, he did not dare to let Benjamin learn about what was happening, but Benjamin was a specialist when it came to blood clots in the brain. The hospital director would definitely want to disc
“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.
