“Stop playing dumb, Summer! It’s all because of you, Ace knew that Lisa…” Azula bit her lip. “Since it was you who instructed Lisa to do that kind of stuff, what rights do you have to come and plead to me? I can let it pass if it was me that you hurt, but unfortunately, you hurt my friend.” Summer frowned, looking mad. “Don’t push me, Summer. And so shouldn’t Ace…” Azula gritted her teeth and said threateningly, “If he won’t leave me alone, I won’t make your life easy either.” Casper’s sister was puzzled by the situation, as she watched Azula slamming the door and leaving. Summer heaved a sigh, feeling that Azula had completely been enslaved by her own hatred. At downstairs, Azula ran into Casper who just got off from his work, carrying groceries in his hands. Azula glanced at Casper, her eyes were red. “What are you doing here?” Casper did not seem surprised. His tone was indifferent. “Casper, if I had given up on seeking vengeance back then, if I had chosen to be with
Jasper looked at his daughter nervously and hugged her carefully in his arms. Little Chestnut cupped Jasper’s face and gave him a kiss. Blood was thicker than water; the thing about a familial bond was always inexplicable. Summer watched quietly for a moment, before she raised her hand to support her chin and asked, “Are you still going to die again?” “Cough!” Jasper was caught off guard by Summer’s question. He shook his head nervously and said, “I won’t do it again.” “Is there anything else you’re hiding from me?” Summer asked indifferently. “I won’t do it again.” Jasper continued to shake his head, making his daughter giggle. “Your fiance just paid me a visit.” Summer said indifferently, without any emotion in her tone. Jasper was so frightened that he felt a tingling sensation in his head, even the wound on his shoulder started to hurt a bit. “I’m sorry, I won’t do it again.” “Have you done hugging her? Give me my daughter.” Summer reached out to ask for her daugh
A long silence filled the place. Aaron was still at the door. “Aaron…” The door was slowly opened. Benjamin called him in a small voice. Aaron’s body stiffened for a long time. And then, he pulled Benjamin into his arms fiercely. “Hearing you call me that, it’s worth it even if I were to die in this second.” “You’re in a public space, behave yourself.” In the distance, Adrian’s face darkened as he walked toward them. He was silent for a moment. “I know you guys resent me, but I still have to tell you. My dad still has a way out, he won’t be convicted, because there isn’t any evidence. Did you guys think you’ve won? Don’t be naive.” Aaron raised his hand and slapped Adrian on the back of his head, before he kicked him in the butt, leaving a footprint on his white coat. “Watch how you talk to us; we are older than you.” Benjamin smiled and patted the footprint off Adrian’s coat. “For the sake of you being younger than us, we’ll let you off the hook for now for scheming agains
“Jasper, come and pick us up. Summer glanced at her phone. Jasper was going to hold a press conference to announce that he had had a close call. Summer sent him a voice message. Her tone dripped with resentment. She wondered who was the person that could make his father love him so much even after all these years. At the Miller Corporation. “Mr. Jasper, your disappearance these days has made a huge impact on the company. We must do…” “Buzz!” Jasper’s phone vibrated. Jasper picked up his phone and looked at it, it was a message from Summer. Jasper stood up nervously and gestured his assistance to host the meeting. “Don’t go anywhere, wait for me. I’ll be right over!” As soon as he heard Summer ask him to pick it up, Jasper ran out of the conference room as if he had won the lottery, leaving behind his staff staring at each other. Had Mr. Jasper won a lottery? He was grinning so happily....... At the fishing village in Mountain City. “You’re here.” Josse was
He was able to be healed of all the pain Alaric inflicted upon him from Valerie. At first, he had thought of deliberately getting closer to Valerie to have revenge on Alaric. But later, he fell in love with Valerie. However, Alaric firmly believed that he got closer to Valarie to have revenge on him. So, he used all kinds of methods to break them up and forced Valerie to marry Marvin. Marvin used to love Valerie. Valerie seemed like a ray of light that could warm the world. Valerie and Marvin had an agreement that before she fell in love with him, Marvin could not have physical contact with her. But since Valerie only loved Josse, how could she possibly see Marvin’s silent dedication?All the tragedies were really cliche. Marvin forced himself on Valerie, and even if they were husband and wife, Valerie left in despair and decided to divorce him. After returning to Country M, Valerie found out that she was pregnant with Marvin’s child. At that time, Valerie wanted to abort
At the Miller family’s mansion in Sea City...“I’ll bring Little Chestnut to visit you.” Summer put Little Chestnut on the cot and said, “Let’s set a visitation schedule. You can visit your daughter on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays, and for the rest of the days...”“The rest of the time, I’ll visit you." Jasper said anxiously. He immediately tried to please Summer when he saw her frowning. “Can’t I visit my ex-wife the rest of the time?”“Get lost!” Summer scolded and rolled her eyes. Little Chestnut had fallen asleep. Summer sat quietly on the couch for a long time. Jasper dared not breathe. Now, Summer was the most powerful person in the family. If he could not appease her, when could they ever remarry?He still had Ace and Casper as his competitors, so he needed to keep an eye on Summer. Buzz!The phone vibrated. Jasper lowered his head and looked at his phone. It was Samson. “Is Summer at your place?” Samson said with a deep voice. “Yes.” Jasper avoid
“And did you manage to lure her out?” Summer scoffed.Jasper hurriedly threw his hands up and surrendered. “I installed a monitoring system at home. She looked for a craftsman to check and disassemble the cameras. But those were my people too. Azula does not know that there is still a monitoring system at her home. In her conversation with Rose, it seemed like there was another man. And that man should be the one who helped her take revenge on the rich people in Mountain City. “If that were the case, why doesn't she take revenge on Yadon directly?” Summer frowned. She already had someone so powerful, why did she still need to look for Ace?“You know too little about Yadon. His status and position are unshakable in Sea City and Mountain City. And Azula wants to take revenge on Yadon? It’s obvious that the person behind her is not that capable, and that person seems to be wary of the Caballero family.”Jasper had also thought about many people, but no one could match the identity of
Adrian did not say anything. Paul should not exact revenge on Cosmo and his mother, but what about him…? He had lost his mother when he was young. He did not have the love from his mother and father, and every day, he had to live a life filled with Paul’s hatred. Who should he look for? Who should he question?No one was innocent, but everyone was innocent too. At Coleman Corporation...“Master, Mr. Adrian had sold his mansion at West City and sent the cheque to the company. He did not take a single penny with him,” the assistant said softly. Gilbert lowered his gaze and remained silent for a long time. “Did you get anyone to buy the house?” “Yes, the house is now under your name.” The assistant nodded. “Where did he go?” At first, Gilbert did not want to question Adrian’s matters, but he could not help it and asked. “I heard that he’s following the hospital’s medical team to provide medical support in Africa. He is leaving tomorrow.”Gilbert gripped the pen in his hands
“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.
