Summer had been missing for three months without any news or clues.Casper had wasted too much time and effort on this case, but he still did not find any clues.At Miller Corporation..."Mr. Miller, the board has invited you to a banquet tonight...""Leave!" Jasper said gloomily. The whole office was full of a dreary aura.The assistant shuddered and got out nervously.Since Summer's disappearance, their young master had changed and been as cold and scary as if he was a different person.The assistant felt as if he was seeing the past Jasper, the Jasper before meeting Summer.There was only work in his eyes, and only the company. His whole body exuded a cold aural.Although the Miller Family was a member of Sea City, all the responsibilities of the Miller Family rested on Jasper’s shoulder alone.Jasper has been closest to his grandfather since he was a child. The Miller Corporation was the hard work of his grandfather. In order to keep the company and his grandfather’s hard
The assistant wanted to cry but had no tears left. Summer had been missing for more than three months, and he had been working overtime for more than three months.Over the past three months, Jasper hardly regarded anyone as a human being.Sure enough, a man’s sense of humanity was given by a woman…His heart was extremely hopeful that Miss Summer would be found soon, as the assistant followed Jasper bitterly, not daring to even let out a breath.At the Miller's mansion,"How can you even be a father? There is no news about Sum’s disappearance until now. You never even came by to see your daughter! Do you not even want your daughter now?" Melody was a little angry and said again gloomily. "I haven't seen such an irresponsible father like you!"Jasper emanated a somewhat gloomy aura, as if he was silently suppressing his anger and trying not to lose his composure."Say something!" Melody was a little persistent."Keep quiet!" Marvin said coldly. It was best not to bother Jasper
"I really want to know if you will regret doing this in the future." Paul sneered, got up and looked at the contract. "Don’t you feel heartache treating Jasper like this?""Did you know how Jasper treated me? In whatever situation, don't just see how things look on the surface." Summer said plainly and walked to the table to take out the ink pad. "Mr. Seawind, your son's accident is already a warning to you, don't get caught into this anymore."As she reached out to hold Paul's fingers, Summer then pressed it down on the contract. "It's a pleasure to cooperate with you, Mr. Seawind.""Your mother's death was not my intention."When Summer was about to leave, Paul sighed. "I never thought of forcing anyone to a dead end, but Rose is different. Although we are partners, this woman is a lunatic. You can see it through her obsession towards Josse."Summer looked back at Paul, then opened the door with a sneer and left."Ask someone to call Jasper immediately and tell him that Summer
“I did what you wanted but failed.” Henri quirked his eyebrows. He was provoking Ace. “Do you want to die?” Ace’s expression suddenly darkened, and he clenched his hands tightly. “Ace, do you think this is Country M? You’re at Sea City now. Hurt me if you can." Henri said provocatively.Bang!A loud sound was heard. Ace punched Henri in front of everyone. Azula and Summer were stunned for a while and looked at Ace in a daze. “Ace! Calm down.” Azula took a deep breath. She felt that Ace was truly agitated by Henri. Azula knew how much Ace cared about Summer that he almost became obsessed with her. “Mr. Finch, it’s against the law to hit someone in Sea City.” Henri did not fight back, stood straight, and pursed his lips. He turned and looked at the beautiful woman who was recording this entire event. He smiled and said, “Babe, can you send me the video of the fight?” That beautiful lady was attracted by Henri’s attractive gaze. In her daze, she nodded. She naively added
“Come back home with me!” Jasper spoke coldly.“Mr. Miller, we’re not in any relationship now.” Summer pulled her arm from Jasper’s grasp and walked to Henri. “I’m sorry. This is my boyfriend.”“Summer!” Jasper felt troubled. “Mr. Miller, is there anything else?” Summer looked at Jasper’s eyes coldly and clenched her hands tightly. “Do you know that I’ve been looking for you…?” Jasper spoke slowly and forced himself not to act rashly. These people must have done something to Summer. Otherwise... Summer would not treat him this way. The way Summer looked at him would not be that cold, too. Her stare was so cold that it was frightening. “Chairman Miller, why were you looking for me?” Summer smiled coldly. “Do we still have any relationship to speak of?”“Summer, stop it. Come home with me.” Jasper took a deep breath. “Chairman Miller, don’t overstep your boundaries.” Summer smiled and said, “Is Victoria coming with you? Or is your fetish of looking for the same type of wom
At Sea Coast Police Station in Sea City...“Mr. Finch, don’t do this again.” The police went through the standard procedure of investigating the case and persuading an offender to not commit the same crime. They allowed Ace to leave because someone bailed him out. Ace’s expression darkened as he watched Jasper drive over. He went into the car and put on the seat belt. “Go to my place.” “There is also a time when you got set up by others?” Jasper smirked. “You’re not that far off.” Ace glared at Jasper. “The current situation doesn’t look good for us.”“Are you sure that Victoria is dead?” Jasper threw the document about Veronica on Ace’s legs. “All of you already knew that Victoria committed suicide in the hospital. You should know better whether she is dead or not.” Ace took a look at the document about Veronica and shook his head. “This woman is not Victoria.”“How did you confirm that?” Jasper glanced at Ace. “The eyes and face can change by plastic surgery, but the gaz
At Sea City...“Ms. Summer, we’re the police from Mountain City. You last appeared in Mountain City before you went missing. So, we’re following up on this case. Please follow us.” After Casper received the call from Jasper, he immediately rushed over to the banquet. Indeed, Summer did not remember him and tried to be cooperative. “Maybe it’s a misunderstanding. I did not go missing.” “Our investigation showed that you had been kidnapped. For your safety and to make sure you’re not being threatened, this man beside you needs to follow us back for investigation too,” Casper said faintly. He stared at Henri warily. Henri smirked and expressed his willingness to cooperate. “We will certainly cooperate with the police. I just want to say that the police have truly misunderstood. I knew Sum a long time ago. She left Sea City to look for me. It’s not an abduction case at all.”Casper did not bother with what Henri said and instructed his subordinate to bring Summer away. “Sir, we n
Summer frowned and looked at Henri warily. “Don’t worry. I’m not that horny.” Henri smiled and pushed his spectacles. “Really? I’m more worried that you will be in danger.” Summer smiled coldly. “Mr. Henri, you must be more careful when you stay with me in the same room.” Henri kept stepping on the accelerator and seemed as if he was excited to reach the hotel as soon as possible. At Miller Corporation...“Chairman Miller, why did you come to the office so late?” the security personnel asked. He looked at the time; it was very late.“I have some things to do.” Jasper cautiously looked at the floor where his office was located. Usually, no one dared to use his private lift, and the employee lift would have its electricity cut off after office hours, but this private lift was now at the floor of his office. “Chairman Miller, Mr. Finch is right. The other could not hold it anymore.” The assistant followed him and said warily while holding the baseball stick tightly. Jasper r
“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.
