“Enough!” Samson slammed his palms against the table and stood up swiftly. “Irene Hamilton, this is something between Summer and me alone. If you don’t want to anger me, this is my final warning to you!”Samson asked to see Irene because he wanted to warn her not to do something like this a second time. This time, he spared her to show respect to Universal Movies and her father, but he did not want to see her again!“Samson, I just don’t understand. Just what is so good about Summer? She doesn’t treasure you at all, and you still protect her!” The more Irene thought about it, the more she felt that Summer was not worthy of Samson. “Look at these!”She tossed a folder to Samson and quickly walked to his side. Samson frowned and opened the folder in puzzlement. “These pictures were taken some time ago. I remember that Summer had gone to Country M, but she seems to have returned to the country beforehand without telling you.” Irene spoke once more. “She hid the fact that she came back
The thick foundation could not hide her pale and bloodless face as well as her dark eyebags. It was clear that Victoria did not manage to sleep well over this period of time. “Why do you always have a bone to pick with Summer?” Jasper asked while looking oup. He still held some degree of pity toward Victoria. After all, they grew up together, and she had saved him when he was young. He remembered this favor even up to now. He had helped the Dawns multiple times, so he could be considered to have shown them kindness and helped them to his utmost limit. “I don’t…” Victoria denied. She seemed to have something on her mind and was a little distracted. “Must I put this in a more direct manner? Victoria, Doria has already told me everything, so are you still going to make excuses for yourself?” Jasper’s voice was incredibly aloof, but he was still giving Victoria a chance. “Jasper, don’t you trust me? I really didn’t…” Victoria held the glass in her hand tightly. That thrice cursed Dor
“Chairman Miller, Plath Corporation has temporarily cut off all international sales channels and restock channels belonging to Dawn Corporation.”The assistant turned her head around to cast a glance at Jasper. The car was parked at the entrance of the Miller family’s mansion. “I heard from the butler that Mr. Miller is very angry. You…” ‘Should start planning on how you’re going to save your own skin.’ Jasper’s mind was filled with Summer, and he was slightly absent-minded. Bang!He got out of the car, and right when he reached the door, Marvin grabbed his cane to hit him. Jasper did not have time to dodge it. That cane hit his back firmly. “Dad, are you mad?” Jasper was in so much pain that he jumped. He snapped out of his daze and turned his head around to take a look. The sight surprised him. Had his father went mad?“You vile spawn! You just had to be up to no good! You just had to bring disgrace to the family! You just had to be arrogant and ignorant!” Marvin was so angry th
Summer did not want to cause Samson trouble. He had just taken over the family business, and there were many things he had to do on his own. She packed up the pork ribs soup with the intention to go to the company. “Is that Summer Plath? Isn’t she the woman in the video online?”“Heavens, she’s seriously shameless! Can’t she be content? Isn’t it enough that she already has Chairman Ardly? She even went off to seduce Jasper Miller.”“Someone has made a clarification online. That person isn’t Miss Plath but a celebrity known as Bella Vargas. Her body and face just look like Miss Plath.”“Enough with it. Even if the woman in the video is not Summer Plath, she definitely has some form of connection with Jasper Miller. I really feel she’s unworthy of Chairman Ardly.”Summer held a thermal lunchbox in her hands and stood at the entrance to the elevator while she stood at Ardly Corporation’s headquarters. She had heard all sorts of rumors before, and she thought she was already immune to t
She hesitated for a long time, but in the end, Summer did not have the courage to push the door and go in. Lowering her head, she looked at the thermal lunchbox in her hands, took a deep breath, and left. At Thousand Cities Square, Summer gazed up at the shop logos as she walked along the street.She touched the pendant that hung from her neck, and her heart ached. The pendant was a birthday present from Alaric three years ago.Later, she found out that Samson had personally designed the pendant. She used to appreciate the pendant on her neck very much, but since she lost her memories, she had chosen to sell the pendant so that she and her child could survive. Maybe, memory loss was just another excuse to comfort herself.She felt sorry for Samson, but that in itself was already wrong.She was no longer the Summer of the past or the Summer treasured by Samson. “Wow! Marry him!”“It’s too beautiful. When will there be a man who’ll willingly propose to me?”*****The lobby of Thous
Jasper pointed at the bench by the road and smiled pleasantly.Summer did not want to look at Jasper’s face, much less his eyes.When she saw him, her mind would be filled with torture that she could not shake off. His mere existence alone felt like a direct mockery to Summer, telling her that she did not deserve to be together with Samson or be loved by him.In fact, she did not deserve to be alive!She was originally a rich young lady. But now, she was just a woman who had fallen from the top into the mud, and she could never be clean again. “Chairman Miller, are you planning to ask me to show mercy and please your lover?” Summer smiled coldly and followed Jasper. “I’ll never give up, and I’ll make Victoria live miserably. Like I’ve said before, if you’re capable, just keep protecting her.”Jasper sat on the bench, and he slowly opened the thermal lunchbox that Summer wanted to throw away.It was still warm, and the pork ribs in clear broth and lotus smelled good. It had been some
It was late at night. Samson did not return to the mansion.Meanwhile, Summer sat on the sofa and called Samson many times.Despite the multiple calls, he did not pick up. She looked at her phone in alarm. Usually, Samson would pick up her call. It was so late now...“He must be angry...” Summer muttered softly. She felt insecure and hugged herself tightly. Now… Samson finally wanted to abandon her as well. Irene was right; every man would mind if the woman they loved belonged to another man before...Samson must have already started to feel miserable being with her. *Buzz!* Summer’s phone rang. She nervously took her phone and answered it immediately, “Samson...” “Miss Plath, Chairman Ardly has drunk too much. Could you take care of him?” It was the assistant who called her.“Where are you?” Summer asked anxiously. “We just came out of the bar. I’ll send Chairman Ardly back now.”After hanging up, Summer got up nervously to prepare some hangover soup. Then, she quickly grabb
If he was willing to let her accompany him...“Hangover soup?” Samson shoved Summer away. “You made soup for him, and it’s the same for this hangover soup as well! Stop giving me the things that you’ve prepared for him as if I’m some kind of charity case!”*Bang!* The glass cup in Summer’s hand fell to the floor and crashed into pieces. Summer stared at the broken glass cup on the floor for a long time, and just like the glass cup, her heart shattered into pieces too. “You’re drunk,” she spoke hoarsely and got up. Summer moved like a puppet without a soul. Samson was beginning to feel a little sober at that moment, and when he saw Summer going upstairs, thoroughly upset, he wanted to slap himself. *Bang!* Samson kicked everything on the table to the floor. “Sum...” Samson went upstairs nervously, but Summer had locked the door. “I’m sorry... I just... I drank too much. I...”Summer leaned against the door as her heart raced in a panic. Her vision was blurry, and she felt weak.
“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.
