Jasper raised his hands and grabbed Summerโs fingers. โDo you want to come back home with me tonight?โ He missed Little Chestnut. โNot tonight.โ Summer thought about it, because something happened to Cain. โAnything urgent? Do you need me to help?โ Jasper pulled Summer into his arms. โNo need. Give me fifty thousand dollars. I need them to be in one-dollar notes.โ Summer pushed Jasper away and chose what she believed to be the ugliest suit for Jasper. But Jasper was just too handsome, even the ugliest suit made him look charming. Jasperโs hand stiffened for a while while he was wearing the suit. โWhy does she need fifty thousand dollars, and all in one-dollar notes? What is she doing with that money?โWithout asking much, Jasper asked Carter to prepare the money. No matter what Summer asked for, he would try his best to satisfy her, except divorce. โJasper, I warned you. Stop coming after me. What happened last night was an accident!โ Summer warned coldly and felt a he
โYouโre Cainโs sister?โ The rich second-generation man frowned and said, โNone of us said that Cain stole the money. He is just a poor student who could not donate much. But when the donation fund was lost, he wore branded shirts and pants that he couldn't afford. Others were just suspecting him, but he had admitted it, didnโt he?โCain felt aggrieved and lowered his head. During this period of time, Summer treated him well and always bought him shirts. Everyone could choose not to believe him, but he did not expect Holton to not believe him, too. โI didnโt explain it, but I did not admit that...โ Cain lowered his head and said warily. โWhy donโt you explain? Isnโt it because you feel guilty?!โ The people around the rich second-generation man sneered and said. โCain, this is not your sister, right? She drives such a nice car. Is she your sugar mommy?โ Beside the rich second-generation man, a woman smirked and grabbed his arm tightly. Summer looked at this tall and handsome ric
Summer asked someone to throw two bags of money on the fundraising site. โWrite down: Donated by Cain!โHolton, who was the president of the student representative council, sat at the side and frowned. โThe money is all one dollar notes. Are you toying with us?โ The woman who was doing bookkeeping got a little angry. โWhat does this woman want?โโWhy? Are one dollar notes not US dollars? Are you discriminating against this money?โ Summer smiled coldly. โYou!โ The woman was mad. โHow can we count these many notes?!โโI donโt care.โ Summer smirked and called the police station. โHello? I heard that the Department of Finance of A University has lost the donation fund. Is that money found? โOkay.โ The police officer asked Summer to wait for a moment. โYes, the money has been found. It was due to the negligence of their class monitor, who left it in the corner of the classroom.โ The police gave a clear explanation. โThat means no one stole the money, right? Could it be someon
โSum...โ Cain was very nervous. Summer was not someone who could be messed with. She would never tolerate this matter. โBe braver! Since they suspected you this time, in the future, even if your class loses just a thread or needle, theyโll think that youโre the thief. And youโll just let them bully you!โ Cain said nothing. He knew clearly that if he did not fight back, he would probably commit suicide after they forced him into a corner. โHolton, right? It has nothing to do with whether Cain likes men or women. As long as he did not say he likes you, none of you are qualified to judge him. Why are you gossiping? Do you even have the right to do it? Even if he wants to be in a relationship, he will not like people like you guys. And youโre worried about being infected? Conscience is also contagious, so why donโt any of you have even the slightest bit of it? All of you are still students, so behave like humans!โSummer was in a rage. She finally understood how Cain felt when he wa
โWhy? Canโt someone who felt wronged launch a complaint? Is this a university or hell?โ Summer insisted. โAre you sure that you want to continue to blow up this mess? This is not beneficial for you and Cain.โ The dean looked at Summer and used his fingers to point at Cainโs shoulder. โI know, you must be holding a grudge because of the scholarship, right? You donโt want to admit that you had stolen the money. The university tried to protect your reputation...โโThatโs nonsense! Thatโs not true. I got first place in the department, and the scholarship belonged to me!โ Cain cried as he wiped his eyes. โThatโs because of your bad character. Donโt think that being in first place is the only standard to judge the student!โ the dean said with a lecturing tone. โWhat kind of bad character did he have? Tell me. And I want to know to whom the scholarship was given to?โ Summer asked with an angry expression. โIt shouldnโt be given to Cain no matter what!โ the monitor said nervously. โ
โOh, Chairman Yadon and Chairman Miller, youโre here!โ The dean was shocked when he saw Yadon and Jasper. He did not hear what Yadon said just now. After all, Yadon and Jasper donated money to Sea Cityโs A University to build a campus. Moreover, Yadon and Jasper were outstanding students who graduated from A University. Everyone in the department knew who they were.โSir, let me introduce them,โ Jasper said in a cold voice as he emitted a cold aura. โThis is my wife, Summer Plath, and thisโฆโใJasper looked at Cain with a cold gaze as he gritted his teeth. โ...is my younger brother, Cain!โCain lowered his head and hid behind Summer in fear. Jasper was scarier than Holton. The dean was dumbfounded. He looked Cain up and down, shifted his gaze to Summer, then at Jasper. โSoโฆ sheโs your wife?โโWhatโs the matter? Canโt I, the successor for Plath Corporation, be worthy enough to be with Jasper?โ Summer then said coldly as she introduced herself again, โIโm sorry for not introducing
Of course Yadon would not suspect that Holton would steal the donated funds. After all, the Caballero family was still the richest family even if it went downhill. Holton was favored by both his father and grandfather. How could he lack money? Besides, Holton was not that kind of person.โWhat are you scared of? I need to check the surveillance videos!โ Summer narrowed her eyes. She also noticed Holtonโs guilty expression. The universityโs beauty was stunned. She was unsure why Holton was being anxious.The class monitor, who was initially filled with righteousness, became quiet and looked nervous. She was standing still, as if her body had turned stiff.Once they reached the school office, Summer asked, โLetโs check the surveillance video from that day. The school should have a backup, right?โโWe only keep the surveillance videos for a week.โ The head of the security department felt troubled. He just got a call from both the director and the principal themselves. โA week? Whe
โYou don't deserve to like him. You never truly trusted him!โ Summer said in a cold voice and glanced at the dean. โWe don't want to be held accountable, and we wonโt ask where the money went. I want you to apologize to Cain in front of the whole class!โSummer hurriedly went off to find Cain. She was worried that something might happen to him. โCain! Cainy!โSummer searched around the school for some time but she could not find him anywhere. She called him but he did not pick up her call. โDonโt worry. Iโve already sent someone to find him.โ Jasper held Summerโs hand, hoping that it would calm her down. Summer looked at Jasper nervously. โWhat should I do? Will he be okay? Will he take things to heart?โโHe wonโt. Stop overthinking.โ Jasper was anxious as he tried to comfort her.โWhat do you know? You know nothing, nothing at all. Nothing!โ Summer pushed Jasper away nervously as she thought how Cain came from such a dark background. Holton was his only sunshine and his dark
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.
