The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 115
After finishing everything, Rose walked back to the couch and sat down.She never expected Terry's body to be washed downstream.After a brief moment of panic, she suddenly let out a sinister laugh. "So, killing someone is just that easy?"After saying that, she clenched her fists tightly. "Summer, you forced me into this. One day, I'll make sure to pay you back a thousand times over!"…Terry's murder became something of an unspoken understanding among the Hartford family. For an entire day, not a single person brought it up.After having breakfast, Summer found an excuse to leave the house.This time, she drove herself using a small car that was meant for groceries. She headed right to the underground market on the outskirts of the city.It wasn't just computer parts that were sold there. It also served as a hub for virtual transactions.Summer went to the same store as last time. Before she left the house, she had even arranged things with Lionel. When she arrived at the ma

"So, this is the expert you were talking about?" Summer asked.Lionel quickly nodded. "That's right. Saul was the one who did the marketing for that interstellar game last year.""I didn't expect you to be good at this despite your mediocre coding skills." Summer raised an eyebrow slightly.Lionel was taken aback and hurried to explain, "Hey, miss, Saul is…"Saul calmly interrupted him, "My skills aren't great, so if you're willing to teach me, I can give you a discount. How about 30% off?"Lionel blinked at Saul in confusion.What the hell? The big bad wolf was hiding and pretending to be a puppy just to get close to this little fox?Oh, men!"You haven't even seen my work, and you've already decided to take my project?" Summer crossed her arms, showing no excitement over the discount. Instead, she was incredibly cautious."I already saw what you're capable of last time. Besides, didn't Lionel already review your work? He's got a sharp eye. If your design wasn't good, he woul

Saul had just so unexpectedly run into his first love, and the person was X, who drove Terrence out of his mind.This time, she seemed livelier than before. She seemed even more energetic and adorable."You still haven't told me your name," Saul said.Summer thought about it for a moment before she turned and looked at him. "Call me Harvest."Saul was stunned for a moment. That was probably not her real name.He nodded. "Alright, Harvest. Can you show me a demo of the game?""Of course," Summer agreed. Then, she spent over an hour explaining the game to Saul.Summer was incredibly confident in the game.In her past life, Anthony had taken this exact game to Hartford Group. It was a massive success once it launched, making an incredible fortune for the company. Anthony himself basked in the spotlight for a long time.However, when Summer was explaining the game, Saul would occasionally interject with a few questions. From those questions, she realized ways to optimize her gam

The apartment Summer bought wasn't the sort of a dozen units per floor. There were only two units on one floor.When she purchased the place, she had confirmed that the unit across from hers was an investor and had not been occupied in years.So, what was happening now? She had just bought this unit, and the one across from her was sold, too?"Are you the neighbor?" one of the movers greeted her.Summer nodded. "Yes. Did you just move in?""We don't actually live here. My boss owns a renovation company. He bought this unit as a model home to show clients occasionally," that person answered.Summer nodded before she opened the door and entered. There wasn't much noise outside, so she wouldn't be disturbed.She took out the chestnut cake and opened her computer. After she stretched her neck and fingers, she recalled the key points from her discussion with Saul.After that, she quickly drafted a plan for the revision.Summer loved chestnut cake, but if it wasn't made right, it wo

When Summer arrived home, Henry and Luke were still at the company, while Kristen had gone to attend a charity gala. It wasn't until nearly midnight that all three of them returned home one after another.At the company, just like in the past, some people had started to make concerning moves. However, back then, their excuse had been the deaths of Luke and Kristen.Summer didn't know whether changing that outcome would also change anything else."Grandpa, I learned how to make some nice coffee from Phoebe." Summer carried a coffee pot into the study.Henry took off his reading glasses and scolded her a little. "Didn't I tell you never to step into the kitchen? It's so dangerous there. What if you get hurt?""I'm not some porcelain doll! Try it?" Summer sat beside him and poured him a cup of coffee.Despite scolding her, Henry was actually quite happy to drink the coffee his precious Summer made for him.He took a sip and started to sing praises.Summer smiled and casually asked

After pausing for a moment, Summer handed the document back to Henry. "For example, if the person you assigned to investigate this incident was problematic, then how much of this report can be trusted?"Henry was momentarily stunned before he chuckled. "Summer, the person who handled this has been with me for more than ten years."Summer calmly looked at Henry, not arguing with his words.Under her gaze, Henry's smile gradually faded.There was no way he didn't understand what Summer said earlier. Anyone could be a traitor.Henry nodded. "I understand. I'll have Luke look into this again.""Since he's someone close to you, let Dad investigate it quietly," Summer added."Alright," Henry replied.Summer did not dwell on it any longer.The person who wrote this report was, in fact, one of the trusted aides who betrayed Henry back then. This sudden internal unrest in the company was definitely related to those two. Since they hadn't realized anything was off yet, it was the perfec

Rumors of Rose returning to school circulated for two days.On the third morning, Rose actually showed up.It seemed like the school had informed everyone beforehand. So, there was just some curiosity instead of a huge commotion.Rose sat in the corner with her head down, not talking to anyone. She looked like a lonely and pitiful figure.Their classmates would occasionally glance at Summer to gauge her reaction.In the end, Summer had no reaction at all. With her headphones on, she was fully focused on her studying, going through problems at an incredible speed.Lately, Lindsey had been studying with Summer, and she seemed a lot happier. The two of them would compete daily to see who could finish their test papers faster.Summer was incredibly fast.Lindsey never won a single time, but her own problem-solving speed had improved significantly.Saul sent over his marketing proposal during dinnertime.Summer lay on the dormitory couch as she ate her dinner and reviewed it. She

"Summer's too vicious!""Rose must be very strong to come back to school after that.""I support Rose. If she gave up, doesn't that mean Summer got exactly what she wanted?""Honestly, if she didn't have Hartford Group behind her, she'd be nothing. I'd have already taken revenge for Rose."Several girls stood in front of the mirror. Some of them were fixing their makeup while others were adjusting their hair.At that moment, a door behind them swung open. They instinctively glanced at the mirror. And then, they all cried out like they had seen a ghost."Summer? What are you doing here?"Summer walked past them emotionlessly.The girls quickly moved aside.She washed her hands slowly before she said in an indifferent tone, "Next time you gossip behind someone's back, remember to check the stalls first.""Summer, we didn't mean it that way…""Oh? Then, what did you mean? If you want to explain, I'll listen to you seriously." Summer turned to look at them.The girl who spoke

"Go sit down over there!" Summer pointed at the dining room.Mason looked like he wanted to protest, but when Summer glared at him, he sat down obediently."When are you going out?" he asked.She answered, "I need to go out and discuss some things, so I'll be leaving around 10:00 am. I'll try my best to come back before 3:00 pm.""That long?" Mason frowned.Summer poured the chicken broth over the freshly cooked noodles and added two eggs inside before she put the bowl in front of Mason. "Mr. Hunt, I don't like clingy boyfriends. Keep that in mind."Mason didn't know what to say to that. Was he clingy?"Is there anything you want to eat? I'll bring something back for you." Summer decided to offer a small reward after scolding him."Crayfish that you made," Mason said without any hesitation."That's something for next year, so pick something else." She waved it off."How about that place you brought me to last time?" Mason said after some thought. He remembered her enjoying th

That night was a night filled with unease for a lot of people.Anthony switched on his computer and copied two files from an encrypted folder. He had learned that Power Construction was trying to get into the IT industry as well and was looking for a product that would help them break into the market.The two files contained an application and a game. In his eyes, as long as these were developed and released, they would rake in massive profits. Those two files were both from Rose.Initially, they had been meant for him to use as a way to enter Hartford Group."Summer, I'll make sure you regret the decisions you made in the past," Anthony said as he looked at Summer's photo.Initially, he hadn't suspected Summer at all for what happened on the mountain. But when he was leaving, he secretly took that bottle of alcohol with him. Upon closer inspection, he realized the bottle wasn't the one he had tampered with.That was when he finally understood. Summer had probably known all about

Summer felt a sharp pain in her heart, and her eyes started to redden as well.Mason was stunned, not knowing what he did wrong at all. He started to panic. "What's wrong? Did I say something I shouldn't have? Don't cry.""Idiot," Summer scolded as she looked at him.Mason was utterly confused. He lightly patted her on the head and asked, "Why are you so upset?"Summer shook her head. "It's nothing. Didn't you see all the dirt about me online? You still like me after all of that?"Mason shook his head. "I didn't see those. Even if I did, I'd still like you. I know how you are. There's no need for me to learn about you from others.""Wow! Someone's a smooth talker." Summer finally smiled.Mason let out a sigh of relief. "Do you have anything else you want to ask about?""There's nothing else." Summer shook her head."Then, can I…" Mason actually didn't forget about him wanting to pay Henry a visit."You can't!" Summer shut him down immediately before she picked up the cotton s

Mason's complaint seemed laced with complicated emotions. When Summer heard it, she felt her heart skip a beat.She frowned. "How could I not remember anything at all? That doesn't make sense. I was pretty smart when I was six years old. I was thinking about it, and I could even remember getting scolded by my mom after stealing some cookies.""And you look so…" Summer almost blurted out that he looked so good. There was no way she wouldn't remember Mason since she had been a sucker for good looks since she was young.If Mason wasn't lying, then she probably ran over to console him because he was just too good-looking. Otherwise, there was no way she would have dared to get so close to a stranger."And I look what?" Mason asked innocently."You know exactly what you look like," Summer answered vaguely. "I'll go back and ask my parents if I went to that cemetery back then.""Good." Mason nodded.Summer put her arms around his neck again. "I'll believe you for now, but you'd better

Summer was stunned as she looked at Mason in shock. "You…""And that special whack-a-mole game…. I happened to see it when someone hacked into my company's computers a while ago." Mason leaned closer to Summer. "X."Summer felt chills all over as she dropped the cotton swab and took a few steps back. "Jesus! Who the hell are you?"He actually knew about the first game she ever made as a child and even knew she was X.Mason watched her and confirmed that Summer didn't remember anything at all. She wasn't that young back then, so how could she not remember anything?"I'm Mason," Mason answered.Summer's thoughts were in chaos.Mason had mentioned that special game she never told anyone about from when she was young, and he recognized that special whack-a-mole and determined that she was X.It meant that he had the right person.After Summer calmed down, she hurried back to Mason's side and lightly grabbed his neck, pretending to strangle him. "Tell me where we met right now. O

Anthony took a step back. "Alright. Let's go back now. We can talk to your parents together. Don't be so emotional and stay calm. Don't make them worry anymore. I can tell that they love you very much. It's just that they're a little too old-fashioned."Janice sneered. Her face was still stinging from when Patrick slapped her earlier.Love? The only thing they loved was the family's reputation and social standing."Anthony, if you want to get involved in Power Construction, you'll need some real skills. That woman just now was my aunt, and her husband is the general manager of Power Construction's IT department. Bring him down for me." Janice watched Anthony.Anthony nodded without any hesitation. "I'll get it done within three months."…Summer was swamped with the launch of her game, as well as taking care of Mason, the little puppy. The entire day had been a whirlwind of work.Mason realized she was really busy with something important, so he stopped bothering her too much. H

Janice glared at Anthony. "Drop the act. Who used you? Weren't you trying to climb your way into a rich family?"Anthony said slowly, "I love Summer, and the one I want is her, too! She gave me so many hints before, and she was the one who invited me into her tent that night. Otherwise, why would I have gone in? I had no idea the person inside wasn't her!"Janice frowned.Thinking it over, that did make some sense. Why did Anthony need to do that to her in Summer's tent? And there were a lot of rumors surrounding Anthony and Summer in school as well.Anthony grabbed Janice's shoulder. "You can die right now if you want to, but those who harmed us won't feel guilty about it at all. Instead, they'll be pleased that their wicked plans worked. But we can't let that happen, okay? The more we're hurting, the more we need to get revenge on them!"Janice looked a bit surprised. "Revenge? On Summer?""Yes!" Anthony said firmly."How would we get that?" Janice asked.She was definitely u

Janice had once been an outstanding student who excelled in every manner. Compared to Janice, Nora's own child fell far behind.On top of that, Brad had retired a few years ago, and the position of CEO for Power Construction had been given to Patrick, which made Nora incredibly unhappy.With Janice getting caught up in one scandal after another, Nora took full advantage of it. She moved back right away and spent her days whispering into Brad's ears.She embellished all the rumors from the outside and fed them to Brad. Otherwise, there was no way Brad would be so furious."Shut up!" Janice was already sick of Nora's mockery."Oh, my! Dad, just look at her talking to her elders like that. She's completely lost her manners," Nora feigned fear.Janice felt her whole body trembling.What Summer said earlier constantly echoed in her head.She had spent all this time looking for Rose, but she never expected Anthony to barge into her own home. She really didn't know what Anthony said t

Mason let out a long sigh. "Oh, no… What am I supposed to do if you're going out tomorrow?"Summer was bewildered. Mason was supposed to be some notorious monster of a CEO, so why was he acting so weak and pitiful?"Mason, do you really think I'm your personal maid?" she asked.Mason frowned. "Of course not.""You'd better not!" Summer warned.Mason still kept up with the pitiful look, and Summer couldn't bear to say anything else about it.But he was just putting on an act. He didn't actually stop Summer from going out.After that, Summer went and busied herself.Mason sat on the couch. After feeling bored for a while, he eventually started dealing with his own affairs.At dusk, something dawned on him. Tomorrow would be Saul's birthday. Things had been such a mess lately, and Kyle didn't remind him, so he had forgotten all about it.Mason probably wouldn't have time to get a gift anymore. He'd make up for it later.…At around the same time, Janice had hurried home. The m
