The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 119
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

Summer had barely taken a few steps when someone stepped out of the shadows and blocked her path.She took a step back, and when she saw who it was, a look of impatience appeared on her face. "What? Are you still not satisfied after spending a whole day playing the victim? Are you here to put on a live performance for me?"Rose crossed her arms. She had mentally prepared herself to face Summer again. She had reminded herself over and over that she couldn't lose control and to remain composed.Yet…Standing in front of Summer made her realize how difficult that was."Playing the victim? Are you telling me you didn't do that?" Rose asked with a cold sneer."What exactly do you mean?" Summer looked at her. She didn't know what Rose was thinking, but there was no way Rose would get anything out of her.After a moment of silence, Rose continued, "Summer, I have nothing left now. I didn't come here to fight with you. Since you already had your revenge on me, let's just consider the de

Rose was worried that Summer would kick her out of school before the SATs.Of course, it wasn't because she was particularly eager to study.She still hadn't given up on her plans to deal Summer a fatal blow. For the plan to work smoothly, she needed to come back and take part in the SATs like a normal student and naturally participate in the school's post-graduation events.If she didn't return to school, Summer would definitely suspect things if she suddenly appeared during those activities.In order for her not to be expelled, Rose had taken the initiative to spread rumors at school that Summer had harmed her. Then, she deliberately played the victim in front of their classmates.That way, it would definitely spark public outrage if Summer still tried to get her expelled.Rose thought about how much Summer had caused her to suffer in silence, and she wanted Summer to get a taste of her own medicine.Summer glanced at Chandler.Why was he following her again?She said coolly
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 125
Rose had accomplished her goal.She stood there pitifully as she tried to explain to the onlookers. "You've all misunderstood. That's not what I meant.""Rose, aren't you afraid that Mason will get angry that you labeled him as someone that has been cheated on?" Summer asked indifferently.Rose froze in place.The surrounding discussions instantly stopped as well."I barely even know him, and I've only exchanged a few words with the transfer student. Next time, try going for something easier if you're going to make things up," Summer said. She tilted her chin toward the crowd. "There are so many people here. If word gets out, what do you think Mason will do considering his personality?"Rose had never even considered that. She only brought up Mason to provoke Summer.Summer walked in front of Rose and casually straightened the latter's crooked collar. After that, she whispered so that only the two of them could hear, "Right. I forgot to ask you at home last time. How are thing
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 126
Rose started to worry after that. How did Summer know about Anthony and her? She had always been careful about keeping it a secret.After the fiasco today, Summer would definitely maintain peace with her on the surface.To ensure her future plans went smoothly, she would need to properly keep her temper in control. Only then would Summer lower her guard.…Summer made her way back to the dormitory. As soon as she stepped out of the elevator, someone suddenly ran out of the stairwell and blocked her path."You again?" Summer stared at Chandler, who was panting, and started to lose her patience."Have a chat with me," Chandler said."Not interested," Summer said and tried to leave.He grabbed her hand and dragged her to the stairwell. "Don't scream. You know what people will say if they see us like this."She looked at him.Chandler was definitely up to something. He was completely different from when he was in school."I wasn't planning on screaming. Who exactly are you?" Sum

"What does it have to do with you?" Mason sneered."You…" Snow was shocked by his indifference.She'd just caught them doing something inappropriate. Shouldn't he be panicking? Shouldn't he be begging for her to keep their secret?Then, Mason forcefully pushed the door, shoving Snow outside and slamming it shut.Snow stomped her foot on the ground furiously, but there was nothing she could do. She thought to herself that she would go look for Summer tomorrow. If Mason didn't care, surely Summer would have some shame.Then, with a huff, she yanked up the pajama top that had slid down her shoulders and stormed back to her room.…Early the next morning, Summer woke up, washed up, and went to knock on Mason's door. After that, the two of them went to have breakfast in the dining room.Snow, as a volunteer, was in the dining room as well. When she saw the two of them walk in and how attentive Mason was to Summer, she felt a surge of jealousy in her heart."You still haven't gotten

Summer sat on the bed while Mason knelt at the bedside. He carefully applied ointment to her bites with visible concern.Summer reassured him, "It's just mosquito bites. They'll be gone after a good night's sleep.""Plenty of people have gotten sick from mosquito bites," Mason said.Summer reached out, grabbed his wrist, and attempted to pull him up. But she lost her balance and tumbled backward onto the bed, almost dragging Mason down with her.Luckily, he braced himself with both hands on either side of her, narrowly keeping them from falling. Now, he was hovering above her, and their eyes met.The scent of herbal balm filled the room, somehow making for a strange atmosphere."You got bitten on the cheek, too," Mason said as he looked at her face."Don't put that green stuff on my face. It's weird," Summer said."No…" Mason protested.Summer blinked. "It'll be fine. If you're really worried, just kiss it. Saliva has antibacterial properties, too."Mason said nothing as he l

Otherwise, Mason truly didn't know what he would do.Would he try to snatch Summer away? What if she hated him for it? What if she was never happy again because of it?That wasn't what he wanted. All he wanted was for Summer to live a happy, joyful life. Whether or not he was a part of that life didn't seem to matter much."There are some water lilies over there. They might still be in bloom, so let's go check them out." Summer's cheeks were flushed, and she was still slightly out of breath."Alright." Mason nodded.The two of them walked over side by side and even held hands for a while. By the time they reached the water lily pond, Summer let go.There were two couples by the pond. One pair was leaning close to the other, while the other was taking photos.Mason looked at them, finding the scene both dazzling and enviable. Once again, he regretted accepting to pretend to be her brother."Look! There are so many water lilies!" Summer didn't notice Mason's gloom as she grabbed

Once Snow was gone, the other women started to whisper among themselves."I bet she's going to look for Betsy. She probably wants to switch rooms to be next to that handsome guy.""For sure. She probably went to take a shower and doll herself up, too.""She's always throwing herself at guys but still acts so high and mighty. I really don't get what's going on in her head."Summer and Mason had already walked quite far ahead.Summer couldn't hold back her laughter anymore. "What do we do, Mason? It looks like that pretty girl has a crush on you."Mason glanced at her.Before she could react, he suddenly pulled her into his arms, lowered his head, and kissed her hard. "You're very happy, aren't you?"There were quite a few guests walking around the farm at that moment.Summer was startled and tried to break free, but Mason only held her even tighter."Mr. Hunt, it was my fault!" Summer surrendered immediately.Mason said nothing."If that woman comes looking for you, I'll hel
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 385
Mason was visibly pleased when he heard Summer say that there was still plenty of time. He nodded without hesitation.After dinner, Summer and Mason took a leisurely stroll outside.The countryside at night was far quieter than the city. The farmland was in full bloom. With everything growing strong and lush, they walked along a small path, and when they looked up, the sky was filled with stars."There are so many stars!" Summer exclaimed.Mason looked up as well. He wasn't really interested in them. Rather than stars, he was far more interested in looking at Summer."You liked stars a lot when you were a kid," Mason said.Summer looked at him before she shook her head in disbelief. "We met just once when I was young. How much did I tell you?""You told me quite a lot," Mason said.Summer shook her head again. "It looks like I've always been weak to good-looking people. I told you everything, I guess."That made Mason's grin even wider. "So, is that a compliment?""Isn't that

"Hello," Mason greeted politely.Randall instantly lit up with the same warm smile as before. "No need to be so polite. The dishes are almost ready. Would you two like to eat inside the house or out in the open area out front?""What do you think?" Summer asked.Mason never expected that Summer treating him like her brother could have this sort of effect. "Whatever you like.""Let's eat inside first. We can walk around after dinner," Summer said.The owner chuckled and immediately had someone arrange it.It was the summer break, so there were quite a few guests at the farm, but not many were staying overnight.Summer had arrived late. Most people had already eaten and gone out for a stroll.Summer asked Mason softly, "What do you think? Do you like it? We can sleep here and go catch some shrimp tomorrow. There are many fruits and vegetables to pick, too. "When I came with my parents, they almost picked a whole carload and insisted on bringing them home. In the end, they gave

"How would you know where I want to go?" Mason asked with a smile."I just do!" Summer answered confidently.After passing what used to be the flea market, the road opened up into the countryside. Mason could see stretches of fields rolling by.On the way there, a call came in from the company.Summer glanced at Mason before she answered the call.Very quickly, she heard Lionel's voice. "Summer, have you eaten yet?""I still haven't. What's up?" Summer replied. Her tone was totally different from the one she used with Mason."There's a problem with the structure of the Escape From the Asylum project. I kept calling Hunt, but he hasn't been answering. Could you try contacting him later?" Lionel said.Hunt naturally referred to Saul.Ever since the restaurant incident, Saul had rarely shown up at the company. Summer had been so busy lately that the two of them barely crossed paths. Even so, they had kept in touch on the phone."I got it. If it's getting too late and you can't s

Even putting everything else aside, the incident that had taken Xena's life, according to Luke, had been a result of an internal family conflict. Xena had simply been caught in the crossfire.Cynthia had lost Xena—her sister—and then spent years in a vegetative state. If Mason ignored her, that would have reflected really poorly on his character. It would have meant that he had no sense of responsibility.Mason gave her a gentle smile. "That was a close call.""Let's go out for dinner tonight," Summer said suddenly.Mason was taken aback for a moment. "Go out? Aren't you afraid someone might see us?"Of course Mason wanted to, but Summer had always seemed reluctant to be exposed publicly like that.Summer said as she pulled Mason up. "No one will. Take off your suit. I'll bring you to a nighttime flea market. No wealthy folk will be there."Mason looked a little lost. He had never been to such places.While he went to change, Summer pulled out two baseball caps from a drawer an

In the blink of an eye, a busy month came to an end.That afternoon, Summer received a call from her apartment management. Someone from the floor below had complained about a leak from her unit, and they asked her to check it out.Summer immediately drove over.The moment she stepped out of the elevator, she didn't see the neighbor or the property staff. Instead, she was greeted with the sight of a massive bouquet, as well as Mason waiting for her right next to the door."You're back?" Summer's eyes lit up as her face bloomed with joy. She skipped over to Mason excitedly."I thought you said you wouldn't be back until next week?" Summer asked."I missed you so much that I came home early." Mason shifted the flowers aside and opened his arms.Summer lunged into his embrace with a radiant smile, wrapping her arms around his waist. "Welcome back, Mr. Hunt!"Mason held the bouquet with one hand as he gently stroked her head with the other. He lowered his head and kissed Summer on t
