"Wait for me in the car," Mason said in a low voice."What are you going to do?" Summer grabbed his hand.She could feel Mason's anger and was afraid he might lose control and kill Chandler."I'm going to cut off his hands!" he gritted out."Mason, I don't want your family conflict to escalate because of me. Otherwise, the ones who will suffer in the end will be me and Hartford Group," Summer said seriously.Mason's gaze instantly darkened."My hands hurt." She softened her tone.He frowned. A moment later, he reached over and buckled her seatbelt.As he passed her, Summer could feel Mason trembling, surprising her greatly. After all, Mason wasn't the type to lose his composure over something like this.Closing the door, Mason turned and walked toward the driver's side.At that moment, Chandler's men came rushing out, carrying Chandler who was already conscious."Mason!" Chandler screamed hoarsely.Mason stopped in his tracks as he looked at Chandler coldly."You'd go this

Mason thought for a moment before turning the car around and heading in a different direction."Where are we going? There's a pharmacy up ahead," Summer asked in confusion."Your apartment," he replied.Summer felt an urge to pull her hair out. Why had she been so stupid and brought Mason to her secret hideout on a whim last time? Now, he knew the way by heart.Her apartment wasn't far away. With the roads being clear at night, they arrived in about ten minutes.Mason opened the door and instinctively reached out to carry her.Summer hurriedly said, "My legs aren't weak anymore."He gave a small nod before stepping back.After she got out, Mason went to the trunk and pulled out a large case."What's that?" Summer asked cautiously."A medical kit," Mason answered."That big?" Summer's eyes widened.Most people's first-aid kits were just small square boxes, but Mason's looked more like a 24-inch suitcase."Upstairs." Mason was really angry that night.Even when he was upset

So, could Summer really blame Mason? Could she blame him for saving her that night? Wouldn't that just be ungrateful?"I'll be more careful myself." Summer let out a sigh.She had been too careless tonight. If she had known, she'd just have asked Saul to drop her off near her school."You haven't answered me. Why were you out so late?" Mason pressed."Don't pry into my business. Did I ask you about why you were trapped at home?" Summer shot back without thinking.Probably because of what happened in her past life, she naturally felt safer when she was around Mason. She tended to let her guard down around him.Mason didn't even lift his head. After finishing with her wrist, he carefully applied medicine before wrapping it gently in soft gauze.He said, "Royal Financial Group started off as a luxury brand. After I took over, I expanded into other industries. Now, my uncles want to separate the original business from the rest, leaving me with only the newer ventures.""My grandpa

"It's not related." Summer shook her head.Mason stared at her. "It looks like it is. Laugh all you want. There's no need to hold it in.""Anyway, my grandpa can't find out about this injury." Summer swallowed her laughter and put on a serious face.Mason continued to look at her. The smile had faded from his face, but Summer's eyes were still bright with amusement. It greatly soothed the anger, fear, and anxiety that Mason had been feeling since he found her.He finally looked away and put the medical supplies back into the box. "I understand. Come over after school every day. I'll change your dressing."Summer shook her head. "There's no need to trouble yourself so much. It's just some scraped skin. I'll handle it myself. I'm not planning on wearing the bandages to school tomorrow. That's basically announcing to the whole world that I got hurt."Mason frowned. "That won't do.""If I say it's fine, then it's fine," Summer said firmly."If you don't behave, I might have to ask

Mason lowered his gaze. "There was no particular reason. Haven't you heard that my hobby is acquiring companies?"Summer was speechless."Is Mr. Hartford Senior still mad at me?" Mason asked.Summer noded without hesitation. "Yep! We aren't even allowed to mention your name at home. He won't say it, either. He just called you 'that little wolf cub.'"Mason chuckled. "'Wolf cub'? That sounds quite adorable."Summer did not get Mason's sense of humor.But now that he said it, why did it suddenly sound kind of cute?Mason continued, "I did mess up that time. Once the situation with Royal Financial Group settles down, I'll personally apologize to him."Mason looked incredibly serious as he said that.He was so serious that Summer even started feeling a little guilty. For a second there, she was worried he would confess to her.But he didn't."I'm going to bed. You should head back. I'm not scared." Summer got up."Alright. Go ahead." Mason nodded.Without another word, Summer

The driver, Edwin Moore, dropped Summer off on a small road near the school.He handed her a business card and said, "Miss, this is my number. Mr. Hunt said that you can call me at any time if you ever find it inconvenient to call your family's driver. I'll be there right away."Summer hesitated for a moment before she took the card. "Thank you."Nearby, street vendors were already busy selling breakfast, and steam was rising into the crisp morning air.Summer had planned to slip back into school through the side gate. But she glanced at the bustling scene.She had never bought breakfast from a place like this in her past life. Looking at the busy people and the white mist surrounding them, she felt a sense of peace. Even in her past life, that feeling was a rare one.She walked to a stall and bought two breakfast wraps before she walked toward the school.The moment she reached the building, she saw Robin frantically searching for her.He hurried over. "Ms. Hartford, where did

Lindsey looked at Summer with admiration. "Summer, sometimes, I really wonder if you're a machine. By the way, you weren't here last night. The principal said he found a teaching assistant to cover for him when he's not around. I heard this assistant is amazing."Harold had been swamped with problems lately. The whole Chandler situation was enough to keep him in hot water with Mason, making it impossible for him to teach their class as usual. Solving that difficult problem had taken some time.By now, most of the students had arrived."He's here! He's here!"There was a commotion among the students in the front row.Summer instinctively looked up. She saw Harold walk in with a tall and slender man behind him.When she saw that nerdy man, her expression darkened.She wasn't the only one with a dramatic change in expression, for Rose's expression changed, too.Harold announced, "Class, let me introduce someone to you. This is your senior, Anthony Lawson. I probably don't need to

The senior students had become increasingly tense due to the approaching SAT. Even during break time, there were barely any students in the hallways.Summer walked to the pantry and slowly poured herself a cup of hot water.The resentment radiating from Rose had practically filled the classroom. It was impossible for Summer to ignore.It seemed like Anthony hadn't told Rose about coming to class. Did that mean that those two had already fallen out?How fragile! She hadn't even made a move yet, and those so-called "true loves" from her past life were already in shambles."Summer," Anthony said from behind her at that moment."Hello, Anthony," Summer replied flatly as she capped her water bottle.Anthony smiled and said, "I didn't expect to see you again so soon. When Mr. Green contacted me, I had no idea I'd be teaching your class.""Really? Rose didn't tell you?" Summer feigned innocence.Anthony shook his head. "I haven't been in contact with Rose much. Ever since she stopped

"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
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 209
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
