The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 14
Summer cracked her neck, ready to tackle the hackers on the site.Just then, Phoebe knocked on the door. "Ms. Hartford, are you still napping?"Summer shut her computer and went to open the door. As soon as it opened, the warm, sweet aroma of chestnut cake wafted in."Chestnut cake!" Her eyes lit up immediately, and she happily took the cake from Phoebe.Phoebe chuckled and said, "Ms. Hartford, you're such a slave to chestnut cake! Is it really that good?"Chestnut cake was Summer's absolute favorite treat. On second thought, she realized she hadn't had any for three years—not since her time in that dreadful psychiatric hospital.Summer set the cake down and hugged Phoebe. "Phoebe, how did you know I was craving this?"Oh, Summer… How big of a fool were you in your past life to have lost someone like Phoebe?"The pastry chef noticed you've been in a bad mood and made one for you," Phoebe explained. "Hurry up and try it. It smells amazing!""Okay!"Summer took a bite of the ch

Phoebe fell silent.Rose was indeed a master at disguising herself. If Phoebe hadn't stumbled upon her little schemes by chance, she might never have realized Rose was a backstabber."So, what should we do now?" Phoebe asked."Nothing," Summer answered with a smile. "Everything stays the same. We don't make any sudden moves. Considering how cunning Rose is, we have to strike at the right time to crush her at once. Otherwise, she'll find a way to retaliate.""You're right!" Phoebe quickly nodded. "The more critical the situation, the calmer we need to be.""Also, don't confront her or try to warn her in any way," Summer instructed firmly.Phoebe had never been one to mince words when it came to Rose, often making cutting remarks or mocking her in front of Summer.Summer was worried that Rose might once again target Phoebe in this lifetime. But fortunately, Phoebe was quick to catch on and nodded in agreement.Summer couldn't help but reflect on the tragic end of her previous lif

The manor was adorned romantically inside and out for Summer's birthday. She stepped onto the soft carpet, her expression blank as she walked toward Rose's room.Fragments of false memories she once shared with Anthony flitted through her mind.It had been a long time since she last saw him. Ever since that wedding night when he tricked her into signing the stock transfer agreement, the three years of inhumane torment that followed had blurred even his face in her memory.Now, as Summer was about to see Anthony again, she thought she might feel something. After all, she had truly loved him once.Yet, hatred had devoured every trace of that deluded affection.At this moment, her only thought was to drag Anthony into the depths of hell and make him suffer a thousandfold for the agony he had inflicted upon her.When Summer arrived, the maid respectfully opened the door to Rose's room.Inside were three women and one man, along with Kristen and Rose.Rose greeted her with a smile,

"We have plenty of rooms. If the tutors are willing, of course they can stay," Kristen replied.As in the previous life, all four private tutors agreed to stay. Rose's mood visibly brightened.After chatting with the tutors for a while, Kristen called Summer to step outside."Mom, is something wrong?" Summer asked.Kristen was still not fully accustomed to Summer calling her "Mom" so casually. She cleared her throat and asked, "Do you not like Anthony?""Why do you ask?""You're always rude to me, but not to others," Kristen replied as she glanced at Summer. "If you don't like him, just say so. I can make an excuse to keep him from coming."Summer shook her head. "No need. Rose trusts them. Haven't you noticed? Her mood's a lot better than it was this morning. Right now, there's nothing more important than making her happy.""Then, they will only teach her. I'll find other tutors for you," Kristen said."No need." Summer smiled, shaking her head. "Actually, I was about to talk

Rose couldn't believe her eyes.Weren't Summer and Kristen always at odds? When did they become so affectionate?Noticing how Kristen was gazing at Summer with such tenderness, Rose felt her heart burn with jealousy.No! She couldn't let them make up! Kristen's attention should only be on her! This was something Rose felt she was owed. She clenched her fists tightly and then retreated into her room with a stormy expression.…Convincing Henry went far more smoothly than expected.Initially, he had strongly opposed it, much like Kristen. But after hearing Summer's reasoning, he pondered for a long time and eventually agreed.Rose, however, was still unaware of this decision. She spent the entire night brainstorming ways to create opportunities for Summer to fall in love with Anthony as soon as possible.As for Anthony, he had been conflicted about whether he should continue with his involvement before arriving at Hartford Manor. He had even considered telling Henry about Rose'

"School?" Rose was shocked.Anthony, who had been chatting with Henry, was also taken aback."Yes. She didn't want to take lessons at home, so I let her go," Henry explained.Rose's face turned pale, while the private tutors exchanged awkward glances."Um, Mr. Hartford Senior, we've finished our breakfast. We should go prepare the teaching materials for the lessons," one of the tutors said."Of course. If you need anything, just ask the maids," Henry replied kindly.Then, the tutors, including Anthony, got up and left the dining room."Rose, Summer probably didn't want to worry you. She has her reasons for doing this," Henry said gently."I know. It's just… I don't understand why she didn't tell me…" Rose fell silent, her lips pressed in a thin line.Damn it! Why on earth would Summer choose to go to school instead of attending private lessons at home in the middle of all this turmoil? Was Summer out of her mind? If she wasn't going to stay home for lessons, then what was the

However, Summer was no longer the person she once was.…Summer was wearing a custom-made school uniform for elite schools, complete with a shining school badge.The horrible makeup Rose always smeared on her face was gone. Her long hair was draped across her shoulders in soft waves, and she only wore a pearl hair clip near her left ear.Summer had always had good looks, and she was stunning even without makeup. In the past, her original radiance was simply shrouded by her meekness, along with the terrible makeup and messy hair.The car pulled up in front of the academic building. Getting out of the car, Robin respectfully opened the car door for Summer.As soon as Summer got out of the car, the passersby seemed to have frozen in time. They all turned their attention to Summer."Ms. Hartford, I'm always available. If you need any help, feel free to call me." Robin handed Summer her school bag."Okay." Smiling, Summer nodded. "Thank you, Mr. Cohen."Robin nodded a little. Then,

Annie was stunned for a moment. After all, Summer had always been a useless heir. She had never dared to speak a whole sentence to Annie and the young ladies, let alone look them in the eye when she talked.Annie wondered what was wrong with Summer today.Now that the person who had always been beneath her was suddenly talking to her like that, Annie felt like it was a threat to her pride.Walking up to Summer, she answered in an arrogant tone, "Yes. I was the one who did it. I was just putting trash where it belongs. What's wrong with that?"Summer looked at Annie. There wasn't even a hint of fear in her eyes.Meanwhile, Annie felt a little intimidated by Summer's gaze."What are you looking at?" she asked in an unusually loud voice, which was evidence of her guilt.Then, she suddenly screamed at Summer and reached up to grab the latter's hair.However, before Annie could touch Summer, someone had already grabbed her hair instead.After that, a shocking scene played out in fr

"Are we… even that close?" Puzzled, Summer questioned Anthony, putting him on the spot.The smile froze on his face.Arms crossed, she took a step back. "Anthony, do you have a crush on me or what?" Scanning him from head to toe, she sneered. "If that's true, you should target someone else. You're nowhere close to my ideal type. I'm not into gentlemen, but Rose is." Anthony's expression stiffened. "Summer, there's a misunderstanding here. I'm just amazed at your intelligence and your academic performance, and I would like to befriend you.""I will never be friends with Rose's boyfriends." She shrugged, sending a wave of panic through Anthony.He tried to explain himself, but Phoebe, rushing down the stairs, interrupted them by exclaiming, "Ms. Hartford, you're up!"Anthony clenched his jaw and held his tongue. Ignoring him, Summer approached Phoebe with a smile. "What's for breakfast?""All your favorite dishes!" Phoebe gave Anthony a side-eye. "Mr. Lawson, why are you here?

"You should stop Summer if you knew she'd hurt me!" Rose panicked. The last thing she wanted was to be "exiled" to a foreign country. Who knew what drastic change would happen to Summer when she was not around?"Rose Sanderson, you're the one who made a mistake here. If Summer wants to hurt you because of it, you only have two options—run away or bear with it." Kristen was unusually stern. "It's my job as Summer's mom to protect her. Not only did I not take it out on you, but I even offered you the chance to study abroad for your mother's sake. Do not test my limits!"Her last remark drove a knife into Rose's chest. "It's my job as Summer's mom to protect her"—these impactful words repeatedly played in Rose's mind. For the longest time, Kristen was nice to Rose and cold to Summer to the point where Rose nearly forgot that Kristen was first and foremost Summer's mother."Got it." A long silence later, Rose stopped crying. She wiped away her tears and stood up."Please hand the l

It took Rose a while to wrap her head around the situation. Staring at Kristen in disbelief, she whimpered, "Aunt Kristen, why… Why did you slap me?""You know very well why I slapped you," barked Kristen."Is it because I have my suspicions about Summer?" Sobbing, Rose questioned, "Can't I even suspect her? I didn't even tell a soul about it except you. How is that wrong? Do you expect me to bring it to my grave?""Enough!" Kristen would not have it anymore. "Rose, do you take us for fools?"Rose cried and cried. "I have no idea what you're talking about!"Kristen took a deep breath to calm herself. "Remember that time a classmate called you to tell you that it was Summer who hired the men to assault you? Write down his name and his contact number."Taken aback, Rose swiftly shook her head. "But he truly cares about me! I will never tell on him!""Is that the truth, or is it because that alleged classmate did not exist in the first place?" Kristen coldly pressed on. "I've looke

"Dad, Mason Hunt is a busy man. He has no time to pull that off," Luke dismissed Henry's wild guess in exasperation."Let's make a bet. I bet Mr. Sutton will disappear before he even arrives at the police station!" Henry put on a serious face. "If that's the case, we can confirm that Mason was behind this, and I won't go easy on him!"Summer sighed softly at Henry's hostility toward Mason. Still, Mason wouldn't have volunteered to send Ivan to the police without a good reason. She suspected that Ivan might not survive to see another day.…Late at night, Mason emerged from an alley while wiping his hands with a flat expression.Kyle was waiting for him by the car. When he showed up, Kyle opened the car door for him.Mason stepped into the car and ordered, "Find every single one of the people in this recording."Head lowered, he sent an audio recording to Kyle. Kyle grunted. "Sure!""Get someone to send that thing in the alley to the police." A cold glint appeared across Mason

Luke said sternly to Rose, "Talk normally. Get up."Henry still looked upset, but he didn't say anything harsh. He commanded Rose in a heavy tone, "Write down the names of Summer's bullies that you know of!"Rose agreed immediately, "I'll do that right now!"Kristen interjected, "I'll go with you."Seeing Rose sniffling, Kristen comforted her, "Stop crying."Rose sobbed and nodded before leaving the living room with Kristen.Meanwhile, Summer whispered to Henry, "Grandpa, don't be mad. I promise I won't do that anymore. No one has been bullying me at school these days.""That's because Robin has been dropping you off and picking you up every day!" Luke reminded her gruffly.Henry seemed heartbroken. "I should have made Robin do that from the start!""Mr. Cohen is capable of more, so he shouldn't be driving me around." Amused, Summer reassured Henry, "Trust me, Grandpa. I'm really good at handling the bullies now."In Henry's eyes, Summer was a fragile girl who had to be prote

Summer's chest tightened. The rage and pain in Henry's eyes reminded her of the time he protested against her decision to marry Anthony. She seemed to have traveled back to that moment in her past life."I'm sorry." She nearly suffered a breakdown. Clasping Henry's hand tightly, she promised, "I will not do that again. I was wrong. Grandpa, I'm sorry."Henry teared up as well. He was a strict father to Luke. Having never raised a daughter, he was a little flustered when he welcomed the birth of Summer. Staring at the wrinkly baby, he wondered how to raise her right.Later, he learned that a girl should be raised in the best environment so that she wouldn't easily fall for those who promised her good things. Keeping that in mind, he offered Summer the best of everything.Hence, he was devastated to learn from Ivan that Summer was bullied in school. He realized he had failed to protect the poor girl."You're the heiress of Hartford Group. How could a girl with that background get bu

"Are you talking about the bullying?" asked Summer.Rose's face was fraught with anxiety. "Summer, it's not that serious. Everyone's just fooling around. Downplay it later—you don't want to get everyone's parents involved. "You knew how much Grandpa loves you. I can't imagine the lengths he would go to for you."Summer smiled at Rose. "So, you're worried about our classmates. I thought you would be more worried for yourself. Grandpa might blame you for keeping the truth."Rose's face was drained of color. That was her main concern for sure. She couldn't care less about the fates of Summer's arrogant bullies at school.She was more worried the Hartfords would look into the school bullying. What if they found out about her involvement—that she had often gathered girls to bully Summer?She would be done for!"Didn't I tell you to keep it a secret from Grandpa?" whispered Rose. "Don't spew nonsense later. Grandpa, Uncle Luke, and Aunt Kristen looked at me differently after your sli

"Who did it?" Henry was utterly incensed. He grabbed Ivan by the collar and lifted him up from the floor.Although Henry looked kind, he was a tough nut, which was how he built his business empire.Ivan was intimidated by him. Still, he gathered his courage and tried to negotiate with Henry, "I will tell you if you promise to let me off the hook!"Henry did not reply. He stared intently at Ivan, sending a shiver down the latter's spine.Moments later, Henry said to Ivan, "You attacked my granddaughter, ignored her pleas for help, and protected her bullies. Do you think I will forgive you? I will learn about the bullying, even if you didn't tell me."With that, he shoved Ivan onto the floor hard. Ivan grimaced when his broken leg collided against the decorative rocks in the yard.Henry entered the house with a sullen face. He briefly glanced at Rose, making her tremble.Although Henry was nice to her during her stay at the Hartford residence, she had heard a lot of tales about

"Don't—" Ivan's panic deepened when Summer showed him no mercy. Yet, she had left.He scrambled over to Henry. "Mr. Hartford Senior, believe me when I say it was a bad decision. I was angry at Summer because she's been giving me trouble at school. That's why I lost it and acted on my emotions. "Please forgive me. I've been her homeroom teacher for years. I'll do anything for your forgiveness!""You should consider yourself lucky that I didn't beat you up after you hurt my granddaughter. How dare you ask for my forgiveness?" Henry sneered as Ivan became increasingly nervous.Suddenly, Ivan noticed Rose, who was standing on the side. "Rose, I have been good to you. Speak up for me! I made a mistake."Rose nearly rolled her eyes at him. She wasn't that dumb to speak up for him, especially when Henry was shaking in anger.Henry bellowed, "No use getting anyone to speak up for you! Robin, get him out of here! What an eyesore!"Robin went forward, grabbed Ivan by the collar, and drag
