"Got it." Summer nodded. Then, her gaze landed on a small box that was next to the pills on the coffee table. "What else did you leave behind?""You got first place in the whole year in the last exams. It's a present," Mason answered.She chuckled in exasperation. "Mr. Hunt, do you think I'm a kid studying in kindergarten? Why don't you just give me a big star sticker as a reward?""I'll do it next time," he answered.Summer held her phone in one hand as she opened the box with another. When she saw the contents of the box, the smile on her face stiffened.In the box was a tiny, pink crystal pig."Summer, I secretly took a peek at the gift Anthony gave you just now. It's so adorable."A memory of an identical little pig surfaced in her mind."Where did you get this?" she asked."Do you like it?" Mason asked back."Where did you get it?" Summer emphasized again.It was the second time—the coming-of-age necklace and this crystal pig.Why were the things Mason was giving her t

Summer changed into her school uniform and took the pills that Mason had left for her. After that, she took the little crystal pig out of the box and put it into her pencil case. Just like that, the frustration she felt in the morning vanished.Before heading to class, she gave Phoebe a call."Ms. Hartford, so you still remember me?" Phoebe immediately grumbled when she answered."How could I ever forget my dearest Phoebe?" Summer said sweetly. "If you're coming over to bring me cake today, could you also grab the velvet box in my room? It's in the bottom right drawer of my desk cabinet." "Bring you cake? Ms. Hartford, are you craving cake?" Phoebe asked.Summer's smile stiffened. "No, but don't you…"Before she could finish, she suddenly understood something. Surely Phoebe wouldn't have asked that question if she sent Summer cake every day."I what?" Phoebe asked."It's nothing. I just wanted to ask if anyone's been sending me cake from the house," Summer asked."Mrs. Hart

At first, no one else had noticed. But the moment Summer mentioned Anthony's collar, everyone's attention shifted to it."Summer, you girls wouldn't understand. Anthony's just been marked by his girlfriend!" a male classmate shouted.The entire class erupted into teasing laughter.Anthony's face turned into an embarrassing shade of purple. His face was naturally long and thin, so it made him look like a wilted eggplant.He forced out a smile and explained, "No. I just have some allergies. Since when did I have a girlfriend?"The students only laughed louder.After that, Summer, the instigator, returned to her usual indifferent expression after that remark. She slowly pulled out her practice papers to work on them.Anthony's gaze lingered on her for a long time, but Summer didn't even bother looking up at him.Instead, it was Rose who kept staring at him intently.Anthony felt incredibly disgusted.Last night, he had been dragged to Rose's apartment and forced into intimacy. A

Summer's thoughts were going everywhere.She was already certain that the cakes were from Mason. But how did he know that she liked chestnut cakes? As far as she remembered, only Phoebe and Rose knew about it. Even Henry and her parents were clueless about it.Phoebe didn't know Mason, and there was definitely no way Rose had a chance to tell him.So, where did Mason find out about it?Phoebe was worried she would disturb Summer's afternoon rest, so she didn't stay long and left.Lying on her bed, Summer held the starry necklace between her fingers. "Mason, oh, Mason, just how many things have you done for me that I don't know about?"Then, she let out a heavy sigh and clutched the necklace tightly in her palm.She owed Mason her life—no, she owed him much more than that. With such a bond between them, it was foolish of her to have thought that she would be able to avoid that dangerous man.Whatever. Summer decided she would just take things as they came.…Time flew by.Aft

Rose was slowly packing her things nearby.The gossiping students quickly noticed her and immediately shifted their attention. "Rose, what do you think about Summer and Anthony?"She shook her head. "I don't know. But Anthony did come over to our house to tutor us before, and he was pretty close to her. They even went out late at night to look at roses together…""A man and a woman looking at roses in the middle of the night? Please! They were probably…"The discussions in the classroom grew more and more out of hand.Rose quietly listened, occasionally chiming in. She made it look like she was trying to defend Summer, but everything she said implied that Summer and Anthony had a suggestive relationship.…By the time Summer got home, Phoebe had already prepared a delicious meal for her.Phoebe informed, "Mr. Hartford Senior and your parents won't be home for dinner tonight, but they've cleared their schedules for the next two days to spend time with you.When she saw Summer s

Summer looked at the woman. She wasn't one to go around stirring up trouble, but she wasn't afraid to fight back when trouble came knocking, either."And who are you?" she asked."Summer, this is Mrs. Hunt of Royal Financial Group," Janice gently introduced the woman.Summer's heart sank for a moment.There was only one person in the Royal Financial Group who could be called Mrs. Hunt. It was Chandler's mother, Rosanna Moon. No wonder Rosanna had been looking at Summer like she wanted to shoot her. It all made sense now.Summer had a look of surprise on her face as she looked at Phoebe. "Mrs. Hunt of Royal Financial Group? Has Mason gotten married? Why didn't I hear about it?"At that moment, the air in the room turned icy cold.Her past life had taught Summer that sometimes, there was no use acting weak or humble. This was precisely one of those situations.Chandler's limbs were broken, but those on his side were likely too scared to go against Mason. Otherwise, there would

Janice supposed that it was revenge for Chandler.Just thinking about Chandler made her heart flare up in anger again.She had been searching everywhere for him, but it seemed like Summer had done something behind the scenes. It felt like Chandler had just disappeared into thin air. It had already been half a month, but she hadn't been able to find a single piece of news.Rosanna had never been humiliated like this before. She completely lost her mind as she shrieked, "You little bitch! I swear I'll tear that lying mouth of yours apart!"As she said that, she shoved aside her men and kicked off her heels, charging barefoot at Summer.Summer pushed Phoebe away, but she didn't move out of the way herself. She waited until Rosanna was just a step away before she spoke in a calm tone, "Mrs. Hunt, you'd better think this through. Do you think you can afford to lay a hand on me?"Rosanna had lifted her hand high in the air, but she froze when she heard Summer's words. "Are you threaten
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 160
Rosanna never expected Summer to suddenly change into a different person. Just moments ago, Summer only seemed like a sharp-tongued girl. Yet, the next moment, Rosanna felt like she saw a shadow of Mason behind her."That's all I have to say. If you like this dress, Mrs. Hunt, you can have it. Phoebe, let's go shop somewhere else," Summer said.The moment Summer took a step back, she turned back into that lively, innocent girl from before. As she brushed past Janice, she even said, "Good luck with your SATs.""You, too." Janice was in a complete stupor.She had just been dreaming about Rosanna putting Summer in her place right here. Yet, the untouchable and dominant Rosanna seemed to have been put in her place by Summer instead.How was that possible?Then, Janice suddenly recalled what Rose told her before. Summer had managed to latch onto someone more powerful, which was why she had discarded Chandler so ruthlessly.Could it be…Could the person backing her be the rumored M

"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

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
