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

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

"You probably don't know of Mrs. Hunt's methods. A few years ago, a friend of mine knew a young girl who was sent to work at her estate. The girl didn't even last six months before she was dead," Phoebe said with a face full of worry.Summer frowned slightly. "Dead?""Yes. The Hunt family has always been terrifying, but people seem to have forgotten about them in the past few years because of Mason's notorious reputation. Mrs. Hunt's husband is a pervert who regularly harasses the women who work at their home," Phoebe started.She continued, "Mrs. Hunt never blames her husband for it. Any time something like that happens, the one affected is always those female workers. The girl I mentioned just now died because of this."After a moment, Phoebe shook her head. "She really died such a horrible death."Summer lowered her head. "I'm not some little girl. If she insists on making trouble, the one who dies won't be me."Phoebe was stunned for a moment, not making out the latter part o

"Do you remember the suggestion you gave me last time?" Henry asked."You mean to look into the trouble caused by those people again?" Summer replied.Henry nodded. "Yes.""Did you find anything?" Summer asked."Yes," Henry lowered his gaze. For a moment, it seemed to Summer like Henry had aged a few years.Her heart ached. She knew Henry had probably called her over because he had uncovered the mastermind behind the scenes. It also meant that he had probably discovered the traitors beside him.Henry had trained those two with care. He would definitely feel disappointed that they betrayed him.But it was just a momentary pain. Getting rid of the rot now was still better than being consumed by it in the future.Henry took off his glasses and asked tiredly, "Do you still remember Mr. Law and Mr. Yard, who gave you a house for your birthday two years ago?""I do." Summer nodded.He let out a heavy sigh. "The two of them came from very poor families. I sponsored their studies e

Summer asked pitifully, "Grandpa, is this going to be a big problem? Should I just go and apologize?""Did she provoke you first?" Henry asked.Summer nodded vigorously. "Yes! She was the one who started it!""Then, you did nothing wrong. There's no need to apologize," Henry said decisively."I know I did nothing wrong, but what if she tries to take revenge on Hartford Group?" Summer mumbled."That's for me to worry about. She's not some major figure in Royal Financial Group. She might be able to bully the weak, but she doesn't have the power to touch me so easily," Henry said arrogantly.Summer beamed. "That's great! But sometimes, it's better to offend a nobleman than a petty person. I feel like Mrs. Hunt is incredibly petty. You need to be careful, Grandpa.""Yes." Henry nodded. Then, for some reason, he slammed his hand on the desk violently, making Summer jump in fright."Once again, it's Mason Hunt's fault!" Henry exclaimed.Summer was exasperated. "How is this his fault
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 164
Henry blurted out in a panic, "Of course not! Why would I suddenly suspect you're in a relationship out of nowhere? What a wild imagination you have! Now go! I still need to work. Go to bed.""Oh." Summer held back her laughter. "Then, good night, Grandpa.""Hurry up and go." Summer was chased out of the room as she subconsciously touched the necklace on her neck. When she got back to her room, she took the necklace off.Poking at the pendant, she muttered, "Mason, you have to make sure you survive. Your vicious aunt already has her eyes on me because of you. If you die, I'll have to deal with her myself…"After she said that, she flopped onto her bed with her phone right beside her.Logically, Summer knew she should tell Mason about what happened today since it was related to him. But Mason wasn't the sort of person who would suddenly disappear for no reason.Couple that with Rosanna's arrogant attitude and what Henry said just now…Summer vaguely felt that Mason might really

Summer rubbed her temples. "Then, should I be thanking you for the reminder?""No need for that. Just come back soon," Mason replied in a serious tone.Summer could picture Mason's expression as he spoke. Suddenly, she was amused."Fine," she replied."Remember to get something to eat," Mason reminded.Summer's smile vanished immediately as she asked in a stern tone, "Did you skip lunch?""I didn't have an appetite since I was alone," Mason replied, sounding like he'd been wronged.Summer was rendered speechless.Saul stood not far away and watched her. For some reason, he started to have a feeling of unease.After a moment, she hung up and walked toward him.He smiled at her. "Someone from home?"Summer shook her head. "No. You can just leave me here. We'll see each other at the company in the future."Sault hesitated for a moment before he nodded. "Alright."Summer then jogged away. It was obvious she was in a hurry.Saul stood in place, watching as she left. After she

"You're leaving already?" Saul stood up."Is there anything else?" Summer looked at him.Saul hesitated, not knowing whether to speak or not.But Lionel, with his usual straightforward attitude, said, "It's actually Saul's birthday today. He probably just wants to invite you to his birthday party."Summer was caught off guard by that. "It's your birthday? I'm so sorry. I had no idea. I didn't even prepare a gift for you."Saul shook his head. "It's fine. I don't really celebrate my birthdays. If you have things to take care of at home, then go ahead. I have no plans this afternoon, so I can send you back.""There's no need. How could I let the birthday boy send me home?" Summer rejected him in a hurry.She had Mason hidden in her apartment, so there was no way she could bring anyone nearby."Then, I'll just walk you to the parking garage," said Saul, who was already used to being turned down by Summer."Alright, then…" Summer replied.They walked side by side toward the parki

Now, in that tiny apartment, Mason actually felt it was incredibly empty.He sat down and tried to focus on some documents. After what felt like a long time, he checked his phone, only to notice that only ten minutes had passed, leaving him speechless.…Summer arrived at the meeting place ten minutes early. She didn't expect Saul and Lionel to already be there."Hey, I haven't seen you in so long!" Lionel grinned like a fool and stood up when he saw Summer.Summer didn't know what to say to that."Traffic wasn't bad?" Saul pulled out a seat for Summer.Summer nodded. "It was quite smooth. I didn't expect the two of you to be here so early.""Saul told me we were treating you to a meal today, so I got up bright and early." Lionel beamed."I'm so sorry. I've been really busy lately," Summer said apologetically.Saul poured her some coffee. "It's alright. We haven't ordered anything yet, so take a look and pick what you want."Summer didn't waste time ordering a few dishes.A

"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
