"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

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

"You little rascal!" The displeasure on Henry's face disappeared at that moment.The frustration Summer had felt when she had woken up that morning was completely gone. She picked up her spoon and happily ate the cake.The cake that day was a savory salted chestnut cake. It was unique and absolutely delicious."Have you thought about school?" Kristen poured her a glass of milk.Moments like this between Summer and Kristen felt so natural now. It wasn't like in the past, where they barely even spoke when they met."I've thought about it. I'll go to Bellton College. It's a top school, and it's close to home!" Summer nodded.Kristen and Henry exchanged a glance. Bellton wasn't easy to get into."Summer, if you really get into Bellton, I'll give you anything you want," Henry said earnestly."Your dad and I will grant you one wish, too," Kristen added."That's a promise!" Summer said.…In the blink of an eye, the two-day break was over. A day before the exams, Lindsey invited Su

Summer had only recently been reborn, so she didn't have that much of a social circle. There were only a few people she could think of who would go out of their way to send her something like that.Of those people, they would probably all have given it to her personally, except for a certain someone who had recently disappeared.Summer even found a small card from inside the bag. On it, the graceful handwriting read, "Victory in the last battle.""Ms. Hartford, what is that?" From the front seat, Robin asked when he saw Summer looking at the card in a daze."A card," Summer said before she put it in the bag.If Mason was sending this to her now, it probably meant he was safe. She finally felt a little more at ease.…For the next three days, the whole Hartford family seemed to be in battle mode. Early in the morning, the kitchen was already preparing all sorts of nutritious breakfasts. Right after Summer finished eating, the whole family would send her to the exam venue.They

The voices in the room grew louder."You can definitely search me, but before that, I just need to ask. Why did you come straight for me?" Summer asked calmly. She was perfectly composed and did not show a hint of impatience."Didn't I say that earlier? Someone reported you! They claimed there was something off with your stationery and even your hairpin. Hand them over for inspection," Samuel said."Summer, Mr. Hartford Senior dotes on you so much. Even if you didn't do well, he wouldn't say anything, and you'd still inherit Hartford Group. "Why would you do something like that? It's still not too late to admit it to the teachers. At least you can salvage some of the family's reputation!" Rose fanned the flames.At that moment, the students from other schools started to gossip among themselves."So that's the Hartford heiress? Wasn't she supposed to be ugly? She must have had plastic surgery to look so different now.""Plastic surgery is nothing. I was thinking of getting some
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 168
Summer didn't have a single pocket on her. She had just finished the exam and hadn't even left her seat, so how could she have hidden anything she had with her?"Check the tables and chairs," Samuel said.The other teachers immediately flipped over Summer's desk and chair, but there was still nothing to be found.Janice frowned and said, "What about her ruler or her compass? Sir, please check everything carefully again. You can't show favoritism to her just because she's the heiress of Hartford Group!""If you don't believe it, why don't you check it for yourself?" Samuel snapped."Sir, calm down. But Rose did have a point just now. Since someone reported this, there has to be some truth to it. Maybe they just mistook me for another person. It could be someone else who's cheating here," Summer said earnestly."Are you kidding? Why are you trying to drag the rest of us down with you?""That's right! I didn't cheat!""What's going on…"Janice was smart. She realized that the thi
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 169
Janice started to panic. "I didn't cheat. Are you going to search me without any evidence? Just because Summer suspected me?"Summer feigned confusion and asked, "Janice, didn't you urge me to cooperate with the teachers just now? So, I can be suspected, but you can't? As long as you didn't cheat, then nothing would happen anyway. Are you scared?"Janice clenched her teeth as she eyed her stationery.Her stationery was all different from what Summer had. The brand was different, and even the designs were different. It was definitely not the ones she had prepared to sabotage Summer.The hairpins were even less of a worry. They were personal items that no one could ever have swapped.On top of that, she had always appeared nice toward Summer. There was no way Summer would have framed her.Just as she was mentally preparing herself, Samuel got impatient. He went over and snatched her pencil case."What are you doing?" Janice instantly shouted."Don't you have a flight to catch? Le

"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
