The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 18
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
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 22
There were people both inside and outside the classroom, but it was completely silent.Then, Summer took out her phone and started a timer.Annie's face was covered in rotten fruit peels and juice. She had never smelled so bad before, and she kept having the urge to throw up. However, she couldn't even be bothered to clean herself up. Turning around, she looked at the others. "What are you standing around for? I didn't do this on my own!"The others didn't say a word.Summer pretended she never saw their conflict. Taking out a textbook from her bag, she began flipping through it expressionlessly.In just a few minutes, the whole world seemed to have turned upside down. The person who was usually the victim was sitting at the side with a cold and emotionless demeanor. Meanwhile, the bullies were surrounded by trash as they hurled insults at each other.Someone commented, "Wow! Summer's retaliation really is something!""She's so cool!" someone else agreed.A student said, "I'v

"Sorry, sir. I really wasn't being respectful, was I?" Summer tapped the desk lightly with her slender fingers. "It's a very serious offense. Perhaps you should… call my parents."As soon as Summer said that, Ivan froze.Even students in the elite schools weren't so arrogant that they would actually tell their teachers to call their parents."There's not much going on at home these days, and my elders should be free to come over. Shall I make the call for you?" Summer asked.Ivan's face instantly turned pale.Getting the elders of the Hartford family here would be the death of him. As far as he knew, Summer never told her family about getting bullied at school. If her family came over right now, the cat would be let out of the bag."It's not that serious," Ivan said, trying to gloss it over."Oh." Summer raised an eyebrow. "Then, we'll leave it for when you feel it's serious enough, Mr. Sutton."Ivan's face turned ashen.In the final three minutes, the rich young ladies did ev

News of Summer's change in behavior quickly spread throughout the school. Everywhere she went, gazes would follow her.She pretended she didn't notice it.When she arrived at the entrance of the teacher's office, she heard the teachers talking about her as well. "This is too much! How could she shove a classmate's head into a pile of trash? That's inhumane! These rich kids would do the worst of things just because they come from powerful backgrounds!"Summer scoffed.She had simply shoved Annie's head into the pile of trash Annie had created. This was nothing compared to the bullying Annie had done to her. But these teachers were feeling bad for the students now?Summer lifted her hand and knocked on the door.The voices in the teacher's office fell silent.It was slightly disappointing, but because of her connection to Hartford Group, those people would never dare express their hatred toward her. At the very least, this was the situation right now.Her simple retaliation t
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 25
Normally, in a school where they had so many students coming from rich, prominent families, the teachers would rarely treat their students like this. Yet, why were they treating Summer like that?It was because they knew that Summer was meek and docile. She would not tell her parents about what happened at school.These teachers were not afraid of the students. Instead, they were wary of the rich, prominent families that these students belonged to."Did I say something wrong, Mr. Sutton?" Summer looked Ivan straight in the eye."Are you saying that all of Annie's misdeeds, such as dumping trash all over my desk, tearing my textbooks and homework, and forcing me to drink dirty water, are just playful banter? On the other hand, I'm bullying her by making her clean up the mess she made on my desk?""You!" Ivan could not come up with a rebuttal to Summer's question."Do the rest of you share the same opinion as Mr. Sutton, too?" Summer's gaze drifted across the other teachers inside

Robin looked utterly stunned. "When did that happen?""It's just been a few months. It's still a little baby," Summer said."You're already meant to inherit the family's company anyway. It's good to get some practice in now." Robin thought that it would just be a small studio or something like that."This is a secret. Just like with Mason, it's absolutely top secret. You can't tell Grandpa, Dad, or Mom," Summer stated.Robin had never kept so many secrets in his life. "I understand.""Let's go." Summer opened the car door and hopped out happily.Robin followed closely behind her, scanning the surroundings cautiously.They entered the elevator. Inside, Robin immediately noticed the dazzling advertisement for Eridanus. So, that terrifying game developer was located here, too. He had seen both Henry and Luke playing After School and had secretly downloaded it himself to try. Him playing that game was the very definition of a tough guy getting scared.The elevator quickly reach

Mason chuckled and said, "Tomorrow morning. I guarantee you'll be able to slip out."Summer never doubted anything he said. He always managed to do whatever he promised. She just wondered how he would pull it off.…The next morning, Summer was in the CEO's office at Hartford Group, editing a script when Luke rushed in. "Dad! Royal Financial Group just sent us an invitation. They want to collaborate with us on their bioengineering project!"Summer had heard a little about this project before. She didn't know much about the field, but it sounded amazing. And Royal Financial Group was the only one with that technology.Over the past year, many companies had tried to partner with Royal Financial Group, but they had all been rejected."What's the meaning of this?" Henry froze for a moment before he frowned. "Why does this reek so much of a scheme to take advantage of us?"Summer almost burst out laughing.So, that was the method Mason talked about yesterday that would guarantee s

The man with the scar said, "You should be grateful that lady isn't the ruthless type. Otherwise, you'd already be shark food.""Summer!" Rosanna screamed at the top of her lungs.Summer wasn't actually being kind. She just knew that Rosanna would suffer far more being alive than just letting her die like that.The man said, "But since you caused Mr. Rourke to lose a lot of money before and even almost got him on Mason's bad side this time, you'll be soaking here until this time tomorrow night as punishment. Whether you survive or not is up to God's will."After he spoke, he waved his hand. "Let's go have a drink.""No! Don't go!" Rosanna had been born into wealth and privilege. She'd never been in such a terrifying place before.At that moment, she was overwhelmed with fear.The sea was so deep. Who knew what kind of creatures were lurking inside?And they had even mentioned sharks just now. Could there be sharks here?Just the thought alone scared her to death.Unfortunatel

The men in the van looked at each other, then burst out laughing. One of them pulled out a dagger and tapped Rosanna's face twice with the flat side.Rosanna nearly wet herself in fear."Vincent? What a coincidence! We're here on his orders!"Rosanna froze. Then she asked, "So, you're taking me to see Summer?""You'll know when we get there!"The man didn't say anything else. They tied her up with rope and pulled a black sack over her head.Rosanna's heart was pounding. Since they were working for Vincent, they probably wouldn't hurt her, right?But something about the way they looked at her didn't feel right.The van bumped along the road. After some amount of time, just as Rosanna was about to fall asleep, the vehicle finally came to a stop.She vaguely heard the sound of waves crashing nearby. Then, they shoved her out of the car. As she walked forward, two of the men behind her exchanged glances and chuckled. "It's the first time I've seen an abduction victim so cooperat

Just as Jane entered the room, there was a sudden thunderclap, startling Victoria awake."Mom, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Jane rushed over.Victoria's face was pale, but she shook her head. "Why are you here? Where's Rosanna? Is she slacking off again?"Jane looked troubled. "She still hasn't recovered from her foot injury. She's probably just too tired. It's alright. I'm here, aren't I? If you need anything, I'll take care of you. I've gotten used to it these past few days anyway."Victoria looked even more displeased. "When I could still control Mason, every one of my kids and grandkids clung to me like treasure. Now that I can't rein him in anymore, they all ran off so quickly! They only came to visit me here to see how close I am to dying so they can split up my inheritance!""Mom, it's not like that. Everyone's just been busy lately. They all really care about you," Jane said gently.Victoria snapped. "Aren't you busy, too? Rosanna's already been kicked out of th

Robin was right there, but Summer was already setting up their next date."Alright." Mason nodded.Summer was then promptly shoved into the car by Robin.The car sped off, and Mason stood there, watching.Kyle asked softly, "So, the relationship is basically mostly revealed to the Hartford household, right? It's only Mr. Hartford and Mr. Hartford Senior who don't know yet."Mason nodded. "More or less.""Didn't Mr. Hartford say last time that he wanted to treat you to a meal? Now that you've got over a week here, why don't we arrange that dinner?" Kyle suggested.He'd seen it on Mason's schedule and remembered it."Yes." Mason nodded.Kristen didn't seem hostile toward him. Robin appeared to be completely under Summer's thumb now, so he was firmly on their side. Henry was the hardest one to deal with.So, Mason felt like he should start with his future father-in-law first. He should build the relationship slowly, and the rest would come easier.Kyle couldn't help but sigh in

When Vincent's daughter was just seven years old, she was killed in the streets by an enemy seeking revenge. After that, Vincent fathered several more children with different women, but every one of them was a boy.He never got to have another daughter.Back when Summer had challenged him just now, Vincent had been so furious that he wanted to chop her into pieces.But at that moment, watching the sun set and Summer's figure grow smaller in the distance, Vincent suddenly thought of his daughter.He felt that if his little girl were still alive and had grown up to Summer's age, she would've probably been just like her. She would have been fearless and fierce, not scared of anyone or anything."You heard what she said just now." Vincent looked at the sunflowers in his hand.If his daughter were alive, she would probably buy him flowers, too. When she was young, he would bring her to the park, and she used to pick wildflowers and give them to him."I heard.""Then, get it done. On

Summer hopped off the table. "Forget it. I'm done talking to him. Mason. Let's go.""Ms. Hartford!" Vincent was stunned for a moment, then quickly tried to stop them.Mason shot him a cold look, and Vincent froze in place. "You really think she came all the way here without knowing anything? Vincent, you're an old hand in this game. Summer kindly gave you a way out, but you refused it. So now, we'll have to do things our way."Vincent stomped his foot in frustration. "What does this have to do with me anyway? It's your aunt who's buzzing around my ear every day!"In the end, Vincent couldn't hold it in anymore. "Fine! I admit it! What do you want me to do for you to let this go?"Summer looked exasperated. "You should've admitted it from the start. It would have saved everyone a lot of breath. I'm not going to do anything to you. I just have one request."Vincent frowned at her.When she told him the request, he looked completely bewildered. Then, he smiled and looked at Mason.

Vincent had known who Mason was for a long time. Several of his former bitter rivals from other territories had fallen into Mason's hands over the years.Vincent had essentially benefitted from the fallout, taking advantage of the situation by scooping up the profits.He also formed a certain impression of Mason. In short, it was better to make less money than to get tangled up with Mason.Unfortunately, the city had developed rapidly in recent years, and his constant caution had left him unable to sink his teeth into any real profits.Then, he crossed paths with Rosanna by chance.At the time, Rosanna and Aspen held immense influence, and Mason still showed them respect. Within Royal Financial Group, Aspen and Rosanna still held a lot of sway.Vincent had always been proud of his caution. After observing things for half a year, he finally established some secret dealings with Rosanna.Although it was far from a business. In truth, Rosanna simply funneled some of Royal Financial
