The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 181
Summer chose Kristen's breakout song. Back then, Kristen had been an all-rounder who excelled in acting, singing, and dancing.The music started. Everyone else took out their phones to record Summer embarrassing herself.Yet, once the intro music came to an end, a clear, sweet voice started to sing.Everyone was stunned."This has to be fake, right? Was it prerecorded?""I thought Summer couldn't sing?""Damn! Her singing is actually this nice?"The audience was buzzing in shock.Rose happened to come back at that moment as well. When she heard Summer singing, her expression instantly soured."Rose, didn't you say Summer was a terrible singer? How could this be terrible? She's good enough to take part in a singing competition.""I don't know, either… She was really bad before. Maybe she found a teacher…" Rose was embarrassed.But very quickly, she turned that humiliation to anger as she saw Anthony. Anthony was standing at a corner with the teachers, watching Summer sing.

Summer was stunned for a moment. "How did you know I just sang?"Lindsey glanced at her.Summer gestured slightly before she got up and walked to the side."Mason, did you have someone stalk me?" she asked.Mason chuckled. "Don't make me sound so creepy. Just walk forward a bit more."Summer was speechless. If she continued walking forward, she would be in a small grove of trees."Don't tell me you're among those trees," she said."Why don't you come find out?" he replied."Mason, you're really…" Summer let out a long sigh. "You disappeared for so many days, and now you just suddenly pop up again, asking me to play hide-and-seek with you in this strange forest in the middle of the night?"Mason laughed. "I set up some little lights along the way. Or do you want me to go over to you instead? Aren't you afraid your classmates will freak out?"Summer had nothing to say to that. She turned back to look at all the students who were busy partying. It seemed like no one noticed her.

Mason's brows furrowed."Listen to me!" Summer said with a serious expression.Mason handed her phone to her and asked, "Is Robin around?"Summer nodded. "He is. I'm going to call him over right now."Mason knew how capable Robin was. "Alright. I'll stay hidden until I see him arrive. Then, I'll leave."After a brief pause, he gently reached out and adjusted her messy hair. "I'm sorry. I've caused you trouble again."Summer said earnestly, "You actually helped me this time. If you hadn't called me over, she might have waited for me to fall asleep at night and attacked me in my tent."Just thinking about it caused Mason to shiver."Just go." Summer looked at Mason and tried to shoot him a reassuring look.Mason was still uneasy, but he left in the end.After a moment, Robin arrived."Ms. Hartford, why are you running around in the middle of nowhere?" he asked sternly."Mr. Cohen, this person tried to kill me," Summer said bluntly.Robin stared in shock at the unconscious Ja

"How do you feel? Any better?" Anthony asked.Summer pursed her lips and looked at him.He couldn't even hide his greed at this point. It was practically oozing out of his eyes. "I'm still a little shaken," she answered.Anthony was elated. "Then, have one more.""Okay. Thank you, Anthony," Summer said as she accepted another glass from him.She slowly drank the whole glass. Then, she put the glass back on the table. "Anthony, you should go have fun with everyone else. I'm not feeling very well. I think I'll head back to my tent and rest.""I'll walk you there." Anthony immediately moved to support her.Summer avoided his hands. "There's no need. It wouldn't look good if anyone saw. Don't worry. My family's bodyguards are nearby. I won't be in danger."Anthony felt his heart stop for a moment.The bodyguards were nearby? Didn't that mean he would easily get caught later?It seemed like he would need to move carefully. The goal for the night was to make it so that things wer

Anthony frowned slightly as he glanced toward the campsite.He was definitely feeling very impatient. "That's true. If I wait until late at night, people might be asleep, but the tents aren't far from each other. Anyone could hear the noise, so it might actually be better to go now."Rose let out a cold laugh. "Anthony, just how much noise are you planning to make? Let me warn you. Summer has bodyguards with her.""You…" Anthony was speechless for a moment at Rose's words.Then, he said, "I know you're feeling jealous. Don't worry. I'll make it up to you over the summer holidays."Rose glanced at him. She had already lost all her feelings toward Anthony, but hearing him say that still made her happy.What was the point of Summer trying so hard to seduce Anthony? In the end, Anthony still had to keep Rose happy."Alright. Just go." Rose softened her tone slightly.Anthony nodded before he looked for the supervising teacher. He said he wasn't feeling well and headed straight to t

"Oh, my God! Are the two of you really hooking up?""Holy crap! How desperate can you be? We're out in the wilderness, and there are so many other students around. Couldn't you show a little bit more decency? How disgusting!"Anthony hurriedly tried to explain himself, "No, it's not like that! We just drank a little last night… It's not her fault. I…""What are you all doing in front of my tent?" Just as Anthony seemed ready to defend Summer with all his might, Summer's voice was heard behind the crowd.The air seemed to freeze instantly.Everyone turned to look at Summer.In the tent, Anthony was stunned as he turned to look at the person he spent the night with.The most interesting expression was Rose's. It looked like she had been struck by lightning.Tracy, the gossip queen, asked, "Summer, why are you here? Wait! If you're here, then who's inside the tent with Anthony?"Summer looked at Lindsey in confusion. "What? I don't know. I'm afraid of the dark, so I spent the nig

Rose was so startled by Summer's intimidating approach that she took two steps back."I know you have a good relationship with Janice, but that doesn't mean you can try to smear me just to protect her. Just ask everyone else if they think that accusation even makes sense," Summer said.The other students agreed."That's true. How amazing must Summer be if she could force two unwilling people into the same tent together and sleep together for a whole night?""Rose, this is getting ridiculous.""Even if you want to frame someone, this really isn't the way…"Rose denied it loudly, "She's lying! I don't even know Janice! Everyone, just think about it. They did the deed in camp, right inside Summer's tent. Does that even make sense?"Tracy shot back, "Didn't Anthony explain it earlier? They drank too much. In the first place, shouldn't Janice be locked up at home right now? How did she suddenly show up here? Are you trying to say that Summer kidnapped her?"Rose didn't know what to

"This isn't the time to argue about this. We should call the police first," one of the teachers said."No! We can't call the police! I didn't force her!" After Anthony recovered from his panic, he quickly regained his shamelessness.If this was reported to the police, his whole future would be ruined."You're lying!" Janice lunged forward and tried to hit Anthony, but the teachers stopped her."The campsite isn't that big. If you really fought back, someone would have heard it," Anthony said slowly.Janice was panting heavily as she constantly glanced at Summer.Summer seemed perfectly calm. In the end, no matter how ugly this situation became, it had nothing to do with her. One of them had drugged her to force themselves on her, which was a crime. Another tried to kill her, which was also a crime.Even if they wanted to drag her down with them by spilling the beans on their crimes, all it would do was prove that they wanted to harm Summer. There was no proof that Summer had o

"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
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 385
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
