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
"I suddenly figured something out." Summer smiled.That smile gave Rose and Anthony goosebumps.Summer said, "Back when you were in the manor, I always thought you two had something going on. Rose, could you have planned to have Anthony force himself on me so he can marry into a rich family?"She then frowned. "So, when you didn't manage to get your hands on me last night, you decided to switch to the heiress of Power Construction instead?"After that, she covered her mouth in shock. "If that's true, then you two are really terrifying!"Rose looked at Summer with eyes that were red with rage.Summer knew. Summer actually knew about the plan.Janice's mind was in complete chaos at that moment. She didn't know who to believe at all.Summer seemed like she didn't remember that Janice had tried to kill her the night before. But Janice clearly remembered…At that moment, Robin got a call. "Ms. Hartford, Mr. and Mrs. Hartford are already waiting at the foot of the mountain. I told t
"Janice, you can't hit people!" A teacher tugged on Janice's arm half-heartedly.Janice grabbed the lead teacher's sleeve. "Is what Summer said true? Is Chandler a part of Royal Financial Group?"The teacher nodded. "Yes. He returned to the country by himself and secretly enrolled in school. It angered Mr. Hunt, which is why Mr. Hunt took him away.""So, it wasn't because of Summer?" Janice felt like her entire world was crumbling down."Of course not."Suddenly, a wave of dizziness hit Janice. Along with what happened last night with Anthony, her body was pushed to the brink. The emotional shock got to her and caused her to collapse on the spot.Anthony watched everything unfold right in front of his eyes. He had thought he was the luckiest person alive at the start, but his dream had completely crumbled before it could even begin.However, Anthony quickly made another decision.As far as he knew, the Sullivan family that owned Power Construction came from a long line of schol
"What is it?" Kristen asked."Well, I just graduated, right? I want to go on a graduation trip," Summer said."Of course you can. I've already picked out a few places and had people plan out everything," Luke replied.Summer waved it off. "I don't want to go overseas. Now that I'm becoming an adult, I want to travel alone." "Definitely not," Luke and Kristen said at the same time.Summer looked at Luke and pouted. "Do you still think I'm a baby?"Kristen and Luke had conflicted expressions on their faces."I'll be going to college in fall. It might not be too far away, but I won't be able to stay at home, either. Are you really going to move near my campus with me?" Summer asked."Summer, there's just been too many horrible things happening lately," Luke said seriously.Summer replied in earnest, "I'll have to face the world on my own eventually. I can already do that now.""We understand. Your dad and I will discuss this," Kristen said after a moment of silence."You two a
"Sir, could you please help me to pack this up?" Summer asked the farm owner."Summer, we've already made some for Grandpa," Luke said."I know," she mumbled vaguely but still packed the crayfish in the end.On the way back, Luke insisted on taking the fruits and vegetables they harvested home. Since the car was too small to fit everything in, he rented a small farm truck from the owner, and they made their grand return."I didn't expect farm life to be this fun," Luke said. He had abandoned all of his usual refined demeanor and gone all out on the farm. His clothes were soaked, so he was just wearing a simple white T-shirt and shorts that he bought at the farm. He looked like a completely different person."We should bring Grandpa with us next time," Summer said with a smile.She had gone back in time for so long, but this was probably her happiest day. She had never seen Kristen and Luke so happy before. Their happiness amplified her own many times over.By the time the thre
"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
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
