The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 187
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

It was either Mason had been attacked by someone in the apartment, or he was injured and hiding inside.Summer took a deep breath.Even without considering her past life, Mason had already saved her twice. There was no way she could just turn a blind eye to this situation.She clenched her teeth and put down the things in her hands. Then, she pulled out her self-defense tools from her bag and headed inside."Mason?" She fumbled around but couldn't find the light switch. So, she was forced to use the flashlight on her phone as she shouted out Mason's name.She had just taken two steps when she saw someone collapsed on the living room couch.Summer's heart skipped a beat. She hurried over, and after she saw who it was, her heart stopped."Mason!" she shouted as she checked for any signs of life.Mason was breathing, and his heart was still beating, but it was weak."Mason, can you hear me?" Summer called out to him.After a moment, Mason slowly opened his eyes.Summer almost c

Summer had only disliked Rosanna before this, but at that moment, there was no one she hated more.There were two gunshot wounds on Mason. One was near his left chest, close to the collarbone, and one was on his back.Time slowly passed by.Under Mason's instructions, it took several hours for Summer to extract the bullets from the wounds before she stitched them up."Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?" She helped him lie down on the bed.Mason shook his head. "There's no need. I'll be fine after I get some sleep.""Mason…" Summer felt a bit helpless. Mason seemed a bit dazed as he gently held her hand. "Don't worry. This will be the last time, I promise."After Mason said that, he fell fast asleep.Summer stayed by his side, not even daring to close her eyes. She was worried she would wake up to find him dead if she fell asleep.Mason hadn't given her any instructions before he fell asleep.Summer didn't dare to contact Kyle either, since she didn't know wh

"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

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
