The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 193
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

Summer tried a sip of the soup, and it was delicious."Oh, my God! Am I actually a cooking genius?" she mumbled to herself."Did you make this?" Mason suddenly said from behind her.Summer jumped in fright. "Are you trying to die? Who said you could get up?""I injured my arm, not my leg." His face was incredibly pale. He had always been coldly attractive, but now, he seemed broken as well. Anyone would sympathize with him if they looked at him."I'm hungry," Mason suddenly called out pitifully before Summer could force him back to his room.She didn't know how to respond to that.After a moment, the two were sitting at the dining table."Are you sure you don't need to lie down?" Summer asked.Mason shook his head. After that, he looked at the chicken soup with an upset expression. "How am I supposed to drink this? I can't raise my hand."Summer was speechless. Who would have thought that Mason was such a master at playing the victim?"Mr. Hunt, allow me to serve you!" Summe

Summer saw Mason's expression and had to hold back her laughter. "Mr. Hunt, drink your soup first. I'm going to make my lunch."With that, she returned to the kitchen and brought over a bag of chips. After that, she took out the crayfish from the fridge and reheated it. A moment later, she had a delicious-looking meal in front of her.Mason frowned slightly. "Where did you get that from?"She glanced at him with a look of regret. "I caught them at a farm with my parents yesterday. I was planning on bringing this over to thank you for saving me, but there's no way you can eat them right now.""You made this?" Mason asked.Summer peeled a crayfish, dipped it in sauce, and put it on a chip before she put it in her mouth. It tasted so good that she stomped her feet. "Yup, it tastes amazing!""I…" Mason tried to say something."You're only allowed to drink soup. Before your wounds get better, these things have nothing to do with you," Summer declared.Mason looked visibly unhappy.

"That's good." Mason nodded.He had lost a lot of blood, so he started feeling exhausted after being awake for a while.When Summer saw how tired he was, she decided to stop tempting him with the crayfish and quickly washed her hands."Go and lie down. If anything else happens to you, I won't be able to handle it. I would have no choice but to send you to the hospital," she said."Fine," he responded.Summer helped Mason back into his room.After laying down, Mason handed her a card with a license plate number on it. "Summer, go to the garage later. There's a car with this license plate there. Grab the other box from its trunk.""Okay." Summer nodded. She sat by Mason's side and checked his temperature again. He was still having a low fever.Summer fed him medication as instructed."I'm going to the garage to get what you want right now. Make sure you stay in bed and don't move. Call me if you need anything." Summer was definitely worried about Mason's condition.He had two g

Before long, Mason was fast asleep.Summer sat by his side and let out a sigh as she looked at the IV needle in the back of his hand. She sat there for a while before she picked up her phone.Just as she expected, her inbox was flooded with messages. Most of them were from Kristen, who was angry.Summer sent her some photos that she had prepared. After a moment, Kristen called.Summer got up and walked to the living room before she picked up the phone."Just scold me. You can even hit me later if you feel like it," she immediately apologized."Does anyone else know about your schedule for the trip?" Kristen asked in a low voice.Summer shook her head. "No. I'm sure of it."Kristen paused for a moment. "That's good. Just go on your graduation trip first. Call me three times a day, and before you come back, ask me. You're only allowed to come back with my approval.""Did something happen?" Summer asked.Kristen sighed. "Mason's probably dead. Royal Financial Group is in complet

Over the next two days, Mason's condition fluctuated between good and bad. Most of the time, he was asleep.Summer stayed by his side the entire time, so her scheduled meeting with Saul was postponed for a few days. Thankfully, she had already arranged everything in advance. So, it wouldn't affect the game's launch.Meanwhile, the marketing team that Saul had assembled was already working with popular content creators to review and promote the game.Other than that, Janice's incident at the camp was also going viral online.Just like what happened with Rose back then, it all started with someone leaking photos and videos in the school's forums. After that, it was picked up by the media and spread across various platforms.The headlines were shockingly similar. "The Love Story of an Heiress", "A Couple's Final Intimate Moment in the Wilds Caught by Classmates", and "Secret Romance Exposed! Many Pictures Inside!"Summer had moved a beanbag into Mason's room. When Mason was asleep,

Mason was inside the shower, while Summer stood outside.The sound of rushing water could be heard.No matter how Summer stood, she felt incredibly awkward. Looking at Mason's figure through the frosted glass, his movements seemed slow and strained.Summer felt her heart ache. Couldn't he just endure a little longer? Why did he insist on a shower?After what felt like ages, Mason finally finished his shower.When he walked out wrapped in his towel, Summer's eyes widened for a moment before she turned her head away. "Let me make you something to eat. Come out after you put on your clothes."After that, Summer bolted out of the room.Mason chuckled to himself as she escaped. Yet, the movement tugged at his wound and caused him to hiss.In reality, he could have acted even more helpless. But he was worried he would annoy her if he pushed too much. He didn't want Summer to see him as too much of a burden, either. It was better to take things one step at a time.Meanwhile, Summer 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

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
