Summer shot up from her bed in less than three seconds. She couldn't sleep because her mind was filled with too many thoughts. She decided to just forgo sleep altogether as she got up and switched on her computer. Then, she logged into the hacker website that she hadn't touched in a long time.Just a few seconds after she logged on, the entire website exploded."X is back.""You're finally back! Are you a senior in high school? It's been so long after the SATs, and we've all been waiting.""Since you're back, are you planning on challenging for the number one spot?"X replied, "Maybe in the future. I'm here today for recruitment."Everyone was confused."What's going on? Is X actually not a high school student but a headhunter?"Summer typed, "Well, you could say that. I'll give a quick introduction. Our company is called Eridanus, and it was founded not long ago. Just two days ago, we released our first game, After School.""What?""You made After School?""Damn! I was so s

Summer nodded eagerly. "That sounds great! I've never been to this kind of thing before. I have nothing going on today, so can you take me with you?"Kristen was taken aback for a moment.Summer knew that Kristen was planning on quietly handing the role to someone else before the filming started. But she wouldn't give Kristen a chance."Summer, I want to take you to Newford," Kristen said in a low voice.Summer stated firmly, "I'm not going, and you're not, either. Mom, do you know why Dad bought all of this for you?"Kristen shook her head."He's trying to tell you to shine brightly as you pursue what you want to do," Summer said seriously.Kristen looked up at her, her eyes starting to redden.Summer leaned against her and smiled. "Help me pick out a pretty dress. I'm just going to be in the background tonight, so I don't need to be as pretty as during my birthday.""You're really not going to your grandaunt's place? Aren't you scared?" Kristen confirmed one last time.It w

Summer wore a white dress that made her look like a delicate flower that was in full bloom. As she ran against the wind, her hair was kissed by the golden hues of sunlight."Slow down!" Kristen was a bit frightened to see her running in high heels.Summer stopped in front of Kristen and smiled. "These shoes are super stable, Mom.""You're dressed like a fairy, so stop acting like a monkey!" Kristen tidied up Summer's hair.Summer smiled sweetly as she casually glanced up. That was when she saw a car that was parked not too far away."It's about time. Let's go." Kristen took Summer's hand and led her into the car.After Summer sat down, she stole another glance out the window."What is it?" Kristen asked, seeing that Summer seemed to be looking for something."It's nothing." Summer shook her head."Did you think it was Mason?" Kristen hit the nail on the head.Summer nodded. "Didn't he drive a car like that last time?""Summer, when did you and Mason meet?" Kristen asked."I

Everyone knew there were very few people in the world who could call Aspen their uncle. Upon hearing that remark, everyone stood up and looked to the entrance in shock.When the man stepped inside, everyone was shocked for a moment before they looked exasperated."It's him?""Even a bastard child has come to crash Royal Financial Group's shareholders' meeting. It looks like everyone related to the Hunt family is frantically trying to get a piece of the pie with Mason gone.""This can't go on. If Mason really gets removed today, or if he's really dead, then I'll sell all my shares right away."The room was buzzing with discussions.Aspen and Rosanna looked at the young man who just entered. Aspen's face was filled with disdain, as if the person wasn't worth talking to.Rosanna merely smiled. "Saul, didn't you say you weren't coming? What happened? Are you finally convinced that Mason is really dead?""Aunt Rosanna, Uncle Aspen just said that all this isn't important. What's impo

The room was buzzing with discussions.Saul let them go on for a while, and Rosanna looked more and more displeased.Saul glanced at her and noticed she was about to speak. So, he took the initiative and spoke first, "Everyone has been arguing the whole day, but it all boils down to two things everyone's afraid of. The first one is the threats my uncle has been making to you repeatedly…""Brat, what kind of nonsense are you saying?" Aspen shot up from his seat and pointed at Saul in rage.Saul did not panic as he continued, "The second one is that you're afraid that Mason's not dead yet. If you vote to remove him today and he's alive, then based on his personality, none of you will live peaceful lives anymore."Everyone was silent. Saul looked gentle and was quite soft-spoken, but everything he said seemed to send chills down their spines."Saul, what's the point of saying all of that?" Aspen sneered. "We're wasting our time here. Mason's not coming back no matter how much you ta

Kyle was baffled. Based on the original plan, things were definitely meant to progress this way. He looked at Saul in surprise.Was he an enemy or a friend? What was he going to do next?Yet, Saul didn't do anything after that. He merely shouted amid all the noise, "I've already cast my vote. No matter when you plan on starting the vote, I'm standing with Mason."Kyle was very confused.Then, with a slight nod, Saul walked out of the conference room."That's enough!" Aspen's head was hurting from all the arguing. He slammed a file on the desk, silencing the room with a loud bang."Kyle, you claim that Mason isn't dead, right?" He looked at Kyle with burning anger."He's not dead!" Kyle answered.Aspen gritted his teeth. "Fine! Fellow shareholders, this whole week, from the moment Mason disappeared, how many of our subsidiaries' stocks have dropped by over ten percent? Do you know how much money has been lost from this? That money is yours, too, isn't it?"Everyone frowned in s

"That's right, Mr. Griffin. We all want to know if something really happened to Mr. Mason," the others chimed in."I'll do my best to get Mr. Mason here," Kyle said."Don't just do your best. Let's set it at 10:00 am tomorrow. We'll reconvene this meeting then. If Mr. Mason doesn't appear then, we'll appoint an interim CEO to stabilize the situation. He can take over again once he returns from his vacation," Stephen said.Aspen looked at Stephen and sneered.That man really was cunning. He chose to sit on the fence, but he knew exactly how to phrase things when it came down to it. He chose not to offend anyone.Aspen would have despised him for it any other day, but this suggestion benefited him no matter how he looked at it.After all, Mason was dead. He had fired that bullet into Mason's chest himself. The dead could not come back.Besides, an interim CEO was as good as the official CEO."I support Stephen's suggestion." Aspen raised his hand.Those who were neutral all rais

On the other side of the city, a romantic-themed gala was happening by the riverside.There was a red carpet leading into the venue, with many reporters surrounding it. The celebrities that were attending the gala dressed up in glamorous outfits as they posed elegantly, pausing for photos before accepting interviews.Summer had no interest in joining the spectacle. She had exited the car earlier and entered the gala through a side entrance.Meanwhile, Kristen had been pushed straight to the red carpet by Summer.Taking advantage of Kristen walking onto the red carpet, Summer blended in with the staff. Then, she took out her phone and started snapping photos of Kristen.Kristen had rarely attended such events after she stepped away from the spotlight. The reporters seemed incredibly excited to see her. As they snapped photos of Kristen, they started to whisper excitedly among themselves."Does Kristen not age? How is her skin still so flawless despite her age?""You can do it, to

Most of the time, Summer was the one who communicated with Lindsey about the character designs.Summer and Lindsey had similar artistic tastes. When it came to the character drafts, what would have normally taken a month only took a week to complete.Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, Power Construction's bidding event arrived.Summer arrived at the company early in the morning."What are you doing here?" Lionel asked. He was in charge of the project, and Saul, who wasn't involved, was absent."I'm just coming with you guys to watch the drama," Summer said."Does anyone from Power Construction know you?" Lionel asked."I'm just going to wear a hat and observe. It's no big deal," Summer said."Alright, then. Let's head over!" Lionel called over two other programmers from the company and headed right to the bidding event venue. Power Construction might not be a major corporation, but its platform had decent traffic. Even if it was put together on short notice, plenty

Kyle panicked. "What? How could you not say anything? The situation isn't like the rumors at all! What if Ms. Hartford misunderstands? She has such a strong personality. She's definitely not someone who will just settle for less."Kyle's impression of Summer wasn't particularly good or bad. Those few days on the island actually changed his opinions of Summer a lot. At least right now, he couldn't think of anyone else in high society who was worthy of Mason—only Summer.The most important thing was that Mason clearly liked her, too. But the fiancée situation was like a ticking time bomb.He had been worried about it since they left the island. Sure enough, something happened after just a few days.Mason said proudly, "You're underestimating the future Mrs. Hunt too much. Summer's not the kind of woman you think she is."After that, Mason walked away.Kyle stood in place, completely baffled. "What does that mean?"He didn't explain anything, but he still seemed so happy?

Because of the huge success of After School, Eridanus had already gained a solid reputation in the industry.Summer said, "Good work. Is the date set yet?"Lionel replied, "It is. On the 6th of next month."Summer did the math. "Today's already the 29th, so isn't that just next week?""It is. Thankfully, this bid was a last-minute notice anyway. They have a good impression of us, so there weren't any roadblocks," Lionel said.Summer smiled. "Your friend helped, didn't he?"Lionel chuckled. "He really wants this deal to go through, too."Summer lowered her gaze. "Then, we might end up disappointing your friend.""What?" Lionel exclaimed."This bid is going to cause a direct conflict between two similar projects," Summer said slowly."Don't worry. I've already arranged everything. We'll crush them on the spot for plagiarism!" Lionel declared.Summer was silent for a moment. "That department was set up by Anthony's father-in-law to promote him. Even if we expose them and win th

"She just felt sorry for her sister," Summer mumbled.The phone call that morning, and the woman on the other end…She had been just as emotional as the little sister in Phoebe's story.Who knew what kind of mess would follow?Phoebe shook her head. "You shouldn't kill anyone even if you feel sorry for your sister! Alright! Now eat your chicken. I simmered it for hours.""Phoebe, have you ever heard any rumors about Mason Hunt?" Summer suddenly asked.Phoebe was shocked as she lowered her voice. "Ms. Hartford, you can't mention that name in this house!"Summer laughed. "Grandpa isn't around. Didn't he save me last time? I'm quite curious about him.""Don't be." Phoebe's expression carried a look of warning. "Wait. Mason is incredibly handsome, and you've always liked handsome people. Oh, my God, Ms. Hartford! Could you have fallen for him? You can't. Anyone else is fine, but you can't fall for Mason!""What's wrong with Mason?" Summer asked.Phoebe looked determined to snuff

Summer could more or less guess the story.Mason's fiancée's sister had probably woken up from her vegetative state. She probably couldn't accept the deaths of her family and refused to accept that Mason had fallen for someone else.Summer hated trouble. Normally, with her current personality, she wouldn't even have spared this complicated situation a second glance and fled.But it was Mason. She owed him her life, so how could she flee?On top of that, she didn't want to run, either."I'll give him a chance. If he manages to deal with the situation, then we'll continue. If he doesn't, then I won't get caught up with it. The lessons from my past life were more than enough!" Summer said to herself.When she got home, the others were not back yet.Summer had dinner with Phoebe. As they ate, Phoebe chatted about the neighborhood gossip as usual. "I heard something unbelievably dramatic while I was out buying groceries today.""I love drama!" Summer immediately said."I knew it!

In the work group chat, the preparations for the project that Anthony had stolen for bidding were almost complete.Summer and those seven experts had revised and optimized the original structure greatly. Basically, the improved version was far superior to the original.Anthony had the audacity to try and poach people from the company? Then, she would make sure to crush him at the bidding meeting.The new computer was soon assembled. After the store employees loaded it into the car, Summer brought Lindsey to buy the best drawing tablet available.Finally, Summer dropped Lindsey back home.After the new setup was installed, Lindsey tested it out. It was night and day compared to her old setup. "Summer, I feel so happy!"Summer curled up on the couch, feeling her eyelids drooping down from exhaustion.She wasn't planning on leaving yet.Because…Lindsey received a message from Lionel. "It's here! What do I do now, Summer? Lionel wants me to design a mental asylum-themed poster."

"Are they like this every day?" Summer glanced back.Saul answered, "Pretty much. You seem a bit distracted today."Summer was taken aback for a moment. "Do I?"Saul pointed to her eyes. "Yeah. They usually sparkle brightly, but they seem a bit dim today."Summer felt a strange heaviness in her chest.She smiled. "It's probably because I didn't sleep well last night. I had a burst of inspiration and ended up working on the script until past 5:00 am."Saul could tell that Summer had something on her mind."You gave me great advice with my brother last time. It really helped me ease my relationship with him. So, if you have anything on your mind, you can always consider sharing with me. I might be able to help you," Saul said warmly.Summer sighed helplessly. "I don't know what to say. It's a bit complicated, so let me sort it through myself first.""I'm always here to listen," Saul said and smiled.Summer smiled back.They finished their tour and returned to the main hall whe

Summer didn't seem to care at all. "Maybe we'll run into him again."Saul didn't understand what she was trying to say. "What?"Summer shook her head. "Let's keep looking around."Saul led her through the peripheral development area before heading into the core development zone. The atmosphere there was entirely different from the outside.The place was packed with top-tier talent from all over the world, and all of them had their own quirks.At Eridanus, Summer allowed them to embrace all their quirks. Which meant the core development area looked a bit like a zoo.The moment she stepped inside, she saw a pink corn snake coiled around a man's head, flicking its tongue at her. That man's desk even had a glass tank on it. There was a massive spider inside that definitely looked venomous.Summer wasn't easily scared, but seeing so many creatures around definitely gave her goosebumps.As she walked further in, she spotted a few adorable cats, but to prevent the cats from pouncing o

Saul frowned slightly. "Go check out the merchandise department first. I'll take a look.""I want to see what's happening, too," Summer said as she headed toward the HR department.She had just heard someone mention a Mr. Lawson, after all. And it was a Mr. Lawson from across the street, too.Another gaming company in the same industrial park. Surely it wasn't the same guy that she knew?"You're being unreasonable! You skipped work for three days straight, and HR deducted your pay according to company policy!"As soon as Summer arrived, she saw a woman working in HR, on the verge of tears, being berated by a burly man with a square face."What's going on? Why are you making such a scene at the company?" Saul's tone was sharp."Director…" The young woman was about to speak.But that square-faced man cut her off and raised his voice. "Mr. Hunt, I sent an email to HR yesterday about increasing my salary, but they said you rejected it. Is that right?""You've only been in the indu
