The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 239
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

"It doesn't matter how big of a star they are. I can still help you. Tell me. Who is it?" Kristen pressed."The queen of actresses, Kristen Woods," Summer answered seriously.Kristen was stunned for a moment before she laughed. "Oh, you…""It's true. I love the powerful, and who's more impressive in the entertainment industry than my mother?" Summer said.Kristen was exasperated. "Keep your voice down. Be a bit more low-key."As they chatted, several familiar faces approached holding wine glasses."Kristen, it's been a long time. I heard you're joining the cast this time?" a bearded man asked. He seemed to be a director.Summer wasn't that familiar with the entertainment industry. She could recognize a few celebrities, but background roles like directors and screenwriters were a different story."That's the plan for now." Kristen nodded."So, are you making a comeback?" the man asked."If the film industry is still interested in me," Kristen replied tactfully.The man said i

Standing in high heels for so long had left Summer a little exhausted. She decided to sit on the toilet lid in the restroom before she pulled out her phone to check on After School's progress.Everything was progressing as expected.She exited the backend system and was about to ask Robin about the company when she got a message from Robin himself. "Royal Financial Group's shareholders meeting has decided to suspend the removal vote. Things have calmed down on our end, too."Summer pursed her lips and replied, "Do you know why they suspended it? Did Mason come back?"Robin replied, "No, it seems like Mason's brother showed up at the last moment. I don't know what he did, but the news said if Mason still doesn't appear by tomorrow, the board will elect an interim CEO to manage the company to protect their interests."Summer lowered her gaze and sneered.Royal Financial Group was a massive conglomerate, and Mason had a very good professional management team that helped him run th

Summer recognized the other woman. She was an established actress named Anne Claude. Earlier, she had come to greet Kristen as well.The woman in the red dress, Martha Jones, didn't recognize Summer, but Summer recognized her immediately. After all, they had just met. "Stop talking." Anne tugged at Martha.Summer didn't say anything as she walked toward the door."What are you doing?" Martha felt like Summer was being very rude by ignoring her like that. She immediately started to get angry, but Anne pulled her back again."She's Kristen's daughter," Anne whispered."Oh, the useless one?" Martha scoffed. She had always paid attention to anything involving Kristen and had never missed out on any gossip about Summer.But what she knew of Summer was already outdated. Martha still thought that Summer was stuck in that phase when she was bullied.The word useless had barely left her mouth when Summer reached the door and suddenly shut it behind her and even locked it.Both Martha

Anne was panicking desperately at that moment. She was filled with regret as well. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have followed the loudmouth Martha to the restroom.At that moment, Martha slowly climbed back up and groaned. "Wow, Ms. Hartford, how impressive of you! You even dare to hit people now?""Are you trying to frame me?" Summer laughed coldly."Give me the phone!" At that moment, Anne took advantage of Summer being distracted and swiped Summer's phone away. Then, she quickly deleted the recording.Martha got even more arrogant when she saw that. "You pushed me down just now. So, this isn't over!"Summer did not seem to care at all. She glanced at Anne. "Done deleting it?"Anne's heart seemed to stop for a second when she saw how calm Summer was. She decided to just make sure everything was gone by throwing Summer's phone straight into the water.Summer watched her phone sink into the water and had only one thought in mind. She was thankful she didn't b

"Kristen, people saw it happen. Ms. Jones was beaten up quite badly," that person said in a low voice.Kristen said nothing else as she quickened her pace. As she approached the crowd, she heard a lot of voices criticizing Summer."It was just a phone. Did she really have to go so far?""I can't believe how arrogant a wealthy heiress can be!"Kristen's expression darkened. "What's going on here? What's all this fuss about?"When the crowd heard Kristen's voice, they immediately turned around."Kristen!" Before anyone could say anything, Martha sprawled on the ground and started to wail loudly. "Kristen, please save me. Ms. Hartford is trying to kill me!"Kristen walked over and looked at Martha before she looked at Summer. "What happened?"Summer looked at Kristen and said, "I just happened to be using the restroom when I overheard her and Ms. Claude gossiping outside. I was afraid they'd deny it, so I recorded it on my phone. "When I walked out to confront them, this woman t
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 245
The crowd was utterly confused."I don't care. You still hit me in the end! Just look at my knees…" Martha sobbed as she showed her swollen knees.She had probably really hurt herself when she fell just now."Are you sure I pushed you? Didn't you fall down yourself when you tried to snatch my phone away?" Summer asked seriously.Anne's face was utterly pale at that moment. She could vaguely feel that Summer was about to turn the tables on them."It was you! You pushed me!" Martha shrieked.Summer shook her head and smiled as she pointed at the doorway. "Good thing this hotel is high-tech. You probably don't know, but while there aren't any cameras in the restroom, there's one outside. It's usually off, but the emergency system activates it whenever the room is locked from the inside.""Is that really true?" Neil looked at a hotel staff member."It's as Ms. Hartford said," the staff member confirmed."I remember you trying to snatch away my phone and slipping. You ended up hitt

Anne almost went out of breath from crying. She deeply regretted everything. If she hadn't tried to snatch Summer's phone and thrown it into the water just now, things wouldn't have been so bad for her. Now, it seemed like she was done for."Leave a person behind to deal with this mess." Kristen's face was full of disgust. After that, she took Summer's hand and walked away without sparing a single glance at Martha and Anne, who were still pleading to her.In the crowd was a flamboyantly dressed man. That man was Terrence. He had just been dining in a private room and happened to stumble into the commotion when he was going to use the restroom.Kristen led Summer past him. When they brushed past each other, he suddenly asked, "X?"After that, his gaze was fixed on Summer.Yet, Summer didn't react at all as she kept her head down and talked to Kristen.Terrence frowned as he watched the two of them disappear. He took out his phone. That blurry picture he had of Summer was his wal

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
