The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 24
News of Summer's change in behavior quickly spread throughout the school. Everywhere she went, gazes would follow her.She pretended she didn't notice it.When she arrived at the entrance of the teacher's office, she heard the teachers talking about her as well. "This is too much! How could she shove a classmate's head into a pile of trash? That's inhumane! These rich kids would do the worst of things just because they come from powerful backgrounds!"Summer scoffed.She had simply shoved Annie's head into the pile of trash Annie had created. This was nothing compared to the bullying Annie had done to her. But these teachers were feeling bad for the students now?Summer lifted her hand and knocked on the door.The voices in the teacher's office fell silent.It was slightly disappointing, but because of her connection to Hartford Group, those people would never dare express their hatred toward her. At the very least, this was the situation right now.Her simple retaliation t

Normally, in a school where they had so many students coming from rich, prominent families, the teachers would rarely treat their students like this. Yet, why were they treating Summer like that?It was because they knew that Summer was meek and docile. She would not tell her parents about what happened at school.These teachers were not afraid of the students. Instead, they were wary of the rich, prominent families that these students belonged to."Did I say something wrong, Mr. Sutton?" Summer looked Ivan straight in the eye."Are you saying that all of Annie's misdeeds, such as dumping trash all over my desk, tearing my textbooks and homework, and forcing me to drink dirty water, are just playful banter? On the other hand, I'm bullying her by making her clean up the mess she made on my desk?""You!" Ivan could not come up with a rebuttal to Summer's question."Do the rest of you share the same opinion as Mr. Sutton, too?" Summer's gaze drifted across the other teachers inside

Ivan's eyes lit up instantly."I almost forgot about that! Summer Hartford is a real birdbrain. She couldn't even answer the simplest questions. I won't let her off for what happened today. Once the exam is over, I'm going to make sure she receives all the punishment she deserves!"…The school had a dormitory. Even though they called it the dormitory, pretty much none of the students lived in the building. Instead, it existed with the purpose of providing rich students with a resting space during their breaks.Most of the dormitory rooms were single rooms that were lavishly decorated, each equipped with its own bathroom, dressing room, and other basic features. They even had better amenities as compared to some of the five-star hotels out there.Annie took a shower and changed into clean clothes. Then, she sat in front of the mirror and sprayed perfume on herself repeatedly.She had washed her body several times, yet she could not seem to get rid of the stench of trash still stu

Robin had a bewildered look on his face."Ms. Hartford, did something happen today?" He took Summer's bag from her.Summer narrowed her eyes and beamed. "Nothing happened. It was a wonderful day today.""Okay." Robin cast another glance at those students, who were somehow visibly scared. Then, he opened the car door for Summer.He entered the car following Summer. Then, he started driving toward the school gate.Meanwhile, those students who were visibly scared exchanged glances with each other.After a while, one of them said, "I've never noticed before how pretty Summer is and how long her legs are! It even seemed like she was glowing when she smiled just now.""I think you're right…""She's too feisty, though. This morning, she grabbed Annie's hair and pressed her face down on the pile of trash. I was so shocked!""Those girls bullied her a lot in the past. Well, watching her get revenge on them was quite satisfying."The crowd of students that stood there quietly earlier

"I can." Summer dropped her gaze and resumed typing on her phone. "Go out and tell them I'll give them two minutes for the interview. I'll only answer three questions.""Ms. Hartford!" Robin was getting more and more agitated.Summer had never seen Robin look so worried. She grinned. "Mr. Cohen, why do you think these reporters have suddenly shown up at the school gates?"Robin knitted his brows.Summer continued, "Someone had these reporters come here.""It was an oversight on my part," Robin replied in a grim tone."What does it have to do with you when it's someone else who's trying to pull these cheap tricks?" Summer glanced out of the window."Even if I've remained in the car today, these guys are still going to write and publish some crappy articles about me tomorrow. Since I can't avoid it anyway, isn't it better if I face them head-on? Don't you agree, Mr. Cohen?"Robin was in a state of shock.He did not expect that the quiet, reserved lady could already share such in

The reporters were struck speechless. On the other hand, the Hartford family's bodyguards were all bewildered by Summer's response.The reporter who was chosen first snapped out of his reverie. He quickly said, "Ms. Hartford, do you have anything to say about the videos of your cousin that are circulating on the Internet today?""No." Summer pointed at another reporter. "You'll ask the next question. Ask something related to me."The reporters were all left flabbergasted by her response, whereas the bodyguards had shocked expressions on their faces."Um…" Summer's calm composure was rather intimidating. The second reporter who was chosen was a little dazed. Fortunately, he had prepared his questions beforehand.He asked sharply, "Ms. Hartford, some people think it may be a bit insensitive of you to show up at your school when your cousin is having a hard time because of the scandal."Summer looked at the reporter, feeling both annoyed and exasperated. "I'm a student. It's only na

Summer smiled contemptuously.After seeing all those reporters at the front gate, the first thing that came to her mind was Annie's group. So, she used her phone to create something fun through coding right away. Then, she sent her creation, which was disguised as an email about a luxury brand's latest products, to those girls.The first person who clicked and opened the email was Becca.Summer did not try to go through Becca's stuff to dig up her secrets. She simply wanted to confirm that these girls were responsible for the reporters stopping her at school that day.After that, Summer copied several videos saved on Becca's phone and sent them to dozens of media agencies by using an anonymous email address.By the time she had finished doing all of that, the car was slowly entering the Hartford residence's garage."Thanks for your hard work, Mr. Cohen. I'll call Grandpa and tell him I won't be going over tonight. You can get some rest now."Summer got out of the car and waved a

Rose stood on the steps and gaped at the TV screen, on which the clip had been paused. Summer looked beautiful, poised, and commanding on screen, but it was such an unfamiliar sight to Rose.How could this be the same Summer she'd always manipulated and toyed with?After a brief moment of dazedness, anger and terror washed over her. She was in such a dire situation, yet Summer was stomping all over her suffering and putting on such a show before the reporters.No wonder she hadn't had the nerve to return to Hartford Manor last night—she didn't have the nerve to face Rose after the things she'd done!"Rewind the clip now. I want to see what happened earlier!" Henry urged after returning to his senses. Luke also snapped to his senses and grabbed the remote, rewinding the clip.Henry, Luke, and Kristen were thoroughly stunned after seeing how Summer had spoken to the reporters."Am I seeing things, Dad? Was that Summer who rebuked the reporters with the cameras rolling?" Luke aske

The call ended there.Saul glanced at the never-ending stream of traffic before he raised a hand and hailed a taxi.On the way, he felt a little unsettled. After some thought, he decided to call Summer.At that moment, Summer was scolding Mason for eating something he shouldn't. "I told you you can't eat these things! What kind of tyrant CEO has a mouth as greedy as yours?"Mason merely sat there obediently and let her lecture him. In truth, he wasn't actually craving those snacks. But Summer wasn't paying him any attention, so…When Summer saw Saul's call, she grabbed all the snacks from the small table and locked them up in her room before she answered it."What is it?" she asked.Saul felt a little comforted when he heard Summer's voice. "It's about your team. You're very capable, and you plan on expanding the company. The team I put together for you isn't bad, but they might not be enough in the long run."Summer nodded. "I've thought about that as well, but I don't have an

To Terrence, Saul was like a thick iron wall that would never let anyone enter. He had a face that was the envy of all and was surrounded by women since he was young. Yet, he hadn't even dated anyone even in his 20s.For a long time, Terrence had even suspected that Saul liked men.Saul looked at Terrence. "That's right. I want to spend my life with her. Terrence, the girl I like is absolutely one of a kind in this world."Terrence shrugged and said nothing.Saul left shortly after that.Terrence stretched and thought to himself that genes weren't always reliable.For instance, Saul's father was a complete playboy who made headlines every other day for his affairs back then. The man even seduced his own sister-in-law and his sister-in-law's younger sister.Yet, when it came to Saul, he was a hopeless romantic.As Terrence thought about it, his phone rang. It was the person he asked to help him look for Summer.Terrence answered and said, "If there's still no news, then there's

Who wouldn't want to ruffle that fluffy hair?"What are you looking at? You're allowed to mess up my hair, but I'm not?" Summer playfully raised a fist at him before getting up and mumbling as she headed next door.Mason sat at the dining table, gently touching the spot where Summer had just patted him. He couldn't hide the smile on his lips.There was no way he wouldn't allow it. In fact, he wanted nothing more than for her to do it more."Wait for me!" Mason quickly got up. He grabbed the milk that Summer hadn't finished and hurried after her.When Summer opened her computer, Saul was already waiting for her online."The internal test results are all within our estimations. The response to the promotional campaign has been great as well. I think that the final results will exceed your expectations," Saul said.Summer looked at the data that Sault sent over and was a bit surprised. She definitely didn't expect such a good response. "Saul, you definitely live up to your reputa

After a moment of hesitation, Summer decided to call Kristen.Kristen hadn't slept well the whole night. When she saw Summer's call, she hesitated for a moment before she picked up."Mom," Summer greeted.Kristen sighed. "Are you calling to ask about Rose?"Summer felt a bit helpless. "So, she really did go to you. I knew no one else would help her.""Summer, I know how much she's hurt you. I guarantee that this is the last time," Kristen said.Summer replied, "I understand. You shouldn't think too much about it. Her mother helped you a lot in the past. I understand it.""I already sent her away. She just boarded the plane. She said she won't be coming back," Kristen said."Let's hope so." Summer didn't really trust Rose's words.If only Rose was willing to live peacefully and stay with Anthony without causing trouble. Then, she could have lived a comfortable life thanks to the Hartford family."Summer…" Kristen seemed to have something she wanted to ask, but she stopped."W

"Janice, I've never been on the same side as Rose. She was kicked out of the Hartford family a long time ago, and I'm not some saint who would help someone trying to harm me. You're barking up the wrong tree," Summer replied coldly.Janice was clenching her teeth. "Summer! Don't be too pleased with yourself. I know you had a hand in this, too. I won't let Rose off, and I definitely won't let you off, either."Summer lowered her gaze and chuckled.Janice got even angrier when she heard that. "What are you laughing at?""Janice, you like Chandler, right?" Summer asked.Jancie did not respond."With things as they are, how do you still not realize what's important? If you don't shift your focus back to your family, your parents will probably have your marriage with Anthony finalized in the next few days," Summer said slowly.Janice froze in place.She had been fully focused on Rose the last few days. With her mind fully occupied by revenge, she didn't have the time to think about

Kristen looked at Rose coldly. "For two days, Janice used all of Power Construction's resources and still couldn't find you. Summer is not that capable.""Summer isn't that capable? Do you know who hacked into her birthday party and swapped my video on the screen? It was Summer! She's a very good hacker!" Rose said through gritted teeth."That's enough! I have no time for your nonsense. So what if my daughter is a hacker? If you just called me over for this, then speak no more. Even if Summer is a monster, she's still my daughter. She's my precious girl!" Kristen said impatiently.Rose had always thought that Kristen didn't like Summer. Even now, she was still trying to drive a wedge between the two of them.The moment Kristen said that Summer was her precious girl, Rose felt like a bucket of cold water had been dumped over her head.She lowered her gaze and let out a bitter laugh. "Aunt Kristen, I always thought that I was your precious girl.""Weren't you? Didn't I treat you we

Summer furrowed her brows. "Just try and harass my mom and see what happens."Rose gritted her teeth and said, "If you don't help me, then that's my only choice. My mom died indirectly because of her. She owes me for that. It's only natural that she should help me."Summer's expression grew colder.She thought of Rose's cruelty. She thought of those who died because of Rose in her past life. She thought of that gardener who had died not long ago.Even if Summer had crawled her way out of hell, killing someone still wasn't something she could do. But she could still use someone else to do it."Let me think about it." Summer lowered her gaze."I don't have that much time to wait!" Rose was frantic."I'll let you know by today," Summer answered."Good! I'll wait until nightfall. If you still haven't arranged anything by then, I'll go to Aunt Kristen!" Rose hung up after that.Summer glanced at the number on the screen and licked her teeth.After that, she quickly managed to trac

Summer picked up the watering can beside her and watered a potted plant in front of her. "Rose, you've changed so many numbers just to call me and curse at me. Are you really that free?""What grudge do you have against me? Why are you doing all of this to me?" Rose asked through gritted teeth.Summer didn't know what to say to that. Shouldn't she be the one asking Rose that?"I don't understand what you're saying. Aren't you just reaping what you sow? Nothing would have happened to you if you weren't scheming things in the first place," Summer said with a cold laugh."Janice is convinced that I worked with you to set her up now! She's sworn she'll make sure I die horribly!" Rose's voice seemed like it was about to break."Wasn't that just your and Anthony's plan? What does it have to do with me?" Summer didn't know if Rose was recording this or not, so she was careful not to expose anything.She continued, "I've looked at the trending topics lately. The two of you planned things

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
