The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 251
There had been many eyes on Hartford Group lately due to the situation with Royal Financial Group. Every few days, someone would try to sneak into the company to take some photos. Just the day before, a woman claiming to be Summer managed to get inside.With another person claiming to be Summer now, the receptionist didn't even bother to look up."Get lost while we're still being nice about it. Otherwise, we'll call the police on you." The guard was getting impatient as well.No one knew exactly what was going on with the company.There was a chance that the company would collapse, which would mean that the guard would be out of a job. Just thinking about that left him with no patience to deal with any visitors."What are you doing?"At that moment, several men in black walked out of the security checkpoint.They were Robin's men, and both the guard and receptionist recognized them.The guard said in a hurry, "There's another person claiming to be Ms. Hartford. I was just going

Summer headed right to the 17th floor, where Hartford Group's administrative department was located. When she arrived, the department seemed eerily lifeless.Everyone looked up when they noticed someone walk in."Who's that?""Is she looking for someone?""Aren't those people from the top floor? Could they be sending an intern to our department?""Who would dare intern at a time like this?""She looks quite pretty. I wonder if she's some department head's daughter.""Where's your manager?" Summer asked."In his office. If you're here for onboarding, it's over there. The manager doesn't handle that. Which executive are you related to? What's your name?" an employee asked."I'm Summer Hartford," Summer replied neutrally."Summer Hartford." The female employee was stunned for a moment. "Wait… Summer Hartford? As in Mr. Hartford's daughter?""Yes." Summer nodded.That instantly caused the listless department to erupt with activity."I'm not here to join the company. Call all t

The group entered the conference room one after another.The first thing they saw was those towering bodyguards. Then, they noticed Summer holding a small spray bottle as she watered the potted plants in the room.From the side, she looked demure and quiet, like a finely crafted doll displayed in a shop window."Is everyone here?" Summer glanced over with an unfriendly expression.The managers exchanged looks of clear displeasure."Everyone is here except for a field manager. He's out on a business trip," Kate answered."Okay." Summer gently put down the spray bottle as she walked over to the table and took a seat.She didn't sit at the head of the table. Instead, she sat across from the managers."Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Summer Hartford, the legal heiress of Hartford Group," Summer said seriously.There wasn't a hint of childishness on her face. All that remained was an imposing presence and an air of authority.The managers quickly introduced themselves."

Summer looked at that woman. "I need to hear both sides of the story. Earlier, you told me you didn't make the scheduling sheet?""I was supposed to be in charge of it, but when I checked the schedule on Monday, I noticed that Wednesday's shifts had been altered. I couldn't have made the changes, and the only one with that level of access is Ms. Morrison," the woman answered.She then added, "After the incident yesterday, Ms. Morrison fired me with the reasoning that I made a mistake at work. But I really wasn't the one who made that schedule.""That's a load of nonsense!" Megan shot up to her feet as she raised her hand to slap the woman.A bodyguard immediately grabbed her wrist and shoved Magan back to her seat. "What are you doing, acting so violent in front of Ms. Hartford?""She's making things up! I never changed that schedule. I didn't even look at it!" Megan said loudly."Ms. Hartford, I'm not lying. You can check the system records. When I heard of what happened upstair

Summer looked at Edna. "I've checked the HR system, and her résumé never existed in the records. So, a mentally ill cleaner slipped into the hiring process. Even her welfare records were created later on. The person in charge of those records is Ms. Davidson."Jean Davidson was stunned when she heard her name. "I just create files based on the documents I receive. The files would already have been vetted and approved by previous departments by the time they reach me. This has nothing to do with me, Ms. Hartford.""The interview, records, and scheduling… Each of you claims that this incident has nothing to do with you. Yet, step by step, the mentally ill patient was somehow sent to the top floor," Summer said as she tapped on the desk lightly.Each tap seemed to land heavily on the hearts of the managers that were sitting across from her.She suddenly turned to Kate. "And you, Ms. Leeds. Don't you have anything to say?"Kate looked helpless. "It was definitely a failure on my part.
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 256
"You're right. You've worked at Hartford Group for over 20 years. You'd be truly heartless if you did something like this," Summer said.Kate kept up her kind smile. "If you ask me, it was just a mistake Ms. Morrison made with scheduling. There's no conspiracy like you suspect. If you're really upset, I can fire Ms. Morrison right now, maybe even Ms. Cole and Ms. Davidson. As long as it makes you feel better, Ms. Hartford.""Ms. Leeds, what do you mean I made a mistake? I already told you this has nothing to do with me. I just remembered that you know the password to my computer. You must have come back to the office on Friday night and used my computer to change the system!" Megan exploded."Megan, don't make accusations without any proof!" Kate replied."Check the security footage! Ms. Hartford, you'll be able to see who entered my office and change the schedule if you look at the security footage from that night!" Megan shouted."Sure. The security footage will prove my innocen

"Stop it! Turn it off!" Kate shouted frantically.But no one acknowledged her."Ms. Leeds, the security cameras are already off. I'm in Ms. Morrison's office now, but she has two computers there. Which one should I use?" a male voice said."The silver laptop. The password is 7642. Hurry up," Kate responded.Maegan shouted loudly, "So it was you! You vicious old bitch! You even tried to frame me?"Kate's expression darkened as she glared at Summer.After that was a short video clip. In that clip, the man filmed the changed schedule and hit submit. "Ms. Leeds, it's done. Now, you need to settle the rest of the payment. I'll leave after this, and I won't ever show up again.""Where did you get this from?" Kate asked as she stared at Summer.From the looks of it, the chat log wasn't even leaked by the other person. It had been from her end.She had always kept a close watch on her phone, and she had deleted that conversation a long time ago. So, how did Summer get her hands on it?

Kyle smiled and didn't respond to that provocation. "Then, let's vote. I don't support getting an interim CEO. I abstain from voting.""Mr. Griffin, is there really a need for a futile fight?" Aspen asked with a mocking smile.Kyle looked at him. "You'll find out soon enough if there is."Aspen thought Kyle was just making empty threats and didn't take it seriously at all.Just like that, the voting started.Nearly all of Mason's supporters abstained, and all of Aspen's supporters voted for him. There were a few neutrals who abstained as well, while the rest mostly voted for Aspen.The voting ended very quickly.With Stephen as a witness, they started to count the votes. In the end, with 34 abstentions, Aspen managed to officially become the interim CEO with 87% support.Aspen's joy was very evident.Standing on the stage, Aspen delivered his speech enthusiastically, "Everyone, don't worry. I ran Royal Financial Group for over a decade before my nephew took over. I won't let y

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? Was there

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
