Mason couldn't have been happier."I really did bring my employees here on vacation. I even scheduled a diving trip for them tomorrow, so I'll be staying another day," he said warmly.Summer was naturally happy that she could spend more time with Mason.Summer nodded. "Alright, then. I'll see how things go and call you tomorrow.""Okay." Mason nodded."Then, I'll take my leave. Good night." Summer waved before she turned around and headed to the hotel.But she had just taken a step forward when someone suddenly grabbed her wrist. Then, she was pulled back with some force as a big palm cupped her face. Then, a kiss that was deeper than on the beach landed on her lips.Summer immediately froze.The area was particularly bright, and people could walk by at any moment. If anyone did, they would likely be Kristen's staff.Thankfully, the kiss had been deep but brief.Mason quickly let go of her. His beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with a thousand emotions as he said in a soft a

There were many actors staying in the hotel. It was quite normal for actors to cover themselves up like that to avoid being noticed by fans or paparazzi.However, as Summer brushed past the man, she smelled the scent of kerosene on him.It was a smell that she had encountered countless times in the asylum. In fact, she had died in that very smell, so she was incredibly sensitive to it."Wait a moment." Summer stopped and looked at the man.The man stood inside the elevator and asked impatiently, "What do you want? I'm busy.""This floor is reserved for the main cast. Who are you?" Summer blocked the elevator door and maintained her politeness, but her gaze was incredibly sharp."That's none of your business. Now move!" The man suddenly turned aggressive.Summer studied the man.He seemed absolutely murderous, and the eyes that peeked out from under his cap were filled with malice.She had no bodyguards with her at that moment, and there was no way Emma could fight. So, they co

The manager quickly switched the surveillance feed to Elevator 3 and rewound the footage to ten minutes ago as Summer instructed.The video played until it showed her and Emma inside the elevator.Soon, the moment when Summer stopped the man played on screen.After their brief exchange, the elevator doors closed. The man seemed visibly agitated inside the elevator.When the elevator arrived on the first floor, he didn't go out. Instead, he pressed the button for Kristen's floor and headed straight back up.Even more terrifying was the fact that he reached into his pocket and pulled out a glinting knife as he walked out of the elevator."This man isn't from our hotel. Is he a part of your production crew?" The manager was shocked to see the dagger.Summer's expression turned cold.From the moment she noticed the man to when she checked the surveillance footage now, she had been very quick. Everything had happened in the span of less than ten minutes.She switched the elevator s

"Why did you bring all of this to the hotel?" Summer caught a whiff of the kerosene and immediately felt uneasy.The man sneered. "Because I wanted to! Miss, are there any rules against bringing kerosene into the hotel? Are you trying to accuse me of arson? When did you see me setting a fire? What exactly did I burn?""Ms. Hartford, look at this." A bodyguard pulled out a tattered and crumpled piece of paper from the man's pocket.After unfolding it, Summer's and Emma's expressions immediately darkened when they saw what was on it.It was a poster of Kristen. On the poster, a red X had been drawn on it, along with the word "die" repeatedly."Who exactly are you?" Summer asked coldly."That's none of your business," the man retorted."Did you do this?" Summer squatted down and shoved the poster in front of the man.The man looked incredibly arrogant. "I did. Is that a crime? Kristen is a bitch. She's a heartless woman who betrayed her husband and child. I can do whatever I want

"There's no need." Summer didn't seem intimidated by the man at all.She pulled up a chair and sat in front of him.She was in no hurry to say anything as she stared at the man coldly while he struggled. All the while, she had her legs crossed and her arms folded.The bodyguards exchanged baffled looks with one another.After the man continued his struggles for a while, he slowly calmed down when he saw that Summer wasn't reacting at all. However, his eyes were still filled with hostility."Are you done now?" Summer said coolly.The man still looked like he wanted to tear Summer apart. Summer waved her hand. "Take the sock out."The bodyguards hesitated for a moment but still followed her orders as they pulled the sock out from the man's mouth.The man immediately started cursing, "Bitch! You're just a bitch under Kristen, aren't you? Do you know who I am? Just call her over and ask her!"A bodyguard who was right next to the man immediately slapped him. "How dare you speak
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 283
"Ms. Hartford, what's wrong?" The bodyguards by Summer's side were startled as well.Summer glanced at the phone screen. There was a picture of a pale and lifeless woman there. Then, she looked up at the man in front of her.There was a picture of a dead woman on his phone.The man immediately tried to console Summer. "Summer, don't be afraid. That woman is already dead! She's another shameless woman who abandoned her child at home to fool around with another man. Her husband was trash that refused to speak up! So, I taught her a lesson!""You've killed someone?" Summer asked in shock.That was when she realized that the man in front of her was a lunatic.The man shouted, "I'm just carrying out justice. I'll make sure to punish all the shameless women in the world that I see. Kristen's that kind of woman. I came today to take revenge for my father and me! That woman doesn't deserve to live at all."But don't worry. I won't hurt you. I like you a lot. You have no idea how happy I

"That murderer is a lunatic. He was coming for my mom. If I hadn't realized there was something wrong with him, my mom could have…" Summer shut her eyes tightly. Just the thought of it made her tremble.It had been so hard for her to snatch her parents back from death. She never expected more dangers to still be lurking around.Mason gently coaxed her, "But you did realize it, didn't you? You dealt with it very well. No one was hurt because of him."Summer listened to Mason's voice and enjoyed his presence by her side as she slowly calmed down."How did you get here? Did the bodyguards notice you?" Summer mumbled as she changed the subject.Mason smiled. "No, they were too busy downstairs."Summer tightened her hug. "Good. Let me hold you for a bit longer.""I'm yours anyway. You can hold me for as long as you want," Mason replied.Summer blushed slightly as she muttered, "Since when were you mine? Did I put a label on you? Or did you join my family?""Can I join your family?"

Summer turned her head toward the door. Then, she turned to look at Mason. "I forgot about my mom!"Mason still looked emotional. He looked at Summer and whispered into her ear, "So, should I hide or not?"Summer smacked the hand Mason still had around her waist in exasperation. "What else? Hurry up!""Kiss me again." Mason seemed to be in no hurry."Summer?" Kristen started to sound anxious outside as she pressed the doorbell twice.Summer clenched her teeth and quickly gave Mason another kiss. "Is that enough?"Mason nodded. Then, he used his thumb to lightly brush on her lips. "They're red. Think about how you'll explain that to my mother-in-law."Then, Mason kissed her on the forehead and headed to the bedroom.Summer was stunned for a moment before she walked to the door and mumbled, "Who's your mother-in-law? You're so shameless!"Before she opened the door, Summer wiped her lips and smoothed out her hair again."Mom, are you done with your meeting?" She blinked innocen

A moment later, the greenhouse was tidied up.Marge, having been shoved down by Joe, looked as humiliated as could be. "Joe, why are you even arguing with her? Let's go home!""Shut up!" Joe glared at her viciously.At that moment, Shane arrived with a large whiteboard.The moment Joe saw it, he rushed over and grabbed a marker. Then, he wrote down a difficult problem that he had seen on his phone, one that he couldn't solve himself. "Solve it!"Summer glanced at him and politely said to Shane, "Could you please help me hang this up? Thank you."Shane smiled respectfully before he had some others hang it up.Summer slowly walked to the whiteboard.The problem was definitely difficult. She had never encountered it before, so she stood in front and thought for a long time.Joe looked more and more pleased with himself as she constantly told those around him, "I said it. She cheated. There's no way she was capable of scoring so high."Kristen looked at Summer with some worry as

"Did you hear that? Class 3 of Saintwood Academy, Sum…" Joe never expected the name to come out from the teacher's mouth would be Summer's. He had been ready to mock Summer. But the words were caught in his throat as he started. Then, he turned off the speaker and hurriedly asked again, "What did you say her name was again?"The teacher repeated, "Summer Hartford! The principal just told me she's actually an heiress. You should know her, right?"Joe looked at Summer in disbelief. Before the teacher could continue rambling, Joe hung up the phone. "You must have cheated!" Joe suddenly broke the silence in the crowd with his shout.Summer's lips curled up into a smirk of disdain. "You're welcome to report me.""Summer, did you already know?" Kristen finally snapped out of her shock. She was so happy that she lost her composure for a moment."The principal called me on the way here. I was planning on telling everyone when we got home, but I never expected someone to be so willing

"Saintwood Academy?" The crowd erupted in shock.After all, while Saintwood Academy was a prestigious private school, its academics had always been mediocre."Yes." The girl nodded."Can you shut up? You think you know everything? You're so annoying!" Joe grabbed a fork and threw it at the girl.Summer happened to be beside her and immediately pulled the girl toward her. The fork shattered a plate and sent the shards flying everywhere."Oh, my God!"The table erupted into chaos."What the hell are you doing?" The girl's mother immediately stood up.Marge frowned. "Why are you shouting at my son? She wasn't even hurt.""Mrs. Dunn, you spoil your son too much. He just threw a fork at someone in front of all of us. Is this how you raised him?" the lady shouted furiously."Is that any of your business?" Marge shielded Joe.At that moment, Lanie suddenly asked Summer, "Summer, you're from Saintwood Academy, too, right? Do you know anyone at your school that could possibly be the

But Lanie didn't dare to openly defy Kristen, either, so she simply smiled and changed the subject.As they chatted, a wealthy lady suddenly frowned and said, "By the way, have your kids played that new game lately?" "Are you talking about that bloody one? I think it's called After School?" Lanie looked disgusted."Yes!"Lanie patted her chest. "My daughter plays it all the time! It scares me to death just watching her! I have no idea which company published it, but I really want to have a word with the publisher. Why would they make something so terrifying?"Kristen lowered her gaze and said calmly, "Hartford Group published it.""What? Your company made it?" Lanie was stunned.Kristen nodded. "Yes. I only heard my husband mention it in passing, but I never expected it to be so popular. I didn't know your children would be playing it, too.""Why would your company make such a terrifying game?""I remember Hartford Group has never been particularly strong in the area. How did

Marge's smile froze on her face.Then, she sneered. "What kind of joke is this? There are only two women in the top ten of our region, and both of them are on the tail end. I know them, and they already evaluated their scores and didn't do well. They even cried about it. It's not them, so who could it be if not my son?""There's no need to rush. The official results will be out soon, and we'll all see for ourselves," Gloria said with a smile. But Marge remained arrogant as she glanced at Summer.At that moment, Summer was replying to some messages from her company's tech team.Marge laughed when she saw that. "Summer, you seem so relaxed. You're even playing with your phone.""Mrs. Dunn, I know where I stand, so you don't need to worry about me." Summer glanced at her.Marge rolled her eyes and muttered under her breath, "With scores like that, of course you know where you stand."In the past, Marge actually liked Luke. Before she got married, she had believed she and Luke cou

"Oh." Terrence let out a chuckle.He had been struggling to find a way to get close to Summer. He was even rejected when he sent his résumé to her company. Now, fate had intervened, bringing his beloved right into his house."Tell the staff to prepare a bath for me," Terrence said after he caught a whiff of the stench of alcohol on him. Then, he rushed to his room.Shane stood in place, showing some clear dislike for Terrence."A perfectly good illegitimate child should just stay outside. Why is he back here trying to make the lady of the house uncomfortable?" he muttered. After that, he instructed the staff to make sure that Terrence was kept away from the greenhouse where the gathering was being held.The inside of the glass greenhouse was elegantly decorated.Those inside had been chatting with each other, but they stopped when they saw Kristen. One after another, they rose from their seats. "Oh, my! The superstar finally has time to come and have afternoon tea with us."Kris

The manor was quite grand. It was almost on par with the one owned by the Hartford family."Kristen, you're finally here!" By the entrance was a tall, slender woman in her 40s or 50s. She looked the image of someone who was very socially adept."I'm so sorry, Mrs. Dincht. I've been so busy helping my daughter with the SATs. I was preparing for my comeback afterward. That's why I've had to turn down quite a few of your gatherings," Kristen said calmly."Your daughter's education is the most important!" Mrs. Dincht, Gloria Nial, laughed as she looked over.Her gaze landed on Summer. "Summer?""Hello, Mrs. Dincht," Summer said loudly.Gloria looked even more delighted. "Why didn't you tell me you were bringing your daughter? Come on. Let me take a good look at you, Summer. After what happened at your birthday party last time, I didn't get the chance to take a proper look at you."Summer obediently walked over.Gloria studied Summer carefully before she looked at Kristen. "Such a p

Robin walked in and paused when he saw the three of them together."What is it?" Henry asked."News just came in. Rosanna and Aspen have been released," Robin said.The atmosphere in the room seemed to freeze."If they're out, then so be it. No need to make a fuss about it." Henry waved it off before he redirected his focus to the exams."Summer's SAT results are more important right now," Kristen said.Robin nodded. "Understood.""Mr. Cohen, who got released?" Summer walked down at that moment."Rosanna and Aspen," Robin answered.Summer frowned. "Why were they only locked up for a few days?""I heard they spent a lot of money to bail themselves out," Robin replied.Summer nodded. "That's good. Wouldn't want Ms. Rosanna to miss out on my exam results."Robin was speechless."Summer, you're up?" Henry immediately waved her over.Summer ran over with a smile. "Good morning, Grandpa. Why are you clutching the edge of the table like that?"Henry quickly released his hands a

Luke, ever the intellectual, looked shocked. "Dad, when did you believe in all this?""I'd rather be safe than sorry!" Henry then looked at Summer's arm with a heartbroken expression. "You must have been terrified.""I wasn't." Summer spent a long time comforting Henry.It was deep in the night when everyone returned to their rooms.Summer was feeling incredibly inspired after she spent the past few days on set, so she stayed up late working on her script. She only stopped when she started to feel hungry and quietly made her way downstairs.When she reached the kitchen, she found some bread to nibble on."Why are you eating bread here alone? Are you hungry?" Summer looked up to see Luke standing by the door."Yes." She nodded.Luke smiled and walked in. "Go sit in the dining room. I'll make you some chicken noodle soup.""You know how to make that?" Summer looked surprised."Back when your mom was an actress, her meal schedule was all over the place. It ended up causing stoma
