The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 285
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

Kristen's anger subsided a little, and she became less anxious since Summer wasn't hurt. But as she had calmed down, her rationale returned as well. She started noticing things she hadn't earlier.She pinched Summer's chin and frowned. "What happened to your lips? Why do they look swollen? Emma, don't her lips look swollen?"Emma leaned in for a closer look and nodded. "A little.""It's probably because I bit them too hard earlier when I was questioning that lunatic earlier. I ate some spicy snacks after that as well! It's those," Summer said as she pointed at some snacks on the table.Kristen was still a little suspicious. She didn't think they looked like swelling from eating spice.Summer looked at Kristen. "What else do you think could have happened? Do you think I kissed someone?"Kristen remained silent. She then waved it off. "Alright. Stop messing around. I'm still worried. I'll stay with you tonight.""What?" Summer jumped in fright.It would have been perfectly fine i

Kristen nodded. "Summer, do you think I rushed into my comeback? Should I have prepared myself more?"Summer said gently, "As long as you want to return, it's never too hasty. Don't doubt yourself because of one or two pieces of trash. That's not the attitude of the award-winning actress I admire."Kristen smiled at her words.She had been gone from the industry for too long. On top of that, a lot of unpleasant things had happened before she retired back then. So, she had always been hesitant about making a comeback.If Summer hadn't constantly encouraged her, she might have just backed out."Kristen, it was my fault, too. I never expected so many incidents to happen," Emma said."Alright. Are we really going to let one lunatic make us feel so defeated? Mom, did you already wrap up your script reading?" Summer let out a helpless smile.Kristen shook her head. "There's no way I could have just left you here alone and continued with my script reading after what happened.""There'

"It doesn't hurt at all." Mason shook his head.Summer almost laughed in exasperation. She slumped her shoulders down. "Do you realize you're trapped again? I must have been out of my mind when I said yes to you coming over. I should have expected this to happen."Mason's face was full of regret. "There's nothing we can do about it. I guess I'll have to stay here tonight."Summer coldly looked at Mason, who seemed very amused. "Could you put a bit more effort into your acting?""I'll work harder next time," he answered.Summer looked exasperated, but she actually liked what was happening.Mason looked at her. "Didn't you say you wanted to study? Go ahead. I'll make sure to stay quiet."Summer was speechless.In truth, Mason had a misconception about himself. It was probably impossible for him to stay quiet the whole time. Not long after, he had already shifted closer to her.And after that, the two of them were kissing passionately on the couch. Since Pandora's box was opened,

Mason couldn't have been happier. He didn't sleep the whole night and would kiss Summer every once in a while. He was afraid of waking her up, so his movements were incredibly small and careful.At dawn, Summer's alarm rang. Even though Mason quickly switched off the alarm, Summer still woke up almost immediately.She blinked as she gazed to the side. She was stunned for a moment when she saw Mason, but her memories quickly came to her.She shut her eyes again as she wrapped her arms around Mason's waist. "The dark circles under your eyes are so obvious. Did you not sleep last night, Mr. Hunt?""Yes." Mason nodded.Summer shook her head. "How are you going to survive your probation like this?"Mason was taken aback for a moment. "Does that mean we can spend every night like this during probation?"Summer laughed before she pinched Mason's waist. She got up and whispered into his ear, "Dream on!"Mason was rendered silent. He had been happy for no reason."I need to keep my mom

Mason had never been particularly enthusiastic about food. When he saw Summer happily eating away, he asked with a smile, "Is it good?"Summer nodded. "It is, but there's shrimp inside. You can't have seafood right now. It's bad for your wound.""Alright." Mason nodded.As Summer ate, her mind started to clear up. She suddenly remembered what happened last night."Mason, I'm worried about something," she said."What?" Mason looked at her."I have a feeling that that lunatic coming in to kill my mom last night might not have been an accident," Summer said as she toyed with the taco in her hand."Why do you think so?" Mason asked.Summer looked up at him. "Last night, my mom told me about a crazy fan from her past. The story seemed to match up a bit with what that lunatic said about his father. Do you think it's a coincidence?""If you're suspicious, I'll have someone look into it," Mason said.Summer shook her head. "No, don't. My grandpa has such a close eye on you. He might

"Ms. Hartford, I just saw your message. Is something the matter?" Robin was originally supposed to follow Summer, but after what happened with Henry, Summer refused to allow him to come with her."Have you heard of what happened at the hotel yesterday?" Summer asked."I did. You did very well," Robin praised stiffly.If Summer didn't understand him so well, she would have thought he was giving her a genuine compliment."I want you to look into that person's father. See if his father was that crazy fan who kept on pestering my mom back then," Summer said softly. "You mean the person who sent bloody clothes to Mrs. Hartford?" Robin asked."Yes, him!" Summer frowned slightly. If even Robin knew about it, then it was obvious how much of a mess it had been back then."I know that person. When he was stalking Mrs. Hartford, he did bring a child with him a few times," Robin replied.Summer felt her heart sink."Mr. Cohen, if it's possible, I would like you to look into it as soon as

Summer lowered her head in thought for a moment. "It was just a thought. Don't panic, and don't ask anyone about it. Just act like nothing happened.""Oh…" Emma's voice trembled slightly. "You can tell me if you have any thoughts.""I really don't." Summer waved it off.After being reborn, Summer had lost all faith in anyone else. She didn't even have the courage to put her trust in Emma—Kristen's trusted assistant—so easily.If this matter really was as Summer suspected and there was much more behind this, then it was incredibly serious. So, she decided to wait for Robin's investigation before anything else.In the end, Kristen was an award-winning actress. Her first filming session after making her comeback was done smoothly without any retakes."Cut! Okay! Kristen nailed it in one take!" The director stood up and clapped his hands happily.Kristen looked incredibly relieved as she thanked the staff around her, "Thank you for your cooperation, everyone.""Alright. Bring in th

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
