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

"Right in the trash can ahead." Emma pointed outside.Summer nodded and started walking toward it. Emma was stunned for a moment before she grabbed Summer's arm. "You don't have to go that far. We can just buy some flowers if you like them. They've already been thrown in the trash.""It's fine. I don't mind." Summer pulled her arm free with a smile before she walked out.As soon as she stepped outside, Summer saw the trash can. However, the trash can was completely empty. There wasn't a single flower inside.Summer licked her teeth as her gaze darkened."Huh? Where did the flowers go?" Emma followed her out at that moment, and she was stunned to see the empty trash can.Looking around, there was a group of paparazzi lurking outside the set, waiting to take pictures.Emma frowned. "One of the paparazzi must have taken the flowers! They're so annoying!"Summer smiled. "It's fine. If someone took them, then at least they're being useful. I only wanted to take them back to avoid

"After Mrs. Hartford married into the Hartford family, Mr. Hartford entrusted me to deal with that man," Robin explained."Deal with him?" Summer was a little confused.From what the lunatic said last night, his father should still be alive."I didn't kill him. I just gave him a large sum of money and sent him back to his hometown. He was admitted to a local mental hospital and was kept there until last fall when he finally passed away from illness," Robin answered."How about the other one?" Summer asked."His name is Donny Finn. He's been a loner since he was a child. No one knows who his mother is, but he's definitely his father's biological son. Actually, he's always been mentally stable. There was never any news of mental illness, and he's made a living in his hometown through farming and odd jobs."When he turned 20 years old, his family introduced him to a possible wife. It's one of the women he killed," Robin said.Summer lowered her gaze and gently tapped her fingers ag

Vincent barked impatiently, "Hold on! Who said I'm afraid of Mason? As long as you give me proof that this whole thing was caused by Summer, I'll make sure I pay back what's owed. I don't care whose sweetheart she is!"Rosanna's lips curled up into a smile. "Alright. I'll send you a recording right away."Yes, Rosanna had recorded Mason's words when he threatened everyone at the Hunt residence.Summer had no idea she had been pulled into the Hunt family's internal war. On the way back, she saw an old woman selling flowers by the roadside.It was already getting late, and there were still many unsold flowers in the basket the old woman carried. It was gardenia season at that moment, which seemed like what that old woman was selling.Summer said, "Stop here. You can drive back first. I want to take a walk.""Ms. Hartford, it's getting late," the driver, Paul West, said uneasily.After Summer got out of the car, she told Paul to drive back and get off duty. After that, she went over

After Chandler finished speaking, he didn't even spare a glance at the stunned Aspen. He turned around and stormed out."Chandler!" Rosanna panicked and ran after him.Chandler jumped into a sports car and sped out of the house."Follow Chandler quickly! Don't let him look for Mason!" Rosanna shouted at the security guards.After that, she ran back inside. "Aspen, how far are you going to push me and Chandler? Kristen has never liked you! It's been more than 20 years, and you're still willing to hurt us for her sake?" Aspen was already overwhelmed by everything that was happening with Kristen. The moment Rosanna brought up Kristen again, his anger exploded.He shouted, "Kristen this, Kristen that! That's all you ever talk about! It's been over 20 years! I've had enough of you! Look at what kind of disaster this has turned into, and you're still thinking of fighting Mason? Do you think your brain is capable of that?"After that, Aspen stormed out of the house as well.Rosanna s

As long as Chandler could get into the upper ranks, wouldn't everything else be easy?Unfortunately, that idiot Chandler had followed his useless mother's lead and completely ruined himself."Could you treat your son a little better? Why don't I see you shouting at Mason like this?" Rosanna snapped.The more Aspen looked at her, the more disgusted he felt."If you ask me, the real culprit here is Summer!" Rosanna changed the topic.She knew very well that Mason was beyond her reach, but Summer came from a small no-name family. She refused to believe she couldn't do anything to Summer."Shut up!" Aspen finally exploded.Rosanna flinched in shock. "Aspen, what are you yelling at me for?""Rosanna, I'm warning you. Do not touch Summer! Why are you trying to provoke Mason like that? Have you forgotten what he said in the morning?" Aspen asked in anger."Mason actually admitted to being involved with Summer at the residence?" Chandler's expression changed drastically.Aspen nodded

Summer thought for a moment. "Probably not anytime soon. I'll head over a month early. That should be enough.""Alright, then. I'll get back to my sketches. Don't worry about that stuff online. They were all praising how awesome you are!" Lindsey said."Alright," Summer said before she hung up.In the end, Summer still ended up going online to look at what people were saying about her. It was pretty much as Lindsey had said. Most of the comments were positive.Of course, there were a few trolls claiming she'd bought her way onto the trending list or faked her exam scores.Summer ignored all of that.It actually felt quite surreal. In her past life, her public image had been awful—so much so that even a casual mention of her online would draw a wave of public ridicule.After her rebirth, it was the same time period, the same Internet, and maybe even the same people. Yet, the name Summer Hartford had gone from something everyone spat on and trampled over to an object of admiration

Summer took the phone from Emma. Not only was she trending, but she was even the hottest trending topic at that moment."Lindsey, something just came up. I'll call you later," Summer said.She hung up the call and turned to Emma. "Weren't the sets cleared when we filmed that scene? How did these photos get leaked?"She paused, then flipped to the next photo. "This one was a photo of me sitting here."Emma said, "I've already told the production team. They said they'll investigate, but with how many people are coming in and out of the place, it's hard to prevent leaks. The amount of attention you're getting is crazy. I checked the data, and your engagement rate is higher than some top celebrities."Summer said seriously, "I don't need this kind of attention. Please talk to the production team again. If they leaked this as promotional material for the show, then make sure it's the first and last time."Summer didn't want too much exposure to the public eye. On some level, it wasn't

Because of how Summer had stepped in to help last time, most of the employees on set had taken a real liking to her. The moment they saw her, they greeted her warmly.When Summer found Kristen, Kristen was in the middle of a shoot."Summer, did you bring something tasty again?" Emma caught a whiff of the food and hurried over."I made some egg muffins, and our housekeeper made some soup for my mom as well." Summer handed a box of egg muffins to Emma. "This is for you.""Thank you, my lady!" Emma immediately took the box and shared it with a few other staff members. The muffins were gone in a flash.Meanwhile, Emma found a quiet corner to sit in. She started to work on her script as she waited for Kristen to finish.Coincidentally, one of the assistant directors, who frequently fed gossip to certain online accounts, was getting antsy. He had a scheduled scoop due but couldn't find anything worth leaking. When his gaze fell on Summer, quietly sitting in a corner, a lightbulb lit up

"Mom, what are you planning to do about that girl from the Hartford family?" Rosanna seized the moment to bring it up, clearly wanting Violet to know about Summer's existence.She said, "Mason's clearly fallen for her, and Summer isn't exactly easy to deal with. I'm afraid she'll try to do something to Ms. Fridman if she finds out."Victoria frowned.Jane chimed in, "Rosanna, she's just barely become an adult. Don't you think you're being a little too paranoid? I know you had bad blood with her mother back in the day, but it's really not right to talk about her daughter like that.""Jane, what's that supposed to mean? I'm just looking out for your niece's best interests! Why did you have to bring up my past?" Rosanna snapped.Jane looked a little confused. "I'm just stating a fact. Why are you being so defensive? I even heard that Summer topped the SAT scores in our region this year. How could a child like that be like what you're describing? Besides, everyone's heard about the gr

"Violet!" Jane immediately stood up to greet her.Rosanna rolled her eyes at the sight.Jane came from a better family than her and was pretty and good at putting on an act. Victoria favored her a lot.This time, when it came to finding a match for Mason, Rosanna had recommended quite a few of her own relatives. Victoria had rejected them all, but her eyes were instantly set on Violet.Rosanna had seen Violet's photos before, and she had to admit that she was beautiful. But she always thought it was edited.Yet, when the real person appeared, she was even more beautiful than the photos. Rosanna's expression instantly darkened."Aunt Jane," Violet greeted Jane before she turned to the Hunt family and smiled apologetically. "I'm really sorry, everyone. My flight was delayed. I'm truly sorry for making everyone wait."Victoria seemed to like Violet a lot. "We're all family here. There's nothing to be sorry about. Come on. Sit beside me. Mason, come over, too."Mason's expression r

"That heiress of Hartford Group, Summer Hartford. Don't you remember how Mason almost beat Chandler to death? It was all because of Summer!" Rosanna had been a shadow of her former self ever since she had been thoroughly defeated by Mason.The whole world knew she had been ousted from Royal Financial Group's board. After getting out of prison, she had never even stepped out of the house once. She was afraid of being backstabbed by those who had put on fake smiles in front of her in the past.The rest of the room was shocked. "Hartford Group? Mason, what's so special about the daughter of some small-time group?""That's right! I remember that woman. She's so tacky, and she always appears in those strange magazines.""Mason, Xena was a genius pianist. If you're going to find someone new, you should at least find someone on her level."Rosanna felt much better seeing everyone show such disdain for Summer. How could anyone who that bitch Kristen gave birth to be worth anything? Summer
