Chapter 288

Author: Good Night
"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

    "I'm going to the set. I have a feeling that if the issues with the props hadn't been discovered in time, it would have affected my mom," Summer answered.Mason lightly patted her head and looked down at her. "Don't rush it. If you ask about it and alert the mastermind, it would spook them. I'll have one of my men do it."Summer calmed down thanks to Mason's reassurances."Okay." She nodded.Mason gently caressed her cheek before he made a call.While they were waiting for the news, Summer couldn't sit still at all. She rushed over the moment Mason's phone rang.The one who called was the person Mason sent to look into the props at set B, so he put the phone on loudspeaker. "Mr. Hunt, I asked around. The problem was with a massive crystal chandelier. When I casually mentioned that it was good that no one was hurt, one of the crew members told me that the chandelier would have been over Kristen's head if they had gone on with filming."Summer gritted her teeth tightly.So, it

    Donny cried out in a panic. "No, don't go! She's a good person. She wouldn't hurt you! You must be mistaken.""She".Summer stopped and turned to look at Donny. "Who is she?"Donny averted his gaze and shook his head frantically. "I can't tell you. All these filthy people are trying to hurt her. I won't tell you no matter what." "Alright. Then, I'll ask you a different question. When did you get to know her? Was it before or after your father died?" Summer asked coldly.Donny was much more helpful this time. "It was when my father was sick. She sent money over for the treatment and even helped bury my father."Summer's heart sank yet again.Kristen had only planned her comeback since last summer, and Summer had only recently found out about it.If this woman had been secretly plotting against Kristen all this time, she was likely one of the first people who knew that she wanted to make a comeback.Or that person didn't care about whether Kristen was making a comeback or not.

    "Mr. Hunt, what probation period?" Kyle suddenly appeared out of nowhere just as Mason was lost in his thoughts.Mason remained silent, but the look he gave Kyle was practically enough to kill.Kyle immediately stood up straight. "Don't worry. I'll definitely take care of the future Mrs. Hunt!"Kyle had some understanding of Mason.Mason had a death stare just now, but the moment Kyle mentioned "Mrs. Hunt", Mason's expression softened greatly.Mason instructed, "Keep a close eye on this Kristen affair. Make sure Summer isn't hurt.""Understood. I'll do my best!" Kyle responded.Mason cast him a glance before he got into another car.He had deliberately put things on hold for two days at Royal Financial Group to let some uneasy individuals stew in their own anxiety. Now, it was time to pull up the net.Summer returned to the hotel and met the director, who was just about to go have dinner, in the lobby."Mrs. Hartford, did you go out for some fun?" the director, Joshua Hanz, g

    Kyle had gotten visibly tanned. He glanced at the wailing men and snapped, "Shut up! Keep crying, and I'll cut off your tongues!"At that moment, Summer rushed inside."Ms. Hartford," Kyle greeted politely.Summer nodded at him. "Was it these two?"Kyle nodded. "Yes. You two, tell Ms. Hartford exactly what you did."One of them said, "Someone told us they had a grudge against the production manager and wanted to delay filming. They gave us some money to tamper with the chandelier a little. We just wanted to delay the filming. We didn't mean anything else!"Summer said coldly, "So, you were just supposed to delay the filming? If the production manager hadn't noticed something was off, he wouldn't have been worried and ordered a recheck of all the equipment. If the filming had continued as planned, the chandelier would have been hanging over my mom's head."She sneered. "Then, if the chandelier with the tampered rope fell, my mom would have died on the spot! Is this what you call
