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

"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

"What kind of person? Describe him to us. We might have seen him around," Emma said.Summer looked at the six staff members in the room. All of them were Kristen's closest people."He was chubby, short, and had narrow eyes," Summer said.She quickly swept her gaze around the room, taking note of everyone's reactions.Emma thought for a moment before she asked the others, "Have we seen someone like that around?"The others shook their heads after some thought. "There are so many crew members. We were mainly at set A today, and he might be from B."Summer looked away. "Alright, then. It's not that important. What's important is that we enjoy our dinner!""You really just latch onto one thing after another." Kristen laughed helplessly.Summer laughed as well. After that, she lowered her gaze and slowly started to eat.The dinner table was very lively, but Summer didn't really say much. She would only chime in on occasion.Then, when it was past nine, Summer excused herself to

The hotel where Summer and everyone else was staying had viewing balconies on each floor.At this hour, the balconies were practically empty. A figure was pacing anxiously in a corner. She seemed to be trying to call someone, but the other party wasn't answering."It's already so late. Who are you calling?" At that moment, a cold voice was heard behind that figure.The person was startled and quickly turned around. "Summer, didn't you go back to your room to rest? Why are you here?""I'm out catching ghosts," Summer said slowly.Lily's face paled a little as the corner of her lips twitched. "Is this some new game you young people are into? I don't really understand them, but you go ahead and play. I'm going back to my room to sleep."Just as she was about to lower her head and leave, Robin came in from the entrance with a few bodyguards and blocked the exit."Summer, what's the meaning of this?" Lily frowned.Summer glanced at Lily's phone. "It's already so late. Who are you ca

"No! You can't touch my children!" Lily said in a panic."Then, tell me who that man is. Where is he right now?" Summer demanded.Lily froze.After a brief internal struggle, she said, "His name is Xander Flint. We met at the airport two years ago when I went for a charity event abroad with Kristen. After we got to know each other for a while, we started dating.""How much have you told him about my mom?" Kristen asked."Not much. I've never told him anything private. At the most, he would occasionally ask a curious question, but that's really rare. They were mostly insignificant!" Lily seemed eager to defend Xander.She continued, "He works in rehabilitation therapy for autistic children. He's a really good person. Ms. Hartford, you must be mistaken. He would never try to harm Kristen.""Where is he right now?" Summer asked coldly."He's been busy the past few days, and I have been, too. We haven't really contacted each other. He didn't answer me when I tried to call him just

However, no matter how well one covered their tracks, they would still leave a trace behind.Summer quickly pinpointed the last known signal from the phone number. It was on the island.Summer sneered. "His girlfriend is here, but he's not answering her calls or meeting her, even though he's around. That pretty much confirms it's him."Robin had a dark look on his face. "Lily said earlier that they had never taken a picture together before because the man said he had some trauma from being photographed. He also avoided meeting her in public places, so even finding surveillance footage of him will be hard.""Love really does make people blind. Lily is a smart, career-focused woman, but she wasn't suspicious at all that he was so secretive," Summer said."Or she could be in this from the start," Robin answered.Summer shook her head and dismissed it. "Lily has children. Back then, she nearly gave up everything for the sake of winning custody. Even if it's just for her children's sa

Everything was done through digital payments nowadays, but Xander never used any mobile payment methods or cards. He would pay in cash wherever he went. Just think about it. Who only used cash in this day and age?Setting aside those who didn't know how to use digital payments, then only those who were afraid of leaving a digital trail refused to use digital payments.There was also the fact that he practically never brought her to any public places for dates. Most of the time, they would just watch movies at home. Sometimes, he would drive her out to the countryside on a road trip.Lily felt that it was because Xander was romantic at first, but thinking about it, there were so many holes in his explanations.The more Lily thought about it, the more scared she got.At daybreak, she immediately asked to see Summer.When Summer went to see her, Lily handed Summer a picture of Xander that she had sneakily taken."He was incredibly careful. Even when we would sleep together, I wou

Summer smiled.Then, the two of them headed to Kristen's room.After having breakfast together, the group left according to the schedule and headed straight to the set.Since there were some mishaps on set B yesterday, Kristen had to shoot an additional scene to make up for the lost progress.The set was bustling with crew members, and outside, there were loads of paparazzi lurking. Just looking at it all gave Summer a headache.Robin's men, as well as Mason's men, had all blended into the crew with some clever disguises.Summer had already ordered them to carefully check all of the props that day, so at the very least, there shouldn't be any issues with that.As the filming began, Summer stood in place, focusing all her attention on Kristen.She had already memorized the information of all of the actors that were appearing in Kristen's scenes that day. Every time she looked at someone, she would immediately recall their details.After over an hour, that nerve-wrecking scene w

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
