The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 299
"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

"Summer, look at me!" Rose Sanderson grabbed Summer Hartford by the hair, yanking the latter up from the ground. She forced Summer to stare at her.Summer was as thin as a stick, her cheeks gaunt. In the deep of the winter, all she had on her was a thin layer of filthy mental institution patient robe. Like a zombie, she was unresponsive to Rose's actions.Clearly, Rose was unhappy at Summer's lack of response. After six years of meticulous planning, she had finally crushed Summer. She would not be happy until she witnessed Summer in despair."You're dying. Don't you want to meet with Grandpa?" She flashed a malicious smile.The mention of her grandfather finally elicited some response from Summer.Rose clutched Summer's hair with a look of excitement and glee. She hauled Summer to the front of a curtain like she was dealing with the carcass of an animal. Then, she drew back the curtains.Behind the curtain lay an emaciated old man with multiple tubes attached to his body. He seem

"No!"Summer jolted awake from the excruciating pain of being burned alive."What's wrong, Summer?"A familiar face loomed before her. Rose?Summer's eyes wavered. Something wasn't quite right. It had been years since she saw Rose looking barefaced and innocent.She scanned her surroundings quickly and froze. It seemed she had returned to the day before her 18th birthday—six years ago. On that day, Rose took her to a bar to celebrate her birthday.She stared down at her hands, expecting to see them wrinkled and wounded, only to find them looking fair and smooth.It dawned on her that she had traveled back to the start of her tragic life."I've gotten you a glass of lemonade from the bar. Take some lemonade. You'll feel better." Looking concerned, Rose handed Summer a drink.Summer stared at the drink as chills traveled down her spine. In her past life, she recalled blacking out after taking that drink.When she pieced together fragments of her memories, she recounted being

Summer hadn't expected to run into Mason right after she was reborn. The thought of Mason running into the fire to hug her at the final moments of her life made her chest tighten. Pain crashed through her body.Wait a minute. Did Mason walk past the bar street on that fateful night in her past life?She assumed he had heard about the incident because her nudes caused quite a stir back then. If Mason had already fallen in love with her at that time…A wave of pain rolled through her. She stopped herself from thinking further. The footsteps outside slowly receded.Letting out a relieved sigh, Mason loosened his grip on Summer's mouth. Gazing down with a frown, he removed her cap. "Ms. Hartford?"This was the second time Summer heard his voice. He had first addressed her in the fire, saying to her, "I will never leave you alone again."His voice was low and melodious, like an instrument.Staring up at Mason, all she could think of was Rose's cruel remarks during her final moments

Mason had put on a totally different demeanor by now. He looked intimidating and unapproachable. Anyone would freeze in his presence.Without taking a look at Summer, Mason barked a cold command at the man, "Send her home." Then, he entered a Maybach at the forefront of the motorcade.The inconsistency of his behavior confused Summer. Before this, he was cheerful and seductive around her. Why did he act like they were strangers now? Did he suffer from some sort of dissociative identity disorder?"Miss, mind sharing your home address?" the burly man respectfully inquired Summer.She politely turned him down. "It's fine. I'll get a cab home.""That won't do. Please have mercy on me and don't put me in a tight spot. I need to obey Mr. Hunt's orders. If I don't see you home safely, I might as well be damned!" The man put on a serious look.Feeling speechless, Summer deliberated for a bit before entering the car. Firstly, Mason would not harm her. Secondly, it was unsafe for a woman t

Rose received a call from Anthony when she was in the shower.Anthony's family was in the hardware supply business. Although he wasn't considered one of the wealthiest guys, he was at least good-looking and ambitious. Rose was quite fond of him and picked him to carry out her plan of taking over Hartford Group.His call sent her into panic mode. She knew him too well. He'd definitely turn up his nose at her if he found out she had been gang-raped!Rose decided to keep it a secret from Anthony. She quickly regained her composure and answered his call in a coquettish manner, "Anthony, have you found Summer?""She's back at the Hartford residence," he replied grimly. "I lost touch with that hooligan I hired."Of course, he couldn't get in touch with that hooligan because that guy had snapped his SIM card in half in front of Summer."How did that happen?" Rose's eyes were filled with shock. She thought she had spiked Summer's drink with a strong dosage. Summer couldn't have possibly

"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

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.

"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

"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

"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
