"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

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

"You're not allowed to leave!" Joe shouted loudly. He threw down the marker and lunged toward Summer.Suddenly, a chair flew in from outside, striking Joe on the back. "Joe!" Marge shrieked.Everyone looked at the greenhouse entrance in shock.Terrence was there, dressed as impeccably as usual. His hair was neatly styled with gel, and there was the faint scent of cologne lingering in the air.He walked in lazily with his hands in his pockets. "What are you doing? Do you know where this is? How dare you mess with my little friend?"Summer was speechless.Little friend? Was something wrong with him?"Terrence, what are you doing here?" Gloria was dumbfounded."Good afternoon, Gloria." Terrence tossed out a casual greeting.At that moment, Joe recovered. He scrambled up from the floor and shouted as he charged at Terrence.Terrence was someone who was trained in martial arts. There was no way he would lose to a high school student.Before long, Terrence had Joe pinned under h

The greenhouse had been in complete chaos. In the end, no one knew what Joe crashed into, but he fainted."Mrs. Dincht, I came to your ridiculous gathering out of respect for you, and you just let your family's bastard child treat my son like that? From now on, our families have nothing to do with each other!" Marge, pointing at Gloria, shouted before she left.After that, she didn't bother waiting for a response as she stormed out in a rage.Gloria shut her eyes and took a deep breath before she turned around and slapped Terrence. "Are you insane? Do you even know who you just hit?"Her ring cut across Terrence's face, causing him to bleed.Terrence looked down at her. "I'm a full-grown man. Do you think you can hit me?"He said, "You know exactly why you called the two from Hartford Group over, along with this group of people. Summer is the official heiress of Hartford Group. If that lunatic had actually hurt her just now, do you think you could deal with Hartford Group's wrath

Gloria changed into a clean outfit before she went to the living room.In the living room, the ladies were still talking about Joe. Compared to the past, the conversation would have always revolved around Summer."I'm so sorry for the fright all of you had," Gloria said with a placating smile."How could we blame you for that? Who could have guessed that Mrs. Dunn's so-called golden boy was a lunatic?" Lanie waved it off.At that moment, her phone suddenly buzzed. She casually picked it up and tapped on the screen. After that, she let out a shriek as she tossed her phone away."What happened?"The others were startled as well."Someone sent me a ghost picture!" Lanie's face was filled with shock.The phone happened to land in front of Summer. She picked it up and said, "Mrs. Jones, are your eyes playing tricks on you? There's no picture."Everyone carefully looked over as well.Sure enough, there was no picture."Mrs. Jones, what's going on? We were already spooked by that l
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 329
"Surely it's not that serious." Summer looked at Lanie with sympathy and concern."What kind of nonsense are you saying?" Lanie seemed shaken herself. She even started to doubt whether Summer had spoken to her at all.A trace of anger flickered in Gloria's eyes. This should have been a happy gathering for everyone, but it turned strange just because Kristen brought Summer along.What exactly was Summer doing?Lanie eventually muttered, "That might be it. Whatever. Let's just forget about it and eat."She didn't even bother apologizing to Summer as she lowered her head and headed to the dining area.Summer had a slight smile on her lips. Since Lanie liked to joke around so much, she decided to show Lanie what a real joke looked like.At the dining table, everyone took their seats. The aroma of food slowly eased the tension that had hung in the air.Just as Gloria was about to get everyone to start eating, Terrence arrived. "Gloria, is there a seat for me?"Gloria had never spok

Gloria had simply been furious at Terrence. Kristen's cold tone suddenly snapped her back to her senses.She said apologetically, "Oh, dear, just look at my big mouth! Summer is still young. It's too early to talk about these things anyway. Let's change the topic and talk about something else."Like that, the conversation shifted.Summer had her head lowered and was looking at her phone the whole time, not sparing Terrence a glance at all. After all, she already had her puppy at home.Terrence couldn't get her attention no matter what he did.They had left in a hurry today, so Summer never even thought that this place was Terrence's home. Strictly speaking, it wasn't really his home anyway.Back then, Robin had looked into it. Apparently, Gloria utterly despised Terrence. There were even rumors that Terrence had lived here as a child for two months. In the end, he was forced to leave because Gloria had broken three of his ribs.After briefly thinking about Terrence, Summer shift

"Yeah, I already took care of it. Why are you losing your mind over it now?" Scully asked impatiently."Look at what I just sent you!" Lanie shrieked.There was some rustling on the other end, followed by an angry outburst. "You have a perfectly good life, so why are you trying to stir up trouble for no reason? Are you crazy?" After that, he hung up.Lanie was caught completely off guard. She knew Scully quite well. There was no way he would react like that if he saw the photo on the news. She quickly reopened the link. The news page had changed into the picture of a clown with nothing but a line of text. "Just a joke. Don't take it to heart.""What the hell is this?" Lanie was so terrified that she threw her phone aside and started slapping the seat, urging the driver to drive away.After Lanie left, she naturally became the new topic of gossip."Edited, she says. Please, I saw that picture two years ago. I just don't know why the media decided to bring it up again.""Doe

Most of the time, Summer was the one who communicated with Lindsey about the character designs.Summer and Lindsey had similar artistic tastes. When it came to the character drafts, what would have normally taken a month only took a week to complete.Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, Power Construction's bidding event arrived.Summer arrived at the company early in the morning."What are you doing here?" Lionel asked. He was in charge of the project, and Saul, who wasn't involved, was absent."I'm just coming with you guys to watch the drama," Summer said."Does anyone from Power Construction know you?" Lionel asked."I'm just going to wear a hat and observe. It's no big deal," Summer said."Alright, then. Let's head over!" Lionel called over two other programmers from the company and headed right to the bidding event venue. Power Construction might not be a major corporation, but its platform had decent traffic. Even if it was put together on short notice, plenty

Kyle panicked. "What? How could you not say anything? The situation isn't like the rumors at all! What if Ms. Hartford misunderstands? She has such a strong personality. She's definitely not someone who will just settle for less."Kyle's impression of Summer wasn't particularly good or bad. Those few days on the island actually changed his opinions of Summer a lot. At least right now, he couldn't think of anyone else in high society who was worthy of Mason—only Summer.The most important thing was that Mason clearly liked her, too. But the fiancée situation was like a ticking time bomb.He had been worried about it since they left the island. Sure enough, something happened after just a few days.Mason said proudly, "You're underestimating the future Mrs. Hunt too much. Summer's not the kind of woman you think she is."After that, Mason walked away.Kyle stood in place, completely baffled. "What does that mean?"He didn't explain anything, but he still seemed so happy?

Because of the huge success of After School, Eridanus had already gained a solid reputation in the industry.Summer said, "Good work. Is the date set yet?"Lionel replied, "It is. On the 6th of next month."Summer did the math. "Today's already the 29th, so isn't that just next week?""It is. Thankfully, this bid was a last-minute notice anyway. They have a good impression of us, so there weren't any roadblocks," Lionel said.Summer smiled. "Your friend helped, didn't he?"Lionel chuckled. "He really wants this deal to go through, too."Summer lowered her gaze. "Then, we might end up disappointing your friend.""What?" Lionel exclaimed."This bid is going to cause a direct conflict between two similar projects," Summer said slowly."Don't worry. I've already arranged everything. We'll crush them on the spot for plagiarism!" Lionel declared.Summer was silent for a moment. "That department was set up by Anthony's father-in-law to promote him. Even if we expose them and win th

"She just felt sorry for her sister," Summer mumbled.The phone call that morning, and the woman on the other end…She had been just as emotional as the little sister in Phoebe's story.Who knew what kind of mess would follow?Phoebe shook her head. "You shouldn't kill anyone even if you feel sorry for your sister! Alright! Now eat your chicken. I simmered it for hours.""Phoebe, have you ever heard any rumors about Mason Hunt?" Summer suddenly asked.Phoebe was shocked as she lowered her voice. "Ms. Hartford, you can't mention that name in this house!"Summer laughed. "Grandpa isn't around. Didn't he save me last time? I'm quite curious about him.""Don't be." Phoebe's expression carried a look of warning. "Wait. Mason is incredibly handsome, and you've always liked handsome people. Oh, my God, Ms. Hartford! Could you have fallen for him? You can't. Anyone else is fine, but you can't fall for Mason!""What's wrong with Mason?" Summer asked.Phoebe looked determined to snuff

Summer could more or less guess the story.Mason's fiancée's sister had probably woken up from her vegetative state. She probably couldn't accept the deaths of her family and refused to accept that Mason had fallen for someone else.Summer hated trouble. Normally, with her current personality, she wouldn't even have spared this complicated situation a second glance and fled.But it was Mason. She owed him her life, so how could she flee?On top of that, she didn't want to run, either."I'll give him a chance. If he manages to deal with the situation, then we'll continue. If he doesn't, then I won't get caught up with it. The lessons from my past life were more than enough!" Summer said to herself.When she got home, the others were not back yet.Summer had dinner with Phoebe. As they ate, Phoebe chatted about the neighborhood gossip as usual. "I heard something unbelievably dramatic while I was out buying groceries today.""I love drama!" Summer immediately said."I knew it!

In the work group chat, the preparations for the project that Anthony had stolen for bidding were almost complete.Summer and those seven experts had revised and optimized the original structure greatly. Basically, the improved version was far superior to the original.Anthony had the audacity to try and poach people from the company? Then, she would make sure to crush him at the bidding meeting.The new computer was soon assembled. After the store employees loaded it into the car, Summer brought Lindsey to buy the best drawing tablet available.Finally, Summer dropped Lindsey back home.After the new setup was installed, Lindsey tested it out. It was night and day compared to her old setup. "Summer, I feel so happy!"Summer curled up on the couch, feeling her eyelids drooping down from exhaustion.She wasn't planning on leaving yet.Because…Lindsey received a message from Lionel. "It's here! What do I do now, Summer? Lionel wants me to design a mental asylum-themed poster."

"Are they like this every day?" Summer glanced back.Saul answered, "Pretty much. You seem a bit distracted today."Summer was taken aback for a moment. "Do I?"Saul pointed to her eyes. "Yeah. They usually sparkle brightly, but they seem a bit dim today."Summer felt a strange heaviness in her chest.She smiled. "It's probably because I didn't sleep well last night. I had a burst of inspiration and ended up working on the script until past 5:00 am."Saul could tell that Summer had something on her mind."You gave me great advice with my brother last time. It really helped me ease my relationship with him. So, if you have anything on your mind, you can always consider sharing with me. I might be able to help you," Saul said warmly.Summer sighed helplessly. "I don't know what to say. It's a bit complicated, so let me sort it through myself first.""I'm always here to listen," Saul said and smiled.Summer smiled back.They finished their tour and returned to the main hall whe

Summer didn't seem to care at all. "Maybe we'll run into him again."Saul didn't understand what she was trying to say. "What?"Summer shook her head. "Let's keep looking around."Saul led her through the peripheral development area before heading into the core development zone. The atmosphere there was entirely different from the outside.The place was packed with top-tier talent from all over the world, and all of them had their own quirks.At Eridanus, Summer allowed them to embrace all their quirks. Which meant the core development area looked a bit like a zoo.The moment she stepped inside, she saw a pink corn snake coiled around a man's head, flicking its tongue at her. That man's desk even had a glass tank on it. There was a massive spider inside that definitely looked venomous.Summer wasn't easily scared, but seeing so many creatures around definitely gave her goosebumps.As she walked further in, she spotted a few adorable cats, but to prevent the cats from pouncing o

Saul frowned slightly. "Go check out the merchandise department first. I'll take a look.""I want to see what's happening, too," Summer said as she headed toward the HR department.She had just heard someone mention a Mr. Lawson, after all. And it was a Mr. Lawson from across the street, too.Another gaming company in the same industrial park. Surely it wasn't the same guy that she knew?"You're being unreasonable! You skipped work for three days straight, and HR deducted your pay according to company policy!"As soon as Summer arrived, she saw a woman working in HR, on the verge of tears, being berated by a burly man with a square face."What's going on? Why are you making such a scene at the company?" Saul's tone was sharp."Director…" The young woman was about to speak.But that square-faced man cut her off and raised his voice. "Mr. Hunt, I sent an email to HR yesterday about increasing my salary, but they said you rejected it. Is that right?""You've only been in the indu
