"Where did you even hear all this?" "The sources are reliable, I swear!"Just as they were chatting away, a cool voice came from behind, "Oh? Is that so?""What the heck?" Turning around, they laid their eyes on the exact woman they had just been gossiping about."Ms. Hartford, what are you doing here? If you're looking for the restroom, it's that way." A curly-haired woman, Peggy Sue, was the one who had sworn her information was credible. Her lips twitched awkwardly. "So, tell me. Where did you hear all this? I'll help you verify whether the information is reliable or not," Summer asked slowly."Ms. Hartford, she said it! We had nothing to do with it…" the others hurriedly said."It's not what you think! I was only joking around. There are plenty of ridiculous rumors around. Please don't take it to heart," Peggy blurted out, glaring at the others. They were all just happily listening to her gossip just now, but they were so quick to throw her under the bus when something hap

"If I really did make a scene, we'd be on the front page of the news tomorrow. I even thought of the title for them, 'Heiress to a Financial Empire Has a Mysterious Background. Online Rumors Claim that Grandpa is Actually Dad!'" Summer shrugged.Luke couldn't help but laugh at that."By the way, I said I'd sue that lady who kept on saying I cheated on my SATs at the Dincht residence that day. So far, it just looks like all talk and no action. Dad, could you help me sort it out?" Summer asked sweetly."Alright. I'll have the legal team draft the paperwork tomorrow," Luke replied."Dad, you're the best!" Summer exclaimed."Alright. I'll go over to your mom. You should keep Grandpa company." Luke ruffled Summer's hair.Summer agreed, and they parted ways.When she got back to the car, Henry was already snoring. She pulled out her phone and saw a missed call from Mason.Then, she remembered what Luke said that afternoon.After some thought, Summer sent him a message. "I'm with Gra

That night, Janice got drunk again.Anthony received a call and rushed over. Seeing her in such a state, Anthony knew he couldn't let her go home. So, he brought her to a hotel.Janice grabbed his collar and demanded, "Anthony! When the hell are you going to finish your damn game? You said you'd get revenge on Summer! Now look at her. She's the top scorer! She's an heiress! And look at me!""You're doing fine. So, you should really stop drinking," Anthony said.Janice was very pretty, and she had a great figure, too. Anthony was never exactly a gentleman. With her clinging onto him like this, something in him snapped."Let me go!" Janice started to struggle.But Anthony had no intention of letting her go. They were already engaged anyway. No matter what happened, what could Janice possibly do to him?…The next morning, Janice woke up with a splitting headache.

Summer stayed up all night writing her script. She had only slept for two hours before her alarm rang.That morning, she needed to take Lindsey to Eridanus. It was a good excuse to check out the company as well. She hadn't been there since it opened. She picked up her phone to see a message from Mason. Hesitating for a moment, she decided to give him a call.The phone rang for a while before someone answered."I was up all night writing a script and didn't check my phone. I just woke up," Summer mumbled."Who are you?" A woman's voice was heard on the other end."Cynthia, give me the phone!" came Mason's voice."Mason, you have another woman now? My sister died because of you, and you've moved on to another woman?" the voice shouted.After a shriek, the call was cut off.Summer's drowsiness vanished instantly. As she sat on her bed, she suddenly had the absurd feeling like she had been caught cheating."Ms. Hartford, are you up?" Phoebe asked outside her room after she sat o

"So you're with Eridanus." Anthony smiled. His expression seemed warm, but Summer could feel the disdain and arrogance underneath it.Anthony was always like that. He always put on an act in front of everyone."Yes." Saul nodded."I've met your representative, Mr. Simmons, before." Anthony was clearly trying to hint to Summer that a marketing director wasn't anything special.Saul nodded with a smile before he asked Summer, "Have you had your breakfast? Do you want me to get my assistant to buy some for you?""I had my breakfast at home," Summer answered."That's good. It's quite hot outside. Let's talk inside," Saul said.Summer nodded. Then, she brought Lindsey right into the building.Anthony stood in place with his fists clenched tightly after being ignored like that.He had heard quite a lot about Eridanus lately. Eridanus was working with Hartford Group, so he immediately jumped to the conclusion that Saul was aiming for Summer because of Summer's status. He was using th

"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

Summer lowered her gaze. "That's wonderful. I hope I can have a husband as good as Dad in the future."Henry said firmly, "You definitely will. I'll keep an eye out for you. Any bad man won't even get close. I'll beat them away with a big stick!""Alright!" Summer grinned, linking her arm through Henry's.A vague memory resurfaced at that moment. Back then, Henry adamantly refused Summer's marriage to Anthony. He really had tried his best to chase Anthony away, just like he said. In the end, Summer was the one who let herself down."I'll definitely listen to you, Grandpa. I won't want anyone that you say is no good," she promised.Henry patted the back of Summer's hand. "You are the best granddaughter I could hope for. Don't be in a rush to find a husband. We're not like other financial conglomerates, marrying off their children just to strengthen business ties."When you choose a husband, the only thing that matters is whether he treats you well, loves you, and whether you lov

"He's always flying around everywhere. Isn't that normal?" Henry scoffed.Luke suddenly dropped his serious demeanor. "There's a small rumor. Do you still remember his fiancée who passed away unexpectedly?""Didn't you just mention her?" Henry didn't seem inclined to interrupt Luke."Well, that accident took a lot of lives, including her family members. I heard her sister was seriously injured and ended up in a vegetative state. Mason sent her overseas for treatment. I'm guessing his sudden trip has something to do with that," Luke explained.Henry frowned.After a long time, he said, "Luke, I'm starting to think you have way too much free time lately."Luke was confused."Do you even have the time to dig up gossip?" Henry's gaze turned serious."Dad, it's not what you think. Dad, we're still at the company. Don't do this, Dad! Summer, save me!" Luke cried out.Just like that, the father and son pair started chasing each other around the office.Summer sat on the couch. She d

Henry was one of the earliest entrepreneurs of his generation. Back then, society wasn't so disorganized. Veteran businessmen also valued morality and ethics.But Summer knew very well that ethics was easy to talk about nowadays, but only contractual agreements truly mattered."I understand what you mean, Grandpa. That's why I said we should retain the right to claim damages. When it comes to reputation risks, it refers to scandals that harm societal values or severe product issues that cause major harm to users," Summer patiently explained.After a pause, she said, "If that happens, it's entirely their fault. There's no need to talk about ethics with people like that."Henry was deep in thought for a moment. "You're right."Summer said, "That's why you should just add the clauses. Even if you don't do it now, I'll add them when I take over Hartford Group anyway."Henry looked at Summer and feigned anger, gently patting her arm. "You little brat, are you threatening me now?""I'

"Alright! I won't disturb you anymore. Have fun!" Henry was clearly flustered.He had called just to see if Summer was home or not. Ever since that morning, the possibility of Summer being in a relationship had popped into his head, causing him to feel uneasy."I'm already out. I'm heading home now." Summer paused for a moment. "Are things busy at the company? If they aren't, I can pick you all up after work.""Great! Come over!" Henry replied.Then, he hung up.Summer drove right to Hartford Group.Ever since the security guards and the reception failed to recognize her the last time, both departments had undergone emergency training. So, this time, the moment she got out of her car, a security guard rushed up. "Ms. Hartford, welcome!"Summer was startled. "There's no need to be so formal."The security guard acted like he didn't hear her as he followed closely behind her and even pressed the elevator button for her.Summer looked helpless, but she couldn't refuse him, either
