The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 397
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

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

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

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

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

"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

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
