Summer played with her fingers on the way home. "Why did Mason Hunt come to my school, Mr. Cohen? Did he buy it?"That was the impression she had of Mason. He could acquire a company that day, buy a factory tomorrow, and merge with another company the day after that. That was pretty much what she thought of him."I didn't hear anything related to it, but I already have someone on the case," Robin answered."Don't tell Grandpa about Mason coming to school. I don't want him to get mad again," she said.Robin hesitated. "Do you know Mason Hunt, Ms. Hartford?"She hurriedly shook her head. "Of course not. Where would I have met him?""That's good." He looked relieved. "His situation is complex—his whole family wants him dead. I heard he used to have a fiancée who was his childhood sweetheart. She died a horrible death."If he could say the death was horrible, it had probably been horrific beyond imagination.Summer frowned slightly. She'd never heard of Mason having a fiancée. She

Ivan had come out on the losing end against Summer, which had humiliated him. He'd long since held a grudge against her because of it.Initially, he'd thought that she would do horribly in the finals because she usually performed poorly. That would give him the perfect excuse to criticize and punish her.He wanted to prove that it didn't matter how powerful Hartford Group was. What could the Hartfords do if Summer ended up being punished because of her bad grades?He didn't expect her to be stupider than he'd thought. She'd cheated so blatantly that it was impossible to miss. She'd served herself to him on a silver platter!…The weather was getting hotter. During the first class after lunch, the students all looked like they were ready to doze off. At that moment, Ivan entered the classroom with the test papers in his arms."What's he doing here? Aren't we supposed to be having Anglorian now?" one of the students murmured.Ivan stood at the front of the class and slammed the pa

There it was—everyone in the class knew what Summer's grades were like. Ivan didn't need to say anything else to make them realize how unbelievable her final results were."I have nothing to say. Those are the marks I should've gotten," Summer said.Everyone was stunned."The marks you should've gotten? Through cheating, you mean?" Ivan was furious when he saw how obnoxious she still was. He dropped his sarcasm and pointed at her while berating her."You've gone too far, Summer. Even if you wanted to cheat, you should've done it in moderation. Do you think everyone's a fool like you? How is it possible for you to score almost full marks for everything?" Becca snorted."Do you have anything to prove I cheated, Mr. Sutton?" Summer was as calm as ever. It was as if even the sky crashing down wouldn't affect her."Is proof even necessary when you've cheated to this extent?" Ivan roared. "I know you have bad grades, but will cheating resolve that? Is it going to get you anywhere?""W

"Mr. Sutton!" Just then, Harold's voice came from outside the classroom.Ivan immediately turned to see a group of people standing outside. He didn't know when they had arrived, but Harold was looking at him with a hideous expression.Ivan hurried to him. "I was just dealing with the student who cheated during the finals, Mr. Green.""I just heard her say she didn't cheat, though." Harold wasn't the one who spoke. Ivan looked in the direction from which the voice had come. He was so scared that his knees knocked together when he saw who it was."M-Mr. Hunt…" he stammered."Mr. Hunt? Which Mr. Hunt is he talking about?""Oh, my God! It's Mason Hunt!"The students were abuzz. Meanwhile, Summer was lost for words. Was Mason intending to become a student at the school? It was already his second time there, and he seemed to show up whenever someone tried to cause her trouble."You don't understand the situation, Mr. Hunt. Ms. Hartford has always been the worst student in the y

"I don't need it." Summer shook her head.Lindsey looked more anxious than she did. The earlier punishment Ivan had mentioned was already bad enough. It would only become more severe if Summer did badly the second time.Just then, Becca approached them. "Do you know Mason Hunt well, Summer?"Summer glanced at her. "No.""As if! He helped you out last time, and he's doing it again this time…""Curious, aren't you?" Summer shut her comic book and looked at Becca."I just wanted to find out a little more…" Becca faked a smile.Sometimes, Summer admired people like her. They'd been in a fight just a couple of days ago, yet there she was, trying to gossip with her.She pointed upstairs. "You can go ahead and ask him about it."Becca's smile froze. "Fine, then. Be that way! It's not like I really wanted to know!"She stormed off.Lindsey asked in a small voice, "Was that man from earlier someone really powerful?"Summer bit off a mouthful of bread. After some thought, she said, "

The seconds ticked, and the sky slowly darkened. Summer maintained a pace of completing one paper in an hour, handing each one out once she'd completed it. Then, the teachers from other years would grade them.The first paper was for math—she scored full marks. The second and third papers were also given full marks.Ivan broke out in a cold sweat when he saw the results of the graded tests. His clothes were drenched—he looked like he'd taken a soak in the tub.By the time Summer got to her fourth paper, the sky had turned completely dark. It was long past the time school let out, but none of the students had left. They were all waiting for a result.As the news of Summer scoring full marks for each paper spread, everyone started getting excited. The papers ultimately ended up before Mason. His heart softened at the sight of the neat yet cute handwriting. It looked like she'd grown up to be intelligent yet adorable, as he'd hoped.The fourth paper was on Anglorian. Summer had two p

Summer quickly returned to her senses and backed out of Mason's arms. "Sorry. I didn't notice anyone coming this way.""Your grades are exemplary," he said."They're not too bad. I need to head back for dinner, so bye." Everyone was watching them—she didn't want the whole world to start gossiping about her and Mason.He didn't stop her from leaving. Instead, he wondered whether the stuffed roast duck tasted that great. Why else would she be in such a rush to leave?"Mr. Hunt!" Just then, Harold hurried down the stairs with the school board members behind him.The gentle look on Mason's face immediately disappeared. He turned to leave after saying, "This matter ends here."Harold ran after him. "About the investment for the new campus…""You should deal with the issue of your unethical teachers first," Mason said emotionlessly.Harold stopped and watched as he left. Then, he turned and roared, "Where is Ivan Sutton? Tell him to get the hell over here!"…Summer had no intentio

What did Summer mean by asking what Rose was doing there? That was her home, too, wasn't it?"I heard you got punished for cheating," Rose said loudly. She sounded like she wanted the whole world to know about it."Who'd you hear about it from?" Summer continued walking."It's all over the school forum!" Rose exclaimed. "I accidentally let it slip before Grandpa, so he's really angry now. Still, with how much he dotes on you, I'm sure everything will be fine as long as you admit your mistakes and promise you won't do it again. Don't be stubborn!""Did you only see the news about me cheating, Rose? You didn't read about what happened after that?" Summer asked.That took Rose aback. "What happened after that?"Summer acted like she'd only just remembered what had happened. "Oh, right. Mr. Green forbade everyone from discussing the matter."Rose gave her a baffled look. She couldn't understand how Summer could be dumb enough to cheat so blatantly yet look completely unashamed now.

"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

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

"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

"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
