Author: Good Night
"You… You're Mason Hunt?" Annie returned to her senses and stared dazedly at Mason, forgetting that she'd just been slapped.

"Shut up!" Carol wanted nothing more than to sew her mouth shut.

Summer wanted to act like she was invisible, but that didn't seem like it would work out—Mason was looking right at her. It pissed her off, so she looked up and growled, "What are you looking at?"

Everyone was stunned. The Hartford family was powerful but still couldn't afford to offend Mason!

Just as everyone thought he would get mad, he tilted his head, looking like he was in a good mood. He said, "I feel like I've met you somewhere before."

Summer was lost for words. He was such a drama queen—he was putting on a show!

He asked, "Have you been bullied?"

She muttered, "By her? She's not worthy of that."

Mason's eyes gleamed with amusement at that. Summer fell silent.

Harold immediately stepped forward to say, "Mr. Hunt, this is the heiress of Hartford Group, Ms. Summer Hartford."

  • The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress   Chapter 516

    Today was the official release day of Escape From the Asylum. Hartford Group's gaming platform had already opened pre-registrations a week ago.The number of sign-ups had been impressive, but sheer numbers alone meant little. The real test was in the user experience after launch.Summer was quite nervous, and so was Lindsey.Lindsey hadn't been able to sleep since the night before. Originally, she had planned to go to Summer's place before the game was launched. However, Summer needed to monitor the online data and attend meetings with her colleagues at Eridanus.Since she still kept her true identity a secret from Lindsey, she couldn't let Lindsey come over just yet.However, just before the game went live, her doorbell rang.Summer was on the phone with Mason at the time. "Someone's ringing the doorbell. Lindsey probably came anyway!"She was speaking while she headed to the door. But when she opened it and saw who was standing outside, she was stunned.At that moment, two vo

    Victoria had a sorrowful expression. "I raised Mason with so much hardship… Who would've thought he'd turn against me like this just for the sake of one woman?"Saul lowered his gaze and did not respond to her comment. It felt like Victoria always found ways to bring Summer up, whether intentionally or not."Grandma, you should head back for now. It's better if you don't run into Mason again and end up in another confrontation," he said."Will you be okay on your own?" In truth, Victoria did not want to leave. She still wanted to assert her authority over Mason somehow."I'll be fine," Saul said.Victoria was silent for a moment but eventually chose to leave.After that, Saul made his way to his office.Victoria had said that she spent a large sum to hire a dedicated secretary team for him, and the team had already reported for duty.As Saul entered the vice president's area, the group immediately came up to greet him. After everyone had introduced themselves, Saul walked into

    "You're making the vice president of a prestigious conglomerate handle such insignificant projects? Absolutely not!" Victoria shouted in fury.She understood the reasoning behind it, but she couldn't accept letting Mason call the shots.Back then, if Victoria wanted anyone from the Hunt family to join the company, all it took was one word, and Mason would carry it out without question.Mason replied coldly. "Then, he shouldn't be the vice president. Saul, this is your decision. You choose."Saul glanced at Mason. "You're right. If I'm here to replace you, I have to earn everyone's respect with my own ability."The entire boardroom was in shock.No one had expected Mason to say something like that, and Saul's immediate acceptance of it was even more unexpected."Saul!" Victoria scolded angrily."I accept your assignment," Saul said, ignoring Victoria.Mason nodded slightly. "Then, it's settled. Warren, from now on, you'll assist Saul with the projects under his charge and help

    Mason remained silent and revealed no emotions.At 10:00 am, the shareholders' meeting officially began.By the time Mason walked in, the room was already full.Everyone stood up the moment they saw him and only sat down when he did. No one said a word, but their actions made where their loyalties lay abundantly clear.Mason turned to Saul. "Let me introduce Mr. Saul Hunt. Starting today, he will be replacing Mr. Aspen Hunt's position as the new vice president of the company."The crowd stared at Saul in silence, and Mason looked up slightly.Only then did the room become filled with the sound of polite applause."I have another important meeting this afternoon, so let's get straight to the point." Mason took a sheet of paper from his folder and looked toward Saul and Victoria. He said, "The areas previously overseen by Aspen aren't suitable for Saul, so I've reassigned the departments and industries that he will be responsible for."Kyle and Mason's secretaries quickly hande

    "What are you all doing here?" Mason frowned when he got out of the car."Well, it's not every day Mrs. Hunt Senior comes by…" everyone quickly chimed in.Mason's love for Saul was one thing, but they still had to show Mason proper respect. Also, they needed to make sure they pressured Saul.Mason looked at Victoria and nodded slightly. "Grandma, how's your recovery?"Victoria replied coldly, "Thanks to you, I'm not dead yet. Saul, let's go."Saul hadn't looked at Mason the entire time.Victoria and Saul headed straight into Mason's private elevator.The others merely stood there and watched Mason.Mason walked into the elevator and pressed the close button before anyone else could enter.The elevator began ascending to the top floor."Why didn't you return my calls?" Mason asked Saul, completely ignoring Victoria.Victoria chuckled. "Mason, what have I taught you since you were young? What happened to love between family? Why did you decide to steal Saul's girlfriend?"Sau

    Saul had disappeared for a month.The moment Mason returned to the company, he accepted Victoria's proposal and directly promoted Saul to the position previously held by Aspen. It caused quite a commotion in Royal Financial Group.Even those at the Hunt residence were stunned.Everyone knew that Victoria had brought Saul into the company with the clear intention of using him to challenge Mason. But no one expected Mason to give in without a fight, promoting Saul to a high position right away.Jane told Victoria, "It looks like Mason really cares about Saul. We don't need to worry. Mason will have a hard time once Saul enters the company."Victoria was elated to hear that.When it came to elite society, those who acted out of emotion were destined to fail. That was the unchanging law of those who played this game.This was good. If Mason truly cared about Saul, then Mason's very affection for Saul would be a weapon in Saul's hands when Saul fought for the company later.The tran

    Lionel knew Saul far longer than Summer did. It had taken a lot for the two of them to finally develop a seamless working relationship.Saul's sudden withdrawal was something Lionel found hard to accept. So, he rambled on and on to Summer, venting his frustrations.Summer quietly listened and chimed in now and then, but her thoughts kept drifting.It seemed like Saul meant it this time. Even Lionel wasn't hearing from him anymore. She had no idea what Saul was planning to do next.After finishing his rant, Lionel hailed a cab and headed back, saying he still had work matters to attend to."Ms. Hartford, that illegitimate son of the Hunt family quit the company because of you and Mason, right?" Robin asked on the way home.Summer nodded. "Yes. Mr. Cohen, don't you think this is absurd? How could he just happen to be related to Mason?""The world is full of bizarre things. I mean, back then, I would've never imagined that you and Mason would end up…" Robin trailed off.Summer gla

    Summer paused for a moment before she smiled coldly. "Do you think you're worth that much?"Snow's expression soured even more.It was Summer's turn to ask the questions. "Also, I've been a hot topic online quite a lot recently. Don't youth like you go online? Haven't you seen my photos before? I even did a live stream. Surely I don't look that different from my photos and videos."Snow clenched her teeth tightly. How was she supposed to answer that?Yes, she had seen Summer online before and knew about her. But she didn't want to admit that someone like Summer was the kind of person she secretly envied."I work part-time and rarely go online," Snow answered."Then, that's your problem. So you shouldn't be asking me why I didn't tell you who I was." Summer paused for a moment. "Also, no matter who I am, if you didn't have the intent to hurt someone else, none of this would have happened to you. Understand?"Snow's entire body trembled. She just didn't want to admit that she was

    Stepping out of the director's office, Snow was met with a crowd of onlookers.Snow was quite a notable figure at school, and many people had witnessed her pleading for mercy just now.The way everyone looked at her was already very different from usual. Snow felt as though her dignity had been completely trampled.Humiliated and furious, she ran off.Summer and Lindsey, another specially admitted top student, chatted with the tutors for a while before they finally left."That was too much!" Lindsey was still fuming as they walked.It was supposed to be their once-in-a-lifetime start to their college life, and it had been completely ruined by Snow.Summer lowered her gaze.If someone with an agenda had used this to stir things up, Henry might not have been so easy to fool. Even if he couldn't recognize Mason, there was no way he wouldn't recognize her.She felt a headache coming on."Summer, do you know that woman? It felt like she was targeting you specifically!" Lindsey sai
