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.

"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

Summer lowered her head in thought for a moment. "It was just a thought. Don't panic, and don't ask anyone about it. Just act like nothing happened.""Oh…" Emma's voice trembled slightly. "You can tell me if you have any thoughts.""I really don't." Summer waved it off.After being reborn, Summer had lost all faith in anyone else. She didn't even have the courage to put her trust in Emma—Kristen's trusted assistant—so easily.If this matter really was as Summer suspected and there was much more behind this, then it was incredibly serious. So, she decided to wait for Robin's investigation before anything else.In the end, Kristen was an award-winning actress. Her first filming session after making her comeback was done smoothly without any retakes."Cut! Okay! Kristen nailed it in one take!" The director stood up and clapped his hands happily.Kristen looked incredibly relieved as she thanked the staff around her, "Thank you for your cooperation, everyone.""Alright. Bring in th

"Ms. Hartford, I just saw your message. Is something the matter?" Robin was originally supposed to follow Summer, but after what happened with Henry, Summer refused to allow him to come with her."Have you heard of what happened at the hotel yesterday?" Summer asked."I did. You did very well," Robin praised stiffly.If Summer didn't understand him so well, she would have thought he was giving her a genuine compliment."I want you to look into that person's father. See if his father was that crazy fan who kept on pestering my mom back then," Summer said softly. "You mean the person who sent bloody clothes to Mrs. Hartford?" Robin asked."Yes, him!" Summer frowned slightly. If even Robin knew about it, then it was obvious how much of a mess it had been back then."I know that person. When he was stalking Mrs. Hartford, he did bring a child with him a few times," Robin replied.Summer felt her heart sink."Mr. Cohen, if it's possible, I would like you to look into it as soon as

Mason had never been particularly enthusiastic about food. When he saw Summer happily eating away, he asked with a smile, "Is it good?"Summer nodded. "It is, but there's shrimp inside. You can't have seafood right now. It's bad for your wound.""Alright." Mason nodded.As Summer ate, her mind started to clear up. She suddenly remembered what happened last night."Mason, I'm worried about something," she said."What?" Mason looked at her."I have a feeling that that lunatic coming in to kill my mom last night might not have been an accident," Summer said as she toyed with the taco in her hand."Why do you think so?" Mason asked.Summer looked up at him. "Last night, my mom told me about a crazy fan from her past. The story seemed to match up a bit with what that lunatic said about his father. Do you think it's a coincidence?""If you're suspicious, I'll have someone look into it," Mason said.Summer shook her head. "No, don't. My grandpa has such a close eye on you. He might

Mason couldn't have been happier. He didn't sleep the whole night and would kiss Summer every once in a while. He was afraid of waking her up, so his movements were incredibly small and careful.At dawn, Summer's alarm rang. Even though Mason quickly switched off the alarm, Summer still woke up almost immediately.She blinked as she gazed to the side. She was stunned for a moment when she saw Mason, but her memories quickly came to her.She shut her eyes again as she wrapped her arms around Mason's waist. "The dark circles under your eyes are so obvious. Did you not sleep last night, Mr. Hunt?""Yes." Mason nodded.Summer shook her head. "How are you going to survive your probation like this?"Mason was taken aback for a moment. "Does that mean we can spend every night like this during probation?"Summer laughed before she pinched Mason's waist. She got up and whispered into his ear, "Dream on!"Mason was rendered silent. He had been happy for no reason."I need to keep my mom

"It doesn't hurt at all." Mason shook his head.Summer almost laughed in exasperation. She slumped her shoulders down. "Do you realize you're trapped again? I must have been out of my mind when I said yes to you coming over. I should have expected this to happen."Mason's face was full of regret. "There's nothing we can do about it. I guess I'll have to stay here tonight."Summer coldly looked at Mason, who seemed very amused. "Could you put a bit more effort into your acting?""I'll work harder next time," he answered.Summer looked exasperated, but she actually liked what was happening.Mason looked at her. "Didn't you say you wanted to study? Go ahead. I'll make sure to stay quiet."Summer was speechless.In truth, Mason had a misconception about himself. It was probably impossible for him to stay quiet the whole time. Not long after, he had already shifted closer to her.And after that, the two of them were kissing passionately on the couch. Since Pandora's box was opened,

Kristen nodded. "Summer, do you think I rushed into my comeback? Should I have prepared myself more?"Summer said gently, "As long as you want to return, it's never too hasty. Don't doubt yourself because of one or two pieces of trash. That's not the attitude of the award-winning actress I admire."Kristen smiled at her words.She had been gone from the industry for too long. On top of that, a lot of unpleasant things had happened before she retired back then. So, she had always been hesitant about making a comeback.If Summer hadn't constantly encouraged her, she might have just backed out."Kristen, it was my fault, too. I never expected so many incidents to happen," Emma said."Alright. Are we really going to let one lunatic make us feel so defeated? Mom, did you already wrap up your script reading?" Summer let out a helpless smile.Kristen shook her head. "There's no way I could have just left you here alone and continued with my script reading after what happened.""There'
