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.

"Sorry to disturb you at this hour, Mr. Green. My family has heard about Mr. Sutton falsely accusing me of cheating, and they're very worried. Could you please explain the situation to my father?" Summer asked. She then handed her phone to Luke.He took it, his brows tightly furrowed. "Good evening, Mr. Green…"The seconds ticked, and Luke's expression became increasingly grim. He occasionally glanced at Summer. He hung up once Harold had explained everything."What did he say?" Henry asked sternly. "Did someone at school try to frame Summer for this?" Though he didn't believe Summer could score that well, he also didn't believe she would cheat."Summer didn't cheat, Dad." Luke's brows unfurled, and he beamed. "She really scored full marks for four subjects and close to full marks for the other two!""Really?" Henry perked up.Kristen had acted like none of this was her business, but she now looked pleasantly surprised. "How did that happen?""This has never happened at our sc

"It's okay since you didn't actually affect Summer's studies. She's done great this time, hasn't she?" Luke turned to look at Summer sternly. "You can't do this anymore, okay? If you really mean well for Rose, you should work with her and help her improve. What you've done now is not the right way to tackle this. "Do you understand?""Oh… okay." Summer nodded obediently. "Can we eat now that everything has been explained? The stuffed roast duck smells amazing, and I'm starving.""Yes, let's hurry up and eat. Look at the time—I don't want you to get any gastric issues because of this. Phoebe!" Henry called."You're here too, Anthony." Summer finally spared Anthony a glance."I came along since I was free." Anthony put on a gentlemanly act."Really? I don't think that's the case." Her gaze traveled between him and Rose suggestively. "You and Rose are dating, right?"Her words were akin to a bomb being detonated. Anthony immediately paled, and Rose looked at her in horror."That'

Rose's actions startled Anthony. "What are you doing? Summer's already suspecting us. Open the door!"Why would a male tutor and a female student lock the door during a lesson? Wasn't that an obvious sign that there was something between them?"Look at how worried you are about what she thinks. When has she ever mattered to you?" Rose sneered."What nonsense are you spouting?" Anthony lowered his voice.She suddenly lost her mind and pushed him to the desk before kissing him forcefully."Rose Sanderson!" He shoved her away. Disgust had washed over him the moment her lips met his—he was reminded of how many other men had kissed her in the past."Have you fallen for Summer? Your eyes were gleaming when you were complimenting her earlier. Were you afraid I wouldn't see it?" Rose snarled."Have you lost your mind?" Anthony growled. "Didn't you say the plan was to make her fall for me as soon as possible? How is that going to happen if I don't show her I'm interested in her?""As if

After Phoebe left, Anthony texted Rose so that no one would overhear them. "Has she noticed something?"Rose was a little disdainful of Phoebe. "That's just what she's like. She's always sarcastic and mocking when it comes to me."Anthony glanced at Rose. He wrote, "If we're proceeding with the plan, we can't delay what we talked about any longer. You can make the necessary arrangements since we're with her right now."She frowned. She had a feeling that Summer was genuinely uninterested in Anthony, so it looked like there was no chance of making her fall in love with him. And if they were to make her end up in bed with him…Based on Rose's understanding of the Hartfords, they wouldn't force Summer into being with Anthony if she didn't like him. It didn't matter whether or not she'd slept with him.She thought about how obnoxious Summer had been earlier as well as Kristen's and Luke's displeasure with her. Her hatred for them intensified."We're in no rush," she replied. "Let's w

Kristen had tried hard to recall the past. She remembered Summer's personality changing after Rose had come to the Hartford family.She also recalled telling Summer to be nice to Rose when the latter had just arrived. "Rose is a poor thing because she's lost her mom and dad, Summer. You have to be nice to her and care for her, okay?""Okay." Summer had nodded.Kristen didn't remember having a heart-to-heart with Summer since then. They walked along the path, eventually reaching the main road outside the manor."We've come really far. Look at how we're already outside." Summer glanced behind them."Let's just head inside from the front, then." Kristen pointed ahead. "Your father and I always take this path when we come out for a stroll.""Okay." Summer nodded. Just then, out of the corner of her eye, she saw a black car parked on the other side of the road. There seemed to be someone inside. For some reason, she had the urge to find out who it was."What's wrong?" Kristen followe

Most of the time, Summer was the one who communicated with Lindsey about the character designs.Summer and Lindsey had similar artistic tastes. When it came to the character drafts, what would have normally taken a month only took a week to complete.Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, Power Construction's bidding event arrived.Summer arrived at the company early in the morning."What are you doing here?" Lionel asked. He was in charge of the project, and Saul, who wasn't involved, was absent."I'm just coming with you guys to watch the drama," Summer said."Does anyone from Power Construction know you?" Lionel asked."I'm just going to wear a hat and observe. It's no big deal," Summer said."Alright, then. Let's head over!" Lionel called over two other programmers from the company and headed right to the bidding event venue. Power Construction might not be a major corporation, but its platform had decent traffic. Even if it was put together on short notice, plenty

Kyle panicked. "What? How could you not say anything? The situation isn't like the rumors at all! What if Ms. Hartford misunderstands? She has such a strong personality. She's definitely not someone who will just settle for less."Kyle's impression of Summer wasn't particularly good or bad. Those few days on the island actually changed his opinions of Summer a lot. At least right now, he couldn't think of anyone else in high society who was worthy of Mason—only Summer.The most important thing was that Mason clearly liked her, too. But the fiancée situation was like a ticking time bomb.He had been worried about it since they left the island. Sure enough, something happened after just a few days.Mason said proudly, "You're underestimating the future Mrs. Hunt too much. Summer's not the kind of woman you think she is."After that, Mason walked away.Kyle stood in place, completely baffled. "What does that mean?"He didn't explain anything, but he still seemed so happy?

Because of the huge success of After School, Eridanus had already gained a solid reputation in the industry.Summer said, "Good work. Is the date set yet?"Lionel replied, "It is. On the 6th of next month."Summer did the math. "Today's already the 29th, so isn't that just next week?""It is. Thankfully, this bid was a last-minute notice anyway. They have a good impression of us, so there weren't any roadblocks," Lionel said.Summer smiled. "Your friend helped, didn't he?"Lionel chuckled. "He really wants this deal to go through, too."Summer lowered her gaze. "Then, we might end up disappointing your friend.""What?" Lionel exclaimed."This bid is going to cause a direct conflict between two similar projects," Summer said slowly."Don't worry. I've already arranged everything. We'll crush them on the spot for plagiarism!" Lionel declared.Summer was silent for a moment. "That department was set up by Anthony's father-in-law to promote him. Even if we expose them and win th

"She just felt sorry for her sister," Summer mumbled.The phone call that morning, and the woman on the other end…She had been just as emotional as the little sister in Phoebe's story.Who knew what kind of mess would follow?Phoebe shook her head. "You shouldn't kill anyone even if you feel sorry for your sister! Alright! Now eat your chicken. I simmered it for hours.""Phoebe, have you ever heard any rumors about Mason Hunt?" Summer suddenly asked.Phoebe was shocked as she lowered her voice. "Ms. Hartford, you can't mention that name in this house!"Summer laughed. "Grandpa isn't around. Didn't he save me last time? I'm quite curious about him.""Don't be." Phoebe's expression carried a look of warning. "Wait. Mason is incredibly handsome, and you've always liked handsome people. Oh, my God, Ms. Hartford! Could you have fallen for him? You can't. Anyone else is fine, but you can't fall for Mason!""What's wrong with Mason?" Summer asked.Phoebe looked determined to snuff
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 364
Summer could more or less guess the story.Mason's fiancée's sister had probably woken up from her vegetative state. She probably couldn't accept the deaths of her family and refused to accept that Mason had fallen for someone else.Summer hated trouble. Normally, with her current personality, she wouldn't even have spared this complicated situation a second glance and fled.But it was Mason. She owed him her life, so how could she flee?On top of that, she didn't want to run, either."I'll give him a chance. If he manages to deal with the situation, then we'll continue. If he doesn't, then I won't get caught up with it. The lessons from my past life were more than enough!" Summer said to herself.When she got home, the others were not back yet.Summer had dinner with Phoebe. As they ate, Phoebe chatted about the neighborhood gossip as usual. "I heard something unbelievably dramatic while I was out buying groceries today.""I love drama!" Summer immediately said."I knew it!

In the work group chat, the preparations for the project that Anthony had stolen for bidding were almost complete.Summer and those seven experts had revised and optimized the original structure greatly. Basically, the improved version was far superior to the original.Anthony had the audacity to try and poach people from the company? Then, she would make sure to crush him at the bidding meeting.The new computer was soon assembled. After the store employees loaded it into the car, Summer brought Lindsey to buy the best drawing tablet available.Finally, Summer dropped Lindsey back home.After the new setup was installed, Lindsey tested it out. It was night and day compared to her old setup. "Summer, I feel so happy!"Summer curled up on the couch, feeling her eyelids drooping down from exhaustion.She wasn't planning on leaving yet.Because…Lindsey received a message from Lionel. "It's here! What do I do now, Summer? Lionel wants me to design a mental asylum-themed poster."

"Are they like this every day?" Summer glanced back.Saul answered, "Pretty much. You seem a bit distracted today."Summer was taken aback for a moment. "Do I?"Saul pointed to her eyes. "Yeah. They usually sparkle brightly, but they seem a bit dim today."Summer felt a strange heaviness in her chest.She smiled. "It's probably because I didn't sleep well last night. I had a burst of inspiration and ended up working on the script until past 5:00 am."Saul could tell that Summer had something on her mind."You gave me great advice with my brother last time. It really helped me ease my relationship with him. So, if you have anything on your mind, you can always consider sharing with me. I might be able to help you," Saul said warmly.Summer sighed helplessly. "I don't know what to say. It's a bit complicated, so let me sort it through myself first.""I'm always here to listen," Saul said and smiled.Summer smiled back.They finished their tour and returned to the main hall whe

Summer didn't seem to care at all. "Maybe we'll run into him again."Saul didn't understand what she was trying to say. "What?"Summer shook her head. "Let's keep looking around."Saul led her through the peripheral development area before heading into the core development zone. The atmosphere there was entirely different from the outside.The place was packed with top-tier talent from all over the world, and all of them had their own quirks.At Eridanus, Summer allowed them to embrace all their quirks. Which meant the core development area looked a bit like a zoo.The moment she stepped inside, she saw a pink corn snake coiled around a man's head, flicking its tongue at her. That man's desk even had a glass tank on it. There was a massive spider inside that definitely looked venomous.Summer wasn't easily scared, but seeing so many creatures around definitely gave her goosebumps.As she walked further in, she spotted a few adorable cats, but to prevent the cats from pouncing o

Saul frowned slightly. "Go check out the merchandise department first. I'll take a look.""I want to see what's happening, too," Summer said as she headed toward the HR department.She had just heard someone mention a Mr. Lawson, after all. And it was a Mr. Lawson from across the street, too.Another gaming company in the same industrial park. Surely it wasn't the same guy that she knew?"You're being unreasonable! You skipped work for three days straight, and HR deducted your pay according to company policy!"As soon as Summer arrived, she saw a woman working in HR, on the verge of tears, being berated by a burly man with a square face."What's going on? Why are you making such a scene at the company?" Saul's tone was sharp."Director…" The young woman was about to speak.But that square-faced man cut her off and raised his voice. "Mr. Hunt, I sent an email to HR yesterday about increasing my salary, but they said you rejected it. Is that right?""You've only been in the indu
