The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 54
"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

The car's white headlights lit the road up.Summer's back hurt like hell. She didn't know whether the attack had broken any bones. She stared at the light. For some reason, it made her fear dissipate.The black car turned around and rammed the motorcyclist as they approached. He was sent flying before crashing to the ground.Kristen cried out in fear and used her body to shield Summer. The latter's face was ashen from the pain, and cold sweat drenched her forehead. She leaned against Kristen's chest and said softly, "Mom… we're safe now.""Huh?" Kristen didn't understand that.Just then, the car door opened. A tall man got out of the driver's side and ran to Summer. "Are you okay?"Kristen was startled when she saw him. "Mason Hunt?"Summer said, "Forget about me. Don't let that bastard get away!"Mason was upset when he saw how much pain she was in. "He's not getting anywhere!"With that, he reached out to lift her into his arms, not caring that Kristen was right there.Summ

Kristen told Henry what had happened. He listened with furrowed brows before asking Mason, "Why were you hanging around outside our house in the middle of the night?""I was in the area," Mason answered. "I stopped for a break because I was tired."Henry glared at him. He was deeply prejudiced against Mason, so his suspicions weren't diminished."Dad…" Luke started helplessly."Where's the bastard?" Henry switched subjects. "Where's the bastard who injured my precious Summer?""He's been captured, and his leg has been broken. He was howling from the pain, so Robin left him in the yard," Kristen said."How can a broken leg be enough to make up for this? His neck has to be snapped to compensate for Summer's injury!" Henry snarled. He turned to head to the yard.Meanwhile, Anthony looked uneasy. His brows were tightly furrowed as he looked at Rose, who stood beside him. He wondered whether she'd been the one dumb enough to do this.Rose sensed his eyes on her and mouthed, "It wasn

Once the man lost his helmet, he quickly tried to hide away, but Robin gave him a kick. "Why are you hiding? Do you finally feel shame?"When the man tumbled back into sight, everyone finally had a good look at his face. Rose was the first to recognize him. She gasped, "Mr. Sutton?""Who again?" asked Henry with a deep frown."He's our homeroom teacher—Ivan Sutton," Summer explained word by word.Kristen, who recognized Ivan as well, approached him. "How could this be? You're my daughter's homeroom teacher. You've just accused her of cheating in her exams, and we haven't settled that matter with you. How dare you ambush her at our door?"Ivan panicked. Summer was vindicated after the results of the evening exam were released. After that, Harold angrily met with Ivan, telling him that Mason might pull back investments in the new school district all because of his actions. Harold had forced Ivan to meet up and apologize to the Hartfords.Since Ivan didn't want to lose his job—w

"Are we… even that close?" Puzzled, Summer questioned Anthony, putting him on the spot.The smile froze on his face.Arms crossed, she took a step back. "Anthony, do you have a crush on me or what?" Scanning him from head to toe, she sneered. "If that's true, you should target someone else. You're nowhere close to my ideal type. I'm not into gentlemen, but Rose is." Anthony's expression stiffened. "Summer, there's a misunderstanding here. I'm just amazed at your intelligence and your academic performance, and I would like to befriend you.""I will never be friends with Rose's boyfriends." She shrugged, sending a wave of panic through Anthony.He tried to explain himself, but Phoebe, rushing down the stairs, interrupted them by exclaiming, "Ms. Hartford, you're up!"Anthony clenched his jaw and held his tongue. Ignoring him, Summer approached Phoebe with a smile. "What's for breakfast?""All your favorite dishes!" Phoebe gave Anthony a side-eye. "Mr. Lawson, why are you here?

"You should stop Summer if you knew she'd hurt me!" Rose panicked. The last thing she wanted was to be "exiled" to a foreign country. Who knew what drastic change would happen to Summer when she was not around?"Rose Sanderson, you're the one who made a mistake here. If Summer wants to hurt you because of it, you only have two options—run away or bear with it." Kristen was unusually stern. "It's my job as Summer's mom to protect her. Not only did I not take it out on you, but I even offered you the chance to study abroad for your mother's sake. Do not test my limits!"Her last remark drove a knife into Rose's chest. "It's my job as Summer's mom to protect her"—these impactful words repeatedly played in Rose's mind. For the longest time, Kristen was nice to Rose and cold to Summer to the point where Rose nearly forgot that Kristen was first and foremost Summer's mother."Got it." A long silence later, Rose stopped crying. She wiped away her tears and stood up."Please hand the l

It took Rose a while to wrap her head around the situation. Staring at Kristen in disbelief, she whimpered, "Aunt Kristen, why… Why did you slap me?""You know very well why I slapped you," barked Kristen."Is it because I have my suspicions about Summer?" Sobbing, Rose questioned, "Can't I even suspect her? I didn't even tell a soul about it except you. How is that wrong? Do you expect me to bring it to my grave?""Enough!" Kristen would not have it anymore. "Rose, do you take us for fools?"Rose cried and cried. "I have no idea what you're talking about!"Kristen took a deep breath to calm herself. "Remember that time a classmate called you to tell you that it was Summer who hired the men to assault you? Write down his name and his contact number."Taken aback, Rose swiftly shook her head. "But he truly cares about me! I will never tell on him!""Is that the truth, or is it because that alleged classmate did not exist in the first place?" Kristen coldly pressed on. "I've looke

"Dad, Mason Hunt is a busy man. He has no time to pull that off," Luke dismissed Henry's wild guess in exasperation."Let's make a bet. I bet Mr. Sutton will disappear before he even arrives at the police station!" Henry put on a serious face. "If that's the case, we can confirm that Mason was behind this, and I won't go easy on him!"Summer sighed softly at Henry's hostility toward Mason. Still, Mason wouldn't have volunteered to send Ivan to the police without a good reason. She suspected that Ivan might not survive to see another day.…Late at night, Mason emerged from an alley while wiping his hands with a flat expression.Kyle was waiting for him by the car. When he showed up, Kyle opened the car door for him.Mason stepped into the car and ordered, "Find every single one of the people in this recording."Head lowered, he sent an audio recording to Kyle. Kyle grunted. "Sure!""Get someone to send that thing in the alley to the police." A cold glint appeared across Mason

Luke said sternly to Rose, "Talk normally. Get up."Henry still looked upset, but he didn't say anything harsh. He commanded Rose in a heavy tone, "Write down the names of Summer's bullies that you know of!"Rose agreed immediately, "I'll do that right now!"Kristen interjected, "I'll go with you."Seeing Rose sniffling, Kristen comforted her, "Stop crying."Rose sobbed and nodded before leaving the living room with Kristen.Meanwhile, Summer whispered to Henry, "Grandpa, don't be mad. I promise I won't do that anymore. No one has been bullying me at school these days.""That's because Robin has been dropping you off and picking you up every day!" Luke reminded her gruffly.Henry seemed heartbroken. "I should have made Robin do that from the start!""Mr. Cohen is capable of more, so he shouldn't be driving me around." Amused, Summer reassured Henry, "Trust me, Grandpa. I'm really good at handling the bullies now."In Henry's eyes, Summer was a fragile girl who had to be prote

Summer's chest tightened. The rage and pain in Henry's eyes reminded her of the time he protested against her decision to marry Anthony. She seemed to have traveled back to that moment in her past life."I'm sorry." She nearly suffered a breakdown. Clasping Henry's hand tightly, she promised, "I will not do that again. I was wrong. Grandpa, I'm sorry."Henry teared up as well. He was a strict father to Luke. Having never raised a daughter, he was a little flustered when he welcomed the birth of Summer. Staring at the wrinkly baby, he wondered how to raise her right.Later, he learned that a girl should be raised in the best environment so that she wouldn't easily fall for those who promised her good things. Keeping that in mind, he offered Summer the best of everything.Hence, he was devastated to learn from Ivan that Summer was bullied in school. He realized he had failed to protect the poor girl."You're the heiress of Hartford Group. How could a girl with that background get bu

"Are you talking about the bullying?" asked Summer.Rose's face was fraught with anxiety. "Summer, it's not that serious. Everyone's just fooling around. Downplay it later—you don't want to get everyone's parents involved. "You knew how much Grandpa loves you. I can't imagine the lengths he would go to for you."Summer smiled at Rose. "So, you're worried about our classmates. I thought you would be more worried for yourself. Grandpa might blame you for keeping the truth."Rose's face was drained of color. That was her main concern for sure. She couldn't care less about the fates of Summer's arrogant bullies at school.She was more worried the Hartfords would look into the school bullying. What if they found out about her involvement—that she had often gathered girls to bully Summer?She would be done for!"Didn't I tell you to keep it a secret from Grandpa?" whispered Rose. "Don't spew nonsense later. Grandpa, Uncle Luke, and Aunt Kristen looked at me differently after your sli

"Who did it?" Henry was utterly incensed. He grabbed Ivan by the collar and lifted him up from the floor.Although Henry looked kind, he was a tough nut, which was how he built his business empire.Ivan was intimidated by him. Still, he gathered his courage and tried to negotiate with Henry, "I will tell you if you promise to let me off the hook!"Henry did not reply. He stared intently at Ivan, sending a shiver down the latter's spine.Moments later, Henry said to Ivan, "You attacked my granddaughter, ignored her pleas for help, and protected her bullies. Do you think I will forgive you? I will learn about the bullying, even if you didn't tell me."With that, he shoved Ivan onto the floor hard. Ivan grimaced when his broken leg collided against the decorative rocks in the yard.Henry entered the house with a sullen face. He briefly glanced at Rose, making her tremble.Although Henry was nice to her during her stay at the Hartford residence, she had heard a lot of tales about

"Don't—" Ivan's panic deepened when Summer showed him no mercy. Yet, she had left.He scrambled over to Henry. "Mr. Hartford Senior, believe me when I say it was a bad decision. I was angry at Summer because she's been giving me trouble at school. That's why I lost it and acted on my emotions. "Please forgive me. I've been her homeroom teacher for years. I'll do anything for your forgiveness!""You should consider yourself lucky that I didn't beat you up after you hurt my granddaughter. How dare you ask for my forgiveness?" Henry sneered as Ivan became increasingly nervous.Suddenly, Ivan noticed Rose, who was standing on the side. "Rose, I have been good to you. Speak up for me! I made a mistake."Rose nearly rolled her eyes at him. She wasn't that dumb to speak up for him, especially when Henry was shaking in anger.Henry bellowed, "No use getting anyone to speak up for you! Robin, get him out of here! What an eyesore!"Robin went forward, grabbed Ivan by the collar, and drag
