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

"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

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

"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

"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?

It was probably because of the bullying Summer had suffered in school before.She wasn't worried about Henry doing anything extreme, so she didn't bother to stop him. She would consider it a lesson for those school bullies.Kristen and Luke had left a bit earlier.After Henry left, Summer was left alone in the living room to eat breakfast. It didn't take long for the class chat group to start buzzing."I heard that Mr. Sutton got arrested.""Apparently, he was riding as part of a motorcycle gang at night and injured someone really important!""I heard it was because he embezzled a lot of money.""No matter what, it's good to see that scum got caught. My parents had to give him so many bribes every year.""My uncle's friend works at the police station. He said that Mr. Sutton was brought into the station in a completely bloody mess. It was a miracle he was even alive."Summer sipped on her milk as she scrolled through the messages leisurely. She still remembered how Ivan looked

Summer had an indifferent look on her face.Rose got up to leave, but she stopped after taking a couple of steps. She said in a low voice, "If Mason said something to you, then I'll say it again. No matter what, you have to believe me. "Mason is the kind of person that was just born a crook, so don't expect him to have genuine feelings for you. In the end, everything he does is just for Hartford Group."With that, she walked away.Summer's fingers brushed the edge of her glass of milk. She wondered if Mason's ears were ringing from being talked about so much in the morning.Rose stormed out of the door in a huff.Anthony's expression seemed to be very unpleasant as well. The two of them seemed to know not to speak to one another.As Rose headed toward the garage, her gaze landed on Luke's car that was parked inside.It might be because of her anger. It might also be because she thought that things would be much easier for her if Summer lost those two helpers. Or it might even

With a rare free time, Summer finally logged back into the hacker website after being absent for several days.Her actions from a few days ago had caused a huge stir in the community. If she continued her challenges, she would be going up against the god-tier players on the top two of the leaderboards. To make sure no one missed the spectacle, the website even introduced a notification system to track people going online. So, as soon as Summer logged in, the previously dimmed-out avatars on the website rapidly lit up."I've been waiting for you!""Are your exams over? Did you do well?""I've been waiting for days to witness this battle of titans. I'm so happy I could cry."Summer looked at the endless comments that were pouring in from all over the world and leaned back into her chair. Her fingers were lightly tapping on the desk.People who worshipped skills and technical prowess were both the easiest people to deal with in the world and the hardest.As long as you were more

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? Was there

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

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
