"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

Summer had been meaning to find some time to build a portable computer she could use on the go. It was the perfect opportunity for her to get it done.While most people would head to the regular electronic stores for this, hackers had their own specialized markets. The components that Summer needed were only available there.In the outskirts of the city, where the towering skyscrapers were all gone and replaced with a chaotic layout of aging, self-built villages, Summer arrived.Since it was pretty far away, she had rented a car and driven over herself.Before she stepped out, she put on a baseball cap and a face mask. Then, she walked through a street filled with brightly colored hair salons until she reached the entrance of the market. After she descended to the basement, a dazzling, colorful new world appeared.Some of those people inside were obviously programmers at a glance, while there were even some who had brightly colored hair with multiple piercings on their ears and li

"Alright," Summer agreed, and Lionel left with a laugh.In his mind, Summer was probably just working for a skilled expert. He didn't think there was any way that she came up with those components herself. But he had no reason to turn profit away.After half an hour, he finally put everything Summer wanted in front of her. "It's all here. Take a look."Summer carefully inspected each item and pulled out the graphics card. "Are you blind? This isn't what I wanted."Lionel froze for a moment.Summer raised her head and looked at him. "It might just be one letter off, but the difference is immense."It was a common trick that both smaller and larger stores pulled. Most people wouldn't be attentive enough to notice the difference.When Lionel heard what Summer said, the smile on his face vanished, and he started to look at her seriously as well.Could she really know her stuff?"The runner must've made a mistake. I'll go exchange it for you myself," he replied."Thank you," Summe

Summer's casual remark brought a brief silence to the crowd before they started cheering again.Lionel grinned and took off his broken glasses. "It looks like you're quite bold. Since you're already here and we've got an audience, how about a friendly spar? I know a bit of everything, too.""What are you thinking?" Summer asked.She had always suppressed her competitive side, but now that she had let loose, her blood was boiling. There was no way she would say no to a challenge.On top of that, it was a good chance to set up a diversion for that Nono guy.Saul squeezed through the crowd and finally saw Summer sitting in front of the computer.She was wearing a baseball cap, so he could only see her side profile. Her complexion was very fair, and the shape of her nose and her smile made her seem like a beautiful lady."Who is she?" Saul asked the person beside him."No idea. She came to build a computer. The moment she walked in, she started ordering some top-of-the-line parts,"

"No! You can't touch my children!" Lily said in a panic."Then, tell me who that man is. Where is he right now?" Summer demanded.Lily froze.After a brief internal struggle, she said, "His name is Xander Flint. We met at the airport two years ago when I went for a charity event abroad with Kristen. After we got to know each other for a while, we started dating.""How much have you told him about my mom?" Kristen asked."Not much. I've never told him anything private. At the most, he would occasionally ask a curious question, but that's really rare. They were mostly insignificant!" Lily seemed eager to defend Xander.She continued, "He works in rehabilitation therapy for autistic children. He's a really good person. Ms. Hartford, you must be mistaken. He would never try to harm Kristen.""Where is he right now?" Summer asked coldly."He's been busy the past few days, and I have been, too. We haven't really contacted each other. He didn't answer me when I tried to call him just

The hotel where Summer and everyone else was staying had viewing balconies on each floor.At this hour, the balconies were practically empty. A figure was pacing anxiously in a corner. She seemed to be trying to call someone, but the other party wasn't answering."It's already so late. Who are you calling?" At that moment, a cold voice was heard behind that figure.The person was startled and quickly turned around. "Summer, didn't you go back to your room to rest? Why are you here?""I'm out catching ghosts," Summer said slowly.Lily's face paled a little as the corner of her lips twitched. "Is this some new game you young people are into? I don't really understand them, but you go ahead and play. I'm going back to my room to sleep."Just as she was about to lower her head and leave, Robin came in from the entrance with a few bodyguards and blocked the exit."Summer, what's the meaning of this?" Lily frowned.Summer glanced at Lily's phone. "It's already so late. Who are you ca

"What kind of person? Describe him to us. We might have seen him around," Emma said.Summer looked at the six staff members in the room. All of them were Kristen's closest people."He was chubby, short, and had narrow eyes," Summer said.She quickly swept her gaze around the room, taking note of everyone's reactions.Emma thought for a moment before she asked the others, "Have we seen someone like that around?"The others shook their heads after some thought. "There are so many crew members. We were mainly at set A today, and he might be from B."Summer looked away. "Alright, then. It's not that important. What's important is that we enjoy our dinner!""You really just latch onto one thing after another." Kristen laughed helplessly.Summer laughed as well. After that, she lowered her gaze and slowly started to eat.The dinner table was very lively, but Summer didn't really say much. She would only chime in on occasion.Then, when it was past nine, Summer excused herself to

"Mr. Hunt, what probation period?" Kyle suddenly appeared out of nowhere just as Mason was lost in his thoughts.Mason remained silent, but the look he gave Kyle was practically enough to kill.Kyle immediately stood up straight. "Don't worry. I'll definitely take care of the future Mrs. Hunt!"Kyle had some understanding of Mason.Mason had a death stare just now, but the moment Kyle mentioned "Mrs. Hunt", Mason's expression softened greatly.Mason instructed, "Keep a close eye on this Kristen affair. Make sure Summer isn't hurt.""Understood. I'll do my best!" Kyle responded.Mason cast him a glance before he got into another car.He had deliberately put things on hold for two days at Royal Financial Group to let some uneasy individuals stew in their own anxiety. Now, it was time to pull up the net.Summer returned to the hotel and met the director, who was just about to go have dinner, in the lobby."Mrs. Hartford, did you go out for some fun?" the director, Joshua Hanz, g

Kyle had gotten visibly tanned. He glanced at the wailing men and snapped, "Shut up! Keep crying, and I'll cut off your tongues!"At that moment, Summer rushed inside."Ms. Hartford," Kyle greeted politely.Summer nodded at him. "Was it these two?"Kyle nodded. "Yes. You two, tell Ms. Hartford exactly what you did."One of them said, "Someone told us they had a grudge against the production manager and wanted to delay filming. They gave us some money to tamper with the chandelier a little. We just wanted to delay the filming. We didn't mean anything else!"Summer said coldly, "So, you were just supposed to delay the filming? If the production manager hadn't noticed something was off, he wouldn't have been worried and ordered a recheck of all the equipment. If the filming had continued as planned, the chandelier would have been hanging over my mom's head."She sneered. "Then, if the chandelier with the tampered rope fell, my mom would have died on the spot! Is this what you call

Donny cried out in a panic. "No, don't go! She's a good person. She wouldn't hurt you! You must be mistaken.""She".Summer stopped and turned to look at Donny. "Who is she?"Donny averted his gaze and shook his head frantically. "I can't tell you. All these filthy people are trying to hurt her. I won't tell you no matter what." "Alright. Then, I'll ask you a different question. When did you get to know her? Was it before or after your father died?" Summer asked coldly.Donny was much more helpful this time. "It was when my father was sick. She sent money over for the treatment and even helped bury my father."Summer's heart sank yet again.Kristen had only planned her comeback since last summer, and Summer had only recently found out about it.If this woman had been secretly plotting against Kristen all this time, she was likely one of the first people who knew that she wanted to make a comeback.Or that person didn't care about whether Kristen was making a comeback or not.

"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
