Chapter 72

Author: Good Night
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,"

    Whether it was in the past or now, Summer couldn't change the fact that she was a sucker for good looks.She glanced at the time before she said, "I still have ten minutes.""Then, let's do a timed challenge," Saul suggested.A faint, pleasant fragrance from Summer reached Saul's nose. The scent brought him an inexplicable sense of joy.His psychologist had once told him that there were certain people in the world that just had a naturally soothing effect, whether it was because of their appearance, voice, or even the pheromones they emitted.Saul hadn't believed it back then. But now, he had met someone like that.Summer took the timed challenge with Saul very seriously.Saul was a non-typical programmer, and winning wasn't something he really cared about. For instance, his full focus was on Summer at that moment, and he made no effort to play seriously during these ten minutes. It was only natural that he lost.In less than five minutes, Summer finished the match."You lost,

    As for Terrence, he refused to lose. Even if he was accepting the challenge under Saul's identity.Seeing that Terrence was getting serious, Fred immediately dropped his playful smile. In his mind, he could only hope that X was worth all of Terrence's desperate efforts.After Summer left the marketplace, she didn't rush home. She drove right to the city center to take care of another matter instead.She had scheduled a meeting with an agency in advance and arranged for them to meet her somewhere private after lunch."This is the information you requested." Summer handed over the file."As long as you've confirmed that all your details are correct, then it's fine. This is the nominee identity for the company you requested and the proxy agreement." The woman across from her passed over a stack of contracts.Summer took them without a word and started to review it carefully. It was an agreement to use a proxy identity to register a company.Summer's identity was a sensitive one, an

    Summer quickly confirmed the target's location. It was actually near the city center."Summer, it's not that I don't trust you. You know that too many bad things have happened recently. I'm just worried…" Kristen said."I understand. I'll head back now. I'll check in with you every ten minutes until I get home. Don't worry, okay?" Summer said.Kristen felt utterly helpless as she listened to Summer. "I can hold off your dad, but I can't do anything about your grandpa. Hurry back!""Mom, you're the best!" Summer said as she hung up.After noting down the location, she gathered her belongings and stepped out of the room.The atmosphere outside seemed incredibly tense.Just as she was about to settle her bill at the front desk, a tall, burly security guard suddenly grabbed her and dragged her aside."What are you doing?" Summer asked in fright.This private club catered exclusively to high society. It had highly trained staff who maintained very strict etiquette and treated all t

    "Mason, what are you doing with your greasy claws?" Summer said in shock, only realizing that she was being pulled along after taking two steps back.Everyone in the lobby was stunned.What did Summer call Mason's hands?"There's something fishy about it. There definitely is! There's no such thing as a man who doesn't fool around with women. This lady must be someone that Mr. Hunt secretly has on the side. Quickly! Look into who she is immediately!" Conrad demanded, as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.Mason had a reputation for being cold, ruthless, and indifferent to love. He was a monster who was wrapped in an attractive shell. His lack of weakness was his greatest strength.Dealing with a man without a weakness was incredibly difficult, but now, Conrad had finally found Mason's weakness!Just look at how arrogantly Summer acted in front of Mason. Just how much did he spoil her for her to act like that?Mason dragged Summer right into a room."Mason, what are you doing?"

    Janice glared at Anthony. "Drop the act. Who used you? Weren't you trying to climb your way into a rich family?"Anthony said slowly, "I love Summer, and the one I want is her, too! She gave me so many hints before, and she was the one who invited me into her tent that night. Otherwise, why would I have gone in? I had no idea the person inside wasn't her!"Janice frowned.Thinking it over, that did make some sense. Why did Anthony need to do that to her in Summer's tent? And there were a lot of rumors surrounding Anthony and Summer in school as well.Anthony grabbed Janice's shoulder. "You can die right now if you want to, but those who harmed us won't feel guilty about it at all. Instead, they'll be pleased that their wicked plans worked. But we can't let that happen, okay? The more we're hurting, the more we need to get revenge on them!"Janice looked a bit surprised. "Revenge? On Summer?""Yes!" Anthony said firmly."How would we get that?" Janice asked.She was definitely u

    Janice had once been an outstanding student who excelled in every manner. Compared to Janice, Nora's own child fell far behind.On top of that, Brad had retired a few years ago, and the position of CEO for Power Construction had been given to Patrick, which made Nora incredibly unhappy.With Janice getting caught up in one scandal after another, Nora took full advantage of it. She moved back right away and spent her days whispering into Brad's ears.She embellished all the rumors from the outside and fed them to Brad. Otherwise, there was no way Brad would be so furious."Shut up!" Janice was already sick of Nora's mockery."Oh, my! Dad, just look at her talking to her elders like that. She's completely lost her manners," Nora feigned fear.Janice felt her whole body trembling.What Summer said earlier constantly echoed in her head.She had spent all this time looking for Rose, but she never expected Anthony to barge into her own home. She really didn't know what Anthony said t

    Mason let out a long sigh. "Oh, no… What am I supposed to do if you're going out tomorrow?"Summer was bewildered. Mason was supposed to be some notorious monster of a CEO, so why was he acting so weak and pitiful?"Mason, do you really think I'm your personal maid?" she asked.Mason frowned. "Of course not.""You'd better not!" Summer warned.Mason still kept up with the pitiful look, and Summer couldn't bear to say anything else about it.But he was just putting on an act. He didn't actually stop Summer from going out.After that, Summer went and busied herself.Mason sat on the couch. After feeling bored for a while, he eventually started dealing with his own affairs.At dusk, something dawned on him. Tomorrow would be Saul's birthday. Things had been such a mess lately, and Kyle didn't remind him, so he had forgotten all about it.Mason probably wouldn't have time to get a gift anymore. He'd make up for it later.…At around the same time, Janice had hurried home. The m

    The call ended there.Saul glanced at the never-ending stream of traffic before he raised a hand and hailed a taxi.On the way, he felt a little unsettled. After some thought, he decided to call Summer.At that moment, Summer was scolding Mason for eating something he shouldn't. "I told you you can't eat these things! What kind of tyrant CEO has a mouth as greedy as yours?"Mason merely sat there obediently and let her lecture him. In truth, he wasn't actually craving those snacks. But Summer wasn't paying him any attention, so…When Summer saw Saul's call, she grabbed all the snacks from the small table and locked them up in her room before she answered it."What is it?" she asked.Saul felt a little comforted when he heard Summer's voice. "It's about your team. You're very capable, and you plan on expanding the company. The team I put together for you isn't bad, but they might not be enough in the long run."Summer nodded. "I've thought about that as well, but I don't have an

    To Terrence, Saul was like a thick iron wall that would never let anyone enter. He had a face that was the envy of all and was surrounded by women since he was young. Yet, he hadn't even dated anyone even in his 20s.For a long time, Terrence had even suspected that Saul liked men.Saul looked at Terrence. "That's right. I want to spend my life with her. Terrence, the girl I like is absolutely one of a kind in this world."Terrence shrugged and said nothing.Saul left shortly after that.Terrence stretched and thought to himself that genes weren't always reliable.For instance, Saul's father was a complete playboy who made headlines every other day for his affairs back then. The man even seduced his own sister-in-law and his sister-in-law's younger sister.Yet, when it came to Saul, he was a hopeless romantic.As Terrence thought about it, his phone rang. It was the person he asked to help him look for Summer.Terrence answered and said, "If there's still no news, then there's

    Who wouldn't want to ruffle that fluffy hair?"What are you looking at? You're allowed to mess up my hair, but I'm not?" Summer playfully raised a fist at him before getting up and mumbling as she headed next door.Mason sat at the dining table, gently touching the spot where Summer had just patted him. He couldn't hide the smile on his lips.There was no way he wouldn't allow it. In fact, he wanted nothing more than for her to do it more."Wait for me!" Mason quickly got up. He grabbed the milk that Summer hadn't finished and hurried after her.When Summer opened her computer, Saul was already waiting for her online."The internal test results are all within our estimations. The response to the promotional campaign has been great as well. I think that the final results will exceed your expectations," Saul said.Summer looked at the data that Sault sent over and was a bit surprised. She definitely didn't expect such a good response. "Saul, you definitely live up to your reputa

    After a moment of hesitation, Summer decided to call Kristen.Kristen hadn't slept well the whole night. When she saw Summer's call, she hesitated for a moment before she picked up."Mom," Summer greeted.Kristen sighed. "Are you calling to ask about Rose?"Summer felt a bit helpless. "So, she really did go to you. I knew no one else would help her.""Summer, I know how much she's hurt you. I guarantee that this is the last time," Kristen said.Summer replied, "I understand. You shouldn't think too much about it. Her mother helped you a lot in the past. I understand it.""I already sent her away. She just boarded the plane. She said she won't be coming back," Kristen said."Let's hope so." Summer didn't really trust Rose's words.If only Rose was willing to live peacefully and stay with Anthony without causing trouble. Then, she could have lived a comfortable life thanks to the Hartford family."Summer…" Kristen seemed to have something she wanted to ask, but she stopped."W

    "Janice, I've never been on the same side as Rose. She was kicked out of the Hartford family a long time ago, and I'm not some saint who would help someone trying to harm me. You're barking up the wrong tree," Summer replied coldly.Janice was clenching her teeth. "Summer! Don't be too pleased with yourself. I know you had a hand in this, too. I won't let Rose off, and I definitely won't let you off, either."Summer lowered her gaze and chuckled.Janice got even angrier when she heard that. "What are you laughing at?""Janice, you like Chandler, right?" Summer asked.Jancie did not respond."With things as they are, how do you still not realize what's important? If you don't shift your focus back to your family, your parents will probably have your marriage with Anthony finalized in the next few days," Summer said slowly.Janice froze in place.She had been fully focused on Rose the last few days. With her mind fully occupied by revenge, she didn't have the time to think about

    Kristen looked at Rose coldly. "For two days, Janice used all of Power Construction's resources and still couldn't find you. Summer is not that capable.""Summer isn't that capable? Do you know who hacked into her birthday party and swapped my video on the screen? It was Summer! She's a very good hacker!" Rose said through gritted teeth."That's enough! I have no time for your nonsense. So what if my daughter is a hacker? If you just called me over for this, then speak no more. Even if Summer is a monster, she's still my daughter. She's my precious girl!" Kristen said impatiently.Rose had always thought that Kristen didn't like Summer. Even now, she was still trying to drive a wedge between the two of them.The moment Kristen said that Summer was her precious girl, Rose felt like a bucket of cold water had been dumped over her head.She lowered her gaze and let out a bitter laugh. "Aunt Kristen, I always thought that I was your precious girl.""Weren't you? Didn't I treat you we
