Chapter 83

Author: Good Night
Summer raised an eyebrow and shrugged. "It would be too boring if she just disappeared. I'd rather keep her around and have some fun. Mr. Hunt, you should just focus on yourself instead of meddling in my affairs. Your life is a lot messier than mine."

"Ms. Hartford, you're quite different from the rumors," Mason said slowly.

She was far from just different. She was basically a different person.

"The rumors also say that you're a monster. So, is Mason Hunt a monster?" Summer cupped her chin with her palm as she asked Mason.

"That's hard to say," Mason said with one hand on the steering wheel. He leaned slightly toward her. "Since you know that the rumors call me a monster, why don't you seem scared of me at all?"

As he suddenly leaned in, Summer had a brief moment where she felt like she fell into his deep, mesmerizing eyes.

Her mind went blank for a moment. She even forgot to look away.

Their eyes locked with one another. The faint smile on Mason's lips slowly disappeared as wel

    Mason lived every day of his life like he was on the battlefield. There was no way he had time to think about anything else.Summer responded, "Alright, then! Just head toward my place. There's a nice little pasta shop on the way."She had eaten there once when she was very young. It was one of the few affordable meals she had ever had."Okay." Mason didn't even know what sort of pasta they served there, but he was willing to try something that Summer liked.As the car moved forward, Summer switched on her computer. She quickly plugged in another USB drive she had prepared in advance and embedded the picture of the sports car she had just taken to an IP address. After that, she let out a deep breath as she shut down the computer.Mason watched everything but didn't ask any questions. Summer had no intention of explaining herself, either.After half an hour, the two of them arrived at the pasta shop.It was raining, so the place was quite packed. Summer glanced inside and hesitat

    Mason's expression turned slightly colder. Then, he pushed the box of pasta toward Summer.He replied calmly, "I'm not too sure. It was probably one of my uncle's people."Summer felt her heart stop.Even though she had known for a long time that Mason's family was eager to get rid of him, hearing him say it himself felt different."Why?" she asked with some hesitation.Why did they want to kill him? After all, since Mason took over the company, he had only made it stronger and more profitable.Mason responded, "I never asked. It's probably for money."Summer pursed her lips and didn't continue the topic. "Try it and see if it's good."Mason took a mouthful.He had never had something like this before. It took a while for him to fully understand the taste, but he still nodded immediately. "It's really good.""Then, have some more! There are other snacks, too," Summer offered enthusiastically.Mason lowered his gaze and ate slowly.Meanwhile, Summer had a foxy, cunning smile

    "A young lady?" Terrence finally cracked a smile."Yeah! A young lady, and she looked stunning. Small nose, big eyes, and a killer figure!" the man said.Hearing about a beautiful woman made Terrence happy.He simply took out all the cash from his wallet and slapped it down in front of the man. "Check all your accounts. You've probably been infected with a virus. This is your compensation."After Terrence said that, he left the dumbfounded man behind.The man stood there for a moment and tried to process what happened. Then, he cursed under his breath and immediately logged out of his account to start a virus scan.The man scratched his head. "How did she do it?""Did you hear that? She's a beautiful young lady!" Terrence said happily to Fred when they got in the car."So, gorgeous female hackers actually exist?" Fred wondered, completely stunned.Terrence ignored him and headed straight for the second IP address.However, as he drove, the surroundings became more and more ba

    It was still pouring outside when Summer rushed downstairs. Right as she reached the first floor, she spotted a tall figure standing by the entrance.When he saw her, Kyle hurried over. "Ms. Hartford, your laptop."Summer recognized him as the man who sent her home the night she was reborn."Thank you." She took the laptop from him.Then, she glanced around.She had rushed down so quickly. Did Mason leave that fast?"And this." Kyle handed her an umbrella.Summer reached out and took it from him."It will be difficult to get a taxi with this rain. I've prepared a car for you that's waiting outside. You can leave whenever you want," Kyle continued."Thank you. Sorry for the trouble." Summer gripped the umbrella tightly.Kyle didn't say much else. He didn't even mention that Mason was the one who had him prepare everything. He nodded slightly before turning away, opening up his own umbrella as he walked into the rain.Summer stood downstairs for a moment before she slowly made

    Summer didn't stay at her apartment for long before she headed back to the Hartford residence.Phoebe was already waiting with an umbrella when the car stopped at the front gate."Ms. Hartford, why did you run off without saying anything? You scared me to death!" Phoebe started to nag the moment she saw her. "It's been such a mess outside nowadays, and it's not safe at all. There are even people trying to harm you right now. It's way too dangerous for you to go out without a bodyguard!""I know. I'll be more careful next time," Summer replied softly.Phoebe finally stopped her lecture when she heard that.The two of them then chatted as they walked past the garage.Luke and Henry were both car enthusiasts. The vehicles in this garage were only a fraction of what they owned.When Summer walked past, she instinctively glanced inside. The moment she saw that familiar car, she stopped in her tracks."What's wrong, Ms. Hartford?" Phoebe asked in confusion."When was this car brou

    "Ms. Hartford, your safety is far more important," Robin said sternly.As he said that, his sharp gaze swept the surroundings.A few students shuddered under his gaze."I've been looking into some school bullying cases recently. Some of them even result in fatalities," Robin said.Summer knew that Robin could be incredibly stubborn, so she gave up on convincing him. "I'm going to class.""Alright." Robin watched as she entered the classroom before he got into the car and left.The moment Summer stepped inside, the previously noisy classroom fell silent.She had a blank expression on her face as she walked to her desk, which had been replaced with a brand-new one.Several students from the back rows were missing, including Becca and Annie."Summer, I heard you were injured?" Lindsey walked over to Summer."It's nothing," Summer replied flatly."Annie and Becca have withdrawn from school, and a few others who used to bully you took sick leave," Lindsey said softly.Summer loo

    With the SATs approaching, there were hardly any proper lessons left. Most classes were either going through test papers or studying them.Harold was in no mood to review any papers, so he simply handed out two test sheets for everyone to work on.Chandler sat by the side, occasionally sneaking glances at Summer.So, this was the girl who had captivated his cold-hearted brother, Mason.She was definitely very pretty—just a little cold.What should he do? Even though they had just met, he could already tell that Summer would be a whole lot of fun.Just as Chandler was starting to feel excited, Summer suddenly looked up at him, momentarily taking him aback.There didn't seem to be any trace of warmth in her eyes."I forgot my pen. Can I borrow one?" Chandler spoke. Just like his appearance, his voice was incredibly innocent.Summer withdrew her gaze and handed him a pen from her pencil case. After Chandler accepted the pen, she returned to her expressionless state and continued

    Summer's car had just reached the school gate when a heavily pregnant woman suddenly dashed across the street and threw herself onto the car's hood."Stop the car!" Summer shouted in fright."Ms. Hartford, stay inside the car. I'll take a look," Robin said with a frown.What had been going on lately? Why did things like this keep happening?Robin pushed open the door and stepped out of the car. The pregnant woman immediately burst into loud, wailing sobs. "Ms. Hartford, I'm begging you. Please spare my family's lives! I'm begging you." At this moment, the school gate was bustling with wealthy mothers picking their children up from school. There were some street vendors selling snacks as well. It was incredibly busy.A pregnant woman blocking the car of a wealthy heiress, crying and pleading for her family's lives, was prime gossip material that immediately attracted a lot of attention."Ma'am, you're pregnant. You shouldn't be rushing around like this. Please get up, and we c

    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
