The bodyguards took several slaps from that old lady."Are you Mr. Sutton's family?" Summer looked at the pregnant woman."Yes, I'm his wife!" the woman, Amelia Rand, answered loudly. "Everyone, my husband was a teacher at this elite school. He worked here for over ten years and was always diligent and responsible. Two days ago, she suspected this rich girl of cheating and was arrested that very night!"She continued, "Now, they're piling a bunch of false charges on him to ruin his life! Just look. I'm pregnant, and we have two children at home. My mother and mother-in-law are old and in poor health."My husband was the sole provider of the family. Isn't it a death sentence for us if she throws my husband in jail?"The old woman who had just slapped the towering bodyguards, Velma Harp, clutched her forehead and plopped onto the ground with a dramatic thud when she heard that.Summer was dumbfounded."Mrs. Sutton." She calmly stepped forward, showing no trace of anxiety or anger.

Amelia was instantly rendered speechless."You're lying! My son graduated from a prestigious university. He's such a good person, so why would he try to kill you?" Velma was the first to react.She pointed at Summer and started to shout, "You must have done something shameful, and Ivan almost exposed you. That's why you're framing him out of spite!"She started to cry pitifully as she turned to the crowd. "Everyone, you have to help us! My son has been named one of the school's top ten teachers for many years in a row. Why would he try to kill someone for no reason? He's being framed!"Summer watched coldly.At that moment, some onlookers spoke up, "Ms. Hartford, the wife will become a widow with orphans. It's so pitiful. Why not give them some money and help them out?""Yeah, you wouldn't miss the money. Settling things quietly would avoid your reputation being ruined."Lorraine's eyes lit up when she heard that. To her, money was far more important than Ivan.Summer's lips cu

Getting a pregnant woman who was about to give birth to run into the street to block a car—clearly, none of them had any sense."Are you her mother?" Summer looked at Lorraine."If anything happens to my daughter, I'll fight you to the death!" Lorraine shouted."She'll be perfectly fine if she goes to the hospital right now. But if you keep making her stand here, she'll suffer. If you're lucky, the baby will be born right on the roadside. If you're not…" Summer let her words hang.Lorraine paled."Stop trying to scare us! Solve our problem first, and I'll take my daughter-in-law to the hospital!" Velma shouted."You really are a vicious mother-in-law. Do you not care just because she's not your biological daughter? Your son ruined his own life, and now, you're using your daughter-in-law, who's about to give birth, to bargain with me? Does her life mean nothing to you?" Summer asked.Velma folded her arms, thinking that Summer was starting to waver. "You can say whatever you wa

The sirens grew closer, and Velma started to panic. "Ms. Hartford, I just wanted to beg you to release my son! I had no ill intentions!"Summer pointed at the camera above them. "That's up to the police to decide. That thing recorded how you threw a fit and how you assaulted and humiliated my staff. What happens next will be up to what my employees want.""No, please!" Velma panicked even more.Summer ignored her and walked straight back toward the school.Velma reached out to grab Summer, but the bodyguards blocked her."Ms. Hartford, my niece-in-law told me that you're very sympathetic toward the weak. You even slapped her once over some poor students and their grandfather. Why is it that when it comes to me, you're bullying me instead of helping me?" Velma asked.Summer stopped in her tracks.She had thought that something was off from the start. The family had arrived right on time, and they seemed to know her car's license plate and charged at her without any hesitation.D

Some headlines clearly sided with the Sutton family. "Rich Heiress Abuses Power!""Homeroom Teacher Wrongfully Arrested!""Widow and Orphan Cry at School Gates, Begging for Mercy!"Public opinion was overwhelmingly one-sided.Summer scrolled through the discussions. There were thousands of comments, but hardly anyone defended her. There were even those who compiled negative information about her.Kristen quickly called her.After Summer briefly explained the situation, Kristen let out a cold laugh. "That Mrs. Sutton was bowing and begging us when she was trying to apologize to us yesterday. Now, she just turns around and instigates a pregnant woman and another old lady to block your car at school? Incredible!""I guess it's true that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree," Summer said helplessly."Alright. I'll handle this. Trying to use public opinion against you? Has she forgotten what I do for a living?" Kristen hung up furiously after that.It was rare for Summer to s

The car soon pulled up to Hartford residence. Just as Summer was about to enter the house, a figure suddenly rushed over.Robin's face completely darkened. "What's going on today? Why do people keep blocking the car?"Summer glanced out the window.A familiar face was leaning against the car window, trying to speak to her urgently.Summer was incredibly annoyed, but she still opened the door and walked out."Ms. Hartford, I just got a call from the police, so I came to see you immediately!" Said Carol, Annie's mother."What's the matter?" Summer asked."That old lady has dementia! You can't believe what she says. After the lecture I got from Mr. Hartford Senior yesterday, I've completely come to my senses. I regret everything I did, and I don't intend on doing anything else. I didn't ask her to do this," Carol said anxiously."Alright. Noted," Summer replied, turning to leave.Carol panicked. "Summer, your mother seems to have a misunderstanding about the situation. Can you…

"Phoebe, when is the garage surveillance usually inspected every month?" Summer asked.Phoebe replied, "It was just checked this morning. Why? Is there a problem with the surveillance?""Find someone to discreetly check it again. Be careful not to let anyone in the house find out," Summer said in a low voice.Phoebe nodded quickly. "Got it. I'll take care of it!"Summer nodded in response. Then, she returned to the house as usual.After everything that had happened recently, Henry and Luke were back to their busy schedules.Kristen was supposed to be busy, too, but after she learned about how much Summer had to silently endure under all these years, she pulled back from many of her engagements.She canceled most of the events and banquets that she had scheduled before Summer's SATs."Mom, I'm back," Summer greeted loudly as she changed her shoes at the entrance.Kristen took a moment before she came out, with a sour expression on her face."What happened?" Summer asked with a

Kristen took the phone and immediately froze."All the surveillance footage from that bar that night, including the alley cameras, is completely gone. I refuse to believe it wasn't deliberate! This video was taken by some playboy at the bar that night, and it clearly captured Rose spiking Summer's drink," Luke said seriously.After the video played through, Kristen was silent for a long time."If she really drugged Summer, then there's no way I'll protect her!" she said as she took out her phone, calling Rose right away.The call quickly connected.Before Rose could say anything, Kristen got straight to the point. "The night before Summer's birthday, what did you put into her drink at the bar?"Rose was silent for a while before she exclaimed in surprise and confusion, "Aunt Kristen, what are you talking about?"Kristen snapped, "Don't try to deny it. Someone filmed you spiking her drink that night. The video is in our hands. Rose, when did you become like this? Hasn't Summer tr

"What does it have to do with you?" Mason sneered."You…" Snow was shocked by his indifference.She'd just caught them doing something inappropriate. Shouldn't he be panicking? Shouldn't he be begging for her to keep their secret?Then, Mason forcefully pushed the door, shoving Snow outside and slamming it shut.Snow stomped her foot on the ground furiously, but there was nothing she could do. She thought to herself that she would go look for Summer tomorrow. If Mason didn't care, surely Summer would have some shame.Then, with a huff, she yanked up the pajama top that had slid down her shoulders and stormed back to her room.…Early the next morning, Summer woke up, washed up, and went to knock on Mason's door. After that, the two of them went to have breakfast in the dining room.Snow, as a volunteer, was in the dining room as well. When she saw the two of them walk in and how attentive Mason was to Summer, she felt a surge of jealousy in her heart."You still haven't gotten

Summer sat on the bed while Mason knelt at the bedside. He carefully applied ointment to her bites with visible concern.Summer reassured him, "It's just mosquito bites. They'll be gone after a good night's sleep.""Plenty of people have gotten sick from mosquito bites," Mason said.Summer reached out, grabbed his wrist, and attempted to pull him up. But she lost her balance and tumbled backward onto the bed, almost dragging Mason down with her.Luckily, he braced himself with both hands on either side of her, narrowly keeping them from falling. Now, he was hovering above her, and their eyes met.The scent of herbal balm filled the room, somehow making for a strange atmosphere."You got bitten on the cheek, too," Mason said as he looked at her face."Don't put that green stuff on my face. It's weird," Summer said."No…" Mason protested.Summer blinked. "It'll be fine. If you're really worried, just kiss it. Saliva has antibacterial properties, too."Mason said nothing as he l

Otherwise, Mason truly didn't know what he would do.Would he try to snatch Summer away? What if she hated him for it? What if she was never happy again because of it?That wasn't what he wanted. All he wanted was for Summer to live a happy, joyful life. Whether or not he was a part of that life didn't seem to matter much."There are some water lilies over there. They might still be in bloom, so let's go check them out." Summer's cheeks were flushed, and she was still slightly out of breath."Alright." Mason nodded.The two of them walked over side by side and even held hands for a while. By the time they reached the water lily pond, Summer let go.There were two couples by the pond. One pair was leaning close to the other, while the other was taking photos.Mason looked at them, finding the scene both dazzling and enviable. Once again, he regretted accepting to pretend to be her brother."Look! There are so many water lilies!" Summer didn't notice Mason's gloom as she grabbed

Once Snow was gone, the other women started to whisper among themselves."I bet she's going to look for Betsy. She probably wants to switch rooms to be next to that handsome guy.""For sure. She probably went to take a shower and doll herself up, too.""She's always throwing herself at guys but still acts so high and mighty. I really don't get what's going on in her head."Summer and Mason had already walked quite far ahead.Summer couldn't hold back her laughter anymore. "What do we do, Mason? It looks like that pretty girl has a crush on you."Mason glanced at her.Before she could react, he suddenly pulled her into his arms, lowered his head, and kissed her hard. "You're very happy, aren't you?"There were quite a few guests walking around the farm at that moment.Summer was startled and tried to break free, but Mason only held her even tighter."Mr. Hunt, it was my fault!" Summer surrendered immediately.Mason said nothing."If that woman comes looking for you, I'll hel
The Many Faces of a Vengeful Heiress Chapter 385
Mason was visibly pleased when he heard Summer say that there was still plenty of time. He nodded without hesitation.After dinner, Summer and Mason took a leisurely stroll outside.The countryside at night was far quieter than the city. The farmland was in full bloom. With everything growing strong and lush, they walked along a small path, and when they looked up, the sky was filled with stars."There are so many stars!" Summer exclaimed.Mason looked up as well. He wasn't really interested in them. Rather than stars, he was far more interested in looking at Summer."You liked stars a lot when you were a kid," Mason said.Summer looked at him before she shook her head in disbelief. "We met just once when I was young. How much did I tell you?""You told me quite a lot," Mason said.Summer shook her head again. "It looks like I've always been weak to good-looking people. I told you everything, I guess."That made Mason's grin even wider. "So, is that a compliment?""Isn't that

"Hello," Mason greeted politely.Randall instantly lit up with the same warm smile as before. "No need to be so polite. The dishes are almost ready. Would you two like to eat inside the house or out in the open area out front?""What do you think?" Summer asked.Mason never expected that Summer treating him like her brother could have this sort of effect. "Whatever you like.""Let's eat inside first. We can walk around after dinner," Summer said.The owner chuckled and immediately had someone arrange it.It was the summer break, so there were quite a few guests at the farm, but not many were staying overnight.Summer had arrived late. Most people had already eaten and gone out for a stroll.Summer asked Mason softly, "What do you think? Do you like it? We can sleep here and go catch some shrimp tomorrow. There are many fruits and vegetables to pick, too. "When I came with my parents, they almost picked a whole carload and insisted on bringing them home. In the end, they gave

"How would you know where I want to go?" Mason asked with a smile."I just do!" Summer answered confidently.After passing what used to be the flea market, the road opened up into the countryside. Mason could see stretches of fields rolling by.On the way there, a call came in from the company.Summer glanced at Mason before she answered the call.Very quickly, she heard Lionel's voice. "Summer, have you eaten yet?""I still haven't. What's up?" Summer replied. Her tone was totally different from the one she used with Mason."There's a problem with the structure of the Escape From the Asylum project. I kept calling Hunt, but he hasn't been answering. Could you try contacting him later?" Lionel said.Hunt naturally referred to Saul.Ever since the restaurant incident, Saul had rarely shown up at the company. Summer had been so busy lately that the two of them barely crossed paths. Even so, they had kept in touch on the phone."I got it. If it's getting too late and you can't s

Even putting everything else aside, the incident that had taken Xena's life, according to Luke, had been a result of an internal family conflict. Xena had simply been caught in the crossfire.Cynthia had lost Xena—her sister—and then spent years in a vegetative state. If Mason ignored her, that would have reflected really poorly on his character. It would have meant that he had no sense of responsibility.Mason gave her a gentle smile. "That was a close call.""Let's go out for dinner tonight," Summer said suddenly.Mason was taken aback for a moment. "Go out? Aren't you afraid someone might see us?"Of course Mason wanted to, but Summer had always seemed reluctant to be exposed publicly like that.Summer said as she pulled Mason up. "No one will. Take off your suit. I'll bring you to a nighttime flea market. No wealthy folk will be there."Mason looked a little lost. He had never been to such places.While he went to change, Summer pulled out two baseball caps from a drawer an

In the blink of an eye, a busy month came to an end.That afternoon, Summer received a call from her apartment management. Someone from the floor below had complained about a leak from her unit, and they asked her to check it out.Summer immediately drove over.The moment she stepped out of the elevator, she didn't see the neighbor or the property staff. Instead, she was greeted with the sight of a massive bouquet, as well as Mason waiting for her right next to the door."You're back?" Summer's eyes lit up as her face bloomed with joy. She skipped over to Mason excitedly."I thought you said you wouldn't be back until next week?" Summer asked."I missed you so much that I came home early." Mason shifted the flowers aside and opened his arms.Summer lunged into his embrace with a radiant smile, wrapping her arms around his waist. "Welcome back, Mr. Hunt!"Mason held the bouquet with one hand as he gently stroked her head with the other. He lowered his head and kissed Summer on t
