Chapter 92

Author: Good Night
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

    Kristen hesitated for a moment before she looked at Luke. "Honey, let's not tell your dad about this."Luke naturally understood that Kristen didn't want to force Rose into a dead end.If Henry found out that Rose had tried to drug Summer, then there was no way he would let Rose off easily, even if the plan didn't succeed.""I understand," Luke said.That night, both the husband and wife were occupied with their own thoughts. They shared the same lingering question and unease about the night before Summer's birthday.If Rose really did drug Summer that night, then why was Summer completely fine in the end? Meanwhile, Rose was…The doubt continued to weigh on them.That night, neither of them slept well.…Before dawn, Rose called. Kristen answered the phone to hear her sobbing on the other end. "Aunt Kristen, are you really abandoning me?""Rose…" Kristen started."It's so high up here, Aunt Kristen. If I jump, will all the pain go away?" Rose cried out.Kristen jumped

    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
