Chapter 94

Author: Good Night
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?"

    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.

    "Summer, look at me!" Rose Sanderson grabbed Summer Hartford by the hair, yanking the latter up from the ground. She forced Summer to stare at her.Summer was as thin as a stick, her cheeks gaunt. In the deep of the winter, all she had on her was a thin layer of filthy mental institution patient robe. Like a zombie, she was unresponsive to Rose's actions.Clearly, Rose was unhappy at Summer's lack of response. After six years of meticulous planning, she had finally crushed Summer. She would not be happy until she witnessed Summer in despair."You're dying. Don't you want to meet with Grandpa?" She flashed a malicious smile.The mention of her grandfather finally elicited some response from Summer.Rose clutched Summer's hair with a look of excitement and glee. She hauled Summer to the front of a curtain like she was dealing with the carcass of an animal. Then, she drew back the curtains.Behind the curtain lay an emaciated old man with multiple tubes attached to his body. He seem

    "No!"Summer jolted awake from the excruciating pain of being burned alive."What's wrong, Summer?"A familiar face loomed before her. Rose?Summer's eyes wavered. Something wasn't quite right. It had been years since she saw Rose looking barefaced and innocent.She scanned her surroundings quickly and froze. It seemed she had returned to the day before her 18th birthday—six years ago. On that day, Rose took her to a bar to celebrate her birthday.She stared down at her hands, expecting to see them wrinkled and wounded, only to find them looking fair and smooth.It dawned on her that she had traveled back to the start of her tragic life."I've gotten you a glass of lemonade from the bar. Take some lemonade. You'll feel better." Looking concerned, Rose handed Summer a drink.Summer stared at the drink as chills traveled down her spine. In her past life, she recalled blacking out after taking that drink.When she pieced together fragments of her memories, she recounted being

    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

    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.
