‘Can this woman hear herself? I can’t believe her,’ Summer thought begrudgingly. Meanwhile, Nancy spotted something which made her look in a daze. Her eyes glinted as she was staring at Summer. Nobody could tell what was in Nancy’s head at that moment. As for the women’s conversation, it seemed to get more vulgar as compared to the men’s conversation. Especially with the presence of Grace, their conversation would only revolve around such topics. Only Nancy has kept silent from the beginning towards the end. Both her expressions and eyes looked glum and dull. Long after, it was getting late. After receiving a call, Grace picked up her red fur coat from the couch and left immediately.Mark and the gang had entered the room after finishing their game of billiards. Hanging his coat on his arm casually, Billy gracefully pulled Sherman close to him and bade goodbye before leaving. Charlie squinted his eyes and looked around as if he was looking for someone. Mark, who was stan
As the window wound down, a familiar face came into view. Jazz was slightly taken aback to see his brother as he greeted, “Hi, Mark.”Jazz looked troubled when he saw Summer, and Mark just stared at him in silence.He did not want to greet Summer as her brother-in-law. With eyes carefully speculating him, Mark knew why Jazz was feeling troubled for, yet he purposefully asked, “Why don’t you greet your sister-in-law?”Jazz’s eyes darkened, and without letting them notice, he clenched the fists on his sides as he bit out, “Hello, Summer.” Summer still felt uneasy as she greeted him in return. Just as she wanted to speak up again, Mark’s deep voice could be heard as he said, “Explain to me what and why are you here.”“Since I felt too bored at home, I’m just fully utilising my break now and being more productive. By working here, I could also get a break from mom’s constant nagging.”Jazz shrugged his shoulders as he explained. With snow falling onto his hair, he looked nonchalan
Gordon came across as so commanding that she couldn’t help but react instinctively.“Meet me in the living room in half an hour. Come down with Mark.”Gordon’s voice was strong and sonorous. After seeing Summer’s reaction, he turned and left.She breathed a sigh of relief. When she returned to her room, the man in the bed was already awake. He propped himself up on his hand under his chin, looking lazy.He squinted at her, looking a little sleepy, and spoke in a distinctive husky voice, “Good morning, Mrs. Valentine…” His chiseled, handsome face was softer and more relaxed than usual, looking more alluring under the soft, warm light.Summer’s heart was racing uncontrollably. The moment she saw his bare chest in the air, warm blush rose to her cheeks. She turned sideways, “Grandpa told us to meet him in the living room in half an hour.”Then she turned and went to the bathroom. Having washed her face, she started to brush her teeth. Suddenly, the bathroom door was pushed open.
Summer quickly looked away when their eyes met. The moment she recalled the bathroom scene, she blushed, shaking her head and gritting her teeth.This man’s elegance could put almost everyone to shame, and when he was acting dirty, no one certainly could be his match!The outcome was that they had to do workouts every morning from then on.Gordon said this to Summer himself after Mark went to work.Hearing this, she felt a headache but dared not disobey.Gordon was the one she feared the most in the family because he was intimidating without even trying.At noon, she called Nancy. “Nancy. How’s Howard?”“He’s home already.” There was no emotion in Nancy’s voice.Summer didn’t mind, but she was a little worried. She talked to Nancy for a while before she hung up.On the other side, Nancy held the phone tightly, and her face looked grim. She pressed the number and called.But no one knows who she called.Meanwhile, Summer could not sit still at the Valentine mansion, so she de
Summer was utterly surprised to see so many photos of hers. She didn’t even know when some of them were taken.The first set of photos were taken outside the bar. Tony Frey, the teacher supervisor, held her close and got into the taxi.Her cheeks flushed red, and she snuggled in his arms while his chubby hand lay at her waist.Her brows furrowed, and her hands clutched the water glass.She never went out with Mr. Frey. The only time they were in the same place was when all the teachers had dinner together.So, no doubt Tony must have taken advantage of her while she was drunk.The next set of photos showed her coming out of the hotel in the early morning, her clothes crumpled, her hair disheveled, and her gait a little awkward. One could easily figure what had happened.The last video was of Carlos holding her in his arms and groping her at the Club Nightshade.All the teachers in the office looked at Summer with contempt, disgust, and disdain.Never had they expected Summer—w
The number of reporters crowding the office was so huge that the teachers in the office did not even have room to stand.But none of the teachers spoke up for Summer either because there were too many reporters present or because they were afraid of offending the principal’s daughter.And third, they did not know Summer well.So they sat on the sidelines to avoid getting themselves into trouble.Summer, who was also pushed back by the crowd, was wobbling unsteadily on her feet. Instinctively, she protected her abdomen with her hands as she feared that anyone would accidentally hurt her baby.Nancy, standing not far away, saw exactly what Summer was doing. Her white teeth sank deep into her lips.Suddenly, she acted on impulse. Pretending to be unsteady on her feet, she stumbled forward with full force.And so the reporters standing in front of her were shoved forward without warning.As the crowd could not resist the push from behind, Summer was knocked to the ground. Her abdom
Contrary to Summer’s usual soft pink cheeks, the slap mark was too much of an eyesore to Mark. Feeling displeased, he suddenly clenched his fist. She looked at him, gave him a faint smile, and then turned to the reporters.“I have every right to hold you accountable for the harm you have done to me today. Just wait and see!”Despite her weak breath, she had a determined look on her face. She gripped the corner of Mark’s sweater and glanced up at him once she finished her words. Gritting her teeth, she said, “My stomach hurts. Hospital…”Smoldering anger flashed from Mark’s eyes. Without hesitation, he strode out.When the reporters saw that, they moved their feet, wanting to leave the office. Mr. Valentine was too intimidating. They should leave as quickly as possible.Nevertheless, Mark paused. He turned around and looked back with icy, cold eyes.“Where are you going? We need to talk. From now on, no one will leave the office…” His voice was cold.In the hospital.Summer ha
Meanwhile, at the Valentine Mansion. Amara was sitting on the couch in the living room as she looked around, admiring the expensive interior and decorations while commending the Valentine’s wealth in her head. Furrowed brows appeared on Yvette’s defined features as she asked, “I think Summer will be home quite late today. How about I phone you when she’s home?” “It’s alright. I’m free today anyways. I can wait. Do you have coffee?” Amara replied as she continued looking around. “Get her a cup of coffee,” Yvette did not hide her disgust.Back at the hospital.Jazz felt puzzled as he hung up the call. He then switched the television on to see what was the commotion Yvette was referring to. As Summer felt curious as well, she watched the news with him. She saw Mark in his dark grey coat facing a group of reporters. With grace and poise, he spoke up. “Seeing as she’s my lawfully wedded wife, don’t all of you think that the rumors of her seducing those men are utterly ridiculo
Chapter 1814Before Jazz came to pick up Essa, his elder brother told him he should give candies if he was blocked out of the door. The big brother got experience in his own wedding years ago. Jazz kept it in his mind. At the moment, under such circumstances, he generously distributed candies to everyone. Jazz was a smart guy! People were happy with the candies. They let him in and stopped making trouble for him. People were just having fun on their wedding day and making the atmosphere livelier. Essa's wedding dress was custom-made by the most famous designer in Paris. Summer had arranged it for her. It looked gorgeous on Essa. The wedding dress had a fishtail, which set off Essa's slender waist even more as if it could be grabbed in one hand. The dress was low-back, showing her fair skin. Under the light, Essa looked amazing! Essa was so beautiful, breathtakingly beautiful! Stepping on her crystal high heels, she walked slowly towards Jazz. The distance wasn't long,
Chapter 1813The neck was Essa's most sensitive spot. She felt itchy if someone touched her there, let alone that Jazz clung tight to there for so long. She could barely stand it. Her body was squirming timidly. "Don't seduce me!" Essa was angry, "I'm not seducing you! Just sleep! But can you not cling to me so tight?" "Why? Are you turned on by me?" Essa was lying with her back to him, her cheeks blushed, and she hissed, "Who is turned on?" ‘What the hell! The man is like a sex machine!’ "Since you are so sure of it, let me check you out." Essa wanted to kill herself, but before she did, she wanted to kill him first! "Are you lying, babe?" Jazz deliberately drawled. "Get away from me! If you don't want to sleep in the guest room, go sleep on the couch! I cannot sleep with you clinging to me so tight!" But Jazz ignored her demand. Essa's whole face had turned red, so red as if it was about to bleed. "Jazz!" "You can be louder. I'm fine with it anyway
Chapter 1812Jazz naturally had no objection because he couldn’t wait to get married. He had always been determined, and as long as he made the decision, he would never change his mind!Now that he had decided to marry her, he must do it!Essa had heard her words. Although she thought it was a little too hasty, she kept silent, giving tacit consent.They were getting married in fifteen days! It was really fast!But because the bridegroom was Jazz, she was not panicked at all. She was calm because cuddling up together with him like this made her feel happy.That night was not easy. Jazz was like a wolf who had been hungry for decades, and he would not let go of the delicious meat that had been put in front of his mouth.They had sex for another whole night. Although Essa was strong, she was no match for a man.Her legs and waist were so weak that she had to support her waist with both hands in order to stand up. She thought Jazz should not have been so horny even if he had hadn'
Chapter 1811Jazz lowered his head slightly and kissed her.Essa could not pretend to be sleeping any longer, so she opened her eyes and pressed her hands against his chest."Morning, baby." He stared at her tenderly and asked, "How did you feel last night? Are you satisfied?"She glared at him, not wanting to speak.But she didn't know her eyes were full of tenderness and love now.After the sex last night, Jazz could not resist such a temptation anymore.He bowed his head, intending to kiss her."Get up! I have to go to work! If you dare to kiss me now, I will definitely beat you up!"Jazz didn't kiss her but shrugged his shoulders.He was not afraid of her threat, but he knew it was her first time last night. He thought he could not ask her to make love again in the morning. Otherwise, she would be too tired.Essa was satisfied to see him give up. She glanced at the time and found she was about to be late, so she didn't want to waste time chatting with him anymore.But w
Chapter 1810"Why are you so sensitive?" Jazz smiled lightly, enjoying her current reaction."You’re talking nonsense! You are hugging me too tight. Back away..." She blushed slightly, keeping twisting her body.She had never had such intimate contact with a man before, so she felt hot all over and acted unnaturally."Do you think this distance is too close? We will be closer…"Essa couldn't take it anymore, so she stretched out her hands, pushed against his chest, and said, "Stop it!""Why? You have to get used to this. We will have more intimate interactions, so you have to get used to..."She felt a little scared about such intimate contact.Jazz pressed his body against hers tightly. The scenery outside was blurry at night, and the two of them were alone in the same room, so it was easy for them to become turned on, and sparks were flying between them.His long fingers began to take off her clothes.Soon, she was naked. Jazz picked her up and placed her on the bed."I'm
Chapter 1809Jazz opened the car door for her with a smile and said, "Baby, have an enjoyable time at work."After finishing speaking, he started the car and stepped on the accelerator, and then, the car disappeared without a trace, leaving Essa standing there in a daze.But she still needed to enter the police station to work. Even if she stood here for two hours, she could not solve the problem. There was no point in evading issues, so she decided to get in. Then, she gritted her teeth and walked in, keeping her eyes looking straight ahead.However, even if she didn’t look at others, others would still look at her. Along the way, many people stared at her.They had not expected Essa to be so open. She had actually done such a thing at the gate of the police station!Essa felt her cheeks were burning, but she still forced a smile and tried to be a thick-skinned person.She was hypnotizing herself.When she got into her office, she felt as if she had been flayed by the gazes
Chapter 1808"A few years. Why did you call him a bastard?""You still care about him? I just want to call him a bastard. Don't be silly. There are few innocent men like me. Think about it! It is cost-effective for you to marry me. You have never been married before, and neither have I. To be honest, with my appearance and status, it was not easy to stay single till now. Don’t you think it's very touching?"Hearing this, Essa was completely speechless."It's not touching at all. Are you sure you’re not impotent? Why are you a virgin till now? As you said, you have enough merits to fascinate others!"Hearing this, Jazz on the other end of the phone became sullen and said, "Are you doubting my potency?"Women’s suspicion was the most intolerable thing to men! How could she doubt his sexual potency? It had hurt his pride!"I didn't doubt it before, but you emphasized it over and over again. It is you that made me feel suspicious..." She took a sip of water. Compared to his exaspe
Chapter 1807Essa had told her that Summer was also from an ordinary family. Seeing she and Mark were so affectionate to each other, she felt relieved and believed that Mark was a good man.It was hard to imagine such a handsome man with a high status would be the same as an ordinary man when he was with his family.On the other side of the table, Essa was putting food on Jazz’s plate, while Jazz was picking out fishbones for her. Both of them had faint smiles on their faces, showing genuine love to each other.Essa’s mother let out a sigh of relief.After dinner, Mark insisted on sending the three of them home. Essa shook her head repeatedly and rejected because there were a lot of taxis outside the hotel."This is our first dinner together, so we must send you home. In this way, we can know where you live…"Although Mark's words were polite, they had an irresistible sense of solemnity.Jazz had wanted to refuse too, but after hearing Mark’s words, he swallowed the words back.
Chapter 1806Jazz walked over and handed her red roses."You're too high-profile!" Essa kneaded her forehead with her hand, feeling a headache."Don't you like it?" Jazz smiled."I like it very much." She took a deep sniff. The roses were exuding a light fragrance, making her mood good."My brother and sister-in-law want to have dinner with you and your family tonight. Do you want to meet them?"Essa blinked, "Didn't we meet before?""Yes, but it's not formal. This time, it will be a formal meeting at the Grande Hotel at eight o'clock in the evening…"Essa rubbed her forehead, then went home, and told her mother about the dinner. Her mother was a little worried. She had only met Jazz before, and Mark was a big shot that she could only see on TV. When he suddenly wanted to meet them, Essa’s mother felt nervous.Essa kept comforting her, saying there would be no problem because Mark was very approachable and easygoing.She then changed her clothes and put on makeup. Later, Jazz
