She still had classes at 1.00 pm. But when she hurried out in the morning, she accidentally dropped two teaching materials.

“As much as I want to drive faster, the traffic sucks. It is Christmas today, lady.”

It usually took only half an hour to cover the distance, but today it took 50 minutes, which just showed how terrible the traffic jam was.

Knowing that she was going to be late, Summer called Nancy Atkinson immediately, hoping that they could swap classes.

Nancy did not ask why but readily agreed. Summer could have a sigh of relief. Nancy’s class was at 3.00 pm, so she still had plenty of time.

When she arrived home and pushed open the door to the yard, she was puzzled when she saw a large group of people standing there. “Who are you all?”

A middle-aged man in his forties came up and looked at her. “Are you the former house owner here?”

“What do you mean by former house owner?” it startled Summer to hear that.

“Let me tell you. I am the owner of this house now. You are the ex-owner,” the middle-aged man said.

“What are you talking about? We didn’t sell the house. You must have made a mistake.”

“Take a look at this document, lady.” The middle-aged man passed the document over to her.

She took the document in her hands. Her face crashed, turning pale as she read. She clenched the document with her fingers, as if she was about to tear it apart.

Apparently, the document the man handed her was a deed with signatures of both the seller and the buyer, and the property had been paid for. The deed had been notarized and stamped.

Color faded from her face, but she remained composed. She knew that there was no point in arguing right now.

The only thing that she had to do was to accept reality.

“But we haven’t found a place to stay. Could you please allow us a few more days?”

The only way was to buy more time so that she could figure out what to do next.

The middle-aged man took back the deed. “I am afraid I can’t, lady. We need a place to stay, too.”

“Just one day—one day, okay?” Summer was almost pleading. “We haven’t moved our belongings yet. How are you going to move in?”

“You have got to move out, no matter what. I am not going to sleep on the street tonight. Don’t worry about us, lady. You should worry about where to put your stuff. I was going to call you just now when you came back.”

While speaking, Summer saw a few employees of a moving company come out, carrying the bed in her room.

Where would she find a place to put these things, given such short notice?

Gritting her teeth, she begged the middle-aged man. “You see, I really have nowhere to go. Would you please vacate a room for me to put my stuff first? I promise I will move out tomorrow, okay?”

Seeing her pathetic look, the middle-aged man gave in. “Well, then. But you must move out tomorrow.”

“Sure. Sure.”

After packing up everything in the room, it was already three in the afternoon—time for class.

But Summer was not in the mood to check the time. Wiping the sweat off her forehead with anger boiling inside her, she dialed Amara’s number.

But Amara did not answer, and a sweet female voice told her to call again later.

She had called five times, and all the calls did not get through. Amara must have deliberately refused to pick up.

Summer’s chest was heaving. She gritted her teeth as she composed a text message:

'Are you still busy right now, Amara? My brother just called, saying that he will get his salary and bonus together in advance this month before New Year’s Day. He transferred three hundred dollars into my account to buy a Christmas gift, and I am supposed to give you the rest. I will keep the money for myself if you don’t call back. Don’t say I didn’t tell you. Oh, yeah, aren’t you supposed to treat me to dinner?'

She even added a smiley face at the end of the message. By now, her knuckles had turned pale.

On the other hand, Amara was playing poker in a smoke-filled casino. When she heard the notification sound, she took out her mobile phone and checked the message.

She frowned in puzzlement after reading the message. Did the buyer not tell her he would move in today? Could it be that Summer was still aware of it?

After thinking about it again, she figured that probably the new owner postponed moving in for one day. So it was natural that Summer had not learned about it.

But why did her husband transfer the money to Summer? He could probably not get through her phone, but he could have directly transferred the money to her account. So what was going on?

She cursed in a low voice and then put up a smile as she returned the call to Summer. “I just saw your text message. Didn’t you say you want to try the famous ten-course meal in the city? I will wait in front of the restaurant on Portwell Street. Okay, I will hang up now. Be on time.”

During the call, Amara had been carefully paying attention to Summer’s tone of voice.

Amara breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Summer speak in a modulated tone of voice, just like how she spoke on normal days.

Leaving the casino, she headed straight to the restaurant at Portwell Street.

After waiting for about twenty minutes in front of the restaurant, she at last saw Summer stepping out of a taxi.

Amara smiled like a Cheshire cat as she stepped out on her eight-centimeter high heels to greet Summer. “What took you so long?”

Saying nothing, Summer paid the taxi driver. She had been so angry that her eyes literally spat fire.

She spun around and raised her hand before slapping Amara with all her strength.

Amara fell back several steps from the force of the slap. She lost her balance on her high heels and fell to the ground.

It startled passersby, who stopped in their tracks and rubbernecked.

Amara was caught unawares, not knowing what happened. A while later, she came to her senses and realized that Summer was luring her out.

She quietly cursed in her mind as she pulled herself up with a hand on her red and swollen face, trying to play the victim. “What is wrong with you, Summer?”

Summer gritted her teeth and looked at her with icy eyes; how she wished she could give Amara a couple more slaps. “Stop pretending!”

She had put up with Amara’s nonsense for far too long. Her patience had run out this time.

“Pretending what? What do you mean? I have no idea what you are talking about.” Amara shook her head, pretending that she had been wronged.

All eyes were on Summer right now. Everyone started to judge, pointing their fingers.

But Summer did not give a hoot about those rubberneckers. She was paying her entire attention to Amara, her reasoning and composure flying out of the window.

“I really don’t understand. Did I do something wrong?” Amara was still pretending.

    Summer lunged up and grabbed Amara’s hair, then gave her a couple of slaps again. “Do I have to remind you of the conscienceless things that you have done?”She had hit no one until Amara came along. Right now, she wished she could strangle Amara.Amara sneered in a low voice that only Summer could hear. “So what if I just did it? You had better kill me now, or else I will make sure you regret it later.”Not only did Amara have no sense of remorse, but she also behaved arrogantly.Summer lost her last trace of sanity as she hit Amara again to vent the monstrous anger in her.Amara did not fight back but took the slaps with a sneer. More and more onlookers gathered and caused traffic jams. Some people finally could no longer sit by and watch. They called out loudly, “Call the police! If this continues, that poor lady will die. Call the police!”Hearing those words, Amara shouted, “Help! This woman hit me! She is a teacher. She hit me!”Those onlookers despised Summer even more,

    A smile broke across Jazz’s face, his voice euphoric when the front door was opened from the outside. “Miss Hart!”It was not Summer, but Mark, who came in. Mark casually threw his black coat on the sofa as he walked in. He glanced at Jazz and sat down lazily on the sofa. “You seem to be very excited about seeing Miss Hart, eh?”Jazz slumped on the sofa, feeling disappointed. He just stared at the clock without saying a word.It was half-past eight. Why had Miss Hart not arrived yet?Mark took off his tie that he had worn for an entire day. His sturdy chest muscles almost burst out of his gray shirt. He glanced sideways at Jazz as he spoke in a low voice. “Rest early. Miss Hart is not coming today.”Jazz turned around immediately. “Why is that?”“She has been detained by the police.” Mark said saintly as he flipped through the documents on the coffee table with his slender fingers.“Why is she detained? And how do you know?” It shocked and puzzled Jazz upon hearing that.“I saw

    “I told you I am in Alcomara. I am at work right now. Let’s talk later when I am off work.” “Which is more important—work or the house, Forrest?” Summer clenched her phone and adjusted her breathing as she called out. “Tell me what else we can do now since the house has been sold?” Summer took a deep breath to suppress her anger. “Tell Amara to return the money!” “Do you think it is possible to ask for money from her? Not a chance!” “I warn you seriously. You know Mom has high-blood pressure; she can’t take this shock. Before Dad and Mom return from the trip, you had better fix this problem and get the house back, even if you have to pay double the money for the breach of contract.” “Are you kidding me, Summer? The house has probably been sold for 1.5 million dollars. The penalty for the breach of contract will be 3 million dollars. I am just a normal white-collar worker. I only keep one grand as pocket money for myself while handing the rest to Amara every month. I have ab

    Summer was sandwiched between the seat and Mark. His hand posture remained as it was before, but their faces almost touched each other, and there was a zero distance between their lips. “What have I done that makes you think I am flirting with you?”She could feel his warm breath on her face. She tilted her head back, trembling, but she still gritted her teeth and said unequivocally, “Now you are flirting.”“Really?” Mark’s lips curled up in a smirk. There was a click when he pressed down with his finger. “Done.”'Done what?'Summer looked at him in puzzlement while he pointed his chin at her chest.She looked down at where he was pointing. Only then did she notice the seat belt. He was just helping her unfasten the seat belt.She instantly blushed, as if blood almost surged out of her skin. How she wished the ground would swallow her up.It was so embarrassing. She had never been so embarrassed in her life.Mark sat back upright and let go of her hand, his lips curling up slig

    Summer felt her ears were nearly frozen as she walked in the freezing wind on the street. The weather was surprisingly cold today.She called her mom as the two had returned from the trip. The train was scheduled to arrive at 10:00 am.She hung up, and then headed back to school in a hurry. She was absent all of a sudden without calling to inform the school yesterday. Now she had got some explanations to do.The school principal was very understanding. He just gave her a verbal warning and wanted her to pay more attention in the future.She agreed and then asked for another day off. Surprisingly, the principal approved her request with no question asked.After breakfast, Summer hurried away to the train station. The train was delayed. She waited for 40 minutes before finally seeing her dad and mom arriving.She could hear her mom complaining as they approached. “The train is delayed every time. My back hurts.”“I have wanted to take the high-speed train, but you are not willing

    She hung up the phone and took a deep breath to calm her racing heart.Club Nightshade.Lucas Atkinson wailed and groaned as he held his stomach and wriggled on the ground in pain.Sitting on the sofa in front of Lucas was a middle-aged man in his forties. The man, chubby and wearing a thick gold chain around his neck while sitting with his legs crossed, cursed, “You friggin’ boy! How dare you touch my woman! I am going to cut you into pieces today!”Summer heard swear words and felt disgusted as soon as she walked in.The greasy face and belly that was about to burst out of his shirt made her feel even sicker.Seeing her brother beaten black and blue on the floor, Nancy went weak at the knees. She would have tumbled to the floor if not for Summer holding her tightly. “What do you want before you let him go?” Her voice was trembling.“I’ve already said that my woman keeps your little brother as a gigolo, making me a cuckold. I will not let him off so easily. Teach him a lesson,

    Carlos hurriedly changed his narrative. He was hesitant. “Honestly, Mr. Valentine. Miss Hart and I have very important things to discuss.”Mark sat down on a sofa leisurely with his brow raised. “What is it about?”“It is a personal matter.” Carlos made up an excuse.“Well, what kind of personal matter, may I ask? If Miss Hart can help, I am sure I can, too.” He was still behaving elegantly.Carlos was silenced now. He could not imagine asking Mark Valentine to help him with ‘that stuff.’After a while.Nancy helped Lucas to the back seat before letting Summer—who had got a little drunk—sit in the front passenger seat.Her eyes flickered, and her heart pounded uncontrollably as she sighted the side of the good-looking man’s face.“Address?” Mark asked Nancy, who was sitting in the back seat.“Stodan South,” she replied hurriedly, after coming out of her daze. The black Land Rover started. There was silence in the car. The only thing audible was their breathing sounds.Summer

    Summer was taken aback. What did he just say?“Time and venue?” Mark asked again when he heard no response. His words were concise and straight to the point.Did that mean he accepted the invitation? “Oceanside Hotel. 3:00 pm.” Summer snapped back and told him the hotel at which Nancy made a reservation.You do not bring a VIP to a street stall for lunch. So Nancy had gone to great lengths to find an upscale hotel to set up the date.The line went dead, with Mark saying nothing else as if he was busy.Summer frowned. She called Nancy to tell her that the appointment was set and that Nancy could make a reservation now. She then looked at the time—it was only 8:00 am.A beautiful weekend morning was wasted just like that. Her initial plan was to sleep until she woke up naturally. But now, that plan was ruined.She drank two glasses of water and then placed the glass on the table. But before the glass left her hand, she felt acutely nauseous.Covering her mouth, she rushed into

    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.

    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.

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.
