So, James grabbed Summer's hand and headed toward the backstage dressing room. While walking, he explained, "You have to go on stage with me later. You can't appear in public looking like this. You should change your clothes too."Just as the two headed to the dressing room, they ran into someone they shouldn't have—Caroline.Bathed in the lights of the wide corridor, Caroline raised her eyebrows and directly intercepted them. "James, what are you doing? And you, Summer, where have you been? You're almost 20 minutes late, and you look like this."Summer didn't know how to explain. She could feel Caroline's exasperation, and the latter's face was tense.James took the lead to defuse the situation. "Summie was late because she got into an accident. I'm taking her to the dressing room now to freshen up.""In that case, go ahead. But don't embarrass our family." As soon as Caroline said that, she turned to Summer and emphasized, "You are the daughter-in-law of the Quigley family
The President's Darling Chapter 108
The four major prestigious families were said to control the lifeline of Rosseera City, with their influence spanning across the entire country. The Quigley family was the head of the four families, even ranking at the top on a global scale.Summer worried that if she performed poorly, it would affect not only James but also his family's reputation.But James' next words put her panicked heart at ease. "Since I made you my wife, I'm not afraid of you causing me trouble. Remember, I'll always support you."His words gave Summer a great sense of security, just like a small boat drifting at sea that had finally found a safe harbor, or like a little bird that found a sturdy tree to perch on.Actually, Summer had had some regrets about marrying James in the past. After all, it was unusual to marry a stranger.But after reflection, she thought that maybe it wasn't a bad thing after all, but a blessing. This was because she realized that James wasn't as bad as she had thought. At lea

At this moment, the audience began shaking their heads. They had sharp eyes, and they could tell that Summer was just an ordinary woman who couldn't handle such an occasion. Caroline's face was especially gloomy. Had she known that Summer was this incompetent, she would never have allowed her to marry James.Whispers sounded as everyone began to gossip about the Quigley family. Being caught in the middle of it all, Caroline's face darkened even more, but she still maintained her composure and stood in front of the crowd without saying anything.The situation worsened by the second and became more tense. It was then that James stepped forward and held Summer's hand. His touch was warm, and it was as if he were able to channel some strength through it to Summer's heart. "Hello, everyone. My name is Summer Charter. I am James' wife." Finally, Summer spoke up, bravely introducing herself to the audience.Keeping the momentum, she continued, "I'm just an ordinary woman, and meeti

As one person came forward, others naturally followed suit."Mr. Quigley, you cannot possibly marry a woman like this. You deserve someone better.""That's right. There are so many outstanding women in the four major, prestigious families for you to choose from. Why choose this woman?"Everyone seemed genuinely worried, as if they had James' best interests at heart. But James didn't need their concern.Taking the microphone from Summer, James spoke with authority. "The affairs of the Quigley family are none of your business. Keep your mouths shut!"His words silenced the entire hall, as though it were a royal command. Even the band stopped playing, and the whole place fell into complete silence. No one dared to even breathe, fearing that they would anger the frosty man on stage.James controlled his temper once he saw that everyone had quieted down. However, his tone didn't soften as he continued to say, "This is my marriage, and it's no one else's business unless you have th

Perhaps Summer sensed James' unease. Although he had an imposing demeanor and gave off a sense that everything was under his control, he was still worried about the possibility that they might not have a future together.At this moment, James felt isolated and uneasy, like flowers swaying in the winter wind.Time slowly passed. As the clock turned and the night went on, even the moonlight appeared to be dimmed.At this moment, Summer also felt like her future was unclear. She didn't know if she and James could be together in the future. After the party, she had realized that there were many people who didn't want them to be together.If she divorced James, would she be sad or happy?She didn't have a clear answer to the question.Although their time together had been short, Summer had unconsciously grown dependent on James. She had already grown accustomed to his presence, even though their love had yet to bloom.Summer gently parted her cherry lips and said, "If… If we divo

"Of course you should care! Although Quigley Group is powerful, aren't you afraid your parents…" Bradly stopped midway through his sentence, but James could already guess what he wanted to say. He was about to mention whether James' parents would strip him of his title as heir. The four major prestigious families would designate an heir when their children were of age. James was currently first in line to become the heir of the Quigley family. His younger brother, Howe Quigley, was the next candidate after him.Actually, he had nothing to worry about. Compared to Howe, he was exceptionally capable and outstanding. It was as if the two brothers came from different worlds. Howe wouldn't be chosen to be the heir under any circumstances.Besides, so what if James' parents were to strip him of the heir's position? James wasn't afraid. He would rather love Summer than take over Quigley Group."Bradly, thank you. I will handle all of this," James said."You better handle it well

Keith sat on a red couch. With one hand supporting his head, he looked lazy and content. He said, "You guys discuss James' matter. You're his brothers, not me.""Keith, why do you always say such things? Clearly, you care a lot. Why do you keep opposing James?" Seeing Keith's indifferent attitude, Zach felt rather helpless.The thing about Keith and James was that they had been in competition since childhood. After all, they were the most powerful competitors among the four major prestigious families. From a young age, they had often been compared by the elders of their respective families. As adults, they were both chosen as the successors to their families. In the future, the competition between the Quigleys and the Ritters, and who turned out to be the strongest, largely depended on the two individuals.Keith understood the situation. He deliberately kept a distance and maintained a hostile attitude toward James.Seeing Keith's cold attitude, Zach knew that asking for his

"No, no. Mr. Quigley made it for you. I can't have it," Charlie replied urgently.Summer also didn't force him when she noticed his expression. He looked as if eating her breakfast would bring him bad luck. Instead, she continued to eat on her own.Charlie stood in front of her and said, "Mrs. Quigley, Mr. Myers wants to see you."Summer looked up and asked, "Mr. Myers? Who's that?" "Zach Myers. Mr. Myers. Mr. Quigley's friend," Charlie replied.With Charlie's reminder, Summer finally recalled who Zach was. She had heard before that James and the other heirs of the four major prestigious families were good friends. Apart from Bradly, James' friendship with Zach was quite good too. However, Summer was not familiar with him at all. She wondered why he wanted to see her."Let him in," Summer said.Summer felt that it would be better to meet him. After all, they had met before. She remembered him as a somewhat simple-looking man.After entering the room, Zach sat in front of S
