The President's Darling Chapter 117
Those elders either held shares in Quigley Group or had significant prestige within the company.Those elders and shareholders acted as "nobility", hindering James' dominance.But so what? In the end, those people were just clowns. Quigley Group was the Quigleys' family business. The majority of power was in the hands of their heir, James. Even if those people had opinions, they could only complain. It wouldn't amount to much.The key player in this matter was Caroline. She was the person James respected the most. After all, she had given birth to him and raised him. Therefore, he would mostly listen to what she said. However, only in romantic matters could he not heed her advice. Otherwise, James would have married according to her wish years ago. He wouldn't have waited until now to marry Summer."Mom, just like I told you before, I like Summer. Only she made me think about marriage," James said."I know… Well, nevermind. It's not like I think you two should divorce. I jus

Summer was also aware that the situation wasn't good. Before James could speak, she quickly explained, "I saw that Lexi was tired, so I let her watch television with me. It isn't her fault. She wasn't neglecting her duties. It's my fault!"Summer witnessed how seriously James punished Charlie before. A man would be able to withstand the pain with each lash falling on his body. However, Lexi, being a woman, definitely wouldn't be able to withstand it. Summer was afraid that James would use the same methods to punish Lexi, so she quickly explained.However, James wasn't thinking about that at all. He had more important matters to discuss. He waved his hand to dismiss Lexi. Then, he said seriously, "We have to move back to the old residence.""Move back to the old residence? Where is that?" Summer asked."My house," James replied."Oh, okay. Sure, let's move. I don't mind," Summer responded calmly. After all, Summer didn't have much of an opinion about living environments.Mos

In society, the relationship between daughter-in-laws and mother-in-laws had always been one of the most challenging aspects of marriage. Dealing with such a relationship had always been the toughest hurdle for husbands. However, that didn't mean that all mother-in-laws were bad. There should be some good ones, right?Summer thought positively. Perhaps Caroline was a good mother-in-law. Summer reasoned that Caroline had probably treated her badly during the party because she was in a bad mood.After all, when Caroline had gone to her house for the marriage back then, her attitude had been quite good. Therefore, Summer felt that she must have overthought things.After that, she and James had a discussion. They decided that they would move back to the old residence on the third day, which meant that Summer still had two days to enjoy herself.Summer didn't have much to do in the two days. Then, she remembered another important matter. She suddenly remembered her good friend Kelly's

Summer was still interested in giving it a try, so she asked, "Who do you recommend?""Zach! He's a real gentleman. He was only in a relationship once and has been single for four years. He's innocent, but he's also handsome and cool. I'm sure he will be a good match for your friend," Bradly replied.Judging by the way Bradly described Zach, it seemed that Zach was indeed a good choice. Zach checked all the boxes to be Kelly's partner. However, it would be difficult to bring both Zach and Kelly together.He just came to see Summer the day before, and the two had gotten into an argument. It should be impossible for Summer to ask him to meet her now.Summer told Bradly honestly about the incident between her and Zach. She wanted to hear Bradley's opinion. Instead, he said he couldn't help."Now that you mentioned it, Zach is quite against your relationship with James. I doubt he has a good impression of you. Naturally, he won't have any good impressions of your friend," Bradly mut

"Nope. Why would I want to talk about something like that? It's not going to benefit me in any way." Bradly laughed and got to his feet breezily. He blinked and waved a hand, continuing, "If you really want to know, you should ask James. I need to get busy now, so bye!"He left as quickly as he'd come, and he was as mysterious as always. He and Summer hadn't even spoken for half an hour before he'd left, but Summer didn't stop him. She was already mad at him.…Time passed in the blink of an eye. In the days that passed, Summer tried to think of a way to build a bridge for Kelly's marriage. Nothing came to her, though.Her three days were up. She and James had to move back to the Quigley residence and face the true matriarch of the Quigley family, Caroline.On their first day back, Caroline summoned Summer to give her a lecture before she could even sit down.Caroline's study was filled with furniture made out of camphora wood and expensive paintings. She sat in a chair with

Summer understood now. Caroline saw her as nothing more than a baby-making machine. By having Summer and James move back to the Quigley residence, Caroline wasn't just trying to make Summer change for the better. She also wanted Summer to get pregnant.With her personality, Summer was tempted to fly into a rage and loudly proclaim the empowerment of women in today's society. It was a woman's right to decide whether or not she wanted to have children!She didn't dare to use such extreme words, though. Caroline wasn't easy to deal with, and at this juncture, Summer didn't want to get into conflict with her."Mom, I don't think there's any rush for us to have kids. It hasn't been that long since I married James, after all.""No rush? How can there not be any rush? You're 24 years old now, which is the perfect age for you to have kids. What will you do when you get older?""Well, I was thinking it wouldn't be too late to have kids before I turn 30 years old," Summer refuted. The

The practice of yoga could help improve one's strength and endurance, which were beneficial for pregnancy.Summer was speechless after hearing Holly's explanation. Yoga was an exercise that she liked, yet Caroline had used it for such purposes. Because of that, Summer was rather turned off by the remainder of the lesson.Summer took a shower after the lesson was over. Then, Luca led her elsewhere. This time, it was for a piano lesson. According to Luca, it was imperative for an outstanding lady of the Quigley household to be proficient in at least one musical instrument. That way, she could perform for guests whenever.Summer wasn't too pleased to hear that. What was this about performances? If these so-called guests wanted to listen to some music, they could just hire a professional orchestra or band. Why did she have to go through all this trouble learning an instrument?Luca coolly countered her, telling her that it was one of the Quigley family's rules. Learning how to

"I don't think I can accept this," Summer complained. She puffed out her cheeks, looking upset."I'm sorry," James said."You should be. I wouldn't have to suffer like this if not for you. Why did you have to marry me?"Though it was precisely because of her marriage to James that Charter Corporation's crisis had been resolved, she never would have agreed to it if she'd known she'd have to suffer like this.James didn't know how to coax others. He raised an eyebrow, not knowing how to respond. Ultimately, he said, "Those lessons shouldn't be too hard, right? I mean, they're exactly what everyone else had to go through.""Everyone else"? Summer figured he was probably referring to the children of the four most prestigious families. She couldn't help asking, "Do you rich kids from the four most prestigious families have childhoods?""Childhoods?""Yeah, like memories of playing hide-and-seek, going on trips with friends, or even going for classes with your classmates.""No,"
