"Ms. Summer—or should I say, Mrs. Quigley? Why were you running away as soon as you saw me? Don't tell me it's because I used to pursue Mr. Quigley. Is that why you want to avoid me?"As Eleanor spoke, she looked gentle and smiled. But her words shocked Summer out of her wits. How come Eleanor knew her so well?In fact, only the four major prestigious families and some powerful individuals were aware of James' marriage. Although the public was oblivious, Eleanor, who belonged to one of the prestigious families, was crystal clear about it. She had recognized Summer the moment the latter had shown up to the tea party.Since Eleanor knew her, Summer no longer tried to hide her identity. She smiled and replied, "I'm not avoiding you. I just—""Mrs. Quigley, you're probably worried that I'd be hostile and think we shouldn't talk to each other, right? Rest assured. I don't hate you," Eleanor explained. Taking Summer's hand, she led the latter to the tea table. "I know what happened

Bradly had mentioned this about Zach too. Zach must've been badly hurt by a woman. But Summer was curious. Who would dump a scion from the four major prestigious families? There must be some messy story behind it.Another thought also occurred to her. If Zach was too scared of being hurt again to date, would he remain single forever? Would he never marry and build a family?Having children was an important issue for the four major prestigious families. If the heirs didn't have children, they might face threats to their positions."Ms. Myers, think about it. It's because your cousin has been hurt before that he needs a new relationship. Otherwise, he would be trapped in the past forever and be unable to move on." Summer paused and continued, "You wouldn't wish for your cousin to stay alone forever, would you?""Of course I wouldn't.""Exactly. That's why I think we should work together. Let me introduce someone to your cousin, hmm?"Eleanor slightly turned to one side. She did

Eleanor smiled brightly at James and said, "James, it's been a long time.""Why are you here?""I'm here to see you, of course. We haven't met for so long." Eleanor quickly walked up to him as she spoke. She turned around swiftly, wanting to sit in his lap.James wasn't having any of it. He immediately dodged as Eleanor lowered her body. Thanks to his fast reflexes, she didn't manage to sit on him and instead ended up in the empty office chair.She ran her fingers through her hair. Now, she no longer looked pure and innocent, like a fairy. She was a femme fatale."Oh, James. You're still the same. Do you really hate me that much?"James didn't reply. An inexplicable look flickered in his deep eyes. No one could figure out what he was thinking. But Eleanor was used to James being like that. His mysteriousness pulled her in.She put one hand under her chin and continued, "I don't think there's anything good about your wife. Zach and the guys are really curious why you chose a woma

Eleanor knew she had no chance talking to him as equals, so she decided to just say it. "I know you want to be with her. I can help you. I have a plan to make everyone approve of your marriage."James was silent after she said that, but he didn't ask her to leave. He was willing to listen.Eleanor saw that and continued, "Among the four major prestigious families, plenty of stubborn old people are getting in the way of your marriage. You know that too."But if the Myers family gives you full support, I believe the rest won't be able to do anything to the Quigleys. That's the card that I'm putting on the table. Let's play a game.""What game?""I want to test whether Summer likes you or not."James immediately saw through Eleanor's plan. She wanted to prove that Summer didn't like him at all. She wanted to make him lose confidence in his marriage.He didn't care about playing such a game. There were plenty of well-respected seniors and shareholders among the four major prestigi

Seeing this, James asked coldly, "What? Are you scared now?""I'm not scared! But what if you lose? If you lose, you have to get divorced and marry me!"This was a gamble that would determine their fate.James was always conservative when it came to running his business. He only took risks when he was sure he would win. However, he wasn't confident about this so-called game. But he was confident about Summer. So, he said, "Alright, I agree. If I lose, I'll marry you."Just like that, the game began, while poor Summer was still in the dark.…After finishing her schedule for the day, Summer came back from the tea party and lay on the bed, exhausted. Beside her, Lexi was giving her a massage."Mrs. Quigley, you've had a long day.""Yeah, I think so too." Summer didn't know how many people she had interacted with throughout the day. In fact, she really disliked socializing with strangers. But Caroline said that she had to do so in order to become part of the Quigley family

"I'll ask the housekeeper to bring your meal over. Now, go to the piano room for your lesson," Caroline said in an irrefutable tone. If this had been the old days, she would be like a landowner exploiting peasants.Summer obviously didn't want to go, but she had no choice. It was her own fault for saying that she wasn't tired. That had given Caroline an excuse to give her extra lessons. In the end, like a diligent slave, Summer went for her piano lesson.According to the piano teacher, they were supposed to practice one simple song during the three-hour piano session.However, Summer had no energy at all and couldn't concentrate. Like a robot, she mechanically followed the teacher's instructions. She couldn't remember any of the essentials of playing the piano.When the lesson finally ended, Summer stumbled back to her room lifelessly. She couldn't understand why Caroline's attitude toward her was getting worse.Caroline hadn't had a good impression of her before they had gone

Summer listened to James and found his words reasonable, so she decided to wait for another month. Once that matter was settled, Summer brought up another crucial issue."James, you're close with Zach, right? Can you do me a favor?" Summer asked mysteriously. Her favor was to help play matchmaker for Kelly.Although James didn't know what Summer was thinking, he could tell from her expression that she was up to something. "What do you want to do?""Help me ask Zach out. If you ask him out, he will definitely come. I want to introduce him to a friend."James was too smart not to see through Summer's intentions right away. She obviously wanted to set up a blind date. He replied, "That won't do. He's not ready for a relationship now.""I know about his past. He's been hurt before, but what's the harm in trying again?"Summer added softly, "Aren't you the same? You obviously have no interest in women, but you still ended up marrying me. How do you know that Zach doesn't want someone

"Fooling around? You chose the wrong time to fool around."The Quigley residence was enormous. It had a magnificent main hall, but the other areas were slightly run down. After all, the manor had been around for some time. If one went deeper inside, they would notice how eerie the atmosphere was.That was why Summer felt uneasy when she walked through the dark and narrow corridors sometimes. She wouldn't dare to walk through them alone. It seemed that Howe was like a grown child who liked to play pranks. He had managed to scare her this time.Come to think of it, considering the fact that the manor was nearly 50 years old, the Quigleys had done a pretty good job of preserving its history. They were probably wealthy enough to build dozens of gorgeous manors, but they had never left this one.It was commendable. It seemed there was a good reason why the Quigley family could establish themselves as the head of the four major prestigious families. The older and larger the famil
