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

Now that they had a way out, Summer no longer had concerns and decided to go out with Howe to have some fun.However, there needed to be some ground rules. For one, they couldn't come back too late. Now that Summer and James were sleeping in the same bed, he might worry if she didn't return. So, they agreed to come back in two hours.After changing into simple black sportswear, Summer followed Howe out.In the back garden of the manor, there was a broken hole that could accommodate one person to come and go freely. This must be the secret passage that Howe mentioned.Howe shared that he had dug that hole five years ago, when he had still been a student. He would use it to go out when he couldn't sleep at night. The reason why no one had discovered this hole after so long was because this area had the fewest security patrols. Howe had looked into it and found that out. He had used a big plant to cover up the hole, and it had remained unnoticed.After passing through the hole,

But that wouldn't do. Summer had worked so hard to get to this point with James, not because she liked him, but because it was a promise.She had said that she would be willing to give herself up if James could help her save Charter Corporation.That meant that her freedom didn't belong to her now, but to James. Unless James was the one who asked for it, she wouldn't divorce him."Howe, I don't know if marrying your brother is a good or bad thing, but it's not up to me to decide whether we stay together. The decision lies in your brother's hands.""Is that so? But have you ever considered that if you insist on getting a divorce, James would definitely agree?" Howe paused slightly, then revealed a gentle smile. He seemed to genuinely care about James' and Summer's well-being.He continued, "If you divorce, everyone benefits. First of all, Mom would definitely agree. Secondly, James can also find a better partner, and you will be free. Moreover, your family's business won't be aff
