The President's Darling Chapter 262
"Summer, we shouldn't let our family worry about us. Aunt Caroline will definitely scold us if she finds out that you stayed out so late."Susanne was very strong, so Summer couldn't pull away. As such, she could only follow after the former. Howe really couldn't blame her for this. After all, the forest was huge, and she didn't know where he'd hidden the tent.As the two walked back, they discovered a tent on the way out of the forest. Summer was stunned to see it. The tent was placed in such an obvious spot. It was just near the entrance to the forest. No wonder Howe hadn't mentioned where he'd put it.Summer hadn't seen the tent earlier because she'd been too nervous when she'd first entered the forest. Besides, the surroundings were too dark. The moonlight shone on the tent just as they were about to walk out of the forest. Hence, Summer was able to notice it this time. She was overjoyed to find it. Meanwhile, Susanne was confused. She pointed at the tent while asking

There were two small wounds on Susanne's ankle. She had been bitten by a snake! Blood flowed down her ankle and dripped onto the floor. Its scent filled the air. Even though Susanne looked very brave and hadn't screamed despite being bitten by a snake, her face was tensed up in pain. Summer was extremely afraid. Many snakes were crawling toward them. If she couldn't escape with Susanne, they would be doomed. In truth, Susanne was also very scared. She could only move with one foot and was unable to run. She held Summer's hand tightly and muttered, "Don't abandon me."She recalled what had happened 15 years ago. She and Howe had gone into the forest for an adventure, but they had encountered a group of stray dogs. Howe had abandoned her and run away by himself. Now, she was afraid that Summer would abandon her too. Yet Summer didn't do that. Instead, she carried Susanne on her back and said, "Don't worry. No matter what happens, I won't abandon you."Then, she ran with a

In fact, Howe might have wanted to harm Summer and Susanne at the same time. Summer cursed Howe in her head. She'd trusted him so much! Now she finally knew what he'd planned to do. It seemed that James had been right about Howe. The latter wasn't an innocent person at all. No wonder James had warned Summer to be careful with Howe so many times. However, Summer couldn't think about it at the moment. She had to take Susanne to the hospital. She couldn't do that on her own, so she decided to call someone. The first person she thought of was James, but he didn't pick up. The signal was very weak because they were near the forest. Summer's hopes were extinguished. The only thing she could do was drive Susanne to the closest hospital as quickly as possible. Even though she was afraid that Susanne would die on the way there, she had no other options. As such, she made up her mind on the spot. She certainly had to take Susanne to the hospital, but she had to conduct first aid o

Howe blamed Summer before she could do so first. It was obviously a part of his plan. She wouldn't have brought Susanne to the forest if he hadn't asked her to. Summer wanted to retort, but Caroline spoke up. "Summer, haven't you learned from your mistakes after your previous punishment? You brought Susanne out without telling me. If something bad happens to her, what are we going to do?"Herbert, who was beside her, said, "Yes. How could you bring my daughter out on a whim? Also, where's she?"The Quigleys were all there, including Norman and Caroline. It seemed that Howe had planned all of this beforehand. Without him, the other Quigleys wouldn't have shown up at the forest. This was the first time that Summer had fallen for such a serious trick. It seemed that his plan wasn't just to make Susanne leave the Quigley residence. He had other motives as well. Summer couldn't care about that anymore because Susanne had been poisoned by snake venom. As such, she immediately told

Susanne was Herbert's only living relative. If something bad happened to her, he would lose his meaning in life.Since the problem had been solved, he stared at Summer menacingly. Caroline was also glaring at Summer. Both elders were very intimidating and behaved hostilely toward her. As expected, once everyone went back to the Quigley residence, Caroline immediately scolded Summer in her room. "Tell me what happened. Why did you take Susanne to that remote place?""I just wanted to take a walk." Summer's voice was very soft. Susanne had almost died because of her. Since she was in the wrong, she couldn't retort, even if Caroline was furious with her. She thought of telling Caroline the truth about Howe's plan. But then again, Caroline wouldn't believe her. There was no evidence to prove that Howe had schemed this. Besides, even if Summer had had evidence, Howe would have destroyed all of it in advance. After that incident, Summer realized that Howe wasn't as innocent and

Since Caroline had said that she would settle the issue with Summer the next day, it meant that the latter would face a confrontation then. It was terrifying to think about what the punishment would be. Would it be life-threatening? Summer was overwhelmed with thoughts. If she continued to overthink, she would go crazy. However, she hoped that everything would turn out for the best. She decided to deal with it one step at a time. Once Summer left Caroline's room, she saw Howe waiting outside for her. He leaned against the wall with a weird grin on his face. He was shameless enough to meet her again. Summer almost began scolding Howe, but he covered her mouth first. "Summer, let's discuss this calmly. If you start screaming now, other people will notice us."That sounded logical. As such, Summer pulled Howe to an empty room on the third floor. It was a guest room. Since it was empty, she could confront him there. "You bastard! Why did you set me up?" Summer rarely cursed.

In other words, Howe hadn't just been targeting Susanne. He also wanted to get rid of Summer!After all, if he didn't want to kill Susanne, once she got out, everyone would have blamed Summer for taking her to the forest. Then, they would all give Summer a hard time.Summer narrowed her eyes. She realized that Howe wasn't as innocent as he appeared to be. "I'd underestimated you, Howe."Howe waved his hands and pretended to look confused. "Summer, don't you trust me?""Yes. You didn't want to kill Susanne. If you wanted to do that, you wouldn't have taken a doctor with you. But you brought everyone else with you so that I would be chased out of the house on top of Susanne leaving!"Susanne would have to leave the Quigley residence since she was hurt by snake venom. Even if she recovered, Herbert would take her back home because he was worried. On the other hand, Summer would be blamed for breaking the Quigleys' family rules. Moreover, she would also be punished for bringing

Before Howe could say anything more, Summer had already left. The door slammed shut with a bang, leaving him alone in the room. The place was silent, and the moonlight was dim. Just then, Howe's smile faded. His expression turned to one of hatred. "Summer, you're rather clever. You didn't fall for my tricks, but that's fine." Howe sat down and crossed his arms. He continued muttering to himself, "Anyway, you'll leave this place one day. I won't let you be happy with him."…At the same time, Summer returned to the master bedroom on the third floor.Lexi was waiting outside the room for her. When she saw Summer, she hurriedly walked over. "Are you alright, Mrs. Quigley? I heard that you went to the forest and were attacked by snakes. Were you bitten?"Lexi was extremely anxious because she was Summer's personal bodyguard. She had failed to fulfill her duties, so she felt guilty. Yet, Summer didn't blame Lexi at all. After all, she had intentionally avoided the bodyguards whe
