The President's Darling Chapter 184
James looked mysterious as he took out his wallet from his pocket and waved a black card in front of the ticket seller. The ticket seller was surprised when she saw the card and immediately politely said, "You're... Mr. Quigley?""I'd like a seat in the middle of the theater. Can you help me with that?" asked James."Of course," said the ticket seller.The ticket seller busied herself with the booking system behind the counter and appeared with two movie tickets. Then, she respectfully handed the tickets to James with a smile and said, "Mr. Quigley, I hope you have a good time watching the movie."Summer was confused by the outcome. As they entered the cinema, she asked, "What did you do? How did you suddenly get the movie tickets?""I showed the ticket seller my business card," said James."Your business card?" Summer was stunned.She hadn't expected James' business card to have such an effect. It had just gotten them two tickets for a movie that had been fully booked!Cou

As Summer went through the movies, she realized that she should ask James what he liked to watch. However, he wasn't well-versed in films. He simply replied, "Any movie is fine. I can watch anything."Alright then. Since it was a date, Summer thought they should definitely watch a romantic film. She chose a local film that had just been released. When it started playing, the display in the theater was stunning, with vivid, life-like visuals. The two of them sat together on the couch and immersed themselves in the movie.However, halfway through the movie, Summer could only feel the love depicted on the screen, not the real love between them. Even though she and James were sitting on the same couch, there was a fist's space between them. At that moment, she couldn't help but think that James was truly a fool.Usually, at a time like this, most guys would secretly hold the woman's hand. Watching a movie was a great opportunity to build a connection. Yet James was only fixated

It seemed that the reputation of the four prestigious families was well-deserved. They were not only wealthy but were also true elites.However, Summer hadn't really seen how excellent the other heirs besides James were. He was indeed an elite, but what about Bradly? Summer had had several interactions with him, and the impression he gave was that of a playboy, someone who was idle and only knew how to chase after women.Well, no one could blame her for thinking that way. After all, Bradly never brought anything good whenever he appeared.However, Summer was a bit curious. James mentioned that an heir needed to be proficient in at least four languages to be considered qualified. How many languages did James know? Was it just the required four?When Summer asked, James replied, "I'm proficient in eight languages.""Eight languages? Are you kidding me?" Summer's eyes widened. She looked at James like she was looking at a freak.Summer herself only knew her native language and E

Summer hadn't expected James to know so many types of dancing. However, he was an educated elite, so naturally, he had learned ballroom dancing. Yet, that wasn't her question. "I wanted to ask if you knew casual dancing styles, like hip-hop or jazz dance." While she spoke, Summer began dancing. She moved gently and sensually. She had learned how to dance from a friend for a dance performance. Then, James looked a little helpless. "I don't know those dance styles. They weren't considered appropriate for me."It seemed that James wasn't entirely flawless. Hip-hop dancing was mostly for entertainment and was rarely needed for social events. Besides, the elites in society wouldn't disregard etiquette to dance sexily at important balls. However, Summer itched to dance passionately, so she dragged James to a bar. Every day at 7:00 pm, that place would start blasting disco music. Moreover, many young men and women danced there casually. Some of them would do hip-hop dancing moves
The President's Darling Chapter 180
There was a hip-hop style called breakdancing. One often spun on the floor with their head while supporting themselves with both hands when they did that move. Another popular move was the flare. James managed to dance those difficult moves with ease. Soon, many people started surrounding him while he continued dancing passionately in front of Summer. His movements were as fluent as a professional dancer's. He looked aloof, which made others feel that he was difficult to approach. Still, his dance skills were extraordinary. The song ended, and those on the dance floor clapped enthusiastically for James. Then, everyone started talking about him. Most of them were frequent customers at the bar and knew everyone else. However, no one recognized who James was. Meanwhile, Summer saw a crowd gathering and sensed trouble, so she pulled James away. Just then, a neatly dressed, middle-aged man approached them kindly. "Please wait, sir. Can I ask you a question?""What is it?""C

It would be easy to get out of that situation if she were the only one stopping James from leaving. However, after she prevented him from leaving, a few other young women stopped him as well. They treated him like a toy and kept tugging on him. It seemed like they were going to pull James to pieces. At that moment, the boss of the bar continued talking to James. "What do you think, sir? Let's work together. Would you like to discuss this in my room?" The issue was getting out of hand. Apart from the young women, the boss of the bar also wanted to take advantage of James. Summer couldn't stand it anymore. She yelled, "Everyone, stop it. He's my husband. What are you doing?"This made everyone unhappy. They treated James like a precious toy, and they didn't want Summer to take him away. Two scantily clad young women with dyed hair walked up to Summer fiercely. "Fuck off. Leave this place. You're so shameless. How dare you call him your husband, bitch?"Goodness! It was the

James was very gentle. He carefully tripped the women and held their waists, then placed them carefully on the ground. It didn't look like he was fighting at all. At first, the women were afraid of being hurt by him. However, since James was so gentle with them, they rushed to him. Even if they couldn't have him, they could at least hug him. Meanwhile, Summer felt something was amiss, so she wanted to pull James away. Yet, the middle-aged boss stopped her. "Miss, you're this man's wife, right? Why don't you let him work at my bar? You'll be pleased with the salary that I'm offering for him. How does 50 thousand dollars a month sound?"A regular office worker wouldn't be able to earn half that amount of money. The boss of the bar was very generous. Though it was enough to hire a professional dancer, it wasn't sufficient for James. After all, James was the Quigleys' heir and the president of Quigley Group. Therefore, 50 thousand dollars wasn't enough to hire him. In fact, James

Summer recalled how terrible the incident was earlier. They were very helpless and didn't know what to do. Meanwhile, James looked very calm. Then, he smiled softly. Though it didn't last for long, Summer could clearly see that he was grinning. "Summie, I was very happy because I was with you." After that, he lightly flicked his finger at Summer's forehead. Even though his smile vanished, the warmth in his eyes remained. Just then, Summer's heart skipped a beat. It was as if she had been shot by Cupid. That wasn't right! She forced herself to stop overthinking and guessed that James was trying to woo her. Although he didn't have much dating experience, he couldn't be underestimated. After all, he was a genius. Wouldn't it be easy for him to learn the art of seduction like Bradley? Summer assumed that he was pretending to like her so she would fall for him. She realized it was risky. She was his trophy wife now. She had just gotten into a conflict with Caroline and desp

"Of course. I'm the chairman of Charter Corporation, after all. Why can't I continue working? I took care of Charter Corporation back when you got married, didn't I?" Fred patted his chest firmly, looking quite confident.Summer also believed that her father would be able to manage the company well if she left it in his care.Fred was the founder of Charter Corporation, after all. He had worked on it for decades, and he was the person who knew it the best. If he was the one taking over, Summer definitely had no reason to worry.However, Fred had already retired, so he should be relaxing at home at his age. Summer felt a little bad if he was suddenly asked to manage the company again.James comforted Summer, saying, "Summie, why don't you let him help you? Of all the people in Charter Corporation, he must be the person who's the most invested in the company other than you.""That's right." Fred smiled confidently. "How can I not care about my own company? Don't worry, Summer. Just

They were having a meal right now, so where was Fred going? Summer asked in confusion, "Dad, where are you going?"When Summer asked the question, Fred had already left the living room. He seemed to be on his way back to his room.Amelia explained, "He's preparing a gift for you.""Preparing a gift? What gift?"Soon, the gift Amelia mentioned was brought over to them.Fred was carrying a large cardboard box, which he processed to place on the table. He retrieved children's toys, baby clothes, and a jigsaw puzzle from the box.Summer was speechless when she saw that. So this was the sort of gift Amelia was talking about. But why would Fred give her these things out of the blue?Holding the clothes, Fred explained gleefully, "Several months ago, Amelia and I were shopping when we came across some baby products. We were wondering when you'd have children, and we feared that you wouldn't be able to buy all the baby products you would need, so we bought some ahead of time."Summer s

Nearby, James faked a cough as if there was another matter at hand. Noticing something off with his expression, Summer thought that he choked on something, so she asked, "Would you like some water?""No, thanks… Summie, did you forget why we came here in the first place?"Thanks to James' reminder, Summer finally remembered that she wasn't here for a simple visit. She had to tell her parents the good news of her pregnancy.At that moment, Amelia and Fred were leisurely enjoying the food. Summer knew that if they heard the news, they might get overwhelmed with emotion, so she decided to give them a heads-up. "Dad, Mom, we actually came here to tell you an important piece of news. Maybe you can stop eating for now.""What's the matter?" Fred asked curiously."Well… This is a very serious matter. Before I break the news, I'd like you to be as calm as possible. Please don't get too worked up."When Amelia and Fred heard that, they exchanged glances. They had no idea what exactly Summ

For example, Summer and James were taking a walk in the park. They might look like they were alone, but in reality, more than a dozen bodyguards were hiding in bushes and various corners of the park. To protect the child, the Quigleys pulled out all the stops to ensure Summer's safety."Alright, I get it." Summer chose to compromise. She was living a wonderful life at the Quigley residence, after all, so she felt like she shouldn't ask for too much.Also, as Caroline had said, Summer would regain freedom once she gave birth to the child. Summer would be able to live her happy life with James then, and Caroline wouldn't be around to nag her about the child.The next morning, the Quigleys arranged for a luxurious limousine to send Summer and James to the Charter Estate. Amelia and Fred already knew that their daughter would be coming over, so they were waiting at the entrance. When they saw their dear daughter, elated expressions appeared on their faces."Summer, you're back! We've p
The President's Darling Chapter 929
Hence, Summer could do whatever she pleased. If Caroline dared to restrict her freedom, Summer would be upset, and Caroline wouldn't want that.As Summer walked along the even path of the park, she did some stretches to loosen up. "It's a nice life. Before this, I was worried that something bad might happen if I returned to the Quigley residence, but now, it looks like I was overthinking it. Caroline is very good to me, and the others respect me too.""I'm glad to hear that. I was also worried that you wouldn't be able to get used to staying in the Quigley residence. You're pregnant, after all." James glanced at Summer's belly, his eyes filled with fatherly love and tenderness. By the looks of it, he had intended to be a father a long time ago."Hold your horses. I've only been pregnant for three weeks. They say that the baby will be born after ten months of pregnancy, and it's not even been a month yet, let alone ten." With that, Summer suddenly held James' hand and guided it tow

What would it mean to Howe if he gave up on the position of the head of the family? It meant that he would have to depend on someone else to survive, and he would be giving up on glory and riches along with a life filled with extravagance.Thanks to his wealthy background, Howe was already used to life like this. If James became the head of the family in the future, he might exercise his authority as the head of the family to limit Howe's movements. Howe would be stripped of freedom.Maeve felt that Howe was right as well. Her current life of luxury was built upon mountains of cash. If Howe didn't get to be the head of the family, he would definitely face restrictions."Howe, I want you to be the head of the family as well, but do you really have confidence in your capabilities? Your brother is so outstanding, and he's the official heir, too."Maeve hit the nail on the head. This was exactly what Howe was worried about as well. There was a world of difference between him and James,

So, when Caroline asked her to stay in the Quigley residence, Summer somewhat reluctantly agreed.At noon the next day, dark clouds filled the sky, making it look bleak. However, in the bustling Rosseera City, things were as lively as usual.In a luxury hotel situated in the city center, Howe was sitting on a chair, holding a glass of wine in one hand while his other arm was wrapped around the waist of a beautiful woman. At that moment, his expression was as gloomy as the weather.The young woman was good at reading the room. Extending her fingers, she traced circles on Howe's pink shirt. She asked, "What's the matter, Howe? You seem to be in a bad mood today. Could there be anyone in Rosseera City who's bold enough to offend you?""Hmph…" Howe didn't say a word. Instead, he downed the whole glass of wine.Noticing that he wasn't saying anything, the young woman pursed her lips and planted a kiss on his cheek. Smiling, she asked, "What's going on? Are you going to say that women w

James didn't want to agree to this arrangement. Even though it wasn't explicitly mentioned, he was fully aware that Summer didn't want to stay at the Quigley residence. Hence, he said, "I'll take care of Summer, Mom. I even hired Tina to look after her needs. You know how dependable Tina is. With her around, everything will be fine.""Nonsense. Even if Tina was there, there's only so much she can do on her own. This Quigley grandchild is extremely important. I can't just let her handle everything by herself.""That won't be an issue, Mom. Besides, Summer won't feel comfortable staying here either." Summer's feelings were James' top priority. Caroline could see this as well. In the end, the decision was Summer's to make. So, instead of addressing James, she turned to Summer and asked, "Would you like to stay at the Quigley residence, Summie?"If it were up to Summer, she'd say no. There was no way she would want to stay here out of her own free will. Just the mere sight of Caroli

Howe was the quietest person at the table. He was dressed in a shirt with floral patterns, and his hair was slightly curly. He was as still as a rock. He had a look of terror on his face for a while now—he didn't know that Summer was pregnant.Now that his parents were talking about it, he immediately asked, "Pregnant? Is Summer pregnant?""Yes, she is—haven't you heard?" Caroline replied. "No… How is she suddenly pregnant? I didn't hear anything about it until now." "I only found out recently as well." Caroline's hand moved over her mouth before she continued, "Isn't it great? You're going to be an uncle soon.""Yeah. I can't wait." Howe put on a forced smile.Everyone in the family was overjoyed by the news—except Howe Quigley. The Quigleys had a family rule. If the heir had a child, his position as the head of the family would be set in stone.So, if James welcomed a baby, Howe would lose the opportunity to take his place as the family heir. By that logic, he would never be
