The President's Darling Chapter 217
James asked, "What is it? Tell me.""If I tell you, will you promise me?" She had asked that as if she had been scared that James wouldn't agree. Her little eyes had gleamed in anticipation.James hadn't known what she wanted to say, but he had nodded and agreed anyway. "Tell me. I'll promise you anything.""Great! Well, I'm going to say it." Susanne had taken a deep breath and held his hand. She said solemnly, "You must marry me when we become adults. You can't break your promise.""Okay, I'll marry you. I won't break my promise."Since they had been kids, they had thought of marrying each other as they were good playmates. It was an innocent, pure promise. But because of that promise, Susanne had thought of James as her dream husband all these years.But all good things came to an end. After the promise on the balcony, James had accompanied Susanne to the door downstairs. Herbert had already been waiting there.Susanne had kept looking back at James reluctantly, with affec

Susanne closed her eyes and grew calm after her realization. "James, I understand now. I'm a family member to you, and so are you to me. I won't have any other thoughts from now on.""That's good, Susanne."James was glad. At least Susanne was no longer obsessed with him or thought that her feelings were romantic love. But his positive feelings didn't continue for long.The next second, Susanne said, "James, since we're cousins, I think I have the responsibility to help you find an excellent wife. Summer doesn't fit that standard."James' eyes darted toward her, feeling speechless. Susanne's feelings toward him had changed, but she hadn't accepted Summer.He wanted to say something, but Susanne stood up excitedly. She declared, "Summer's not qualified to join the Quigley family."I know Dad and Aunt Caroline have certain opinions of her, and I have to say that I agree with them. Summer's status and credentials—nothing about her is a match for you, James. If you are to marry, it s

Summer was startled when she heard it, but she quickly hid the look on her face. She asked calmly, "I don't understand what you're saying.""Summer, it's so obvious that you're lying. If you don't tell me the truth, I can't help you, even if I want to."Summer hesitated when she heard that. She didn't know what Howe was thinking, but she really needed his help at this time. Caroline kept making things hard for her, while Susanne could go crazy and kill her at any time. Summer couldn't cope with the two of them coming at her like this.Howe was now a beacon of hope for her to fight against Caroline and Susanne. But she was also wary of him. James had warned her that Howe wasn't the person he appeared to be. Although James hadn't said much about Howe, it was enough for Summer to be cautious.Everyone had their secrets in the Quigley family. Each of them was formidable.Howe looked at Summer as she stayed silent for a long time. He knew she had her concerns. He said, "Summer, y

Howe's offer was quite attractive. He would solve one of Summer's greatest problems if he could drive Susanne away.Summer asked, "Can you do that?""Of course I can, but I need you to work with me. Three days later, you must lure her to a campsite in the suburbs of Rosseera City. If you can do that, my plan will succeed."He sounded confident about his plan, yet Summer wanted to know what exactly he would do. She asked, but he only said, "It's a secret. You can't know what it is yet. If you know about it, the plan might fail."Summer grew doubtful. Why must she lure Susanne to the campsite? How would that make Susanne return to the Yanceys' home earlier? She couldn't understand.Howe stepped forward and patted her shoulder. "Rest assured, Summer. If you do as I say, we can definitely make her leave. After all, it's not good for any of us if she stays here."Summer seemed to sense something. Howe said that it wasn't good for "any of them" if Susanne stayed.Summer could understa

Caroline had been keeping a close eye on things recently. Apart from occasionally sending some supplements, she also bought many prenatal education and baby products for Summer. She had even hired some experienced mothers to give Summer lessons on pregnancy and even sex education, much to the latter's embarrassment.After all, giving birth was a serious matter. But no matter how closely Caroline supervised, she couldn't oversee Summer and James' intimate lives. So, whether or not they wanted to have a child still depended on Summer's willingness.Susanne heard Summer mention that she had piano lessons later and said, "Why don't you skip it? Dad and I are going golfing later. You should join us, Summer."The invitation came out of nowhere, which made Summer wary. Suspecting that it probably wasn't anything good, she came up with an excuse. "I can't. This lesson can't be postponed.""Why not? Can't it just be canceled?" As she asked, Susanne looked in Caroline's direction. She kn

The atmosphere became strange. While Howe and Susanne were talking, Summer noticed something—Howe's gaze seemed to carry some fear, as if he were scared of Susanne. This confirmed Summer's suspicion that something had happened between the two. As for what it was, she didn't know. yetBut there was one thing that Summer was sure about—she was going golfing with Susanne in the afternoon.…At noon, James was taking care of some documents at Quigley Group. His handsome face showed how focused he was as the sunlight cast shadows on his profile, highlighting his contours. In front of him was a young woman dressed in a white T-shirt.The woman suddenly spoke. "Are you planning to start our game yet?"James' expression remained indifferent, as if he hadn't heard what she had said.The woman appeared unwilling to let it go and asked, "What's wrong? We both agreed on this game. Do you not want to do it?"This woman was Eleanor Myers. She had previously made a bet with James to test w

It was a bright afternoon, and the sun was beaming in the clear, blue sky. Beneath it lay a lush, green golf course.On the eastern side of the golf course stood a tall building, the golf club, where the wealthy people of Rosseera City often came to play golf.Norman and Herbert had already changed into golfing attire and were playing on the course. Meanwhile, Summer and Susanne were in the changing room, getting ready.The changing room was spacious, with a row of neatly arranged lockers filled with sportswear of various sizes. Next to the clothes were golf clubs specially designed for women.Susanne held one gold club and carefully examined it. She chose a red arc-shaped club with a metallic body that gleamed with a fiery red glow under the sunlight.Holding the club, Susanne swung it forcefully. Despite her delicate and beautiful appearance, she gave off a somewhat frightening vibe. Summer felt uneasy watching her, afraid that she might do something to her. Hence, Summer stay

Susanne was a schizophrenic who spoke capriciously. She said she wouldn't hurt Summer now, but there was no telling if she would suddenly change her mind in the future.Summer shook her head to express her disbelief, to which Susanne replied, "I've already given up on my feelings for James. We're just cousins. I won't hurt you just to monopolize him, so don't worry."This time, her explanation was much more sincere. More importantly, she spoke very calmly, unlike before, when she had gestured exaggeratedly when she had spoken. It seemed that her words could be trusted."Since you won't hurt me, does that mean you won't cause me trouble in the future?" asked Summer. "No, I'll still keep bothering you until you divorce James."Summer was at a loss. Hadn't Susanne said that she had already given up on James? Why would Susanne still bother her? Summer cursed inwardly at how unreliable Susanne was.Susanne spoke again. "I don't want you to divorce because I'm trying to steal him
