The President's Darling Chapter 241
When one of the stray dogs had noticed Howe and Susanne, it had bared its canines and leaped over to them after letting out several loud barks. They had been in an extremely dangerous situation. When Howe saw that, he had immediately turned to run away out of fear. But Susanne had tugged at a corner of his shirt and sobbed, "Howe, I'm scared!""Let go! I'm scared too! I'm terrified!" Howe had been so scared that he had wrenched Susanne's hand off his shirt without further contemplation. However, she'd had a vise-like grip on his shirt, so Howe had had no choice but to push her away to free himself.Susanne had stumbled and fallen into the mud. It had given Howe the perfect opportunity to escape, so he had fled without so much as a backward glance. Susanne's cries had echoed through the woods as the stray dog had lunged at her. It looked rabid and had a bloody stench. The look in its eyes had been feral, and its fur had been a matted mess. So when Susanne had seen it, sh

"They did nothing about it. After the incident, Howe came and begged me not to tell anyone about it, so it became our secret. "Dad and Aunt Caroline had thought that everything was just an accident, so they didn't chastise us too much about it," Susanne answered.So that was Susanne and Howe's secret. Now that she learned about this secret, Summer understood why Howe couldn't wait for Susanne to leave. Susanne's presence in the Quigley residence probably made him very uncomfortable. No wonder he wanted her to leave as soon as possible. "Alright. I understand the full picture now." Summer nodded satisfactorily. "Can you trust me now?" Susanne quickly asked. "Of course not," Summer responded flatly. What Susanne had just told her wasn't much of a secret. She had intended to use the so-called secret to gain Summer's trust, but what she'd told Summer couldn't be used against her. Even if the secret was exposed, it would pose no harm to her at all. Instead, it would do more

The housekeepers were actually happy with the arrangement. After all, Summer was doing their job for them, so they had a lot more free time to themselves. After cleaning for about an hour, Summer felt like she couldn't even straighten up anymore. She could be considered quite a pampered person with a relatively wealthy background, and she had never had to do any hard labor. It was only natural that her body couldn't take such vigorous work.Lexi could only watch from the side since she had received orders from Luca that she couldn't help Summer. She couldn't help but worry about Summer. "Mrs. Quigley, you should take a break if you're tired. Madam Caroline never specified when you needed to be done with the chores.""I can sleep earlier if I finish my job earlier."Summer was already worn out by the flower arrangement class, so she wanted to go to bed earlier if possible. She wondered how long she would continue to have such a busy schedule. These days, she felt as though sh

That came as a huge blow to Summer. Cleaning wasn't just as simple as sweeping the floors and wiping the windows. Instead, she had to clean the entire manor thoroughly, so an additional day of it was a big deal to her.Summer wanted to ask for Caroline's forgiveness so that she could spare her the extra day, but when she met the latter's fierce glare, she cowered and dared not say a word. She felt very wronged. She had never been treated like this before in her whole life. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she held them back with sheer will. Unfortunately for her, Caroline noticed how dismal she looked. Had Summer obediently accepted the punishment, things would have ended there. But when Caroline saw how wronged and aggrieved Summer looked, her rage was stoked."What? Are you about to cry now? Are you not happy about the punishment? Why are you crying?""I'm not, Mom.""How dare you say you're not? Look at you. You look just like those wenches off the side of the road, and

Caroline immediately became anxious. She took a step forward and asked, "What are you doing, James? W-Why are you wiping the staircase without any reason?"It was strange. James was no ordinary man. He was the successor of the Quigley family and the president of Quigley Group. He was a king in the office who could decide where billions of dollars would go just by signing a contract. How could he do work that belonged to the lower class?Caroline stopped James. "What are you doing, James? Put that down and go back for some rest.""Why?""Do I need to say it out loud? You're not supposed to do this work!"James retaliated with another question. "If I'm not supposed to, then is Summer supposed to?"Caroline understood now. James wanted to stand up for Summer after she had punished the latter. James couldn't retaliate verbally, so he was proving that he wanted to shoulder the punishment along with Summer with his actions.That made Caroline speechless. Her goal was to punish Sum

Charter Corporation was similar to Quigley Group in that real estate was an important sector for the company, but it couldn't hold a candle to Quigley Group in terms of scale and amount of capital invested. Charter Corporation would only build an apartment complex on a modest piece of land at most, while Quigley Group constructed entire neighborhoods and dozens of buildings at once. Summer stared at the laptop screen. When she came closer, James shut his laptop immediately and turned to glare at her coldly.She knew that what she had done wasn't appropriate since James was surely dealing with confidential business-related matters. She had only looked out of curiosity, but it was still something people frowned upon. Summer took a step back before explaining, "I… I was just taking a look at what you're up to. I didn't mean anything else by that.""Summie, I'm sorry. I'm just a bit sensitive about it."It was normal for him to be sensitive, as he was the president of Quigley Gr

James' help would be ideal. Charter Corporation wasn't really in a good situation at the moment, and selling that building would surely be beneficial to the future of the company. However, Summer didn't want to owe James any favors. "We have our own ways of expanding the company, James. Your help would be nice, but I think—""I'm not helping you without any reason," James interrupted Summer. "It would be more accurate to say that I'm helping Charter Corporation as a form of compensation."Summer didn't understand that. What did he have to compensate for? When she asked James, he answered, "I learned about how my mom used the Quigleys' influence to have the authorities inspect Charter Corporation. I feel very guilty, so this land purchase is compensation for that.""So that's why." After he brought the incident up, it surfaced in Summer's memory. Caroline had had the authorities inspect Charter Group just to intimidate her. She'd been really worried about it.So, that was why

"This is a wedding ring. Until now, you haven't worn a wedding ring." James wasn't wrong. Although Summer and James were already married, they didn't have wedding rings. Summer's ring finger was still bare. But, after a moment of consideration, Summer rejected James' ring. "I know that we're already married, but I can't wear this ring. You should know why." "Because you haven't fallen for me?" "Yes, I haven't," Summer replied. Those were her honest feelings. She did have positive feelings about him, and they were gradually increasing, like a budding flower. However, the flower hadn't bloomed yet. It still needed time to grow. Thus, Summer couldn't accept his ring. Upon hearing that, a downcast look appeared on James' face. In fact, he had spent a fair bit of effort choosing that ring. He had even sought a few female employees' opinions at the company. He had only purchased the ring after they had told him that it was a good choice. In the end, his proposal had faile
