The President's Darling Chapter 273
Summer realized that Herbert and Caroline hadn't scolded her because of Susanne. This made everything more interesting. At first, Herbert and Caroline had treated Summer like a criminal, yet now, Summer had become Susanne's savior. She had no idea why Susanne had helped her. "I was the one who invited you to the forest. I also told you to open up the tent. Why did you help me?""I don't know. I must be too kind." Susanne masked her true feelings with a joke, but Summer could tell that she had only done that because she felt uncomfortable. Either way, Susanne had helped her. So, Summer said, "Thank you. If it wasn't for you, I would've—"Susanne suddenly interrupted her. "I don't need you to thank me. I should thank you instead."Summer didn't know what to say, so she simply looked at Susanne without speaking. Susanne was very embarrassed and turned away arrogantly. "Alright, I should've thanked you. I helped you because you helped me escape from the snakes. Without you, I

Susanne continued, "Summer, you have been swept up in the Quigleys' conflict. Howe views you as his enemy now.""Why?" Summer was confused. She hadn't done anything to Howe. "Because he wants to be the heir! It seems that you don't know this Quigley family rule. "Right now, James is the heir; he's not the head of the family. To become the head of the family, you must have a child first."Summer finally came to a realization. Was there a fight to become the heir of the Quigley family?Howe wanted James' position for himself. Therefore, he had come up with a plan to prevent James from becoming the head of the family by chasing Summer out of the family. One had to have a family first before they could become the head of the family. Since Summer was James' wife, she would have a child soon. As such, Howe came up with a plan to stop that from happening. Susanne saw that Summer had finally realized what was going on. "Howe looks idle, but he's very ambitious. He's always been

"You want to work with me?" Summer was dumbfounded. Why would Susanne want to work with her all of a sudden?Susanne explained, "Howe and Aunt Caroline are obviously your enemies. So, I've decided to help you. I'll help you become James' wife and Mrs. Quigley—officially."It was like she had changed into an entirely different person. She had hated Summer so much that she had wanted to kill her. But now she wanted to help Summer? What was going on?Was Susanne plotting something against her again? Summer thought that must be it. Susanne wouldn't be so kind.Susanne wasn't dumb; she saw the doubt on Summer's face. She knew what Summer was thinking and said, "Summer, I truly want to help you. If I wanted to hurt you, I wouldn't have told my dad and Aunt Caroline that I was the one who asked you to go to the forest."Well, that made sense. Susanne had had a great opportunity to get Summer in trouble, but she hadn't done it.Summer wanted to know why Susanne hadn't exposed her a

"Don't worry. I'm sure we can celebrate next time." Susanne was friendly and warm as she smiled sweetly. She was now genuinely gentle toward Summer compared to the past.She also joked and said, "Summer, you better not cry in a corner once I'm gone. I'll be back in a couple of months. We can have fun then.""Okay. I'll be waiting. Take care of yourself once you get there.""Of course I will. Otherwise, I won't be well enough to come back and meet you."Caroline and Herbert were surprised at Susanne and Summer's conversation. They had never expected the two to get along so well with each other, but they were glad that their relationship had improved.After all, Summer and Susanne represented the Quigley and Yancey families. The stronger their relationship became, the stronger the ties between the two families would be.But not everyone was happy to see them like this. Hiding behind the door, Howe gritted his teeth in spite when he saw how close Susanne and Summer were.He wanted

Caroline was still fixated on the matter of the baby. She kept finding reasons to urge Summer to give birth to a baby.But that week passed by calmly compared to before. That was, until another woman showed up.It was a sunny afternoon as the autumn breeze blew through the falling leaves. The weather was perfect for taking a stroll outside. Summer walked on the bustling streets downtown while Lexi escorted her.A woman walked toward them in the middle of the street. She looked familiar, but Summer couldn't remember her name immediately. The woman knew her, though. She looked at Summer with her beautiful eyes and gave her a warm smile."It's been a long time since we last met, Mrs. Quigley.""Yes, long time, no see." Summer felt awkward. The woman was a classic beauty with long hair and attractive eyes. Summer thought for a long time, only to remember that she met the woman at the tea party. But she still couldn't remember her name.The woman helpfully introduced herself. "I'm

Summer, Eleanor, and Lexi walked along the bustling street downtown and visited luxury stores for clothing and bags. Eleanor definitely came from one of the four major prestigious families. She was generous with her money, and she bought many branded items without hesitation.Summer couldn't bear splurging, even though James had given her money. One branded item was basically three months' worth of her old salary. It was just too much.But something good came out of shopping with Eleanor. Summer would help her pick items, and Eleanor would ask if Summer needed anything. If Summer chose something suitable, Eleanor would generously give it to her as a gift.Summer gladly accepted the gifts. Although she couldn't bear to buy them, it was different if they were gifted to her. These things cost very little to rich people like Eleanor. Why wouldn't Summer accept them?They bought plenty of items and went their separate ways before 10:00 pm.As Summer headed back home, she held two

Summer had long forgotten about Hank now that she was with James. She wasn't cold-hearted; time had just changed a lot of things.She believed that it would be the same for Eleanor. Even if Eleanor used to like James, James was married to Summer. She thought that Eleanor had probably given up.But Lexi had a different opinion. She knew Eleanor's true colors more than Summer did. She didn't want to let Summer know about the secret information she had on Eleanor, but seeing how naïve Summer was, she couldn't keep it to herself anymore."Mrs. Quigley, I think you need to know what kind of person Ms. Myers really is," Lexi said seriously.Summer looked at Lexi cluelessly and asked, "Why? I don't think there's anything fishy about Eleanor.""There is! She's very fishy. She's had several relationships before pursuing Mr. Quigley.""Oh… Well, that's not a big deal, isn't it?" Summer had also dated before marrying James. On the contrary, it would be weird if a person hadn't dated much.

It was quiet in the master bedroom. The stars were especially bright that night. Summer fell into a daze as she stood on the bright tiles."What's wrong?" James asked, "Did you not meet Eleanor today?""Yes, I met her. But how did you know?""Because she told me," James replied without looking at Summer. He was working and sat on his office chair with his back toward her.Summer felt ominous. Her sixth sense was telling her that James might be hiding something from her. Maybe she had become more alert because of everything she had gone through recently. She slowly went up to James.James also turned around to face her. His sharp, dark eyes met her gaze."What? Is there anything going on?" he asked. He sat upright, and the expression on his handsome face remained the same. It didn't seem like he was hiding anything.Looking at him, Summer started to question if it was all in her head. Anyone could be plotting against her in the Quigley residence, but not James.She shook her h
