"James, we're husband and wife, right?" Summer approached him again. This time, she stood directly in front of him."Yes, we're husband and wife.""Since we're husband and wife, we should be honest with each other, right?""Yes."Seeing him nod, Summer realized her efforts weren't in vain. So, she placed her hand on his shoulder and stared intently into his eyes. "Mr. Quigley, please tell me honestly now. Is there anything about Eleanor that you haven't told me?""No." James' reply was crisp and came without hesitation. It didn't seem like he was lying.Two possibilities came to Summer's mind. Either James really had nothing to hide, or he was a great actor who was capable of pretending that there was nothing to hide even if there was. For a moment, Summer didn't know whether she should believe him or not. While she hesitated, James suddenly stood up and said, "Summie, are you doubting me?""I… I'm not." Although Summer said no, her body language betrayed her. She looked r

"Summie, I need your help with two things. Firstly, how is the first one going?"Kelly had said there were two things she needed Summer's help with. For a moment, Summer couldn't figure out what she needed help with, but she knew one of them was helping Kelly find a partner.When Kelly had left before, Summer had promised to help her find a wealthy husband. At that time, she had decided on her target—Bradly, one of the figures from the four major prestigious families. However, Bradly was a philanderer. Sending Kelly to him would be like sending a lamb into the lion's den.Summer said regretfully, "About that… It might not work out.""Why not? Didn't you have someone to introduce me to?""I did, but later I realized that he's not a suitable partner." Summer proceeded to explain Bradly's character, which infuriated Kelly."Never introduce someone like that to me! I don't care if he's rich. Even though I want to find a husband who's well-off, money isn't the only requirement."He

"Of course. I want to find a job that's simple, easy, and pays well. So, I thought you could help me."Summer's face fell when she heard Kelly talking. A simple, easy, and high-paying job? What kind of job would that be? No wonder Kelly couldn't find one.No one could blame Summer for not helping Kelly; she simply couldn't help. So, she refused, "You'd better find a job yourself and work hard. That's the right thing to do.""No, I've been so tired lately. I just want to find a more relaxed job." After saying that, Kelly leaned over and placed both hands on Summer's shoulders. She said in a clear and sweet voice, "Please help me, Summer. We've been good friends for so many years. Won't you help me?"After she said that, Summer really had no choice. Kelly had relied on her since high school until now. To a certain extent, Summer became like an older sister to her. Summer's heart softened, and she hesitated.Seeing her hesitate, Kelly seized the opportunity. "Isn't your husband

A woman in her 40s stood in the middle of the room. She had wrinkles on her face, but she didn't look too old because she took good care of herself. When she saw Caroline and Summer, she greeted them respectfully. "Hello, Madam Summer, Madam Caroline.""Amber, I asked you here today to teach my daughter-in-law some knowledge. Just do as I told you before." After Caroline instructed her, Amber Bishop nodded.Then, Caroline told Summer to stay there and learn from Amber. She didn't specify what Summer would be learning. She just gave a few more instructions and left.Summer and Amber were left alone in the spacious room. Amber had a fair and tender face and was full of smiles. She looked like a friendly person. Summer greeted her, saying, "Hello, how should I address you?""Madam Summer, just call me Amber. We don't have much time. Let's begin learning."Summer was puzzled as to what she was supposed to be learning, and Amber didn't explain much either. She simply asked Summer t

Summer wanted to leave, but Amber wouldn't let her. Caroline had paid a large sum of money to invite her over. If Summer left, wouldn't she have to return the money?Amber grabbed Summer and pleaded, "Madam Summer, you can't go. Madam Caroline wants me to teach you properly." After a pause, she added, "In fact, there's nothing to be embarrassed about. If you can't conceive a child with Mr. Quigley, it could be because the methods weren't used properly. "I'd like to know how you usually do things with Mr. Quigley."Any adult would understand what Amber meant by "things". The point was that Summer had never done it with James. The two slept on the same bed, but they never had any physical contact, let alone engage in that kind of activity.Feeling awkward, Summer shook her head. "Amber, I already said I don't need to learn about that.""Madam Summer, you must be shy. Listen to me, if you want to have children, the best position to use is missionary. This is beneficial for the f

Caroline was a shrewd person. After giving Amber a glare, she waved her hand and said, "You can leave. Luca will compensate you."The so-called compensation was a large sum of money. When Amber heard this, her eyes lit up, and she bowed. "Thank you, Madam Caroline. Thank you."After that, Amber finally left. But Summer and Lexi were in trouble.Caroline had sharp eyes and an equally sharp tongue. She went to Lexi and said, "Lexi, right? I know you're the bodyguard James hired. Your duty is to keep Summer safe, not to disobey my orders. Don't think I can't do anything to you."Lexi didn't dare say anything and just let Caroline scold her. But Caroline wasn't one to be lenient. Maybe with Summer, she would just say a few words, but she wouldn't be so kind to others.After reprimanding them, Caroline waved her hand and pointed at Lexi. "You're fired. Luca will compensate you according to the labor laws. Now, leave this manor."Lexi was thunderstruck. Her job was to protect Summer. S
The President's Darling Chapter 287
Three bodyguards struggled to restrain Lexi, while the last bodyguard carried Summer out as if he were carrying a kitten.Summer was filled with fear. She hadn't misheard Caroline. The latter had said that she was going to be taken to the dark room.Summer knew about the dark room. She heard that it was a room specially built for punishing people. In the past, Howe and James had been locked in there when they had done something wrong. It was pitch-black inside the room, with no food or water, and the space was extremely narrow. Summer had never been inside, but just hearing about it made her tremble with fear."No, I don't want to go there." Summer struggled, but it was useless. In the Quigley residence, Caroline's words were absolute, and no one could disobey her.The bodyguards were like robots, devoid of any sympathy. They forcibly took Summer to a room at the end of the corridor on the first floor. As she slowly approached the dark room, Summer's fear grew and overwhelmed

Summer was afraid that she might end up in such a situation. Although she was calm at that moment, being locked in a dark room for a long period of time could cause her to collapse mentally.Damn it! Summer cursed inwardly. She hadn't asked Caroline how long she had to be locked up in there. One or two hours would be no big deal, but if it were a few days, it would be a death sentence!What was she supposed to do if she needed to use the toilet? There was no restroom there. Did she have to urinate or defecate in this room?Countless worries filled her mind, like garbage piling up. Now, the garbage had filled up and was overflowing."James, when will you come back?" Her only hope was James. If he came back and found out she was locked up, he would definitely figure out a way to save her.Summer firmly believed in that. That millennia-old iceberg would definitely come to her rescue!Time passed by slowly. In the small, confined, dark room, there was no concept of time. Every se
