"Really? I think so too." Summer chuckled. She had thought embroidery was difficult, but she hadn't expected to do it easily. As she held the newly embroidered little red flower, she looked at it satisfactorily, wondering whether she should show it to James when he came back.But then, Eleanor spoke up again. "Summer, don't you want Aunt Caroline to be more satisfied? She will be looking at your work. Although this red flower you embroidered is beautiful, Aunt Caroline will definitely not be satisfied."Summer knew how picky Caroline was. She was the type of person who had very high demands and wanted everything to be perfect. She knew that she wouldn't be able to satisfy Caroline, no matter what she did. Even if she really embroidered the pattern she requested, Caroline could still find flaws."Eleanor, thank you for your kindness, but let's call it a day. Having this red flower work should be enough to pass." Summer wasn't a greedy person. As long as she could shut Carolin

However, apart from good-looking men, what primarily attracted Summer was the plot of the TV dramas. Every evening, after finishing her classes and dinner, she would return to her room to watch something. The bedroom on the third floor had become Summer's small world, away from distractions and worldly troubles.As time passed, Summer, who was engrossed in watching the TV drama, gradually grew tired. Her eyelids drooped slightly as she prepared to go to sleep. However, what slightly puzzled her was why James hadn't returned home yet.Normally, he would return by 11:00 pm. It was midnight, and he still hadn't returned.It wasn't unusual for others to return an hour or two late, but for James to be late was strange. After all, as busy as he was, every minute of his time was accounted for. Therefore, he had a strict sense of time. He knew exactly what he should be doing at any given moment.Summer shouted through the door, "Lexi, do you know where James is? Why hasn't he returned
The President's Darling Chapter 296
This time, it was really uncertain whether James would be as lucky as last time.Summer looked anxious. She felt really lost. She thought of the possibility of losing James. Lexi led the way. With Caroline's permission, the group left the Quigley residence smoothly. They sat in Connor's sports car and headed to the hospital.Connor was Charlie's brother and one of James' bodyguards. He explained, "The accident this time is quite serious. "The word is that when Mr. Quigley was carried out of the accident scene, his whole body was covered in blood. He wasn't even breathing. There is a high possibility of life-threatening danger."Upon hearing that, Summer covered her mouth in horror. She hadn't expected the car accident this time to be that serious. If James really lost his life because of it, she would be devastated.Lexi knew Summer was worried. She held her hand and comforted the latter. "Mrs. Quigley, don't scare yourself. Mr. Quigley has good fortune. Surely, nothing will ha
The President's Darling Chapter 297
Walter knew Summer didn't understand, so he explained, "Our hospital does have spare hearts, but we don't have one suitable for Mr. Quigley. "Mr. Quigley's blood type is special. If an incompatible heart is transplanted, it will lead to immunological rejection. The worst result would be Mr. Quigley's death."The crucial point of organ transplant was compatibility. Each person had a different blood type, and organs also varied. If an organ different from the recipient's was transplanted, the body wouldn't be able to adapt to it. This would eventually lead to organ rejection and death.Summer's mind felt like mush. She didn't know what to do for a moment. If they couldn't find a new heart, didn't that mean James would die? Thinking of the consequences, Summer felt as though she had fallen into an abyss. She felt utterly hopeless.Lexi asked, "Can a living person's heart be used?""What?" Summer stiffened, unable to believe what Lexi had said.According to Lexi, James could be sa
The President's Darling Chapter 298
Upon seeing the situation, Summer finally understood why Lexi's calls to Caroline and Norman couldn't get through. They were probably busy explaining the unexpected incident involving James. The news of James' accident must have been difficult to contain. As long as a little bit of information leaked out, those commercial partners cooperating with Quigley Group would definitely call to inquire. Caroline and Norman were probably busy explaining it to them.Besides, there was also significant external pressure. Due to James' special status, any information about him would be extremely valuable news. Now that James had encountered a car accident, those reporters and media would certainly flock in.Summer felt like an ant on a hot pan. She was anxious and uneasy. The air conditioning in the hospital was cold, but she was sweating profusely. Her sweat drenched her clothes.At this moment, an annoying voice said, "Summer, nice to see you."It was Howe! He was dressed casually with
The President's Darling Chapter 299
"Then, why did you make such a sinister and creepy expression just now?" Summer retorted.She had asked Howe if he had tried to kill James to seize the position of heir, and Howe hadn't denied it. He had even acted so scary. He had said that Summer already knew the truth.Based on that, Summer naturally believed that Howe was behind the accident.But Howe wasn't the real perpetrator. He explained, "Summer, I was just surprised that you already knew my intentions. Yes, I do want to snatch the position of heir from James, but I wouldn't kill him.""Do you have evidence to prove it? You murderer!" Summer said it firmly. She was now convinced that Howe was the culprit."It's a misunderstanding. I'm as innocent as can be. Although I envy James for being the heir, I'm doing fine now. Why would I risk killing him to seize his position? Do you think I'm an idiot?" Having said that, he added, "Summer, you also don't have evidence against me, right? If you have evidence, then you can call
The President's Darling Chapter 300
The Quigley family's power was so immense that they could get rid of matters stipulated in plain terms. Therefore, as long as the resources were available and a successful match was found, the required heart transplant could be performed.As for the most suitable candidate for completing the heart transplant, James' biological brother, Howe, was undoubtedly the best choice. However, Howe was quite cunning. When Summer glanced at him, he immediately shook his head, waved his finger, and said, "Summer, don't even think about it. I won't go for heart typing."Howe was eager for James' death. If James died, he would become the Quigleys' heir. He wouldn't be foolish enough to sacrifice himself to save James.The members next in line would be people related to James by blood, such as Caroline, Norman, and others. However, none of them had shown up. It was unclear what had happened to them.Upon careful consideration, Summer vaguely felt that something was wrong. When she had left hom

It indeed sounded serious, but Summer knew how to deal with it.Normally, if one was entering a sanitized area in the hospital to visit family members, one had to wear a special suit to prevent contaminating the area with bacteria.Summer had noticed some medical isolation suits when she'd entered the operating room. She pointed at them and asked, "As long as I wear that suit, I can see my husband, right?"With the isolation suit, bacterial contamination problems wouldn't be an issue. That way, Walter couldn't argue with her either. However, he seemed unwilling to let Summer see James. He made up an excuse, saying, "No, it's still not possible. Mrs. Quigley, if you have the time to see Mr. Quigley, I suggest you quickly find a suitable heart for the heart transplant. That way, Mr. Quigley can still be saved.""Okay, okay, I understand. I've found a living heart. It's right here." Summer pointed to her chest, making it clear that she wanted to donate her heart to James.As far

"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
