The President's Darling Chapter 352
Zach was filled with disdain when he heard Summer's words. He could find his own happiness without Summer meddling in his affairs. At first, he wanted to give her some time to see what she wanted to discuss, but it turned out that she had come to lecture him.With a wave of his hand, Zach ordered her to go. "Leave. I don't want to talk to you."Summer obviously wouldn't leave before achieving her purpose of coming that day. So, before Zach urged her, she asked, "Do you know that Yola likes you?"This sentence was like a torpedo; it wreaked havoc in Zach's heart and caused giant waves, turning his world upside down. He couldn't wrap his head around Summer's words and retorted, "That's impossible. Yola and I are just friends.""You see her as a friend, but does she see you as a friend?""What do you mean?""What do I mean? Are you stupid? Don't you know when someone likes you?" Summer couldn't help but sneer, wondering how Zach could be so dense. He had made a woman wait for

Zach asked, "What do you want to bet?"Summer answered, "I bet that Yola will confess her feelings to you within the next few days. If I lose, I'll divorce James. "If I win, you have to tell me your true feelings—who you like and what you want. You also have to agree to an additional request."A bet was an agreement. Once made, the rules must be adhered to. Summer didn't like to make bets as she saw it as a matter of luck. However, the bet between Eleanor and James had given her an idea, so she wanted to bet with Zach this time.After hearing the terms of the bet, Zach readily agreed, thinking that he would definitely win. He didn't believe for a second that Yolanda would confess her feelings to him. Besides, if he won, James and Summer would get divorced, which would be very worthwhile."Alright, Summer. I agree to your bet. The loser must abide by the terms of the bet.""Okay."As they made their bet, both parties were confident. But only time could tell what the outcome

"Game? What game?""It's related to Summer. From what I know, she wanted to find a partner for her friend, Kelly. But now, she's changed her mind and wants to play matchmaker for Yola and Zach. So, I want to play a game."Keith had yet to reveal what the game was, but this made Bradly more curious about it.However, there was one thing that scared Bradly—Keith had accurately pointed out Summer's actions. It seemed that he had people monitoring Summer 24 hours a day.Bradly's expression became serious. "Keith, why are you so interested in Summer? Is it because she's James' woman?""Maybe." Keith didn't give a direct answer and gave an ambiguous response.Bradly knew that Keith wouldn't tell him why he was so interested even if he pressed him further, so he gave up and instead asked about the game Keith had mentioned."Tell me about your game.""Okay." Keith's lips curved into a cold smile as he slowly said, "I recently found an interesting friend, someone that Zach should be ver
The President's Darling Chapter 355
Bradly didn't know what kind of game Keith wanted to play, but he definitely wouldn't help him."Keith, I'm leaving. I won't take part in your game."After all, Keith's game would hurt James, Zach, and Summer. Bradly would be betraying his friends if he joined in on it.However, Bradly had underestimated Keith. Keith's villa wasn't a place where he could come and go as he pleased. Just as Bradly stepped foot out the door, more than ten bodyguards clad in black appeared and formed a line around him, forcing him to go back inside.Bradly was furious upon seeing this. "Keith, what are you trying to do?""Don't be mad, Bradly. We've known each other for 20 years. You don't think that I would hurt you, do you?""Hmph, who knows? You've always had a different personality from the three of us. Sometimes, I don't even know what you're thinking.""What am I trying to do?" Keith raised his head to look up at the ceiling with a hint of confusion on his cold and handsome face. He added,

Keith didn't want to bring Felicia out because he did not want to be the villain himself. He hoped to let Bradly take the fall.Bradly complained inwardly about Keith's evil tricks, but he had no choice but to compromise. "I understand. I'll take Felicia to Zach."Felicia was delighted upon hearing this. She waltzed over and hooked her arm around Bradly's, saying, "Bradly, I'll leave it to you."Bradly didn't feel happy at all. He had a stiff expression on his face, as if a family member of his had just died.After leaving the villa, Bradly took Felicia back to his own home. Although he had been instructed to take her to Zach, he chose not to do it right away. Instead, he would first make her stay there temporarily.He had many questions for Felicia.At night, Bradley changed into a pair of loose pajamas and went to the guest room at the Walsh residence, which served as Felicia's temporary stay.At that moment, Felicia was lying in bed and playing with her phone. She was wearing

Felicia said, "You're quite clever, Bradly. I do want money, but I'm not deceiving anyone! To be honest with you, my boyfriend left me when he heard that my family went bankrupt, so I had no choice but to come to you guys."Surely enough, Bradley had guessed right! At first, he was puzzled, thinking that Felicia wouldn't come back just for money, even if the Yards had gone bankrupt. Now that he knew that her boyfriend had dumped her and that she had lost her sense of security, it made sense that she had her sights set on Zach."So, what's going on with you and Keith? How did you end up conspiring together?" asked Bradly.Felicia spread her hands out helplessly. "It's a long story. Basically, he sent someone to track me down. When I heard that he was looking for me, I took the initiative to contact him. As you know, I'm broke, and Keith is rich. Contacting him would definitely ensure my basic livelihood."Bradly's lips twitched. What did Felicia mean by "ensuring her basic liv

It had been quite some time since Summer had made the bet with Zach, and she still hadn't received his answer until now. She wondered whether Yolanda had confessed her feelings to him or not.Summer had boldly said that she would divorce James if she lost the bet because Yolanda had promised that she would confess her feelings. But why was there still no news?Feeling anxious, Summer became worried that something had happened. If Yolanda didn't confess her feelings and Summer lost the bet, wouldn't she have to grant Zach's wish to divorce James?Getting up from the stone bench, Summer decided she would make a call to inquire about the situation. As soon as she stepped into the house, she was met with a cold-faced, condescending-looking Caroline who had her arms crossed over her chest."Where are you going, Summer?""Back to my room," Summer replied as she stumbled while trying to slip away. However, as she passed by Caroline, a bodyguard in black suddenly reached out to obstru
The President's Darling Chapter 359
Feeling relieved, Summer said, "Since you have a plan, hurry up and come over. I'll wait for you at Medicare Hospital. Your mom and I will be there for the pregnancy check-up.""Okay."After hanging up the phone, Summer's anxious thoughts calmed down a bit. This time was different from the last. Last time, James had had a car accident and hadn't been able to show up in time. But he couldn't be so unlucky to get into a car accident again this time.Moreover, Summer didn't plan to pretend to have stomach pain to delay time again. She calculated how long it would take. It was about a ten-minute drive from Quigley Group to Medicare Hospital, while it would take 30 minutes to get to Medicare Hospital from the Quigley residence. Hence, James should reach the hospital before her.After changing into a fresh set of clothes and tidying herself up a bit, Summer went to the entrance of the Quigley residence, where Caroline was already waiting. She was pleased to see that Summer had come

"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

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
