The President's Darling Chapter 365
Yolanda couldn't break free. The other women were too strong. In a moment, they had already left a red mark on her wrist. Yolanda could only cry out, "Let go! What are you trying to do?"Chloe Adams, the woman with long hair, said, "We don't want to do anything. We just want you to leave quietly. Don't disturb our gathering with Zachie."The woman with short hair, Harper Clark, agreed. "That's right. Zachie is our distinguished guest. If you want him, you'll have to get in line behind us."Chloe and Harper seemed very immoral. It was evident they wanted to claim Zach for themselves and squeeze a lot of money out of him. They hovered on the fringes of society, depending on wealthy men for a living. If pushed too far, they could certainly put Yolanda in danger.But Yolanda couldn't bother to think so much. Zach was really drunk. If she let Harper and Chloe have him, who knew what would happen?So, she didn't care if they were blocking her. She forcefully pushed her way through.C

Before Yolanda's eyes, the glass bottle came at her at a fast speed. However, just as it was less than an inch away from Yolanda, time froze. The moment was fraught with danger.Yolanda closed her eyes. She braced herself with a sense of righteousness and prepared to endure the impending blow as if heading to the gallows. Yet, to her surprise, the glass bottle never struck her head, even after a long time. Bewildered, she opened her eyes to find the glass bottle suspended in mid-air. A sturdy arm was shielding her, successfully blocking the glass bottle's impact.Yolanda shifted her gaze and discovered that the person who had come to her aid was Zach! Wasn't he drunk? How had he suddenly sobered up? Yolanda couldn't understand the situation. However, as a careful person, she caught sight of a red bruise on Zach's arm. It was evident that he had wounded himself while blocking the glass bottle to protect her."Zach, are you alright?" Yolanda asked.Zach shook his head. He tur

These questions lingered inside Yolanda's mind. She felt as if Zach was hiding something from her.Zach was indeed hiding something from her. Actually, he had been testing Yolanda to gauge her feelings toward him.Summer had told him that Yolanda had feelings for him. Although he didn't believe what Summer said, her words had sparked his curiosity. He also wanted to know if Yolanda truly had feelings for him. Therefore, he pretended to be drunk in the bar and attracted the attention of some women. That night's test results had exceeded Zach's expectations. He hadn't anticipated that Yolanda would get herself injured just to get him out of the bar and protect him.As doubts grew, Zach honestly explained the entire situation, from the fact that he was pretending to be drunk to the entire test scenario. After the explanation, he asked seriously, "Yola, do you like me?"This question felt like a tolling bell, deafening Yolanda. She stood frozen on the spot, unsure what to say. He

After listening to what Zach said, Yolanda was heartbroken. She had finally mustered up the courage to confess her feelings, only to receive such a response in the end. She felt as if someone had thrown a bucket of cold water at a blazing fire, extinguishing it.However, the kind Yolanda still concealed the sadness deep in her heart. She didn't want Zach to see her upset. She thought that if she appeared sad, he would also feel the same way. So, she forced a smile and said, "Zach, it's okay. As you said earlier, love is freedom, and everyone has the right to love. If you don't like me, I won't force you.""Okay." Zach nodded in response. He discreetly glanced back at Yolanda at this moment and noticed the sorrow in her expression. Even when she was clearly forcing a smile, he could still see the deep sadness in her eyes.He knew he had truly hurt her. He quickly walked over to her and hugged her. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry…""Zach, why are you apologizing?" Yolanda asked."I hurt
The President's Darling Chapter 369
Yolanda's emotions were like tangled yarn, impossible to unravel. They would only become messier if she tried to unravel them. She didn't even know what to do. On one hand, she loved Zach. On the other hand, she was puzzled because Zach only wanted to be with her out of pity.The two stood frozen, like two immovable stones. Neither could take the first step toward the other.The light from the moon grew dimmer. The stars were also obscured by dark clouds. Finally, Yolanda spoke up. "Zach, I think we need to calm down. I think we are both too anxious now.""Yola, are you suggesting—""Let's discuss it again in a few days," Yolanda muttered. With that said, she left decisively. She believed that their relationship had reached a turning point at that moment. There were two paths. Either they became lovers or strangers. Given their current awkwardness, it seemed impossible to remain friends as before.Facing such a decision, Yolanda felt that she should carefully consider it first
The President's Darling Chapter 370
After she finished cleaning, Summer finally felt relieved. It was 2:00 pm. Usually, she would have eaten lunch by this time, but she still hadn't had lunch until now.Just as she thought she could finally eat and then rest, Luca suddenly urged her, saying, "It's two o'clock now. According to Madam Caroline's instructions, you have class to attend now, Madam Summer.""What? I haven't had lunch yet."As if he hadn't heard what she had said, Luca repeated, "Madam Caroline said that you need to attend class. Please do what you're instructed to, Madam Summer."According to him, it meant that Caroline wouldn't even allow Summer to eat and only wanted her to work. It was horrendous news to hear. Even slaves could eat before continuing their work. Summer had just finished her chores and hadn't even eaten anything. Wasn't she being treated worse than a slave?Summer immediately became angry. She said, "Luca, you've seen me clean the bathroom and the balcony since morning. I haven't eaten
The President's Darling Chapter 371
Sitting on the ground, Summer laid out everything honestly. She was now taking a risk, gambling that Holly would offer her support instead of reporting her. Fortunately, her gamble paid off as Holly nodded in understanding. "So, you were hungry. But why did you come to class without eating?" Holly inquired. "It's a long story, but basically, Mom didn't allow me to eat any food," Summer responded. "Because you haven't gotten pregnant yet?" Holly guessed, hitting the nail on the head. "How did you know?" Summer asked. "It's simple. Madam Caroline had me emphasize core strength in your yoga classes. Sufficient abdominal training is known to be beneficial for childbirth. Therefore, I assumed she must be hoping for you to get pregnant soon." Holly was a perceptive woman, and her deduction was spot-on. Indeed, it was because Summer wasn't pregnant. In fact, everyone in the Quigley family was aware of Caroline's strong desire for Summer to have a child soon. It was evident how

Summer's acting was exceptional. When she spoke, her words dripped with sincerity, and combined with her weak voice, it conveyed a genuine sense of exhaustion. Holly, who was slightly younger than Summer, nodded immediately and said, "Mrs. Quigley, I'm willing to help you." "Thank you very much," Summer replied gratefully. When it came to yoga classes, Caroline wouldn't typically assess Summer. This was mainly because Caroline wasn't particularly adept at yoga herself. Hence, whenever there was an assessment, Holly would step in to provide feedback on the completion of the class. With Holly's willingness to assist, Summer could now relax and take it easy during future yoga classes. In social relationships, there's a phenomenon known as "in-group bias," where people tend to favor and help those they consider part of their group. Summer was now eager to bring Holly into her circle. "Ms. Lowry, I realized I don't even know your real name. Up until now, I've been calling

"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
