The President's Darling Chapter 399
Zach replied to Summer solemnly as well. Maybe it was because he had rarely heard Summer talk to him so seriously.Summer cut to the chase and said, "I want to tell you that Felicia's back. She's on her way to your home."Zach gaped at the news, unable to react immediately. He had been kept in the dark about Felicia's return. No one had told him, so he knew nothing about it. The news from Summer hit him like a thunderbolt.Felicia, the woman who had hurt Zach the most, was back. Those past memories had tortured him like numerous daggers in his heart. He was finally moving on, but now she was back."No way." Zach shook his head and replied weakly. Panic could be heard in his voice. "She couldn't have come back. She disappeared for three years. How would she come back?"Summer knew some information about Felicia's sudden return. She honestly revealed Felicia's purpose for coming back. The latter's main goal was to have Zach wrapped around her finger, so Summer hoped he wouldn't

James saw through Summer and comforted her. "There's one thing you didn't realize. You've changed Felicia, although you don't know it.""I changed Felicia? What did I change about her?""You've shaken her confidence. She's starting to doubt if she can get Zach to go back to her. At the same time, she's starting to feel guilty about it.""How is that possible?" Summer had talked to Felicia for so long, and she hadn't felt an ounce of guilt coming from Felicia. Felicia was dead set on approaching Zach for money. How would she feel guilty?James said, "It is. You just didn't realize it."Indeed, Summer didn't realize it. After all, it was a really small detail. Shrewd women like Felicia wouldn't reveal their true thoughts in front of people. Only people like James, who was good at hiding their innermost thoughts, could see through them.He had asked Felicia one thing when he had taken her to the Myers residence this afternoon."Felicia, will you feel happy hurting Zach?"Felicia
The President's Darling Chapter 401
Zach met Felicia at the Myerses' residence study. He told Yolanda that Felicia would come.Yolanda was nervous when she heard him, but Zach comforted her. He said he wanted to settle things on his own and asked Yolanda to give him time.Seeing Felicia, Zach asked coldly, "Ms. Yard, what brings you here?"Instead of using her name affectionately as he once did, he now called her Ms. Yard. He was keeping her at a distance. Felicia faltered a little, but she remained calm with a gentle smile on her pretty face."Zach, it's been about three years since we last saw each other. Won't you give me a smile? Aren't you happy seeing me again?""Should I feel happy? You left me for three years.""I didn't." Felicia saw Zach's accusation coming, and she was prepared to explain. "Your family was too hard on me, and you were busy with work back then. That's why I decided to leave. I didn't mean it—I didn't want to leave you.""Really? Then why did you date someone else afterward?" Zach conti

"Felicia, stop. Whatever happened between us is all in the past now," Zach said in a deep voice."Aren't those our memories? Are you going to pretend they never existed? We loved each other. Everything we've gone through was real. Zach, you can't deny it!"Felicia leaped into Zach's embrace, wrapping her arms around him. She wouldn't let go even though he was struggling to break free.Past memories crept into Zach's head. Felicia's embrace reminded him of their moments together, moments he had often dreamed of."Stop! you can't do this!" Zach shoved her away. Felicia stumbled and fell to the ground.She became teary as she sat painfully and pitifully on the ground. Zach felt sorry and slowly went over to help her up. However, she wrapped her arms around Zach's neck the moment he held her."Zach, can't we get back together? Let's pretend nothing ever happened between us. We can still be as happy together as we were back then.""There's no going back between us," Zach said quietly
The President's Darling Chapter 403
Felicia's arrogant tone changed into a pleading one. She exhausted all her tricks, but Zach didn't seem to want her back, not even a little bit.Zach had his resolve early on. Since he decided to date Yolanda, he would stick with her. He would never choose Felicia, who was merely pretending to be the victim.He shook his head and asked, "Felicia, you really haven't changed even until now. You want to use me, don't you? I know everything. You came back for my money.""No, that's not true…" Felicia cried aggrievedly, even shedding tears. In fact, she was putting on an excellent act. Otherwise, how would Zach believe her?Unfortunately for her, Zach was a changed man. He saw through her and her bunch of lies."Move on, Felicia. Let's end this on a good note. At least we can still be friends," Zach said as he removed her hands from his face.Felicia wasn't letting go. As Zach tried to pull her hands away, she reached out and trapped him in her arms. She hugged him like a koala, deter

If Felicia couldn't have him, nobody else could have him, either. This was her personality. Even if she didn't want something, she wouldn't hand it over to someone else.Zach didn't expect her to go off the deep end. He said sadly, "Felicia, you don't have to do this.""Die! Let's just die altogether!" With each passing moment, the knife drew nearer to his heart, poised to strike.Zach was an heir to one of the four prestigious families. He had been training in martial arts to defend himself since he was young. Obviously, a weak woman like Felicia wouldn't be able to kill him. He quickly dodged when she was about to stab him.Felicia whipped her head. With a sinister glare, she raised the knife again. However, Zach snatched the knife from her immediately."Felicia, just give up," Zach persuaded as he threw the knife to the floor.Felicia wasn't giving up. She couldn't take it. She truly couldn't accept it.She never thought that she'd fail in getting what she wanted. She thought

"Zach, I want you… I want nothing but you. It's clear in my head now. I don't need money. I just need you to come back to me," Felicia said between sobs.She was telling the truth. She only started regretting it when she realized that Zach truly didn't like her anymore.Unfortunately, she was too late. Zach couldn't know if she was being honest or lying again. Even if she told the truth, they were past the point of return."Felicia, go home." Zach didn't want to deal with her anymore. He knew things would get complicated if he stayed.People were hypocrites sometimes, only realizing what they had after losing it. Felicia had thrown their relationship away when Zach was hers.She thought Zach would belong to her forever. Little did she know that his feelings had vanished without a trace.Felicia didn't want Zach to leave. She bolted up and ran toward Zach, but Zach had bodyguards keeping watch at the staircase. The bodyguards stopped Felicia."Ms. Yard, Mr. Myers asked you to lea

In fact, Zach wanted to tell Yolanda everything the moment she entered the room. They were a couple now, so they should talk things out and be honest with each other.Yolanda felt glad when he eventually told her, but she also felt bad for Felicia."Zach, are you sure you should treat her like that? You two were in a relationship for so long, after all.""I don't know either." Zach was at a loss. He seriously had no idea what he should do. If he knew, he wouldn't have turned Felicia down like that.Lacking insight into Felicia's true motives, he concluded that cutting ties was the best solution to avoid escalating the situation. This led him to reject her and dispatch bodyguards to remove her. Upon contemplating the events afterward, he felt no remorse."Felicia is stubborn, particularly in the matters of the heart. If I had let the conversation drag on, we would have remained stuck in this chaotic situation indefinitely."Yolanda shared Zach's sentiments, fully aware of Felicia'

"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,
The President's Darling Chapter 927
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
