The President's Darling Chapter 448
Caroline stormed out of the living room in her chiffon scarf, her anger palpable.Meanwhile, James stood at the staircase, unmoved by Caroline's presence. Without glancing back, he took hold of Summer's hand and led her away, seemingly ignoring his mother's reproach.Caroline's frustration surged. "James, are you defying me? Won't you heed your mother?" she demanded, pointing accusingly at him. Closing in on James, she grasped his arm tightly. "Were you absent from work today? Your absence during crucial business dealings allowed our competitors to capitalize. Do you have nothing to say for yourself?"James remained indifferent. He didn't want to say anything. Summer's anxiety escalated. With James absent from the company, its stocks plummeted. She wondered if she bore partial responsibility for this turn of events, having insisted James take a day off to accompany her to visit her parents.Summer didn't want Caroline to continue scolding James. Moreover, he was the president o

Caroline stepped forward, her fingers closing firmly around Summer's wrist, leaving behind a crimson imprint as Summer yelped in pain.Caroline asked, "Tell me what happened. Did you drag James along with you?""Well…" Summer didn't know what to say. James had already told his mother that he brought her out. As such, if she said that she was the one who told James to accompany her instead, it would mean that James was lying. Moreover, she would be punished. So, Summer didn't know what to say. Caroline's frustration mounted at Summer's silence. "Tell me what's going on!"James, unable to bear it anymore, intervened, "Mom, what I said was true. I needed a break from work. This isn't Summer's fault." Positioning himself between his wife and mother, James shielded Summer, his protective stance evident.Caroline's gaze bore into Summer, a silent warning laced within. It spoke volumes: "You're fortunate my son intervened today, but your luck won't hold forever." Already discont

James didn't answer Caroline's question. Instead, he retorted, "Mom, don't you trust me?"This response left Caroline puzzled. She held an unwavering faith in her son, especially considering his notable contributions during his tenure as the company's president."James, I don't understand what you're doing. You have the capability to resolve this issue today, yet—""Mom, trust me. The company will return to its normal state by tomorrow."With a serious demeanor, James grasped Summer's hand and proceeded toward the bedroom on the third floor. As the couple departed, murmurs erupted among the managers."What's going on? Why is Mr. Quigley like this?" "Yes, why isn't he solving the issue now? Is he rushing to do something with Mrs. Quigley?""I think so. After all, Mr. Quigley is a young man with a lot of energy. Since he's married now, he's probably going to do something with her."The stern-faced managers cracked a joke. Everyone in the room tried to make light of the situatio

Summer felt that she asked too many questions. After all, this was classified information from Quigley Group. Even the upper management of the company didn't have access to it. Since she married into the family, what right would she have to find out about that knowledge?Just as she prepared to give up, James told her, "It's Ritter Corporation.""Ritter Corporation?" Summer paused, recalling something. That company was managed by the Ritter family, which was a part of the four major prestigious families. The current president was Keith. That was weird. Wasn't Keith good friends with James? Why would he sabotage James? Summer realized that something was amiss. However, since James wasn't in a good mood, she didn't dare to probe further. Meanwhile, James was very observant, and could easily discern others' thoughts. So, he seemed to know what Summer wanted to ask. "I have a long history with Keith. I'll tell you more about it in the future."After hearing that, Summer surmised t

Summer gleaned valuable lessons from her interactions with James. She understood the importance of exercising caution in one's actions, particularly in business dealings. James' reluctance to place full trust in anyone likely contributed to the rapid progress of the Quigley Group under his leadership. Suddenly, another concern crossed her mind. How would James manage to overcome the other companies targeting him by the following day?According to him, other companies were ganging up to target Quigley Group. Wouldn't it be impossible for James to resolve the problem within a day since so many real estate agents had teamed up against the company?Charter Corporation specialized in property sales. Since Summer was the successor of that company, she was very concerned. So, she asked, "James, how do you intend to resolve the crisis tomorrow?"Summer felt somewhat guilty after posing James that question. She didn't think she should have asked him about that. Keeping Quigley Group'

So, the group of real estate companies would surely agree to James' offer. After all, no one would pass up the chance to make more money.Summer nodded. James' approach was unique. While others aimed to defeat their rivals, he sought collaboration to succeed. If it was a win-win situation, there wouldn't be any competition, and the company would earn more profits.But there was a problem. Wasn't Ritter Corporation behind this?Summer asked, "Ritter Corporation won't let you collaborate with the other real estate companies, right?""Yes, but they can't stop me." Ritter Corporation encouraged collaboration among real estate companies without using force. To avoid arousing suspicion from the Quigley Group, they kept themselves out of the collaboration. If Quigley Group publicly declared their investment in the trading center construction, Ritter Corporation wouldn't dare to go against them. "Ritter Corporation is working on many projects with Quigley Group. They won't publicly c

Assisted by numerous professional stylists, Summer adorned herself splendidly. Gazing at her reflection in the mirror, she marveled at her elegant and stunning appearance.She wore a sleek black dress with a trailing back, accentuating her figure flawlessly. Her long hair cascaded smoothly, adding to her allure. Adorned with extravagant accessories and a pair of black and white crystal shoes, she exuded elegance and grandeur, effortlessly standing out from the crowd.However, as she spun around, Summer couldn't ignore the dress's cumbersome weight. Laden with jewelry, it proved difficult to move comfortably in the tight attire. She felt constrained, reminiscent of a lady from bygone eras navigating with cautious steps, fearful of any vigorous movement that might lead to a wardrobe malfunction.Summer felt out of place in such luxurious attire. While suitable for the wine-tasting party, wearing such garments elsewhere would only invite embarrassment. This predicament puzzled her.

Howe's blunt and unsympathetic remark cut through the air. "Mom, I think you'll be disappointed. Summer doesn't seem confident. How could she possibly get a good ranking?"However, that was the truth. Even Summer doubted her ability to achieve a good ranking.Caroline sneered. "If she doesn't get a good ranking, I'll teach her a lesson."Summer shrank back, unnerved by her mother-in-law's harsh words. This interaction felt torturous, especially with Howe's cold stare from the staircase, his subtle smirk resembling that of a waiting predator.Despite not knowing the extent of Howe's intentions, Summer sensed danger. He might cause trouble for her at the wine-tasting party, adding to her apprehension about achieving a good ranking.Later that evening, Summer arrived at the wine-tasting party, stepping onto the red carpet toward the imposing wooden doors.As she approached, Summer took in the scene—yellow safety borders flanking the carpet, media reporters capturing every moment wit
