The President's Darling Chapter 512
It had been a bright afternoon. Back then, Summer had been supposed to return home after attending preschool. However, Amelia, who had been supposed to fetch her, had been late that day. Summer had sat at the school's entrance and leaned against a wall. As her classmates had left one by one, she had decided not to wait anymore and return home herself. The preschool she had attended had been near her house. She could walk back home within ten minutes. Then, Summer had started walking back home using the route she had remembered. After five minutes, she had turned the corner of an alley. Suddenly, someone had placed a sack over her head. She hadn't even been able to see anything before that person had kidnapped her. According to what she recalled, she had been trapped in an enclosed place with barely any oxygen. When she had been able to see again, she had realized that she was in a dark clinic. An ugly old man with rosacea on his nose had been about to inject her arm with a

Summer had had a long dream. She had dreamt that she was in hell. Lava had bubbled around her, and mist had been everywhere. There had been many needles on the ground that stabbed her. Every inch of her body had been covered in blood, and she had been in immense pain. In her dream, she had kept crying. However, no matter how hard she had cried, no one had cared about her. The dream hadn't been very long. When Summer had woken up again, her head had felt heavy, and her vision had been blurry. She had felt extremely dizzy.Yet, she had still managed to wake up. Summer had opened her eyes and peeked at her surroundings. She had discovered a huge rubber tube had been injected into her. A needle had been at one end of the rubber tube, drawing blood from her body. There had been a large glass jar on the other end of the tube. It had been placed on the ground and had been filled to the brim with crimson blood. Even though Summer had been just a child, she had known that the bloo

A group of men in suits had rushed at Summer like a relentless wave that threatened to consume her. Though Summer had had swift reflexes, she had still been a child. As such, she hadn't been able to hide from so many muscular men in the limited space of the room. In the end, the men had cornered her. "Don't come closer!" She had crouched against the wall and waved her small arms in an attempt to beat up those men. However, it had been of no use. Their fists had been bigger than Summer's head. After the men had managed to corner Summer, the old man had appeared smugly once more. He had grabbed her as if she were a small kitten. "Let's see if you'll dare to escape again. You're a naughty girl.""I'm not a naughty girl. You're the naughty one! Why did you kidnap me?" Summer had yelled loudly. She had been in an unfamiliar environment filled with bad guys. As such, she had been afraid. The old man had laughed. He actually hadn't needed to tell Summer anything. However, since she

The old man hadn't cared about Summer's opinion. He had raised the syringe and prepared to stab it in her hand. "Stop." Just then, the young boy whom Summer had met earlier had spoken up. He had gotten out of bed and weakly approached them. Then, the boy had ordered the old man, "Let go of her. You can't do this."Meanwhile, Summer had thought that his efforts were futile. The young boy had also been a child. So, why would the old man listen to him? However, the old man had had an unexpected response to the young boy's words. After a brief pause, he had said, "Sir, you should rest. Your body is too weak—""I told you to let this girl go. Didn't you hear me?" the young boy had replied in annoyance. Once the old man had heard that, he had dared not retort and let Summer go. Summer had been in disbelief as she had watched the scene. She had wondered if the young boy was Superman. Why had the old man listened to him?The young boy had immediately become Summer's hero, so she h

"So, you're an evil person too…" Summer had retreated backward in fear. She had looked at the young boy whom she had trusted moments ago. At that moment, he had been like a wolf in sheep's clothing who could pounce on her soon. Meanwhile, the young boy had thought that Summer had misunderstood him, so he had wanted to explain himself. However, as he had prepared to approach her, Summer had yelled anxiously, "Don't come near me!""It's a misunderstanding.""I didn't misunderstand you. You want my blood, so you're on the same team as this group of people." Summer had been very agitated and had waved her small hands to keep him away. The old man had seized this opportunity to grab her and inject the needle into her arm. Though she had wanted to break free from the old man, he had used all his strength to keep her in place. Summer hadn't been able to move. She could only watch as the cold steel needle pierced her skin. The anesthesia had spread through her entire body, and sh

Caroline wore a white bathrobe. Her complexion was sallow, and her hair was clipped up. She approached Summer and said, "Wait a minute. I need to tell you something."Normally, Caroline would be resting in the room at that hour. Since she had suddenly looked for Summer, it meant that something serious had happened. Summer noticed that Caroline's expression was very unnatural. The latter looked very worried. "Did something happen, Mom?" Summer asked. Caroline didn't reply immediately. She seemed to be contemplating something. Perhaps, she found it hard to speak because she didn't know what to say. "Mom, what's wrong?" Summer asked again. At the same time, she realized that Caroline was scrutinizing her as if she were searching for something. Summer thought that there was something on her face and touched her own face. Yet, it was clean. Why was Caroline staring at her then?"Mom, what do you want to say? Has something happened?"This seemed to snap Caroline out of her daze.
The President's Darling Chapter 518
Even if Caroline was the mastermind of that incident back then, she wouldn't admit it. As such, though she had denied her involvement in the abduction, it didn't mean that she wasn't guilty. The most important person was James. Summer believed that he wouldn't lie to her. "Mom, it's late now. Rest well." After that, she went into her room and prepared to wait for James to return home. Yet, Caroline pulled her back. "I'm not done talking yet.""What else do you want to tell me?""Summer, don't think too much about this incident. The media outlets are deliberately creating a scandal. I think they didn't know what to write, so they came up with this rubbish." Caroline explained it again, even though Summer had already said that she would believe her. Wasn't that strange? It seemed as if Caroline was hiding something. Summer had already realized that Caroline was behaving suspiciously. However, she didn't call the latter out.Instead, she said, "I got it, Mom. Don't worry. I w

Summer asked, "When are you coming back?"James replied, "I'm overseas now, and I won't be back for a while."After hearing that, Summer became very suspicious. How could it be such a coincidence? James must have seen the news as well and known that Summer would ask him about it. Why had he gone overseas at such a time?So, Summer asked, "James, have you seen the news?"Right after she finished speaking, James replied, "I can't speak now. I'll reply to you when I'm free."The call was cut off with a beep. This was the first time that James had hung up on her like that. Summer had already guessed that the incident was most likely true. She felt very uneasy, but she couldn't vent her frustrations. The Quigley residence was an unfamiliar place to her, and the only person she could turn to, James, had become untrustworthy. Besides, many weird things happened after that. Normally, Summer would have to continue her lessons, but on that day, Caroline didn't rush her. It seeme

"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,
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
