Unfortunately, unplugging the charger was pointless since the laptop had enough battery remaining. So, even though the charger had been unplugged, James could still continue to work on his laptop.James remained expressionless. His facial features seemed to be carved from stone, given how immovable they were. Summer decided to forcefully tug at his ear and ask loudly, "Did you hear what I said? James, don't you think your mom is deliberately targeting me with her behavior?""I know." Finally, the millennia-old iceberg spoke. He slightly parted his thin lips and continued, "My mom has indeed gone too far. I will talk to her tomorrow and ask her to cancel the punishment.""It's best if she cancels it."Summer knew it was effective to talk to James. In the Quigley family, only he could help her. However, there was one more thing she had to bring up. Hadn't James promised her that they would move out of the Quigley residence? If they moved out, she would gain her freedom and wouldn

Norman strongly adhered to family traditions, much like the aristocrats of Eurania. Despite living in modern times, their descendants would reside in ancient castles, as they took pride in their family history. Norman shared this sentiment. He believed that the Quigley residence symbolized the Quigley family’s glorious history, so it was imperative for the heirs to live there.This posed a challenge. Summer hoped to move out of the Quigley residence soon. If Norman opposed the idea, they wouldn't be able to move out.Hence, she said, "I've decided to talk to your dad tomorrow. Let me try to persuade him.""You?" James appeared somewhat surprised. His handsome face expressed doubt, like he didn't have much faith in Summer's ability. After all, even he himself found it very difficult to persuade Norman, let alone Summer.Summer added, "I know you don't believe me, but we won't know the truth until we try it. Let me try to persuade your dad.""Okay, I'll let you do it," James a

Lexi appeared particularly thoughtful. This time, she had not only come out to protect Summer, but she had also brought an umbrella, water, and sunscreen. Seeing her take out so many things, Summer asked in surprise, "Why did you bring all these things, Lexi?""Mrs. Quigley, of course, I have to bring them when accompanying you. A woman needs to take care of herself, especially a beautiful one like you."Summer felt delighted upon hearing the compliment. Her heart filled with happiness. Although she knew Lexi was only flattering her, she still enjoyed hearing it. She patted Lexi's head and remarked, "Lexi, you've become quite skilled lately. Your words are so sweet.""That's for sure. After all, I still rely on Mr. Quigley for my salary. How can I not flatter you, Mrs. Quigley?" For a moment, Lexi revealed her true intentions, saying that her efforts were for money.However, speaking about salary, Summer decided she should consider giving Lexi a raise. Ever since Lexi had bec

Norman chuckled, picked up a basketball, and started playing it. He handled the basketball with great skill. It was obvious that he had been in this sport for a long time. What stood out the most was his handsome posture while playing. He took a few steps before swiftly spinning the basketball. It seemed like an extension of his body, moving in sync with him.Under the sunlight, Norman's shadow stretched as he smoothly shot a three-pointer. He took two steps before leaping on the third and scoring successfully. Norman's dunk wasn't simply a straightforward shot; he had dunked the basketball into the net with flair. Summer watched in awe. Norman was not young. He was at least 50 years old, but he exuded the energy of a 20-year-old.Norman turned back and asked, "Summer, what do you think?""Absolutely amazing!" Summer exclaimed sincerely. She had witnessed many young men play basketball during her university days. However, none could compare to Norman's prowess.Had it not b

Now that he was having a conversation with Norman, Summer felt he exuded an air that was different from the others. Not only was he easy to talk to, but he was also incredibly kind to her."Dad, thank you." Summer paused, seemingly hesitating. Then, she continued, "Actually, since I joined this family, you're the first person to praise me."Norman naturally understood what Summer meant. Although he was seldom at home, he was aware of the events that unfolded in the Quigley residence, especially regarding how Caroline treated Summer.With a hearty smile, he reassured Summer, "Your mother-in-law doesn't have ill intentions toward you. She just feels that you're of average status, so she is more picky with you. "But she is a good person deep down. Once you spend more time with her, you'll discover her good qualities."Summer just chuckled in response. How could Caroline be a good person? She was clearly a vicious and cruel woman! It was precisely because Summer had spent time wi

Norman was also clever. He waved to signal his old friends not to inquire further. He said, "Young people have their own world. You've all lived for so long. Why ask?""Norman, you're quite something. It won't hurt to ask, right? Do you not care about your son's affairs?" the bald man teased."Ritche, my son has a tough personality. I can't even control his affairs, let alone you outsiders," Norman retorted. Having said that, he no longer entertained them. He waved again to dismiss them since he was about to leave. He said, "Our basketball game is over for today. Let's plan for next time."Norman wanted to leave, but the others definitely wouldn't allow him to do so. Their conversation of interest hadn't concluded. However, they couldn't possibly stop him when he wanted to leave. Eventually, Norman successfully led Summer away with him.They walked along a gravel path outside of the basketball court. There were few people around. The sun was also gradually setting.Norman walk

It was certain that Caroline wouldn't let James move out, so the problem persisted.Next, Summer still had to talk to James about the issue. Summer had already thanked Norman politely. After all, he had agreed to her request. The next steps depended on fate.After returning home in the evening, Summer went to discuss the matter with James. He had just returned from work and looked exhausted. Initially, Summer considered postponing the discussion to another day, but it could not be delayed any longer. If she delayed it further, she was afraid there wouldn't be much time."James, I've talked to your dad. He agreed that we can move out, but we have to get your mom's permission first. So, if your mom agrees, we can move out.""Is that so?" James responded calmly, like he wasn't surprised that Summer had been able to persuade Norman.Summer felt dissatisfied with his indifferent attitude. After all, she had spent the entire day under the sun to persuade Norman. At the very least, s

Lexi had a doctor over to check on Summer. The doctor explained that Summer's body had become so weak because she had been eating too much strange food. What exactly had Summer eaten? Well, there were plenty of items, such as edible bird nests, pine mushrooms, herbal remedy, goat stews, and even some insects.Yes, she had also eaten insects. Who knew where Caroline had gotten that idea? But she claimed that eating insects would increase the chances of pregnancy. Therefore, regardless of Summer's willingness, Caroline had instructed Luca to forcefully feed her. The consequence, of course, was tragic. Summer was successfully tortured to the point where her body was barely recognizable. She was so weak that she could collapse at the slightest breeze.These days, Summer had truly had enough. Caroline's torture means were more and more inhumane, and she would either punish or scold Summer for the slightest mistake.At this moment, Lexi suggested, "Why don't we talk to Mr. Quigley?"
