The President's Darling Chapter 612
Since Summer wanted to sign the contract, Bradly was definitely willing to sign as well. However, there were a few important points he wanted to clarify before signing the contract."I need you all to ensure that this design will be executed with the utmost care. At the very least, it must be on par with international standards. "You should understand that 100 million dollars for a design fee is not easy to come by. If the work is unsatisfactory, I reserve the right to withdraw the fee," Bradly explained upfront. After all, the cost involved was substantial. He would be at a loss if Charter Corporation submitted subpar work and completed the project perfunctorily.Summer understood the importance. She patted her chest and reassured him. "Don't worry. I will definitely ensure you're satisfied with the design of your high-end villa. If not, I will refund you." Charter Corporation was an excellent real estate developer that had many outstanding and talented individuals. Therefore,

Summer mimicked James' demeanor and how he usually portrayed himself.When Kyle entered the office, he was obviously startled by Summer's appearance. He greeted her reverently, saying, "Good morning, Ms. Charter.""Good morning. We've met a few times before. I believe Mr. Leroux has briefed you on why I've called you here today, right?""Yes. Mr. Leroux has informed me. It's about the design of Walsh Group's high-end villa," Kyle replied."Excellent. Our company has selected several talented architectural engineering designers for this project, and you are one of them. So, I have a few questions for you," Summer said seriously. Although she was unsuitable to be a serious person, she adopted this demeanor when it came to work.Kyle was clearly very nervous. Despite being around the same age as Summer, her presence seemed to demand seriousness from him. After all, he was eager to take up this project. He knew the significance of being entrusted with a project for Walsh Group. Co

Summer had initially thought Kyle had finished speaking, but he clearly hadn't. Then, with his glasses flickering slightly in the light, he continued, "From a realistic standpoint, saving my girlfriend and not my mom is correct. "My mom is older, so her remaining lifespan will be shorter, whereas my girlfriend's will be longer. Therefore, she can spend more time with me. From that perspective, it makes more sense for me to save my girlfriend."Kyle gave a detailed analysis of the question. At least, as an architectural engineering designer thinking about resource efficiency, his answer was satisfactory.However, in terms of character, there was still much to consider. Why had Summer asked such a question? Her main purpose was to take into consideration the other party's personality. At least, in terms of morality, Kyle's approach was still unsatisfactory. When Summer was ready to dismiss him, she noticed Kyle's behavior seemed a little strange. He lowered his head, appearing

"Summie, you're back," James called out.Since he had greeted her, Summer had no choice but to approach him. She said, "Yep, I'm home. Are you working?""Yeah, I'm working. We've got some big orders lately, so I've been busy with overtime," James replied.James indeed had work to do. Summer had initially intended to talk to him about that day's events, but seeing that he was occupied, she decided to postpone their conversation.She waved her hands and said, "I'll take a shower first. I'll come back later when you're free."Summer turned and walked out slowly. However, before she could leave the room, she suddenly felt a strong force pulling her back. A pair of strong arms had wrapped around her waist and carried her up. Summer immediately found herself hanging in midair before she fell onto the bed.Looking back, she found James, who had carried her in bridal style onto the bed.Summer became gloomy. She asked, "What do you think you're doing?""What do you think?" James scoo

"Let's chat, shall we? I don't feel like working anymore," James coaxed her.Summer felt he had become spoiled. Ever since they had started living together, he seemed to dislike working and preferred spending time with her all day long instead.Summer expressed her deep concern about this. She knew James was the type to prioritize love over career. However, she didn't want to be a bad influence, causing disaster with her beauty. So, she warned, "James, you need to focus on your work. You can't neglect your work just because we're together." Perhaps fearing James would not take her words seriously, she added sternly, "I won't pay attention to you if you don't take your work seriously."This statement was obviously effective. Upon hearing that Summer might ignore him, James immediately straightened up and vowed, "I definitely won't hold up my work. I promise!""That's good. I will review Quigley Group's annual profit report. If Quigley Group suffers a loss, I will ignore you!"S

Suddenly, James leaned in and kissed Summer. His long tongue entered her mouth assertively. Summer was caught off guard and found herself once again taken advantage of.She hastily pushed him away, covering her mouth with her hands. She exclaimed, "Despicable!""What does it matter if I'm despicable to you? You're already mine anyway," James retorted."Who belongs to you? Shame on you," Summer replied."You do," James said. With one hand pulling Summer close by her shoulders, and the other hand on her lower back, James leaned in slowly. It seemed that he had mischievous intentions again!But this time, James wanted to kiss her on her neck, not her lips. Upon realizing it, Summer was startled, and she immediately restrained him with both hands. He was obviously unprepared. Plus, Summer acted with a strong force, so she accidentally pushed his head down into the quilt.He struggled for a moment with both hands in the air before suddenly fainting. His body became motionless. Sum

Hence, Summer comforted James. "I understand. Next time, I'll allow you to help me, but you must know when to stop. You mustn't help me too much."What Summer meant by helping too much was offering billions of dollars without any reason to help her company develop. Clearly, it was too much. Anyone could see that James was only protecting her.Now, Summer still owed James 3 billion dollars. She still had to return that money.She needed to clarify that the fact that they were husband and wife was one thing. The debt still had to be cleared.James felt helpless about this. Normally, women would just ask their husbands for money. Summer, on the other hand, was so clear about separating money between them, as if it were a crime to ask him for even a penny more.However, as long as she was happy, James was willing to let her do what she liked.It wasn't too late at night at that moment. Outside the window, the moon was clear, and there were many stars shining brightly. Summer and Ja

When James brought it up, Summer finally recalled that she had indeed said such things before. At that time, she had only said it for fun and hadn't taken it seriously.First of all, James was a busy man. He was so busy all year that he didn't take a day off. How could a man like him possibly take weekends off?Yet, now, James had voluntarily suggested taking weekends off. Summer really hadn't expected that he would do that, so she asked in a concerned tone, "If you take weekends off, who's going to do the work at your company?""I've already assigned the work to my employees accordingly. No worries," he said reassuringly."Is it really okay?" Summer asked. "If your work can be handled by others, why were you so busy before?"In the past, James had always been so busy. Certainly, those matters required his personal attention. Otherwise, why would he work tirelessly all day and night? Now that he had suddenly delegated work to his employees, he would probably be in a lot of troub

"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,

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
