The President's Darling Chapter 629
As Summer walked toward her car, she noticed a man waiting for her. He was leaning casually against her car and was dressed in white pants and a blue checkered shirt. Although his face was shrouded in darkness, his silhouette exuded a sense of menace. Summer's intuition warned her that he meant trouble. Though she couldn't figure out his intentions, she suspected they weren't in her favor. She had initially planned to retrieve her car and drive home. However, upon assessing the situation, she hesitated. Engaging with the mysterious man to retrieve her car could be dangerous. So, she quickly opted to take the bus instead. Just as she was about to leave the parking lot, the mysterious man turned and swiftly approached her. "Where do you think you're going?" His voice sounded firm. When his gaze locked with hers, it sent shivers down her spine. Recognizing the danger, Summer tried to run immediately. However, her high-heeled shoes impeded her escape, and she was caught a

Summer lacked even the most basic means of seeking help. Without her phone, she had no choice but to resort to shouting. "Help! Help me!" Her urgent voice echoed through the room. It was the first time she had ever shouted so loudly. But even after nearly a minute of shouting, no one appeared. Summer felt like she was losing her mind. Was there truly no one around? If that was the case, she had to find a way to break out. She studied the room and noticed a wooden chair. It wasn't overly large, but she could manage to lift it. With some effort, Summer raised the wooden chair to smash it against the door. However, as she threw it, the door swung open. It was Keith! Startled by his sudden appearance, Summer instinctively tried to pull the chair back, but it was too late. The chair slipped from her grasp and flew toward Keith. Keith was agile and managed to sidestep the incoming chair. Upon hitting the ground, the wooden chair shattered into pieces with a resounding crash.
The President's Darling Chapter 631
Keith's threat was clear—he wasn't letting her go.Well, in that case, Summer could threaten him right back."Don't say I didn't warn you, Keith. If you keep me trapped here, James will come looking for me. And if he finds out you're the one keeping me captive, you know what will happen."Of course, Keith knew what she meant.James' entire world revolved around Summer. If he found out Keith was behind this, he would likely stop at nothing to confront Keith.However, Keith had been a cautious man all along. Leaning in, he lifted Summer's chin with one hand."Do you think I would do something that James could discover? Even if he suspects me of being the culprit for your disappearance, he doesn't have evidence. He can't lay a finger on me."Keith's tone was chilling. That, coupled with his menacing expression, made him look like a wolf ready to strike.Summer could sense the threat in his words. If she didn't cooperate with him, he might just hurt her.She didn't want to die at

Love was the best medicine and could cure many ailments. If one were to analyze it scientifically, it was probably because falling in love released substances like dopamine and adrenaline, which could somewhat counteract diseases.Since Keith seemed unhappy, he should just fall in love. After all, with his background, it shouldn't be difficult for him to find love.But Keith found Summer's suggestion unbelievable. "You're telling me to fall in love? Will that really make me happy?""Of course! Falling in love can make you happy. Just look at James. He became happy when he fell in love with me," Summer explained with a forced smile. She wanted nothing more than to leave as soon as possible, so she tried her best to placate Keith.However, Keith wasn't one to fall for such a trick. "Love?" He waved dismissively and snorted. "What nonsense.""Have you ever been in love?" Summer asked in return. "If you haven't experienced love, you wouldn't understand what it is.""In love? How

Before Summer could finish her sentence, Keith suddenly rushed over and covered her mouth with his hand. At that moment, his blue eyes seemed to transform into those of a lone wolf—sharp, cold, and piercing. He uttered, "Summer, I now know how to find happiness."That should have been good news. At least it meant that Summer could leave.However, as she looked into his eyes, she couldn't shake off a sense of unease.A smirk gradually formed on Keith's lips, giving off a chilling vibe. It was a coldness that sent shivers down one's spine and shook one's soul."Summer, since you can give James love, give some to me too," Keith said.It felt like a meteorite had crashed from the sky and hit Summer on her head. Dizzy and disoriented, she felt as if stars were spinning around her.She couldn't believe what she had just heard.Had Keith really asked her to give him love? Wasn't he essentially asking her to be in a relationship with him?No, that couldn't be right.Summer tried to

"Do you think you still have a choice now?"Keith stood up as well and took a step forward. Swiftly, he reached out and grabbed her arm. "I've said it before—I get anything I want. Summer, you're mine now. You no longer belong to James."Summer was repulsed by Keith's domineering attitude. He had clearly lost his mind.Knowing that whatever she said next would be futile, Summer decided to resist him.She lifted her foot and stomped on Keith's instep with all her might.Caught off guard, Keith winced in pain and jumped in discomfort.Summer took advantage of the moment and immediately dashed toward the door. Even though she knew the bodyguards were out there, she didn't have the luxury to worry about them.She just had to escape.But Keith was no ordinary man. As an heir, he had received formal martial arts training and physical conditioning. Suppressing the pain in his foot, he leaped forward, covering 16 feet in a single bound.Just as Summer was about to open the door, Keith
The President's Darling Chapter 635
Keith had had an unfortunate upbringing. He had been ostracized from a young age, forcing him to live in the shadows. Initially, Summer had pitied Keith upon hearing of his story.But when faced with his despicable actions toward her, all of Summer's pent-up resentment poured out of her. She cursed at Keith, wishing him a lifetime of misery and loneliness.Normally, such harsh words would enrage the perpetrator. However, to Summer's surprise, Keith abruptly stopped when she finished berating him.Keith's eyes started to lose focus, and his whole body seemed to have turned into stone.Seeing him in such as state puzzled Summer. She couldn't fathom what had happened to him. But regardless of his condition, she was relieved that she was finally safe.Summer began gingerly extricating herself from Keith's grasp, thinking that his distracted state would facilitate her escape.However, she had underestimated him.Keith once again seized her wrist. His tone was icy as he stated, "You'r

At the snap of James' fingers, Charlie rushed in through the door. "Mr. Quigley, we've contacted the police station. When the time comes, the officers will deal with everything accordingly," he reported to James."Good. I'll leave everything to you then." James didn't say anything else. He cast a sideways glance at Keith, who was silent, before leaving with Summer in his arms.Upon leaving the room, they were met with a dark and gloomy corridor. Summer leaned against James' chest and felt safe. She found the corridor in shambles as she left. Countless men dressed in black were lying scattered on the floor. She could tell that James' men had fought with Keith's bodyguards when he had come to save her. No wonder the surroundings were in such an unruly state. Too many things had happened that night. Keith had lost control, and James' had become furious. Hence, Summer couldn't help but feel extremely anxious. She felt as though she was being suspended in midair, even though s

"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
