The President's Darling Chapter 649
Simone had shown up out of nowhere and started making baseless accusations that Summer was trying to seduce her man. However, this couldn't have been further from the truth.Summer said, "Simone, could you please be rational? I haven't done anything, let alone tried to seduce Hank."Simone retorted, "Are you absolutely certain you're innocent? Do you think I'm oblivious? I witnessed what happened between you and Hank at the cinema. I had discreetly followed him. You should be aware of your actions."Summer was stunned upon hearing her words. She remembered the incident when Hank had come to find her at the cinema before. He had even asked her to reconcile with him, but she had already turned him down.Now, Simone was stirring up trouble, falsely accusing her of seducing Hank. Apparently, there was some misunderstanding there."Simone, I want to make it clear that I have no connection with Hank anymore. When he came to the cinema before, he asked me to reconcile, but I declined."

When Simone grabbed Summer, Summer reciprocated by exerting force and grabbing her back. They struggled at the entrance of the elevator for a while.Soon, a crowd began to gather around them. Summer felt uncomfortable as everyone seemed to be observing them as though they were watching a show."Simone, release me! This is my workplace. What gives you the right to barge in and interrogate me? I will call the police!""Go ahead and call the police. Let's see who ends up looking more shameless." Simone showed no signs of backing down from confronting Summer.Summer hesitated to involve the police, fearing the situation might attract media attention as well.Summer's identity had shifted; she was no longer Ms. Charter from the Charter family, but Mrs. Quigley, wife of the president of Quigley Group. If the media became involved, James would also be affected.Left with no alternative, Summer said reluctantly, "Fine. You want to confront me, right? Call Hank downstairs. I'll confront h

Summer wouldn't let trivial matters disturb her work. Therefore, she turned and walked away coldly. Meanwhile, Simone didn't want to let her leave, so she rushed over in her high heels to stop Summer."You can't run away. Are you afraid of confronting Hank?""I can't be bothered to confront him. He's obviously too scared to come here. You were too stupid, so you fell for his trap."Hank was a jerk. Since Summer had realized his true colors, she wasn't willing to continue the conversation. However, Simone used to be her friend. Although the former hadn't treated her well, Summer still gave her a reminder. "Do be careful. You won't have a happy ending if you continue dating Hank.""Mind your own business." Simone was very ungrateful and scolded Summer. "You're a scheming bitch! Don't worry about our relationship. You're the one who seduced others first!"On the other hand, Summer felt a little helpless because Simone kept talking. Why was Simone so domineering? Summer had never
The President's Darling Chapter 652
After that, Simone left angrily. Meanwhile, Summer just thought that Simone seemed very childish, and her threats was like that of a young child's. Well, at least she managed to solve the problem. She had to get back to work. Charter Corporation was working on two important projects at the moment. The consequences would be severe if they were delayed. However, the troubles came one after the one for Summer. As she finished settling the issue with Simone, someone else looked for her. "Summer!" A shrill voice rang out. Once Summer heard that, she felt dread. She would recognize that voice anywhere. It belonged to Caroline, her evil mother-in-law. Turning back, Summer saw Caroline, who was standing at the traffic junction. The latter wore a pair of white sandals and looked opulent. She was also carrying a branded bag and looked like an extremely rich person. Why would Caroline show up there? Summer had initially thought that they wouldn't meet after she had moved out of the

"This place isn't too bad. Is this where you usually work?" Caroline asked. "Yes, Mom…""It seems that you're managing your company well. So that's why you wanted to leave the Quigley residence. Didn't we give you enough money to spend? Do you really have to work here?" she questioned disapprovingly. Meanwhile, Summer didn't dare to retort. Did she have to tell Caroline her ambitions and goals? Since she was afraid that Caroline would laugh at that, she replied, "I don't think a woman should stay at home all day. That isn't good.""You're spouting nonsense. Why wouldn't that be good? You're my daughter-in-law. Why would you want to flaunt yourself to the public?" Caroline's expression turned frosty. "One more question. What happened between you and that lady just now?"Finally, Caroline mentioned Simone. Summer knew that she couldn't pretend that nothing had happened, and she wouldn't think that Caroline would forget about that issue. However, she didn't know how to explai
The President's Darling Chapter 654
When Caroline saw Summer's reddened eyes, she didn't feel bad at all. Instead, she sneered, "What? Are you trying to gain my sympathy by acting pitiful? "I'm not easy to fool. Just because you left the Quigley residence, it doesn't mean that I won't be able to do anything to you. If I wanted to teach you a lesson, I have many methods to do so."Summer knew that Caroline had many methods to deal with her. Her mother-in-law was Quigley Group's advisor and was Norman's wife. She could easily crush Summer because the company was powerful enough.If Caroline continued talking, she would only wrongfully accuse her daughter-in-law. Therefore, Summer said helplessly, "Mom… Couldn't you listen to my explanation?""Listen to your explanation? Alright. I'll find out what really happened from you. I want to hear what a so-called 'adulteress' has to say for herself."Caroline had obviously assumed that Summer was an adulteress. Summer couldn't understand why her mother-in-law was so ruthles
The President's Darling Chapter 655
Apart from their wealth, the Quigleys looked the same as the average person. Though that was what Summer thought, she didn't dare to retort. As such, she could only lower her head timidly. "Mom, you're right… I shouldn't have done that."Summer actually wasn't a pushover and was very headstrong. If she fought with Caroline, the consequences would be severe. She had a happier life with James after undergoing much difficulty. To continue living happily with her husband, Summer wanted to avoid conflict with Caroline. After scolding Summer, Caroline felt less angry. Then, she stood up coldly and said, "Summer, I wasn't scolding you intentionally, but you're James' wife. You'll have to uphold certain rules.""Yes, Mom…""Do you know what you did wrong now?"Summer wondered what mistake she had made. The greatest mistake in her life was not knowing how cruel Caroline was before she married into the Quigley family. If she'd known better, she wouldn't have married James.However, sh
The President's Darling Chapter 656
As expected, once Caroline heard that James had requested that himself, she became less angry. She said slowly, "Since that's what James wanted, I believe he hopes you'll deepen your knowledge to improve your capabilities and be a better wife. However, you're a woman, so you can't be too ambitious."Caroline changed the topic. It seemed like she wasn't causing trouble for Summer anymore. Summer immediately said, "Don't worry, Mom. I'm not very ambitious. I just returned to the company to reduce my father's workload and to improve myself."Then, Caroline nodded and prepared to leave. However, she suddenly noticed a stack of documents on the table. She curiously picked up the documents and looked at them. "What is this?" Summer realized that the documents were for investment projects with property companies that Charter Corporation was involved in. "These are our business reports. We've received two important projects recently," she explained. "Is that so? You're pretty cap

"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,
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
