The President's Darling Chapter 669
James had reported Keith to the police and had him arrested, but he still appeared perfectly fine in front of Summer. It seemed that the Ritters had used considerable means to have Keith released from the police station."Alright, you're amazing, Keith. So, what do you want now? Didn't you come here today to apologize to me? You don't look very apologetic right now."An apologetic person wouldn't act so cocky.Summer complained, "If you really want to apologize, be sincere. At the very least, say you're sorry.""Fine, I'm sorry," he said without any emotion. What was more, he was sitting on the office chair with his head held high. Like the lead wolf in front of a pack, he exuded aloofness.Summer felt extremely displeased. If he was going to apologize in this tone, he might as well not apologize at all.However, Summer wasn't petty, so she waved her hand and said, "If there's nothing else, please leave. I'm busy.""There is something else. I want to invite you for dinner."Sum

There was a dark side hidden beneath Keith's personality. Deep within him, there was a twisted and fragmented train of thought. As a former good friend of his, James felt that Keith needed help, which was why he agreed to let Summer help.But suddenly, James had a change of heart. Now, his cold expression showed that he was not willing."Summie, listen to me. You can't be alone with him. I allow you to help him, but you can't meet him like this!""Why are you so worked up… I'm just having dinner with him." Summer couldn't understand. She wasn't going on a date with Keith; there was no harm in having a meal together.Although Summer felt that having dinner wasn't a big deal, James thought otherwise.Summer agreeing to dinner with Keith now could lead to a movie next time. Then, what would happen after that?As a man who liked Summer, James couldn't stop himself from showing concern. Even though he was trying to appear calm, he was filled with unsettling nervousness.James knew

"A month ago, Keith came to see me. He used the incident of the Quigley family abducting you when you were a child to obtain 30% of Quigley Group's shares from me. And, he boasted about taking you away from me."James paused, and his tone became much weaker. "I'm telling you, this is all planned by him. He did so many things just to hurt me.""I know." Smiling, Summer replied, "I've known for a long time. Even the incident of him trying to assault me was fake.""You know…" James was visibly stunned. He probably didn't expect Summer to see through it, hence his surprise.In fact, Summer had only recently found out about this. It was after he tried to violate her that she carefully thought about it and pieced together the clues.Come to think of it, Summer had some complaints. James had known all along that Keith was pretending, yet he never told her.So, she said angrily, "James, you're quite something, letting me be scared for so long. When all this while, you've seen through Kei
The President's Darling Chapter 672
Even though the police released Keith, the incident put immense pressure on the Ritter family, especially when James threatened to terminate the cooperation with them.If a second offense happened, the Ritter family might not be able to withstand the pressure. Therefore, if Keith was smart, he wouldn't resort to violence. Instead, he would use a gentler approach.Now, wearing a black fishtail dress, Summer arrived at the Fronc cuisine restaurant where she had agreed to meet Keith. The restaurant had a romantic atmosphere. As soon as Summer walked in, she was escorted in by two handsome blond waiters.Walking on the restaurant's red carpet, accompanied by beautiful piano music playing in the background, Summer was led to a round table. Keith was already there, dressed in a blue shirt and trousers.That day, Keith looked very handsome, with his hair neatly combed back, revealing his clean forehead, tall nose, and long eyelashes. His Rasnian ancestry showed in his features and indee

After saying that, Summer emphasized, "Tonight, don't treat me like just any woman!"Summer wasn't some elegant lady; she wasn't picky about food. Moreover, she didn't want to order any of those ambiguously named dishes. It felt like once she ordered them, it would imply a relationship with Keith, so it was better to let him handle these things.Keith didn't force her, either. After he was done ordering a few dishes from the menu, the waiter walked toward the kitchen.Keith then said, "It'll be at least ten minutes before our food arrives. How about we enjoy some pre-dinner entertainment?"He raised his hand and waved, beckoning several neatly dressed men to come over. They carried violins, accordions, and flutes and began to play nearby. And it wasn't just any song they played, they were playing the wedding march!Summer rolled her eyes. Was this Keith's way of courting someone? Even though she knew he was scheming to take her away from James, his tactics were too tacky. Not

Keith pretended to be calm and indifferent. "Yes, I've used this trick before. So what? I just didn't expect it wouldn't work on you." "Of course, it wouldn't work on me; I have no interest in you at all. Even if you offered me your entire fortune, I wouldn't be moved."Love was one thing; lack of interest was another. If there was love, even a simple expression of care could make Summer feel happy. If there was none of it, then all efforts were in vain.Right now, all Summer could think about was when she could get to eat. She hadn't eaten anything since noon.Unfortunately, Fronc cuisine was prepared to order. The restaurant had a large number of guests that night, so the food still hadn't arrived even after ten minutes had passed.Keith wasn't concerned about the food. He was more concerned about what methods to use to get Summer."What do you like? I can give you anything," Keith said, trying to entice her. "If you like money, you should know that the Ritter family's wealth
The President's Darling Chapter 675
At this moment, Keith felt his breathing stopped, and his mind went blank. Perhaps it was because Summer had revealed the truth—Keith didn't understand love after all.In fact, how could Keith understand it? He had received harsh training to become the heir from a young age. Due to an accident, he ended up killing his brother with his own hands and was shunned by his family. He had never experienced love. Naturally, he wouldn't know how to love people.As he grew older, he received affection due to his status and prominent appearance. However, it was adult affection. It wasn't genuine love but merely superficial.As if he was submerged in a vat of black ink for a long time, Keith was stained with darkness all over. He couldn't get rid of it, no matter how hard he tried. Indeed, he had become numb and heartless. He wouldn't care about love anymore.Keith raised his head after a long silence. His expression was a little strange. He frowned deeply and said with a half-smile, "Mayb
The President's Darling Chapter 676
Of course, Keith didn't finally become the heir through his own hard work, but rather due to that "accidental murder" accident. Keith was both sad and happy after that accident.He was sad because he had killed his brother, Troy. As long as one's humanity existed, one would feel sadness.But at the same time, he was happy that he didn't need to compete anymore because he had obtained the true position of heir. Keith became the heir of the Ritter family after Troy died.However, he had never once relaxed after the inheritance. He still retained his predatory nature, just like when competing with James now. He wanted to snatch Summer from him."You're mine." Keith looked extremely determined now, like a cheetah locked onto an antelope on the prairie. He wouldn't stop chasing until he caught his prey!Summer couldn't help feeling a chill run down her spine. It didn't feel good to be targeted by someone at all. She nervously gripped the back of her chair and said cautiously, "Calm d

"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
