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

It was impossible for geese to voluntarily consume so much food. Like any other animal, they would stop eating after feeling full. However, the geese had to be fed fat in order to obtain large livers. Hence, the method of force-feeding was employed. Regardless of whether the geese felt full, they would be fed three to four times more than their normal intake.Summer shook her head and refused, "I don't like to eat this.""Why?" Keith asked."It's too cruel. I know how these foie gras are made," Summer explained. She just didn't want to eat it at all. It was too cruel. She would feel guilty eating it.Keith scoffed at Summer's innocence, saying, "Even if you know how foie gras is made, so what? "Only the strongest survive, and the weaker ones would naturally be eliminated. It's because they're useless, so they were dominated by human beings. Isn't it the same logic as when you eat pork?"What Keith said was right. In nature, the strongest survived, while the useless creatures w

If there really was to be a change, it wouldn't be others changing him, but about him changing others.Now, he didn't care if they were in public. Keith stood up and leaned in toward Summer. With only a two-inch gap between them, he came closer and whispered in her ear, "You want to make a change in me, right? Sure, but you'll have to be my woman first, just like you did for James."The surroundings fell silent. A strange feeling pervaded the restaurant.Summer felt that Keith had come too close to her, so she attempted to move the chair back a little. But before she could do so, Keith reached out and pressed his hand on her shoulder, making her unable to move."What are you trying to do?" Summer asked nervously. She was afraid that Keith would do something to her."You should know what I'm doing," he said mysteriously. He approached Summer again as he spoke, narrowing the distance between them. Suddenly, Summer realized what he wanted to do. He wanted to kiss her!"Pervert!"

Keith certainly wouldn't let Summer, his little antelope, run away. He snapped his fingers. Two burly bodyguards, who were standing by the entrance of the restaurant, immediately came forward and blocked the main door. Their bodies were as sturdy as hills, and their fierce demeanor showed that they were not to be messed with.It seemed Keith wanted to hold Summer by force. Summer was a weak woman, surely couldn't defeat the two big men. Luckily, she had come prepared.She quietly took out her handphone and wanted to call Lexi outside.However, she suddenly heard a cold voice whispering in her ear, "Who are you calling?"Summer shivered upon hearing the voice. She quickly turned and discovered Keith standing beside her unknowingly. He moved like a ghost, walking soundlessly and appearing out of nowhere. Moreover, his hand was already gripping Summer's wrist."Who are you calling, Summer?" Keith asked again, raising her wrist slightly.Summer awkwardly explained, "I… I wasn't

Summer glanced downward to find a plate of spaghetti on the table. It was the Venus spaghetti that Keith introduced earlier, which had an additional cherry sauce in it. Summer picked up a fork, twirled some noodles, and tasted them. The noodles indeed had a rich cherry flavor that tasted like a fruit burst in her mouth. Summer couldn't resist giving a thumbs-up. She praised, "It's really delicious!""I'm glad you like it." Keith glanced over and said, "I have specially requested this dish for you. I know you enjoy the cherry flavor, so I requested the chef to specifically make it this way."Based on what he said, it seemed that the restaurant didn't typically serve Venus spaghetti, and he had specially requested it. It showed how thoughtful Keith was. The fact that out of all types of fruit flavors, he specifically picked cherry suggested that he had likely done some research on Summer before. Truthfully, Keith had put a lot of effort into "pursuing" her. Summer could see his

Keith had many girlfriends. After all, it was all to satisfy his desires.Keith didn't deny the claim but rather candidly said, "It's just a mutual consensual agreement between consenting parties. I like women, and women like my money. So, we reached a deal. There's nothing wrong with that.""Yes, yes, you're right. It's a mutual agreement, so no one gets hurt. But is this love?" Summer set down her utensils and wiped her mouth with a napkin. She couldn't bother to eat now but continued to lecture him instead, "Keith, that isn't love. So, the root cause of your problem is finding someone you truly love and being in a real relationship with them."Keith kept quiet. His handsome face was full of contemptuous smiles. He probably felt what Summer said was very despicable.Summer didn't give up but said persistently, "Trust me. Don't you want to have the same happiness as James? If it's true love, it can dispel the negative emotions in your mind. Love has that kind of power.""That's
The President's Darling Chapter 682
"First of all, it's impossible for you and me to be in love." Summer stressed her words. "I'm already married to James. Secondly, you don't truly like me!""Do you have proof that I don't truly like you?"Summer was stunned for a moment. She didn't think liking someone would require evidence. She had no way to prove Keith's feelings toward her. Besides, she believed liking someone didn't need any evidence. "Liking someone is something you feel. I just don't feel that you truly like me," Summer explained."Is that so? Then, what do you think about this?" Keith snapped his fingers again. The restaurant's music dimmed. The glazed lights on the ceiling emitted a faint pearly white glow. The performance band started playing a romantic melody.The scene was as beautiful as a dream. Summer couldn't believe what she was seeing was real. Most importantly, the beautiful scene wasn't the end but merely the beginning.Subsequently, fluffy white snow began falling from the ceiling. The lig

Keith had planned a confession scene that no woman would reject, but it definitely was ineffective on Summer.Summer rejected the confession without any hesitation. She said coldly, "No! Are you stupid? I already have a husband. How could I be your girlfriend?"Having said that, she shifted her gaze from the diamond ring in his hand to the cake, poking it slightly with her finger and then tasting it."Delicious! This cake is not bad," Summer remarked. She just had spaghetti and now, she was indulging in this delicious dessert. Life felt incredibly good right then.Summer returned to the table to pick up her fork and knife, thinking of cutting the human-shaped cake in front of her. However, at the same time, she felt it would be a shame to do so. The cake was really pretty, and it truly resembled her. She just couldn't bear to destroy it. Therefore, she decided to take a photo with the human-shaped cake before eating it!"Hey, Keith, help me take a photo," she called out as she h

"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

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
