The President's Darling Chapter 708
"Alright, let's stop talking about it. Your father's waiting for dinner, so we need to head home. And we've got guests to greet later," Layla said, gently pulling Suzanne away. Despite Suzanne's initial reluctance, she eventually relented to Layla's insistence. However, the image of the handsome man remained imprinted in her mind like a photograph frozen in time. …By 11:00 pm, Summer had completed her grueling training session at the Quigley residence and was prepared to head home. As she walked to the gate, she muttered to herself in frustration, "This is absurd! They actually expect me to learn how to paint. I've never had any artistic talents since I was a kid, so how am I supposed to excel at it now?" Summer couldn't fathom why she was being compelled to learn to paint. Before this, she had been taught embroidery at the Quigley residence. Now, the sudden expectation to master painting seemed meaningless. Excelling in painting demanded years of dedicated practice, an

As Summer strolled past Keith and reached for her keys to unlock the car door, he suddenly slammed the door shut. "Hold on, Summer. I haven't finished speaking." Keith's tone dripped with condescension, as if he held some authority over her. Summer despised such attitudes the most; she couldn't stand people who acted like they were superior. Refusing to be intimidated, Summer shot him a disdainful look. "Do you have something else to say? Whatever it is, I'm not interested. If you don't have any business here, step aside. Otherwise, I'll be forced to seek assistance." "Feel free to call whoever you want. I'm curious to see who you'll reach out to," Keith replied, his eyes gleaming mischievously, a smirk dancing on his lips. It was evident he wasn't afraid of Summer seeking help. Intent on standing her ground, Summer resolved to go through with it. She would summon the security guards from the Quigley residence, and Keith would quickly regret his arrogance. "Hel—" Summer
The President's Darling Chapter 710
Summer rolled her eyes. Given that Keith was the president of Ritter Corporation, he shouldn't have the time to suddenly engage her in conversation. She could sense that he had ulterior motives. With the night settling in and the road deserted, if Keith were to take her to some remote location, she would undoubtedly be in real trouble. "I want to get out of the car, Keith!" Summer demanded firmly. However, Keith disregarded her request, persisting in driving without stopping. Normally, she could force her way out by giving Keith a slap, but Summer refrained. She understood that road accidents often resulted from fights or disturbances inside the vehicle. With her life now in Keith's hands, the last thing she wanted was to risk losing control of the car by slapping him. Summer said threateningly, "If you don't stop the car, I'll call James. If he finds out that you forcibly took me away, do you know what the consequences will be?" Summer thought bringing up James would

Keith's words were baffling, and Summer didn't understand what he was trying to say. She asked, "Why did you bring me here?""I want to show you the places where I had played with them in the past." Then, Keith turned and continued walking ahead. After passing by the center of the plaza, he sat at the side of a fountain. The dim light shone on his face, and his dark blue eyes seemed to sparkle like sapphires. He looked a bit sad as he reminisced about the old times. At that moment, Summer knew he wasn't behaving like the usual Keith she knew. In the past, he hadn't been evil at all; he had been an innocent and happy boy. James had mentioned earlier that Keith used to be a cheerful boy when they were younger. Back then, the heirs of the four prestigious families had often played together. However, their relationships had been ruined due to conflicts between their families, resulting in them competing with one another. The friendship between Keith and James had worsened signif

So, she went back despondently. "Keith, I want to leave now. Take me back.""I thought you were very capable. You can return home by yourself." This time, Keith let her leave instead of stopping her because he knew that Summer couldn't go home by herself. This angered Summer so much that she almost wanted to hit him. However, since she was a well-mannered lady, she didn't do that. She replied angrily, "Are you planning on staying here the entire night?" "Yes," Keith replied seriously. His looked very determined, and it seemed that he was really going to stay the night there. Meanwhile, Summer thought he was joking, so she asked, "Are you trying to trick me? You're really going to stay here tonight?""I'm not trying to trick you." Just then, Keith removed his jacket and placed it on the floor. Then, he lay down, looking as if he was going to sleep there. Yet, Summer didn't want to sleep outside because there were many pests and bugs. Besides, the temperature was low, so sh

Summer and James had become a real couple. They had already held their wedding and were living together. No one could ruin their relationship. However, Keith suddenly smirked. "Why? Do you think I'll mind if you aren't a virgin?""What do you want?" After pausing for a while, Summer realized that Keith had already moved closer to her, and his body was almost touching her arm. Summer was afraid, so she bashfully protected her chest with both hands. "Don't come too close. You know what will happen if you try to do something to me.""What will happen?""Of course—" Just then, Keith's hands made contact with her skin. She started yelling, "You pervert!"Summer stood up and hurriedly punched Keith's shoulders with her small fists. "Hey! Stop!" Keith protected his head with his hands, looking rather pathetic. In the end, he held Summer's wrists and stopped her. "Can't you be smarter? Do you really think that I'll do something bad to you? I'm not dumb.""How would I know what you
The President's Darling Chapter 714
Summer got out of the car at 1:00 am. The building's lights were all switched off, and she could see the stars in the sky. Although Keith had taken her away by force, he had still taken her home. So, when Summer stepped out of the car, she thanked him. "You don't have to thank me. We aren't very close," Keith replied coldly. Then, he drove off into a dark street.Meanwhile, Summer still couldn't understand why Keith had come looking for her. Was he planning something weird behind her back? Or was he coming up with another method to ruin her marriage with James?Still, she had remained safe that night. Summer returned home, exhausted, and went to sleep immediately. …At the same time, Keith returned to a luxurious mansion owned by the Ritters. The place was very close to the Beaut Moon residential area and belonged to Ritter Corporation. After parking the car, he returned home to find someone waiting for him. He switched on the lights and saw a young woman sitting inside

Undoubtedly, Keith had the upper hand. He was a skilled businessman, and there were few people who could compete with him in the country. In fact, his stern demeanor could easily scare others away. However, Monica wasn't affected by that because she was used to his indifference. She smiled brightly and said, "Don't panic. I just wanted to check if you've really fallen for Summer.""Summer? That's ridiculous." Keith replied derisively, "I don't like her. She belongs to James, not me." "Is that so? But I know about what you did recently.""You! Did you send someone to stalk me?" Keith glared at Monica, looking murderous. Monica stared back at him and replied calmly, "Yes, I sent someone to stalk you. Kiki, you stalk others too, so why can't I stalk you?" She knew that Keith had sent someone to follow Summer. She was just giving him a taste of his own medicine.Then, she sat down on the couch and said arrogantly, "You haven't answered my question yet. You've fallen for Summ

"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
