The President's Darling Chapter 717
Summer was very worried. James was her husband, so she was extremely worried for his safety. As such, she ran to the living room and called him before she brushed her teeth. Even though she called him a few times, no one picked up. His phone was switched off. That was an important problem. James never switched off his phone, even when he was asleep. He was a businessman, so if he kept his phone switched off, it would affect his work.Where was James? Summer started fretting and decided to go to Quigley Group to look for James.After hurriedly changing her clothes, Summer ran out. However, she ran into Lexi in the garden in the residential area. "Good morning, Mrs. Quigley," Lexi said. She asked, "Why are you in a hurry today?""I'm going to look for James. Something bad must have happened because he didn't come back last night."Summer looked very frantic, and she had even worn her shoes wrongly. She had worn a running shoe on one foot and slippers on the other. After see

"Alright, Mrs. Quigley," Lexi replied. Meanwhile, James was at the Quigley residence. He had drunk too much with his client the entire night, so the bodyguards had taken him back to the Quigley residence. By the time James woke from his sleep, he had sobered up. Once he washed up, he checked his phone and saw Summer's missed calls. He immediately called her back. "Summie? I'm sorry. I drank too much with my client last night.""It's fine. I heard about what happened." Summer was very understanding. Though James hadn't wanted to socialize with his client, he'd still had to do it. "Rest well and don't work too hard. Didn't you tell me before that you'd give the work to your subordinates? You have to make good use of your employees."Summer recalled their conversation from a week ago when they had talked about how to select employees. Though it had made her sleepy, she still remembered it. After getting a lecture from Summer, James could only nod and say, "I'll rest well. You

Caroline started laughing and said, "Please don't blame him, Layla. My son doesn't like to speak much."Layla replied, "Why would I blame him? I used to meet him frequently in the past. He's a smart and capable man. It's an advantage for men to speak less and do more." After that, she observed James like she was admiring an art piece and nodded in satisfaction. Her gaze made James uncomfortable. He turned away and said coldly, "If there's nothing else, I'm leaving. I have work to attend to at the company." At first, Caroline wanted to stop James so they could chat more. However, before she spoke, the young woman sitting on the couch spoke up. Suzanne wore a long, patterned skirt and had wavy hair. She also had a curvaceous figure and looked rather innocent. Seeing that James was about to leave, she hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, Mr. Quigley. Do you remember me?"James turned around. He didn't know who she was, so he said, "I don't recognize you."Although Suzanne had kn

"James, where are you going? It's noon now. Why don't you stay here for a meal?" Caroline asked gently. Suzanne and Layla stood behind her. After looking at the people behind Caroline coldly, he replied, "It's fine, Mom. I still have a lot of matters to settle at the company.""Work is never-ending, but you've come back home after a long time. Shouldn't you stay for a meal?" Caroline knew that James was very stubborn and wouldn't change his mind easily. As such, she lowered her voice and questioned angrily, "Now that you've moved out with Summer, are you going to cut ties with me? Are you going to be an ungrateful son?"James couldn't refuse Caroline after hearing her words. So, he went back to eat. After all, she had already chided him for being ungrateful. If he didn't listen to her orders, he would be put in a difficult position. There were many tasty dishes on the dining table in the Quigley residence. Although the Quigleys always ate luxurious food, the meal seemed more ma

Caroline felt a little awkward. Initially, she had invited Layla and Suzanne to have a good chat. When she had realized that Suzanne knew James, she had been very happy. However, James just treated her like she was invisible. To diffuse the awkwardness, Caroline asked, "Suzanne, since you recognize James, why don't you two introduce yourselves to each other?" Then, she said, "You can't be rude, James. The Camberwells and our family have many collaborations. You're the president of Quigley Group, and Suzanne will take over Camberwell Group in the future. So, you two have to establish good connections with each other."Caroline spoke very seriously, and it seemed like an order. Actually, James knew what she was thinking, but he didn't expose her. After all, she was right. Quigley Group and Camberwell Group had many collaborations with one another. So, they had to introduce themselves to each other properly. He placed his fork down and looked at Suzanne seriously. "Hello, Ms. C
The President's Darling Chapter 722
"James, why don't you drop Layla and Suzanne home after the meal?" Caroline wanted to give Suzanne and James an opportunity to talk to each other. However, James replied coldly, "I need to settle some problems in the company after this, so I'll get the driver to send them home.""A driver? You're so disobedient. How could I be at ease if the driver takes them home? Moreover, you're the president of Quigley Group, and you have to collaborate with the Camberwells. You should seize the opportunity to interact well with Suzanne." Caroline's voice became stern; it seemed like she would become furious if James refused her orders. Layla said, "Yes, Mr. Quigley. Our families are on good terms with each other. After Suzanne takes over Camberwell Group, you two will dominate Rosseera City's finance sector. "The Camberwells and the Quigleys were close with one another and had to collaborate frequently, so James couldn't reject the suggestion. Since it involved work, he could only agree t

Suzanne had just returned from overseas, so she hadn't known that James was married. If not for the call earlier on, she would have assumed that James was single. Caroline wanted to smooth things over, so she smiled tenderly. "James is married, but his partner isn't that perfect yet. We're still keeping an eye on her."Her words evidently implied that she disliked Summer. Yet, James replied coldly, "I like Summer, and I'll like her forever."The mood was ruined, and everyone became unhappy. No one knew what to say. That was exactly what James had wanted; he had wanted everyone to know that he was married so that they wouldn't come up with any strange ideas. After finishing the meal, James dropped Suzanne and Layla home. Yet, none of them spoke in the car. Layla and Suzanne knew that James was upset, so they didn't dare to speak at all. Once they returned to the Camberwell residence, Suzanne became very angry. She complained, asking, "Mom, what's going on? Why is James marri

Suzanne and Caroline had spoken a lot when Suzanne had visited the Quigley residence. Both of them had a good relationship with each other. So, Suzanne was certain that if she got together with James, the Quigleys would approve of her. But would James choose her? Suzanne replied, "James and Summer seem to love each other a lot. A marriage involves two people. Even if Aunt Caroline likes me, it won't help.""Caroline likes you, so she will help you. Do you think that you won't be able to defeat Summer?""That's not it." Suzanne was confident of her abilities. When she had been in Mystoria, many rich scions had wooed her relentlessly. After she had returned to her native country, she had also received invitations from many prestigious families in hopes that she could go on a blind date with their sons. So, she was definitely more attractive than Summer.Finally, Suzanne made up her mind. "I got it, Mom. I'll try my best to get what I want. Since I like him, I'll have to work 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
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
