The President's Darling Chapter 801
Summer couldn't shake the feeling that if Kelly and Keith met, something bad would happen. She decided to warn her friend when the time came. As she entered her house and turned on the lights, she saw someone sitting on the sofa—it was James. Despite it being midnight, he was still awake."James, what's up?" Summer asked."I was waiting for you. I was a bit worried since you weren’t back yet.""Oh, I see. I'm back now. I just finished helping Keith."James was aware Summer had gone to help Keith clear things up. Honesty was important in their relationship, so she had explained everything before heading to the Ritter residence.When Summer sat down on the sofa, James put his arm around her shoulders. "Are you tired, Summie?""I'm not really tired; everything went smoothly, and Keith managed to keep his place as the heir.""That's good to hear," James replied, his usually stern expression softening, giving him a tranquil appearance. He wasn't concerned about Keith's issues—h

"Well… Keith is a complicated person. He's kind of a psychopath," Summer said. She had used "psychopath" because it seemed the most fitting way to describe him.Kelly looked puzzled, her face full of disbelief. "Are you serious, Summie? You're not lying to me, right?"Summer realized Kelly might have misunderstood. She likely thought "psychopath" meant Keith had a mental illness. In reality, Keith didn't have any psychological disorders—his personality was just a bit twisted.For a moment, Summer was unsure whether to tell Kelly everything about Keith. After all, a lot had happened with him. He'd accidentally caused his brother's death, was ostracized by his family, had a dark personality, and would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.Since Kelly was going for a matchmaking session with Keith, Summer felt she deserved to know what kind of person she was dealing with. Even though it was unlikely they would end up together after just one date, Summer thought it was necessary fo
The President's Darling Chapter 803
"I want to go on the date. I didn't have much interest at first, but after hearing so much about Keith from you, I want to see what he's really like," Kelly said, her curiosity piqued."Are you crazy, Kelly?" Summer exclaimed in panic. She always tried to avoid Keith, and now Kelly was eager to meet him. Summer wondered if her best friend had lost her mind.Gripping Kelly's arms, Summer earnestly said, "Don't joke around, Kelly. I'm afraid you'll get into trouble. Keith isn't as simple as you think.""Summie, don't worry about me. I'm not a child anymore. It's just a meeting, not anything serious. You don't have to be so concerned." Kelly smiled brightly, her eyes filled with a longing curiosity, like a bird in a cage yearning for the sky. She was now captivated by the idea of meeting Keith and was determined not to back down until she had.Summer was amazed and worried, wondering if she was sending her friend into the lion's den."Kelly, have you really thought this through?" S
The President's Darling Chapter 804
Kelly still looked cheerful and excited. "I don't think Keith is as awful as you claim he is," she said softly. "Isn't he in quite a pitiful state? It's not like he wanted to get his brother killed. He doesn't want to be shunned by his family either.""There's a reason why people ostracize him, you know?" In Summer's opinion, Keith brought everything upon himself. He was arrogant and cold—who wouldn't want to avoid him? Since he was James' good friend, she initially wanted to help him out. To her dismay, he repeatedly tried to sabotage her relationship with James. Now, she couldn't care less about him.Kelly disagreed and insisted on defending him. "His personality is shaped by society. Deep down, I believe that he yearns for human interaction and affection, too. No one wants to be alone in this world. He's probably this way because he has no other choice."Her voice was extremely soft and gentle, which was unlike her. She usually spoke in a carefree and direct manner. If

Sipping on a cup of mocha, Kelly waited for Keith under the huge parasol. After an extended period of time, the man was still nowhere to be seen. Summer had arranged for them to meet at 2:00 pm sharp, and it was now 2:30 pm. He was half an hour late.She couldn't help but wonder if he'd run into any trouble on the way here. Did he perhaps forget about their date? After all, he was the CEO of Ritter Corporation. Since he was so busy, it wouldn't be surprising if something as trivial as this slipped his mind. If that were the case, she would be absolutely devastated. She continued anxiously waiting for him. She'd never been this nervous in her entire life. She felt as though she was about to go through a life-changing event. "Kelly Williams?" A cold voice suddenly rang out beside her. It came from a man dressed in a light gray suit. He had sharp features, and his hair was slightly curled. The most striking feature about him was his dark blue eyes. He looked like a foreigner
The President's Darling Chapter 806
However, she was completely unfazed by his provocation. She wore a gentle smile on her face the entire time, which caught Keith by surprise. He only showed up to this date in order to humiliate Kelly. By doing so, he could exact revenge on Summer.Keith Ritter had always been a petty man. If anyone were to offend him, he'd make sure to get his revenge. Although Summer helped him secure his place as the family heir, she also had the audacity to make a bold request. On top of that, she even made him promise not to meddle in her relationship. This made him extremely angry. Therefore, he wasn't here for a date—he was here to take out his anger on Kelly instead.He was just getting started. He put on an austere expression and said arrogantly, "You should know that I'm way out of your league. A nobody like you could never become my wife. "However, you lucked out. Since you managed to meet with me, I might as well give you a chance to redeem yourself. Tell me about your strengths. Y

Kelly was just like the other women. They all approached him with ulterior motives. If they weren't after his money, they would be after the status he could offer."Forget it, Ms. Williams. As adults, love is nothing but a joke. I'm more interested in what you can offer me instead." He smiled lightly. His blue eyes were piercing. It felt as though he could see directly into her mind.Kelly didn't avert her gaze. "I know you're looking for happiness, Mr. Ritter. If you date me, I'm certain that I can make you happy."Keith was stunned. Her words drowned out all his negative emotions in an instant. At a loss for words, he remained still for an extended period of time before finally coming back to his senses.He shook his head lightly and said, "Your acting skills are superb. I couldn't even tell if you were joking. You're a much better actress than the rest of the women I've met."She said that she'd make him happy, and he felt like she meant what she said. However, upon further c

Kelly started panicking at the sight of this. She reached for his arm to stop him from leaving. However, she lost her footing when she got up and fell over. In the process, her arm knocked over the cup of coffee on the table. The drink splashed onto her white dress and left a brown stain.At the sound of the commotion, Keith turned around and found that she had fallen onto the ground. Instead of going over to help her up, he spat emotionlessly, "You're doing an awful lot of work just to stop me from leaving. It's really foolish."She probably tripped herself in an attempt to make him stay. Many women had done the same thing at the parties he attended. Still, she looked like she was in a tremendous amount of pain. Her face was contorted, and she was gripping her ankle. Her shoe heel had broken off, too. If this was all an act, she would be a brilliant actress. He didn't think she would break her ankle just to stop him from leaving. So, he chose to believe that she'd actually

"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
