The President's Darling Chapter 872
Some of the older guests held themselves in high regard and didn't want to join in on the discussion. Despite that, they were secretly listening in from a short distance away. Many of them were weighing in on the issue from an outsider's standpoint. In their opinion, the main household of the Quigley family was an embarrassment. How could they accept such a mediocre woman as a daughter-in-law?There were countless conflicts within the previous generation. For example, Norman Quigley overthrew his father and took his place as the head of the family after a huge amount of effort. Hence, the older relatives would seem respectful, but they would secretly pray for the main family's downfall.Caroline was talking to a group of women about jewelry when she overheard the commotion. After asking Luca about the situation, she discovered that Summer returned looking like a mess. She was furious. How could Summer possibly show up at such an important event looking like that? She had embarras

Summer knew that she might give off a terrible first impression, but she had no choice. She sprinted over as soon as she remembered the party. The snowstorm outside made it difficult for her to make her way back. So, she ended up looking extremely disheveled upon her arrival.She shook her head and tried not to overthink. The party was still going on. At the very least, she still needed to make an appearance downstairs. Otherwise, people might think that she was too embarrassed to even show her face.In the main hall, slow music filled the air. Ten minutes later, it was finally time for the main event of the night—the waltz.In the middle of the room, there was a polished, circular-shaped platform about 4 inches off the ground. The surface of the platform was covered with crystals. The Quigleys had it specifically made for the Christmas party. The younger generation of the family loved dancing on top of it. At the moment, James felt incredibly awkward. The people around him

A young butler approached James respectfully and asked, "Mr. Quigley, Mr. Norman is wondering why you're still not dancing."James didn't respond and dismissed the butler with a wave. However, his cousins happened to overhear the conversation. Hayden was still trying to get in James' good graces. So, he leaned over with a smile and said, "I think you should just go and dance, James. "Aside from you, no one in our generation has the right to the first dance. If you don't get on that dance floor, no one will."Claire immediately rushed forward and grabbed onto James' finger. "He's right, James. Why don't you just partner up with me for the first dance?"Once she popped her question, the other girls started quarreling with each other."No way. If he does plan on dancing, he should do it with me."Soon, the venue became rowdy once again.Typically, the most important man of the family would be tasked with leading the first dance. Thus, it was a huge privilege to be chosen as the

Summer shook her head lightly and wanted to decline. She'd never been good at dancing, and she was incredibly stiff. She'd definitely trip and fall if she tried. However, she didn't have time to say no. In one swift motion, James took her hand and promptly led her to the middle of the dance floor."Music." At the snap of his fingers, the music began playing again. A soft waltz music echoed through the room. The melody was beautiful and resembled the sound of flowing water.In the middle of the huge hall, Summer began dancing under James' lead. Her footwork was all over the place. Anyone could tell that she was an amateur. "James, you idiot. What are you doing? Do you want me to make a fool of myself?" She felt incredibly awkward. Her dancing was terrible. Hence, suddenly, being asked to dance in front of so many people made her extremely anxious. James lowered his head and looked into her eyes. "Don't worry—just follow my lead. We've done this before, remember?"Half a year

More and more people made their way onto the once-empty dance floor. The party felt like it had reached its peak. The waltz concluded after half an hour. Summer and James danced for about ten minutes before they excused themselves. Now, they were by a pillar in the main hall. James took off his jacket and draped it over Summer's shoulders. "Your outfit isn't exactly the warmest—you should be careful not to catch a cold.""Thank you." The latter shot him a light smile. Then, she leaned toward him and asked enthusiastically, "So, how did I do? I did a pretty good job at dancing, didn't I?""Yes, you did. You managed to pull it off in the end.""Of course I did—I'm the one and only Summer Charter, after all." Now that she thought about it, she couldn't believe it herself either. She didn't think she danced exceptionally well, but Susanne proceeded to shower her with compliments as soon as she got off the platform. On top of that, everyone was looking at her with admiration as we

"You said you'd help me get together with James, Mrs. Quigley. Haven't you heard? James danced with Summer earlier," whined Suzanne."What?" Caroline froze for a second before realizing what happened. She wondered why everyone was crowded around the dance floor. As it turned out, James and Summer seemed to have caused quite a stir.However, she wasn't surprised. Since Summer was back, it was only natural that James would dance with her. "Don't worry," said Caroline. "I'll be sure to stand up for you." Subsequently, she marched outside with Suzanne in tow. She was undoubtedly looking to teach Summer a lesson. She already had plans to do so a while ago, but the waltz was going on. Additionally, some of the guests were also trying to talk to her. Hence, she didn't get the chance to look for her.With a cocktail in hand, Summer was talking to James' cousins. The girls used to be incredibly hostile toward her. However, after seeing how well she danced, most of them developed a newfou

Caroline stormed over with Suzanne and a group of butlers in tow. At the sight of Caroline, all of James' cousins swiftly greeted her respectfully."Hello, Aunt Caroline…""Please excuse us, kids. I need to talk to James and Summer." Since there were other people present, Caroline suppressed her anger. Instead, she put on a smile and spoke to them kindly. Immediately after they left, her expression switched, and her face turned dark."Summer Charter!" She yelled at Summer.Her voice was extremely loud. Taken by surprise, Summer almost lost her footing. If it weren't for James' hold on her, she would've slumped to the ground.Now, trying to stabilize herself, she asked timidly, "Is something wrong, Caroline?""What do you think? You've made quite a few mistakes tonight." What did Summer do? First of all, she arrived at the Christmas party fashionably late. This was the worst thing she could've done. The Quigleys' Christmas party was an important event that happened annually.

Caroline must've ordered them to apprehend them. Upon seeing this, James asked coldly, "Do you know what you're doing, Mom?""Of course I do.""In that case, you should know that I won't allow that to happen."Of course, she knew. She could tell by the look in his eyes—James was determined to protect Summer at all costs. However, she didn't care about what he said. Instead, she turned toward the bodyguards and said, "Grab her." Subsequently, she added, "But you are not to injure James.""Yes, ma'am." All seven of the men obeyed. They were skilled fighters with a strong build. They look extremely intimidating.Despite that, James didn't seem afraid at all. Going up against these people was an easy feat for him. The only problem was that it was a public setting. Since there were so many of their relatives present, it'd affect the family's reputation if he were to get into a fight.However, he had no choice. If he stayed put, they'd just take Summer away. He couldn't possibly let
