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

If James wasn't involved, Summer couldn't care less about this matter. Caroline was his mother. He can't possibly avoid her forever. Hence, it'd be better if they were on good terms. Summer only chose to intervene as she didn't want James to be unhappy.So, she ignored Caroline and tugged on James' sleeve before continuing. "Let's not argue any further. Your mother is right. Besides, this isn't the first time she's disciplined me.""But Summie…" James lowered his head and stared at her. He was at a loss for words.By the looks of it, Summer was willing to accept her punishment. However, she was his wife. How could he just stand idly by and watch as she was unreasonably mistreated?"All you did was arrive a bit later—that's hardly a cause for concern. You don't need to be punished at all," he said.Then, he turned toward his mother and continued with a serious look, "You're too harsh on Summie, Mom. You're clearly picking on her."Caroline was indeed picking on her. How else was

James stepped forward. He looked domineering, and his gaze turned sharp. Everyone, including Caroline, was startled by his sudden change in demeanor."If you insist that Summer isn't good enough to be your daughter-in-law, then I'll let you have your way," he said.Everyone became confused. He sounded as though he just agreed that Summer wasn't suitable to be his wife. However, he hadn't finished his sentence yet. He continued and said, "If you don't want her to be your daughter-in-law, then I'll simply cut ties with you. "If you're not my mother, she won't be your daughter-in-law. Summer is my wife no matter what!"His declaration was firm and unwavering. Summer was the only person he'd marry, and no one was able to change that. All of the younger guests began cheering for him immediately afterward."Maybe you should stop pressuring him, Aunt Caroline," said Claire. "He really loves Summer.""You can't possibly disown him, right? You should probably let this go, Aunt Caroline

Later into the night, the Quigleys' Christmas party gradually came to an end. When the clock struck midnight, snow began to fall, and the day came to an end.The next morning, Summer was standing under the sun in her nightgown. It was still snowing lightly, and the entire city was covered in white.Winter was a beautiful season. When she was younger, she used to love having snowball fights with her friends in an empty field. After she grew older, she never got the chance to do so again.Now, she was standing on the balcony. The cold winter breeze was blowing at her when she suddenly had an idea. Subsequently, she returned to the bedroom and woke James up."Wake up, James Quigley." Determined to wake him, she pinched his cheeks. James might look grouchy all the time, but he was actually extremely patient. Despite being woken up by Summer, he still looked as calm as ever. Now that he was awake, the latter proceeded to tell him her idea. "It's snowing outside. I did a quick check,

In the modern day, some would claim that it was easy to tell if a person loved you. If a poor man loved you, he would spend a lot of money on you. On the contrary, if a wealthy man loved you, he'd give you all his time. James was clearly an extremely wealthy man. How could he be unwilling to spend some of his time with her?"Do you love me, James?" Summer questioned."That's an age-old question, Summie." Love was a philosophical question that had confounded plenty of historical figures. Now, James didn't know how to answer her question either.She scoffed at the sight of his hesitation. Subsequently, she reached forward and pinched his nose. "Do you even love me?" she demanded. "Why is it taking you so long to answer my question? Now that we've been together for so long, are you starting to get sick of me?""No way!" He replied fiercely. He even raised his right hand and swore, "I, James Quigley, love Summer Charter very, very much.""Right. Since you love me, you should be ab

James dodged it with ease. Afterward, he made another snowball of his own and threw it at her. Once again, the snowball landed on her with a smack before breaking apart. Smaller bits of ice even managed to get inside her clothes. She felt extremely unlucky. "I'll make you pay for your actions, James." Summer already had a couple of huge snowballs ready. She shielded herself from his attacks with one hand and hurled the snowballs at him with another. Despite being adamant about getting revenge, none of her snowballs managed to hit him. He was very agile and quick at dodging. For the next ten minutes, he was the only one that was attacking. Summer, on the other hand, missed all of her shots. She wanted to throw in the towel. She proposed a snowball fight with the intention of teasing him. To her dismay, he didn't think to go easy on her at all.Frustrated, she demanded, "Stand there, James. Don't move a muscle.""Why? I'm not stupid.""You—" she exclaimed."I can't believe

Zach was seething with rage. If it were legally permissible, he would have killed Freddie right then and there because Freddie's signature had cost the company nearly 100 billion. He slammed his hand on the desk and asked sharply, "Tell me, Mr. Crane: what on earth happened? Don't tell me you don't know anything. If you didn't, why is your signature on the contract?""Mr. Myers, I really don't know what happened.""Really? Freddie, I suspect you have betrayed the company and privately transferred assets belonging to the Myers Corporation. You need to understand that these three buildings are the property of Myers Corporation, and you are now implicated in commercial crime!"Zach's usually composed face was now filled with fury. He was genuinely enraged.Freddie looked confused and was clearly distressed. He had no idea why his signature appeared on the contract.In his memory, he hadn't signed anything related to the sale of these commercial buildings. Was the signature forged?

But it was precisely because of this that Freddie continued to plead. "Mr. Myers, please believe me. I will get to the bottom of this and find out who's behind it. I'll start investigating right away.""Enough. Leave.""Mr. Myers…" He was still unwilling to give up. He knew that if he didn't fight for himself, he might end up facing charges of leaking company secrets and committing commercial crimes, possibly ending up in substantial debt. He needed to take responsibility for this situation.Zach, however, was done with the discussion. Freddie was nothing more than a pawn in the Myers Corporation, a well-respected senior from the previous generation with considerable power and influence. Now that he was in charge, this was the perfect opportunity to eliminate Freddie.He said coldly, "Mr. Crane, I'll say it one more time. Leave now, or I will hold you accountable immediately."Being held accountable meant Freddie would have to make up for the loss of 100 billion dollars. Upon he
