The President's Darling Chapter 907
Summer couldn't be bothered with Bradly anymore, so she turned to Zach and asked, "What about you? What's Keith holding over you?"Zach was the epitome of a good guy. Why would he have any scandals? Zach and Yola were happily together and about to get married. Could he be a playboy like Bradly? If that were the case, Summer would definitely be having a word with Yola. Fortunately, Zach's issue wasn't anything scandalous—it was something from the previous generation of his family."The previous generation engaged in some shady dealings, bribing officials to expand the business. Somehow, Keith got wind of it and threatened to expose the evidence if I didn't comply with him."Summer nodded. It finally made sense why Zach was under Keith's control. If Keith handed over the evidence, it wouldn't be Zach in trouble. Instead, his father, Ryan, would be facing serious consequences. Bribery was a serious crime, and depending on the amount involved, it could lead to a heavy prison sen

The problem was that Summer couldn't locate the driver's family. After two days of searching, she had come up empty-handed.James had also tried to help with the investigation of York's death, but his time was limited. As the president of Quigley Group, his schedule was packed. With the recent upheaval over the head of the Ritter family, James was swamped with negotiations and new business arrangements.Monica reached out to Summer. They arranged to meet at a café near the Beaut Moon residential area early that morning.Monica arrived in a flowing dress, her demeanor subdued. It was clear that she was disheartened after losing the family head position."Why did you ask me out this time?" Summer asked."I know you've been investigating my father's death. I think we should work together because, as I've said before, I'm convinced my brother is responsible for my father's death," Monica stated firmly. Summer was unsure why Monica was so confident, as until now, Monica had no concre
The President's Darling Chapter 909
Summer responded, "Oh, Monica, please don't sound so confident. I can investigate on my own. In fact, teaming up with you might even mess things up."Monica scoffed, "I can't believe you think I'm a hindrance. Don't underestimate my abilities, Summer."Summer noticed Monica's confident and aloof expression and wondered what leverage she had left. Wasn't Monica powerless? Now that Keith was the family head, she could no longer rely on the Ritter family's resources. This meant that she was not the powerful heiress she once was—and that she was possibly even less influential than Summer.Summer asked, "Okay. You claim to have the resources. Show me what you've got."Monica had anticipated Summer's challenge. She pulled a tablet out of her black handbag and showed Summer a map on the screen. A red dot flashed on the map."What's this?" Summer asked, confused by the red dot."Don't you get it? That red dot is where your good friend Kelly is. I've already located her.""What?" Summ

"I considered it, but my brother wouldn't do that because it's too risky." Monica stated. She reasoned that since York had only recently died, any additional deaths within the Ritter family would make people suspect something was amiss.Moreover, there was no point in killing Monica as she no longer posed a threat to Keith. She could no longer contend for the position of family head. Given Keith's cautious nature, he was unlikely to act against her.Given these reasons, Monica could move around freely and secretly investigate her father's accident. After hearing Monica's perspective, Summer felt some degree of respect for her. She had initially thought of Monica as a spoilt young heiress. However, through their interactions, she realized that despite her youth, Monica was perceptive, strategic, and had a holistic understanding of the situation. Indeed, one should never underestimate those born into influential families."All right. Monica. I hope our cooperation will be successf

Summer had to be discreet about finding Kelly. If she rang the doorbell, the occupants of the house would likely avoid answering. Moreover, Kelly intentionally avoided Summer and might not have come out if she had seen her.After considering her options, Summer decided to climb over the iron fence, which was six feet high and topped with sharp iron spikes. Fortunately, Summer was dressed in black sportswear, which was both comfortable and practical. Her experience with scaling school walls during college made the climb manageable. With a bit of effort, she successfully made her way over.Once inside, Summer crept quietly across the lawn and slipped through an open window, moving stealthily like a thief.Inside the house, Summer could hear sounds coming from the living room. It seemed like someone was watching television. Was it Kelly?Summer approached quietly and realized that it was indeed Kelly! Kelly was sitting on the sofa, engrossed in a TV drama. The living room was spars

"Can you please leave, Summie?""Kelly…""Please leave," Kelly pleaded once again. She was clearly in no state to continue the conversation. Pushing her any further would only cause more distress. Summer had no choice but to leave. She slowly backed away until she reached the door, yet she didn't step out; she merely opened it."Kelly, do you really want me to go? Have you forgotten that we're best friends? No matter what happens, you can always talk to me," Summer asked, her voice tinged with worry. She was concerned for Kelly and didn't want to miss a chance to uncover the truth. However, Kelly maintained her stance. Her eyes were filled with panic, her face tense. She didn't respond to Summer's question. Instead, she waved her arms frantically, urging Summer to leave.Summer had no choice but to leave. No matter what she said, Kelly was unwilling to talk. All Summer could do was wait for her to calm down.That evening, Summer returned to the Beaut Moon residential area. She

Just then, James returned home from work and noticed Summer sitting alone on the couch, her face puffed up with anger. Concerned, he asked, "What's wrong, Summie? Who made you so upset?""Keith did.""Keith?" James was puzzled, not understanding why Summer was at odds with Keith again. The Ritter Corporation had undergone significant changes recently, and since taking over as the head of the family, Keith had been attending various meetings as the chairman of the organization. James had even spoken to him earlier in the day.Seeing Summer so upset, James figured she was still suspicious that Keith was behind York's death. He decided to explain, "I've been investigating the matter thoroughly lately. I actually planned to talk to you about it today. Perhaps it's a good time to let you know—Keith probably isn't the culprit.""Keith is not the murderer? Are you saying that he didn't orchestrate the car accident that killed his father?""That's right. I'm one hundred percent sure."
The President's Darling Chapter 914
Summer agreed with James' suggestion. She hadn't had a proper conversation with Kelly yet, so she couldn't understand why her friend had ended up in such a state. It was essential to speak with Kelly first.After thinking it over for a moment, Summer came up with an idea. If she wanted to meet Kelly, perhaps Keith could serve as a bridge between them. After all, if what James said was true and Keith was indeed innocent, then he would likely agree to help set up a meeting with Kelly. Summer suggested, "James, since you've already met Keith and he's likely with Kelly, could you talk to him and see if he can arrange something?""Sure. There's a meeting with Ritter Corporation tomorrow. I'll bring it up with Keith then," James replied.At 1:00 am, the stars outside the window were dim, with only the faint light of the moon barely visible. Summer lay in bed, feeling restless and unable to sleep. James, on the other hand, was sleeping as deeply as a log.Having spent so much time wit

"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

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
