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."

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

That afternoon, Summer found herself in the revolving restaurant on the top floor of Xomus Tower. The space was modern and luxurious, with floor-to-ceiling glass walls that offered a breathtaking view of the cityscape from 990 feet above.Xomus Tower, a collaborative project between the Quigley and Camberwell families, was known not just for its impressive height but also for the unique feature on its top floor. The floor rotated slowly—a result of the mechanical separation between the rooftop and the building structure—allowing diners to enjoy a panoramic view of the city as they dined.Under different circumstances, Summer might have marveled at the view, perhaps even be filled with awe by the rotating floor. However, her thoughts were elsewhere at that moment. She sat in her short but elegant dress with James beside her. They had arrived ten minutes earlier for their meeting. Keith and Kelly arrived exactly on time. The moment Summer saw Kelly, her heart skipped a beat. They h

"No, Summie. What are you talking about?" Kelly responded, trying to brush off the concern."What am I talking about? Just a few days ago, you looked completely out of sorts when you saw me. And last month, you insisted that I support Keith in becoming the family head. "Not long after that, York died. Are you hiding something?""I'm not. You're overthinking it." Kelly forced a stiff smile. Even though she said nothing had happened, her expression betrayed her words. It clearly suggested that many things had happened, but she didn't want to talk about it. Kelly was never one to play mind games. She was always straightforward and honest, and she was never one to do anything underhanded. Summer remembered how, back in middle school, Kelly had once taken her pen to use during an exam because she didn't have one.For the subsequent days, Kelly acted strangely until she finally confessed. It was just a cheap pen—something Summer had never even thought about—but Kelly had felt guil

Kelly sounded determined. It was evident that these were convictions she held deeply. Summer felt a pang of heartache as her friend was beyond saving. They knew each other too well, and both of them were equally stubborn. Kelly had made up her mind to stay with Keith, even if it meant following him into the depths of hell. Summer realized that trying to convince Kelly with words was futile. The only way to break Kelly's resolve might be to expose Keith's wrongdoings and see him put behind bars. If that happened, perhaps Kelly would finally let go.So, Summer's first task was to uncover the truth behind York's death. It was clear that Kelly knew more than she was letting on. Although Summer doubted Kelly would openly share the details, she hoped to glean some information from her friend's expressions."Kelly, was Keith involved in Mr. York's death? I'm not trying to force you to leave him, but I need you to tell me the truth."When Summer mentioned York's death, Kelly hesitated

Kelly's words left Summer stunned. Summer couldn't tell that Kelly was happy. All she could see was the sorrow and grief hiding beneath that sunny exterior.But if her best friend insisted she was happy, what could she do? Even if it was just self-delusion."Kelly, if this is the life you truly want, I won't stop you. I've asked everything I needed to ask today. I wish you happiness." Summer stood up. Despite her best efforts, she couldn't suppress a sigh. With that, she walked toward the restaurant's exit. In the distance, James and Keith were sipping wine. Seeing Summer leave, James quickly followed her.On the drive back to the Beaut Moon residential area, Summer remained silent. Her expression was distant, and her eyes troubled. It was clear something was weighing on her.James knew it wasn't the best time to speak, but he was worried about Summer. "What's wrong? Didn't things get resolved?" he asked."Kelly has changed. She's really fallen for Keith, and she's completely

"Ah!" James exclaimed, his face a mix of panic and excitement as he fumbled with his hands."Is it true? Are you really pregnant?" he asked anxiously. He could barely get the words out, sounding more like a clumsy boy than the usually composed and authoritative president of a company. Summer covered her mouth and smiled. "Yes. It's true. I'm pregnant, and you're going to be a father.""That's amazing." James took her hand, his face flushed with joy. His usually cold gaze was now filled with a bright, happy look.A child—the thought of it was both familiar and foreign to him. James had dreamed of the day he could have a child, not for the sake of the Quigley family, but for him and Summer.Looking at Summer with a tender expression, James whispered, "Thank you for everything."Although she was pregnant, James wasn't about to let the child overshadow her well-being. After all, she was the one who would bear the brunt of the challenges ahead.Once they returned to their home in

But for someone like Summer, who was used to a simpler life, having three or four people to help would have been plenty. Yet now, James had brought in over ten people."Get rid of these people. I'm not incapable of taking care of myself—I can still cook and do laundry. All these servants and chefs are just taking up space."Besides, Lexi is already protecting me as a bodyguard. Why bring in so many others?" Summer vented her frustration, making it clear she was unhappy.James, however, had his own reasoning. "You're pregnant now. Even though it's in the early stages, we need to be extra careful. Since the child you're carrying is mine, I have to do everything I can to protect you both."Summer retorted, "Listen to yourself. You sound like the baby is just your possession. What about me? Who's the one carrying the child?" She pointed to her belly, adding with a hint of warning, "Anyway, do as I say and send them all away. I can't get used to having so many people in my home."Jam
