Lexi spoke with a bright smile as warm and refreshing as the sun. She was the kind of person Summer was looking for: someone she could talk to and laugh with. Without asking further questions, Summer held Lexi's hand and declared, "It's you.""What?" Lexi was confused for a moment, but Summer was already leading her out of the room.In the living room, Summer said to James, "I want to hire her!"James' discerning eyes scanned Lexi before he instructed quietly, "All right. Charlie, handle the formalities and assign her duties tomorrow.""Yes, Mr. Quigley."And so, Summer successfully found her first female bodyguard, Lexi. Although Lexi looked smart, she was slow to realize she had been hired. After a long while, she came to her senses and jumped ecstatically. "This is amazing! I'm hired! Thank you, my ancestors, for blessing me. And my parents ..."Summer was amused that Lexi was so happy to be hired. However, judging from her reaction, she was lively and optimistic indeed.
Summer asked, "What's wrong, Lexi? Is there anything else?""Yes, madam. Mr. Quigley requested that you get up now and prepare.""Prepare? Prepare for what." Summer was confused before remembering what James had said to her the night before. There was going to be a business party later that evening, with prominent figures of Rosseera City present. As James' wife, Summer had to accompany him.Nevertheless, it was too early to start preparing at nine in the morning."Lexi, are you sure James told me to get ready now?" Summer asked doubtfully."Yes, that's right. Mr. Quigley said you have to get up now. You need to pick a gown and do your makeup. He wants you to look your best."The word "makeup" turned Summer's head to mush. Although she was a woman, she disliked troublesome tasks like dressing up.At first, she thought about staying in bed, but James somehow anticipated her thoughts. Suddenly, she received a text message on her phone with two simple words, "Get up."Summer ang
As the top figure in Rosseera City, James possessed immeasurable wealth. Those who coveted his fortune and sought to benefit from him had to flatter him to establish a business cooperation.Meanwhile, James' expression remained solemn, and his eyes were like bottomless pits. He was not one to engage in pleasantries with others. When they approached, he didn't spare them a glance.But most of them were familiar with James' personality. Even though the rejection was evident, they stuck to him like glue.After James finally dealt with the group of people, a mysterious man approached him from behind. "It seems you're busy tonight, as always.""Aren't you busy, too?" James turned around to reply.The man was Keith Ritter, heir to the Ritter family, another of the four major prestigious families. He was an excellent man with a sinister mind, making him a formidable competitor.Keith sat across from James, swirling a glass of wine in his hand. Taking a sip, he casually asked, "James, ar
The party gradually kicked off. As night fell, the lights flickered on, and gentle music sounded in the venue. At this moment, more guests were arriving as well.James was pacing around the front door with steady steps. Although he looked calm on the outside, he was beginning to feel anxious. It was almost time, but Summer still hadn't arrived yet.Under normal circumstances, it would be fine if she was late, but this party was a little special.This party was jointly organized by the four major, prestigious families. Naturally, the four families had all already arrived. Although the Quigley family had sent James as their representative this time, the other Quigley family members also came, including his mother, Caroline.That night, Caroline was dressed in a white mink fur coat and embroidered dress, exuding luxurious elegance. She proudly walked over in her high heels."James, is your wife not here yet?""No," replied James with little emotion on his face, but he sighed inwar
It was just a joke, but it angered James. He glared with fury blazing in his dark eyes, and an oppressive air shrouded him."Bradly, don't talk nonsense!" James didn't speak loudly, but his tone carried obvious indignation.This stunned Bradly. The two of them had known each other since they were young, but he had never seen James so angry. James' reaction showed how much Summer meant to him.Before this, Bradly and Zach had carried out a small test. In that test, although James had come to save Summer, he hadn't blamed himself afterward. Hence, Bradly thought that even though James liked Summer, it probably wasn't a deep affection.But based on James' current reaction, it seemed that it wasn't so simple. James must have really fallen for Summer."James, no wonder Keith was acting so weird just now. It turns out that the weird one isn't him, but you."Bradly had met Keith upon entering the event hall. Keith had been shaking his head and looked bewildered as he walked past, mutt
Lexi didn't understand how Summer could be so calm. She asked, "Mrs. Quigley, aren't you worried? We were in an accident, and I'm afraid we won't be able to reach the party on time. Mr. Quigley might get angry.""If he wants to get angry, then let him. I just experienced a life-or-death experience. I'm glad to even be alive," Summer complained.But she wasn't wrong to do so. If James hadn't caused so much trouble, she wouldn't have had to go and get her outfit and makeup done, let alone get into a car accident. It was all his fault.As time went by, her mood improved. Before they knew it, ten minutes had passed.The road was now quiet. The stars shone in the sky, and the occasional breeze carried with it a refreshing scent. Summer thought it would be better to sit and stargaze instead of worrying so much. That night, the stars gleamed in the sky, looking bright and gorgeous. So, she pulled Lexi to sit down beside her and started chatting."Lexi, when was the last time you
Summer had witnessed James' methods before. If his subordinates didn't complete a task, they would definitely be punished. But what happened that day wasn't Lexi's fault. It was an accident that no one could have anticipated.Summer comforted Lexi, saying, "Don't think too much. Your job is safe. This accident has nothing to do with you. That thousand-year-old iceberg won't punish you."Lexi felt much more relieved after hearing that. She asked, "Thousand-year-old iceberg? Are you talking about Mr. Quigley?""Yeah. Who else could be called a thousand-year-old iceberg?"Lexi laughed and replied, "Only you would dare to say that, Mrs. Quigley." For a moment, the atmosphere became warm and sweet. In the quiet and dark night, the two women chatted and laughed. The fear and anxiety from earlier had vanished.Just then, a red sports car suddenly approached them from the distant end of the road, its engine roaring loudly. Shortly after, the sports car stopped, and a man in black go
After getting out of the car, Bradly began to explain to Summer that the party had a 20-minute grace period at the beginning, during which everyone was free to move around and greet each other. After 20 minutes, the heirs and their partners would go on stage to give their speeches. Bradly was the last one to go up, while James was the third, which was why they still had time when they arrived.At the moment, Zach was the one on stage. He stood alone in the center of the stage, his voice deep and magnetic as he spoke. His speech was all about business development models, strategies, and how to lead Myers Enterprise to glory in the future. Seeing that he was alone on stage, it was clear that he was single and had no girlfriend or wife.From another perspective, these heirs were quite pitiful. Their love lives had to be stated clearly, and whether or not they were married had to be made public.Summer followed Bradly into the venue while looking for James. It was easy to find h
