"I'm sorry, Mrs. Quigley. I'm not sure about this either. How about I help you to ask around?" Lexi said.Lexi had a good rapport with the Quigley family. She was a lively and charming person. She also got along well with all the household staff. If she wanted to investigate matters concerning the Quigley family, she could easily gather a lot of information by simply asking the housekeepers. Therefore, Summer entrusted Lexi with the task of investigating Herbert.Summer sat in her room alone. The sun was shining brightly in the afternoon, but she found herself unexpectedly hungry. She had been woken up abruptly early in the morning and hadn't had her breakfast or lunch. It was no wonder that she was hungry. Caroline had decreed that no one should give Summer any food since she was allowed only one meal a day as punishment.Initially, Summer hadn't minded eating one meal a day because she used to only eat unfulfilling fruit portions when she had been on a diet last time. Ho

But since Susanne had said that she wanted to see what kind of woman Summer was, the latter was worried Susanne would mock her like Herbert had.So, before Susanne could say anything else, Summer spoke up. "Let me tell you now that I'm just an ordinary person. I was raised in Rosseera City. I can't compare to the Yanceys or the Quigleys. I'm nothing special."Summer decided to dig herself a hole and jump into it before Susanne criticized her.However, to Summer's surprise, Susanne didn't humiliate her. Instead, Susanne took Summer's hand, smiled, and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? It doesn't matter if your background is ordinary or not. "I really like you. You're friendly and beautiful. James is lucky to have married you."Summer thought she had misheard it. Someone had actually said that James was lucky to be married to her!When other people learned that Summer was married to James, they would say she was lucky. However, Susanne actually said it was James' good

At this moment, Summer was quite intrigued. She guessed that the two cousins must not have seen each other for a long time and hence had a lot to talk about. So, she suggested, "How about you two talk first? I'm going out for a walk.""Alright, thank you, Summer." Susanne waved as she escorted Summer out. Summer didn't think much of it, but she noticed the reluctant expression on James' face. There was a complicated look in his eyes, as if he had something he wanted to say but couldn't.Summer didn't know what James wanted to say. She picked up her pace and left the room. It was rare for her not to have a class, so she decided to go out and take a walk.Because of Herbert's arrival, the entire Quigley household had been busy preparing a grand welcome banquet. Summer couldn't help but think that this was both a blessing and a curse. On one hand, her classes had been canceled due to the banquet. On the other hand, she heard that Herbert would be staying at the Quigley residenc

The security guards were quite tactful. Although Caroline didn't allow Summer to leave the residence, Summer was still the lady of the household. If she was accidentally injured, the security guards wouldn't be able to escape the consequences."Mrs. Quigley, please don't make things difficult for us. If you go out, Madam Caroline will definitely put the blame on us," the head of security said in a diplomatic tone."You're all afraid of Caroline, but not me? I want to go out now. It's just a short walk. It's not like I'm leaving this place for good. Why are you all so anxious?" Summer snapped back."Mrs. Quigley, we're only following orders. Please talk to Madam Caroline if you insist on going out." The head of security spoke in a more serious tone when he realized that trying to reason with Summer was useless. At the same time, he also signaled to other security guards to take Summer away.Summer wasn't one to be intimidated. When the security guards grabbed her arms, she took

Summer looked up and saw the head of security fall flat to the ground. His scary face was completely covered in mud and grass.Upon seeing that, she couldn't help laughing out loud. "You're really useless."The head of security was both anxious and furious now. He waved frantically and shouted to his subordinates, "Quick, catch Mrs. Quigley! What are you guys doing standing there?"The security guards snapped to attention after receiving his order. They all started rushing forward, but as they chased after Summer, she swiftly changed direction. Since the head of security had fallen to the ground and their circle had been broken, Summer ran toward the spot where the head of security had been originally standing. Then, she successfully broke through the siege of the security guards.…After a while, Summer was relaxing in a pavilion in the Quigley residence, while the nine security guards behind her were all out of breath. They glared at her. What had happened earlier was like

The two security guards were surprised to see Summer. One of the skinny security guards was the first to react and shouted to arrest Summer. But Summer put on a cold and stern look, imitated James' tone, and said, "Stand down. What do you want to do?"The skinny security guard was clearly new. Moreover, the head of security wasn't around, so he was shocked by Summer's tone and immediately retreated."Who said Caroline didn't allow me to go out? I just got her permission. She said that I looked tired lately, so she allowed me to go out for a walk." Summer used to make up things like this during her university days. At that time, she had pretended to be sick to skip class. Now, she used the same trick and pretended to have asked for Caroline's permission. Just like that, she managed to deceive the skinny security guard.The skinny security guard was doubtful. He asked, "Mrs. Quigley, don't lie to me. Are you being honest?""Of course it's true. Why should I lie to you? If you d

In order to prevent Summer from escaping once again, the head of security was extra cautious this time. He doubled the number of guards in charge of escorting Summer and kept a close eye on her. He was afraid that she would try to escape when he wasn't paying attention.However, as they were in the middle of escorting her, a cold and sharp voice stopped all the security guards in their tracks. "Leave Mrs. Quigley alone."The voice was devoid of any emotion. The head of security was wondering who had the audacity to order him when he realized that it was James. Immediately, he waved his hand to signal the others to let go of Summer."Oh, it's Mr. Quigley. Wasn't Mr. Quigley supposed to be entertaining Mr. Yancey Senior? Why..."The entire Quigley family was busy entertaining Herbert. So, the head of security had thought James would be with Herbert as well. He hadn't expected to see James out here.James had come out because he had heard someone running outside the house. He h

Summer understood what James was trying to say. All in all, he was afraid that she would cause trouble.Summer said indifferently, "I won't cause any trouble. Things haven't been going well for me since I came to your house. But you should go back. I'll go out for a walk.""No," James said.Summer's eyes widened. She was shocked at James's objection. Even he wanted to control her now?Just as Summer was about to get angry, James suddenly held her hand and said, "Let's go together. I don't feel safe letting you walk alone."Summer suddenly felt embarrassed, especially when James' hand touched hers. Her heart pounded.Yet, she didn't stop James from holding her hand. She asked, "Why? Aren't you busy? You have to entertain Uncle Herbert and Susanne.""My parents will take care of them. I'm not needed. Let me go with you," James said.Summer initially wanted to refuse his offer because she wanted to take a stroll on her own. It would be inconvenient to have a man with her, especial

Although she had been hurt before, Summer still longed for romance.When James asked her out, she immediately agreed. "Sure, let's have a date."She forced herself to say it in such a way that she didn't give away her excitement. She didn't want James to think that she was excited about going on a date with him. In reality, she felt giddy, like a child who had just gotten a lollipop. She just didn't want to admit it. After 20 minutes, they got a cab and went to a famous shopping mall near the city. The mall was bustling with people, mostly young couples or groups of friends. They all looked happy.Summer and James walked on the tiled floor. All they could see were clothing stores filled with arrays after arrays of luxurious and beautiful products. As soon as Summer entered the store, she started picking out clothes and comparing them against each other. If she liked it, she would put it aside. She tried on more than ten pieces in one go.James, on the other hand, simply stood

"The dress looks good," said James."Really? Oh well, then it looks good," said Summer. She was already getting annoyed. She turned around and went back into the fitting room to try on other clothes. From then on, she didn't ask for James's opinion anymore. Since he didn't give any input, asking him for an opinion was pointless.She tried over ten pieces of clothing, and they all felt great on her. This store was famous for its luxurious clothes. Their clothes had unique and tasteful designs. It could be considered a high-end international brand. With the help of the sales assistant, Summer decided on two pieces of clothing and went to the counter.James came over and asked, "Why did you only take two?""Why do I have to buy so many? I can't wear them all anyway," said Summer. Actually, it was a lie to say that she couldn't wear so many clothes. Which women would complain about having too many clothes? If there were really too many, she could just get rid of some. The mai
