James comforted her, saying, "I'll help you to find a solution.""Help me find a solution? What kind of useless solution can you think of?" Summer retorted."I'll talk to my mom," James offered."No!" Summer exclaimed vehemently. "It's better if you don't talk to her. I'm afraid that if you do, your mom will turn against me even more. I don't know what she might do to me then."Caroline was a devil with a devil fork and horns on her head. With the sharp fangs in her mouth, it was as if she could bite off Summer's neck. Summer had to act carefully against her devil mother-in-law. If she let James simply help her, she was worried that it would make Caroline even more furious.James also felt helpless. He wanted to help Summer, but problems between a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were too complicated. It seemed that even the outstanding president of Quigley Group didn't know how to resolve this problem.Summer noticed the concerned expression on James' face and felt somewhat

James couldn't help shaking his head. He remained silent. Perhaps, in his opinion, this was one of Summer's cute traits.The next day was yet another difficult day. By the time Summer woke up, James had already left early. He'd worked until 3:00 am or 4:00 am and left for work again at 7:00 am. Summer truly admired him. Why did it seem like he had boundless energy? She couldn't help but wonder if he was unconcerned about the toll it might take on his health.It wasn't that Summer was particularly concerned about James. It was just that he was her husband. As his wife, Summer felt that she wouldn't feel at ease if anything happened to him.So, she came out of the room, signaled to Lexi, and mentioned a few things."Lexi, can you help me to send something later?""Mrs. Quigley, what do you want to send?" Lexi asked confusedly. Even though she was Summer's bodyguard, Summer hadn't requested anything from her so far.Summer only had a simple request. She wanted to send a bowl of

James' gentle voice came through the phone. "Summie?""James, did you drink the soup?" Summer asked."Yeah, I did," James responded."Why did you drink it? I thought you didn't like soup?" Summer voiced her confusion. Based on her assumptions, there was no need for Susanne and Luca to lie to her. This meant that James shouldn't like soup. Yet his response was different from what they said. Therefore, Summer could only think of one explanation—James was lying and claiming to like the soup when he didn't.James remained calm and emotionless. At the moment Summer asked, he replied, "I don't hate soup."But Summer couldn't accept such an ambiguous answer. What did he mean he didn't hate soup? There should only be one definite answer. Either he liked it or not.Summer persisted. "James, if you don't like it, you don't have to force yourself to drink it. The others told me that you've never liked drinking soup since you were young, right?""Yes," James replied."Then, why did you

The bouquet was very beautiful. It appeared extraordinary from afar, but it revealed even more wonders up close.Summer felt regretful. How come all these individuals from prestigious families seemed capable of everything? Susanne, in front of her, was a prime example. It seemed that the news she had seen before had all been fake.The news always depicted the young generations from wealthy families as arrogant, incompetent, and lazy, and they often used their parents' wealth to cause trouble. However, after joining the Quigley family, Summer found that reality wasn't quite the case. For example, although James was a typical rich man's son, he not only worked diligently but also possessed remarkable abilities and intelligence.Even Susanne was the same. She was skilled in yoga, flower arrangement, dance, and more. These skills were likely just the tip of the iceberg. Who knew what other skills Susanne possessed?Seeing how outstanding these people were, Summer felt a bit pressur

However, Summer didn't argue. After suffering from Caroline's punishment last time, she was afraid. She respected Caroline much more now and dared not to act recklessly again. Summer thought that it was best to just endure it since she was going to bid farewell to this devil mom soon.Caroline didn't know what Summer was thinking. She glanced at her and said, "Forget it. I have no expectations of you. Just help this family by bearing a child. I will take you to the hospital in a few days to see if you're pregnant."The primary reason Caroline allowed Summer to marry James was because she hoped Summer could bear a child for the Quigleys. Therefore, it didn't matter if Summer couldn't match up with James' looks and wealth. The most important thing was that she had to be able to bear children.Upon hearing Caroline mention pregnancy, both Susanne and Summer were shocked and exclaimed in unison, "Pregnant?"The news was a bit devastating for both women. Susanne's goal was to brea
