All Chapters of The President's Darling: Chapter 271 - Chapter 280

Summer uneasily approached Susanne. Susanne was awake and staring at Summer. "Summer, didn't you come here to visit me? Why are you staring at James?"Summer blushed and shook her head. "I'm not doing that. I came here to visit you. But…" She realized that Susanne's condition had improved tremendously. The latter looked healthy and could breathe and speak normally.After studying Susanne, Summer said, "You look fine now.""I'm fine. But I can't walk properly. The doctor says that the snake venom numbed my nerves. If I want to recover completely, I'll have to stay in the hospital for a few more days." She complained, "These doctors are so annoying. Don't they know that I'm an active person? Why are they restricting my freedom?"Herbert reminded her, "Susanne, you have to rest well.""I know, Dad." Then, Susanne suddenly smiled mysteriously at Summer. That familiar smile looked as if she were plotting something. Summer wondered if Susanne was trying to harm her again.Befor

Susanne continued, "Summer, you have been swept up in the Quigleys' conflict. Howe views you as his enemy now.""Why?" Summer was confused. She hadn't done anything to Howe. "Because he wants to be the heir! It seems that you don't know this Quigley family rule. "Right now, James is the heir; he's not the head of the family. To become the head of the family, you must have a child first."Summer finally came to a realization. Was there a fight to become the heir of the Quigley family?Howe wanted James' position for himself. Therefore, he had come up with a plan to prevent James from becoming the head of the family by chasing Summer out of the family. One had to have a family first before they could become the head of the family. Since Summer was James' wife, she would have a child soon. As such, Howe came up with a plan to stop that from happening. Susanne saw that Summer had finally realized what was going on. "Howe looks idle, but he's very ambitious. He's always been

"Don't worry. I'm sure we can celebrate next time." Susanne was friendly and warm as she smiled sweetly. She was now genuinely gentle toward Summer compared to the past.She also joked and said, "Summer, you better not cry in a corner once I'm gone. I'll be back in a couple of months. We can have fun then.""Okay. I'll be waiting. Take care of yourself once you get there.""Of course I will. Otherwise, I won't be well enough to come back and meet you."Caroline and Herbert were surprised at Susanne and Summer's conversation. They had never expected the two to get along so well with each other, but they were glad that their relationship had improved.After all, Summer and Susanne represented the Quigley and Yancey families. The stronger their relationship became, the stronger the ties between the two families would be.But not everyone was happy to see them like this. Hiding behind the door, Howe gritted his teeth in spite when he saw how close Susanne and Summer were.He wanted

Summer, Eleanor, and Lexi walked along the bustling street downtown and visited luxury stores for clothing and bags. Eleanor definitely came from one of the four major prestigious families. She was generous with her money, and she bought many branded items without hesitation.Summer couldn't bear splurging, even though James had given her money. One branded item was basically three months' worth of her old salary. It was just too much.But something good came out of shopping with Eleanor. Summer would help her pick items, and Eleanor would ask if Summer needed anything. If Summer chose something suitable, Eleanor would generously give it to her as a gift.Summer gladly accepted the gifts. Although she couldn't bear to buy them, it was different if they were gifted to her. These things cost very little to rich people like Eleanor. Why wouldn't Summer accept them?They bought plenty of items and went their separate ways before 10:00 pm.As Summer headed back home, she held two

It was quiet in the master bedroom. The stars were especially bright that night. Summer fell into a daze as she stood on the bright tiles."What's wrong?" James asked, "Did you not meet Eleanor today?""Yes, I met her. But how did you know?""Because she told me," James replied without looking at Summer. He was working and sat on his office chair with his back toward her.Summer felt ominous. Her sixth sense was telling her that James might be hiding something from her. Maybe she had become more alert because of everything she had gone through recently. She slowly went up to James.James also turned around to face her. His sharp, dark eyes met her gaze."What? Is there anything going on?" he asked. He sat upright, and the expression on his handsome face remained the same. It didn't seem like he was hiding anything.Looking at him, Summer started to question if it was all in her head. Anyone could be plotting against her in the Quigley residence, but not James.She shook her h
