Summer smirked and playfully pushed Lexi down onto the bed to sit beside her. Lexi felt a bit embarrassed under Summer's intense gaze. She understood the implication behind Summer's question. Flynn had only begun teaching Summer this afternoon, and now Summer was probing if Lexi had been keeping something from her. It was evident what Summer was alluding to. "Mrs. Quigley, you've figured it out, haven't you?" Lexi lowered her head, feeling somewhat bashful. It was quite rare for her to behave this way. Lexi's personality was somewhat like Summer's—outgoing, bold, and not easily prone to shyness. However, when it came to matters of the heart, she found herself occasionally blushing. With one arm around Lexi's shoulder, Summer chuckled, "Don't be shy. I already know everything I need to. But Lexi, you're quite mischievous for keeping it from me for so long." "Mrs. Quigley, I haven't concealed anything from you," Lexi protested. "Don't play innocent with me. You've been by m

Summer gently patted Lexi's shoulder, offering reassurance as she spoke, "Lexi, you should be content. "Flynn is actually quite a decent man. I find myself getting along with him far better than with James." "Is that so, Mrs. Quigley? Thank you for your kind words," Lexi responded, feeling a swell of happiness at Summer's praise. It wasn't often that someone commended her boyfriend in her presence, especially someone like Summer. Thus, Lexi felt a deep sense of honor. Upon hearing Lexi's gratitude, Summer realized that she ought to be the one expressing thanks. After all, it was at Lexi's request that Flynn had taken the time to teach her. Had it not been for Lexi's specific request, Flynn might not have invested as much effort into teaching her. "Lexi, I must express my gratitude to you. I'm aware that you requested Flynn's assistance on my behalf, so I genuinely want to thank you," Summer remarked. "Mrs. Quigley, please, it's nothing," replied Lexi, her cheeks flushing

Seated comfortably on the blue couch in the wine cellar, Howe lounged with one leg crossed over the other, leisurely sipping on some white wine. He swirled the glass with ease, exuding an air of calm and composure. When Summer spotted Howe, she felt like she'd seen a ghost. How on earth did he end up here of all places? On the other hand, Howe noticed Summer and approached her with boundless joy. "Summer, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you." "Waiting for me? Why are you here?" "I'm here to learn. Starting today, I'll be studying alongside you." Summer's expression twisted in dismay as her heart sank. She couldn't comprehend how she'd ended up in such a situation. She was acutely aware of Howe's ulterior motives. He held intentions to sabotage her relationship with James. His main goal had been to hinder James' rise to the head of the Quigley family. When Summer confronted Howe, she found herself unable to muster any semblance of a pleasant expression. Her

Flynn remained composed, his expression unreadable for a moment. Then, he walked around the table and selected a glass of red wine from within. "This champagne wine bore a subtle fragrance, with typical ingredients such as roses and vanilla. It had been aged for over a century, making it the most expensive wine among them all, valued at around 500,000 dollars." The revelation made it evident that both Summer and Howe had guessed incorrectly. Nevertheless, Flynn remarked, "Mr. Howe's guess was the closest. You opted for a rare wine aged for 30 years, priced at around 10,000 dollars." He then addressed Summer with a hint of disappointment. "As for Mrs. Quigley, you selected a white wine priced at 1,000 dollars. "It possesses a slightly spicy texture and a refreshing taste, but it falls short of being the most expensive among these ten wines." In reality, Summer realized she had made the wrong choice. As she progressed through the various wines, she discovered that the tas

After grasping Flynn's wine theory, Summer became much more accurate in assessing the price of wine. Now, with just a sip, she could roughly estimate the wine's value. The wine class continued for seven days before coming to a close. Throughout these seven days, Summer indeed acquired a wealth of knowledge. The only drawback was having to study alongside Howe. Howe always managed to find ways to bother Summer, but fortunately, he didn't cause any major trouble during the classes. On the seventh day, as the classes concluded, Summer felt a sense of relief as she departed from the wine cellar. However, Howe, who had also been attending the classes, quickly caught up with her. "Summer, why are you walking so fast? Wait up for me!" Howe's voice called out, prompting Summer to quicken her pace even more. She attempted to evade Howe, but it appeared he was shameless enough to persistently follow her. "Do you really dislike me that much, Summer? Come on, we've been classmates

"What exactly did you do to my dad?" Summer asked. This time, Howe extended an invitation for horseback riding to both her and Fred. Summer's greatest concern was her family. While Howe could pose a threat to her, she couldn't bear the thought of him hurting her father. Consequently, she wore a serious expression, her eyes flashing with a cold gaze. Observing Summer's evident concern, Howe finally offered a reassuring smile. He knew that Summer's concern was exactly what he desired. Without her concern, his plan wouldn't unfold as intended. "Summer, rest assured. Mr. Charter is doing well. I haven't done anything," Howe assured her. "Why did you invite my dad then? Do you think I'll believe what you're saying? What exactly do you plan to do?" Summer demanded urgently, her voice laced with anger. Howe was never straightforward. He was as cunning as a snake, striking lethally when the opportunity presented itself. Naturally, Howe wouldn't divulge his true intentions. If

Summer rolled her eyes. Howe wasn't a good person. Instead, he was a vicious and ruthless man. He probably invited Fred for horseback riding to set her up this time. However, Summer wasn't an idiot. She wouldn't be fooled easily. Therefore, she said, "Dad, please promise me that you won't go horse riding, okay?"Fred asked, "Why?"Meanwhile, Summer didn't know how to reply. She couldn't say that Howe was a problematic person who kept trying to harm her, so she didn't want Fred to go. But if she said that, he would start fretting. Fred might also think that his daughter was being treated terribly by the Quigleys. She would rather give her parents happy news than cause them to worry. Fred and Amelia believed that Summer was living comfortably with the Quigleys. As such, Summer didn't want them to know too much about her situation. She didn't want to let her parents know that Caroline kept making things difficult for her and that Howe kept trying to ruin her relationship with Jam

Summer asked, "A business project?""Yes. Charter Corporation has been developing a few apartments recently. Howe told me that he could invest in us on behalf of Quigley Group. So, he wants to discuss this business project with me while riding horses."After hearing that, Summer realized why her father wanted to ride horses with Howe. His main purpose wasn't to go horse riding. Rather, it was to discuss a business project!As expected, Howe was very heartless. He pretended to invest in Charter Corporation on behalf of Quigley Group because he wanted to bait Fred. Though he had an excellent scheme, Summer had a plan to defeat him. Since she knew why her father wanted to go horse riding with Howe, she came up with a solution. "Dad, I know that Quigley Group wants to increase their investment in Charter Corporation too. Why don't I discuss this with Howe instead?"Meanwhile, Fred asked curiously, "Will you be able to do it?""Dad, have you forgotten that I'm Charter Corporation's

Lexi thought that Flynn didn't teach Summer properly, so she was enraged. However, the truth was that this had nothing to do with him. Summer was just worried about Howe's schemes instead. As such, Summer told Lexi everything. When the latter heard what had happened, she became concerned. "Mrs. Quigley, is Mr. Howe causing trouble for you?""Yes. Previously, Susanne had already warned me about him. Howe wants to be the next heir, so he keeps trying to pull James down. Moreover, the simplest way to prevent James from becoming the head of the family is to ruin his relationship with me."When Lexi realized how severe the matter was, she held Summer's hand and asked, "Does Mr. James know about this?""Most probably."Although James didn't address the issue directly, he kept reminding Summer to be careful of Howe. This meant that he knew what his brother was like. Lexi suggested, "Since Mr. James knows about it, shouldn't you tell him what happened today? He might be able to help yo

James noticed the worry on Summer's face, so he said, "Stop overthinking."Summer retorted, "I'm not overthinking. Anyway, don't you know the kind of person Howe is, James? Why are you so relaxed about this?"Seeking clarification, Summer couldn't help but voice her confusion. James had warned her repeatedly to be cautious around Howe. Yet, he still allowed Howe to represent Quigley Group and collaborate with Charter Corporation. It seemed contradictory.James explained, "I don't fully trust my younger brother, but I recognize his intelligence. He can be an asset to Quigley Group."Despite Howe's seemingly carefree demeanor, he harbored ambitions to usurp James as the heir. In normal circumstances, James might have harbored resentment toward his brother. However, James was a rational individual who understood Howe's behavior as mere immaturity. Instead of harboring grudges, James chose to forgive his brother."My younger brother is indeed capable, but he's also prone to making m
