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

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

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

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

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
