All Chapters of The President's Darling: Chapter 871 - Chapter 880

Some of the older guests held themselves in high regard and didn't want to join in on the discussion. Despite that, they were secretly listening in from a short distance away. Many of them were weighing in on the issue from an outsider's standpoint. In their opinion, the main household of the Quigley family was an embarrassment. How could they accept such a mediocre woman as a daughter-in-law?There were countless conflicts within the previous generation. For example, Norman Quigley overthrew his father and took his place as the head of the family after a huge amount of effort. Hence, the older relatives would seem respectful, but they would secretly pray for the main family's downfall.Caroline was talking to a group of women about jewelry when she overheard the commotion. After asking Luca about the situation, she discovered that Summer returned looking like a mess. She was furious. How could Summer possibly show up at such an important event looking like that? She had embarras

A young butler approached James respectfully and asked, "Mr. Quigley, Mr. Norman is wondering why you're still not dancing."James didn't respond and dismissed the butler with a wave. However, his cousins happened to overhear the conversation. Hayden was still trying to get in James' good graces. So, he leaned over with a smile and said, "I think you should just go and dance, James. "Aside from you, no one in our generation has the right to the first dance. If you don't get on that dance floor, no one will."Claire immediately rushed forward and grabbed onto James' finger. "He's right, James. Why don't you just partner up with me for the first dance?"Once she popped her question, the other girls started quarreling with each other."No way. If he does plan on dancing, he should do it with me."Soon, the venue became rowdy once again.Typically, the most important man of the family would be tasked with leading the first dance. Thus, it was a huge privilege to be chosen as the

More and more people made their way onto the once-empty dance floor. The party felt like it had reached its peak. The waltz concluded after half an hour. Summer and James danced for about ten minutes before they excused themselves. Now, they were by a pillar in the main hall. James took off his jacket and draped it over Summer's shoulders. "Your outfit isn't exactly the warmest—you should be careful not to catch a cold.""Thank you." The latter shot him a light smile. Then, she leaned toward him and asked enthusiastically, "So, how did I do? I did a pretty good job at dancing, didn't I?""Yes, you did. You managed to pull it off in the end.""Of course I did—I'm the one and only Summer Charter, after all." Now that she thought about it, she couldn't believe it herself either. She didn't think she danced exceptionally well, but Susanne proceeded to shower her with compliments as soon as she got off the platform. On top of that, everyone was looking at her with admiration as we

Caroline stormed over with Suzanne and a group of butlers in tow. At the sight of Caroline, all of James' cousins swiftly greeted her respectfully."Hello, Aunt Caroline…""Please excuse us, kids. I need to talk to James and Summer." Since there were other people present, Caroline suppressed her anger. Instead, she put on a smile and spoke to them kindly. Immediately after they left, her expression switched, and her face turned dark."Summer Charter!" She yelled at Summer.Her voice was extremely loud. Taken by surprise, Summer almost lost her footing. If it weren't for James' hold on her, she would've slumped to the ground.Now, trying to stabilize herself, she asked timidly, "Is something wrong, Caroline?""What do you think? You've made quite a few mistakes tonight." What did Summer do? First of all, she arrived at the Christmas party fashionably late. This was the worst thing she could've done. The Quigleys' Christmas party was an important event that happened annually.

If James wasn't involved, Summer couldn't care less about this matter. Caroline was his mother. He can't possibly avoid her forever. Hence, it'd be better if they were on good terms. Summer only chose to intervene as she didn't want James to be unhappy.So, she ignored Caroline and tugged on James' sleeve before continuing. "Let's not argue any further. Your mother is right. Besides, this isn't the first time she's disciplined me.""But Summie…" James lowered his head and stared at her. He was at a loss for words.By the looks of it, Summer was willing to accept her punishment. However, she was his wife. How could he just stand idly by and watch as she was unreasonably mistreated?"All you did was arrive a bit later—that's hardly a cause for concern. You don't need to be punished at all," he said.Then, he turned toward his mother and continued with a serious look, "You're too harsh on Summie, Mom. You're clearly picking on her."Caroline was indeed picking on her. How else was
