"Yes!" Summer nodded."I heard from Lionel that your ultimate goal is to collaborate with Hartford Group?" Saul asked."That's right," Summer answered."Why Hartford Group? From what I know, they don't have much experience in the field. Compared to them, Royal Financial Group might be a better choice," Saul said.Summer smiled. "I have my reasons, but it's not convenient for me to tell you right now."He nodded and didn't press further. "Don't worry. I'll link up your company with Hartford Group as soon as possible.""When the time comes, I'll make sure to give you a generous commission," Summer replied."Good!" Saul smiled warmly.His words were gentle, and his smile was tender as well. Summer didn't feel any wariness or annoyance with him, unlike with Anthony and Chandler. Was that the difference between someone who was truly kind and someone who was pretending to be?After that, Summer and Saul finalized some details of the proposal. By the time they were done, it was alr

"Damn it!" Summer quickly retraced her steps in her mind. Her phone must have fallen out of her bag when she ran out of the car.At that moment, the driver regained his senses and started to chase after her while shouting.She had no choice but to hope she'd run into a pedestrian or a passing car that would stop and help her.Ever since she was reborn, she had been incredibly careful about everything. She never expected she would still fall for a trap today.But who was behind this?The driver realized he couldn't catch up on foot after running for a while. He ran back and drove after Summer instead.Seeing this, Summer ran right into a narrow alley where the car couldn't follow. She was quite unlucky. Even after running for over ten minutes, she hadn't bumped into a single person along the way.Thankfully, no one was chasing her anymore.As she panted, she spotted what looked like flashing police car lights not too far away. She almost cried in relief as she immediately tried

"Alright! Mr. Hunt is about to get started. Everyone, back off!" The man with the swollen eyes sneered before he motioned for Chandler's bodyguards to step aside.Summer refused to give up. The moment the guards dispersed, she fled toward the exit."Where do you think you're going?" Chandler yanked the rope around her wrists, causing her to slam onto the ground.Her arm hit the concrete hard, sending a wave of pain through her body. Summer suddenly felt her mind go blank with the pain.After that, she looked up to see Chandler unbuckling his belt. "You have two choices tonight. Either you get on your knees and beg for mercy, or I'll make sure you die here."After that, Chandler lunged at Summer.At that moment, an intense beam of light shone in.Chandler looked over.Against the harsh glare, a tall figure quickly walked over."Who the fuck are you?" Chandler snapped, feeling incredibly annoyed at the interruption.But as the figure stepped closer and became clearer, Chandler

"Wait for me in the car," Mason said in a low voice."What are you going to do?" Summer grabbed his hand.She could feel Mason's anger and was afraid he might lose control and kill Chandler."I'm going to cut off his hands!" he gritted out."Mason, I don't want your family conflict to escalate because of me. Otherwise, the ones who will suffer in the end will be me and Hartford Group," Summer said seriously.Mason's gaze instantly darkened."My hands hurt." She softened her tone.He frowned. A moment later, he reached over and buckled her seatbelt.As he passed her, Summer could feel Mason trembling, surprising her greatly. After all, Mason wasn't the type to lose his composure over something like this.Closing the door, Mason turned and walked toward the driver's side.At that moment, Chandler's men came rushing out, carrying Chandler who was already conscious."Mason!" Chandler screamed hoarsely.Mason stopped in his tracks as he looked at Chandler coldly."You'd go this

Mason thought for a moment before turning the car around and heading in a different direction."Where are we going? There's a pharmacy up ahead," Summer asked in confusion."Your apartment," he replied.Summer felt an urge to pull her hair out. Why had she been so stupid and brought Mason to her secret hideout on a whim last time? Now, he knew the way by heart.Her apartment wasn't far away. With the roads being clear at night, they arrived in about ten minutes.Mason opened the door and instinctively reached out to carry her.Summer hurriedly said, "My legs aren't weak anymore."He gave a small nod before stepping back.After she got out, Mason went to the trunk and pulled out a large case."What's that?" Summer asked cautiously."A medical kit," Mason answered."That big?" Summer's eyes widened.Most people's first-aid kits were just small square boxes, but Mason's looked more like a 24-inch suitcase."Upstairs." Mason was really angry that night.Even when he was upset

So, could Summer really blame Mason? Could she blame him for saving her that night? Wouldn't that just be ungrateful?"I'll be more careful myself." Summer let out a sigh.She had been too careless tonight. If she had known, she'd just have asked Saul to drop her off near her school."You haven't answered me. Why were you out so late?" Mason pressed."Don't pry into my business. Did I ask you about why you were trapped at home?" Summer shot back without thinking.Probably because of what happened in her past life, she naturally felt safer when she was around Mason. She tended to let her guard down around him.Mason didn't even lift his head. After finishing with her wrist, he carefully applied medicine before wrapping it gently in soft gauze.He said, "Royal Financial Group started off as a luxury brand. After I took over, I expanded into other industries. Now, my uncles want to separate the original business from the rest, leaving me with only the newer ventures.""My grandpa

"It's not related." Summer shook her head.Mason stared at her. "It looks like it is. Laugh all you want. There's no need to hold it in.""Anyway, my grandpa can't find out about this injury." Summer swallowed her laughter and put on a serious face.Mason continued to look at her. The smile had faded from his face, but Summer's eyes were still bright with amusement. It greatly soothed the anger, fear, and anxiety that Mason had been feeling since he found her.He finally looked away and put the medical supplies back into the box. "I understand. Come over after school every day. I'll change your dressing."Summer shook her head. "There's no need to trouble yourself so much. It's just some scraped skin. I'll handle it myself. I'm not planning on wearing the bandages to school tomorrow. That's basically announcing to the whole world that I got hurt."Mason frowned. "That won't do.""If I say it's fine, then it's fine," Summer said firmly."If you don't behave, I might have to ask

Mason lowered his gaze. "There was no particular reason. Haven't you heard that my hobby is acquiring companies?"Summer was speechless."Is Mr. Hartford Senior still mad at me?" Mason asked.Summer noded without hesitation. "Yep! We aren't even allowed to mention your name at home. He won't say it, either. He just called you 'that little wolf cub.'"Mason chuckled. "'Wolf cub'? That sounds quite adorable."Summer did not get Mason's sense of humor.But now that he said it, why did it suddenly sound kind of cute?Mason continued, "I did mess up that time. Once the situation with Royal Financial Group settles down, I'll personally apologize to him."Mason looked incredibly serious as he said that.He was so serious that Summer even started feeling a little guilty. For a second there, she was worried he would confess to her.But he didn't."I'm going to bed. You should head back. I'm not scared." Summer got up."Alright. Go ahead." Mason nodded.Without another word, Summer

The driver, Edwin Moore, dropped Summer off on a small road near the school.He handed her a business card and said, "Miss, this is my number. Mr. Hunt said that you can call me at any time if you ever find it inconvenient to call your family's driver. I'll be there right away."Summer hesitated for a moment before she took the card. "Thank you."Nearby, street vendors were already busy selling breakfast, and steam was rising into the crisp morning air.Summer had planned to slip back into school through the side gate. But she glanced at the bustling scene.She had never bought breakfast from a place like this in her past life. Looking at the busy people and the white mist surrounding them, she felt a sense of peace. Even in her past life, that feeling was a rare one.She walked to a stall and bought two breakfast wraps before she walked toward the school.The moment she reached the building, she saw Robin frantically searching for her.He hurried over. "Ms. Hartford, where did

Lindsey looked at Summer with admiration. "Summer, sometimes, I really wonder if you're a machine. By the way, you weren't here last night. The principal said he found a teaching assistant to cover for him when he's not around. I heard this assistant is amazing."Harold had been swamped with problems lately. The whole Chandler situation was enough to keep him in hot water with Mason, making it impossible for him to teach their class as usual. Solving that difficult problem had taken some time.By now, most of the students had arrived."He's here! He's here!"There was a commotion among the students in the front row.Summer instinctively looked up. She saw Harold walk in with a tall and slender man behind him.When she saw that nerdy man, her expression darkened.She wasn't the only one with a dramatic change in expression, for Rose's expression changed, too.Harold announced, "Class, let me introduce someone to you. This is your senior, Anthony Lawson. I probably don't need to
