"That's coincidental," Mason raised an eyebrow.Summer was taken aback for a moment as she peeked her head out of the bathroom. Her eyes widened in shock as she looked at Mason. "Coincidence? Is today your birthday, too? Isn't it in November?"Mason looked up at her and smiled brightly. "You know my birthday?"Summer had to scramble for an excuse. "I heard my grandfather mention it.""I'm very happy that he cares about me so much." Mason nodded with a smile.Summer looked at him.She suddenly recalled what Henry said about Mason's birthday last year. "Just look at how long disasters last. That little wolf cub managed to survive one more year."Summer forced out a smile. "He really does care about you a lot."Mason knew very well what kind of care Henry had for him. But in a way, it was better than being ignored. A bad impression could slowly be reshaped.After a moment, Summer changed into her loungewear and sat in front of Mason. She rested her chin on one hand as she watched

Hartford Group wasn't a major player in the gaming field. It was only natural to partner with the biggest platforms if they wanted to maximize profits."I'm not considering anything else," Summer answered without any hesitation."I understand." Saul didn't try to convince her any further.In his eyes, Summer—the girl he liked—was far more intelligent than most people. He was never worried she didn't know what she was doing.After finishing up the first wave of work, Summer started to feel a sore pain in her neck. She stretched long and hard on the chair."How is it?" Mason asked from beside her.Summer turned and almost bumped heads with him.Normally, the two would have backed away in a situation like this. But this time, neither of them did.Their eyes met for a moment. Summer suddenly leaned forward and pressed her lips against Mason's.Mason's whole body visibly stiffened."What are you looking at?" Summer shouted at Mason in fake aggression when she snapped out of it. Sh

All of Summer's frustration and embarrassment vanished in that instant.Xena? She instinctively thought about Mason's dead fiancée from the rumors.Xena…Driven by some inexplicable impulse, Summer immediately went online to search up that name. A flood of information filled the screen. She skimmed through everything until she saw a brief biography.Xena Turner, a genius pianist.As Summer read the biography, she learned that Xena was a girl who showed an immense talent at the piano since she was just four years old. At seven years old, she already earned some fame internationally. But her life came to an end 12 years ago.The biography only stated that she died in a major accident. There were no more details about it.12 years ago... Could it be that she met Mason at the cemetery during Xena's funeral?Complicated emotions surged within Summer. After that, she looked up Xena some more, finding a photo this time.Xena looked like a very beautiful girl, and she had dimple

"You little brat! Can't you make some more noise when you walk? You almost scared me to death!" Henry said as he grabbed a cushion and threw it at Luke.Luke caught the cushion. "I've always been walking like this, but you weren't scared back then."Henry sat down. "I was playing a game. The story is just too scary!""Are you playing After School?" Luke walked over to take a look, only to see that Henry indeed was playing the game.Henry nodded. "When I got to the company, the younger ones in the secretary's office were talking about this new project from your department, so I downloaded it to take a look. "The design is quite good. Even an old-timer like me can play it easily, and it's quite entertaining as well.""I can't believe an unknown company that came to us voluntarily could make a game that's so interesting," Luke said.He looked at Henry. "And the company's marketing was all handled internally. When I looked into the team, it's the same marketing team that handled th

"Alright," Luke said. He knew how vile Rosanna was. He also knew no matter what the consequences were, Rosanna would probably go after Hartford Group after the shareholders' meeting. Sending Summer away would be better than having her stay to face the upcoming storm.After a moment, Henry cursed as he entered the next level, "Little bastard!"Luke had thought that Henry was cursing at the game.Yet, Henry added right after, "Aren't you supposed to be so capable? How did you manage to get killed by a bunch of fools? Useless!"Luke looked at the grumpy Henry and felt a bit helpless.Henry cursed at Mason constantly—so much so that he probably developed some attachments to Mason. It seemed like he didn't actually want Mason to die.…"I understand. I'll head home tomorrow," Summer agreed without another question."Let Robin know when you're going to be back. He can take you home," Kristen said.Summer said casually, "Okay. Mom, are you about to join a new production?"Kristen

"Yes." Mason nodded.Summer kept her head down. "I heard my family talk about it. It's all in the past now. You don't have to bring it up to me if you don't want to. We're still not at the stage where we need to deliberately share our pain."Mason was taken aback for a moment before he lowered his gaze as well. "I understand."After that, neither of them spoke.Summer carefully applied the medicine for Mason and wrapped up the bandages. "It's done now. I still have things to take care of, so I'll leave for now.""Alright. Then, tomorrow…" Mason said."I'll be leaving bright and early tomorrow. Mr. Cohen will come get me, so focus on getting some rest," she interrupted before he could finish.Mason sat on the couch and looked up at her.Summer avoided his gaze as she grabbed her things. After she muttered out a goodbye, she left Mason's room.When it came to her emotions, Summer had always been someone very careful. The moment she found out that Mason had a dead fiancée, an une

Robin let out a helpless sigh as he put the suitcase in the trunk.On the way back, Summer saw that Robin kept glancing at his phone and felt a little uneasy."Mr. Cohen, how has the company been lately? I heard from my mom that Royal Financial Group is about to have a change in management. With how I treated Mrs. Hunt last time, she might try to take revenge on Hartford Group," she said.Robin was silent for a moment. "You should just focus on your studies. Let the adults handle the matters at the company."Didn't that response basically confirm that something was wrong within the company?"Are the shareholders causing trouble?" Summer asked.Robin looked at her in surprise. "How did you know? This matter hasn't even blown up yet. I only found out about it not long ago.""With Hartford Group's expansion over the past three decades, we've brought in plenty of shareholders. It's hard for all of them to be fully aligned with our interests. If a few of the troublemakers work togeth

"She does look a bit thinner," Robin said.Summer thought there was no way she wouldn't be thinner. After all, she had to run around the whole day taking care of Mason."That's great. I was planning to follow Mom to her set anyway. All those celebrities are as thin as paper. I wouldn't want them to look down on me." Summer clung to Henry's arm.Henry shot her a warning look before he sighed. "Just you try! It's not like you're much better than paper. You love eating cake so much, but why can't you ever gain any weight? Those who didn't know might think that I'm starving you at home.""Speaking of food, I'm hungry, Grandpa." Summer hadn't eaten much the whole day, so she definitely was starving."You little piggy!" Henry's face was full of affection.Standing by the side, Robin looked on with a contented expression as well.Back then, he would always worry when Summer spent time with Henry. He would even occasionally blame Summer for failing to live up to the Hartford family name

Summer frowned slightly. So, she had been there."Phoebe said you were probably possessed, and she went to Springwood to ask around. She told us a few youngsters that had died in accidents had been buried there that day. She said you probably got possessed by one of their restless spirits and even called an exorcist," Henry said.He looked amused as he continued, "I don't know if it actually worked, but you got better the next day. After that, I stopped bringing you to cemeteries or funerals and even hospitals. We mostly just had the family doctor come to the house.""And I forgot all about it after that?" Summer asked."Who did we go to see at Springwood Cemetery? Or whose funeral were we attending?" She almost let it slip and asked about Xena."We went to see an old friend of mine," Henry replied with his face still lowered.He looked a lot sadder at the mention of that old friend.Summer couldn't bear to see Henry sad and immediately held his hand. "Next time you go, I can go

Henry looked at Summer with a dumbfounded expression. For a moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or not."Summer, I'm not asking you to go and hide," he tried convincing her.A moment of stubborn pride was one thing, but the possibility of danger was another."We can go see my grandaunt in the future. Mom's film is the most important thing right now. She's sacrificed over 20 years of her acting career for our family. It's about time she does something for herself." Summer remained firm.Luke had just happened to hear those words as he was walking downstairs. He froze on the spot.The two in the dining room didn't notice him at all.Henry said, "You little brat! When did you become so stubborn?""I got it from you," Summer answered."You!" Henry's eyes widened in frustration."Grandpa, I'm really sleepy now. We can talk about whatever you want to say when I wake up." Summer finished her milk and dashed off before Henry could respond.She was startled when she saw Luke. "
