Chapter 241

Standing in high heels for so long had left Summer a little exhausted. She decided to sit on the toilet lid in the restroom before she pulled out her phone to check on After School's progress.Everything was progressing as expected.She exited the backend system and was about to ask Robin about the company when she got a message from Robin himself. "Royal Financial Group's shareholders meeting has decided to suspend the removal vote. Things have calmed down on our end, too."Summer pursed her lips and replied, "Do you know why they suspended it? Did Mason come back?"Robin replied, "No, it seems like Mason's brother showed up at the last moment. I don't know what he did, but the news said if Mason still doesn't appear by tomorrow, the board will elect an interim CEO to manage the company to protect their interests."Summer lowered her gaze and sneered.Royal Financial Group was a massive conglomerate, and Mason had a very good professional management team that helped him run th

Summer recognized the other woman. She was an established actress named Anne Claude. Earlier, she had come to greet Kristen as well.The woman in the red dress, Martha Jones, didn't recognize Summer, but Summer recognized her immediately. After all, they had just met. "Stop talking." Anne tugged at Martha.Summer didn't say anything as she walked toward the door."What are you doing?" Martha felt like Summer was being very rude by ignoring her like that. She immediately started to get angry, but Anne pulled her back again."She's Kristen's daughter," Anne whispered."Oh, the useless one?" Martha scoffed. She had always paid attention to anything involving Kristen and had never missed out on any gossip about Summer.But what she knew of Summer was already outdated. Martha still thought that Summer was stuck in that phase when she was bullied.The word useless had barely left her mouth when Summer reached the door and suddenly shut it behind her and even locked it.Both Martha

Anne was panicking desperately at that moment. She was filled with regret as well. If she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have followed the loudmouth Martha to the restroom.At that moment, Martha slowly climbed back up and groaned. "Wow, Ms. Hartford, how impressive of you! You even dare to hit people now?""Are you trying to frame me?" Summer laughed coldly."Give me the phone!" At that moment, Anne took advantage of Summer being distracted and swiped Summer's phone away. Then, she quickly deleted the recording.Martha got even more arrogant when she saw that. "You pushed me down just now. So, this isn't over!"Summer did not seem to care at all. She glanced at Anne. "Done deleting it?"Anne's heart seemed to stop for a second when she saw how calm Summer was. She decided to just make sure everything was gone by throwing Summer's phone straight into the water.Summer watched her phone sink into the water and had only one thought in mind. She was thankful she didn't b

"Kristen, people saw it happen. Ms. Jones was beaten up quite badly," that person said in a low voice.Kristen said nothing else as she quickened her pace. As she approached the crowd, she heard a lot of voices criticizing Summer."It was just a phone. Did she really have to go so far?""I can't believe how arrogant a wealthy heiress can be!"Kristen's expression darkened. "What's going on here? What's all this fuss about?"When the crowd heard Kristen's voice, they immediately turned around."Kristen!" Before anyone could say anything, Martha sprawled on the ground and started to wail loudly. "Kristen, please save me. Ms. Hartford is trying to kill me!"Kristen walked over and looked at Martha before she looked at Summer. "What happened?"Summer looked at Kristen and said, "I just happened to be using the restroom when I overheard her and Ms. Claude gossiping outside. I was afraid they'd deny it, so I recorded it on my phone. "When I walked out to confront them, this woman t

The crowd was utterly confused."I don't care. You still hit me in the end! Just look at my knees…" Martha sobbed as she showed her swollen knees.She had probably really hurt herself when she fell just now."Are you sure I pushed you? Didn't you fall down yourself when you tried to snatch my phone away?" Summer asked seriously.Anne's face was utterly pale at that moment. She could vaguely feel that Summer was about to turn the tables on them."It was you! You pushed me!" Martha shrieked.Summer shook her head and smiled as she pointed at the doorway. "Good thing this hotel is high-tech. You probably don't know, but while there aren't any cameras in the restroom, there's one outside. It's usually off, but the emergency system activates it whenever the room is locked from the inside.""Is that really true?" Neil looked at a hotel staff member."It's as Ms. Hartford said," the staff member confirmed."I remember you trying to snatch away my phone and slipping. You ended up hitt

Anne almost went out of breath from crying. She deeply regretted everything. If she hadn't tried to snatch Summer's phone and thrown it into the water just now, things wouldn't have been so bad for her. Now, it seemed like she was done for."Leave a person behind to deal with this mess." Kristen's face was full of disgust. After that, she took Summer's hand and walked away without sparing a single glance at Martha and Anne, who were still pleading to her.In the crowd was a flamboyantly dressed man. That man was Terrence. He had just been dining in a private room and happened to stumble into the commotion when he was going to use the restroom.Kristen led Summer past him. When they brushed past each other, he suddenly asked, "X?"After that, his gaze was fixed on Summer.Yet, Summer didn't react at all as she kept her head down and talked to Kristen.Terrence frowned as he watched the two of them disappear. He took out his phone. That blurry picture he had of Summer was his wal

Summer lowered her head, but she could tell that Terrence's gaze never left her. She knew very well he had his eyes on her, regardless of whether or not he knew she was X.What was supposed to be a pleasant banquet ended up an unhappy one thanks to those two earlier. But if there was any good news from tonight, it was that Kristen had decided to make a comeback.Summer heard about what became of those two troublemakers later on. Hartford Group's legal team went after Martha relentlessly for slander.As for Anne, the entire cast had already been set, and they were about to start filming in the next few days. Anne's role was quite significant, so in consideration for the production, Kristen didn't replace Anne.But Anne became increasingly paranoid, afraid that Kristen was out to get her. She kept on making mistakes during the script reading, which frustrated the director to no end. In the end, they scrapped her role entirely.But all of that happened later on.The night was peacef

"That's good," Summer replied.The conversation between the two of them remained dry. Neither of them mentioned Xena.Summer suddenly regretted it. Maybe she should have had a proper talk about it with Mason yesterday. She could have just asked Mason if she was a replacement.But no amount of frustration could change the past.The van stopped in front of their home. When they got back, Summer could clearly feel that something was wrong."What happened?" she asked Phoebe.Phoebe stammered and seemed like she was afraid to speak."Tell me!" Summer's tone was stern."Mr. Hartford Senior got injured. There's a big gash right under his eyebrow," Phoebe finally blurted out nervously."What?" Summer was shocked. She didn't even take off her shoes as she ran to Henry's room."So you're back," Luke greeted Summer in the living room."Dad, what happened to Grandpa?" Summer asked"He's sleeping. It's been a long day. You should go wash up and get some rest, too," Luke replied."I kno

Henry sighed. "I might hate Mason, but I do hope that little wolf cub will come back alive tomorrow.""Why?" Summer asked in confusion."At least he's openly ruthless, unlike those scheming rats!" Henry shook his head."Grandpa, your words are as good as gold. If you say he's alive, then he'll definitely be!" Summer said earnestly."I just hope so." Henry's wound was still throbbing painfully.Summer's heart ached just looking at him. She clenched her teeth and decided she would definitely find out the mastermind behind all this tomorrow.Summer stayed by Henry's side until he fell asleep. By the time she went back to the living room, Kristen and Luke had already gone back to their room.She poured herself a glass of water. Glancing into the courtyard, she happened to catch sight of Robin standing in the yard.Summer put down her glass and walked over.Robin lowered his head when he saw her."Mr. Cohen, are you punishing yourself by standing here?" Summer asked.With Robin's

"Does he have a job?" Summer asked.Summer looked at the information on Terrence online and didn't find anything useful."If being a playboy counts as a job," Robin answered. That meant that Terrence didn't have a job."Oh." Summer fell deep in thought.The name X might already be known in the hacker circles, but X was just another letter in the alphabet for ordinary folks. So, why had Terrence called out X when she walked by?"Ms. Hartford?" Robin's voice pulled her out of her thoughts."Yes?" Summer looked at him.Robin wasn't interested in some random playboy at all. "How do you plan on catching the person who secretly harmed Mr. Hartford Senior tomorrow?""Just give me some men. Focus on staying by Grandpa's side tomorrow and protecting him. There'll be a bloodbath in Royal Financial Group tomorrow, and things in our company won't be much better," Summer said."I understand," Robin answered."You should stop punishing yourself. Get some rest and save up your energy." Summ
