"No, don't!" Summer quickly stopped them.Kristen immediately laughed at that. "I thought you didn't know who the flowers were from?"Summer was speechless."It's such a huge bouquet. You're definitely going to get in trouble if your grandpa and your dad see it." Kristen gently poked Summer on the forehead.Summer felt her heart stop for a moment.Luke wasn't a big deal. He rarely ever nagged Summer. But Henry was another matter entirely. There was no way he would accept the idea that Summer might be dating. He'd definitely make a scene and insist on beating up whatever little punk was trying to steal Summer away."Mom, help me." Summer pouted, looking like he was about to cry."There's no way you can keep all of them. Pick some to take to your room and let Phoebe handle the rest. So, tell me. Who's this young man you're secretly dating?" Kristen asked helplessly."I'm not dating anyone," Summer muttered.Mason was definitely not someone she could call a young man."So, you

After all, Mason had been resting at home the past few days.Who knew what happened at Royal Financial Group that day?"Are you still at the company?" Summer asked."I am," Mason replied."You don't need to hide anymore. If there's nothing too major at the company, you should go to the hospital and get your wounds looked at. I'm not an expert, so I might not have done a very good job," Summer said seriously."No one could do a better job than you," Mason said.Summer smiled. "Fine. Mr. Hunt's word is final.""Where's your mother filming?" Mason asked.Summer answered, "A holiday estate in the outskirts of the city. We'll probably head over in the evening.""I'll sneak over, and you can sneak out. Then, we can have a secret rendezvous. How about that?" Mason said in a lower tone. Summer found it incredibly adorable. She was about to say yes, but she suddenly thought of the barrier between them that they had yet to cross.Her tone sounded slightly colder. "Maybe another time.

At around the same time, Chandler was still bedridden after being injured by Mason.At first, no one told him about what happened to his parents. However, Chandler had been waiting for news of his parents defeating Mason and reclaiming Royal Financial Group for a long time. It was already almost nighttime, but his parents were not back yet.They weren't even answering their phones.The household staff were all acting strangely as well. They seemed to all be avoiding him.The more Chandler thought about it, the more it seemed like something was wrong. He struggled and got on his wheelchair before he quietly left his room."I told you so many times that we need to be patient when dealing with Mason. Why didn't you listen? Look at what happened now! Aspen and Rosanna are under investigation. The ones handling the case are all Mason's men, who won't listen to anyone else!" Chandler heard.He had just made his way out, only to be greeted with his grandfather Arthur Moon's voice.Chan

Summer then took out her laptop and continued working on Escape From the Asylum's script.Before too long, Summer's phone rang. She took a look and saw that it was Lionel.Summer answered the call and asked, "What's wrong?""I just forwarded you something that a buddy of mine sent me earlier. Power Construction apparently set up an Internet division last year, and they're about to release a new mini-game. "It's quite the coincidence. It seems very similar to the project model you planned to assign to new hires," Lionel said.Summer opened her laptop and looked at the short video Lionel sent her.The game wasn't even in development yet. There was just a simple animated teaser."Power Construction, you say?" Summer asked."Yes," Lionel answered. "My buddy was originally supposed to lead a project there, but some higher-up forced in a connection hire. The connection hire was the one who brought the game in. It might just be a mini-game, but like we said before, the concept and ga

At that moment, her phone rang again. Ever since After School launched, she had been getting calls much more frequently than before.She walked to the living room and picked up her phone from the couch. The caller ID read Puppy.Summer's heartbeat started to quicken. That subconscious reaction caused her to feel a bit helpless."Hello," she answered."Come to the beach," Mason said, his voice accompanied by the sound of waves."You're here?" Summer was caught off guard."I brought the company staff here for a vacation," Mason said indignantly."The mighty Royal Financial Group brought its employees to a seaside resort for a vacation?" Summer found Mason both exasperating and endearing.Mason answered, "Yes, so hurry up and come out."Summer didn't know what to do with Mason. She put on a jacket and walked toward the beach.It was supposed to be peak travel season, but the whole hotel had been booked out by the production crew to facilitate filming.So, the place was empty

The sea breeze that night seemed particularly warm. Mason and Summer held hands as they strolled along the shoreline.In the shadows, Kyle and the others, who were following Mason, sat in a beach buggy. They had complicated expressions on their faces as they watched Mason walking ahead with Summer."So, Mr. Hunt is serious about this?"Kyle took a drag from his cigarette as he said with worry and some melancholy, "Since when has Mr. Hunt not been serious about anything?"The others nodded silently."But doesn't Mr. Hartford Senior hate Mr. Hunt? I still remember that old man storming off after being seated at the same table as Mr. Hunt at some banquet a few years ago," someone else said.Kyle sighed. "Exactly. What's Mr. Hunt thinking? Of all the people he could choose, he chose the pearl of the Harford family. The road to him getting a wife won't just be this young lady. The ones behind her are the real nightmare."The bodyguards chimed in one after another.Very quickly, they

Mason glanced in that direction and murmured, "It's probably just a rat.""There are rats by the sea?" Summer was actually terrified of rats.Back at that filthy asylum, she had been bitten on her hands and feet by rats.When Mason saw how scared she looked, he immediately changed his tune. "Why would there be rats at the beach? I was just making it up. Let's go."Summer thought he was playing a prank on her."Mason, are you a child? Why would you make such a childish joke?" Summer said in exasperation.Mason smiled and asked, "Are you afraid of rats?""Yes." Summer nodded.Mason was silent for a moment. "You weren't afraid of them when you were young.""Did I tell you that?" Summer asked.Mason was silent for another moment before he said, "That day, a rat tried to run inside to take shelter from the rain. I was about to chase it away, but you stopped me. You said you weren't afraid and let it come in to hide from the rain."Summer was speechless. Was she really that naive

Mason couldn't have been happier."I really did bring my employees here on vacation. I even scheduled a diving trip for them tomorrow, so I'll be staying another day," he said warmly.Summer was naturally happy that she could spend more time with Mason.Summer nodded. "Alright, then. I'll see how things go and call you tomorrow.""Okay." Mason nodded."Then, I'll take my leave. Good night." Summer waved before she turned around and headed to the hotel.But she had just taken a step forward when someone suddenly grabbed her wrist. Then, she was pulled back with some force as a big palm cupped her face. Then, a kiss that was deeper than on the beach landed on her lips.Summer immediately froze.The area was particularly bright, and people could walk by at any moment. If anyone did, they would likely be Kristen's staff.Thankfully, the kiss had been deep but brief.Mason quickly let go of her. His beautiful eyes seemed to be filled with a thousand emotions as he said in a soft a

Chapter 279

There were many actors staying in the hotel. It was quite normal for actors to cover themselves up like that to avoid being noticed by fans or paparazzi.However, as Summer brushed past the man, she smelled the scent of kerosene on him.It was a smell that she had encountered countless times in the asylum. In fact, she had died in that very smell, so she was incredibly sensitive to it."Wait a moment." Summer stopped and looked at the man.The man stood inside the elevator and asked impatiently, "What do you want? I'm busy.""This floor is reserved for the main cast. Who are you?" Summer blocked the elevator door and maintained her politeness, but her gaze was incredibly sharp."That's none of your business. Now move!" The man suddenly turned aggressive.Summer studied the man.He seemed absolutely murderous, and the eyes that peeked out from under his cap were filled with malice.She had no bodyguards with her at that moment, and there was no way Emma could fight. So, they co

Chapter 280

The manager quickly switched the surveillance feed to Elevator 3 and rewound the footage to ten minutes ago as Summer instructed.The video played until it showed her and Emma inside the elevator.Soon, the moment when Summer stopped the man played on screen.After their brief exchange, the elevator doors closed. The man seemed visibly agitated inside the elevator.When the elevator arrived on the first floor, he didn't go out. Instead, he pressed the button for Kristen's floor and headed straight back up.Even more terrifying was the fact that he reached into his pocket and pulled out a glinting knife as he walked out of the elevator."This man isn't from our hotel. Is he a part of your production crew?" The manager was shocked to see the dagger.Summer's expression turned cold.From the moment she noticed the man to when she checked the surveillance footage now, she had been very quick. Everything had happened in the span of less than ten minutes.She switched the elevator s
