Chapter 331

"Yeah, I already took care of it. Why are you losing your mind over it now?" Scully asked impatiently."Look at what I just sent you!" Lanie shrieked.There was some rustling on the other end, followed by an angry outburst. "You have a perfectly good life, so why are you trying to stir up trouble for no reason? Are you crazy?" After that, he hung up.Lanie was caught completely off guard. She knew Scully quite well. There was no way he would react like that if he saw the photo on the news. She quickly reopened the link. The news page had changed into the picture of a clown with nothing but a line of text. "Just a joke. Don't take it to heart.""What the hell is this?" Lanie was so terrified that she threw her phone aside and started slapping the seat, urging the driver to drive away.After Lanie left, she naturally became the new topic of gossip."Edited, she says. Please, I saw that picture two years ago. I just don't know why the media decided to bring it up again.""Doe

Chapter 332

A union between nobles was the only right path. Anything else would be a disgrace.That was the mindset of these wealthy women who were born into privilege.Gloria let out a sigh. "Luke is a hopeless romantic, so you wouldn't understand the hardships we've been through. Basically, you should really be careful about Summer's future. Don't let her suffer like that. She's the only precious jewel of the Hartford family.""I understand," Kristen replied.Gloria let out a sigh of relief.Terrence couldn't wait to show off the moment he clung to a higher branch. That foolish child shouldn't have made so much noise before he even had a firm standing. He was just like his ill-fated mother, never learning no matter how she was taught.With Kristen gone, the wealthy ladies quickly put their focus on Summer."Summer, your grades weren't always that great, right? How did you suddenly do so well this time? Be honest. Did your parents pull some strings for you?""Exactly! You got such a high

Everyone present was dumbfounded. Even Summer was caught off guard."You motherless bastard! I'll tear your filthy mouth apart!" The lady froze for a moment before she exploded in rage, lunging at Terrence.Terrence didn't back down at all as he stood up. He was tall, and the moment the lady got close, she was overwhelmed.Terrence smiled. "You're resorting to violence after just a word or two? Did it ever cross your mind that Summer might also get angry when you were talking about her?"The lady sneered. "What does it have to do with you? What? Are you interested in her? You should take a look at yourself first. A bastard child wanting to get the heiress of Hartford Group? Dream on!"For a split second, Terrence's expression faltered. But he quickly regained his composure.At that moment, Summer, who had remained silent the whole time, stood up.Everyone's gaze fell on her, including that lady's."Ladies, after entertaining you for a whole morning, I must admit that I'm gettin

Summer paused for a moment before looking at the daughter. "You'd better not bring her to places like this in the future. It's not suitable for her."She looked so innocent that she was probably well protected by her parents since she was young.Looking at her made Summer vaguely recall what she had been like at that age.The girl summoned up her courage and said, "Summer, shall we exchange contacts? I play… No, I have some study-related questions I'd like to ask you."Summer hesitated for a moment but still exchanged contacts."Let's hang out next time." The girl waved at Summer before leaving with her mother.Terrence appeared right as they left."You didn't need to do that just now. I could have handled it myself," Summer said.Terrence flashed a fox-like smile. "I just wanted you to owe me.""Sorry. I don't owe you anything for meddling in my business," Summer answered coldly.Terrence leaned against a pillar and tilted his head to look at her. "I just thought you were cu

As expected of the woman Terrence had his eyes on. Summer was brilliant.Just as Terrence was watching Summer, Gloria slapped his face out of anger. Blood dripped from the corner of his mouth."Does hitting me solve anything?" Terrence took a step forward.Gloria was a little shaken as she took a step back. "What are you trying to do?""Gloria, aren't you always hoping that your son will transform and rise up? You want him to prove himself to my father and take over the company, right?" Terrence sneered.He continued, "I've never cared about fighting over anything before, but you've just reminded me of something. An illegitimate child like me would never be worthy of a woman as amazing as Summer if I didn't fight my way to the top.""Terrence!" Gloria roared."It's a bit too early to get angry now. Let's wait and see." He brushed past her, lifting his hand to wipe the blood from his lips with his thumb.He had heard all sorts of cruel words growing up. Mongrel, bastard, and ill

Chapter 336

The games played among the elite could be seen as complex but simple as well. It all boiled down to whoever had more power and money, as well as intelligence.The wealthy women often kept each other in check, mainly because they were all equals. But Summer was different. She was the heiress of Hartford Group.As for the children of those wealthy women, it wasn't even a sure thing they could survive the brutal competition within their families. So, unless they were idiots, they wouldn't dare to offend her after they had all calmed down.Kristen looked at Summer in shock."Summer, where did you learn this?"Summer beamed at her. "Your daughter was a natural-born tycoon. No one had to teach me!""A natural… tycoon…" Kristen's expression froze, as if something had crossed her mind."Mom, what is it? Do you not like me acting this way?" Summer could tell that Kristen was acting odd.Kristen snapped back to reality. "It's nothing. Of course I'd want you to be stronger than anyone."

"How did you know I was coming?" After they kissed, Summer started toying with Mason's hair.Mason still held onto her tightly, unwilling to let go. "I felt it."Summer laughed and playfully smacked him. "What nonsense! I have some good news."Mason nodded. "Go ahead."Summer said, "The SAT results are out. I'm the top scorer of the region."Mason wasn't shocked at all."You already knew?" Summer pushed him away slightly.He pulled her back. "I saw the news. I couldn't think about anyone else who would top the rankings but you.""What a sweet talker." Summer traced his ear with her finger.Mason kissed her again. "Sweet enough?"Summer felt exasperated. "So, Mr. Hunt, since I did so well, where's my present?"He nodded. "You'll get one. I'll take you to see it in a few days.""Take me to see it? Did you buy a whole building?" she asked in surprise."I didn't, but I can if you want one," Mason answered."There's no need!" Summer waved it off dismissively. After that, she c

Chapter 338

The hype for After School had died down considerably. After all, there was a limited crowd that was interested in horror games, and the game had already reached record-breaking download numbers across all platforms.At that point, the game had entered a stable monetization period. So, work across the various teams had slowed down.Lionel posted in the group chat. "Hang in there for just half a month longer. After that, the company is treating us to a luxurious seven-day island vacation."Everyone cheered in the chat.Some employees who had joined because of Summer immediately asked her, "Are you going, too? Are we finally going to see you in person?"X—Summer—replied, "I have some matters at home, so I won't be joining. Just enjoy yourselves. Everything's on me."Everyone was a bit disappointed.But that was just temporary. The group was lively again very soon.Summer exited the chat group.Saul happened to message her at the same time. "Have you been very busy lately? We have

Summer opened her eyes drowsily. "Awake?" Mason asked.She looked at Mason before she lazily shut her eyes again. She looped an arm around his neck and gently ran her fingers through his hair."You can draw, too?" Mason softly asked near her ear."I was the one who did all the concept art for After School." Summer didn't hide anything from Mason.If she wanted to be mad, she got mad. If she wanted to boast, she would. If she wanted to act proud, she did so as well."Amazing," Mason praised.In truth, from the moment they met, Mason already knew she wasn't an ordinary girl. How many kids could even talk about programming at that age?He just never expected Summer to be so amazing.She finished a game herself and was a top scorer in the SATs. She was basically a bottomless treasure trove that always had something new.Summer opened her eyes. "As long as you know how awesome I am. Mason, if we ever end up being officially together, I'll be your armor. I'm not a weakness that wi

Mason nodded with a smile. "Alright."Summer playfully rubbed his ear. "You should get some rest, too. I'll give you a call after I confirm the day. I'm heading out now.""Okay." Mason nodded. After that, he hugged Summer tightly and kissed her by the ear.Then, Summer left.Mason lingered in the apartment for a while. There were so many traces of Summer here that he felt safer here than in his own home.Earlier, Summer mentioned Rosanna. Obviously, Mason knew how despicable the couple was. But he had once made a promise never to force any from the Hunt family to a dead end.That promise only held as long as they didn't target Summer. Otherwise……Summer never planned on staying that long. She hadn't expected to fall asleep, either.When she got home, she saw that the study light was on. It meant that Henry was back."How long has Grandpa been back?" Summer asked softly.Phoebe answered in an even softer tone, "He was back before 6:00 pm. He said he wanted to celebrate with
