Chapter 31

Rose stood on the steps and gaped at the TV screen, on which the clip had been paused. Summer looked beautiful, poised, and commanding on screen, but it was such an unfamiliar sight to Rose.How could this be the same Summer she'd always manipulated and toyed with?After a brief moment of dazedness, anger and terror washed over her. She was in such a dire situation, yet Summer was stomping all over her suffering and putting on such a show before the reporters.No wonder she hadn't had the nerve to return to Hartford Manor last night—she didn't have the nerve to face Rose after the things she'd done!"Rewind the clip now. I want to see what happened earlier!" Henry urged after returning to his senses. Luke also snapped to his senses and grabbed the remote, rewinding the clip.Henry, Luke, and Kristen were thoroughly stunned after seeing how Summer had spoken to the reporters."Am I seeing things, Dad? Was that Summer who rebuked the reporters with the cameras rolling?" Luke aske

Chapter 32

Just then, Anthony's room door was pushed open. He immediately locked his phone and turned to give Rose a displeased look. "Don't you know how to knock?""Summer must've discovered something!" Rose's mind was filled with thoughts of Summer acting so out of character that she didn't notice the scornful look on Anthony's face.Anthony tensed at her words. "What do you mean by that? Did she say anything to you?""Can't you tell she's like a different person? She seems to be avoiding us, too. Look at how she stopped her home tutoring without a word—she's not even returning to the manor now!" Rose growled."She's not returning tonight?" Anthony frowned. He'd learned about Summer's preferences from Rose and already had a plan. He wanted to orchestrate an encounter with Summer that night and use her likes and dislikes to slowly get to know her better. Yet now, she wasn't even returning home!"Our plan is ruined if she's really noticed anything!" Rose snarled."That might not necessari

Chapter 33

The phone call went on for over half an hour. Summer exhaled deeply after hanging up before focusing on her laptop again. She still had to continue challenging the hackers.She'd spent the whole day in class. As soon as she logged on, everyone who was online grew excited. Comments started flying in the black chatbox."X is here! They're here!"Summer's username on the website was the alphabet "X"."Why are you only showing up now, X? We've waited the whole day and thought you weren't coming."Summer wrote, "I was in class during the day. I just got home."Everyone was stunned. X was a student? The legend who'd only taken one afternoon to get from the bottom of the ranking to the top four was a student?Summer ignored the rest of the comments and issued a challenge to the hacker ranked third on the website. He was the only one who'd been online before Summer had gone offline yesterday. Today, however, the top three were all online. It looked like they were waiting for her.He ac

Chapter 34

Terrence frowned slightly. "What's wrong with you?""I didn't manage to track X's IP address. I only know the general region she's in!" Fred was starting to doubt his capabilities."Where is she?" Terrence and Saul asked simultaneously."Shorewall City!"The three exchanged looks. Then, Terrence chuckled. "What a small world, huh? Looks like we all share the same hometown!"Saul and Fred looked at him wordlessly. The three of them were from affluent families and had delicate statuses in their respective families. That was why they'd been sent abroad since childhood. It was hard to believe Terrence had talked about them sharing the same hometown as X when they didn't even return to Shorewall City annually."Saul and I are bound for a trip back soon, so we might have the chance to run into this adorable run-of-the-mill computer genius." Terrence seemed particularly interested in X.Saul's smile slowly faded upon hearing Terrence's words, though. It was evident he didn't want t

Chapter 35

There it was—Rose's twisted logic. Based on her words, Summer was an idiot for not believing her and was rubbing salt into her wounds."No one said anything to me," Summer said."Why did you say that you don't know how to face me now, then?" Rose was baffled. She couldn't help wondering what the hell was going through Summer's mind. The current situation was already keeping her on the edge of her seat—Summer wasn't making it any better."I know you're a victim, Rose." Summer stretched her neck emotionlessly. "But I can't forget the things I saw that day. When I see you, I'm reminded of those disgusting… I can't get over them, so…"Rose felt like she'd been struck by lightning. Did Summer mean that she found her dirty?"Give me some time to forget the things I saw. We can go back to being like we've always been once I'm ready," Summer said.Rose wanted to get on her nerves, didn't she? Nothing she said could hurt her now, though. On the contrary, Summer had plenty of dirt on Rose.

Chapter 36

Mason had already watched the video countless times since it'd been released. There was no doubt that the change Summer had shown was stunning, whether in terms of her appearance or personality.He wasn't surprised, though. She'd always been full of ideas and strength, even as a child. He just didn't know what had happened to make her change in recent years.Since running into her in the alley behind the street of bars that night, it had unlocked a door buried deep within his heart. Every day, he would think of various reasons to see her. However, none of them mattered when it came to the sole reason he couldn't see her.He was currently walking the gangplank, and danger lurked everywhere in his life. He couldn't let anyone know his weak spot was hidden within the Hartford family. Otherwise, he wouldn't be the only one in danger. Summer would be, too.The atmosphere around Mason turned gloomy. The incident at the street of bars had to be concealing some sort of danger that was harm

Chapter 37

Kristen was stunned when she heard Rose's words. Just then, Rose turned to see Kristen standing there. She hurriedly hung up and dried her tears before acting like nothing had happened. She smiled and approached Kristen. "When did you get here, Aunt Kristen?"Kristen didn't answer. Instead, she entered the room and shut the door. "Who were you on the phone with, Rose?"Rose's smile froze. "A classmate. D-Did you hear our conversation?""Yes." Kristen's expression was ugly."That person was just spouting nonsense, Aunt Kristen. Summer and I are so close, so how could she possibly hurt me just because you treat me well? I… I don't believe it." Rose started weeping as she spoke. "There was something suspicious about the whole thing, but I'll always trust Summer, no matter what. Let's not talk about this anymore.""Something suspicious? What was it?" Kristen asked. "Are you still hiding something from me?"Rose abruptly stopped crying. After a brief silence, she said, "Stop askin

Chapter 38

Rose's smugness instantly disappeared. She'd originally imagined Kristen siding with her and going after Summer to berate her for everything. How could… How could Kristen say something like that?Still, she said, "Okay.""Your Uncle Luke has been looking into the matter, so you don't need to worry about anything. We won't let the people who hurt you off the hook," Kristen promised.Rose was so furious that she almost exploded. What was up with this bullshit investigation? She could find the pieces of trash herself. She didn't need the Hartfords to do it for her!The fact that Kristen had told her to keep the incident a secret made it clear that she had her doubts. Yet she was choosing to side with Summer.As expected, all of the Hartfords were equally evil. She wouldn't let any of them off the hook! She would make all of them pay!…Summer went to school as usual the following day. Everyone, from the teachers to the students, treated her cautiously. After all, she'd changed too

Chapter 39

It was only after Summer had gotten into trouble that she'd heard about Annie hiring a few gangsters to extort her after school that day. The handwriting on the note was exactly like the one on Lindsey's notes.So, it was her… Summer exhaled softly and put the notebook into her bag.…Meanwhile, Annie and Becca walked along a path happily."Summer thinks she's a big deal just because she has Hartford Group, but what can it give her? Can it give her good grades? She's still dumb, isn't she? Look at how horrible her grades are—even my dog can do better than her on a test!" Annie mocked."I can't wait to see her get lectured in front of the whole school. I heard whoever does badly will even have their photo put up under the blacklist on the noticeboards everywhere!" Becca said gleefully.Just then, some students looked up from their phones to give them odd looks. Annie frowned at them. "What the hell are you guys looking at?"Before she could continue with her tantrum, the dire

Chapter 40

When Summer arrived outside the principal's office, she heard a woman's furious roar. "I know my daughter—she's been a prim and proper lady since childhood. This little witch must've done something truly horrible to push her to such extremes!""I didn't…" Lindsey said tearfully. This was followed by the crisp sound of a slap."You shouldn't get violent, Mrs. Sutton!" This was from the principal, Harold Green.Summer knocked on the door, making everyone inside turn to look at her. Though Harold had advised Annie's mother, Carol Bolton, against violence, he hadn't done anything to stop her. In fact, he seemed to be on his guard against Lindsey and her grandmother.Lindsey's grandmother was a skinny, petite woman. She held Lindsey while sobbing—it was a heartbreaking sight."What are you doing here, Summer?" Harold's expression softened a little."I'm here to return Lindsey's notes." Summer approached Lindsey and returned the notebook. "I'm done reading this. It was very helpful,
