Keith's words were baffling, and Summer didn't understand what he was trying to say. She asked, "Why did you bring me here?""I want to show you the places where I had played with them in the past." Then, Keith turned and continued walking ahead. After passing by the center of the plaza, he sat at the side of a fountain. The dim light shone on his face, and his dark blue eyes seemed to sparkle like sapphires. He looked a bit sad as he reminisced about the old times. At that moment, Summer knew he wasn't behaving like the usual Keith she knew. In the past, he hadn't been evil at all; he had been an innocent and happy boy. James had mentioned earlier that Keith used to be a cheerful boy when they were younger. Back then, the heirs of the four prestigious families had often played together. However, their relationships had been ruined due to conflicts between their families, resulting in them competing with one another. The friendship between Keith and James had worsened signif
So, she went back despondently. "Keith, I want to leave now. Take me back.""I thought you were very capable. You can return home by yourself." This time, Keith let her leave instead of stopping her because he knew that Summer couldn't go home by herself. This angered Summer so much that she almost wanted to hit him. However, since she was a well-mannered lady, she didn't do that. She replied angrily, "Are you planning on staying here the entire night?" "Yes," Keith replied seriously. His looked very determined, and it seemed that he was really going to stay the night there. Meanwhile, Summer thought he was joking, so she asked, "Are you trying to trick me? You're really going to stay here tonight?""I'm not trying to trick you." Just then, Keith removed his jacket and placed it on the floor. Then, he lay down, looking as if he was going to sleep there. Yet, Summer didn't want to sleep outside because there were many pests and bugs. Besides, the temperature was low, so sh
Summer and James had become a real couple. They had already held their wedding and were living together. No one could ruin their relationship. However, Keith suddenly smirked. "Why? Do you think I'll mind if you aren't a virgin?""What do you want?" After pausing for a while, Summer realized that Keith had already moved closer to her, and his body was almost touching her arm. Summer was afraid, so she bashfully protected her chest with both hands. "Don't come too close. You know what will happen if you try to do something to me.""What will happen?""Of course—" Just then, Keith's hands made contact with her skin. She started yelling, "You pervert!"Summer stood up and hurriedly punched Keith's shoulders with her small fists. "Hey! Stop!" Keith protected his head with his hands, looking rather pathetic. In the end, he held Summer's wrists and stopped her. "Can't you be smarter? Do you really think that I'll do something bad to you? I'm not dumb.""How would I know what you
Summer got out of the car at 1:00 am. The building's lights were all switched off, and she could see the stars in the sky. Although Keith had taken her away by force, he had still taken her home. So, when Summer stepped out of the car, she thanked him. "You don't have to thank me. We aren't very close," Keith replied coldly. Then, he drove off into a dark street.Meanwhile, Summer still couldn't understand why Keith had come looking for her. Was he planning something weird behind her back? Or was he coming up with another method to ruin her marriage with James?Still, she had remained safe that night. Summer returned home, exhausted, and went to sleep immediately. …At the same time, Keith returned to a luxurious mansion owned by the Ritters. The place was very close to the Beaut Moon residential area and belonged to Ritter Corporation. After parking the car, he returned home to find someone waiting for him. He switched on the lights and saw a young woman sitting inside
Undoubtedly, Keith had the upper hand. He was a skilled businessman, and there were few people who could compete with him in the country. In fact, his stern demeanor could easily scare others away. However, Monica wasn't affected by that because she was used to his indifference. She smiled brightly and said, "Don't panic. I just wanted to check if you've really fallen for Summer.""Summer? That's ridiculous." Keith replied derisively, "I don't like her. She belongs to James, not me." "Is that so? But I know about what you did recently.""You! Did you send someone to stalk me?" Keith glared at Monica, looking murderous. Monica stared back at him and replied calmly, "Yes, I sent someone to stalk you. Kiki, you stalk others too, so why can't I stalk you?" She knew that Keith had sent someone to follow Summer. She was just giving him a taste of his own medicine.Then, she sat down on the couch and said arrogantly, "You haven't answered my question yet. You've fallen for Summ
"I'm not trying to do anything. I just want to find out if you'll admit the truth of what you said on this piece of paper," Monica replied. However, Keith remained silent. His entire body was tensed up. Since he wasn't speaking, she started reading the words on the paper slip aloud. "I keep dreaming about her recently. She doesn't belong to me, but I want her. I want to have her. Perhaps I should fight for my own happiness, even if it means snatching her away from another man."Though there wasn't a name mentioned on the slip of paper, Keith's face turned livid after Monica read its contents aloud. In truth, both of them knew clearly who Keith was referring to. The tension in the room heightened, and it seemed that a conflict was about to happen. However, Monica's next move stunned Keith. She nimbly stood up and ripped the paper into shreds. Keith was shocked after seeing that. "What are you doing?""I'm destroying the evidence. I stole this from your room. Since its con
Summer was very worried. James was her husband, so she was extremely worried for his safety. As such, she ran to the living room and called him before she brushed her teeth. Even though she called him a few times, no one picked up. His phone was switched off. That was an important problem. James never switched off his phone, even when he was asleep. He was a businessman, so if he kept his phone switched off, it would affect his work.Where was James? Summer started fretting and decided to go to Quigley Group to look for James.After hurriedly changing her clothes, Summer ran out. However, she ran into Lexi in the garden in the residential area. "Good morning, Mrs. Quigley," Lexi said. She asked, "Why are you in a hurry today?""I'm going to look for James. Something bad must have happened because he didn't come back last night."Summer looked very frantic, and she had even worn her shoes wrongly. She had worn a running shoe on one foot and slippers on the other. After see
"Alright, Mrs. Quigley," Lexi replied. Meanwhile, James was at the Quigley residence. He had drunk too much with his client the entire night, so the bodyguards had taken him back to the Quigley residence. By the time James woke from his sleep, he had sobered up. Once he washed up, he checked his phone and saw Summer's missed calls. He immediately called her back. "Summie? I'm sorry. I drank too much with my client last night.""It's fine. I heard about what happened." Summer was very understanding. Though James hadn't wanted to socialize with his client, he'd still had to do it. "Rest well and don't work too hard. Didn't you tell me before that you'd give the work to your subordinates? You have to make good use of your employees."Summer recalled their conversation from a week ago when they had talked about how to select employees. Though it had made her sleepy, she still remembered it. After getting a lecture from Summer, James could only nod and say, "I'll rest well. You
