The plan had failed, and Jasmine had intended to return to the capital, but was stopped by Bertram.

Bertram said, "I also happen to have to make a trip to Jaraster tomorrow. We can return together then."

Just as Jasmine was about to agree, Bertram continued, "By the way, I'll bring Summer along. We'll find a tto

apologize to Lenora. After all, this was Summer's fault. When the tcomes, you can accompany Summer. It

might help to smooth things over between you two."

Jasmine's eyes widened in disbelief, her lips parting slightly as she struggled to maintain her composure.

"Bertram, you know what Summer's temperament is like-

Moreover, after last night's incident, Lenora is probably seething with resentment toward me. How could there

possibly be any deep mother-daughter affection between us?

Bertram interrupted her. "It's precisely because she's hot-tempered that she needs to be properly disciplined.

She needs to understand what's acceptable and what's not. Your approach will only spoil her."

"All right, I understand that. However, Lenora harbors deep misunderstandings about

1. me.

| think it's something that can be easily resolved."

"As long as you treat her right, given enough time, shell eventually understand your feelings. There's no need to

rush things," Bertram advised her casually,

At that moment, if he approached Zachary, claiming to be his father, asking Zachary to return with him to the

Hoffman family. Zachary would most probably drive him away.

He was afraid to see a face filled with hatred on Zachary, and he couldn't swallow his pride either, so he could

only let Jasmine and Lenora act as the intermediaries. After hanging up the phone, Jasmine was on the verge of

throwing her phone again..

Bertram actually askedto go and apologize to Lenora with Summer? He really expectsto curry favor with

Lenora? Does that b*stard even deserve this?

The day Summer took the money and left the Hoffman residence, she didn't even manage to leave Jeahron

before she was apprehended by Ezekiel's men. They confined her in a two-story apartment. Ezekiel had merely

restricted Summer's freedom, but he hadn't mistreated her in any other way.

Whatever Summer desired to eat or wanted, she could instruct the bodyguards outside to purchase it for

her.

At first, she used this method to torment her bodyguards, expressing her protest. After two days of this forment,

she realized it was furile and decided to calm down.

Until that day, she was finally released and brought back to the Hoffman residence.

Summer breathed a sigh of relief, but didn't find Jasmine at the Hoffman residence. Upon inquiry, she found out

that her aunt had gone to Jacaster.

Subsequently, Bertram suggested that she accompany him to Jacaster to apologize to Lenora.

Summer instinctively wanted to refuse, but the stern look on her uncle's face made her swallow her words before

they could escape her lips.

He expectsto apologize to Lenora, groveling before her? Where then, would my dignity go? Where would my

pride go? Throughout my life, I have never once been defeated by Lenora. She'd surely be thrilled with triumph if

she seesbowing and scraping before her!

Filled with resentment and dissatisfaction, Summer followed Bertram to Jacaster.

Throughout the journey, Summer dared not voice a single complaint.

But when she arrived in Jacaster and met Jasmine, she found herself alone with her cousin. She tearfully confided

in Jasmine, expressing that she didn't want to apologize to Lenora.

Jasmine let out a sigh, hinting at her own predicament, "I'm helpless too. Whatever your uncle decides, can't be

changed."

Bertram's willingness to protect Summer was already considered a stroke of luck for her. In his view, it was only

right for Summer to apologize.

"Why did Uncle Bertram suddenly ask you to mend your mother-daughter relationship with Lenora?"

"Perhaps it's due to Zachary. A few days ago, Zachary personally visited the Hoffman family to seek justice for

Lenora. In the past, | remember your uncle watching Zachary's interview, his words full of admiration for him. His

personal visit this twas also intended to collaborate with the Fuller family."

Recalling the tall and upright figure, the man who was refined and elegant, a man of responsibility and duty,

Summer's fondness for him deepened even more

Upon reflection, it becapparent that Zachary's responsibility was all for Lenora.

A flash of jealousy contorted Summer's face.

Why? Why does Lenora manage to win the affections of both Zachary and Ezekiel? Why, even after their divorce,

is Zachary still so unwaveringly devoted to Lenora? If Zachary could have treatedthe sway, standing up

forright after | was wronged, | would have been absolutely overjoyed!

"Aunt Jasmine, are you really planning to mend your relationship with Lenora and bring her back to the Hoffman

family?" Summer asked, shaking Jasmine's arm and pouting her lips.

"Of course not. Even if | wanted to, Lenora wouldn't agree. She's not a fool, you know. Rest assured, no one is

going to take what's yours."

Summer breathed a sigh of relief. "You're so nice to me, Aunt Jasmine."

Jasmine chuckled, but her smile froze as a thought crossed her mind. She 'gently patted the back of Summer's

hand, "Summer, your uncle and Ezekiel are planning to send you abroad for studies. Which country do you

prefer? They will arrange everything for you." Summer's eyes widened, staring at Jasmine in disbelief

Seeing Jasmine's serious expression and realizing she wasn't joking, Summer panicked.

"Aunt Jasmine, | don't want to study abroad. Is that okay? Can you talk to Uncle Bertram and Ezekiel about

Jasmine heaved a sigh. "It's no use. Summer, do you still not understand my status in this family? How can |

change the decisions made by those two? The trouble you've caused this tis too significant.”

Tears welled up in Summer's eyes as she pleaded, "Aunt Jasmine, | beg you, I really don't want to study abroad! |

won't know anyone there, and my Uprian isn't good. What if something happens? Can you bear to seesuffer

in a foreign land?"

Jasmine patted Summer's back, unswayed. "It's not that | don't want to help you, it's that | can't. Don't worry,

your uncle and cousin will take care of everything for you. They won't let you suffer."

No matter how much Summer cried, Jasmine remained unyielding.

Since childhood, Jasmine had always been the one who pampered her the most. If even her aunt refused to

agree to this matter, it meant there was no room for negotiation at all.

She simply would have to go study abroad.

However I'm no longer young. I'm well past the age of schooling By the t/ returned from studying abroad in a

few years, the people in my social circle would have becstrangers to me. Who would want me, then? |

certainly have no intention of marrying those small-tbusiness owners or spoilt and pampered kids! Since

going abroad is inevitable anyway, what's the point in apologizing?

Summer was particularly repulsed by this matter.

Coincidentally, Bertram returned from outside and had already set a date. He asked her to accompany Jasmine

to the Fuller residence the day after tomorrow.

At the dining table, under Bertram's imposing authority. Summer dared not complain. She nodded submissively,

a flash of resentiment flickering in the depths of her eyes.

Ever since she crossed paths with Lenora, nothing seemed to go her way.

Lenora is nothing but a jiur! It'd be better if she's just disappear! Then, | wouldn't have to apologize, and Uncle

Bertram and Ezekiel wouldn't makestudy abroad either.

The thought had briefly crossed Summer's mind and never faded. away

"Summer."

Jasmine noticed Summer was lost in thought and gave her a nudge with her elbow. She flashed an apologetic

smile at Bertram before saying, "Summer, your uncle was speaking to you. Did you hear him?" Snapping back to

reality, Summer looked at Bertram and gave a small nod. "Yes, | heard you!

Bertram furrowed his brow, but didn't say a word.
