Chapter 4 Going after Ferdinand's Wealth

• Lawrence saw the marks on Summer's body too. Although he didn't love her, the noticeable marks stung his eyes nonetheless. He demanded, "What's happened, Summer?"
• Summer found his accusing tone ironic.
• She couldn't be bothered to answer him. "As you can see, I have a boyfriend. You didn't play me between us because I fooled you first."
• Then, she covered her skin and walked away.
• "Lawrence, do you understand now? Summer is a b*tch like her mother. Just like how her mother cheated back then, she cheated on you and betrayed you."
• Abigail's words upset Grace. She pointed accusingly at Abigail and reprimanded, "Abigail, you just have to stoke the fire, don't you? Just because Mrs. Elledge is in a vegetative state doesn't mean you can backstab her and slander her. Fun fact. I was told Mrs. Elledge ran into the tryst of your mother and Summer's father before your mother pushed her down the stairs and put her in a coma. Lawrence is a moron to choose you over Summer."
• After that, she followed Summer out.
• After leaving the tent, Summer headed toward the beach.
• She shed tears as she ran toward her destination, feeling extremely frustrated.
• To be forced by a stranger and lose her virginity was already heartbreaking.
• Then, she had to discover her boyfriend cheated on her with her archenemy, Abigail.
• It added insult to injury and broke her heart into pieces.
• Grace ran toward Summer and said, "Summer, you must not do anything rash."
• Summer sobbed. "I won't. I won't give them the satisfaction of thinking they matter to me."
• "Right. They deserve a payback. I can't believe Lawrence. How dare he take advantage of your feelings for him to pursue Abigail? It's like he doesn't care if it would hurt you!"
• And that was the deal-breaker.
• "Grace, stop! I don't want to talk about them."
• "Okay." Grace comforted Summer, "Summer, cheer up. The sc*mbag doesn't deserve your tears."
• It was an understatement to say Summer wasn't sad. After all, she wasted four years on Lawrence.
• She was struggling to digest what she just learned.
• Summer didn't want Grace to worry about her. "Grace, you should go to bed now. I need a moment alone."
• "I'll stay with you," Grace offered.
• Summer turned Grace down. "No need. I'll be fine."
• Just then, her phone rang. It was a call from the hospital.
• Summer answered the call, "Hello, Summer Elledge here. Did something happen to my mother?"
• "Hello, Miss Elledge. The payment of your mother's medical expenses is overdue by a week. We'll discharge her from the hospital if you fail to make the payment."
• A week! Summer was shocked. She didn't expect Abigail's mother to be so cruel.
• "Okay. I get it."
• After she hung up the phone, her cheeks turned red with fury.
• Grace asked, "Is Mrs. Elledge all right?"
• Summer explained, "Jade and my father didn't pay my mother's medical bill on time."
• Grace was shocked. "Did they just threaten you to marry a guy by harming Mrs. Elledge?"
• Summer clenched her fists. "They're unbelievable! That's inhumane!"
• Half a month ago, Summer returned home to visit her mother, only to give Jade a chance to force her to marry Ferdinand Montgomery.
• The entire Zlido knew he was a heartless, bloodthirsty monster.
• He was impotent, unable to get an erection.
• He had married two women. Both wives died on their wedding night after he tortured them.
• Even so, people after his wealth were willing to leave their daughters at his mercy.
• A perfect plan had formed in Jade's mind.
• She coveted the Montgomery Family's wealth but feared Ferdinand would kill Abigail, so she forced Summer to marry him in Abigail's place.
