Chapter 2483
“Don’t do something shameful if you’re afraid of being ashamed.” Harry sat down at his desk. “Are you here to ask me to help the Hopes?” “Yes! You should help your wife’s maternal family, right?” Joyce said. “You shouldn’t take everything for granted. Just like back then, I didn’t really have to marry you,” Harry said nonchalantly. “Are you trying to blame me for asking you to marry me because of the pregnancy?” Joyce’s expression changed. Harry didn’t answer her. “My family won’t help you guys. We don’t want to get dragged into this mess,” Harry said after weighing the pros and cons. Joyce was taken aback by his coldness. She wondered if he would have helped the Hopes if Summer was his wife. “If something happened to the Hopes, the projects that were affiliated with the Scotts will definitely be affected. You guys will also suffer heavy losses, right?” Joyce asked. Harry had expected that. “Don’t you care about Hayden?” Joyce added, “Will he still be able to have a peaceful l

“Alright. I will help you this time. I leave the outcome to fate,” Harry said. Joyce’s expression brightened immediately. Things would get better as long as Harry was willing to help. “We won’t forget your favor. We’ll let you get the bigger share in our shared projects.” Harry didn’t have the slightest joy after listening to Joyce’s words. His happiness had completely died in Summer’s accident.-Summer didn’t expect Harry to ask her for a meet-up. They met in a private room in a club in Lanford. She heard a buzz as soon as she stepped into the room. Harry saw her looking puzzled and explained, “I blocked the functions of the electronic devices that are with you. They’ll return to normal once you leave the room. I don’t want our conversation to be recorded.” “What? You want to talk about something illegal with me?” Summer mocked. The woman that Harry once loved was looking at him with hatred. There was a big gap between them. “I already know what happened back then. It’s your

“All you have to do is admit that your mental illness is cured, move back to the Hope residence, and pretend that you’re on good terms with them,” Harry said. “Harry, you want me to lie to the public even after you know that I was set up by Joyce and the others? You want me to thank them for not giving me up and act like we’re a happy family?” Harry frowned at her sarcasm. “Things have already happened, and you should think about your future. Do you think that you can rely on the Valors for the rest of your life?” “So, you’re the type that can’t differentiate between good and evil. You make it sound like nothing. Would you be able to do what you said if someone locked you up in a psychiatric hospital during your best years?” Summer scoffed. “What do you want?” Harry asked coldly.“I want the truth to be revealed to the public and let them get the punishment that they deserve!” Summer exclaimed. “Do you know how it felt to be under the hospital's forced treatment? Do you know what

Harry’s breath hitched. He had a hunch about what Summer was going to say. “She asked someone to chop off my finger, and she flushed my finger together with the ring into the toilet. Then, she told me that I won’t have the chance to wear any wedding rings ever again,” she smirked. Harry felt suffocated after knowing what happened to Summer’s finger. He was filled with anger and guilt. He was angry at Joyce’s actions toward her sister, and he was guilty that he didn’t save her when he had the chance. He could have found something suspicious if he had tried to find out about Summer’s encounter. Still, he had deliberately told everyone not to mention anything about her in front of him.Even though Harry was angry at Summer’s betrayal, he didn’t want any of this to happen to her. Summer waved her hand in front of Harry’s face to let him get a clear view. “Do you still think that I should admit that I’m mentally ill and that Joyce did everything to cure me? Do you still want me to cla

Joyce looked away and forced herself to repeat. “I had nothing to do with her finger!” Harry glared daggers at Joyce, and he grabbed her hand the next moment. He held her middle finger up. Joyce realized what Harry planned to do. She cried out loudly, “Stop it, Harry! I’m your wife! Why would you believe the woman who betrayed you instead of me?!” Crack! Joyce wailed in pain. Harry had broken her middle finger. “Does it hurt?” Harry asked nonchalantly.Joyce covered her right hand and roared, “Why?! I’m your wife, and Summer’s the one who betrayed you! Why did you break my finger for her?!” “Yes, she did betray me, but it doesn't mean you can chop off her finger like that. The pain you’re feeling now is nothing compared to her pain. Do you think I would have let you keep your fingers now if you weren't my wife?” Joyce trembled. She realized that Harry had never forgotten Summer at all.“So, you believe everything she said? I’m the one who’s deeply in love with you!” “Do you th

“Didn’t you say that Harry would help us out? What did he do for us?!” Donald was irritated. Joyce had an ugly expression. “It was all Summer’s doing!” “You’re such a useless piece of trash! You still can’t get Harry to love you even after all these years!” Donald complained. Joyce was embarrassed. “My in-laws will be back with Hayden in a couple of days. I’ll get them to help if Harry still doesn’t make a move. The Scotts can’t afford to lose their reputation over a criminal daughter-in-law.” “Are you sure that they’ll help?” Lana asked uneasily. “You guys know how much they like Hayden. Hayden is the only heir of the Scotts now,” Joyce said. Lana felt a little assured by her words. Just then, a servant ran toward them. “Oh, no! There are police outside, saying that they want to take you all back for questioning.”The three of them were startled. A police officer then entered the house and called out their names before they could react. “We now suspect that the three of you a

"No, it's not me," Serenity clarified. "Someone left a document outside my hotel room and rang the doorbell. The document described in detail how you lost your finger and listed the names of the people present at that time."Summer was taken aback. "Who left the document?""I'm not sure," Serenity replied. "That person was wearing a cap and a thick coat. After making sure from afar that I saw the document, the person quickly left. They deliberately avoided the surveillance cameras and got into a car outside the hotel. The license plate on the car was fake, so we couldn't trace it," Serenity explained.She only discovered all that by watching the surveillance footage afterwards."Who could it be?" Summer wondered."Whoever it was, they must have given me the document either to help you or to get back at Joyce," Serenity speculated.Help her? Besides Serenity and Clara, who would want to help her?The Gerhold family?But the Gerhold family wouldn't do that. Even though they now k

She appeared gentle and polite, but there was a hint of slyness in her eyes."Alright, let's talk here then," Serenity said openly, wanting to see what the other person was up to.Snow hesitated, eyeing the two bodyguards next to Serenity. "I would prefer to speak to you in private, Mrs. Valor. Can we find a more secluded place to talk?""That might be difficult since my husband has arranged for a lot of people to protect me. Even if we go elsewhere, they'll still remain by my side, and they'll still overhear the conversation," Serenity said.A flicker of annoyance showed in Snow's eyes, but she quickly masked it and put on a sad expression. "It's like this. I hope you can end Lucas' feelings for you once and for all, Mrs. Valor. You have a happy family now, with children. I'm sure you wouldn't want Lucas to suffer, right?"Snow continued with a self-deprecating tone, "I know that, for Lucas, rather than a personal assistant, I'm just a substitute for you. But I genuinely love Luc
