chapter 6

It was obvious that she was using this woman called Lydia to deepen their conflict.

Naturally, Summer’s child belonged to Jasper. He had done a paternity test a long time ago, and he believed that Rose was already aware of the results.

But he was curious about what Rose was trying next.

“Lydia, Jaz has gone to the Miller family. If he finds out that you lied to him, he won’t forgive you,” Summer asked the servant to call Jasper.

The servant had secretly sent a message to Jasper and anxiously protected Summer. “It’s better for us to make plans only after the master comes back.”

“How dare they bully Summer so brazenly? Do they think that my cousin can be easily bullied now?” Keane was chewing a lollipop and walked over. He stared at Summer for a long time. “Hello, Sister-in-law, I’m Keane, I’m your cousin.”

Summer smiled awkwardly. This friendly cousin was just like her mother-in-law, Melody. Even his eyes looked more like Melody than Jasper’s did.

“Hello, cousin...” Summer nodded politely at Keane.

“Keane, why are you butting into this mess? Don’t you know that this woman lied to Big Brother Jaz?” Lydia was a little angry. In a short while, Jasper should be back.

“Whoa... Aren’t you Lydia? Aren’t you dead?” At that moment, Keane finally responded to the situation. He looked as if he had seen a ghost.

Lydia was irritated. Since young, she had disliked this cousin of the Miller family.

Keane loved to make fun of other people, so Lydia and Victoria often became Keane’s targets.

If not because of Jasper protecting her, she would break down in tears from his teasing.

“Keane, I was treated for three years at Country M. I did not break up with Big Brother Jaz before I was missing. You should know that!” Lydia’s eyes welled up with tears and said.

“I know. But my brother is married now. If not because of your illness, he would not work with Uncle Larson to lie to you. You know clearly why my brother agreed to be together with you now. So, stop bothering him. Or are you telling me that you’re the type who can’t stand watching others have a good life?” Keane’s playful look faded away, and he gave off a dreary aura.

“Why can’t you just believe that she is a liar?” Lydia’s belief that Summer was smart grew even stronger, because she managed to get everyone close to Jasper to support her within such a short period of time.

“I’m the daughter of the Plath family, Summer Plath. I’m also the legitimate heir of Plath Corporation and inherited the property under my father’s name. Now, Jaz has left Miller Corporation, and all the property under his name will be liquidated. No matter what, I’m the one who’s suffering more, don’t you think?” Summer said bravely and wanted Lydia to see the current situation clearly.

Some people were clearly worried that if she got together with Jasper, their personal interests would be affected if Jasper took over Plath Corporation.

“Furthermore, don’t you ever think about why you went missing for the past three years? Everyone thought that you were dead, and now, you’re back?” Summer added, and her hands started to sweat because she was nervous.

Keane smiled and glanced at Summer. Jasper had called him just now and told him to protect her well because she was timid.

But she did not seem to be that timid, after all.

“You said that I’m a liar, but you brought these people over to make me do a paternity test, and I don’t even know where they came from. I have full reason to report to the police and accuse you of trying to cause me personal harm!” Summer became madder as she spoke.

She did not know whether Lydia was really that much of an idiot to not realize she was being used, or whether she had ulterior motives.

“Since Ms. Summer doesn’t dare to perform the paternity test and got so many helpers over, I think we should leave first.” Rose glanced at Victor, who was leaning against the wall and was watching them make a fool of themselves. She asked Lydia to leave.

Lydia looked at the time. Jasper needed around twenty minutes to come from the main mansion. He should be here soon.

Summer was relieved when she saw Lydia going into the car with Rose and left.

“Thank you,” Summer expressed her gratitude to Victor.

“Don’t mention it. I’m not doing this for you.” Victor smiled and went back to his mansion.

“Sister-in-law, let me introduce myself. I’m Keane. My height is 188cm... and my weight is 71kg. I’m now on a diet. I don’t have any girlfriends. Over the past few days, that young pretty neighbor of yours caught my fancy. Could you hook us up?” Keane spoke without ever stopping.

Summer was shocked and stared at Keane. ‘Young, pretty neighbor?’
