Chapter 176: Does He Like Summer Monroe?
"I found that Henry Stanton and Stella Monroe were secretly undermining the company, and there’s something unclear going on between them. But most importantly, I discovered that Henry Stanton has been in contact with his family... For Sadie’s sake, I can’t let them stay!"
This was the last entry in the diary.
Summer Monroe checked the timeline; this entry was from three days before her mother passed away.
Perhaps... Mom discovered their affair and malicious intent and wanted to drive them away, and that’s when Henry Stanton and Stella Monroe developed a murderous intent!
But, what does "his family" mean?
Is it her biological father’s family? How could Henry Stanton reach a family even mom couldn’t?
Just then, the phone chimed with a "ding dong" sound.
Summer picked up her phone and took a look; it was a message from Damian Knight.
"Are you asleep? Nervous about the live broadcast tomorrow?"
After returning to Rivain, Summer hadn’t considered the unexpected contents of the diary, and it was only now, upon seeing the message, that she remembered she had a live broadcast the next day.
Summer checked the time and realized the clock was pointing past eleven o’clock at night.
She should go to sleep.
To investigate the "he" mentioned in her mother’s diary, she needed to learn more, but she couldn’t rush it.
The breakthrough lay with Henry Stanton.
Summer closed the diary, rubbed her tired eyes, locked the diary away, washed up, and went to sleep.
Before sleeping, she replied to Damian Knight with: "Not nervous, I’m going to sleep."
On the other end, Damian Knight stared at Summer’s brief reply, lying in the office lounge, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
He just wanted to find a topic to chat about, but Summer ended the conversation directly.
It really was...
An indescribable feeling of frustration and annoyance.
He suddenly thought of what Isaac Ross had said, and his heart became even more agitated.
Did he like Summer?
Ha! Impossible!
Damian Knight got up, swallowed a sleeping pill, and only then was he able to fall asleep with difficulty.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
The next day’s filming was to promote the Midnight Coffee House live on the platform.
Since the Knight Group had paid a hefty price for the live slot, once it started, the broadcast room’s popularity was very high, and the response was excellent.
After finishing the live broadcast, Summer stretched with a big yawn.
However, at that moment, a beautiful girl with an unfamiliar face walked in carrying two bags of desserts.
"Excuse me..." The girl approached Summer and asked, "Where is Damian Knight?"
Summer was taking off her hat when she heard the voice and instinctively turned her head.
The girl wore a Chanel summer suit, with big, sweet eyes, looking cute and exquisite like a Barbie doll, speaking with a soft southern accent.
For some reason, Summer didn’t immediately tell the girl where Damian Knight was but instead asked, "Do you have business with him?"
Willow Grant had casually asked a person in a coffee shop uniform about Damian Knight’s whereabouts, but when the person turned around, she was astonishingly beautiful.
Willow had seen many good-looking people in Rivain, but never someone so elegantly beautiful—she was the first.
Willow was briefly stunned, and a strange sense of hostility arose in her heart.
A pretty girl can easily feel hostile towards an even prettier girl.
Willow paused for a second, then raised the two bags in hand and said, "Mrs. Stone asked me to bring some desserts I made for Damian Knight."
She finished and deliberately added, "Oh, Mrs. Stone is Damian Knight’s mother. Could you please tell me where Damian Knight is?"
