Chapter 2187: Summer Called Mrs. Brightwood
Rupert had no choice but to curse under his breath. Despite his reluctance, he transferred the money. He knew that any money he had would be taken by creditors if they found out about it. He didn't know how this person found him after being gone for six months, but their sudden reappearance was no coincidence. It was as if they knew he still had a million dollars in his account.
Rupert quickly used his phone to transfer the million dollars, feeling a deep pain in his heart as he did so. He was now broke, and the money hadn't even had a chance to warm up in his hands. After completing the transfer, he left the restaurant. Just as he stepped outside, two burly men appeared out of nowhere. One of them covered his mouth and dragged him into a car.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
"Mm..." He didn't even have time to struggle.
Just like that, Rupert was kidnapped. He owed too much money, and danger was always close by. People like him often didn't know how they would meet their end. The car sped away recklessly, not caring about any surveillance cameras.
Summer, who had left the restaurant, was contemplating whether to immediately confess everything to Mr. and Mrs. Brightwood. Since she had made up her mind and there was no turning back, she calmly considered how the elderly couple would feel upon hearing the news. She carefully drove home.
In the apartment living room, Summer thought it over again before dialing Mrs. Brightwood's number.
When the call connected, Mrs. Brightwood spoke happily before Summer could say anything. "Summer, do you have time for dinner now? We haven't cooked yet; should we all go out to celebrate? You can pick a fancy restaurant, and we'll cover it!"
Hearing Mrs. Brightwood's eager tone made it hard for her to speak up. "Mrs. Brightwood..."
"Summer, what's wrong?" Mrs. Brightwood quickly calmed down upon hearing her tone. "Where are you? Did something happen?"
"Mrs. Brightwood," Summer said calmly, "Rupert and I have broken up. I'm sorry; I won't be marrying into the Brightwood family."
"What?!" Mrs. Brightwood nearly fainted from shock. "You just bought a house and now you're breaking up? What's going on? Can't you resolve it without breaking up? Who suggested this? Was it Rupert? Summer, if he wronged you, I'll deal with him!"
"Mrs. Brightwood," Summer remained surprisingly calm compared to Mrs. Brightwood's reaction, was the one who suggested it. I wasn't involved buying the house; I didn't sign anything or even go there. Whether
he bought it or not has nothing to do with me."
"What?" Mrs. Brightwood was even more shocked and incredulous. "You didn't go?"
"No, I wasn't involved," Summer replied, "I'm sorry, Mrs. Brightwood, but there's something else I need to tell you: I've regained my memory. Rupert and I were never really couple we had no feelings for each
other. Now that I remem to a fet
everything, let's not force this anymore and return to our own paths."
"..." Mrs. Brightwood could hardly believe it. "You've regained your memory? But you've been together for so many years; what does regaining your memory have to do with anything? Your marriage seemed like a natural progression."
"Mrs. Brightwood," Summer said
firmly, "even without regaining my memory, I wouldn't marry him because we have no feelings for
each other. We were young and net
followed our families' arrangements back then, but now I've come to understand things clearly and want to stop this mistake before it's too late."
