Chapter 49
''Can this woman hear herself? I can’t believe her,’ Summer thought begrudgingly.
Meanwhile, Nancy spotted something which made her look in a daze. Her eyes glinted as she was
staring at Summer.
Nobody could tell what was in Nancy’s head at that moment. As for the women''s conversation, it
seemed t o get more vulgar aspared to the men''s conversation.
Especially with the presence of Grace, their conversation would only revolve around such topics.
Only Nancy has kept silent from the beginning towards the end. Both her expressions and eyes looked
glum and dull.
Long after, it was gettingte. After receiving a call, Grace picked up her red fur coat from the couch
and left immediately.
Mark and the gang had entered the room after finishing their game of billiards.
Hanging his coat on his arm casually, Billy gracefully pulled Sherman close to him and bade goodbye
before leaving.
Charlie squinted his eyes and looked around as if he was looking for someone. Mark, who was
standing
beside him, took a few nces at him with his eyes crinkled slightly.
As people were leaving one-by-one, Nancy did not spare a nce at Mark. She was scared of his
gaze, or rather, she did not dare to look at him, especially after what happened.
"Summer, I still have some matters to attend to, so I''ll leave first!” said Nancy hurriedly. Without waiting
for Summer to give a reply, she quickly got into a taxi and left.
When Summer came back to her senses, the taxi had left without a trace.
Furrowing her brows, Summer was worried about Nancy as she seemed off the whole night. She
thought Nancy looked as if she had something bugging her, and she assumed it was regarding Nancy''s
brother.
The ck Land Rover drove in the night as the snow was falling peacefully.
Summer hesitated for a moment before speaking up slowly and tentatively, "You’ve met Nancy’s
brother before, right?"
"Yes," he replied as his eyes shifted to her for a while. With his brows raised, he knew what she was
about to say, but he remained silent.
"Well, he''s been abducted. Could you help and get him released?" she asked as she held her hands
together.
Her gazended on him, and she saw him moving his lips as she heard his deep voice say, "I’m a

businessman, and every businessman looks into the profit they can make before deciding on
something. S o, what would my reward be, my dear wife?"
After pondering, Summer replied in a serious tone, "I would listen to any of your requests as long as it''s
within my capability, and also, don''t make any absurd requests!"
Before ending her response, she mocked him, "What a skimming businessman you are."
In a low pitch, he chuckled after being silent for a few seconds and said, "Well, there are no
businessmen who are not skimming."
He did not think that what he said was wrong, but Summer felt her eyes twitch at his response.
A moment after, Mark spoke up and asked, “Do you and Ms. Atkinson have a close rtionship?"
Puzzled as to why he suddenly asked, she replied truthfully, "Yes, we''re really close. Why do you ask?"
Just as he was steering to the left and driving into a gas station, his eyes flickered with a certain
emotion a s he asked, "How much do you know about her?"
She thought about it in a heartbeat and replied, "More than anyone or anything!"
He slightly crinkled his eyes, and his thin lips raised into a smirk. Just as an attendant was spotted
walking towards them, his eyes darkened as they
narrowed.
Feeling curious about the change of his expressions, Summer followed his gaze, and she froze at what
or who she saw.
It was Jazz!
With his defined features, he looked dashing, and he seemed like a carefree teenager.
As he walked towards them under the snow, he was wearing a staff uniform. He didn''t look his age as
the uniform made him look matured and collected like an adult.
"Hello there, mister. Do you want it to be filled up full?" Jazz asked. His face looked slightly blue from
the freezing air.
