Chapter 565


    Chapter 565 Life Seemed Trivial


    A fiery torrent of wrath and disdain arose in Summer.


    Anger thrummed through her veins as she shattered all her objects in the master bedroom.


    “How could this happen? I have no interest in Arnold–why did I marry him and spend the rest of my life


    with him?” She was trembling with rage.


    Since Dexter publicly revealed Josie’s identity at her birthday banquet, Summer became the


    laughingstock of the entire Wavery City, with people using her of being a wanton woman trying to


    break apart a married couple.


    Even she couldn’t believe that Dexter would risk offending her and the entire Olsen family for the sake


    of Josie.


    Was Josie really that important?


    Summer was exhausted from her outburst and sat on the floor, panting tearfully.


    When udia arrived, she found Summer in such a disheveled state that was not befitting of a young,


    dignified woman of her status. udia heaved a sigh softly, “Get up.”


    Summer heard the sound and looked up at udia’s feet, feeling even more aggrieved. “Why did


    Father arrange it this way? You both know that I don’t like Arnold Carter.”


    She remained still, so udia had to bend down and help her up. “Arnold is a good man. He has been


    there for you all these years, unwavering. Even if you don’t love him, you should be grateful.”


    Summer couldn’t deny her gratitude towards Arnold Carter, the only person who visited her during her


    time abroad.


    “But, Mother, being grateful is not love.”


    “Then who do you love? Dexter?” udia reached out and tidied her disheveled hair. “Sum, he has


    already openly acknowledged his wife on your birthday–he doesn’t love or care about you. If you


    persist, you will ruin your own life.”


    Summer listened and gradually calmed down. “But I am unwilling. I can wait for them to get divorced…”


    udia fell silent and stared at her quietly.


    It was demeaning for her to say that, and her voice weakened.


    “This marriage is the best for you, for Arnold, for the Olsen family, and for the Carter family. Sum, don’t


    give up on yourself. You have a long life ahead, and you deserve your own happiness,” udia spoke


    slowly, her eyes filled withpassion for her daughter.


    Summer sat opposite her, and tears welled up. She suddenly asked, “Mother, I heard from Father that


    were surprised when Josie appeared. Why?”


    She was desperate for an answer. Thus her eyes fixated on udia, not daring to blink.

    udia evaded the question and said, “I was just surprised. I never expected Dexter to marry someone


    like her.”


    you


    “Really?” Summer probed as her heart shattered.


    “Absolutely,” udia replied calmly, with no hint of a white lie.


    “Why did you help her rescue Laura? Wouldn’t it be better to let her die in the basement, where no one


    would know and the Olsen family wouldn’t be tainted with scandal, and our father wouldn’t send away


    my brother? Isn’t that better?” she murmured.


    udia, almost furious, looked at her daughter in disbelief and gasped, “Summer, do you even realize


    what you’re saying? That was a human life! Your brothermitted a crime! Is a life that trivial to you?!


    You weren’t like this before.”


    Summer fell silent.


    Exasperated, udia shook her head and continued, “My dear Summer, though she may seem


    restless and stubborn now, she has always been kind–hearted since she was little.”


    Summer choked, “But have you ever been with us? Since Liana left, how much attention have you


    given to me and my brother? It’s only natural for him to go down this path. So even if everyone mes


    him, I don’t me him!”
