Chapter 429 Submission
In other words, he was asking why she resorted to such an illegal method.
Dexter had always shown a hint of compassion toward her. However, his words now
indicated his disappointment.
Summer panicked. She wanted to say that she was not usually like that, but her courage
faltered upon seeing Dexter’s expression. She said timidly, T’m sorry. I understand what I
did is wrong, but I did it because I was afraid you would be furious about the mistake in
the analysis… I must have lost my mind to think to attempt that. Dex, I will accept any
punishment from you.”
She had no choice but to submit to Dexter.
Summer was afraid of Dexter. There was no doubt about it. Her fear of him began many
years ago. She had always been fascinated by him but felt insignificant before him. Even
though she tried to fight against it, she could not help but be keenly aware of her

Summer was usually a proud person. Thus, Dexter could not stand to see her pitiful
expression.
“You can walk yourself out.”
His tone was annoyed, as if he could not stand seeing her a second longer.
Summer almost burst into tears.
She struggled with every step and could keenly sense disdain as Dexter watched her.
Dexter suddenly called out after her. ‘Summer, I won’t take any action against you
because you’re an Olsen.”
Those words hurt more than anything he had said before.
Summer was stunned to her spot and turned around with eyes full of tears.
Dexter was slightly taken aback
“Dexter, must you be so cruel? Have you never considered me? All you care about is
Josie!” Dexter’s expression darkened with fury upon hearing Josie’s name. “Summer!”
However, Summer turned a deaf ear to his warning and poured out her feelings. “Has Josie
been with you as long as I have? Is my companionship not enough? I’ve been so good to
you.
When I was little, you made me tea and taught me to play chess. There were times when
you cared about me. Didn’t you feel anything when I called out your name?”
Summer was a young woman in her early twenties. She looked pitiful when she cried.
She came to Dexter, but her appearance felt comical due to her attire. “Have you never
thought about me? Have you never considered being with me?”
One of the things Dexter hated the most was a woman complaining to him about things he
never cared about. Most people would be doomed if they dared to say such things to him.
His eyes flashed. He wanted to speak but was suddenly stumped by the sight of Summer
crying pitifully. She reminded him so much of a woman constantly on his mind.

Summer misunderstood his pause, thinking her words moved him. She tried to hold his
hand but found his fingers cold.
Dexter shoved her hand away the instant she touched him. He explained, “You
misunderstood my intention.”
His expression was indifferent as he continued, “I’ve said it before. I’ve never done
anything out of bounds with you. You are like a sister to me. It was my fault that someone
sought to harm me through you. That’s why I’m lenient with you. It’s due to guilt.”
He had no choice but to explain at this point. His explanation was clear yet heartless.
Dexter felt he had tolerated her behavior enough.
Summer looked at him and nodded. She wiped the tears on her face with her hands and
quickly adjusted her emotions. Soon, she returned to her usual mature and understanding
self. “I apologize, Dex. I lost control of my emotions.”
Dexter looked down at her.
Was he heartless toward her? If he were, he would never have traveled through a
downpour and returned to the company to accept her interview. Moreover, he would not
have tolerated her and let her off after what she did.
However, that was the extent of his care for her.
It was all he could do for her.
