“I didn’t. | just want the Summers family to rise again-what’s wrong with that? If you won't help us, can’t | find
another way out?”
“A way out? I'm your daughter. As long as I'm Mrs. Luke, the Summers family will never fall. So what if we're
temporarily bankrupt now? Didn’t you hear what Jensen said just now? As long as I'm Mrs. Luke, the Summers
family will be safe.”
Sharon's words left Mrs. Summers speechless.
Jensen had treated both the family and Sharon so harshly before-it wasn’t unreasonable for her to worry. But
now, if Jensen could be persuaded to spare the Summers family for Sharon's sake, she no longer wanted to risk
exposing her daughter.
Mrs. Summers swallowed hard. “I was just anxious, that’s all. Didn't you see how your father’s hair turned white
overnight? If the Summers family collapses, even as Mrs. Luke, will anyone still respect you? How long do you
think you can keep up the act of being terminally ill? Once the truth comes out, what then? Jensen could crush
you with a single finger!”
“And if the Summers family survives, what real help can you give me? Didn't Jensen already drive you to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtbankruptcy once?”
Sharon's words cut deep, nearly taking Mrs. Summers's breath away.
“That's only because we tied everything to Luke Corp. When Jensen struck, we had no way to fight back. But
your father’s heard about a rising foreign company. We're planning to work with them. Jensen’s reach won't
extend overseas. Even if your secret is exposed one day, the Summers family will be there to protect you.
Sharon, without your family behind you, you won't last.”
Her words cooled Sharon’s murderous thoughts.
She was right.
Jensen’s moods were unpredictable. If the truth about her fake cancer cout, Sharon couldn’t be sure she
could control him.
The Summers family still had its uses. After all, she was their blood.
Sharon frowned slightly.
“Is that
company reliable?”

“Very. Your father already looked into it. But investing in their project will take a lot of money. Back then, all our
funds were tied up with Luke Corp, so we couldn't act. Now that Jensen wants to make it up to you, get some
money from him for us. Once the Summers family rises again, we'll be your strongest support.”
Mrs. Summers sighed and pressed on. “Sharon, you're my daughter. Of course | want you to live well. But the
Summers family is your foundation. You can’t lose it, and you can’t let it fall. Help us stand again, and | swear no
one will ever be able to bully you.”
She knew Sharon was selfish, but she was still her child. Natalie was gone now-this was the only daughter she
had left. If she could draw Sharon back to her side, she still hoped for ssemblance of a mother-daughter
bond.
Sharon wasn’t stupid; she knew where her advantage lay.
She nodded. “I'll find a way to get the money. But before that, you're not allowed to go to Jensen again. And
Mom, are you really planning to give him Natalie’s swaddles? Aren't you afraid he’ll use them to track down her
real parents?”
Mrs. Summers's face drained of color.
Sharon narrowed her eyes.
“Mom, do you know something about Natalie's background? | was the one who got switched at birth, so logically
Natalie should've been that peasant woman's child. But the DNA test proved otherwise. Her identity has never
been investigated. For five years, she was blinded by love, thinking Jensen was all she needed. Why didn’t you
investigate? Why weren't you curious?”
For a moment, Mrs. Summers's eyes flickered with panic, then she smoothed it away.
“She wasn’t my daughter anymore. Why should | care who her parents are? If she didn’t bother to look, why
would 1?”
With that, she turned and walked off, her pace betraying a hint of retreat.
Sharon's eyes narrowed further.
She had the feeling her mother knew something. But with Natalie dead, she couldnt be bothered to dig further.
Back home, Mrs. Summers pulled out a few of Natalie's old school design awards. Sharon glanced at them and
curled her lip.
“Mom, you raised Natalie so well, but she never contributed to the Summers family. Meanwhile, I, the daughter
you lost, am the one holding everything together. From now on,

don’t you dare say anything reckless in front of Jensen. If | lose his favor, the Summers family won't have any
future either.”
