Chapter 1702 Rebellious Daughter
“I’m not going to mince words with you. Just two things. Firstly, where are you? Secondly, why didn’t you
let me or the Fullers manage the club for you? Instead, you’re letting that woman do it. Don’t you know
what she has done to your parents?”
I knew that Emery was standing up for me, asking the questions which I did not know how to ask
Summer.
However, I did not blame Summer. I was just a little disappointed.
I was feeling dejected for not being able to understand my child.
Yet, Summer avoided Emery’s questions. “I have my plans, and I will return when the time comes.
Please tell my parents not to worry about me. I’m busy now, so I’ll hang up.”
“Hold on.”
Beep!
“Hello? Summer! Summer!”

The honk startled the sparrows on the trees, but an awkward silence filled the car.
Moments later, Emery joked, “I didn’t know your daughter is so rebellious.”
I smiled bitterly, not knowing if I should be sad or happy.
After Emery sent me home, she told me she had things to do and left. She did not go into much detail
since we had no common topics at work.
Upon scanning through the house, I did not see Ashton anywhere. It seemed like he had left the house
after me earlier.
I instinctively sent Joseph a message to ask him about Ashton’s whereabouts.
He instantly replied: Madam, I’m accompanying Ms. Stovall in M Country.
I paused for a moment before I lowered my head and typed: Didn’t Summer leave by herself? Weren’t
you with Ashton these past few days?
Joseph replied: Yes, so I’m secretly following her. Ms. Stovall doesn’t know about this. Mr. Ashton told
me to keep an eye on her, but he didn’t tell me anything else.
That being said, I realized that Ashton had been on his own the whole time. No one knew where he had
been, who he had met, and what he had done.
He was turning into a troublesome man, even worse compared to when he was younger.
After all, Joseph and the rest were abroad, so I made up a reason to reassure him. I replied: No wonder
Ashton complains about back pain every day when he returns from work. All right, I understand the
situation now. Keep an eye on Summer for me. Stay safe.
Joseph responded: Okay.
Looking at the message, I rolled my eyes. A man of few words! I swear this is the worst!
I felt vexed as I put down the phone. Sitting on the couch, I turned on the television and started changing
the channels randomly to vent my anger.
Suddenly, Alexander’s talk show appeared.
Since the host was rather bold, the show started with a sensitive topic. “Alexander, what kind of traits do

“Do you mean my future wife?” Alexander asked calmly. He sounded very experienced.
“You can put it that way.” The host nodded and continued, “Or should I say, in a relationship, would you
prefer to stay faithful to a person, or would you look around for better choices?”
Alexander pondered for a moment before he looked straight at the camera. His eyes were filled with
passion and sincerity as he answered, “Love at first sight.”
He firmly explained, “I believe in good first impressions. Once I’ve chosen someone, I will never change
my mind. Just like how I’ve chosen to become an actor, and I’ll never give up in this career.”
His affection and persistence could easily capture any girl’s heart. Even though I had only met him a few
times, I could not help but secretly wish that he would end up with Emery.
If only Emery could watch this, that’d be great.
“What are you watching?”
As I was engrossed in the show, I did not notice Ashton was home. I quickly answered, “Nothing. It’s a
variety show.”
“Oh.” After he responded briefly, he headed to the bathroom on the first floor. Then, he ordered the maid
to deliver his clothes, “Zekiel, get me a new set of pajamas.”
