Chapter 13 Who Do You Think You Are?
It was commons for men in wealthy families to have lots of lovers. As long as the family’s reputation remained intact, they could indulge in such affairs as they pleased.
a mother, would not interfere much.
Today, the finally made a promise to Summer..
However, Zoey did not receive Summer’s thanks as she had imagined, but a cold laugh.
Summer said, “Mrs. Hayes, please save your kindness for someone else. I am not fortunate enough to enjoy it. In addition, Ethan and I have already broken up. It’s better for us to treat each other as strangers if we meet again in the future.”
In the past. Summer used to unconditionally tolerate Zoey for the sake of Ethan.
Zory complained that Summer wasn’t well–educated because she did not have a study abroad experience, nor did the have a career or job after graduation. In short, Zoey felt that Summer was not worthy of her precious son.
Summer had tried to please her future mother–in–law, but now, she didn’t even want Ethan. So, what did his mother count for?
How could Summer bear Zoey anymore?
“By the way, Mrs. Hayes, I have a suggestion for you.”
Zoey was taken
y was taken aback.
Summer smiled slightly and said, “Don’t be so harsh in your words in the future, because it’s easy to get beaten up
“Also, you’d better learn the real meaning before you use all those big words”
After saying that, Summer turned around confidently and entered the library.
Zoey stood rooted to the spot with astonishment, her pupils trembling. “What did she just say?! How dare she speak to me like that? Who does she think she is? Does she still want to marry into the Hayes family?
Ana was grabbed by her mother’s arm and shaken violently. It was only then that she snapped out of her daze and murmured, “Mom, did Summer just say she broke

“Heh, do you believe it?”
“Yeah, that’s right. She broke
After all, everyone knew that Summer loved Ethan madly, like a loyal dog that couldn’t be driven away.

Ana withdrew her gaze.“Mom, don’t forget that we have important matters to attend to today. You need to accompany me to visit the school leaders.
Glancing at the time, Ana realized that she would be late if she didn’t leave now.
Zoey took a deep breath to calm the anger surging in her chest. “Let’s go. Who does Summer think she is? I won’t let her delay my daughter’s important matters!”
The library of Harvard University had a long history and a complete collection of books, eaming it the title of “ocean of knowledge”
Summer wandered around for two rounds before finding a seat, and coincidentally, the classification bookshelf for bioinformatics was right
behind her.
It provided convenient access to information
any time.
Summer’s gaze swept over the top layer and happened to see the name of Jack
She pulled it out curiously. The book cover displayed a vast universe, just like the impression that Jack gave her profound, vast, calm, and quiet.
This was a research note that roughly discussed the structure and dynamics of protein molecules, which belonged to the interdisciplinary study of biology and physics.
Opening the first page, Summer found a handwritten quote, “All things are interconnected, and there are no boundaries in disciplines.”
Only a polymath could speak so confidently about interdisciplinary research.
< Chapter 13 Who Do You Think You Are? |
Unconsciously, half a day had passed, and Summer had almost finished reading this book.
Although she majored in bioinformatics in her undergraduate studies, her physics grades were also impressive
At one o’clock in the afternoon, she closed the book, put it back in its original position, took a deep breath, and then felt hungry.
Leaving the library, she prepared to grabs something to eat before coming back to continue studying
Halfway throughs lunch, Raina’s phone came over
“Raina, what happened?”
“Are you at home?”
“No, I’m at the library. Summer took a sip of water. Is there something wrong
“Yesterday, that scumbag Ethan cane over!”
Raina was still linle angry at the mention of this.
“He asked me where you were as soon as he saw me. Funny. How could I possibly tell him? You haven’t run into him these past two days, have you?
Finally getting rid of the scumbag, Summer must not jump into another pitfall again.
Summer shook her head and said, “No.”
“That’s good.” Raina breathed a sigh of relief. “By the way, are you free tonight? Can you do me a favor…”
Everything went smoothly with the visit. Ana had a smile on her face, sweeping away the frustration she had encountered with Mia
“Let’s e
‘s go. Mom. Get into the car
Zoey furrowed her brows and withdrew her gaze from the direction of the library. “You go ahead. I still have something to do.”
After speaking, Zoey immediately made a phone call to have another driver from his family drive the car over.
Ana thought that her mother was going to attend some kind of ladies gathering again, so she didn’t think much about it. Little did she know that after Zoey got into the car, she directly gave instructions.
“Go to Ethan’s company.”
Just after the meeting Ethan saw his mother with a furrowed brow and an aggressive demeanor.
His scalp tingled. “Mom, why did you come over
“What? I couldn’t come and see you?”
“Not really.” He touched his nose.
Zoey hummed lightly and went straight to the sofa and sat down, saying, “If you can’t handle women well, I don’t mind lending a hand.”
Ethan was confused.
“Look at Summer’s attitude. In the end, it’s all because of your spoiling!”
Ethan’s pupils tightened slightly. “Summer? What happened to her?”
“Don’t you know? Just now I ran into her at the library of Harvard University. I only said a few words to her, yet she went crazy! She accused me of being mean and even mocked me for being uneducated! Ha, she really is from a small and uncultured family, with no manners at all!”
et her at
Ethan frowned“Did you meet
the
library?”
“Yeah, instead of cooking and doing household chores at home, she went to the library to pretend to be cultured, thinking that I would be impressed. She’s just dreaming!
“And she claimed that she had already broken up with you. If we ever meet again, we will be strangers! Is it the right attitude to speak to elders? Does she still want to be a part of our Hayes family?”
Ethan’s pupils became even more profound.
Suddenly, something crossed over Zoey’s mind.
Zoey asked, “Did you really break up?”
Ethan replied inexplicably, “How is that possible?”
< Chapter 13 Who Do You Think You Are!
“Humph! I knew it! Someone like her, who finally managed to catch a rich husband, would never let go of it easily!
“Anyway, now that you know everything, go back and teach her a lesson properly
Zoey complained incessantly, which irritated Ethan.
“Mom,” he interrupted, “please stop talking. I have a meeting to attend later. I will have someone take you back home.”
“No. I haven’t finished yet…”
Seeing her son’s increasingly gloomy face, Zory wisely kept her mouth shut.
“Well, I’ll leave now. You mustn’t let her off easily. Wonsen need to be well disciplined. Only then will they listen!”
“Um.”
After seeing off his mother, Ethan casually loosened his tie and let out a sigh of relief.
Looking at the setting sun outside the French window, he didn’t want to go back to the villa. He remembered that it would be Hailey’s binhday
in two days, so he sent a message asking Charlie what would be a good gift
Charlie replied in an instant, “Women all like jewelry, so picking a bracelet or necklace should probably do”
Ethan replied, Tm not really good at picking. Let’s go together.”
Charlie was speechless.
Would he, as a single man, make a good choice?
They arranged to meet at a shopping mall, Universal Mall, in the city center.
Inside the jewelry store.
“Excuse me, which one would you like to have a look at?”
The shop assistant asked with a smile.
Ethan said, “It’s for my girlfriend.”
“What do Fou think of this ladies necklace? The heart design is understated yet sweet, perfect for young women.”
Charlie, who had no interest in these things, glanced at them briefly and then turned his head to survey the surroundings.
The next second, he excitedly shouted, “Summer!”
Ethan’s body stiffened for two seconds, and then he casually turned his head as if nothing had happened
Raina had a business banquet tonight, so she couldn’t leave the company. She asked Summer to come to the store and help her pick up a set of jewelry ordered in advance,
Summer didn’t expect to run into Ethan here.
She smiled at Charlie and greeted back, “Charlie”
“Long time no see. Have you been busy lately?” He glanced towards Ethan. “It’s a coincidence that we bumped into each other. How about having a meal together?”
