CHAPTER 16: CHAPTER 16 YOU HAVE NO SHAME

Summer Sutton’s gaze crossed over her, staring coldly at William Sutton beside her, his chilly expression sent shivers down her heart.

Ha, this is her biological uncle!

Unwilling to engage with the father-daughter pair, she bent down and got into Adrian Walyon’s car.

The car door slammed shut with a loud bang afterwards, arrogantly dismissing the people outside.

Gina Sutton trembled with anger.

Who does Summer Sutton think she is, daring to ignore her?

Actually, Adrian was the one who closed the door; as for Summer, she barely acknowledged Gina’s mood.

What enraged Gina Sutton even more was that when Adrian’s car sped away, it seemingly deliberately drove past Gina, stirring up fallen leaves along with splashes of water.

Gina Sutton’s face and clothes were drenched with water and covered in leaves, her meticulously applied makeup now looking utterly disheveled.

"Summer Sutton!" Clenching her teeth, she watched the departing car, her face dark with rage.

...

Adrian Walyon’s car had just left the school when Summer Sutton received a call from Gina Sutton.

"What’s up?" Summer held her phone, and as soon as the call connected, Gina began to shout, "Summer Sutton, what makes you think you’re something special? Don’t think just because you’ve hooked up with a rich man you’re amazing. You’re so young, yet you’ve started fooling around with men? Your personal life is so chaotic, you shamelessly disgrace the Sutton Family! From now on, don’t even say your surname is Sutton when you go out. You might not feel shame, but I can’t afford to lose face!"

She rattled off a barrage of words, her volume cranked high, things she had long wanted to say, finally catching the chance today.

Without giving her a chance to respond, Gina finished yelling and hung up the phone.

Summer Sutton was stunned by her shouting.

Hooked up with a man? Chaotic personal life?

Is that how she views her?

Ever since meeting her and William today, Summer’s heart had felt off.

Hearing these words now, it felt like a scar on her chest was being torn open, causing extreme pain.

How could she say such things about her?

After grandfather passed away, Summer was left unaccompanied. These past few years have indeed been tough for her.

To pay for her education, she started working part-time while studying even before she became an adult, sometimes rushing to multiple part-time jobs in a single day.

Many times, she was rejected due to her young age, not meeting hiring standards.

But even in the most helpless and destitute times, she conducted herself with integrity, never once betraying herself!

How dare Gina speak this way about her?

Everything Summer has today is all thanks to the Sutton Family!

Summer Sutton’s mood plunged to rock bottom, the atmosphere in the car was extremely oppressive.

On the way back to the villa, Adrian Walyon drove silently, Summer didn’t say a word.

After getting out of the car, Adrian walked ahead, while she didn’t act playfully with him like she did in the morning.

She followed him solemnly with her head down, unusually quiet.

Adrian entered the house first, uncomfortable with the atmosphere, he turned on the TV as soon as they were in the living room.

Originally intending to lighten the mood between them, but unexpectedly, the screen immediately displayed news about the Sutton Family.

This news was more formal, reporting the Sutton Company’s recent quarterly performance.

Summer Sutton’s gaze was fixed on the performance chart, staring at the sharply declining curve, her mood felt like it was wrapped in an additional layer of frost.
