CHAPTER 186: CHAPTER 186: NOT SOMEONE WHO WOULD COMMIT SUICIDE

Summer Monroe slowly took out a photograph from her pocket, turned it around, and pushed it in front of Susan Stone.

Susan Stone impatiently looked at the photograph on the table. The moment she saw clearly the person in the photo, Susan’s gaze froze.

The person in the photograph was none other than her long-deceased acquaintance—Luna Monroe.

She looked at Summer in shock, her eyes filled with disbelief.

This little vixen looks so similar to Luna in both appearance and temperament, and now she’s brought Luna’s photograph...

Could it be...?!

The next moment, Summer spoke, "It seems you do indeed know my mother."

As soon as the words were spoken, Susan’s pupils contracted into a black dot out of shock.

"You—" she pointed at Summer’s face in disbelief, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long while.

It was still Summer who calmly nodded, "You didn’t mishear. I am indeed Luna Monroe’s daughter. My name is Summer."

Three exclamation marks appeared in Susan Stone’s mind, "!!!"

She had asked the housekeeper many things about Summer but never about her name.

If she had known earlier that the girl across the table was named Summer, she might have guessed this much sooner.

After a while, Susan finally calmed down from the shock, swallowed hard, and asked, "Weren’t you abducted by traffickers ten years ago?"

At that time, she felt regretful that Luna Monroe had died, and her only daughter was missing. She even helped look for her, but because her own family’s situation was too chaotic at the time, she didn’t have much energy to spare, and the search eventually led nowhere.

Summer nodded slightly and said, "Yes, later I was saved by kind-hearted people, but due to a high fever, I lost my memory and never found my way home. I only returned to the Stanton Family recently. After I came back, there were so many things to handle, and now I’ve finally had the chance to meet you, Aunt Susan."

Susan Stone’s emotions were complex.

She had previously been calling Summer a little vixen but never expected Summer to be her former best friend’s daughter. This was just too...

But it was as if Summer could guess what she was thinking, and she said generously, "You don’t have to feel sorry. You didn’t know who I was before, so I understand that reaction. Also, if you dislike me because you thought I was sent as a bedmate to Damian Knight, I can explain that it was an accident. Nothing happened between Damian and me. We are just friends, so you don’t need to worry that I’m trying to marry into the Knight Family."

Susan Stone’s face felt a bit warm.

A younger person could be so understanding, while she as an elder appeared narrow-minded.

Susan pursed her lips, then spoke, "I apologize for my previous rudeness. You mentioned you had three questions to ask me, which three? Go ahead and ask."

Now, Susan looked at Summer with completely different eyes.

Summer slightly tightened her palm and asked, "Was my mother’s death really just a simple suicide?"

Susan abruptly looked at Summer, her eyes deepening in color.

She scrutinized Summer deeply, then asked, "Are you suspecting your dad and Stella?"

Summer nodded, "That’s right."

Susan sighed and said, "I also suspected it, so I secretly investigated later... Unfortunately, I found nothing. Either they covered it too well, or it wasn’t them at all."

Summer’s expression turned serious, furrowing her brows, she said, "But if it wasn’t them, I can’t think of anyone else who would harm my mom. From the way you speak, it’s clear you also understand that my mom wasn’t the type to commit suicide."
