Chapter 105: Chapter 105: A Secret Comparison

Gregory Lancaster smiled and agreed, telling Summer Lancaster that she and Kenneth Yates should come home to visit often whenever they had time.

Yvonne Lancaster and Audrey Adler were only held for a short while at the police station before being released. Afterwards, the two were quite pleased with themselves, both assuming Gregory Lancaster had pulled some strings to get them freed so quickly. The reality, however, was that his company had become little more than an empty shell, and no one was willing to do business with him anymore.

Back in the hospital room, Summer Lancaster’s mood seemed to have lightened a little. The knot in her heart had finally been untied.

“Kenneth, do you think I did the right thing?” Summer Lancaster asked, looking hesitantly at Kenneth Yates.

“Everyone sees things from a different perspective. Some people believe family comes first, while others prioritize their own interests. You’re not dealing with a business situation, so you did the right thing. You were lenient with people who plotted against you, in the hopes that they’ll change their ways. Otherwise, I’ll personally teach them how to behave next time!”

Summer Lancaster scratched her head. ’It was a simple question, so why did he give such a long speech? I don’t understand a word of it.’

Summer Lancaster went back to playing on her phone, ignoring his “long-winded speech.”

“Hey, do you remember Audrey?”

“I don’t,” Kenneth Yates replied without looking at her.

Summer Lancaster snatched the newspaper from his hands, her eyes wide with fury. “You’re just brushing me off! How could you not remember!”

Kenneth Yates looked completely baffled. “I really don’t remember. Is she from our company?”

Summer Lancaster threw her phone at him in a huff. “See for yourself! It’s that woman who threw coffee on me. She’s quitting the entertainment industry now!” Kenneth Yates took her phone and glanced at it, finally recalling who she was. The screen displayed a news headline: “Audrey in Disgrace, Quits Show Business.” Below it was a photo of her looking utterly dejected.

“Oh,” Kenneth Yates said nonchalantly, putting the phone down and going back to his newspaper.

“What do you mean, ’oh’? Do you have any idea how arrogant she was back then? She thought she was invincible with your patronage. She even went out of her way to tell me that the title of Mrs. Yates would be hers sooner or later. But her reputation was already bad back then, so it’s only natural she’d end up in this situation.” Summer Lancaster shot a sideways glance at Kenneth’s expression; he still wore that same ’none-of-my-business’ look.

“I never gave her any patronage. She was just one of the many women who came and went,” Kenneth Yates said, not paying much mind to her words. ’That’s all in the past. What’s the point of bringing it up now?’

Summer Lancaster suddenly grabbed his arm. “I still remember you told me to get her a coffee, but I refused, and you totally chewed me out for it.”

Kenneth Yates finally put down his newspaper. He stroked her head and smiled indulgently. “I’m surprised you have such a good memory. I’d almost forgotten about that. So, what are you getting at?”

Summer Lancaster’s eyes glinted mischievously. “How about you get me a coffee?”

“Not a chance!” Kenneth Yates shook her arm off and picked his newspaper back up. “If you want coffee, have Fletcher get it. I’m busy!”

Summer Lancaster’s expression instantly fell. Staring at his face, she said, “So I’m worth less than a fleeting fancy, huh? The life of a wealthy man’s wife truly is pitiful! I want to be discharged. There’s just no communicating with you.” Seeing he still had no reaction, Summer Lancaster leaned closer and added, “I’m leaving tomorrow! Hmph!” With that, she tried to get out of bed, but Kenneth Yates forcefully pulled her into his arms.

“I’m getting discharged tomorrow, too. This hospital is boring as hell, isn’t it, wifey?” His eyes, however, clearly suggested more than just that. Summer Lancaster blushed slightly and pushed him away.
