If you won't help us , can't I find another way out ? " " A way out ? I'm your daughter . As long as I'm Mrs. Luke , the Summers family will never fall . So what if we're temporarily bankrupt now ? Didn't you hear what Jensen said just now ? As long as I'm Mrs. Luke , the Summers family will be safe ." Sharon's words left Mrs. Summers speechless .
Jensen had treated both the family and Sharon so harshly before - it wasn't unreasonable for her to worry . But now , if Jensen could be persuaded to spare the Summers family for Sharon's sake , she no longer wanted to risk exposing her daughter . Mrs. Summers swallowed hard . " I was just anxious , that's all . Didn't you see how your father's hair turned white overnight ? If the Summers family collapses , even as Mrs. Luke , will anyone still respect you ? How long do you think you can keep up the act of being terminally ill ? Once the truth comes out , what then ?
Jensen could crush you with a single finger ! " " And if the Summers family survives , what real help can you give me ? Didn't Jensen already drive you to bankruptcy once ? " Sharon's words cut deep , nearly taking Mrs. Summers's breath away . " That's only because we tied everything to Luke Corp. When Jensen struck , we had no way to fight back . But your father's heard about a rising foreign company . We're planning to work with them . Jensen's reach won't extend overseas . Even if your secret is exposed one day , the Summers family will be there to protect you .
Sharon , without your family behind you , you won't last . " Her words cooled Sharon's murderous thoughts . She was right . Jensen's moods were unpredictable . If the truth about her fake cancer came out , Sharon couldn't be sure she could control him . The Summers family still had its uses . After all , she was their blood . Sharon frowned slightly . " Is that company reliable ? " 1/3 +10 Free Coins Chapter 102 The Leverage " Very . Your father already looked into it . But investing in their project will take a lot of money .
Back then , all our funds were tied up with Luke Corp , so we couldn't act . Now that Jensen wants to make it up to you , get some money from him for us . Once the Summers family rises again , we'll be your strongest support . " Mrs. Summers sighed and pressed on . " Sharon , you're my daughter . Of course I want you to live well . But the Summers family is your foundation . You can't lose it , and you can't let it fall . Help us stand again , and I swear no one will ever be able to bully you . " She knew Sharon was selfish , but she was still her child .
Natalie was gone now - this was the only daughter she had left . If she could draw Sharon back to her side , she still hoped for some semblance of a mother - daughter bond . Sharon wasn't stupid ; she knew where her advantage lay . She nodded . " I'll find a way to get the money . But before that , you're not allowed to go to Jensen again . And Mom , are you really planning to give him Natalie's swaddles ? Aren't you afraid he'll use them to track down her real parents ? " Mrs. Summers's face drained of color . Sharon narrowed her eyes .
" Mom , do you know something about Natalie's background ? I was the one who got switched at birth , so logically Natalie should've been that peasant woman's child . But the DNA test proved otherwise . Her identity has never been investigated . For five years , she was blinded by love , thinking Jensen was all she needed . Why didn't you investigate ? Why weren't you curious ? " For a moment , Mrs. Summers's eyes flickered with panic , then she smoothed it away . " She wasn't my daughter anymore. Why should I care who her parents are ? If she didn't bother to look , why would I ?
" With that , she turned and walked off , her pace betraying a hint of retreat . Sharon's eyes narrowed further . She had the feeling her mother knew something . But with Natalie dead , she couldn't be bothered to dig further . Back home , Mrs. Summers pulled out a few of Natalie's old school design awards . Sharon glanced at them and curled her lip . " Mom , you raised Natalie so well , but she never contributed to the Summers family . Meanwhile , I , the daughter you lost , am the one holding everything together .
