Chapter 295: Chapter 295

Afterward, Paige Sterling and Summer Xavier went to the mall to shop for a while.

But they didn’t expect to encounter Ryan Abbott’s mother.

Mrs. Abbott, seeing Ryan wasn’t by her side, asked, "Summer, is that you? Weren’t you with Ryan?"

Summer Xavier said, "He just had something to do, so he left early."

Mrs. Abbott’s expression stiffened slightly, knowing full well that Ryan left Summer at this time to find that little tramp.

At times like these, Mrs. Abbott hoped even more that Summer could marry into the Abbott family sooner rather than later, so that things wouldn’t reach an irrecoverable state in the future.

Summer Xavier was unaware of Mrs. Abbott’s thoughts and introduced Paige, saying, "Auntie, this is my friend Paige Sterling."

Paige Sterling? Mrs. Abbott’s eyes brightened, "So it’s Miss Sterling. I’ve long heard of your name."

In Mrs. Abbott’s view, Summer Xavier not only has good family background and strong ability but also owns profitable businesses like Aura. Most importantly, it’s well known that Summer Xavier and Paige Sterling have a good relationship. A woman like her marrying into the Abbott family would only be beneficial.

Her son, however, seemed blinded by lard, completely focused on that little tramp, heedless of his future.

Luckily, her son compromised and agreed to date Summer Xavier. If she worked harder, her son would definitely agree to marry Summer.

As for Summer marrying into the Abbott family and whether she’d be hurt upon learning these things was not something within Mrs. Abbott’s consideration.

After all, once Summer marries into the Abbott family, she becomes an Abbott. Wanting a divorce then wouldn’t be easily agreed upon, especially if they have a child. Summer leaving the Abbott family becomes even less likely. Clearly, marrying Summer is the best for the Abbott family.

Therefore, she would definitely ensure this marriage happens, not allowing any unexpected events.

Paige Sterling also politely greeted Mrs. Abbott.

Paige’s identity is not ordinary; she’s the daughter of VastReach Group’s owner and possesses remarkable ability herself. Mrs. Abbott dares not underestimate her, smilingly says, "Since we’ve met by chance today, why don’t we shop together?"

Mrs. Abbott spoke with a smile, hoping to use this opportunity to close the gap between Paige and the Abbott family, aligning the Abbott and Sterling families. Latest content publıshed on 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱

Summer Xavier glanced at Paige, thinking Paige probably doesn’t like shopping with strangers and guessing she’d find an excuse to decline and leave.

But unexpectedly, Paige was especially agreeable this time, nodding, saying, "Sure, I’ve heard Auntie is known as a fashionista. I’d love to learn some style tips from you."

Mrs. Abbott laughed heartily, clearly pleased by Paige’s compliments.

If Paige wasn’t already taken, she felt her son was more than a match for Paige.

After all, in Mrs. Abbott’s eyes, her son is the best man in the world, naturally deserving of someone better. So even if he’s entangled with the little cousin, it’s not his fault but that little tramp’s.

Mrs. Abbott evidently came out to shop with the intention of going all out, even having a driver to help carry her purchases.

She also offered Paige plenty of constructive advice, secretly lamenting how Paige, by relying on her good looks, dressed so casually when going out, nowhere like a wealthy heiress.

Paige listened to Mrs. Abbott’s advice but seldom bought things.

She kept pondering, wanting to use this opportunity to get Mrs. Abbott to spill the beans.

Summer Xavier isn’t a fool; if Mrs. Abbott said anything suspicious, Summer would surely be alerted.

Then she could investigate and find some clues, ensuring Summer’s marriage to Ryan would be impossible.

However, Paige never had the chance to mention these matters; firstly, because she didn’t know how to subtly bring them up, and secondly, this seemed inappropriate timing.

Seeing Summer and Mrs. Abbott selecting jewelry, Paige, bored, took out her phone and tapped on the screen, finally hacking into Ryan’s phone stealthily.

Seeing Mrs. Abbott’s earlier demeanor, Paige guessed Ryan left Summer to find that little cousin.

According to the timeline, this little cousin is pregnant.

Paige quickly located Ryan’s position—he was in a hospital.

Paige glanced at Summer Xavier.

Summer currently felt nothing special towards Ryan, let alone marrying. Let her know the Abbott family’s plan now, so she can withdraw in time to avoid losing money and emotions.

Paige decided without thinking, stood up, and then fell weakly to the ground.

However, the nearby attendant was always watching her, thrilled to see God Sterling in person.

So when Paige was about to fall, the attendant ran over to catch her, "God Sterling! Are you okay?"

Summer Xavier hurried over, seeing Paige pale, asked, "Paige, are you alright?"

Paige was always fierce, never seen so weak even after staying up for nights; Summer felt both heartache and worry.

Paige weakly said, "A bit dizzy..."

"I’ll take you to the hospital!"

Paige sharply noticed Mrs. Abbott’s panic when Summer mentioned going to the hospital, likely fearing Summer would run into Ryan there.

So Paige promptly said, "Just stayed up last night, might be a bit tired. Just take me home, I’ll rest a bit and be fine."

Summer nodded, saying to Mrs. Abbott, "Auntie, Paige isn’t feeling well, I’ll take her home first."

Mrs. Abbott responded, "It’s fine, Miss Sterling’s not feeling well, you should hurry."

Mrs. Abbott’s demeanor was very gentle, seemingly very approachable.

Yet just thinking of the scheme against Summer initiated by her, Paige felt her smile was like a poisoned knife.

Although a mother could do anything for her son, it’s understandable.

But because her son caused trouble, innocent girls and families shouldn’t be dragged into it. Such people, hiding malice in their hearts, are most terrifying. Naive like Summer, how can she outsmart Mrs. Abbott?

Mrs. Abbott happened to meet Paige’s gaze at this time.

Paige’s eyes seemed weak, casually glanced, yet Mrs. Abbott suddenly felt a bone-chilling fear.

She shivered, forcing a smile and said, "Shall I have my driver take you then?"

Summer shook her head, "No need, Auntie. I have a car, I’ll take Paige home."

Mrs. Abbott did not insist further, continuing to shop after Paige and Summer left.

Summer originally intended to drive Paige home, but halfway passed by the hospital Ryan was at, Paige immediately used her headache as an excuse to get Summer to take her to the hospital.

Summer, utterly worried, didn’t suspect anything, kept nagging Paige for not taking care of herself, staying up late, now dealing with the consequences, and even blamed Julian Hawthorne, thinking he hadn’t taken good care of Paige.

Paige listened to her rant and laughed.

The car stopped at the hospital entrance, and Summer helped Paige walk inside.

Paige glanced at her phone, Ryan seemed nearby, judging by the movement, he probably was about to come out of the hospital.

Nearing the entrance, Paige halted, suddenly pulling Summer aside.

Summer paused, puzzled, as Paige, formerly weak, seemed suddenly fine.

Paige said to her, "Don’t speak, look over there."
