Chapter 370: Chapter 370
Originally, Summer Xavier was watching Harrison Sheridan flaunt his intelligence with the stance of an onlooker, but at this moment, she felt that Sheridan needed a hard hit from the outside world to know what he really was.
"Mr. Sheridan, do you love Gordon Quinn or just this degenerate sensation? Or do you enjoy being cheap, and the more people tell you not to do shameless things, the more you love challenging that, just to prove you’re the most shameless one in the world? Aren’t you just grossing people out for no reason? No one owes you anything, can’t you just keep your disgusting stuff hidden?"
Sheridan’s face suddenly turned a bit green.
As the only son of the Sheridan Family, he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, always the object of flattery wherever he went.
Sometimes he even thought he was the ruler of this world, that there was nothing he couldn’t do, nothing he couldn’t get.
He was willing to marry Summer Xavier, and he believed that her presence could help him, so he also felt that Summer should be grateful to him.
But now, Summer was calling him low and shameless, disgusting even.
This woman simply didn’t know what she was talking about!
Is it because she can’t have him, so she speaks viciously, thinking she can hurt him?
Unfortunately, Sheridan didn’t care about Summer at all, so no matter what she said, he wouldn’t be angered or affected.
Summer’s wishes were doomed to fail.
"Miss Xavier, I admit I initially hid it from you, that was my mistake, and I sincerely apologize. I believe you’re not a petty person and would surely forgive me. I also hope you’d be willing to help me and Gordon, as long as you agree to marry me and bear an heir for the Sheridan Family. I can promise to give you the respect a wife deserves, even if I don’t love you. My only request is that you take good care of the child and get along with Gordon peacefully..."
This is still wanting to enjoy the best of both worlds, wanting the wife and the male mistress under the same roof.
Has he been reading too many arrogant stories?
If Paige Sterling had that kind of martial prowess, Summer would have wanted to slap him right now.
"Harrison Sheridan, not only are you pathetic, but those you love are just as pathetic."
Summer tugged at the corner of her mouth, "You talk about true love, yet you don’t have the courage to admit it, much less spend your life openly with it. And you still want to get married and have kids? What right do you have to marry and have kids? If you love each other, then spend your lives together, don’t go out and hurt others. Please don’t look for me again. I feel sick every time I see you, can’t even enjoy a meal."
Having said that, Summer really didn’t want to see Sheridan’s nauseating face anymore and got up and left.
Truth be told, Summer really hoped Sheridan and Gordon could grow old together.
However, reality proved that the more intense the true love is, the more it ends in a tabloid fashion.
In the end, Gordon was moved by Sheridan and stood in the sunlight with him.
But as he said himself, it was at the cost of abandoning his career, severing all relationships, and breaking ties with his family. Dıscover more novels at 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭·𝔣𝔦𝔯𝔢·𝗇𝗲𝘵
In the end, all he had left was love.
As for Sheridan, when his parents couldn’t control him, they simply stopped trying. Instead, they adopted policies to covertly guide him back to their expectations, introducing women around him, women so beautifully enticing that even a monk would be tempted.
Most importantly, this woman was highly cultured, able to talk about poetry, songs, and dreams, even serving as a dear confidante, comforting him when he’s upset and accompanying him when he’s happy.
Some men, inherently depraved, desperately want what they can’t have, relishing in the secret thrill of it.
Now that Sheridan and Gordon were openly together and there were no parental objections, he actually found it boring.
Yet suddenly, such a woman appeared around him. Even if Sheridan wasn’t keen on her looks, he was still drawn to her talents and aura.
Especially since, at this point, Gordon started becoming a bit anxious, neurotic, no longer the sweet little lamb, requiring Sheridan’s patient coaxing.
For a day or two, it was fine, but over time, how could the spoiled Sheridan endure days of humbling himself to soothe someone else?
Thus, the former ideal turned into a fading mark, the vows into nonsense.
Sheridan began frequently visiting this place, and every time something bothered him, a chat with this woman would clear his skies.
Gradually, he couldn’t do without her, and discovered more of her alluring features...
In the end, being together was only natural.
Sheridan felt he no longer loved Gordon Quinn, and that his orientation was finally "normal," reassuring his parents and himself.
Since he no longer loved Quinn, he thought he should set him free, using the excuse that he’d always seen Quinn as a brother to break up, completely disregarding the blow to Quinn, and went off to get married to his new beloved.
The Sheridan parents didn’t have much hope for their son now. Given the woman’s decent status, they offered little resistance to Sheridan and quickly organized the wedding.
Gordon Quinn was always the jealous type. Even when Summer and Sheridan hadn’t married, he could drive a car into her.
Now that he had given up everything to be with Sheridan, it was like a last stand.
And yet Sheridan abandoned him to marry another woman. How could he bear it?
So, Gordon began his revenge, taking the path of a domineering president’s tender spouse, first showing indifference to Sheridan’s departure and hiding away, then making a stunning impression at an event, luring Sheridan to pursue him again.
But the woman Sheridan married wasn’t a pushover either. She had the support of the Sheridan parents and knew Sheridan, beginning to devise ways to win him back.
So for a long time, this melodramatic love triangle became dinner table gossip in high society circles.
Whenever the Sheridan Family attended a banquet, they were the center of attention.
Thus, the Sheridans started to keep a low profile.
Yet, even with low profile efforts, the Sheridans occasionally made the news.
For reasons like stock drops, cash flow problems...
All the result of offending the Xavier Family...
This incident didn’t affect Summer, but at a banquet, when she ran into Ryan Abbott and his mother, she was still mocked by Ryan.
Rejected him back then, and now look, how things turned out?
Others would rather be involved with a man than be with her.
Ryan approached Summer with a smug expression, smiling shamelessly.
"Miss Xavier, why do you look so haggard?"
