Jasmine snapped back to reality and said gently, "Didn't you say it was Howard's doing? The police didn't arrest you, so it has nothing to do with you. Relax."

Summer's heart pounded with fear. "But what if he tries to lessen his guilt and pins the blame on me at the police station? And what about the Winfrey family? What if they decide that I'm involved in this? Would Uncle Bertram sacrifice me to preserve the relationship between the two families?"

Summer wasn't worried about Howard at all.

He was utterly smitten with her, so much so that at her slightest gesture, a mere curl of her finger, he would obediently follow. If she beckoned him east, he wouldn't dare venture west.

What she feared most were the members of the Winfrey family.

It was clear that they were from a prestigious family, each one of them cunning. They would easily figure out that she had instigated Howard and, thus, confront the Hoffman family and seek an explanation. Just as Jasmine was about to speak, a commotion erupted from downstairs.

Summer rushed to the window and took a quick peek. She saw a black sedan parked at the entrance of the Hoffman residence. A man stepped out from the back seat of the car. It was indeed Howard's uncle.

Howard's uncle casually glanced toward the second floor. Summer, her face as pale as a ghost, quickly withdrew her head. She clung to Jasmine's arm, sobbing. "Aunt Jasmine, the Winfrey family is here! You must save me! My parents died early. You're the only family I have left." Summer's parents tragically passed away in a car accident.

Back then, they had just arrived in Jeahron and were traveling in the car Jasmine frequently used.

Originally, Jasmine was supposed to join them in the car. However, due to an unforeseen circumstance, Jasmine suggested that Summer's parents go ahead without her.

Who would have thought that the car would have met with an accident? The vehicle was wrecked beyond recognition, and tragically, the driver, too, lost his life.

When Summer came to Jeahron, her parents had instructed her to make sure she pleased her aunt. Therefore, Summer insisted on staying with Jasmine, successfully avoiding a potential predicament.
