Chapter 397: Only a Tool

Summer picked up a baby onesie and asked Yvette, โ€œWhat do you think of this one?โ€

Yvette wasnโ€™t familiar with baby clothes, but the little bunnies on it were adorable. โ€œItโ€™s cute.โ€

Summer tossed the onesie into her shopping basket and kept browsing. Then she spotted an adorable little dress shirt, complete with a tiny gentlemanโ€™s bowtie.

โ€œHow about this one?โ€

Yvette glanced from the girlโ€™s outfit Summer had picked up earlier to this one for a boy. Her curiosity got the best of her.

โ€œSo, do you think itโ€™s a boy or a girl? Youโ€™re this far alongโ€”have you done a scan?โ€

A soft maternal glow lit up Summerโ€™s face. She smiled warmly. โ€œI havenโ€™t checked. Fraser says he hopes itโ€™s a girl.โ€

Yvette burst out laughing. โ€œSummer, seriouslyโ€”do you even realize how many times youโ€™ve mentioned Fraser since we started shopping?โ€

โ€œDid I?โ€

โ€œOf course you did! Want me to count? Youโ€™re giving full-on, blisssed-out-wife energy right now.โ€

Summerโ€™s cheeks flushed pink.

They paid and strolled out of the mall at a leisurely pace. Just ahead, the towering Graham Group building came into view.

Yvette teased, โ€œThey say Graham Group is a Havenbrook landmark. As the CEOโ€™s wife, Summer, canโ€™t you give me a little tour? Maybe do a surprise check-in while weโ€™re at it?โ€

Summer had only ever been to Graham Group either to ask Fraser for help or when he brought her himself. Other than that, she hadnโ€™t gone.

โ€œFraserโ€™s probably busy. Itโ€™s not really the best time.โ€

โ€œWhat do you mean? Youโ€™re Mrs. Graham now. Come on!โ€

Summer couldnโ€™t win the argument and ended up getting dragged along by Yvette.

From the moment Yvette stepped into Graham Groupโ€™s lobby, she was floored by the sheer opulence. Everyone working there recognized Summer and greeted her with deep respect.

The two made their way easily to the executive elevator, which took them all the way to the top floor.

Something about this surprise visit made Summer uneasy. She turned to Yvette. โ€œMaybe we should head back. We can come another time.โ€

Yvette, giddy with excitement, pulled her out of the elevator. โ€œWeโ€™re already here! Just think of it as giving Fraser a surprise. Plus, Iโ€™ve always wanted to see what a billionaire CEOโ€™s office looks like.โ€

When the secretarial staff saw Summer approach, they all stood up in unison and greeted her respectfully: โ€œGood afternoon, Madam Graham.โ€

Summer waved them off. โ€œCarry on. Donโ€™t mind us.โ€

And just like that, the two of them stood at the office door. Summer raised her hand to knock. But from inside, voices drifted out.

โ€œMy dear nephew, I heard you gave that woman twenty percent of Graham Groupโ€™s shares. She must mean a great deal to you, hmm?โ€

A slow, cold laugh followed. Fraserโ€™s deep voice was devoid of any emotion, just a dismissive scoff.

โ€œWomen are all the same. Her only value is in continuing the Graham bloodline. Once she delivers the next generation, sheโ€™ll have no more use.โ€

โ€œHa! Well said, Fraser! To do great things, one mustnโ€™t be weighed down by petty emotions. Once that great-nephew of mine is born, Iโ€™ll make sure to send a generous gift as your uncle.โ€

Summerโ€™s raised hand slowly lowered. Next to her, Yvette had heard every word. She froze, then started trembling with fury. Her chest heaved as she stepped forward, ready to burst through the door.

But Summer grabbed her wrist.

Yvetteโ€™s voice shook with rage. โ€œSummer, let me go! What the hell did Fraser just say? What does he mean by that? What does he mean just for the bloodline?!โ€

Summerโ€™s voice was calm. โ€œLetโ€™s go home.โ€

โ€œNo way! I donโ€™t care if heโ€™s Havenbrook royaltyโ€”how dare he say something like that?โ€

Each word from Summer was steady and deliberate. Seeing the pale look on her friendโ€™s face, Yvette backed down in alarm.

Summer was far along. The baby could come any day now. She couldnโ€™t afford any emotional shocks right now.

โ€œOkay, okay, fine. Donโ€™t get worked up. Weโ€™ll go back, just like you said.โ€

Yvette wanted nothing more than to slap herself. Why had she insisted on dragging Summer to Graham Group? If they hadnโ€™t come, none of this wouldโ€™ve happened. Noโ€”this wasnโ€™t her fault.

How could Fraser say something so heartless? Did he really see Summer as nothing more than a baby machine?

Back at the Starlight Compound, Summer slowly made her way to the piano. She stood there, fingers brushing the black and white keys. A scattered, uneven melody began to emerge from her hands, one note at a time.
