Chapter 48: True Love

“You’ve been with Trevor for so many years, yet you’re still such a failure. Now you can’t even handle Peyton. Trevor is the president of The Larson Group. He’s bound to have more than one woman in the future. If you want to be his wife, the first thing you need to do is swallow your pride.”

Summer immediately found this both amusing and speechless.

“Madam Foster, if I remember correctly, years ago, Trevor’s father, Michael Larson, had an affair with a famous actress. But you deliberately hired people to smear her reputation, exposing her as a homewrecker, and she was ruined in the entertainment industry. That actress was even pregnant. You even went so far as to hire people to force her to miscarry. You were also the lady of the Larson family, but your actions didn’t look like ‘swallowing your pride’ to me.”

Summer spoke in the gentlest tone while dropping the most explosive revelation. Her words were like a sharp blade, tearing apart the filthy past that Scarlett had tried to bury.

Scarlett trembled with rage. “Summer, you… you wretched woman! What nonsense are you spewing? I will make sure Trevor abandons you. Just you wait!”

“That would be for the best. Being his wife seems like such a demanding role. I’m not qualified. It should be left to someone who needs it.”

With that, Summer turned to leave, leaving behind a group of stunned socialites.

Scarlett was so furious her head felt like it was about to explode.

“Was that really Summer just now? Has she lost her mind? How dare she talk to you like that?”

Scarlett’s eyes blazed with fury. “She is insane! I’ll make sure she regrets it! Trevor will break up with that woman, and from now on, none of you are to call her my daughter-in-law, or you’ll be going against me!”

Caleb’s mother blinked. “Scarlett, about that actress Summer mentioned… Did you really do that back then?”

Scarlett was livid. “I already said she was talking nonsense!”

The Larson Group.

“Step aside!”

“Madam Larson, Mr. Larson is in a meeting. Why don’t you wait in his office for a while?” Andrew followed closely behind.

“Do I need an announcement just to see Trevor?”

The doors of the conference room were soon pushed open. Scarlett stood outside, handbag in hand, looking displeased.

In his words, the senior executives immediately grabbed their notebooks and left.

Andrew silently shut the door, leaving the mother and son alone.

“What’s so urgent?” Trevor’s tone was unreadable. He was used to Scarlett’s overbearing ways.

Scarlett stepped forward and placed her handbag on the conference table. “What’s going on with you and Summer?”

Trevor’s brows furrowed.

“I ran into her at the mall today, and she had the audacity to be rude to me! I’ve said before that she lacks proper upbringing. Even her biological parents, Julia and the others, don’t value her, why should you? Thankfully, you’re only engaged and not married yet. Just pretend this never happened. I’ll find you a proper young lady from a respectable family. Also, stay away from Peyton. She left you for Ameros, got into an accident, and now suddenly has some illness? What a pathetic excuse to crawl back to you! These women are all schemers, each one worse than the last!”

Trevor’s face darkened with impatience. “Mom, stay out of my relationships.”

“Stay out? How can I?! You’re the sole heir of the Larson family. Your wife determines the future of The Larson Group! I never liked Summer from the start. It was you who insisted she was persistent, so I tolerated her. But now her true colors are showing. Break up with her today.”

Trevor’s tone was edged with anger. “I won’t.”

“Why? After everything she’s done, you still won’t break up with her? Trevor, have you lost your mind?”

Trevor stood up, unwilling to listen any longer.

“As the heir of the Larson family, I’ll do what I must. But my marriage is none of your concern. And stop bothering Summer.”

With that, Trevor walked out of the conference room, leaving Scarlett alone.

“Trevor! Trevor… How am I the one bothering her? She’s the one who embarrassed me in public today!”

Scarlett had come here expecting to put Summer in her place. She hadn’t expected Trevor to refuse to break up and even accuse her of causing trouble.

Summer must have done something to bewitch Trevor!

Trevor called Andrew over. “Has Linden, the Belvare wedding designer, finished the wedding gown?”

Andrew nodded. “Yes. Belvare’s next season jewelry collection, ‘True Love,’ including the ring and necklace, has also been auctioned off. We’re just waiting for Ms. Stewart to try on the dress and jewelry.”

The “True Love” set had once been worn by a Belvare princess in the old era. Acquiring it had cost a staggering six million dollars.
