Chapter 624
Chapter 624
Images flashed through her mind of the way Frank had once treated her.
When Frank was good to her, he had truly been good.
Back then, every time they finished meeting at a hotel, he would whisper by her ear, “I don’t want you to go back. Just thinking about you going back and sleeping beside Steven again makes my heart ache p>
He had also said, “Remember this. No matter where you are, you are mine.
“When things end with Steven, you’ll belong to me completely p>
Those words echoed in her ears as if they had been spoken only yesterday.
But now…
It had all become a joke.
Once, Frank had been something beautiful to Summer. As long as she was with him, everything had felt sweet.
People were truly like that.
The more they could not have something, the more desperately they wanted it.
And now…
He was actually telling her to sleep with Evan.
On the other end of the line, when Frank heard Summer stay silent, he continued, “Didn’t you want to be with Eyan? Don’t tell me all those things you did before were just an act. You really did want to be with him, didn’t you p>
Summer said, “Do you even know what you’re saying? You’re asking me to sell myself p>
“You’ve already sold yourself once. What difference does one more time make p>
Summer said nothing.
She had already sold herself once?
Was he talking about Steven?
Yes. Being with Steven, wasn’t that Frank selling her out?
He had said he had a big plan for the Wright family and told her to find a way to marry Steven.
That time, he had been the one who said he had a plan for the Wright family.
Why…
Why was he calling it selling herself now?
“You… Frank, you’re not even human p>
Summer could hardly believe that the relationship between her and Frank had suddenly become so ugly.
Once, she had clearly believed that it was a sacrifice she had made for Frank.
But now, from his mouth, how had it become selling herself?

“What exactly do you take me for p>
Frank said, “What I take you for doesn’t matter. What do you think you are? With a mother like yours, what else could you possibly be p>
Summer said nothing.
Her heart sank to the bottom again.
The cold wind was already freezing enough.
But Frank’s words over the phone were even colder than the wind, like icy blades cutting into her heart one slice at a time.
“Summer, I’m telling you now. If the Holland family is finished this time, then you and I are finished too p>
After saying that, Frank hung up first, furious.
Summer listened to the beeping on the other end of the line.
In the dim light, there was not a trace of color left on her face.
Frank.
Frank.
That name had once been her obsession.
When she married Steven, she had been so unwilling.
She had believed Frank was her true love.
Again and again, she had resented fate for being unfair. Why hadn’t Frank been the one standing at the top?
If he had been, she would not have had to marry Steven.
But now…
She finally understood.
Some people were simply not worthy of standing at the top.
A man like Frank did not deserve it at all.
After a full day of exhaustion, Summer did not know how she managed to swallow that dry, hard bun.
Nor did she know how she forced down that bowl of cold water.
By the time she returned to the basement, Dora, Fiona, and Mrs. Mendes had already gone back.
The instant Summer stepped inside, a basin of water was dumped over her head.
Splash.
She had been outside on the phone with Frank for a long time, and the cold wind had already drained every bit of warmth from her body.
Now, with this basin of cold water poured over her, it felt as if even the gaps between her bones had frozen solid.

Soaked from head to toe, she stood miserably at the doorway.
Dora sat on the bed with her arms crossed over her chest.
“You bitch. What happened? Frank doesn’t want you anymore p>
Dora had heard Summer’s phone call outside just now.
