The Epic Blind Date with My Boss

Chapter 835 The Grievances Of Summer 

Clearly, Summer was unwilling to accept.

She kept her head bowed. Mark said in a low and authoritative voice, “What do you plan to do? Is it appropriate for a married woman to mingle with other men outside?” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

He earnestly advised his daughter, whom he had raised with tender care, “No matter what, apologize to Arnold. That will put this matter to rest.”

Summer let out a deep sigh and suddenly pulled out the IV from her wrist. “Why should I apologize? He doesn’t care about me. Why are you so concerned?”

The sudden surge of hostility caught everyone present by surprise. Mark stood up abruptly. “Why are you speaking to me in this manner? Can’t I have a say in this?”

Arnold immediately pulled out a tissue to press against the blood that was gushing from her. “Sum!”

“Have you ever cared about me? Since I was young, all your attention has been on Liana. When have you ever cared about me? I’ve been abroad for years. Do you know how I’ve managed? Have you ever cared?” Summer’s emotions ran high, and her pale face grew even paler.

Mark leaned on his cane, took a few paces back, and watched the scene unfold before him in disbelief.

“Do you have any idea how I used to clutch my dolls and wait for both of you to come home when I was a child? But all you ever talk about in front of me is the missing Liana!” Summer burst out in frustration.

Leaning against the wall, Josie listened to the intense commotion inside and felt a bit agitated all of a sudden. She wanted to smoke a cigarette, but there were none in her pocket.

“Now that she’s back, you can’t wait to hand over the entire Olsen family to her. What about me? I have worked so hard for the past two years. Does it mean nothing to you? Am I not your daughter too?”

“That’s outrageous!” Claudia rebuked angrily, “Haven’t we treated you well enough? We’ve provided you with resources and connections. All of you are my daughters. How could there be any difference!”

Claudia seldom got angry. Heather patted her back. “Mother, Sum is just upset right now. Don’t take it to heart. Let her vent her anger, and she’ll be fine!”

“Shut up. It’s not your place to speak,” Summer suddenly said softly as she looked at Heather.

The latter pursed her lips and lowered her head.

It was precisely those words that completely infuriated Mark. With a swift raise of his hand, he delivered a slap!

The entire room fell silent.

Arnold stood protectively in front of Summer. “Father-”

Mark covered his chest with a look of disappointment as if he was upset with someone’s inability to meet his expectations. “Tell me,” he said, “I gave you the authority, didn’t I? But what did you do? You lost one project after another. Zach and Laura are doing much better than you. Who can you blame for this? Before Liana returned, we were just as accommodating to you. How can you now vent your frustrations on her? She has been wandering outside for so many years. She is the last person who should be blamed!”

After listening, Summer swept her gaze over everyone. “So it’s all my fault, is it? Then why did you save me? You should have just let me die!”

“Enough!” Arnold pressed Summer down and took the lead to calm her down before saying, “Sum is emotionally unstable. Let her calm down on her own. Please understand, Father and Mother.”

Mark glared at Summer for a long while. Finally, he pulled Heather with him and left the room.

Summer watched as the group of people walked away. When her gaze met that burning stare, she withdrew as if shocked by electricity.,

After a moment, Arnold also stepped out and closed the door behind him.

“Sum won’t calm down anytime soon. Arnold has had a tough time lately,” remarked Dexter as he leaned lazily to one side.

“Spouses should always compromise with each other. If everyone is as casual as Dexter, they might as well not get married,” Arnold said with a soft chuckle.

Everyone knew what he meant.
