“I fell in love with her when I was only fifteen! But the old master thought I should prioritize my studies. Do you know what he advised me?”
Clyde Summers sneered coldly. “He said, ‘Clyde, you are the child I value the most, the future of the Summers family rests on your shoulders. Every minute of your youth is precious; you should spend your time on your studies, not on meaningless things. Dad knows you like Ms. Blanc, but Clyde, a man’s affection should not be so superficial. You need to grow stronger and work harder. In the future, when you have enough strength to provide for her, that will be true affection.'”
“He made sense, didn’t he?” The corners of Clyde’s eyes brimmed with intense hatred and rage. “I foolishly believed him. I studied hard, learned diligently. I wanted to become an excellent successor, to give her the best life in the future. But do you know? Just two months after he said those words of advice, I saw him and Atra Blanc sitting in the garden, and out of his mouth… he recited love poems, line by line!”
“Bastard!” Clyde shouted angrily, as if once again infuriated by the scenes from his memories. “From that mouth that spouted so much seemingly sensible and righteous rhetoric, he recited verse after verse of affectionate love poems. That’s the truly revolting thing!”
Atra Blanc had a treasured notebook; it was her prized possession. It was filled with many lines of poetry, all of which Old Master Summers had recited to her—some were from famous poets, others he had composed himself.
Purple Summers had heard Atra Blanc mention it.
The Old Master Summers known in the rumors not only lived a refined life but was also a romantic. Such a man could easily fascinate a young girl with little experience.
Setting aside what kind of person Old Master Summers was, the fact that Atra Blanc married him was undeniable. Regardless, Clyde’s actions were against the ethics of human relations and still despicable.
But to the fifteen-year-old Clyde, his father’s actions were a deception that not only caused hurt but also brought irreconcilable shame!
Clyde said to Purple Summers, “Atra Blanc followed the old master, without even a marriage certificate. She only had a few good years before the old master fell ill and was bedridden, never to rise again. She had to attend to his waste, clean him, turn him over, feed him, give him his medicine, suction his phlegm… all until the old master died. She still didn’t gain her freedom. She started widowhood before thirty and has remained so until today.
Purple Summers, you can take her back, back to that cage, where she can continue living like a walking corpse, holding onto the memory of the old master. Is this the life you want her to live?”
Purple Summers’s face turned ashen, and she remained silent.
Clyde glanced down at his wristwatch and said, “Give it some thought. At 12 o’clock I will be waiting in my room. If by then you still insist on taking her away, I won’t stop you.”
After saying all this, Clyde opened the door and walked straight out.
When he left, he encountered Alexander Summers in the corridor. The two had just had a fight the previous day, and now, running into each other so suddenly, their faces immediately showed wariness.
Fearing that they would start a fight in public, Purple Summers quickly grabbed Alexander, signaling for him to return to his room first.
“What did he come for?” Alexander asked immediately upon entering the room.
“He…” Purple Summers thought back to everything Clyde had said and didn’t know where to start. “He wants to take mom away. He wants us to consider it…”
Alexander then sneered, “Is there even anything to consider?”
There was nothing to consider. Even if Clyde spun tales of falsehoods, as long as Atra Blanc didn’t willingly agree, Alexander would take his mother away.
Purple Summers felt the same way.

But the words Clyde had just spoken created a significant obstacle in her mind.
Atra Blanc was a stubborn woman. She and Old Master Summers had never been officially married nor lived as husband and wife, yet she had remained loyal for so many years and would continue to do so indefinitely. This was already unbearable for Purple Summers, and now Atra Blanc had been deceived by Clyde…
Purple Summers collapsed onto the bed dispiritedly.
How on earth was she supposed to explain all this to Atra Blanc?!
