No matter how unhappy and resentful Summer was toward Raine, she kept it polite when talking to her." Thank you, Aunt. But I don't need it.”
Likewise, Raine was resentful of Summer, but her expression remained the same, except for the slightly more serious tone of voice when she spoke.
"Well then, you had better remember to keep a distance from those men around you."
Summer was pissed by what Rained said, but she fought back her anger. "I know. I will keep that in mind."
Raine furrowed her brows upon hearing Summer's reply. "Since you know, why did you still do that?"
She looked at Raine puzzledly. "Can you please be more specific about what I have done?"
"The newspaper headlines have caused a squabble in the Valentine mansion. Shouldn't you keep your distance and control your own behavior?" Raine's voice slightly deepened as she was displeased with Summer’s behavior.
Because of the headline news in the newspaper, the relationship between Yvette and Jazz had gone sour, and there had been a rift between Yvette and Mark,
too. A gloomy atmosphere was engulfing the Valentine mansion.
Should Summer feel guilty and keep her distance from that man?
It was already so late, but she still asked the man to send her home and came outside the apartment. If they were photographed by the media again, there would be another round of hoo-ha.
The incident had damaged the image of Mark and of the Valentine family in Santabaca.
"I am really curious to know where Aunt stands when you tell me this." Summer looked at Raine with a faint smile, her words reeking of cynicism as she pointed out Raine's hypocrisy.
