Since he was the CEO of Transcendent Group, his arrogance and domineering attitude were reasonable!

Although she knew little about this man, she knew Transcendent Group as the leading enterprise, the largest consortium in Samite City, and the lifeblood of the city. The company had investments in pretty much all the top enterprises.

When Summer was taking economics as an elective course, Transcendent Group was often cited as a case study, so she knew a thing or two.

But now, she didn't have the time to think about it. Her priority was to get out of the terrible place by seeking Howard's help. With the thought, she instantly feigned weakness and sorrow, "Sorry, Mr. Tran, it was not my intention to offend you. I've been lax in the discipline since my childhood and blunt in my speech. You're a big man with great magnanimity. You…"

"That's enough." Howard impatiently interrupted her drama.

"How are things going in the venue? And, that woman…" Howard's eyes were filled with indifference.

"The old lady felt unwell perhaps out of anger. I've asked John to take her back. Dr. Eric has been informed to wait for a diagnosis at home. Mr. Gaines has been told to handle everything in the venue."

Howard nodded his head, seemingly satisfied with the arrangement.

"But I'm afraid the old lady would not relent… if you come home alone. Before her departure, she requested you to come back to the Tran's house tonight." The man in a suit looked at Summer and said meaningfully.

Howard thought for a while, pulled Summer over, and smiled devilishly, "Take her back."

"Okay, okay!"

Whatever his intention was, she just wanted to get out of this place.

"Mark, wait for us at the underground parking lot. I'm taking her to change her clothes and get down by the dedicated elevator."

Then Howard and Summer left Grand Courtyard International. Since no one dared to stop the car of the Tran family, Summer got away from the hotel smoothly.

Not long after that, she saw a subway station by the road and spoke excitedly, "Well, Mark, right? Pull over and drop me off at the subway entrance. I can go home by myself."

The driver ignored Summer, raised his head, looked at Howard in the backseat through the rearview mirror, and waited for his instructions.

"You wanna burn the bridge?" Howard said blandly, "Veer the car and take Miss Pratt back to Grand Courtyard International."

Driven by the desire for survival, Summer said hurriedly, "No, no!" After weighing her options, she forced a smile at Howard, "Mr. Tran, you're my savior, so I'll follow your arrangements."

"Come home with me." Howard frowned slightly and spat.

"Huh? G… going home?" Summer was struck dumb.

"You just said that I'm your savior. Now I'm in trouble, shouldn't you make a little sacrifice and return the favor?" Howard's tone was frivolous.

"How do you want me… to repay you?" Summer looked at the smirking man, involuntarily held herself, and asked cautiously.

"Marry me… of course." Howard reached out, lifted her lantern jaw, and said ambiguously.

"Pervert!" Summer shoved his hand away, blushed from ear to ear, took a look at the snickering driver, and sulked.

Howard was amused by her cute look. Born with a silver spoon in her mouth, she boasted perfect appearance and figure as well as billions of family fortune.

Those women he used to come into contact with were either fair ladies or voluptuous coquettes. This was the first time that he met an innocent girl who couldn't bear the slightest tease.

Appalled by his joke, Summer lost her bearing, shut up her mouth, and looked out of the car window.

The car stopped for a while when a beep came over. Then an automatic gate opened slowly.

Only then did Summer notice it was getting dark and the car was pulled off by a fountain in a large courtyard between the door of the house and the gate of the villa.

There was a five-story white building in the courtyard. Begonia trees were planted everywhere. A large golden character 'Tran' was engraved in the middle of the gate.

When Summer looked around the big villa, her legs trembled. The courtyard wall should be around two meters high. It was not easy to climb over it and escape.
