Chapter 490

Summer could hardly believe Frank had hung up on her.

He had never been the one to end their calls first. Every time they had spoken before, she had always been the one to hang up.

But now, he had actually hung up on her?

Because of Stella’s pressure, Summer already had nowhere to vent the anger in her chest. Now that Frank had hung up on her, her fury burned even hotter.

She called him again.

But the call only rang once before it was cut off.

“He’s actually rejecting my calls?”

Summer’s emotions were already spiraling. Seeing Frank treat her like this made her anger surge straight to her

head.

She called again.

This time, an automated voice informed her that the phone had been turned off.

Hearing that cold mechanical voice, Summer finally lost control. She shot to her feet and swept everything off the nightstand.

When Mrs. Mendes came in, a glass shattered right beside her foot.

Her expression darkened instantly. “What are you doing now?”

She had come to tell Summer to go do her work.

Just now, Mrs. Mendes had spoken to Ruby on the phone. After hearing about the current situation at the Wright estate, Ruby had also told Summer to give in for now and stop being so stubborn.

Ruby had even promised to raise Mrs. Mendes’s pay. That was why Mrs: Mendes was willing to look after Summer a little more.

But looking after her was one thing.

It did not mean she would let Summer throw tantrums and make more work for her.

Her old bones could not take it.

Seeing Summer like this, Mrs. Mendes’s face turned stern.

“He won’t answer my calls. He actually won’t answer my calls. What right does he have to ignore me? Has he forgotten how much I’ve done for him?”

“If the Holland family can stand where it does in Harbour City today…”

“My dear Miss, what are you saying? Hush!”

Before Summer could finish, Mrs. Mendes clapped a hand over her mouth.

Did she not know what kind of situation they were in right now? How could she still dare mention Frank here?

Summer had a ball of fire trapped in her chest.

Thinking of Frank’s attitude just now, she could not suppress that anger no matter what.

She gritted her teeth. “What right does Frank have to treat me like that? What is he trying to do? Is he planning to discard me now that I’m no longer useful? If that’s what he thinks, I won’t let him get away with it!”

At this moment, Summer was furious beyond reason.

Mrs. Mendes’s expression darkened even more.

“What you need to do right now is get through this crisis at the Wright estate first.”

As for Frank…

What could Summer even do about him now?

After thinking for a moment, Mrs. Mendes added, “Miss Rowan is waiting for you to make a mistake. You were just exposed in front of Mr. Wright. Don’t create any more trouble now.”

The reason Mrs. Mendes was still willing to remind Summer was simple.

When she had worked for the Bailey family, she had also done many vicious things for Summer.

If Summer lost her composure and completely exposed herself, Mrs. Mendes was afraid she would be dragged

down too.

Summer fell silent.

It would have been fine if Mrs. Mendes had not mentioned Evan.

But the moment she did, Summer thought of what Frank had said on the phone.

Evan was investigating the timeline of her contact with Frank.

Her heart shot into her throat.

“Frank just told me that Evan is investigating me and him. Do you think Evan really would?”

Mrs. Mendes’s expression changed drastically.

“What? Mr. Wright is investigating? That…”

Summer said, “Evan clearly believed me. Just like before, between Stella and me, he chose to believe me.”

“But Frank said he’s investigating me and him. How is that possible?”

Summer did not quite believe it.

But then she thought of Evan himself.

Like Steven, his mind had always been hard to read.

And that made her fear Frank might be telling the truth.
