Love Drug Novel

Chapter 133 A Fateful Encounter Finished Summer calculated her liquid assets .

For renting an office and hiring staff , 690 thousand dollars should suffice .

Once projects rolled in , Id turn a profit .

That evening , after work , Summer passed a new luxury clothing store in the mall .

Its lavish decor radiated prestige , with soft lighting gilding the merchandise .

The mall seemed cleared out , with two staff at the door .

Inside , an elderly woman in an elegant dark dress and jade necklace was flanked by servants .

The sales staff , unused to such a distinguished guest , fawned over her .

Through the glass , Summer met the old womans deep , piercing gaze .

Their eyes locked , the moment charged with unspoken weight .

Summers fingers twitched .

Soon , the Graham familys housekeeper , Karena , approached .

Ms.

Stewart , what a coincidence .

Would you join Madam Graham for a stroll ? Summer hesitated but followed her inside .

Summer showed friendliness , Madam Graham .

Helen sat on a sofa , sipping tea prepared by the staff and said , Ms.

Stewart , since Marloux joined your familys mall , more luxury brands have followed .

Summers heart twinged faintly but sharply .

Madam Graham continued to say , Since weve crossed paths , pick something you like .

Ill gift it to you .

Summer didnt browse .

Instead , she pulled out the 30 % stake document .

Madam Graham , I cant accept this .

Oh ? Helens sharp eyes glanced at the file but didnt tell anyone to take it .

Do you disdain my gift ? Summer took a deep breath .

She knew , Madam Graham had orchestrated this meeting , why else would someone of her stature visit this mall ? The Graham family had designers deliver seasonal jewelry to their doorstep .

Looking up , she said earnestly , I dont want to make a deal with you .

Helens aged face showed no emotion , her deep eyes probing Summer .

Her voice was flat .

What , taken with my grandson ? Aiming to be the Graham familys young madam ? Summers hand trembled , her eyes flickering , throat tightening .

Madam Graham .

I know my background is messy and inadequate .

I dont aspire to that role , but L.

like Fraser very much .

Im sorry , but I wont leave him .

Summer replied .

The burden on her chest eased slightly .

Summer remained true to herself , fearless in love .

Despite doubts , she chose to leap forward , Summer thought to herself , I couldnt pinpoint when I fell for Fraser , perhaps that night in the speeding car , his gaze soft , or when he shielded me , saying , Who dare bully you with me around ? This love differed from what Id felt for Trevor .

But I am certain , I loved Frasers wild , reckless spirit and I want to hold onto him .

Helens eyes glinted with ruthlessness .

Young girls are greedy these days .

If you wont take the shares , I can give them to your brother or even Margaret .

Summer stiffened .

tare Helens initial warmth vanished , replaced by authoritative steel .

Many women fancy my grandson , but are you so sure hes yours alone ? Summer paled , her insecurities hit 1/2 .

Chapter 133 A Fateful Encounter Finished Seeing Summers reaction .

Helen smiled and said .

Havenbrook knows the Graham family have an engagement , but the fiancées absence has drawn delusional suitors .

Shes been studying abroad .

The Graham Lastesh alliance will likely be announced this year .

I hope youll attend , Ms.

Stewart Supported by her servants , Helen left with steady , unhurried steps .
