Love Drug Novel

Chapter 16 Even If He Dies , Ill Just Call 911 ! Trevor didnt respond , but his silence was enough of an answer .

49 Finished- Caleb had always preferred Summer over Peyton .

Over the years , he had seen firsthand how much she had done for Trevor how much she had loved him .

But every time Peyton played the weak , helpless card , Trevor never pushed her away .

Maybe it was because Summers unconditional love had spoiled him .

Caleb believed Trevor actually loved Summer more than he even realized .

He had just grown too used to her .

Caleb pulled out his phone , opened WhatsApp , and called Summer , The dial tone rang .

Summer lay in bed , absentmindedly rubbing the crystal bracelet in her fingers .

She had expected to be kept up all night , haunted by the image of Trevor carrying Peyton away .

Or maybe she thought shed be replaying Jasper and Julias impatient , disdainful expressions .

Or even the whispers and mocking looks from the socialites who loved nothing more than to gossip .

But instead , her mind kept drifting back to the rush of wind , the neon blur of the city flashing past her , the breathtaking skyline , and Frasers deep , teasing gaze .

Suddenly , her phone rang .

A voice call from Caleb .

She hesitated for a moment before picking up .

Hello ? On the other end of the line , Trevors hand holding his drink froze midair .

His gaze flicked toward Calebs -phone .

Bobby had been about to speak , but after one sharp glare from Trevor , he shut his mouth immediately .

Caleb cleared his throat .

Summer , uh .

Trevor drank a little too much .

Do you want to come pick him up ? Then , after a long pause , her voice came through , indifferent .

Im busy .

Call his assistant Andrew .

Or better yet , call Peyton .

Im sure shed be thrilled to pick him up .

Trevors expression instantly darkened .

The temperature around them seemed to plummet .

Even Caleb and Bobby felt the chill in the air .

Caleb awkwardly pressed on .

Hes got a migraine .

Its really bad .

You know how to help with it .

You should A cold laugh interrupted him .

Am I his maid ? He gets sick , and you throw him at me .

But when hes fine , he runs straight to Peyton .

What do I look like to you ? Then , she added flatly , Im guessing Trevor is right there listening .

Tell him this were done .

Even if he drops dead , the most Ill do is call 911.

The line went dead .

Chapter 16 Even If He Dies , Ill Just Call 911 ! Trevors expression was ice cold , his eyes brewing with something dark and unreadable .

49 Finished- F * ck ! Bobby snapped .

Does that woman even hear herself ? Talking about breaking up like its nothing ? Trevor was doing her a favor by even being with her ! Does she even know her worth ? I say , let her cool off .

If she doesnt come begging for forgiveness , then you should just leave her .

See how fast she regrets it ! Shut up .

Trevor said icily , Bobby tensed but tried again Trevor , Im just saying- Trevor stood abruptly , his movements slightly unsteady from the alcohol .

He clenched his jaw .

If you really want to help me , Bobby , then shut the hell up.

Caleb hesitated , then stayed silent .

But deep down , he had a bad feeling .

Summer wasnt bluffing this time .

And Trevor was going to regret this , Summer woke up feeling refreshed .

She did her makeup carefully , then picked a nude silk blouse and a sleek gray pencil skirt .

The outfit was sophisticated yet elegant , making her look effortlessly polished .

She headed to Stewart Group for work .

When she had been brought back to the Stewart family , her grandmother had insisted she be given a place in the company .

At the time , Summer had agreed , hoping to rebuild a relationship with her family .

Three years ago , she had joined under an anonymous identity and worked her way up to brand manager purely on her own merit .

As she arrived at the office , her assistant , Quinn , greeted her at the door .

Ms.

Stewart , the chairman wants to see you .

Summer nodded and made her way up to the top floor of the 27 story building , where Jaspers office was.

She knocked .

Come in , came his deep , authoritative voice .

She pushed open the door .

Jasper sat behind his large marble desk , his presence as imposing as ever .

Without looking up , he tossed a file onto the desk .

Stewart Groups global expansion project got a bank Joan of only 250 million dollars .

We still need 500 million .

Go talk to Trevor .

Get him to help .

Summer picked up the file and skimmed it .

The project was Jaspers passion , something he had poured years of effort into .

Even Harvey had been sent to Ardonia for a year just to work on it .

2/4 E 21:45 Wed , 12 Mar NNN .

Chapter 16 Even If He Dies , Ill Just Call 911 ! Summer herself had done plenty of research on it .

Everything was set except the funding .

53 % Finished She set the file down .

Mr.

Stewart , Ive broken up with Trevor .

I wont ask him for anything .

And even if I did , he wouldnt necessarily help .

Jaspers expression darkened .

He stood , exuding a strong sense of authority .

Thats just what youre saying .

The Larson family hasnt announced any engagement withdrawal .

He continued , his tone coaxing .

Summer , I know youre upset about Peyton .

But if you get Trevor to invest , Ill give you 10 % of Stewart Groups shares .

Even your brother Harvey only has 5 % .

Margaret has none .

Summer laughed coldly .

Jasper really was willing to go a in .

It was a tempting offer .

But she wasnt about to grovel to Trevor just for it .

She met Jaspers gaze , her voice steady .

Mr.

Stewart , breaking off an engagement doesnt require both parties to agree .

I The office door suddenly burst open .

Margaret stormed in , her heels clicking against the floor .

She tossed her Hermes bag onto the couch .

Dad , did I just hear mething about 10 % of Stewart Groups shares ? Does that mean whoever gets the investment gets the shares ? Jasper frowned .

You should knock before entering .

Margaret had overheard the conversation from outside .

She wasnt about to let Summer take those shares .

Sorry , Dad , I was just excited ! she said , quickly changing her tone .

If Summer wont go ask Trevor , then she obviously wont get the investment .

But I have a way to secure the funding .

Jasper narrowed his eyes .

Margaret , dont mess around .

This isnt a small family matter its the companys future .

But Margaret wasnt backing down .

10 % of Stewart Groups shares .

That meant annual dividends .

That meant financial security .

Even if the Stewart family ever abandoned her , shed have an independent source of wealth .

Her eyes darted cunningly .

And if Summer and Trevor were on bad terms , this was the perfect opportunity for her to step in .

She rushed over and clung to Jaspers arm .

Dad , Im about to graduate ! I studied fine arts , sure , but Ive decided I dont want to be an artist .

I want to work for Stewart Group .

Getting the investment will just be my first contribution to the family ! And once Im officially in , you can give me a managerial or director position .
