Chapter 1429: A Grand Surprise for You

The woman returned to the country, and Mother Hughes and Henry Hughes had a big fight, even leading to a suicide, which made the media generally believe that this was the truth of the matter.

The reason for Mother Hughes’s suicide was related to that woman.

Summer Sutton finished reading all the newspapers she had in hand and gently furrowed her brow.

She didn’t know if the news was truly accurate; the media often reports wildly, yet many times the information dug up is indeed the truth.

If the news were true, Summer Sutton found it hard to imagine how Lorraine Hughes, such a strong person, could have such a fragile mother.

Just how much grievance did Mother Hughes endure in her marriage with Henry Hughes?

Lorraine Hughes’s upbringing couldn’t have been as happy and content as it appeared on the surface, right?

Summer Sutton wasn’t concerned about Lorraine Hughes, but still, after reading such news, she couldn’t help but feel a bit downhearted.

Putting the newspapers away and getting ready to start a new workday, Watt Bennet called.

“Busy?”

“No, I haven’t started yet,” Summer Sutton said.

“Stay at the company this afternoon; I’ve prepared a surprise for you. I’ll come by later too.” Watt Bennet didn’t say much before hanging up.

Summer Sutton pondered his words slowly, unable to grasp what he meant by a surprise.

She already had everything she wanted; what kind of surprise could there be?

Flowers?

Gifts?

But why would he need to come over in the afternoon to give them?

Wouldn’t it be better to drop by to pick her up at home and give them to her then?

She had always found Watt Bennet’s actions baffling.

Without dwelling on it, she busied herself with her work for the morning.

…

The Sutton Clan Group seemed quite busy today; in the morning, employees were coming and going, as if preparing for something.

Since Watt Bennet took charge of Sutton Clan Group, it had expanded significantly, and its business had increased considerably.

With more business, naturally, there were more things to be busy with.

Summer Sutton didn’t pay much attention, absorbed in her work.

In the afternoon, she gleaned a bit of information from her former assistant, who said there was a large meeting for the media and all employees.

As just a newcomer returning to the Sutton Clan, Summer Sutton felt it surely had nothing to do with her.

If she were to go, she wouldn’t be able to contribute anything, let alone speak.

Still believing it had nothing to do with her, Summer Sutton continued to peruse her documents.

At three o’clock, Watt Bennet called.

“Come down, I’m downstairs!” he tossed these words to Summer Sutton and hung up.

Summer Sutton was surprised that he actually came.

Feeling indescribably happy, she tossed aside the documents in hand and quickly headed for the downstairs lobby.

When she arrived, Watt Bennet, in a neat suit, was walking toward her.

He was dressed formally today, with a pure white shirt paired with a black jacket, appearing before Summer Sutton so ceremoniously that she almost thought it was some important occasion.

“You really came!” Summer Sutton happily rushed to him, disregarding the many people in the company, speeding up to give him a big hug after reaching his side.

Watt Bennet glanced her over from top to bottom, seemingly dissatisfied with her attire, turning to give some instructions to the assistant accompanying him, who then left.

“What’s wrong? What brought you over at this time?”
