At dinner time, nobody knocked on the door or asked Summer to eat.
Summer touched her flat belly. She was so hungry that she walked to the door and tried to open it. She
wanted to get downstairs and see if they were having dinner. However, she couldn't open the door.
Someone locked it from outside. Summer was flustered and started patting the door.
"Open the door!"
"Is anybody there? Open the door!"
"Mom, I was wrong. Please open the door."
Being locked up was very terrible for Summer. She was only seven years old. However, no one came
to open the door until her voice became hoarse.
It was dinner time. Everyone was in the dining hall, and the servants were also downstairs. Even if
there were servants passing by, they didn't dare to open the door for Summer.
In the dining hall downstairs.
Alexander sat at the table as the host. He looked around with a commanding appearance. In the end,
his gaze fell on Karen as he asked, "Where is your daughter?"
Alexander frowned slightly. Everyone knew he was not happy now.
Karen was most afraid of Alexander, the master of the Jarretts. She knew that Alexander did not like
her, so she made a lot of efforts. However, Alexander had never changed his opinion of her after so
many years.
Karen lowered her head. She did not dare to look at Alexander. "Summer is not feeling well, so she
doesn't want to have dinner."
Looking at Karen, Alexander was very disappointed that she was still so timid.
So, he turned to stare at Lynn. "It's your own business to educate your children. I won't interfere."
Karen did not know what Alexander meant, so she also turned to look at Lynn. However, Lynn was
glaring at her.
Karen was also afraid of Lynn. She panicked when he glared at her. Vicky noticed Karen's reactions.
A nine-year-old child had known a lot of things. More than the adults thought they should know,
especially girls.
Lynn respected Alexander very much. That was why Lynn told his two kids to be good at dinner every
day. Because Alexander valued dinner, Lynn couldn't let his children cause any troubles.
Summer did not come down for dinner, which got Alexander mad.
After dinner, Alexander went out for a walk. After Alexander left, Vicky decided to tell Lynn everything.
She pouted and said, "Dad!"
"What's wrong, honey?"
Lynn loved Vicky and Spencer's mother very much. However, not long after Vicky was born, her mother
passed away. Vicky could never know what her mother was like, so Lynn was biased and loved her
more.
Lynn loved Vicky more than Spencer. So, Lynn's face changed when Vicky pouted and looked
unhappy.
He turned to look at Karen angrily. "What's going on? What happened to Vicky?"
"I...." Karen looked at Vicky, not knowing what to say.
Vicky interrupted her. "Dad, her daughter shouted at me today."
"What?" Lynn's face sank. He turned to Karen again. "How did you teach your daughter? How dare she
shout at Vicky? You're such a terrible mother! I asked you to take good care of Vicky. But what have
you done to her?"
