Female Novel
Chapter 425
Chapter 425 True Identity
Just because her father's company was involved in an embezzlement case, they were afraid that theynovelbin
would be implicated.
Hehe! This was the great families, and this was the gentry and nobility!
They lived a life of supreme glory, but at heart, they were more filthy and selfish than anyone else.
Summer closed her eyes and tilted her head slightly. The night breeze brushed her cheeks, and it was
as if she could still feel how the intense pain had flowed out of her chest that night.
It was as if the pain had been carved into the marrow of her bones and could not be erased forever.
Just then, the sound of urgent footsteps sounded behind her.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, then her eyes opened at once, while they were already clear.
The man's angry voice rang out, "Summer!"
Summer curled her lips and turned her head, and sure enough, she saw Ricky's angry face.
Before she had time to make any reaction, he was already approaching her harshly.
In the next second, the man instantly moved in front of her, grabbed her by the collar, and pinned her
against the concrete railing.
She frowned and grunted in pain. Her entire upper body fell almost beyond the railings.
Her hair then fluttered in the night air with the wind. The cold, hard concrete pressed against her waist
as if it were going to cut her right off.
Yet she just curled her lips up into a flirtatious smile and said, "What? You don't pretend to be crippled
and not in a wheelchair anymore? If other people saw you walking like that, their jaws would drop in
shock!"
When Ricky looked at her smiling face, he could not contain his anger.
He grabbed her by the collar and said through gritted teeth, "What have you done?"
Summer's eyes widened with an innocent look, "What have I done?"
"You're still playing dumb! Tell me! Why did you kill Archie?"
His words caused the smile on Summer's face to slowly cool down.
Then, she looked away slightly and said impassively, "I am happy to do so. What? Does it affect the
relationship between the Stevenson family and the McCarthy family?"
After that, she turned to him with a charming smile as if she had thought of something, "Ricky, we
haven't seen each other for a year. Shouldn't we be more polite to each other? At least, we used to
share the same bed ..."
Before she could finish her words, she shuddered and a fist had smashed into the concrete railing
beside her.
The man's hands instantly became a bloody mess. He gritted his teeth and said, "Summer! Do you
know that Natalia is pregnant? It's fine for you to hate our family, but how can you do this to a good
friend who has always trusted you?"
Summer's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and then she smiled coldly.
"Ricky, how old are you?"
Ricky froze slightly, then saw her say coldly, "You're twenty years old, and it's been eight years since
you joined Dragon Club. You can't be fooling yourself even now, thinking that she and I are really good
friends! I'll tell you the truth. Back then, I only befriended her because of her relationship with Archie. I
wanted to use her to get close to Archie and kill him. But for one thing, I wasn't strong enough at the
time, and for another, who would have thought that she would suddenly lose her memory and not
contact Archie again? Luckily, after all these years, she got him back. That's why I used her hand to kill
him. Do you think it was God's will?"
Ricky's lips trembled slightly, and then he gritted his teeth and said, "You mean, you've been scheming
all these years just to get revenge?"
Summer pursed her lips and smiled, "Not exactly. For one thing, I do want revenge. For another,
someone paid a high price for Archie's life. I'm just taking money from someone and doing something
for him."
After saying that, she suddenly remembered something else, "Oh yes, you don't know Archie's other
identity now, do you? Well, I'll tell you. He's actually the boss of Dragon Club, code name X. How's
that? Doesn't that sound familiar?"
X?
Ricky was shocked and stared at her incredulously.
This code name was more than familiar to him!
It was too familiar!
About seven years ago, this person, whose code name was X, had done so many unbelievable things
that he could not count them on his hands!
And now she was telling him that that person was him ...
Ricky looked at the woman in front of him. She smiled charmingly, but in his eyes, he only felt that she
was like a siren.
At that moment, Summer's eyes suddenly turned stern and she took advantage of his distraction to flip
her wrist, pushed his hand away, and slid out like a loach.
She moved as skillfully as if she had practiced it a thousand times. In the blink of an eye, she had
retreated a few steps away.
Ricky only felt his hand empty and raised his eyes to look at her. Summer was smiling, but there was
no smile in her eyes at all, instead, they were cold as ice.
He moved his lips, and finally, in a hoarse voice, he said, "So, all these years, I have been secretly
helping you, and in your eyes, you just treat me as a fool, right?"
Summer sneered, "Didn't you? If the Stevenson family and the McCarthy family hadn't joined forces
back then, my father wouldn't have died! He was the scapegoat for both of your two families, but what
about you? You have imprisoned me for your own fame and profit and have forbidden me to tell the
truth. I managed to escape with great difficulty. Do you think that just by giving me a little charity, you
can move me to forget all this hatred?"
Ricky looked at her frantic face and moved his lips, then suddenly felt powerless for no reason.
"Heh!"
He laughed at himself, and his gaze turned sarcastic when he looked at her again.
"Do you really think that it was your father who took the blame for our two families for what happened
back then, and not he himself who harbored evil intentions and made a big mistake?"
Summer shuddered hard.
Her face changed slightly and she said urgently, "Impossible!"
"How is it impossible? Back then, he used the McCarthy family's name to embezzle and take bribes.
Has he committed fewer mistakes? He stirred up such a big mess that he would have been imprisoned
for life, if not dead. He had no balls and chose to jump off a building, but it's the McCarthy family's
fault? And do you know how much Archie paid to clean up his mess and fill in the loopholes!"
Summer's face changed dramatically and she shook her head.
"I don't believe it. I don't believe it!"
Ricky sneered.
"Believe it or not, that's the way it is. If you must think that way, there's nothing I can do about it. It's just
a pity that for seven years, I've been treating you like the simple little girl you were back then. I was
blind. It's a good thing Archie's okay today. If anything happens to him, I'd have killed you!"
With that, he ignored her again, turned, and strode away.
Summer stood on the rooftop. The wind blew up her long hair, and her face was already teary.
As she watched the slender man disappear at the end of the corridor, she finally couldn't help herself
and knelt down, then sobbed uncontrollably.
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry..."
