"This is really troublesome, I’ll handle it!"
Seeing this, Jessica hurriedly pushed open the car door and got out with the driver, walking over to the woman.
"Summer Shawcross!" The woman was frantically pounding on the car window, her face obscured by disheveled short hair, giving her a somewhat eerie appearance.
Summer instinctively shrank back.
It was her first time seeing such a fanatical fan...
"Please leave immediately, or we’ll call the police!" Jessica warned sternly.
But the woman was undeterred, still struggling madly, clinging to the car door handle with a death grip.
"Summer Shawcross, come out, come out quickly, I want to see you, Summer Shawcross!"
As the woman struggled, the messy hair obscuring her face was pushed aside, and it was then that Summer finally saw her dirty and pale face clearly.
She was startled once more!
"Wait a moment!" Just as Jessica and the driver were about to pull the woman away, Summer hurriedly pushed open the car door and stepped out.
"Summer, you can’t indulge fans like this, they’re too extreme, who knows what they’ll do in the future!" Jessica said uneasily, turning her head toward her.
As soon as Jessica finished speaking, the crazed woman suddenly knelt down with a thud in front of Summer.
This sudden action took Jessica and the driver by surprise.
"Young lady, you have to be rational chasing stars, what would your family think of this?" Jessica sighed, thinking the other was an extreme fan, and tried to persuade her kindly.
"Wen...Wendy Linden?" Summer stared at the girl for a moment, then opened her mouth in surprise, calling out her name.
The woman before her was disheveled and utterly haggard, looking nothing like the Wendy Linden she knew, and her voice just now had been hoarse, so she hadn’t recognized her at first.
In just over a week, she had gone from a high-and-mighty socialite to this state.
"Summer Shawcross, help me, I beg you!" Wendy reached out and grabbed Summer’s dress hem, lifting her tear-streaked eyes to look at her, pleading in a hoarse voice.
Seeing Wendy in this state, Summer could already guess what had happened.
Did something happen to the Linden family?
But what surprised her was that Wendy had come to her... She had thought that her advice to Wendy on the cruise ship that day wouldn’t have changed anything.
"What happened?" Summer lowered her head, looking at her in confusion.
In her previous life, she only knew that something had happened to the Linden family, but she didn’t know the specific details.
"The Linden family is finished... My brother and that vile woman my dad married ran off, transferring all the family’s assets away, and not only that, they left the company with huge debts... Creditors are knocking on our door, my dad was so enraged he fell ill, but we have no money left, and the hospital won’t admit him..." Wendy Linden clutched at Summer’s dress, speaking anxiously and nervously.
She still couldn’t believe that a once warm and happy family could suddenly turn into this overnight.
Facing all this, a twenty-year-old girl like her couldn’t bear it, nor did she have the ability to fix it. In despair, she thought if something happened to her dad, she might as well end it all too.
But as she climbed onto the bridge, ready to jump, a strong wind woke her up...
That’s when she remembered the words Summer Shawcross had said to her on the cruise ship that day.
