But she never anticipated that she would ultimately give birth to a baby girl, and tragically, Zahir Summer was killed in a car accident that night!
From that day forward, Ethan Summer considered her and her daughter as scourges, especially Tara, whom he disliked even more.
Grandmaster Summer never showed her any kindness, he stubbornly insisted that she was a jinx who had brought misfortune to the Summer family and caused the death of his only son!
Though Victoria Saber mourned the loss of her husband, seeing the deep hatred Grandmaster Summer had for Tara gave her great satisfaction. She believed she had a future in the Summer family, given that she was Zahir's legally married wife and her daughter Robin was the eldest daughter. Eventually, the Summer's property would fall into their hands.
However, Victoria Saber's plan had terribly backfired.
When Tara was three years old, Grandmaster Summer brought home a boy from somewhere, claiming he was Zahir's flesh and blood. Victoria Saber had her suspicions but she dared not defy Grandmaster Summer, so she bit her tongue.
This boy was George Summer, the same age as Robin, and five years older than Tara.
Victoria Saber endured for seven years, and eventually, when George was fifteen, she secretly took his hair and her daughter's hair for DNA testing. The result confirmed Victoria's suspicion: George was not her husband's illegitimate son, and had no blood relationship with the Summers.
Victoria Saber was so livid she nearly passed out, unable to understand why Grandmaster Summer would rather choose a stranger over letting her daughter inherit the property.
But Ethan Summer was a stubborn man who favored males over females, a deeply ingrained belief he held.
Victoria Saber lost her sense of reason, she drummed up the courage to confront Grandmaster Summer, but was stopped by her daughter Robin. Robin told her mother that she liked brother George, and if Victoria exposed the truth, George might leave them.
Victoria Saber was taken aback, realizing that her daughter only expressed a sibling-like affection for George. However, this ignited an idea in Victoria - would her daughter fall in love with George one day after learning the truth about his identity?
If that were the case, the Summer estate would still be hers if the two of them got together.
Considering her confrontation with Grandmaster Summer might just backfire and annoy him further, she decided to keep quiet and let things unfold on their own.
Once her mind was set, Victoria Saber never brought up the matter again, and just as she anticipated, Robin indeed fell in love with George.
In fact, as time passed, Ethan Summer began to harbor the same thought as Victoria Saber. As soon as the timing was right, he would reveal George's identity and let him marry into the family as the eldest granddaughter's husband.
The only person possibly left in the dark was Josie Reed, even Tara understood the advantage!
Tara learned about George's true identity when she was twelve, she accidentally overheard it outside the study. It seemed her sister Robin was confessing her love to George, and out of curiosity, she eavesdropped, unexpectedly learning about George's lack of blood ties with the Summers.
Apparently, this was also new to George, he immediately confronted Grandmaster Summer. When he emerged from the room, his eyes were red, but the seventeen-year-old did not shed a tear. Tara was standing outside the study at that time.
She looked at him and said, "Brother George, will you always consider me as family? Tara likes you, she will always like you!"
George's eyes turned even redder; he hugged her tightly as if he never wanted to let go...
A glance lasts a thousand years, as does a single word. Their destiny was set in motion from that year onwards.
