Predestined Bride

Along the way to the villa, Summer was browsing social media.

That “The Ugly will cause trouble” topic was still trending high.

Most of the netizens were scolding Summer.

Summer laughed coldly. She was the true victim. Why should she be the brunt of the attacks? And this trouble maker Vicky can gain on reputation and fame?

Summer sent a message to Jessica.

“Recommend a reliable media sales agent.”

“What do you want it for???!!!”

Summer could feel Jessica’s excitement over the phone.

“I don’t want to be scolded unnecessarily.”

“That’s the way, get rid of that late-stage princess illness. I’ll contact a friend of mine, her fans are more than mine…”

Jessica can’t stand the high and mighty attitude of Vicky who felt that everyone should listen to her. She kept calling her late-stage princess illness.

Summer was speechless, Jessica loves to see a commotion and is not afraid of big issues.

Since Vicky wanted to squeeze dry all her usefulness, then she’ll give it to her.

It’s only whether Vicky can endure the cost of whitewashing herself.

…

At three in the afternoon, it was the perfect time for afternoon tea and chit chat. Not to mention that it’s three in the afternoon on a weekend.

However, a very simple content of only “I am sorry” three words was the leading story.

Within two hours, the comments were numbering in the tens of thousands.

This message was sent by Summer.

She asked the sales agent to screen capture her micro-blog and use a series of algorithms to recommend and verify that her ID was Vicky’s sister in the topic “The ugly will cause trouble”.

Very quickly, social media was full of nasty messages.

“Death to the entire family”, “Car wrecked”, type of comments and others.

Jessica was furious and called Summer, “Summer, are you crazy? You wanted the sales agent’s number to apologize to the late-stage-princess-illness? Do you believe that I’ll come over to shred you?”

“I don’t believe it.” Summer answered calmly.

Jessica was slightly deflated, “What do you intend to achieve?”

When she first saw the news, she didn’t believe that it was Summer who posted it but when she clicked into it, it was verified that it was Summer.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Though she was angry, she calmed down very quickly.

All these years that Summer was in the Jarrett family she had to swallow her anger but that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t have a temper.

“I intend to give Vicky a big gift.” Summer paused and continued, “A gift of letting people scold her publicly.”

Jessica’s family was better than the Jarrett family. She wanted to get rid of Vicky but Summer didn’t let her do it.

This time it was summer who was the one to do it and she was ecstatic. “That’s great, if you need anything from me, just call me.”

…

The door to the study opened.

Tim took the iPad in and placed it on the table, “Boss, missus apologized to Vicky on social media.

Leonardo was handling the official business. Although he hasn’t taken over the Emerson group, he had some private business of his own.

He looked at the iPad on the table and Tim flipped to the page.

He glanced, looked down, and calmly said, “Her name isn’t on it, why are you so sure that it’s her who apologized to Vicky?”

“Boss, you mean…” Tim’s impression of Summer was an ordinary girl who reacted slowly. So when he saw this post, he didn’t think too much of it.

“Don’t interfere, just inform me if there are further developments.”

Though he has only met Vicky once, he could see that Vicky was spoilt to the heavens by her family. She doesn’t think carefully before doing things.

At least, Vicky didn’t think thoroughly before trying to get close to him.

In comparison, the environment during Summer’s foundation years was very cruel. No applause, no encouragement, despised by everyone. That’s why she is far more mature than her peers.

He believes that if Summer really wants to retaliate, she will be successful.

If she isn’t successful…

Hmm, if she begged him, he would consider helping her.

But, the possibility of that ugly woman begging him is…

The vibration of his cell phone broke Leonardo’s thoughts.

He took the cell phone and looked at the number and ponders.

It was an international call.

He didn’t receive the call immediately but said, “Please leave.”

When he was speaking, he continued to look at the phone and to Tim who had known him for a long time, he already could guess who the caller was.

After Tim left the room, Leonardo answered the call.

The next moment, a woman in the call said, “Leonardo, what’s going on with the news on social media? If I could see it overseas, isn’t it a bigger deal back there? Did you really marry an ugly and stupid woman? Your body is clearly fine, why don’t you do something to stop the misunderstandings. Why did you let any person become your wife and enter the Emerson door…”

What the woman said became progressively nastier and Leonardo started to frown and getting annoyed, “Kate!”

“What kind of attitude is this? I’m your elder sister!”

“Just by two minutes.” Kate was Leonardo’s twin sister.

Kate composed herself and continued, “Leonardo, I’m not trying to nag. I really don’t understand why must you behave this way, even a nobody dared to climb over your head. Was that necessary? In two years when Dad retires, don’t you have to…”

Leonardo was infuriated.

His voice was chilling to the bone, “Because you didn’t see mother being bullied and tortured to death! You were living in peace overseas but I can’t! I won’t be in peace until I find her killer!”

Kate countered, “Those kidnappers were killed long ago!”

Leonardo’s voice was deep and sullen, “No! The real mastermind hasn’t been caught! That morning we had a sudden change of travel plans. If someone didn’t reveal our new details, how could they have known our new itinerary and managed to capture us in such a short time!”

Whenever he recalled the events that day, his fury and hate may erupt through his chest at any moment!

He didn’t want to talk to Kate any longer, “Pah” he hung up and slammed down his phone.

He will always quarrel with her over this.

Knock knock!

The doorbell rang, closely followed was Summer’s voice, “Leonardo, are you there?”
