Predestined Bride

With others present, Lynn casually said to Summer for the sake of his face, “Let’s eat together.”

“Alright.” After she said that, Lynn’s expression changed slightly. She continued, “But I can’t today. I want to eat with my colleagues. Let’s eat another day.”

Lynn didn’t like Summer, so he didn’t want to eat with her.

Hearing her refusal, he looked relaxed and much kinder. “Alright, you can go now.”

At this time, Vicky suddenly turned her head and smiled at Lynn, “Dad, try this. I think their dishes taste good today.”

Lynn smiled and said, “You eat it yourself. You’ve lost weight recently.”

It was harmonious.

Vicky smiled contemptuously at Summer as if she was saying, “You are so poor. Your parents don’t love you.”

It had to be admitted that Vicky had stabbed Summer’s weak spots.

She thought that she had already had a stony heart after being used and abandoned by the Jarretts again and again. It was still painful to see the harmonious and warm scene between Lynn and Vicky.

Summer was still in a bad mood after she found a table with her colleague.

The matter between her and Vicky had become a hot topic on the Internet. These colleagues were all young girls, so they must have known that through the Internet.

They could tell that Lynn didn’t like Summer.

One of them pushed the menu to Summer and said, “Take a look and order what you want to eat.”

Summer smiled and pushed the menu back. “I’m not particular about food. It’s up to you. Besides, I’ve never been here before. I don’t know what’s delicious.”

Hearing this, the other colleagues began to order.

They thought Summer was quite easy to get along with, so one of them asked her, “Do you know why Stone asked for leave today? What happened in the president’s office earlier?”

“I don’t know. Did he do many bad things before? Maybe he was punished by God,” said Summer seriously.

The others didn’t mind and laughed as well. Then, they began to expose Stone’s secrets.

Summer joined from time to time, and it was harmonious.

But one sentence broke the harmony.

“Summer, since you are already an Emerson, why are you still working for the Jarrett Group?”

The person who asked that did not have any evil intentions, but this question was not easy to answer.

Summer paused for a moment and said hesitantly, “This…”

Someone took the initiative to help Summer out of the trouble. “Oh, hurry up and eat. There’s not much time left. After eating, we need to rest for a while.”

The questioner did not continue.

Everyone in the company felt Summer was unwelcome at the Emersons.

Although Leonardo, whose face and sexuality were both harmed, was the first successor of the Emerson Group, he was not suitable to take it over due to his poor physical condition. There were many speculations that the successor might be replaced, but there was no exact news.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Without the title of the Emerson Group’s successor, Leonardo was just a cripple. Summer had to come out to work apart from being unwelcome at the Emersons.

She even had to work as a market researcher, which was a tiring job. She looked pitiful.

Summer looked blankly at her colleagues who kept helping her with the dishes. They seemed to look at her with sympathy.

After thinking for a moment, she understood the reason.

From a bystander’s point of view, she indeed seemed to be quite pitiful…

…

Leonardo stayed in the company for a day.

After work, Carl ran over to him excitedly and said, “Let’s go drink!”

When Leonardo came to the company, Carl was not that busy, so he was in a good mood and wanted to play outside.

“No,” Leonardo refused without raising his head.

Carl rolled his eyes. “Why do you go back so early? When you have nothing to do, you just stay at home. Go home after work and don’t participate in any activities. You’re living like an old man.”

Leonardo refused softly.

“People who have wives are like this.”

Carl twitched his mouth. “So funny.”

Warren came in.

He didn’t know Carl had just been discouraged by Leonardo and asked, “Can we go now?”

“Let’s go,” Carl said as he walked out.

Warren looked at Leonardo and said, “Are you not going?”

Carl replied coldly on behalf of Leonardo, “People who have wives don’t play outside at night.”

Just as Carl expected, Warren looked shocked.

“Let’s go. Just the two of us go for a drink. After all, we have no wives.” Carl placed his hand on Warren’s shoulder and pulled him out.

Warren frowned and pulled Carl’s hand down. He turned his head and said sympathetically, “Even if you have a wife, you can do nothing but see her.”

Leonardo sneered, “You are not allowed to eat at my house anymore.”

Warren’s expression stiffened. He changed his tone and said, “I envy those like you who have wives.”

Carl couldn’t help but kick Warren!

Why couldn’t he be more hard-bitten? Why did they lose to Leonardo every time?

Warren didn’t even bend his legs as if he didn’t feel any pain.

Carl pulled him out and said, “Don’t continue to lose your face here.”

He then turned to Leonardo and said, “We’re leaving now.”

Leonardo was in a good mood and said, “OK. The drink is on me.” A hint of joy could be found in his low voice.

However, when Leonardo drove home and looked at the empty villa, his good mood immediately disappeared.

He took out his phone and called Summer, but she didn’t answer the phone.

He called twice in a row and still, no one answered.

Did she do this deliberately, or did something happen to her?

Leonardo stood in the empty room for a while. The bodyguards on his side couldn’t help but ask him, “Master, what happened?”

Master looked serious. Something incredible must have happened.

Leonardo did not say anything. He picked up his coat and walked out. When he reached the door, he seemed to recall something. He turned around and said, “If Summer comes back, call me.”

Could the big deal be that Mistress hadn’t returned yet?

…

But Summer was being forced to go shopping with her colleagues.

When she got off work, she wanted to return home.

However, the colleagues who had lunch with her probably felt that it was pitiful for her to stay in the empty villa alone, so they insisted on taking her to go shopping.

But she felt she wasn’t pitiful. Even if she stayed in the empty villa, it was a luxurious villa. It was a thousand times better than the small rental house she used to live in.

However, due to the kind invitation from her colleagues, she had no choice but to go shopping with them.
