Predestined Bride

Leonardo fixed his eyes on her critically and seriously, not neglecting any subtle expression on her face.

Leonardo and Summer looked at each other silently, as if they were in a silent contest.

In the end, Summer turned her gaze away.

“Douglas” was Leonardo?

She found it ridiculous.

Leonardo looked at the constantly changing expression on her face and understood that his words were too abrupt.

He withdrew his gaze and slowly drank a mouthful of water before he said calmly, “If I say no, will you believe me?”

“Of course not. Do you think I’m that easy to fool?” Summer realized the teasing in his tone and felt relieved.

Leonardo said indifferently, “No.”

It was not his thought, but a fact.

After dinner, Summer returned to her room. She was still thinking about what “Douglas” had said.

She didn’t know “Douglas” for long. But she knew that he was too arrogant to be at the mercy of others and marry a woman he did not like.

No matter who married into the Emerson’s, Vicky or Summer, Leonardo could investigate their backgrounds.

At that time, she was “ugly and stupid”, while Vicky’s private life was a mess. They didn’t match him.

If “Douglas” were Leonardo, he needn’t marry her or Vicky.

Moreover, Leonardo was disabled. He was indifferent towards Summer, so it was more authentic.

After analyzing, Summer calmed down and took her clothes to the bathroom.

When she came out after bathing, she heard her phone ringing.

Without seeing who was calling, she picked up the phone.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“You skipped work today?”

Hearing Lynn’s harsh voice, Summer was shocked for a moment. She pressed the hands-free button and put it on the bed. Then, she dried her hair and said, “Dad, you are really well-informed. I went home after I went out this morning. But it was already late at night when you found out that I had skipped work.”

The man who went out with her to do market research during the day must be asked to take revenge on her by Stone.

Otherwise, Vicky, who liked to make trouble for her, couldn’t tell Lynn about this matter until now.

Vicky was probably involved in this matter. Perhaps after confirming that person had not succeeded, she told Lynn about that.

Vicky spared no effort to deal with her.

She hadn’t settled the matter with Vicky about the Violet Gold Club yet!

That day in Lynn’s office, she said on purpose that Vicky had been to the Violet Gold Club again to test whether Vicky was there that day.

Although the mastermind behind that incident could only be Vicky, she still had to confirm it.

Lynn knew nothing about what had happened to Summer today. When he heard Summer’s arrogant tone, his anger grew even stronger. He shouted on the phone, “Summer! Do you think that I can’t discipline you since you become an Emerson?”

Summer said languidly, “No. If you want, you can do it anytime.”

However, since she was young, Lynn had never cared about her. He would only look at her when he needed her.

Lynn remained silent with astonishment for a while. He coldly said, “Fine! We’ll talk about it on Monday at the company!”

He hung up the phone fiercely.

Vicky placed a glass of water in front of Lynn and said, “Dad, what did Summer say to make you so angry?”

“She thinks no one can discipline her. She is simply looking down on me!” Lynn slapped his desk angrily.

Vicky gently stroked his chest and comforted him, “Dad, I think Summer has gone too far this time. You treat her so well, but she doesn’t respect you. I think it’s better to teach her a lesson.”

Hearing this, Lynn pondered for a moment before nodding slowly.

…

As for what Lynn had said, Summer had long expected that this matter would not be over.

But now that she dared to go to the Jarrett Group, she wasn’t afraid.

Jessica was still filming in another city. Summer had no friends in Hoover City, so she just stayed at home to watch TV and write scripts on weekends.

She couldn’t stay at the Jarrett Group for long, so she couldn’t abandon her major.

She didn’t know what “Douglas” was busy with these two days. He rarely showed up at home. She did not see him all weekend, which reduced her burden.

On Monday morning.

When it was almost twelve o’clock last night, she heard the sound of the car engine, so she guessed “Douglas” should be at home.

So she made breakfast for two.

When she arrived at the dining room with her breakfast, she saw “Douglas”, dressed in a suit, sitting at the dining table.

This was the first time they had met face-to-face since the dinner last Friday.

Summer was still dissatisfied with what he said that day. She sat down carrying her breakfast and looked at him. “Go to the kitchen and get the breakfast yourself.”

Leonardo did not say anything and his gaze fell on her breakfast.

Her breakfast was simple: porridge and egg pancakes.

Summer felt according to his gaze that he would fight for the food with her.

Thus, she lowered her head and took a bite of the egg pancake to proclaim sovereignty.

After doing this, she felt that she was a little childish.

However, she did not expect that “Douglas” was even more childish than her.

He directly stood up and brought her breakfast to him with his long arms.

Besides, he took a bite at her egg pancake as if he was demonstrating.

Summer wasn’t experienced in getting along with men before, so she blushed, “Y-you’re shameless!”

Leonardo put down his chopsticks seriously and calmly. “I didn’t harass you. Why did you scold me?”

Summer felt didn’t know how to repsond.

She then turned around and went back to the kitchen to get the other share of the breakfast. She ate a hasty meal before going out.

When she came out, Leonardo looked at her in surprise.

Summer walked out quickly. Seeing her disappear, Leonardo couldn’t help but smile.

It seemed to be quite interesting that she didn’t know he was Leonardo.

Although he had been busy these past two days, he still remembered that Summer came back so early last Friday.

Vicky was vicious. She would stop at nothing to deal with Summer. He would not help Summer unless he had to. After all, it was interesting to watch Summer fighting against others.

While he was thinking, he stood up and walked out.
