Predestined Bride

“Alright, hurry up! Don’t be late on your first day to school,” she reminded him, “and stay out of trouble!”

“When was I ever in trouble?” Douglas looked unhappy.

When wasn’t he?

But Summer didn’t argue with him anymore and told him to get moving.

Douglas stuffed the cash into his pockets. Then, he suddenly became serious, “There’s something else I need to talk to you.”

“What?” Summer became curious because Douglas was seldom serious.

“You should divorce my cousin. He’s not a good man.” Later, he added, “I’m not saying this to persuade you to be my girlfriend.”

If Douglas hadn’t added the last statement, Summer would have believed him.

She glared at Douglas, “Don’t talk nonsense, kid. If you stay here any longer, I’ll call your cousin.”

“Alright, I’ll go.” He took a few steps and turned around again, “I’m serious.”

Summer made a gesture of calling someone on the phone. Douglas shrugged and ran off in a flash.

Douglas was just a kid. There were many things he didn’t understand. But he was right about one thing-Leonardo wasn’t a good man indeed.

…

When Summer went back, she ran into Vicky.

Vicky got her bummer face on when she saw her.

But she seemed surprised to see the clothes she was wearing.

Summer was working in the Jarrett Group, but her clothes were always plain and simple. She looked nothing like a young lady from a wealthy family.

The clothes she was wearing today were from a luxurious brand, and the shape and stitches were classic.

Who bought her the clothes? Douglas?

Vicky crossed her arms and cast a sidelong glance at Summer with her chin up high, “I heard you failed to persuade Leonardo to help the Jarrett Group?”

“That’s right. He isn’t someone who can be persuaded. Will you give it a try?” Summer was already in a bad mood because of Leonardo, so she was straightforward with Vicky.

“I will. You don’t think I have the guts, do you?” Vicky snorted coldly and left.

Summer agreed with Jessica. Vicky was a spoiled princess who was already hopeless.

Vicky had wanted to hook up with Douglas, and then Leonardo after she failed. Although Summer knew they were the same person, Vicky didn’t.

Did she really think all the men in the world were revolving around her?

And she was so attractive that all of them should fall in love with her?

She was indeed hopeless.

Summer laughed a little. Hooking up with Leonardo? She might not even get a chance to meet him in person.

…

Leonardo arrived at the Tip Top Media Company.

He entered his office and Carl followed him.

“I heard you had Tim bring you some clothes to the Golden Cauldron Club on Saturday night?” Carl mocked as if he saw through everything.

But Leonardo’s heart sank when he mentioned it.

“Don’t you have better things to do?” Leonardo looked up from a pile of documents.

“I do. I’m fine…” Carl had a bad premonition.

Since Leonardo started to take over issues in the company recently, the dummy president Carl Jones didn’t have much work to do.

Leonardo turned on his computer and a piece of news popped out.

The headline was eye catching-A Baron in the Showbiz Was Witnessed Entering a Bar with Two Women

He clicked on the news to read it.

After he skimmed through the article, he raised his brows and said, “You will not be fine pretty soon.”

“What is it?” Carl leaned over with a puzzled look and saw the huge title with a picture of himself bringing two women into the Golden Cauldron Club.

It was night, but the photo taken by the paparazzi was bright and clear. The two women were following him, one on the left and the other on the right. They seemed intimate judging from the photo.

“Bullshit! This is that Saturday night when I was out there with two employees of the Golden Cauldron. At that time, one of them stumbled and I just held her up!”

Carl was incredibly pissed off.

Leonardo didn’t bother to remind him that Jessica might see the news.

Carl was still cursing the paparazzi when he suddenly realized it. He immediately gave Jessica a call.

The call was soon picked up. Carl was a little surprised since she never answered his call so quickly.

But what came next was all yelling and scolding from the other side of the phone. “Shame on you! What are you calling me for? To show off how good you are that you can handle more than two women? I wish sooner you could go to hell! Fuck off! You make me sick! Don’t call me again!”

She then hung up the phone just like that.

“Jessica, keep going! Why are you hanging up on me again?” Carl was a little anxious. Jessica usually didn’t answer his phone, and even if she did, she was impatient. But this time, she was furious.

When Carl called again, Jessica didn’t answer the phone.

“Sorry, the number you have dialed is busy.”

“Sorry, the phone you have dialed is power off.”

“Sorry, the number you have dialed does not exist.”

…

She blocked him again?

He had made great effort to get himself off Jessica’s blacklist. Now he was back on it again just because of that stupid news!

“Damn!”

Carl was no longer in the mood of teasing Leonardo. He went out and told his secretary, “Inform the public relations department to hold a meeting.”

If he found out who was responsible for the news, he would kill him.

…

Summer suddenly received a phone call from Jessica.

Jessica had been publicizing the new movie recently. She was too tired and busy to keep in touch every day with her friend Summer.

Summer was thus surprised to see Jessica suddenly calling her. She thought she might be coming back soon.

But when she picked up the phone, she heard Jessica’s crazy voice coming through, “Carl is a bastard, a jerk, an asshole, a stinking coward!”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Summer rubbed her ear which was numb from her loud voice. “What did he do?” she asked, feeling so confused.

“Didn’t you see the news? He took two women to the clubhouse and didn’t come out all night. What else could he do?”

Summer opened the webpage of the entertainment sector and saw the picture in which Carl brought the two women into the club. It was still soaring as a trending topic.

She also recognized that this photo was taken at the entrance of the Golden Cauldron Club. In the photo, Carl and the two women looked intimate.
