Chapter 129 It Was a Trap From the Start
Summer took a taxi to Adams’ community.
At the entrance of the community, she called Adams.
Adams answered the phone very quickly. He sounded like he had just finished exercising for he was panting, “Wait for five minutes.”
Adams really came out in five minutes.
He smiled warmly like an elder brother next door in a black sportswear, with his hair slightly wet.
When he looked at Summer, the smile on his face deepened.
He waved to Summer, “Summer, come with me.”
After saying that, he seemed to realize that it might be improper, so he asked her apologetically, “Since you call me Adams in keeping with Leonardo, can I call you Summer?”
Summer choked on his words and nodded awkwardly, “OK.”
Adams took Summer to his house and took a pair of disposable slippers from the shoe cabinet for her.
“It’s a bit messy. The cleaner has something to do this week, so she didn’t come over. I’m too busy to clean up.” Adams explained to her as they walked inside.
Actually, the room was neat and tidy, in which the things were just placed in a disorderly manner.
Summer smiled and didn’t say anything.
Adams took her to the sofa and sat her down. Then, he poured her a glass of water. “I was abroad for a period of time, and there’s nothing at home except for water. Help yourself.”
“It’s okay. Thank you.”
In fact, Summer and Adams were not very familiar with each other, so she was still a little uncomfortable sitting in his house like this.
She took a sip of water, explaining why she was here today. “Did you agree to endorse the products of the Jarrett Group?”
“Yes, I did. But the contract hasn’t been signed yet.” Adams sat down opposite her and smiled gently, “Did the Jarrett Group send you over to discuss about the contract with me?”
“Yes.” Summer laughed and put down the cup in her hand, “Are you sure you want to endorse for the Jarrett Group?”
“I’m not sure, and that’s why they sent you to talk to me.” Adams’ casual manner was somewhat similar to Leonardo’s.
Summer was struck dumb for a moment. How could cousins look so alike?
“However, you don’t seem to agree with me taking their endorsement.” Adams’ smiling eyes were filled with wisdom.
“That’s not true. Although I’m a Jarrett, I have to admit that if you take the endorsement of the Jarrett Group, it will have a bad impact on your acting career.”
Adams leaned back gently and narrowed his eyes, actually a bit like Leonardo.
However, his tone was not as gloomy as Leonardo’s. He was still very gentle, “Are you so honest with everyone?”
Summer somehow didn’t know what to say.
Suddenly, he suppressed the smile on his face and said with a serious expression, “Don’t be too kind, or you will be bullied by Leonardo.”

Hearing Leonardo’s name from Adams’ mouth, Summer was taken aback for a moment.
“Little Douglas is also quite afraid of him. Does he like to bully people?” Summer was really curious.
Adams paused and said, “No, at least until he was eleven years old, he was a very obedient child.”
Very obedient.
It was extremely strange to describe Leonardo with these words.
…
It wasn’t until Summer left that she remembered that the purpose of her visit to Adams today was to talk about endorsements. However, they chewed the fat and forgot about the endorsements.
Summer did not show her resignation.
She always felt that the matter of Adams accepting the endorsement of the Jarrett Group was not that simple.
Just play it by ear.
In the afternoon, Summer did not return to the company. Anyway, there was nothing important to do it she returned.
She called to ask Jessica out for coffee.
She told Jessica about Adams accepting the Jarrett Group’s endorsement. Jessica was no less shocked than her.
Jessica’s first reaction was skeptical, “How is that possible? Are you kidding me?”
“I went to Adams’ today. He didn’t deny it.” Summer added another piece of sugar to the coffee in front of her and paused for a moment before saying, “But the contract hasn’t been signed yet.”
Jessica was reading Weibo. Listening to her words, she looked up and then went back to her phone. Suddenly, a trending post caught her attention.
As she watched, she read it out, “An unscrupulous enterprise was so depraved to threaten a top movie star to endorse its products.”
As Summer listened to this, she felt that this unscrupulous enterprise was probably the Jarrett Group.
She reached for Jessica’s phone and said, “Show me.”
The more Summer looked at it, the deeper her brows furrowed. Then, she read the comments. The first hot comment was about Adams and the Jarrett Group.
“Do you still remember the highly controversial incident about the factory of the Jarrett Group a while ago? I suspect that this post refers to the Jarrett Group.”
There were countless comments below.
“But, who is that movie star threatened?”
“Since that company was able to suppress the news online in such a short period of time, it means that it has a very powerful backer. If so, they would definitely find the movie star who has the most fans and the most influence to endorse their product! Tell me now, this movie star is…”
“Adams!”
“Agree.”
“It must be Adams!”
“…”
Most comments followed the hot comment and were cursing the Jarrett Group.
Summer returned the phone to Jessica, took out her phone and opened Weibo. She went straight to the Jarrett Group’s official account to read the comments.
When she clicked in, she saw that the Jarrett Group’s official account posted a minute ago, “Looking forward to the cooperation with Mr. Adams Wilson.”
Because of the previous incident, the Jarrett Group’s account had been cursed countless times by netizens, so the comments were turned off.
Two minutes after this post was out, the number of reposts exceeded one hundred and was still going straight up.
The people who reposted were mostly cursing the Jarrett Group.
“Would our movie star take on the endorsement of such a trash company? What a joke.”
“Last time, Adams even refused the endorsement of a large international brand XX. Why would he choose such a rotten company? Do you really think we don’t know what you did to Adams?”
“Just close down already!”
“…”
Jessica also leaned over and saw the Weibo posted by the Jarrett Group.
She asked Summer, “Do you believe in such a coincidence?”
“I don’t.” Summer shook her head solemnly.
Adams said that he would take the endorsement of the Jarrett Group, which might have been a trap from the beginning.
Summer roughly understood what was going on.
This was an attempt to use the celebrity effect to push the Jarrett Group to the edge of the abyss.
How about Lynn’s father?
Leonardo’s words broke into Summer’s mind.
