Predestined Bride

Leonardo crossed his arms and coldly looked at him, not saying anything.

Carl had been fooling around and making various friends since he was a child, so he naturally knew if the drink was drugged.

Therefore, he had purposely given Leonardo that glass of wine last night.

Although Leonardo was vigilant, he was off guard against Carl, therefore he fell into the trap.

“Alright, I admit I know there’s something wrong with that glass of wine.” Carl felt guilty under his gaze.

“I’ll get back to you.” Leonardo interrupted him coldly and turned to his room.

Hearing this, Carl felt a chill down his neck. He got no thanks for his good intentions.

Maybe he would escape Leonardo if he ran away now.

Leonardo walked to the door and found that the door was not tightly closed.

When he came out, he had tightly shut the door and heard the sound of locking it.

Pushing the door open, he looked down and saw a slipper by the door.

Didn’t she even cover it up when eavesdropping?

Leonardo picked up the slipper and placed it beside the bed with the other one. Then, he turned around and took a set of clothes from the wardrobe into the bathroom.

Hearing the sound of the door being closed, Summer poked her head out of the quilt.

The sound of water came from the bathroom. Summer propped herself up and got out of bed. She picked up the clothes that had been thrown all over the floor and put them on. She carried her shoes and walked out quietly.

After leaving the room, she put on her shoes and ran away.

…

When Summer exited the elevator, she saw Carl and Warren.

Warren sat calmly on the sofa, but Carl was obviously very excited, shaking his head and waving, as if he was complaining to Warren.

In the room just now, she heard Leonardo and Carl’s conversation.

There must be a reason for Jessica always unwilling to respond to Carl.

If she were Jessica, she would not care about Carl either.

Although Leonardo’s personality was changeable, he was at least more upright than Carl.

Summer quietly walked over, and happened to hear Carl say, “I must have owed him in my previous life. That’s why I came to pay my debts in this lifetime. As the boss of Tip Top Media Company, he threw the company to me whenever he had something else to do. But I can’t resist. Just as for the matter yesterday, I have good intentions. Isn’t he thinking about something like this? I…”

Halfway through his words, he noticed that Warren’s gaze fixed behind him, “What are you looking at?”

When Carl followed Warren’s gaze and saw Summer, he burst out with shock, “Why … why are you here?”

Summer tilted her head slightly, her expression cold like Leonardo’s, “I’m just passing by. Go on.”

Carl didn’t dare to go on. He could tell Leonardo and Warren that he had called Summer over last night to help Leonardo.

However, in front of Summer, he didn’t dare to say that.

Carl felt uneasy under her cold gaze. “No… Nothing. I just…”

Last time he saw Summer, he thought that she must be a good-tempered woman.

However, now under her cold gaze, he could feel something of Leonardo on her, which boggled his mind.

“The boss of Tip Top Media Company? Leonardo?” Summer raised her eyebrows, “So, was the invitation letter that Tip Top Media Company sent me earlier also Leonardo’s idea?”

Carl felt that the situation was getting out of control. He nodded, then shook his head immediately, denying, “No … No, it was my idea!”

Summer said gently, “Oh, I got it.”

After saying that, she turned around and left.

Carl watched her leave and asked Warren, “Am I in trouble now?”

“Yes.” Warren nodded in agreement.

Carl collapsed, totally screwed up.

“I’d better run first. I’ll go back and pack my luggage now.” Carl stood up and was about to leave.

Just as he was about to go, he heard Leonardo’s voice from behind him, “Have you seen Summer?”

Warren replied, “She just left.”

Carl turned around, and Leonardo also happened to look up at him.

Carl stuttered guiltily, “Le … Leonardo.”

“What are you afraid of? I won’t revenge on you. That’s for Summer.” There was even a faint smile on Leonardo’s face, “I’ll treat you to a drink later.”

“…” He was afraid that not only did Leonardo not want to treat him to a drink, he also wanted to beat him to death.

Leonardo turned around to chase after Summer.

But on second thought, although they had done the most intimate thing last night, it was the first time for Summer. It was normal for her to be shy about such a thing.

If he chased her now, she might not be willing to see him.

Thus, he turned to look at Carl and said, “Let’s go to the company together.”

“No, thanks. I haven’t eaten breakfast yet.”

Leonardo nodded, “I didn’t eat either. Let’s go together.”

Carl just wanted to escape.

…

When Summer returned to the villa, it was still early.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

She hadn’t slept much all night. She was very tired, but she wasn’t sleepy at all.

When she went upstairs, she met Douglas, who was carrying his schoolbag downstairs.

Douglas yawned and looked at Summer with surprise, “Summer, did you go out last night?”

“Yes, I have something to do with my friends.” Summer’s expression was a little unnatural.

Douglas thought that she was afraid that Leonardo would know that she didn’t return all night, so he patted his chest with great pride and guaranteed, “Don’t worry, I won’t tell my cousin. After all, we are the people on the same boat!”

“Yes, hurry up and go to school.”

Summer quickly ran back to her room.

She carried her clothes into the bathroom and looked at herself in the mirror, blushing.

It was probably the most impulsive behavior she had ever had in her life last night…

Carl’s words flashed through her mind.

Leonardo was actually the boss behind Tip Top Media Company.

In just ten years, Tip Top had become the leader of the entertainment industry.

However, Leonardo was only twenty-six years old this year.

If she hadn’t heard what Carl said, she wouldn’t have known that Leonardo was the boss behind Tip Top Media Company now.

He was such a terribly deep man with countless secrets.

Wasn’t her decision last night … too impulsive?

…

Summer did not sleep much at night and her complexion was pale. She put on her makeup and got changed, and then went to the Jarrett Group.

Along the way, she was in the mood to recall the discussion on the Internet yesterday.

The Jarrett Group must have held an emergency meeting yesterday.

This matter, coupled with Adams’ celebrity effect, probably won’t be solved so easily.

Perhaps, this matter would really force Lynn to invite his father back.
