Predestined Bride

Even though Alexander had been away for many years, he still had great prestige at home.

During the meal, no one said a word.

After dinner, Leonardo stood up and said, “We still have work to do. Please excuse us.”

Summer was a little surprised. She didn’t expect Leonardo to leave so soon.

Hearing that, Alexander looked up at him and said, “Okay.”

Although Alexander and Leonardo only exchanged a few words, Summer somehow felt that they had had a big conversation.

Leonardo brought Summer out of the house, who was still in a daze.

Back in the car, Summer was still puzzled.

“You and my grandfather, what’s going on?” She really couldn’t understand this silent battle between them masters.

“He will look for me.” Leonardo smiled coldly.

Summer didn’t know if that would happen, but she was sure that Alexander would check on her soon.

…

The next day was Friday.

Summer went to the company early in the morning and heard that the old chairman was here.

Just as Summer sat down, she received a phone call from Vicky.

Vicky said unhappily, “Grandpa asked you to come to his office.”

Then Vicky hung up.

Summer went to the chairman’s office and discovered that Lynn and Vicky were both there.

It seemed that she was not the only one that Alexander wanted to talk to.

Neither Lynn nor Vicky looked cheerful.

Lynn was wearing a long face. It seemed that he had been scolded by Alexander.

Vicky felt that Summer was looking at her, so she glared coldly at Summer.

Alexander did not notice the tension between them and asked Summer to sit down.

Summer was even more confused.

Lynn and Vicky were both standing. But Alexander wanted her to sit?

“Ignore them. Sit down. I want to ask you something.” When Alexander’s gaze fell on Lynn, he coldly snorted, “Black sheep!”

Hearing that, Summer had to sit down.

“I know what you have been through all these years. And I know what they’ve done.” Summer was surprised to hear Alexander say that.

This caught Summer off guard.

She wasn’t sure what Alexander meant, so she could only say, “It’s nothing. We are all family. I don’t feel wronged.”

She wasn’t sure about Alexander’s intentions, so she wasn’t being honest.

Alexander shook his head. “You were so young when I left. I didn’t think you were the smartest of the three children.”

The smartest…

Summer’s heart skipped a beat, and she felt a little uneasy.

Did Alexander know something?

“Brother and Sister are outstanding. I can’t compare to them.” Summer looked down to avoid Alexander’s eyes.

“You are so modest.” Alexander suddenly laughed and waved his hand. “Lynn and Vicky, you can leave now.”

“Yes.”

Vicky had to leave although she didn’t want to.

She glared at Summer before she went out of the door.

Grandpa used to like her the most. Not only had he cursed her just now, he also treated Summer, that ugly woman, so nicely!

…

When Summer and Alexander were alone in the room, he said seriously, “I didn’t know you were so brave. You actually allowed the paparazzi to shoot in our factory, and survived after all those horrible things.”

Summer was shocked. Alexander indeed knew!

Lynn hadn’t suspected her because she had played the fool among the Jarretts. Lynn bought that.

Moreover, Summer had “begged” Leonardo to help the Jarrett Group solve the factory incident, so Lynn trusted her even more.

Alexander was different. He was smart and didn’t spend much time around the Jarretts. Naturally, he could tell what was strange about that matter.

“Grandpa, are you blaming me for allowing the paparazzi to film the factory?” Since Alexander was straightforward, she got it out of her chest.

It was good to put cards on the table.

“Do you know how much the Jarrett Group has lost because of that?”

“I just wanted to use this opportunity to make it famous. Leonardo helped it through, and my goal was achieved. The Jarrett Group has more cooperation deals now.

Summer felt she was getting better at lying.

It felt good to be praised, but she had to play the fool when the other party bore no good intentions.

That was exactly what Alexander was doing.

A person’s sixth sense could be miraculously accurate.

Alexander narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was trying to tell if she was being sincere.

Summer slightly widened her eyes and pursed her lips, making herself appear innocent.

Very quickly, Alexander gave a cold shout and waved his hand, “Leave now.”

“Yes.”

Summer stood up and walked out. After taking a few steps, she looked back at Alexander and said, “Grandfather, what exactly is this about?”

“Nothing. Go.” Alexander clearly sounded impatient, as if he couldn’t wait for Summer to disappear.

Summer was disappointed as she turned around to leave.

Even though Alexander treated her better than the rest of the Jarretts, he was still a Jarrett, and none of them seemed to like her.

Alexander had just expressed his sympathy before questioning her about the factory had asking her to leave.

He really cut to the chase.

In the afternoon, Alexander hold a high-level meeting to discuss the current situation of the Jarrett Group.

Vicky and Lynn both participated, but Summer was excluded.

Because Alexander did not ask for her.

Perhaps he found her dumb after feeling her out in the morning, and decided to ignore her.

It had always been like this. She would not be a part of everything the Jarretts did.

Summer knew that all along, so she didn’t feel sad.

She could get off work earlier if she didn’t attend the meeting. Wasn’t that nice?

…

Because it was Friday, Summer did not plan to go home directly. She waited for Douglas to come and they went to the supermarket together.

As soon as Douglas got in the car, he said, “I am free!”

“What?”

“It’s winter vacation next week.” Douglas fell into the back seat, his face full of excitement.

Summer reminded him ruthlessly, “There are exams before the winter vacation.”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Douglas went gloomy in an instant.
