Predestined Bride

“Thank you.” Summer smiled and looked at Karen.

Although Summer was thanking her, Karen always felt that there was a deeper meaning in her smile. As if her eyes had already seen through everything.

Karen involuntarily trembled. Her hand did not hold the chopsticks steadily and they fell to the ground.

Summer bent over to help her pick up the chopsticks and said, “Mom, you have to hold the chopsticks steadily. Next time you drop them, I might not be able to help you pick them up.”

Her tone was slow and gentle, but Karen always felt that there was something other meaning in Summer’s words.

Karen frowned and smiled again. “I was just careless.”

“Is that so?” Summer smiled noncommittally and stood up, “I’m full. I’m going out first.”

Actually, she didn’t eat much at all.

Lynn watched Summer walk out and frowned. He always felt that Summer was strange.

…

As soon as Summer left his office, her expression was completely restrained, leaving only bone-piercing coldness.

Karen had purposely flattered her just now. She saw it, but there was no fluctuation in her heart.

For so many years, she had been deceiving herself.

If Karen loved her, even a little, she wouldn’t have been unwilling to buy her even a piece of clothing for so many years, and she wouldn’t have knelt down to beg her to marry Leonardo.

Karen wanted to please Summer because she understood the importance of herself in Summer’s heart and knew the benefit.

If it was in the past, Summer might have already forgiven Karen.

However, after being disheartened, Summer became much more sober. Karen’s fawning over her could not numb her.

In the future, she would no longer care about Karen.

No one could pretend that nothing had happened after being hurt again and again.

Summer walked to a place where there were no other people and sent a message to the reporter that Jessica had introduced to her. “The newly developed kitchen towel made by the Jarrett Group is made of fake materials and contains toxins harmful to health.”

The Jarrett Group mainly made household daily necessities. In the past two years, it had also been exposed to the public that its products were fake. However, it was quickly suppressed.

At that time, Summer was still in high school. After seeing that news, she went to the factory of the Jarrett Group once. Indeed, there were some problems.

The reporter Jessica introduced to her could be considered reliable and relatively professional.

He was an entertainment reporter and could sell the news to other media.

The reporter quickly replied, “Are you sure?”

“I’m sure, but you have to go to the factory to take photos yourself. I’ll send you the address.” Paparazzi were good at camouflage and sneak shooting, which was their specialty.

“Alright!”

Because the Jarretts and the Emersons were related by marriage, and the matter of the Jarrett Group had newsworthiness, the reporter agreed.

Summer put away her phone and walked to the office.

Halfway through, she met Vicky, who had returned from outside.

Karen often delivered meals to the company, but Vicky was a hedonist. She was tired of eating the meals Karen cooked every day, so she was naturally more willing to go out to eat.

Vicky said arrogantly, “Didn’t you want to learn from me? I’ll have a meeting later, and you can come and listen.”

Vicky had regained her senses now. She thought she understood Summer very well. If Summer knew that she had done that, Summer would naturally not be so calm. However, she could not be completely sure. Therefore, she wanted to put Summer beside her first.

Summer smiled and replied, “Alright.”

…

In the meeting room.

Summer sat beside Vicky and listened to what they said carelessly.

Even though she did not understand, she could still feel that Vicky did not know anything like her.From NôvelDrama.Org.

Vicky looked at Summer’s confused expression and felt even more proud.

A fool was a fool!

Summer didn’t care how proud Vicky was right now, because very quickly, all the Jarrett Group’s projects would be stopped.

At the end of the meeting, Vicky left Summer behind.

“You don’t even understand the contents of such a simple meeting. I advise you to return to the marketing department as soon as possible!” Vicky looked at Summer with contempt, her tone undisguised disdain.

“Oh, let’s talk about it later.” Summer glanced at her lightly before turning around and leaving.

What Vicky disliked the most was Summer’s disdain for her.

She stared sinisterly at Summer’s back. She did not believe that Summer would always be so lucky. One day, she would step Summer into the mud!

Summer returned to the cubicle and searched online. She found that there was no news about the Jarrett Group.

Could it be that the paparazzi didn’t get anything? Or was it that he hadn’t gone to the factory?

But not long after, Summer knew the result.

Just as she was about to get off work, the company suddenly held an emergency meeting.

The atmosphere in the company suddenly became tense. The phone rang everywhere, and it was a mess.

Not long after Summer arrived at the project department, all she did was some chores. However, she was usually very kind to her colleagues. And due to her complicated identity, most of the smooth colleagues did not instruct her to do anything.

Therefore, Summer became the most leisurely person.

She slowly turned on her phone to surf the Internet and saw a piece of news related to exposing the plots of an enterprise hanging on the front page.

“Explosion: Reporters Probe Deeply into a Large Commodity Company to Expose the Inside Story”

“When mentioning the commodity companies in Hoover City, people involuntarily think of the Jarrett Group. Today, our reporter takes a risk and goes into its factories to expose the Inside Story. Most of the raw materials are recycled from the garbage dump, which will do great harm to human health…”

Summer scanned the comment area.

“The daily necessities, towels, mops from the previous ten years were all bought from this company, but I didn’t use them two years ago. As for the reason, we all know…”

“I just bought a new set from this company. Can I return it?”

“Do you still remember the main character of that indecent video? She seems to be the daughter of the boss of this enterprise. What kind of good products do you expect him to make if he can teach such a shameless daughter?”

“+1, I think what you said is right!”

“+2…”

“I have long guessed that such an enterprise will be exposed sooner or later!”

“…”

This comment about Vicky’s indecent video was followed by over ten thousand comments, which further deepening the user’s resistance towards the Jarrett Group.
