Predestined Bride

Chapter 96 Not on Your Way



Summer was no longer interested in appreciating Vicky’s ugly appearance.

She went to the bus stop and took a bus back to the villa.

As soon as she entered, she threw her bag away and slumped on the sofa. She was so tired that she didn’t want to move.

She didn’t do anything today. But why did she feel so tired?

She was wiped out.

When she turned on her Weibo, she saw two hot topics, “Black-hearted Factory” and “Indecent Video and Black-hearted Factory,” at the top of the topic list.

The comments were filled with curses.

Occasionally, a few comments that stood up for the Jarrett Group and Vicky were quickly drowned out.

Very quickly, Summer saw the video of Vicky being surrounded at the company’s entrance.

In the video, Vicky looked like a complete lunatic.

“Why do I feel like this woman is becoming more and more like a real psychopath? Otherwise, how could she scold reporters without feeling shameful after her indecent video leaked out?”

“I agree with you. Fortunately, I’m not her friend. Even if she kills someone, she won’t be sentenced, right?”

“She’s simply a crazy woman!”

“She looks pretty. How much does it cost to sleep with her?”

Summer put down her phone and didn’t want to look at it again.

Apart from a few bodyguards guarding the door, the entire villa was empty. She didn’t know whether Leonardo and “Douglas” were at home.

Summer thought for a moment and sent a message to Douglas, “Are you coming back for dinner?”

If “Douglas” did not come back, she would not cook. Anyway, there were bodyguards cooking.

On the other side, Leonardo had just finished a three-hour meeting and was a little tired.

As soon as he returned to his office and sat down, he received Summer’s message.

Just as he was about to reply, he saw Carl pushing open the door excitedly and strode in.

“Leonardo, look at this!” Carl handed the phone to him.

Leonardo took a look at it. His pupils shrank slightly. After reading it, he said indifferently, “There is something wrong with the factory of the Jarrett Group. If someone wants to make trouble for that company, he can use this event. However, none of these enterprises are clean now. And if that person was not pissed off, he would not make such a big move against the Jarrett Group.”

Carl nodded and said, “Do you think that the old man of the Jarrett family is going to return home?”

“It’s possible.” Leonardo thought of something. His voice suddenly turned cold.

However, Carl did not notice this detail. He asked doubtfully, “This event was exposed too suddenly. There was really no news about it before. Who do you think did this?”

Who did it?

Leonardo’s eyes flickered, and then he expressionlessly looked at Carl. “I won’t tell you.”

Carl’s eyes widened. “You just look at the news and then you know who did this!”

Leonardo ignored him and turned on his computer to look at the news related to the Jarrett Group.

Carl continued to ask him unwillingly, “Then tell me. Is he a competitor in the industry?”

“No.” Leonardo replied straightforwardly this time.

All the comments online were cursing the Jarrett Group, and there was nothing new about it.

Leonardo looked at it for a few minutes.

Only then did he remember that Summer had texted him before.

He edited a message and sent it to her.

Carl wanted to ask more questions, but Leonardo had already stood up with his coat and walked out.

Carl also saw Leonardo sending a text message just now, but he didn’t see the content.

The only person Leonardo would send message was naturally Summer.

“Are you going home for dinner? I don’t have a car today. I’ll take your car to your home!” Carl once had the meal cooked by Summer. He had been thinking about it and wanted to eat that again.

Leonardo turned around and coldly refused, “It’s not on your way.”

“Don’t be so ruthless. I’m just going to your house for a meal, buddy!”

Leonardo still refused, “No.”

In the end, Carl shamelessly rubbed onto Leonardo’s car.

Summer stared at the screen of her mobile phone and looked at the message “Douglas” replied to her.

There was only one simple word on it, which was “hmm”.

Summer felt that it was necessary for her to add Douglas’s WeChat, an instant messenger. If she had something to tell him, she could directly send messages on WeChat without spending money.

She searched through contacts on Wechat and found that there was actually no “Douglas.”

He actually didn’t even use WeChat?

Summer put down her phone and went to the kitchen.

As soon as she finished chopping, she heard the sound of the car engine coming from outside.

It should be “Douglas” coming back.

“Summer.”

This voice…

Summer turned around and saw Carl smiling as he walked in, holding a small exquisite box in his hand.

The logo printed on the box was a cake shop. And Jessica often went to that shop.

“I didn’t drive to the company today, so I couldn’t go home. I met Douglas on the way. I stay here for one night. It’s hard for you to cook for us. I brought you cake.”

He was really the boss of the entertainment company. These words could be said to be watertight.

“Thank you.”

Carl was handsome and charming. He was also so polite. Summer could only accept the cake with a smile.

She took a photo of the cake and sent it to Jessica.

Jessica sent an angry expression, “You go buy a cake without me!”

“It was bought by Carl. It seems to be bought at the shop that someone often goes to. I wonder if someone has met him by chance…”

“[Wielding a 40-meter-long broadsword. Jpg].”

Summer didn’t continue to tease her. She thought of that Jessica had said that she wanted to celebrate with her. “Do you want to come over for dinner?”

“No.” Carl was also there. It was impossible for Jessica to come.

During the meal, Carl, who was obsessed with the incident about the factory of the Jarrett Group, mentioned this matter again.

Summer buried herself in her meal and remained silent, as quiet as a chicken.

After saying that for a long time, Carl remembered that Summer was also a member of the Jarrett family.

He directly asked Summer, “Summer, how is your company?”

Summer?

Leonardo narrowed his eyes and looked up at Carl. “You should leave if you are full.”C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

Carl was confused. When did he provoke him?

Summer was already used to Leonardo’s uncertain personality. She shook her head and said, “I’m not sure. After all, I’m only a handyman in the company.”

After she said that, Douglas, who was sitting opposite her, suddenly turned to look at her.

His eyes were deep and mysterious. It seemed that he knew something.

Why did she feel that Douglas could tell that she was lying…?
