Predestined Bride

In the President’s office in the Tip Top Media Company.

Carl pushed in and looked at Leonardo who was sitting behind the desk. He pushed up his glasses and put documents on the desk seriously, “Mr. Emerson, this is all for your signature.”

Usually, it would be the secretary to send documents.

But Carl did it by himself. His purpose was abundantly clear.

Therefore, as soon as he put down the documents, Leonardo said coldly, “Get out.”

Carl had always been shameless in front of Leonardo.

He took off his glasses and raised his eyebrows, revealing the unruliness of a playboy.

He shook his head and said sympathetically, “Leonardo, I really sympathize with you. You managed to get a wife, but she actually hooked up with your cousin. How are you feeling now?”

Leonardo looked up at him sharply, “Do you want to go to Africa to expand business?”

Carl turned pale and shook his head, “No … I don’t want to go!”

He didn’t want to go to Africa!

“Then why are you still here?” Leonardo’s face darkened. He didn’t want to talk about this anymore.

However, Carl had always enjoyed stirring up trouble. He asked, “What if Summer falls in love with ‘Douglas’ and sleep with you? At that time, if she finds out that you are Leonardo…”Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Without hesitation, Leonardo interrupted him, “It’s impossible.”

“It’s impossible for her to know that you’re Leonardo? Do you really think you can hide it for the rest of your life?” Carl thought Leonardo wasn’t that powerful.

“She’s not that kind of person.”

Carl understood what he meant.

He flapped his hand under his nose in an exaggerated manner and said, “You’ve only been with her for a short time, and you said she wasn’t that kind of person. I seem to have smelled the stench of something…”

Warren happened to come in and heard Carl’s words, asking doubtfully, “What stinks?”

Carl said meaningfully, “Anyway, it’s not us. We single men only smell good.”

Warren didn’t understand what Carl meant.

Carl rolled his eyes, “The stench of love, indicating that a couple is so sweet that they disgust others. You don’t even understand it. No wonder you’re single!”

Since a few years ago, Warren would be urged to get married by his mother over the phone every month, so he was very sensitive to this topic.

Warren chuckled and retorted, “You childhood sweetheart left you. How do you feel about it?”

Carl’s face darkened. He came at Warren and shouted, “I didn’t plan to leave alive after coming in today!”

He had a childhood sweetheart. It was said that she had been together with him, but she left him later.

Leonardo thought for a moment and guessed it maybe the actress called Jessica.

Jessica had a good relationship with Summer, so he remembered this name.

In the past, Carl had been a yob who often fought with others. He fought with Warren for a long time and won.

Leonardo was used to this and only looked up when they finished fighting. He said, “Tidy up and go out.”

Then Carl and Warren only tidied up the office and left.

…

Summer spent a day amidst the rumors.

After a period of time, they would be tired and stop gossiping about this.

When she got off work, Tim called her and said he would arrive later since there was a traffic jam on the road.

Summer left the company and wanted to find a place to wait for Tim.

“Summer.”

Summer turned around and saw Karen.

She was a little surprised and asked coldly, “What’s up?”

“I just want to know whether the news online is true?” Karen asked with concern.

Summer felt that something was wrong with Karen. She looked at Karen suspiciously and said, “What happened to you?”

Although Karen didn’t care about her, she couldn’t completely ignore Karen.

Karen smiled gently, “Nothing. It’s just that I saw those comments online and worried about you…”

She paused for a moment and sighed, “It was my fault. If I hadn’t asked you to marry into the Emersons, such things wouldn’t have happened, and you wouldn’t end up like this…”

Summer felt that Karen’s words were more and more outrageous, and her doubts deepened. “Could you please get to the point?”

She didn’t believe that Karen was truly regretful.

“Tell mom the truth whether you and Leonardo’s cousin are really together. Last time I saw you two in the car…”

“Why do you suddenly care about me? What’s your purpose?” Seeing that Karen persisted in the answer, Summer became vigilant.

“Summer, although I didn’t show enough care to you in the past, I do care about you in reality…”

Summer’s phone rang. It was Tim.

She picked up the phone and said, “I’m at the door. Just come over.”

Before she could put away her phone, Karen grabbed her arm and said anxiously, “Who is it?”

“Leonardo sent someone to pick me up.” Summer felt that Karen’s behavior was more and more strange.

She was moved by what Karen had said just now. But now she calmed down and only felt exhausted and numb when looking at Karen’s face.

“I don’t know what Vicky asked you to do, but I remind you to look out for yourself and not to be too dependent on dad?”

It was impossible for Vicky to be filial to Karen in the future. She only treated Karen as a servant. However, Karen still didn’t realize it.

Those words shocked Karen.

Summer got in the car and looked at Karen through the window.

Karen was still there with her head down. Summer couldn’t see her expression, but she felt Karen’s hesitation.

Why was she hesitating?

Was she thinking whether to help Vicky deal with her?

Karen obviously had been trying to make Summer talk. But since she had been living a rich life these past few years, she wasn’t as sensitive as Summer and didn’t know that she had exposed her intention.

Summer discovered her purpose and cautiously avoided Karen’s questions about “Douglas”.

Regardless of what other tricks they had, they could just bring them on.
