Predestined Bride

Summer cast a glance at him and said seriously, “I won’t come down. These hooligans are trying to hurt you. Don’t be afraid. I’ll teach them a lesson!”

Hearing Summer’s words, Carl, who had been sneakily following them, laughed out loud.

Leonardo was the one who always pushed people around, not the other way around.

Summer looked up at those people, and shouted, “Did you all hear what I said? Hurry up and apologize!”

Those men couldn’t have a woman leaning on them, so they rolled up their sleeves and were about to fight.

Coincidentally, Tim brought the bodyguards over and took care of the hooligans in no time.

Tim walked up to Leonardo and respectfully asked, “Mr. Emerson, what would you like them to do?”

Leonardo glanced at Summer, who was still holding a wine bottle and shouting “good job.” A trace of connivance appeared in his eyes as he replied, “Tell them to kowtow and apologize to her.”

Time thought that he heard it wrong. “What?”

Then, this happened.

A bunch of men knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Summer, and apologized, “Forgive me. I was wrong.”

…

On the way back, Tim drove, and Leonardo sat in the back holding Summer who was already asleep.

From time to time, Tim checked on them through the rearview mirror.

He saw Leonardo holding Summer like she was a treasure. Although he couldn’t see Leonardo’s expressions clearly, Tim knew that he was in a good mood judging from the soothing atmosphere.

But he couldn’t figure out why.

Not long after, the car arrived at the door of the villa.

Leonardo carried Summer out of the car. When he went upstairs, he paused at the door of his room and eventually carried her to her room.

She had made quite a noise at the bar. But now she was much quieter when she was asleep.

She had acted like a ruffian, waving a wine bottle and shouting. Where did she learn that?

Summer was sleeping soundly. Her nose moved when she breathed, and her bright lips were slightly open, attracting people to pick them.

Leonardo bent down and stared at her for a few seconds. Not able to endure the urge, he kissed her on the lips.

At the end of the kiss, his voice became a little hoarse, “You stink.”

After that, he adjusted the temperature of the heating system for her, covered her with a quilt, and turned around to leave.

…

The next day.

When Summer woke up, she felt the world was spinning.

She closed her eyes again and opened them after a while. Only then did she feel better.

She sat up on the bed and looked blankly at the familiar room. Then she got out of bed and entered the bathroom.

How did she get back last night?

She remembered that “Douglas” went to the bar to look for her, and then they drank together. What happened afterwards … was a blur!

Cleaning up, she opened the door and went downstairs, looking around like a thief as she walked.

She had only drunk with Jessica before, and according to Jessica, she became another person after drinking.

Therefore, she was not sure if she had done anything excessive to Douglas last night.

Walking all the way to the hall, Summer did not see Douglas, so she felt relieved.

“Good morning, Summer.”

The sudden male voice shocked her.

She followed the sound and saw “Douglas” walking out of the kitchen with a glass of water.

Summer forced a smile. “Hi, good morning.”

As Leonardo approached, he noticed that Summer’s complexion was not bad, his tone laced with a trace of undetectable dissatisfaction as he said, “Did you sleep well last night?”NôvelDrama.Org © content.

Summer answered truthfully, “I did…”

“Fine.” Leonardo sneered and walked past her.

Good for her! But he had been having exciting dreams all night.

Summer followed and said thoughtfully, “Thank you for drinking with me last night.”

As she spoke, she observed the changes in Douglas’ expressions.

She had no clue what happened last night.

Leonardo turned his head to look at her. Noticing that she looked normal, he realized she did not remember last night.

His eyes flashed and he said mysteriously, “You’d better not drink. You were lucky to have me yesterday. If it had been someone else…”

His hesitant expression gave Summer a chill.

What had she done?

However, “Douglas” didn’t seem to be in the sharing mood, so she figured that it was nothing good. Naturally, she did not dare to ask. What if it was embarrassing?

Leonardo looked at Summer’s frightened expression with satisfaction and went upstairs with the water.

This woman usually looked weak and calm. He had never thought that she would get so naughty being drunk.

If he hadn’t been there to help, who would clean up her mess?

Summer was just too sad yesterday, and Jessica was not in town. The shooting took a toll on her mind, but she did not want to bother Jessica with her troubles.

Apart from drinking, she couldn’t think of a way to relieve the pain.

Now that she was calm, she found herself useless.

Until now, Karen probably didn’t feel that she had wronged Summer. Summer was the only one who was feeling sad.

Summer could always draw a clear distinction between love and hate.

She had listened to Karen back then, because she had been seeking attention and love from her.

But now Summer understood that her pitiful wishes could never be granted.

She and Vicky were enemies now, so Vicky naturally would not make things easy for her.

And Summer was thinking the same thing.

They had used her. But now they were acting like they were innocent and ganging up on her. Summer could not let them have their way.

…

When Summer arrived at the Jarrett Group, she went straight to Lynn’s office.

Lynn was not happy to see Summer, saying with a frown, “What are you doing here?”

“Market researcher does not suit me. I want to transfer to the project department and learn from my sister,” Summer said with a sincere expression, making it difficult for Lynn to tell if she was being honest.

Market researchers were grass roots, while the project department was the most important.

Lynn put Summer in the marketing department from the beginning because he didn’t want her to come near the projects. In this way, even though she held the Jarrett Group’s shares, it was useless.

“You can’t even be a good market researcher, and you want to learn from Vicky? Do you think you can do the job?” Lynn thought for a moment, but still didn’t believe Summer.

Summer smiled and said with a serious face, “I just think that I can learn a lot from my outstanding sister. Actually, I have been admiring her since I was young. When I was a little girl, I used to listen to her, which shows how much I love her. But I’ve been making mistakes recently…”

As she continued, her voice lowered, and she even forced two teardrops.
