Predestined Bride

Karen stood up and said, “I’ll ask the servant to prepare the dinner.”

Vicky didn’t look at her, and Lynn just nodded at her.

Karen was a little embarrassed, but she didn’t say much more.

As she passed by Summer, she stopped and whispered seriously, “Come out!”

Lynn and Vicky had already sat together and now they were chatting in a whisper.

Summer just glanced at them and followed Karen to leave the study.

Karen took Summer into her former bedroom. As soon as she closed the door, Karen looked at her solemnly, “Did you ask someone to take the video?”

Summer was stunned. She didn’t expect that Lynn believed her while Karen didn’t believe her.

In her impression, Karen was a weak and indecisive woman who completely depended on Lynn and pinned all her hopes on Lynn.

“It was not me…” Summer shook her head like a drum-shaped rattle, her eyes clear and bright.

Indeed, Karen was a woman who didn’t have her own judgement. But she was Summer’s mother who could felt that this thing was not simple.

Karen frowned and said in a serious tone, “Your father and sister trust you very much. Don’t cheat them.”

When Karen was young, her family was poor. But Karen was beautiful and considerate, so Lynn married her.

Summer didn’t know anything when she was a child. But when she grew up, she realized that Lynn married Karen because he wanted a woman to take good care of his two children left by his deceased wife.

Actually, Karen was just a babysitter who warmed the bed at the same time.

She didn’t know what kind of charm Lynn had that made Karen so committed.

“I’m a little hungry.” Summer lowered her head. If she looked at Karen more, she was not sure what she would say.

After Karen forced her to marry into the Emerson family, she could not stand Karen any more.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

When Karen saw her like this, she felt that she had gone too far.

She looked at Summer and softly said, “You go down first.”

After she married into the Emerson family, she didn’t want to be involved with the Jarrett family any more, but she just wanted a quiet life.

However, those people of the Jarrett family didn’t want to let her go.

Well, just wait and see!

…

When she passed the study, she found that the door was half open and there was no one in the room.

Did Lynn and Vicky go downstairs?

As soon as Summer got to the stairway, she could hear someone talking downstairs. In addition to Vicky and her father’s voice, there seemed to be other man’s voice.

At this point of time, who else was in Jarrett’s home?

She walked down the stairs curiously. When she finally saw the man’s face, she was stunned totally.

Lynn had already seen her. He beckoned to her and said, “Summer, come here. Leonardo let his cousin to pick you up.”

Summer didn’t expect to see “Douglas” in Jarrett’s house, which made her so surprised.

He was dressed in a fitting suit, which was very expensive. There was a smile on his handsome face. He sat there casually, but exuding a strong aura.

He probably felt her gaze, so he looked up at her, “Summer, Leonardo let me pick you up.”

Both his smile and his deep voice were ambiguous.

“Oh, I see,” Summer said.

Vicky, however, seemed to think of something suddenly. She got close to Lynn and whispered something. As she spoke, she also glanced at Summer.

Summer knew that Vicky must be speaking ill of her.

Leonardo took the opportunity to observe Summer. When he glimpsed her red and swollen face, he was a little angry and unconsciously clenched his hands on the armrest of the sofa.

No matter how ugly she was, she was his wife!

He never hit her. How could they dare slap her?

Leonardo glanced at Lynn and Vicky, and then looked at Summer, saying in a deep voice, “Come here!”

Summer didn’t really want to go there, but Douglas’s reckless style let Summer feel scared. She didn’t know what he was doing here, so she decided to follow him first.

She didn’t believe Leonardo let “Douglas” pick her up.

When she sat down next to “Douglas”, he just turned his head to look at her and said in a strange tone, “Summer, your face is so swollen that I can hardly recognize you.”

Summer remembered that she had been slapped by Vicky before, and her face had been swollen. Vicky slapped her so hard that she was numb with pain. Now, she almost forgot about it.

When Leonardo spoke, he took a look at Vicky and Lynn.

Vicky had been a little afraid of the powerful aura of Leonardo. At this time, when he asked about Summer’s face, Vicky was a little scared and she immediately looked at Summer in a very unfriendly way.

Summer showed a frightened expression, pursed her lips and explained to “Douglas”, “I just fell down by accident.”

Such a poor lie could easily be exposed.

Leonardo, squinting his eyes, leaned forward to Summer and said, “Is that true?”

Summer didn’t dare to look at him, so she lowered her head and said, “Yes.”

Leonardo sneered and stopped talking.

Summer read something from his laughter: “You really don’t know what is good for you.”

“Douglas” came here in the name of picking up her. From another angle, it also showed that Leonardo attached great importance to Summer.

No matter whether “Douglas” was sent by Leonardo or not, Summer knew that if she told “Douglas” that she was hit by Vicky, he would certainly stand out for her.

Summer thought that she could handle the affairs of the Jarrett family well. And, “Douglas” was too dangerous, so she didn’t want to get too much involved with him.

Lynn was very satisfied with Summer’s answer, and his tone became more gentle, “Mr. Douglas came to our home specially. Let’s have dinner together!”

Leonardo leaned back on the sofa and said casually, “OK.”

It was a special surprise for Lynn.

Although “Douglas” was only a collateral relative of the Emerson family, it must be right to curry favor with him.

Lynn picked up the phone which the servant handed over and left. Vicky felt a little uncomfortable, so she casually made an excuse to leave.

Then, there were only Summer and Leonardo left in the living room.

Summer looked around, frowned and whispered, “What are you doing here?”
