Predestined Bride

Chapter 21 I’m Now a Part of the Emerson Family



Leonardo was indifferent looking at her face flushed with anger. He calmly said, “Are you in trouble?”

Summer pinched her blanket and said coldly, “It’s none of your business.”

Her cold face had no threat in his eyes at all.

“Of course it’s none of my business, but if you beg me, I’ll consider helping you.” Leonardo looked at her nonchalantly. He didn’t hide his ill intentions.

Summer will never beg him.

Leonardo looked at her deeply, turned, and walked out.

He walked a couple of steps and met Tim.

Tim gently nodded, and asked for his opinion, “Boss, what are we doing about the news on missus?”

Leonardo recalled what Summer said, snickered and laughed coldly, said, “What does it have to do with me? Even if I want to help, she has to want my help, ah!”

Leonardo went to the study as soon as he finished.

Tim looked at his back view and realized that boss’s last ‘Ah’ had a hint of resignation.

Summer didn’t plan to be bothered by the news on social media.

She doesn’t know why Vicky suddenly did that and she can’t be bothered to guess.

She only knew that Jessica already knew that she had replaced Vicky to be married to the Emerson family. Thereafter, Jessica may directly tear her up.

Even if Jessica wanted to tear her up, she still had to find Jessica.

Both of them found a more remote cafe.

After all, Jessica was a small actress with a following of seven to eight hundred fans. She will also be worried about being recognized in public.

When she arrived at the cafe, Jessica had already arrived.

Jessica had a mask on, her hair tied to a ponytail and wore a simple white outer jacket. She looks clean and tidy. Add to that a unique look, everyone would look in her direction.

Jessica was like this since young. She was always the focal point and easily attracted attention wherever she went.

Summer sat down opposite her and greeted with an apologetic tone, “Waited for long?”

Jessica crossed her arms and leaned back on the sofa, looked her in the eyes and said slowly, “You are the missus of Emerson family, a nobody like me should wait for you.”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

Summer, “…”

When Jessica saw that Summer was speechless, she stopped her viciousness.

She took off her mask, tossed it aside, and said rudely, “Your own mother seems to have been cast a spell by someone. She spoilt someone else’s daughter and disregarded her own daughter. She never considered for your well being. I always said that you should be careful, look what happened now, you were fooled into marrying into the Emerson family!”

After Jessica finished, she picked up the glass and drank it entirely.

Summer adjusted the eyeglasses on her nose and reminded her, “Drink slowly.”

Jessica glared at her, “Did the Emerson family mistreat you?”

“No, the Emersons are quite nice.” Except for ‘Douglas’ who kept pestering her, the rest were nice to her.

Jessica remembered the proper matter that they are supposed to discuss, “Do you know why Vicky wanted to buy the top search to say that you snatched her fiance?”

“How do you know that it was Vicky who bought the search?” Summer paused as she was pouring her a glass of water.

Jessica looked at her as if she was looking at a fool, “Look at you, who would bother to slander you at this moment unless there is something to gain.”

“What is there to gain?” Summer really didn’t understand why Vicky would do such a thing.

Jessica laughed coldly and said, “Before I boarded the flight, I asked a paparazzi friend of mine to ask around. What Vicky did, was so that she could openly be with Jerome. She was just short of a stepping stone, you.”

When she heard Jessica said that, Summer naturally understood.

Although the Emerson family didn’t mind that the person who married into the family wasn’t Vicky, Emerson had some influence in Hoover city. No one dared to be too close to Vicky.

At this time, Vicky had to resolve Leonardo’s fiancee’s status.

That was why she went to the social media to buy the hot search and slander Summer, thereby letting herself become a kind and loving sister.

Summer pursed her lips and said, “What a beautiful plot.”

“And? What do you intend to do?” Jessica thought about something and continued to ask, “I ask you, married Leonardo just like that, you all…”

“He despises me because I’m ugly. We’re cold as ice.” Summer knew about what she was asking and said directly.

“The ugly will really cause trouble, he can’t perform and despise others for being ugly. Just dress up and makeup and you’ll blind his eyes with your beauty!” Recently Jessica’s films were about seeking revenge. That’s why she loves counter attacks.

Summer laughs, “No need, we’re fine as we are now.”

To each his own, it was a pretty good arrangement.

A while later, Jessica left after she received a call from her agent.

Before she left she was vying for the check.

Summer wasn’t as tall as her nor was her hand longer than hers. Jessica won.

Though she was typically loud and boyish, she was very attentive to the minor details. She knew that Summer doesn’t earn much and whenever they dine together, she’ll always find a means to pay for it.

Summer felt touched but also felt bad about it.

Jessica knew all her secrets and the issues of the Jarrett family.

Long ago, Jessica once said that Summer shouldn’t hope much from her family, especially Karen.

But she didn’t believe until she was forced to marry into the Emerson family.

But even at this point, not only were they unsatisfied, they wanted to make use of her.

Do they think that she can be so easily used?

Summer was about to take a car back to Leonardo’s villa when she received a call from Karen.

Karen’s voice was unusually warm, “Summer, can you come home for dinner?”

At this critical moment, Karen was so caring to give her a call, obviously she did it for purposes.

Summer rejected, and said calmly, “I’m busy.”

Karen didn’t expect her to reject outrightly. Her tone stiffened, “You are jobless now, what are you busy with? Come home for dinner, everyone’s here…”

“Oh, I’m now with the Emerson family.” Summer cut off Karen’s words.

Karen was furious now and yelled, “Does a daughter speak like that to her mother?”

She never used such a tone to speak to Karen and Karen will not talk to Vicky with impatience.

In the end, it was because she didn’t care.

Karen didn’t care about her and that explained the attitude.

Now she doesn’t care about Karen and thus she can’t warm up to her.

“Then look for Vicky, she’s more filial and soft. She’s good in every way.” Summer hung up the call as soon as she finished saying.
