Predestined Bride

Summer was mocking this reporter for her shameless act of asking people about their sex life in public.

The reporter who asked the question understood it too.

Lynn indeed paid these reporters. He wanted to take this opportunity to defend Vicky, so most of them kept asking Summer questions. However, this reporter was the only one who had asked about Leonardo to gain attention.

The Emersons had great power and influence. Ordinary people couldn’t afford to offend them. But some people wanted to walk a tightrope and risk their lives to provoke the Emersons.

The reporter got embarrassed from the laughter of the others. So, she gave up covering her intentions and said viciously, “You’re not pretty. How could you have married into Leonardo’s family if he is not impotent? You don’t have to hide it. If you could snatch away your sister’s fiancé to marry into a wealthy family, you will definitely cheat on Leonardo!”

Although Summer had not seen Leonardo until now, she did not want to involve him in these troubles.

Leonardo’s eccentric personality had something to do with his experiences. Whether he was good at sex or not, this should not be discussed by these people in public.

“Cheat on him? Is anyone more promising than Leonardo in the Hoover City?” Summer smiled, her eyes crinkling around the edges. Her tone became light, “And we’re good in bed. If you don’t believe it, you can ask my husband, Leonardo.”

“You!”

The reporter thought Summer would swear angrily at her. However, she was defeated by Summer’s calm retort.

Ask Leonardo?

Not to mention asking Leonardo, they didn’t even have the opportunity to meet him. Even if they saw Leonardo, they would only cozy up to him. How could they dare to ask such a question?

Only then did the other reporters, who were eager to dig up some secrets, realize something. Summer was not just the third young miss from a small family company, who was not favored by her parents, but also a young madam who had married into the Emersons.

Although she did not seem to be favored by the Emersons now, who knew what would happen in the wealthy family?

As a result, these reporters stopped being sharp and asked much more tactfully.

“Are you intimate with your sister Vicky?”

Summer smiled, “When I was young, I liked her very much.” This meant she didn’t like Vicky anymore when she grew up.

“Your mother loves you sisters very much?”

“Yes, she’s fine.” Karen did treat Vicky very well.

“…”

Only in the end did the reporters remember that they had taken Lynn’s money. So, they pulled the question back to the video.

“Someone said on the Internet that you deliberately provoked your sister and bribed the paparazzi to take that video. So, you did it for hype?”

Summer was silent for nearly 30 seconds before nodding, “Yes.”

…

After the interview was over and the reporters left, Vicky angrily walked to Summer and said, “I want you to admit that quickly. Why were you hesitating for so long? Did you do it on purpose?”

After she finished speaking, she still couldn’t calm down. So, she raised her hand to slap Summer.

Summer had been paying attention to Vicky’s movements. She carelessly took half a step back and dodged Vicky’s hand.

Seeing this, Vicky got angrier. She stared at Summer with wide eyes and said, “Don’t you dare!”

“Vicky!” Lynn stopped Vicky from slapping Summer again.

When Vicky saw Lynn, she walked over with a wronged expression, “Dad, the reporter asked her if she was hyping, and she hesitated for so long!”

Lynn looked at Summer doubtfully.

He had heard Summer’s words against the reporter just now. A stupid woman like Summer shouldn’t be able to say that at all.

Summer looked at Lynn and took off her mask. She bit her lips in fear and said, “Dad, I haven’t eaten breakfast. I’m a little hungry. Can I…?”

“Go ahead,” Lynn turned to Karen and said, “You go with her and buy her something to eat.”

…

Summer and Karen left the building together.

“Summer.” Karen suddenly stepped forward and stopped Summer.

Summer turned around and said calmly, “Mom, what’s wrong?”

“About Mr. Emerson…” Karen seemed to be troubled. She hesitated and asked, “Is he the same as the rumors? Or is he fine?”

Summer was surprised, and then she lowered her head and put on a shy look, “Mom, why are you asking that?”

Seeing her like this, Karen frowned and said, “You have to tell me the truth. Is there anything wrong with Leonardo? You know, if he is healthy, you are out of his league. Your sister is the person his grandfather wanted.”

Summer was shocked.

If she did not take it wrong, Karen was saying that if Leonardo was fine, she would let her divorce Leonardo and let Vicky marry him?

Summer was so angry that she even smiled, “If Leonardo hadn’t been disfigured and stayed healthy, it wouldn’t have been me or Vicky!”

All these years, to make Karen happy, she had been too tired to pretend in her family. Now, she was too lazy to pretend anymore.

“Vicky’s your sister,” Karen was not satisfied with Summer calling Vicky by her name.

Summer asked Karen, “Am I your daughter?”

Karen frowned even deeper, “Summer, what do you mean? You weren’t like this before.”

That was because Summer used to be willing to play dumb with them.

But now, she did not want to do so, nor did she want to plead for their love.

Summer didn’t want to talk to Karen anymore. She turned around and left. Karen called her from behind. But she walked faster and quickly disappeared into the crowd.

After all, Karen was her mother. Although Summer tried not to care about it, she couldn’t help but feel sad.

She walked at the back of the crowd, absent-mindedly crossing the road.

Suddenly, she heard a car horn. She looked up and didn’t watch her step. So, she tripped over something beside her feet.

Although she wore thick clothes in winter, she still hissed in pain when she landed on her knees.

Then she heard the car door opened. Before she could see who that person was, she heard a familiar voice, “Summer, you cross the road like that. Do you want to scam others?”

Now Summer saw that it was “Douglas” in a nice suit.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

She was in a bad mood, and she didn’t want to see this man.

Summer gritted her teeth and stood up from the ground in pain. She turned around and was about to leave. Then she was grabbed by a big hand and heard him saying in an indifferent and deep voice, “You fell?”

Summer remained silent. She wanted to shake off his hand, but she failed.

Next moment, “Douglas” carried her in his arms.
