Predestined Bride

Summer walked out of the villa, and before she could go very far, she heard the sound of a car whistle behind her.

Summer turned around and the car stopped right beside her.

The window was rolled down, revealing the handsome yet annoying face of “Douglas” in Summer’s eyes.

He narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice, “Get in the car. I’ll take you to the company.”

“There is no need,” Summer directly refused. She didn’t want to be noticed.

She could imagine that if “Douglas” sent her to the company, she would be surrounded by people, and then there would be many rumors.

“Douglas” suddenly smiled. His ink-like eyes revealed a somewhat intimidating aura. His voice was solemn. “What are you afraid of?”

“What am I afraid of?”

Summer was shocked for a moment. Then she realized that she had been intentionally treating “Douglas” coldly. In fact, she was afraid.

Although she had always disliked him, she had to admit that he was an outstanding man.

His arrogance seemed to exist in his bones, making others feel that a man like him should be so confident and arrogant. He was like a natural glow that would attract attention.

Sometimes he was a little bad, but he was indeed nice to her.

Such a man was very attractive to women.

Therefore, Summer always consciously avoided him and treated him coldly.

She had the title of Leonardo’s wife, and this title would probably follow her for the rest of her life, so she knew that she had to behave herself.

She was afraid that she would love him.

Seeing that Summer did not speak, Leonardo continued to provoke her, “Or do you have any thoughts about me?”

“Of course not!” Summer refuted him immediately.

By the time she came back to her senses, she had already pulled open the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

“Douglas” stared straight ahead calmly. But there was a trace of happiness out of success hidden in his eyes.

Summer somewhat didn’t dare to look at him. She turned to look out of the window. “How much is your car?”

“Douglas” said, “Not expensive.”

Summer was a little surprised. This car was very rare. In the past, when she was in university, many rich boys would drive to pick up girls at the school gate. Among the cars was Bentley, but she had never seen such a model before.

She thought this car should be expensive.

Leonardo looked at her and said, “But it stopped being produced a few years ago.”

“I just …”

Leonardo interrupted her, “If you want, flatter me and I can consider giving it to you.”

Feeling Summer’s expression suddenly changed, Leonardo realized what he had said.

If he was Leonardo, sending a car to Summer was proper, but if “Douglas” said this, it would be a bit inappropriate.

They didn’t talk anymore until they arrived at the Jarrett Group.Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

When she got off the car, Summer said to him politely, “Thank you.”

There was a deep sense of alienation in her tone.

She closed the car door, turned around, and saw Vicky.

Vicky looked at Summer mockingly and then looked at the car behind her. “It seems that you and Leonardo’s cousin get along well. He picks you up every day.”

“We are family. Of course, we have to live in harmony. Should he be like you?” Summer took two steps forward to approach Vicky. She said in a voice that only they could hear, “Not everyone likes to go to the Violet Gold Club. Next time, don’t try to trick me into going there.”

Vicky’s expression stiffened slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Summer smiled brightly, and her tone carried an unnoticeable threat. “Dad doesn’t like you going to the Violet Gold Club. Watch out for yourself.”

Lynn did not like Summer, but he liked to use her. She was Leonardo’s wife, so she was still of great use. If Lynn knew what Vicky had done to Summer, he would scold Vicky.

Summer understood this, so did Vicky.

But Vicky was not afraid of Summer’s threat at all. She said proudly, “Who will believe you without evidence?”

“Summer, what time do you get off work? I’ll pick you up.”

The voice of “Douglas” sounded suddenly. Summer turned around and looked at him in confusion. Her eyes were like asking, “Why haven’t you left yet?”

Leonardo pretended not to understand her gaze and stood there. It seemed that he would not turn around and leave without waiting for a satisfactory answer.

Summer had no choice but to nod. “OK.”

Leonardo got a satisfactory answer, coldly glanced at Vicky, returned to the car, and drove away.

Vicky’s entire body trembled when she saw his gaze, but a trace of greed appeared in her eyes.

If she had known that Leonardo had such a cousin, and if she had married him, would “Douglas” send her to work as well?

She also thought of the black card that Summer took out that day when they were in the Golden Cauldron Club. She became extremely angry.

She began to regret it. She should have been the one to marry into the Emerson’s!

Summer turned around and saw Vicky greedily looking in the direction where “Douglas” had left.

Summer mocked, “Vicky, are you regretting giving your fiancé to me now? But it’s useless. Even if Leonardo is willing to divorce me, he won’t marry you.”

Although the matter of Vicky’s indecent videos and photos had passed, her reputation had been ruined. The Emersons wouldn’t accept such a disgraced woman.

Vicky’s expression changed after her thought was disclosed by Summer.

But her expression quickly returned to normal. She brushed her hair and said proudly, “I don’t want to marry Leonardo. He is a cripple.”

What she wanted was “Douglas”.

If she could have sex with a top-grade man like “Douglas”, it would be wonderful.

Summer was humble and inexperienced. Would it make sense even if she became beautiful? In terms of dealing with a man, she was more capable than Summer!

Summer, of course, did not know what Vicky was thinking about. She only felt that she was acting like a lunatic.

However, when Vicky said that Leonardo was a cripple, she was unhappy.

“So what if Leonardo is a cripple? You have no right to judge my husband!” Summer still couldn’t calm herself down. She fiercely stepped on Vicky’s foot and strode into the Jarrett Group with her head held high.

Vicky screamed and chased after her. “Summer, you bitch!”

Leonardo, who should have left long ago, walked out from behind the pillar on the side expressionlessly.
