Chapter 68 Sell Me Again
Summer walked out and went to the bus stop.
Many people were waiting for buses. Suddenly, a black car stopped in front of her.
Lynn rolled down the window and said, “Get in.”
Summer hesitated for a moment. Then she went in.
A driver and Lynn were in the car. After Summer got in, she did not speak anything.
The driver drove for a while and then parked by the roadside.
After a while, Lynn said, “Summer, I know you didn’t leave work early. It’s all a big misunderstanding.
Your sister had suffered so much. The past is the past. Let’s forget about it”
Summer sneered, “Forget about it?”
Lynn frowned, “After all the things you did to your sister, what else do you want?”
“Here,” Summer pointed at her swollen face and said, “It was Vicky.”
Why would she let it go?
Lynn said coldly, “I didn’t know you were so mean.”
“Well, I’m no match for you. I never thought you would slap your daughter so hard.” Summer lowered
her head, fiddling with the zipper on her bag. She said casually, but with heavy sarcasm.
Lynn was so humiliated by “Douglas”. He was still angry.
Hearing Summer mention it again, he became furious.
“I was forced by a brat today. I am heartbreaking to see Vicky in pain,” Lynn got emotional and said
loudly.
Summer covered her ears and said impatiently, “Alright, I know. Is there anything else?”
She had to go back and cook for “Douglas”.
Lynn glanced at Summer. He could see her impatience and indifference.
He was confident that he could let Summer ask Leonardo to invest in his company. But now he was not
so sure about it.
He thought for a moment and sighed, “You heard what Douglas said today.”
Summer did not say anything. He continued, “Investing mistakes have plunged the company into a
fund chain break. You’re my daughter. You should help us.”
Summer’s mouth twisted in a contemptuous sneer. She said sharply, “Didn’t they give you 300 million
yuan as bride price? You’ve sold me for money. How can I help you now? Do you want to sell me
again? I’m afraid no one wants me now.”
Lynn said sternly, “You were married to him. How can you say we sell you?”
“Vicky was the one who should marry him.” Summer stared up at Lynn. She was not afraid of him.
Lynn was shocked by Summer’s gaze, so cold and distant. She was no longer the obedient daughter.
Persuasion didn’t work. Lynn’s face darkened. He threatened, “Do you think the Emersons will still be
nice to you when my company falls apart? You’ll have a hard time without our support.”
“I can get a divorce then.” Summer didn’t care at all.
She finally knew why Lynn was willing to give her shares of the company and insisted on her working in
his company.
It turned out that he wanted her to convince Leonardo to invest money in his company.
They had it all planned out.
Lynn pointed at her. He was so angry and speechless.
“Let me tell you the truth,” Summer said seriously, “Why did Leonardo and Vicky get engaged back
then? Is there something furtive about any of this?”
Lynn’s face changed. He said anxiously, “What are you talking about? Your sister is too good for him.
Leonardo lost his chance.”
Lynn was a man of calculation. Ten years ago, his company wasn’t in a good shape. He knew clearly
that the Emersons wouldn’t agree to this marriage.
Lynn’s expression and the eagerness to deny all proved there was something dirty behind this
marriage.
Summer had always been wondering it. She only asked today. But his reaction piqued her interest.
“It’s getting late. I’m going home. If there’s anything else, we can talk about it tomorrow.” Summer
looked at the time, opened the door and jumped out of the car.
Lynn shouted from behind, “Summer!”
Summer turned her head, smiled and waved him goodbye.
…
Returning to the villa, Summer saw “Douglas” as soon as she entered.
He was still wearing the suit, which had ink-blue stripes, suggesting an aristocratic pedigree.
“You were an hour later than usual. You can have a candlelight dinner with other men in an hour.”
“Douglas” looked at the time and looked at her coldly.
Summer glared at him, threw her bag at him and went into the kitchen.
Leonardo caught her bag. Then he looked at the back of her.
Was she angry?
All of a sudden, a phone rang.
It was in Summer’s bag. Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
He unzipped it and took her phone out.
It was from Jessica.
Jessica? There was a Jessica in Carl’s company.
A woman?
He noticed Summer had protected this mobile phone with a phone case and screen protector.
A smile flickered across his face. He wanted to take the phone to Summer, but he accidentally touched
the “answer” button.
Jessica’s voice came from the phone, “Summer, do you know Adams is in Hoover City now? You might
run into him someday. I’m coming back soon. I’ll ask around and see if he will show up at some events.
I can take you to see him.”
Hearing what Jessica said, Leonardo stopped.
Jessica was confused, “Hello? Summer, are you listening? Are you too happy to speak? Or the
connection is bad?”
Summer happened to come out of the kitchen. “I heard my phone ring.”
Leonardo tossed it to her, and then he turned and walked away.
Summer nearly missed it. She glanced at him and muttered to herself, “Childish.”
Summer took her phone into the kitchen. Leonardo turned around and looked at her gloomily.
He remembered the day when Summer returned home early, Adams Wilson came back to Hoover City.
When he saw Adams, he kept asking him about her.
Leonardo took his phone out and called Tim, “Find out where Summer went and who she met last
Friday.”
