Predestined Marriage
Chapter 130: What Happened to Leonardo

Leonardo's goal was to push the Jarrett Group to the edge of the abyss until Lynn could not hold on and let Lynn's father return home.

It had been eleven years since Lynn's father went abroad in a hurry to live out his life in retirement.

In the past eleven years, Lynn's father had hardly been back to the country.

Even if the family wanted to reunite, Lynn would bring the family abroad to visit his father. However, Summer had never been taken abroad by him. Summer suspected that the matter with Adams might be related to Leonardo.

After all, it was impossible for Tip Top to let Adams accept the endorsement of the Jarrett Group, and Carl had a good relationship with Leonardo.

But if it was really related to Leonardo, then why would he force Lynn's father to return home?

"If Vicky and Leonardo's engagement was related to the kidnapping case at that time, then could it be assumed that Leonardo always wanted to force my grandfather to return home because my grandfather was also related to the kidnapping case back then?" Summer looked up at Jessica suddenly.

Jessica shook her head, "But if your grandfather was involved in the kidnapping of Leonardo's mother at that time, why would the Emersons let him go abroad for retirement and let the two families marry?" Summer thought that Jessica's words made sense.

All the things that the Emersons did seemed like they were playing up to the Jarretts.

An idea flashed into Summer's mind. She frowned and said, "My grandfather is in good health. There is no need for him to go abroad for retirement more than ten years ago. There must be some reason that forced him to go abroad. And Vicky and Leonardo's engagement was strange. Putting these two things together..."

After a pause, Summer continued, "I don't believe in such a coincidence. I think that my grandfather must have found out the secret of the Emersons, so they agreed on the marriage. However, the Emersons were cautious and asked my grandfather to go abroad without coming back."

After she finished speaking, she saw Jessica looking at her with a dumbfounded expression.

Summer also felt that her imagination was too great: "Do you think I guessed wrong?"

Jessica shook her head, "No, I think what you said makes sense. Besides, my father knew something about that case back then. Your grandfather did have something to do with that case, but it didn't affect the case at all."

At night.

As Summer turned on the tap, she read the online discussion about Adams being threatened on Weibo.

"Summer!"

Douglas' voice came from outside.

His voice came near, "Summer, are you cooking?"

Summer put down her phone and looked outside the kitchen, seeing Douglas running this way.

As soon as Douglas ran in, he reached for the lid of the pot and said, "What are you cooking? It smells good!"

"Braised pork." Summer patted his hand lightly and said, "Not yet. Wait outside."

"Alright." Douglas drew back his hand with a smile and ran out in a flash.

During dinner, Leonardo did not come back.

Summer looked at Leonardo's usual seat, slightly lost in thought.

Douglas stuffed a piece of roasted pork into his mouth and ate with his mouth full of oil. He vaguely said, "If you miss my cousin, call him."

"I'm not missing him." Summer picked up another piece of meat for him and said, "Just eat."

"OK." Douglas obviously did not believe her words.

After the meal, Leonardo still hadn't returned.

Summer went back to her room. After she took a bath, she sat on the bed and looked at the empty room, always feeling that something was wrong.

Was it because Leonardo wasn't here?

Suddenly, her phone on the bedside table vibrated.

Summer took it over and saw that it was actually Leonardo.

After hesitating for three seconds, she picked it up.

"Hello?"

However, it was not Leonardo on the phone. "Summer, it's Carl. Something happened to Leonardo. Come to the Golden Cauldron now. I've already asked Tim to pick you up." Carl sounded more than anxious, which unsettled Summer.

She remembered the gunshot wound on Leonardo's body last time.

She quickly ran downstairs after getting changed in panic.

Tim had already arrived. Seeing Summer come down in panic, he blinked, "Mrs. Emerson, I'm here to pick you up to the Golden Cauldron Club."

Tim drove very fast and soon they arrived at the Golden Cauldron Club.

Not until Summer got off the car did she ask him, "What happened to Leonardo?"

"Mrs. Emerson, you'll know when you go take a look." Tim looked down respectfully.

Summer became suspicious. Tim didn't seem to be nervous at all.

As soon as she entered the club, she saw Carl.

When Carl saw her, he walked straight up and said, "Summer, you're here."

"Where's Leonardo?" Summer asked him.

Carl coughed softly, "I'll take you to replace him."

When the two of them entered the elevator, Carl explained to her, "There was an accident with Leonardo. He isn't intimate with anyone else. Other than you, I don't know who else can help."

It sounded like she was intimate with Leonardo.

At the door, Carl opened the door and said, "Leonardo is inside. You can go in."

The room was pitch-black without any light on.

Summer felt strange, "What happened to Leonardo?"

Carl sighed, "You'll know when you go in and take a look."

Summer looked at Carl for a few seconds before walking in.

As soon as she entered, the door was shut with a bang.

Summer reached out and pressed the switch of the light. She glanced at the door and called Leonardo's name as she continued to walk inside.

"Leonardo?"

She called several times without getting a reply.

Leonardo lived in a suite. He was not seen in the hall, so Summer walked towards the bedroom.

Summer turned on the light of the bedroom and didn't replace Leonardo in the bedroom either. Just as she was about to leave, she heard the sound of water in the bathroom. She walked to the bathroom door and knocked, "Leonardo? Are you in there?"

There was no light on in the bathroom, and Summer did not hear any response from anyone inside, so she could not be sure if there was anyone inside.

Just as she was about to turn around and leave, a depressed and gloomy voice came from the bathroom, "Get out!"

It was Leonardo's voice!

His voice didn't sound right.

"Leonardo, what's wrong?" Summer knocked on the door and said, "I'm Summer."

The next moment, the bathroom door was suddenly opened.

Leonardo appeared with his pale face. He was drenched in water, wrapped in a bath towel. Summer stood a step away from him and felt the chill emanating from his body. Summer reached out to touch his arm and found that it was freezing!

Leonardo quickly knocked her hand off and said, "Who told you to come? Go back!"
