Predestined Marriage
Chapter 221: Not Everyone Can See Mrs. Emerson

Karen looked at Lynn in disbelief and said in a trembling voice, "You hit me?"

Lynn was her high school classmate. Karen was from a small village, and she went to Hoover City to study. At that time, the Jarretts could be seen as a powerful family there, so Lynn was kind of a ladies' man in the school.

Karen also liked him, but she knew the difference between them.

After Lynn's ex-wife passed away, she met him again.

At that time, Lynn was immersed in the grief of losing his beloved wife. Karen stayed by his side and comforted him. Most importantly, she was very pretty, and she promised to treat his children well. Thus, Lynn married her.

Over the years, Karen had tried hard to please him and took care of him and his children. They could be considered as a sweet couple.

They hardly quarreled with each other.

Even if they quarreled, Lynn would apologize first. He had never hit her before.

"I did hit you. So what? Look at what you've done for the family these years. You promised me that you would take good care of my children. Have you done so?" Lynn was a rare one-woman man.

His ex-wife had died many years ago, but he would visit her grave every year. He even put her photographs on his desk.

He also loved the children that his ex-wife had given birth to.

Back then, Karen married him because she liked him. But the most important reason was Lynn's deep affection for his lover. "Didn't you see what I've done for the family these years?" Tears were rolling down Karen's cheeks.

She had done a lot for the family.

She thought she had done her best.

Lynn sneered, "You've done a lot? Then go beg your daughter to let Vicky off! Vicky is just impulsive. Isn't Summer alright now?" Karen had said this before. But now that Lynn said this, she thought that it was so harsh.

Somehow, she felt that he shouldn't have said this.

However, she didn't know why.

Over the years, she had habitually been nice to Vicky, and even asked Summer to give in to Vicky.

Therefore, no matter what Vicky did, Karen would think that Summer should just let it go.

Lynn was still cursing Summer.

Lynn's slap already let Karen down. Now when she heard him cursing Summer, she felt a little annoyed.

She staggered up from the ground and said, "I can't help you with this. Solve it by yourself."

She had done a lot for him, but he did not take her efforts seriously.

She knew that Vicky looked down on her and even called her a dog.

However, she loved Lynn, so she didn't care about anything.

Now that even Lynn disliked her, she suddenly felt tired.

Hearing this, Lynn's expression changed, "Karen, what do you mean?"

Karen's face was swollen, and she shook her head, "Nothing. I just get bored." Although she smiled, she looked hideous and disgusting because of her swollen face.

Lynn was upset. He didn't expect Karen to quarrel with him at such a critical juncture.

He snorted, "You depend on me, and I'm so nice to you. But now you say you get bored? If so, you can scram."

Karen felt hurt. She opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

She slammed the door and ran out of the study.

After she left, a servant came to Lynn and said, "Mrs. Karen left...."

Lynn was surprised. He didn't expect that Karen would really leave.

He thought that Karen couldn't live without him and would return sooner or later.

He waved carelessly, "Let her go!"

Karen ran out of the Jarrett's with no money, so she didn't know where to go.

When she was young, she had a few good friends, but they were all from ordinary families.

After marrying Lynn, she broke off with those friends. Later, she was busy taking care of Lynn and Vicky, so she had no time to make friends.

She knew some rich ladies, but she would only go shopping with them.

How would she be willing to ask them for help?

Finally, she thought of Summer.

Summer had been obedient to her before. Karen thought of this and took a taxi to Leonardo's villa.

Although Summer had said that she wouldn't interfere with Vicky's case, Karen didn't believe that Summer would ignore her.

She had been to Leonardo's villa once before.

The taxi stopped three meters away from the villa.

Karen got out of the car and tidied up her clothes. Then she walked towards the villa with her head held high.

The bodyguard at the door stopped her.

"Who are you?"

The bodyguard asked with a cold face.

Karen was a little frightened. But when she thought of herself as Summer's mother, she became confident, "I am Summer's mother."

Thinking of that Summer had said that Vicky had almost killed her and her child, Karen added, "Summer is pregnant. I'm her mother, so I come to visit her."

The bodyguard looked at her in disbelief and said, "Wait here."

Then he stepped aside and took out his phone to call Leonardo.

Because Vicky had attempted to hit Summer, Leonardo became cautious. He had told his bodyguards that if Summer wanted to go out, they must follow her. If someone came to replace Summer, they must inform Leonardo first.

The call was connected soon.

"Mr. Emerson, there is a woman who calls herself Mrs. Emerson's mother. She said that she was here to visit Mrs. Emerson."

Leonardo was having a meeting with senior executives of the company. He glanced at them and said indifferently, "Drive her away."

"Yes, sir."

After hanging up, Leonardo put his phone aside and said, "Continue."

He had taken over the Emerson Group for less than half a month.

The Emerson family was the top wealthy family in Hoover City. The Emerson Group held almost half of the market in the city, and it involved in all kinds of industries. Thus, it was difficult for Leonardo to manage it well.

However, after he took over the company, he took a series of actions, which impressed all the executives and shareholders.

The bodyguard hung up the phone and winked at another bodyguard.

Karen saw this and thought the bodyguard had asked Summer, so she said, "See, I didn't lie to you."

The bodyguard said coldly, "Mrs. Emerson is not here. You can come another day."

Karen did not want to leave and said, "She'll come back at night, right? I can wait for her inside...."

The bodyguard stopped talking nonsense with Karen and carried her down the mountain.

At a bend in the road, he threw Karen by the roadside.

Then he said with contempt, "Not everyone can see Mrs. Emerson."☐☐☐
