Predestined Marriage -
Chapter 328 A Tool to Earn Money
Summer knew exactly how easy Leonardo would get jealous.
If she admitted that she had gotten herself a "new boyfriend", Leonardo would definitely be petty to her at that time.
A boyfriend and "a new boyfriend" were at least different.
After Summer finished dealing with the reporters, she did not have the guts to go to the Film and TV City again today. When she called Eliza, Eliza used the news to make fun of her. "You're so trending these days, and you've saved our crew a lot of publicity fee."
"Since that's the case, can you consider giving me some dividends for the money earned from 'Lost City'?" Summer replied calmly.
Eliza said angrily, "You are thinking about dividends now? 'Lost City' isn't even finished! When did you become a miser?"
Summer did not deny, "Nobody hates money. The more, the better!"
As she spoke to Eliza, she walked towards the parking lot.
Just as she found her car and pressed the unlock button, she heard a familiar female voice behind her, "Summer."
She turned around and saw Kate in a white suit.
"Are you talking to me?" Summer pointed at herself.
Kate raised her chin and said coldly, "Is there anyone else here?"
"Just say what you want. It's hot, and I'm in a hurry." Summer leaned against the car as she shook the car keys in her hand and then raised her hand to cover herself from the sun.
It was still very hot at the end of August.
"Although you have divorced Leonardo, you were once his wife. Please respect yourself. I don't care whether you are trying to humiliate yourself or not, but don't always think about riding on the wave of Leonardo's popularity. I don't want to see him lose face because of you."
Kate said righteously. Summer almost believed that Kate was a good sister who loved her younger brother.
Summer narrowed her eyes slightly. With a smile on her face, she said slowly, "What you're worried about is not whether Leonardo will lose face. You're afraid that this matter will hit the image of the Emersons, you yourself will be affected."
Kate interrupted her sternly, "Shut up. It's not your turn to judge what is happening between our siblings!"
Summer sneered, "Is that so? Well, it's not your turn to mind my own business, either."
"If you hadn't been despicably riding on the wave of Leonardo's popularity, I would never bother to mind your business! I don't care who you're with or what you're doing. Girl, you'd better be self-respecting."
Kate's face was filled with disdain.
Summer wasn't angry at all. She just thought it funny.
She knew what Kate meant. Kate was saying that every time Summer went viral online, she did it because of Leonardo. This time was no exception. She was photographed kissing in the car, and Leonardo was also talked about by the netizens.
This was something Summer didn't expected.
However, this did not mean that she had to agree with Kate's remarks on her.
"Who are you to teach me a lesson? My mother? As for whether or not I've been riding on the wave of Leonardo's popularity--well, I think he knows better than anyone. Why didn't he come to me? Does he need you to help him with this matter?"
Kate's face was getting uglier and uglier. Looking at her, Summer put away her original careless expression and said seriously, "I understand your selfishness and your meddling with me. If you are truly Leonardo's sister, you should care more about him."
Although Kate and Leonardo were twins, they never got along well with each other.
When Leonardo was kidnapped at a young age, he watched his mother being humiliated and killed herself just the moment before the rescue team arrived. After that, his closest twin sister showed him no concern. Instead, she disliked him and viewed him as a weird child.
Leonardo would not tell Summer such a detailed story. Summer could only see the whole picture from what Leonardo talked about occasionally.
Kate had been a selfish person since her childhood, and she knew best what was good for her.
Though Leonardo was her younger brother, he was more of a tool than a family to Kate.
She was an Emerson. She knew that Leonardo was more capable than her. Only Leonardo could manage the Emerson Group well so as to ensure the wealth and prosperity of their family. Summer finally understood that apart from Douglas, the other Emersons were all the same as Kate.
They used Leonardo as a tool to earn money.
Kate's face turned pale when she heard this. She said, "Summer, don't think too highly of yourself!"
"I don't, and you know that." Summer touched her forehead with one hand and realized that she was sweating.
The temperature outside was so high that she only stood for a few minutes when she broke out in such sweat.
"I have to go." She had nothing to say to Kate, so she pulled open the door and got into the car.
As she drove past Kate, Summer noticed her gloomy expression.
From the looks of it, Kate and Leonardo were indeed alike.
After all, they were twins. Not only did they look alike, they even gave off the same aura.
When Summer drove back, she saw a luxury car downstairs.
She stopped the car steadily and looked at the luxury car. She couldn't help becoming a little nervous. Residents of this place wouldn't own such a luxury car at a first glance. Someone was looking for her.
She unbuckled her seat belt and got out of the car. Meanwhile, the person in the luxury car also opened the door.
Summer stopped and turned to look at the people who got out of the car.
The man was dressed in black. He said in a gentle voice, "Summer."
Summer was surprised for a moment before she said, "Mr. Adams, what brings you here?"
Summer became alert. What did Adams want from her?
She had indeed had a wonderful day today. First, she was "attacked" by reporters, then Kate, and now, Adams.
Had these people planned her day in advance?
Adams closed the car door and walked straight to Summer. He said sincerely, "You don't need to be so on guard. I came here today to ask for your help."
"You think I can handle something that even you can't handle?" Summer subconsciously took another two steps back.
Summer's words were harsh, but Adams obviously didn't care at all.
He sighed and said, "My father has passed away. Douglas has been frustrated these days. I was wondering whether you can go and chat with him if you have time."
Summer was astonished.
Nathan died in a car accident, and Summer was actually worried about Douglas.
Little did she think that Adams would come to her.
"You are his brother. It's enough for him to have you by his side," she said, despite the fact that she knew that Adams and Douglas were not biological brothers. Adams shook his head, "I came here today only for Douglas. You don't need to be too sensitive. I know that you and Douglas are on speaking terms, so I came." Summer looked at Adams for a while. Indeed, she could not tell anything wrong from his face. She nodded and said, "I'll go and talk to him some other day."I
