Predestined Marriage
Chapter 495 You Also Suspect Him?

Rosie was praised by both her parents, and happily picked up her brush and then continued drawing. Summer returned to the kitchen.

Leonardo walked to the dining table and noticed some of the dishes on the table were his favorites.

He moved his eyebrows slightly as he walked into the kitchen quietly.

Summer stood with her back to him. She was waiting for the water in the pot to boil, so she could add the beaten eggs into it. She was cooking tomato and egg soup tonight.

The water in the pot was boiling. Just as Summer was about to pour the eggs in, she felt someone approaching from behind her.

Before she could turn around, Leonardo's arm was already tied around her waist. Then, he put the other arm around her, pulling her entirely into his embrace. Summer was caught off guard by Leonardo's hug. She was so shocked that her hands trembled and all the eggs in the bowl were poured into the pot.

The eggs were cooked quickly, and they turned into a lump as soon as they were poured into the water.

Summer didn't have time to speak. She quickly took a spoon and stirred the soup in the pot, in a wish to save her soup.

With the stirring, the soup in the pot turned into egg drop soup.

Summer turned off the fire and turned her head to look at Leonardo, "Let me go!"

Leonardo, who was hugging her from behind, did not listen. Instead, he said, "I just want a hug."

He buried his head in her neck, and his voice sounded a little low and distant.

Summer paused for a moment before considering what to say.

She ladled the soup from the pot and patted Leonardo's hand, "You said just one hug."

As expected, Leonardo let go of her.

He straightened up and slightly turned around to bring out the soup to the table. His movements were extremely smooth and pleasing to the eyes. Leonardo was a man with a good temperament. He was extraordinarily handsome even if he was serving soup in a narrow kitchen.

When Summer followed him out, she heard him say, "Rosie, it's time to eat."

Rosie replied somewhat impatiently, "I want to draw."

Leonardo walked over to Rosie. Summer didn't know what he said, but after listening to his words, Rosie reluctantly put down the brush and stood up.

As Summer watched Rosie eat, something suddenly flashed through her mind.

Her head jerked up. She looked at Leonardo and then turned to look at Rosie. However, she realized that it was not the right time to say what she had just thought of.

Feeling her gaze, Leonardo raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that he had already read her thoughts, yet he did not say anything else.

After Rosie finished her meal, she continued to draw. Only then did Summer say to Leonardo, "I suddenly thought of something. How did Vicky know what happened on the island back then?" Leonardo knew that she hadn't finished yet, so he didn't interrupt her and signaled her to continue.

"Every time Vicky saw me, she always said that she wanted to avenge Adams. Once, she questioned why it was Adams who died while we were still alive. She never mentioned anything about Rosie from the beginning to the end."

Summer looked up and noticed that Leonardo was still listening very attentively.

She continued, "After what had happened on the island, Kate blocked all the news. There was no media report in Hoover City. Adams' death was also depicted as accidental while traveling. If Adams had told Vicky about his plan before he went to the island, Vicky would have known that the purpose of our trip was to bring Rosie back. Naturally, she would have known that Rosie existed..."

"However, she never mentioned Rosie. I didn't think so much about it before. I thought Vicky knew about the matter."

After Summer finished speaking, she waited for Leonardo to respond.

After a moment of silence, Leonardo said, "Adams was with Vicky because he felt Vicky looked like Rachel. It was something emotional. He wouldn't tell Vicky about his plan."

"Are you saying that it was someone else who told Vicky about the cause of Adams' death?"

"Yes," Leonardo replied softly. He narrowed his eyes slightly as if he was pondering over something.

Summer remembered that last time when Vicky had broken the brakes of Stanley's car, she was captured by the police but released in the end.

"Whoever knows what happened on the island cannot be ordinary. I suspect the person who told Vicky about this is the person who protected her last time."

Last time, though they had all the evidence, Vicky was still able to be released on bail. The person who protected her must be wealthy and influential.

It was not surprising that a wealthy man would know the cause of Adams' death.

Back then, Kate had intentionally blocked all the news. Naturally, she wouldn't tell Vicky about the matter.

Kate was a very thoughtful woman, and would not do anything meaningless.

Summer raised her head and asked Leonardo, "If it wasn't Kate, who would it be?"

Leonardo smiled and said with a hint of interest, "Take a guess."

Summer actually had an answer, but she wasn't sure, "Well... where should I start..."

Leonardo saw through her with a single glance, "You must have thought of someone. Just say it. What if your guess is right?"

Summer pursed her lips and asked tentatively, "Is it possible that this person is an Emerson?"

Leonardo fixed his gaze on her with a faint smile on his face, as if encouraging her to continue.

Summer gritted her teeth and said word by word, "Your father, Michael."

Leonardo turned up the corners of his lips even more, and the smile spread wider over his face.

Summer's expression changed slightly, "You suspect him too?"

She was just using the elimination method. Naturally, only an Emerson would be able to spread the news that was originally blocked by the Emersons.

Kate did not have to do this. The remaining ones were Leonardo's cousins.

However, Leonardo and his cousins had never been close to each other. Those cousins had to rely on Leonardo to stay in the Emerson Group and maintain a glamorous life. Normally, they would not take the initiative to cause trouble for Leonardo.

Among the others, Michael was the most suspicious one.

After all, the thing between Adams and Michael was complicated.

"It's time to go back and pay him a visit."

Leonardo's words indicated that he thought the same as Summer.

Michael told Vicky about the cause of Adams' death. Otherwise, Vicky wouldn't hate Summer and Leonardo so much. She caused trouble for Summer everywhere, and even tried to test if Summer was still with Leonardo...

Because of Leonardo's mother, Michael probably knew very well that Leonardo would not look for him again. He had no chance to attack Leonardo, so he could only order Vicky to cause trouble for them. Vicky hated them so much. Although she only had the guts to cause trouble for Summer now, she might aim at Leonardo one day.

Moreover, as the saying goes, "Even a lean camel is bigger than a horse". Even though Michael was no more than a cripple now, he would definitely think of a way to help Vicky as long as she wanted revenge.0000000
