Predestined Marriage
Chapter 561 Can You Stand Up?

Vicky couldn't bear that. She grew up believing that Karen and Summer were just her servants whom she could boss around as she wanted. Even now, she still thought so.

In Vicky's view, Summer should grovel to her and wait on her without complaint.

However, Summer, who was supposed to serve her without a murmur, actually killed Adams!

Just when Vicky could finally be with Adams, he was killed by Summer and Leonardo!

Vicky bit her lips, stood up and walked to Summer. Then she raised her hand and slapped Summer hard across the face, "Summer, these two days are my happiest days in the past three years. Do you know why?"

She slapped Summer with much force, so Summer's face went numb. Summer took a deep breath and dropped her jaw. After a while, feelings came back to her face.

She stared at Vicky's ferocious face and sneered, "Why are you so happy? Anyway, Adams will never come back to life."

She said that just to irritate Vicky. Sure enough, Vicky was easily enraged by those remarks. She reached out and grabbed Summer's clothes, "Summer, don't think that you can rest in peace though you live a comfortable life now. And don't pretend to be calm, because you will lose your coolness very soon."

Summer raised her eyebrows and said with a disapprovingly look, "Oh?"

It wasn't that she didn't care about what Vicky said. In fact, she was eager to know what Vicky wanted to do. Thus, she tried to rile Vicky up, and then Vicky would be really mad and let slip her secret. However, Vicky was exceptionally tolerant this time. Summer had been angering her since yesterday, but Vicky said nothing.

Summer felt confused and a little uneasy. She suspected that Vicky might really have an ace up her sleeve.

Vicky sneered and walked back to the dining table. She casually threw a piece of bread in front of Summer and said with lofty distain, "You must be hungry, right? Take it."

Summer was indeed a little hungry, but she wouldn't eat food dropped on the ground.

"You still have your pride? Good!" Vicky's face clouded over.

What she hated the most was Summer's calm face, as if Summer was invulnerable. Vicky hated to see that.

But then she thought it didn't matter, for she could completely crush Summer and cause her to freak out soon.

Summer sat on the ground silently. Vicky stopped talking to her and began to have her meal.

While sitting on the ground miserably, Summer was secretly watching Vicky.

Vicky looked thinner than when Summer last saw her, and she ate very little now. She just had a small piece of bread and half a cup of milk.

Though she wore heavy makeup, it was easy to tell that she was off color.

Last time when Summer saw Vicky, she had found that Vicky seemed to have mental problems. Vicky was extremely irritable and was taking medicine. Summer looked at Vicky quietly until Vicky finished her meal and left.

Vicky left with her men and only had two bodyguards watch over Summer.

The two bodyguards didn't take Summer seriously. They stood close and chatted happily, not worrying that Summer would run away.

Summer felt that Vicky was up to something. Vicky was mean and vengeful, so she would definitely beat Summer up these days. However, she didn't do that. Instead, she restrained herself from torturing Summer.

While the two bodyguards were chatting, Summer moved aside to lean against the chair nearby, because she was a little tired from pretending to have no strength at all. She didn't expect that it wasn't easy to pretend to be weak.

After a long time, a loud noise came from outside.

"You can't go in."

"Who are you?"

"You can't go in!"

Amidst the screams and noises, a recognizable male voice sounded.

"Get out of the way!"

The man's voice was low and deep, which sounded angry and frightening.

The voice...

Summer looked towards the entrance of the dining room, but then she realized that she couldn't see what happened outside from here.

The two bodyguards also heard the noises outside. One of them said, "I'll watch her. You go out and see what's going on!"

"Why should I go out to have a look? Can't you do that?"

"Why are you so petty...?"

"Cut the crap! Just go and see...."

"Damn it!"

One of the bodyguards cursed and walked out.

However, he had almost reached the door of the dining room when he retreated.

As he moved back, Summer then found that someone was pointing a gun at the bodyguard's forehead and asking him to retreat.

Behind the person holding the gun stood a familiar man.

Summer looked at the man and muttered, "Leonardo."

There were chairs and tables in front of her, so they couldn't see her as soon as they came in.

Though her voice was low, Leonardo seemed to have heard her and walked straight to her.

He had brought a lot of people here. Tim and a group of bodyguards were following Leonardo, all of whom looked cold and strong.

Seeing that his fellow was being held at gunpoint, the other bodyguard bluffed and said, "Who are you? You are trespassing on private property. And you even hold ... a gun...." Leonardo glanced at him and smiled, fiercely kicking him away.

Then he walked to Summer.

He stared at her for a moment and reached out his hand. But he paused halfway and withdrew his hand.

He said in a slightly low and hoarse voice, "Can you stand up?"

Summer put her hand on the chair to support herself and stood up.

Before she could steady herself, Leonardo pulled her into his arms.

It had been about a day since she was caught by Vicky yesterday, and she hadn't washed up or changed her clothes during this period. Now she was in a terrible state.

She lied quietly in Leonardo's arms. After a while, she pushed him and said in a relaxed tone, "Let go of me. I haven't washed my face since yesterday."

Leonardo did not let go of her. He held her for a moment and said, "It's okay. You used to be ugly, but I still love you."

Summer pursed her lips and punched him angrily, "You're ugly!"☐☐☐
