Predestined Marriage
Chapter 574 You Betray Him

Connel said he knew the news about Leonardo's mother. No matter whether it was true, it was an irresistible pull for Leonardo.

It was about something that Leonardo had to figure out.

After a while, Leonardo said, "Connel doesn't have any evidence that she is still alive."

"Connel won't say that for no reason." Although Summer didn't know Connel well enough, she felt Connel would not take action if he was not sure.

Just as she finished speaking, Leonardo immediately said, "You have to stop here. Don't worry about it anymore."

"What do you plan to do? How can you replace Rosie? Connel doesn't care what you do to him! What's worse, it has been more than a week!" Summer was too worried about Rosie.

Leonardo didn't say anything, his face darkening. He turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

He walked to the room where Connel was. Leonardo went to Connel's room and came out after a while.

Summer sat in the hall, waiting for him.

Noticing Leonardo coming out, Summer asked, "Did you get anything out of him?"

Leonardo didn't say anything and went upstairs.

Only when his shadowy form disappeared did Summer take a deep breath, pursed her lips, and lapsed into thoughtful silence.

She stayed in the hall for a long time, and Leonardo did not come down to see her.

In days gone by, Leonardo would have come down.

Leonardo was thinking about his mother, while Summer was thinking about Rosie. Each had his load on mind. They didn't have time to think about anything else. Summer sat in the hall until midnight before getting up and leaving as if she had made up her mind.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open from the outside.

Connel was a light sleeper, so he was awakened by the sound of the door opening.

Before he could get up, the lights in the room were turned on.

Connel stretched out to cover his eyes. When he removed his arm, he saw Summer walking towards the bedside.

There was a startled look on his face. He hadn't expected Summer to come in at this time.

Connel propped himself up, leaned against the bed, and silently stared at Summer, waiting for her to speak.

Summer walked to the bed and looked down at him. "Do you remember what you said before? Does it count?" Connel was stunned, but soon he gave a faint smile. "Of course."

Summer said, "I have another question."

Connel looked at her and beckoned to her to continue.

"How is Rosie?" Summer asked carefully.

"You think I'm that despicable to abuse a child?" Connel smiled faintly as if he was complaining.

Hearing that, Summer relaxed a little.

She believed those words. She believed that Connel would not hurt Rosie.

Even if he didn't hurt Rosie, Rosie was too young to bear all this. She must be very scared when the strangers took her somewhere she had never been before.

Summer couldn't devote much more thought to this matter. Otherwise, she would be drowned in her remorse.

Summer took out a dagger from her pocket and handed it to Connel. "You can hold me captive. Leonardo won't do anything to you."

Connel glanced at her with mixed feelings. He was hard to read.

He got up, put on his coat, held the dagger at Summer, and then walked out.

When the bodyguards in the courtyard saw Connel seizing Summer, they had someone notify Leonardo.

Tim was the first to hear it.

Noticing Connel holding Summer hostage, he gave a little start, and then he was puzzled.

And then Leonardo came downstairs. He was wearing the same clothes, his hair tidy.

Summer knew Leonardo didn't sleep either.

After he came down, he walked straight to Summer and Connel. The bodyguards backed away respectfully.

The dim light made Leonardo look more solemn.

Summer glanced at him and knew Leonardo had figured it out. She quickly lowered her eyes to prevent him from sensing her emotions. Leonardo had figured out it was her idea.

Connel pulled the dagger closer to Summer's neck and said in a steady voice, "Leonardo, if you want her to live, let me go."

Almost immediately, Summer got an overwhelming vibe from Leonardo.

He seemed to be enraged by Connel's words.

Leonardo looked at Connel with a sarcastic tone, "Is that really the best you can do?"

Connel wasn't angry. Instead, he seriously argued, "Indeed, I am not capable, but I know what I can use to threaten you."

Leonardo's face grew paler. Then he clenched his hands involuntarily and looked at Summer.

Ever since he came down, Summer had not dared to look at him, so he knew what was going on.

"Summer," Leonardo called out her name.

Summer bit her lips and looked up at Leonardo.

She looked deep into Leonardo's eyes.

After Leonardo and Summer exchanged glances for a few seconds, Leonardo could only feel cold and indifferent.

"Aren't you afraid? Ever since I came here, you haven't asked me for help," Leonardo asked indifferently. Summer's heart lurched. She felt Leonardo's words had double meanings.

He had already seen through Summer. He was telling Summer that he was very angry with her, but he was willing to give her a chance.

Although she was held by Connel, Leonardo could easily save her.

Connel glanced at Leonardo, then turned to look at Summer and whispered in her ear, "Leonardo seems to have seen you through. He looks very disappointed. He thinks you betray him. What do you think?" Summer's heart skipped a beat. Connel set her straight.

Leonardo felt she betrayed him!

She suddenly looked up at Leonardo. Leonardo stood motionlessly. He was tall and straight but looked lonely.

Summer's resolution began to stagger.

However, when she thought of Rosie, she became resolute again.

Connel's purpose was unknown, and he was fearless. Inducements and threats were useless for him.

The fastest way to see Rosie was to obey Connel.☐☐☐☐☐☐
