Predestined Marriage
Chapter 575 Being Shot by a Bates

Connel said that to Summer. His voice was very low, so only he and Summer could hear it. When they were whispering, they were very close and seemed intimate. Leonardo's face went an ugly green as he stared at them.

Summer heard what Connel said and moved her lips, but she didn't know what to say. No matter what she said, it seemed inappropriate. She couldn't abandon her plan.

As for Leonardo...

Leonardo suddenly chuckled, which was the sort of self-deprecating.

Then his cold voice said, "Let them go!"

Tim was hesitant. He wanted to speak, but in the end, he sighed and didn't say anything.

"Let them go." Tim waved his hand to ask the bodyguards to let them go.

The bodyguards immediately moved aside to make way for Connel and Summer.

It was very cold on the winter night. A wind sprang up. Summer got chills. Her hands and feet instantly turned cold.

Holding Summer, Connel walked out of the villa and did not look back.

They quickly walked out of the villa.

At the same time, a car drove over and stopped in front of them.

The car door opened. Jenny, who was wearing a black woolen overcoat, got out of the car. She wore leather boots and her hair was tied in a ponytail, which gave a very powerful vibe. She looked totally different from how Summer remembered her.

She looked at Connel with a faint smile and said respectfully, "Sir."

Connel did not say anything but pushed Summer to her.

"Ms. Summer, hello again." After Jenny finished speaking, she held her arm and pushed her into the car. Then, she stepped in.

As soon as Jenny closed the door, the driver drove forward.

Summer turned to look out of the window in surprise. "Where's Connel?"

Jenny patiently explained, "He has to do something. He is very busy."

Hearing that, Summer couldn't help but look at her again.

The street lights outside the window would occasionally lighten the darkness of the car, so Summer could see her face dimly.

Jenny was completely different from the maid Summer saw before. She didn't look weak anymore. She was quite assertive and confident. Noticing Summer's gaze, Jenny smiled, "Why are you looking at me? I just changed my clothes."

However, Summer could not laugh. "Connel asked you to come over?"

"Of course." At the mention of Connel, even Jenny's tone became a little excited. "He is very smart. He knew you would risk your life for Rosie."

"I didn't expect him to know me so well." Although Summer sounded calm, her hands were tightly clenched.

In the courtyard of the villa.

After Connel and Summer left the villa, Leonardo, who had been standing motionless, suddenly said, "Stop them!"

The bodyguards looked at each other, but they didn't understand why Leonardo suddenly went back on his words, so they did not move.

Tim knew Leonardo well, so he said, "Stop Connel and Mrs. Emerson. Didn't you hear him?"

Tim had just wanted to tell Leonardo not to let Mrs. Emerson and Connel go like this. However, noticing Leonardo's strong determination, he didn't dare to persuade him.

Just as the bodyguards were leaving, a car sped away from the villa's entrance. There was another car left at the entrance, and Connel was sitting in the car.

The bodyguards opened the car door and looked carefully. They confirmed there was only Connel inside. Just as they were about to chase after the car that had just left, Leonardo came out.

A bodyguard immediately stepped forward and said, "Mr. Emerson, Mrs. Emerson is not in this car. She should have left in that car."

"Mr. Emerson, you have a reputation for being decisive in the commercial circle, but that's not exactly the case."

As he spoke, Connel got out of the car. He looked at Leonardo and smiled. Then he said slowly, "You came to catch me right after releasing me. I wonder if you are also so indecisive in business." Connel was very smart. He knew Leonardo came for Summer, so he deliberately didn't mention Summer.

"Your brother Stanley is a psychiatrist. I have a question. Can a psychiatrist heal himself?" said Leonardo, his face darkening. His voice was so cold that it made people tremble.

His words touched Connel's pain points, and Connel suddenly went into a sulk.

Then, Connel sneered and looked at Leonardo. "The gunshot wound three years ago should have healed. I wonder if you still feel pain when thinking of the scene that your mother was kidnapped and committed suicide in front of you. If necessary, I can refer you to a few psychiatrists, just for Summer's sake."

All his words seemed to be directed at Leonardo.

After Connel finished speaking, he returned to the car.

Just as Tim asked the bodyguard to stop Connel, Leonardo raised his hand and stopped him.

Tim said seriously, "Mr. Emerson, other than us, only Mrs. Emerson knows about your gunshot wound three years ago. Mrs. Emerson won't tell him about this. He knows it because he may be involved in the attack! How can we let him go?"

Three years ago, when Leonardo and Summer just got married, Leonardo happened to be investigating the case of his mother's kidnap case. However, he encountered some people who were also investigating it. So, a row broke out, and Leonardo was shot.

Leonardo raised his eyes slightly. But his cold face was hard to read. "I was only suspicious before, but now I can confirm that the man who shot me is a Bates. After all, the Bates are also investigating the case of my mother's kidnapping."

Leonardo paused for a moment before continuing, "Apart from the Emersons, no one knows that my mother committed suicide."

"Mr. Emerson, do you mean... they are also involved in the kidnapping case?" Tim asked in disbelief.

This was an old case. When Tim began to work for Leonardo, Leonardo was investigating it. Later, they found it was related to the Emersons, so Tim thought that it was over.

He never thought that other people would know the details.

"Then Mrs. Emerson..." Tim couldn't help but worry about Summer.

He knew that because of Stanley, Summer had let her guard down with Connel.

"Let her go! She thinks herself is clever." Although he said so, Leonardo looked very pale and strained.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
