Predestined Marriage
Chapter 663 The Emerson Group's Investment

For a while, no one came to give Summer trouble before the stitches on her neck were removed.

Stanley called her a few times though.

But he just called, and he had never come for her. Summer did not go out much, so she naturally didn't hear any news about Logan.

When Summer went to the hospital to remove the stitches, Bruce accompanied her.

Putting aside Bruce's past, he was a very professional and capable bodyguard. Summer felt that Bruce was wasted as her bodyguard.

But Bruce did not seem to feel that way, nor did he slight Summer because the price she didn't pay him that much. A man like him would be good at anything. After the stitches were removed, Summer rested for a few more days. As New Year's Eve was approaching, Eliza called Summer again for the film script. Summer had finished the first draft of "Lost City 2". As for those parts thath might not be acceptable, she had marked them out and made a revision plan. Summer took the manuscript and went to Eliza's studio. The girl at the front desk greeted her warmly as usual.

"Where's your boss? Is she in the office?" Summer had made an appointment with Eliza in advance. She was just asking.

Unexpectedly, the girl said embarrassedly at her words. "Our boss is meeting a guest."

It was normal for Eliza to have a guest. Summer did not think much about it. "Then I'll wait for her."

Summer took a magazine and sat on the sofa waiting for Eliza.

After a while, the door to Eliza's office opened. When Summer heard the noise, she looked up and saw someone coming out of Eliza's office.

It was Amber!

Hoover City was such a small place. Summer unconsciously tightened her fingers which were holding the title page of the magazine.

When Amber saw Summer, a trace of astonishment flashed across her face, as if she did not know Summer. Then, she turned to look at Eliza behind her and said, "Ms. Austin, do you have other guests?" Amber pretended not to know Summer. How could Eliza not know the relationship among Amber, Leonardo and Summer? If there must be a winner and a loser, the biggest winner among them was Amber. Amber had lost face before, but now that she finally won Leonardo back, she naturally held her head high.

Eliza knew what Amber was thinking about, but she couldn't offend Amber right now.

She tipped Summer a wink and immediately said with a smile, "Miss Amber, let me introduce her to you. This is Summer. She is the screenwriter of 'Lost City'."

"Summer, hurry up and come over. Miss Amber's boyfriend will invest in 'Lost City 2'." Eliza's smile was a little stiff.

Hearing that, Summer suddenly stood up and looked at Eliza, who sighed and turned away from her gaze.

Summer knew that it was not the right time to ask Eliza. Since Amber was here, she had to wait until she left. Summer pursed her lips and walked towards Amber. "Hello, I'm Summer," she said in a business tone.

She didn't intend to shake hands with Amber. She knew that even if she stretched out her hand, Amber would definitely not shake hands with her.

Amber seemed to read her mind, and put on a cold look.

Without even looking at Summer, she turned to Eliza and said, "Ms. Austin, since Leonardo has chosen your group, I believe you must deserve our trust."

"Thank you, Miss Amber." Eliza became more sophisticated and tactful these years. Although Amber's words made her uncomfortable, Eliza still had a smile on her face.

"But...." Amber added, "No matter how smart a person is, one will make mistakes sometimes. If you want to replace a partner, you need to keep your eyes open so that you don't replace someone who isn't good..." These words were clearly aimed at Summer. Even a fool could tell the obvious malice in her words.

Summer did not say anything, and Eliza was somewhat awkward.

Eliza did not like Amber either. Eliza was born in a relatively rich family, and she hated Amber's arrogant tone.

Eliza was tired of forcing a smile. She took half a step back and said coldly, "Miss Amber, if you have nothing else to do, I'll have someone see you out. I have some other work to do. I'll treat you to coffee next time."

Hearing that, Amber's face darkened. Eliza treated her with respect just now, but what did she mean by that?

Eliza sneered. Amber didn't know that Eliza had a good relationship with Summer.

Everyone knew how to pretend, and Amber smiled and said, "Then I'll go first, Ms. Austin. See you."

As soon as Amber left, Eliza led Summer into the office.

Summer sat on the sofa without saying a word. Eliza locked the door and walked hurriedly to Summer. She said nervously, "Summer, I can explain to you."

"Just two days ago, one of Leonardo's subordinates came. His name is ...."

Summer said coldly, "Tim, Leonardo's special assistant."

"That's right. It's Tim. He came for the investment in 'Lost City 2'. I refused him because of your relationship with Leonardo. But he threatened me. He said if I didn't accept the Emerson Group's investment, I wouldn't be able to get any other investment."

"Then... as you can see, Amber came over today. She probably knew that you were coming today...."

Eliza wanted to consult Summer, but since she was busy these days and Summer did not come to the office, it was delayed.

After Eliza finished her words, she cast a guilty glance at Summer and waited for her to say something. Summer was silent for a while, and asked, "Have you signed the contract?"

Eliza hurriedly said, "Not yet."

"Since Leonardo insists on investing in the film, you just accept it. How many crews want the Emerson Group's investment? Now that he has offered to sponsor us, why not accept it?" Summer said seriously, running her fingers through her hair.

"But you...." Eliza had thought that Summer would strongly oppose it. She didn't expect that Summer would support her.

"Business cooperation is for benefits. It has nothing to do with personal feelings." Summer said without showing any emotion.

Eliza was willing to cooperate with the Emerson Group. Hearing Summer's words, she nodded.

"There's one more thing. I think Amber will definitely give you trouble again."

Summer said indifferently, "Whatever she wants."¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
