Predestined Marriage
Chapter 819 I'm Afraid, but Leonardo Isn't

"Wait a moment!"

When Septimus saw that Summer really wanted to leave, he was anxious.

He suddenly stood up and stopped Summer, "I know that you have long been disowned by the Jarretts. Although you have given birth to a daughter for Leonardo, he will not help you a lot. Whether you want a meteoric rise or something else, I think I can help you!"

Septimus called her over and beat around the bush for a long time. Now, he finally spoke frankly and said out his purpose.

At the beginning, he didn't state his purpose clearly. He just wanted to pull rank on Summer, thinking that he could use his identity to pressure Summer and made her take the first step.

However, he was wrong. Summer was not a utilitarian, and she was even calmer than him.

In the end, he led up to the subject and lost the control of the conversation.

"Mr. Thompson, do you think I will agree to your terms?" Summer turned around to look at Septimus with a faint expression.

Septimus' face darkened because Summer had no sense to appreciate his "favors".

"I hope that you'll be sensible and agree to my terms." Septimus was clearly full of confidence.

"What if I don't agree?" Summer smiled.

"You're a mother. Please show understanding for a parent's feeling." Septimus lowered his head slightly, as if he was humbly pleading with Summer.

However, his tone sounded arrogant. He was trying to force Summer to agree him.

"I am a mother, so I should learn a lesson from you. I will definitely nurture my daughter well and I won't let her end up like Amber!"

At this point, Summer felt that she and Septimus had nothing to talk about.

Just as she was about to leave, she heard Septimus threatening her. "Ms. Summer, the media has been very interested in you. Your daughter has never been exposed. I'm sure the media would be surprised if they found out that you and Leonardo have a daughter."

Septimus meant that if Summer did not agree to his terms, he would expose Rosie.

Summer was shocked, and then she said mockingly, "Mr. Thompson, I'm really scared to hear that."

Septimus narrowed his eyes slightly, and he seemed to soften.

Summer continued, "I'm afraid, but Leonardo isn't. You're a father, so is Leonardo. If you really want to do this, then go ahead and do it. The premise is that you're willing to risk your reputation for the rest of your life."

"You..." Septimus pointed at Summer and was lost for words.

He thought that Summer was just a helpless woman, and he could threaten her easily. However, now he was threatened by Summer.

"Goodbye." Summer didn't want to talk to Septimus anymore, so she pushed open the door and went out.

She passed through the lobby of the teahouse. When she got out of the teahouse, a black car stopped at the entrance of it.

The car braked suddenly. Before it was stationary, the door to the driver's seat opened. Summer saw a tall and slender man get out of the car.

He slammed the car door and walked towards the teahouse. He looked in a hurry, as if there was anything particularly urgent. However, when he saw Summer standing at the door, he suddenly stopped. Summer looked at him and did not say anything. She had just mentioned Leonardo. And now Leonardo appeared in a hurry.

They looked at each other for a moment. Leonardo walked over to Summer. He frowned slightly and looked at Summer, "Why are you here?"

His tone was obviously impatient. It was as if he didn't want to see her at all.

"Is this a noble place that you can come here but I can't?" Summer looked up and stared at Leonardo.

"Take good care of Rosie." Leonardo said and then walked past her into the teahouse.

Summer paused for a while and turned to look into the teahouse.

The air conditioner was turned on inside, so the door had kept closed. She didn't see Leonardo's back but the closed door.

What was Leonardo doing in such a hurry?

After Leonardo entered the teahouse, he stood at the door for a moment. Afterwards, he walked to the window and watched Summer's car leave. He put on a serious face.

At this time, Septimus happened to come out of the private room.

Hearing the noise, Leonardo turned around and met Septimus' eyes. He looked coldly at Septimus and walked towards the latter.

A sinister look flashed through Leonardo's eyes, and he said in a sepulchral tone, "It is said that Mr. Thompson is an open and honest person, but now you threaten a woman to achieve your goal. Do you wish others to get hold of you? Or do you want to quit your position?"

Septimus was just refused by Summer, and now he was scolded by Leonardo, he was boiling with rage.

"My daughter ends up like this because of you!" In Septimus' opinion, Amber came to such a sorry state because of Leonardo.

Leonardo sneered, "She is your daughter, not mine. You should ask yourself why Amber became like this."

Septimus doesn't know what to say. The video of Amber holding a dagger in the restaurant was posted online. Now everyone knew that Amber wanted to kill Summer.

If the video hadn't been uploaded online, Septimus would have been able to settle this matter without looking for Summer. And he wouldn't have given Summer the chance to sue Amber.

"Summer is my woman, and Rosie is my daughter. Don't try to hurt them; Otherwise..." Leonardo paused and sneered. And then he turned to leave.

Septimus had never been threatened so relentlessly. He staggered and balanced himself. He was hopping mad, but he could do nothing. Septimus could do nothing about Leonardo, because Leonardo's identity was complicated.

If he tried to harm Leonardo, there must be a commotion. If there was a commotion, those who wanted him to step down would know that and they would definitely take the opportunity to do something unfavorable to him.

He didn't want Amber to go to jail, but he didn't dare to risk his career. Compared to his daughter, the career he had spent his entire life running was even more important.

The day Summer took Rosie on a trip abroad, Carl came to see them off at the airport.

To put it bluntly, Carl was mainly here to see Jessica off. Jessica went on the trip with Summer and Rosie together.

Carl watched them go through the security check before he turned around and left.

Just as he took a few steps away, he saw Leonardo.
