Predestined Bride

Summer looked up at Douglas in surprise, “You bought it?”

“Nice try. Cousin bought it for you.” Leonardo glanced at her and began to eat.

Summer didn’t say anything. He made it sound like she really wanted something from him.

Since Leonardo had bought it, she would accept it.

Summer noticed that there was an SIM card next to her phone. It was the number she had used.

She put it in and called Jessica.This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

After only one beep, the call was answered.

Jessica sounded extremely worried, “Summer, are you alright? Are you alright?”

“I’m fine. Are you back with the cast now?” Jessica had mentioned about going back today.

“With what have happened to you? No way! I’m going out now. Let’s meet.” The rustling sound of packing could be heard from Jessica’s side.

Summer also wanted to talk to Jessica about last night, so she quickly agreed, “Okay. I’m eating. I’ll go out in a minute…”

“No need. I’m coming for you,” Jessica interrupted her and hung up the phone.

Summer put down her phone and looked up. The man was eating slowly.

He always acted arrogantly and naughtily around her, but in fact, he was calm and cautious.

“What happened last night…” Summer paused for a moment before saying, “Thank you.”

“For what?” Leonardo looked up at her, his pitch-black eyes flickering with an imperceptible smile, “Thank me for pushing you away at the critical moment?”

Summer understood what he was saying, and blushed, “Can you speak properly?”

As for the last bit of gratitude she had had for him, it disappeared without a trace.

Leonardo finished his porridge. As he took the towel to wipe his hands, he said, “You thanked me too casually. You don’t have any sincerity.”

Summer thought for a while and felt that he was right. “What about I treat you to dinner?”

“Dinner? Okay. Let’s go to the club I brought you to last time,” Leonardo sounded serious.

That club…

Summer pursed her lips. If she remembered correctly, it was a top tier club in Hoover City. She had just graduated, not to mention having no job now, and even if she had a job, it would cost her at least half a year’s salary to eat a meal there according to the standard of young and rich “Douglas”.

She suspected that Douglas did it on purpose.

Summer said straightforwardly, “That won’t do. I can’t afford it.”

“Douglas” looked at her in surprise, “Didn’t Cousin give you his secondary card?”

“Why would he give me that?” Summer felt that “Douglas” was weird in every way.

In the next moment, “Douglas” took out a black card from behind him and threw it in front of her. “Cousin gave it to me. You can take it.”

Summer did not take the black card. Instead, she said with an envious expression, “Leonardo treats you so well.”

Leonardo had never appeared in front of outsiders. Rumors had it that he was cruel and obstinate, but he let “Douglas” live in his villa and even gave his secondary card to him.

On the other hand, Summer and Vicky were like enemies.

Hearing that, Leonardo looked at her seriously and said, “If you are willing to try, he might treat you better than me.”

He deliberately emphasized the word “try”.

An arrogant and shameless man!

Summer ignored him and lowered her head to eat before taking that card.

It sounded right spending Leonardo’s money to treat “Douglas” to dinner.

She had wanted to thank “Douglas” sincerely, but he had chosen such an expensive place on purpose, so don’t blame her.

…

When Jessica came, Summer was still fighting the door.

It was so strange that the door would not open.

Behind her, a bodyguard came up and told her, “Miss, Miss Hicks is here.”

Summer could only go downstairs to see Jessica first.

As soon as she went down, Jessica rushed over and said, “It’s good that you’re fine!”

Summer smiled at her and asked her, “I’m okay. What about you?”

The video posted by the blogger last night went viral. Jessica’s agent also saw it and even sent it to Jessica to watch.

Jessica attended a business banquet last night. Her manager was afraid that there would be trouble afterwards, so she asked her to find a few people to take a group photo and post it on Weibo, in case someone would slander her.

When she posted the photo on Weibo, she discovered that she had many missed calls. Later, when she answered Carl’s call, she found out that Summer thought she was at the Violet Gold Club and went to look for her.

What Jessica had said made Summer understand that someone might have set her up to lure her over.

The only person she had offended recently was Vicky.

The matter between her and Vicky had been popular on the Internet recently, so Vicky definitely knew that she would surf the Internet at any time.

Moreover, Vicky also knew that Jessica was her good friend.

Vicky had really put in some effort to take revenge on her.

Seeing that she was lost in thought, Jessica asked her, “What’s wrong?”

Summer looked at her and said, “It must be Vicky. I knew that she was always messing around, and that she was a member of some club. But I was never interested in her, so I didn’t know it was the Violet Gold Club.”

If she had known that Violet Gold Club was Vicky’s usual spot, she would not have been tricked.

Although Jessica was always on the run, she was clear about many things. She would not go to that kind of place to attend a banquet.

Jessica frowned. Just as she was about to say something, she heard the familiar ringtone of her phone.

She lowered her head and took out her phone, only to discover that it wasn’t from her phone.

Summer took out her phone and waved it, “It’s mine.”

“You’re finally willing to change your phone?” Jessica widened her eyes. She had persuaded Summer to change her phone, but Summer had always said that she was afraid Karen would be upset.

Summer’s eyes shone brightly. Obviously, she was a little happy. She leaned closer to Jessica’s ear and whispered, “Leonardo gave it to me.”

She felt that this might be a sign that Leonardo was gradually opening his heart to her, so she was thrilled.

Back then, she had agreed to marry Leonardo. Naturally, she still hoped to get along with him.

Jessica obviously had something else to ask. But Summer pointed to her phone and said, “Let me answer this first.”

However, when she saw the familiar phone number, her expression was not pretty.

Karen’s voice was gentle, “Summer, I’ve booked a tea restaurant. Let’s have lunch together.”

A kind offer out of the blue? Something was up!

Summer chuckled and asked, “Just us mother and daughter?”

Karen hesitated for a moment before answering, “Uh … yes, let’s have our meal in peace.”

Summer didn’t believe a single word she had said!
