Predestined Bride

Summer called Jessica.

“Did you buy the trending topic?”

“Didn’t you refuse it? Have you changed your mind?” Jessica said excitedly.

Summer explained, “No. I saw that Vicky’s topic was trending again.”

“Is it real?” Jessica made some noises. Summer guessed that she was browsing the posts on Weibo.

As expectedly, Jessica said, “I saw it. She deserved it!”

Summer felt it strange.

Who did it? Could it be someone else who was offended by Vicky?

It wasn’t impossible. Vicky always looked down on others. She had a bad temper and had offended quite a few people.

Summer didn’t dwell too much on this matter. She guessed that Leonardo should have finished his meal, so she went to look for him.

No matter what, she should have a talk with Leonardo about it.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

…

The door of the study was closed. Summer knocked on the door.

Leonardo said in a hoarse voice, “Come in.”

Summer pushed the door open and walked in. She saw him sitting behind the desk with his back facing her at a glance.

She was puzzled. Leonardo didn’t want her to see his face. Why did he go out?

In her opinion, Leonardo was a hermit. He didn’t go out, didn’t pay attention to others and didn’t like talking to people.

Leonardo asked, “What do you want?”

Summer looked at him curiously, “Do you know what happened online?”

Leonardo paused and said coldly, “There’s no need to mention the past. As my wife, you’d better behave.”

Summer felt that his tone was very “Douglas”. Perhaps it was because they were cousins.

Summer heaved a sigh of relief when she went out.

Leonardo was strange. Fortunately, he wasn’t as psychopathic as those who had been traumatized. Otherwise, she would be in trouble.

She didn’t know why she wanted to go downstairs to the restaurant.

“Douglas” wasn’t in the restaurant. The servants cleaned up the dining table.

…

The next morning, Summer changed into formal clothes and went out for the interviews.

She wasted a lot of time because of Vicky.

She graduated from a prestigious university. She got great grades and had a perfect resume that smoothed her way to interview for jobs.

She was excited. Because of Karen, she didn’t engage in a job that was related to her major after she graduated. Now she didn’t have to worry about that. She must think carefully about her job.

She found a restaurant for lunch and studied the company profile for the interview in the afternoon.

Not long after Summer sat down, a woman who wore a mask and a cap walked up to Summer. She picked up the glass in front of Summer and poured it down from Summer’s head.

The women called Summer’s name, “Summer!”

Summer closed her eyes, wiped the water off her face and looked at the woman.

The woman was Vicky!

It wasn’t strange. With her current “reputation”, it would be easy for others to recognize her if she didn’t disguise herself.

“What do you want? Go ahead.” Summer looked up at her. She was calm.

Vicky was angry. She lowered her voice and said fiercely, “Summer! You were the one who released the video, weren’t you? I won’t let you off!”

Summer was surprised. She didn’t expect Vicky knew that.

She wouldn’t admit it.

Summer said in surprise, “What do you mean?”

“You must have pretended to be stupid in the Jarrett’s! You’re smart!” Vicky was furious.

Summer laughed, “You understand me better than my parents.”

Even now, Lynn and Karen probably took her as a fool.

They abandoned Summer when she was young. They would take her as a fool. It was better than admitting that their abandoned smart daughter had tricked them.

“You’re a bitch!” Vicky was about to slap Summer.

When Summer was about to dodge, she saw a familiar figure walking towards her.

She didn’t dodge. Vicky slapped her.

When Jerome saw Summer had been slapped, he walked forward and grabbed Vicky’s wrist.

When he saw that Vicky was the one who slapped Summer, he frowned, “Vicky?”

“Jerome! Finally, there you are!” Vicky said softly, “She released the videos and photos on the Internet! She was jealous that I was with you. She framed me!”

Summer covered her face, looked down and pretended to be fragile.

She admired Vicky. Vicky thought that all women might be jealous of her.

Summer bit her lips tightly. Her face was pale. She said firmly, “I didn’t.”

She wasn’t jealous of Vicky.

Vicky shrieked, “You’re lying!”

Jerome shouted at Vicky impatiently, “Shut up!”

They shouted and attracted the attention of the other guests.

Jerome felt awkward and said coldly to Vicky, “Go to the room and have a talk.”

Then he looked up at Summer and said softly, “Summer, follow me.”

Summer wanted to see Vicky being despised by Jerome, so she followed them.

When they walked into the room, Vicky pointed at Summer and said, “Jerome, believe me. She did that. I’m innocent. The videos and the photos are fake!”

Vicky lied.

It was as if this was the first time Jerome had met Vicky. He looked at her carefully and said disappointedly, “You’re still lying!”

Vicky was stupid. She pulled Summer in front of Jerome and said in a shrill voice, “Tell Jerome that you framed me. You set me up.”

She felt Summer pretended to be stupid. She slapped Summer hard, thinking that Summer was as easy to be bullied as before and would help her do anything like before.

Summer glanced at Jerome and looked away. She stood straight. Her voice was soft and firm, “I can’t admit what I didn’t do.”

Jerome had a good impression of Summer. Noticing that Vicky was forcing Summer, he pulled Summer behind him and said, “Vicky, deal with your own business. Don’t follow me.”

Vicky had contacted him for the past two days. He didn’t want to see her, but he didn’t expect Vicky to follow him.
