Predestined Marriage

Chapter 238: Step on Him

Michael was so angry that his chest heaved violently. He stared at Leonardo for long before saying,

"Fine!"

Watching aside, Summer was somewhat terrified.

Fortunately, Michael was in good health. Otherwise, he would get sick by Leonardo sooner or later.

"Humph!"

Leonardo sneered, "You know how the Emerson Group is. Those share-holders control more than half

of the Group's equity and they have made many false accounts, do you know that?"

Leonardo wouldn't have worked overtime frequently then if the Emerson Group weren’t in such a NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

terrible condition.

Michael knew that what Leonardo said was the truth and had nothing to refute.

He let out a long sigh of relief and asked, "Stop talking about this. Let's talk about Adams."

Leonardo raised his eyebrows and slightly narrowed his eyes as he waited for what Michael would say.

"You started up a television company. And Adams had been a contracted actor under your company for

the past few years, right? But you canceled the contract with him, didn't you?"

People said it was the Adams who proposed to cancel the contract. But Michael was not that easy to

fool like them.

Michael questioned Leonardo in a strange tone.

Leonardo replied expressionlessly, "Are you here to stand up for him?"

Michael seemed to have noticed that he said in a wrong tone. Then he softened his tone, "Your aunt

and I are siblings, and you have been in a good relationship with Adams since childhood. You know

that many people envy your status in the Emerson Family. It will be good for you if you establish a good

relationship with him. You can look out for each other..."

"You yourself can do that if you like." Leonardo felt that it was boring. So, he stood up and said, "I won't

meddle in your affair, and you don't meddle in mine."

Then he turned around and extended his hand to Summer, "Summer, let's go home."

Facing Summer, Leonardo was not as cold as when he said to Michael. His handsome eyes were full

of gentleness, and Leonardo was warm and touching.

Summer put her hand into his, "Okay."

They walked out together.

Inside the open door, it sounded that something was smashed.

Summer looked at Leonardo worriedly.

Leonardo comforted her with a smile. But then he smiled with mockery, "Let him smash his own

things."

Summer was slightly worried. Leonardo and Michael were incompatible for a long time. But they

couldn't live like this for the rest of their lives.

She could tell that Michael was intentionally trying to ease the tensions between them.

No matter how excessive Michael was, he would not kidnap his wife to cope with her.

Summer felt that there were misunderstandings between Leonardo and Michael.

However, such misunderstandings were not caused in a short time. So, she had to take it slowly to help

them solve them.

...

When Summer and Leonardo went downstairs, they saw Douglas jump up from the sofa and look at

them with eagerness, "Hi, Summer. Hi, Leonardo. Are you going back?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Summer could tell that Douglas had something to say.

Douglas scratched his head and said awkwardly, "I haven't been to your home for a long time. Can I

stay with you for a few days?"

"No."

"OK."

Their answers sounded at the same time.

Leonardo said "no", and Summer said "OK".

Summer glared at Leonardo and said in an accentuated tone, "No?"

Leonardo wanted to nod.

However, his intuition told him that if he nodded, he might be kicked out of the bedroom by Summer

that night.

Leonardo glanced at Douglas and replied indifferently, "Well."

Summer could feel the strong reluctance in Leonardo's "Well".

But she pretended not to feel it and said to Douglas with a smile, "Did you tell your mother about that?"

Although Adams had broken down with Leonardo, Douglas had done nothing with that and he was only

a child.

She couldn't be indifferent to a child because of adults’ affairs.

Douglas nodded frantically, "Yes."

...

Douglas used to live at Leonardo's home. His clothes were also there. So, he didn't even need to pack

his things and could go over and live there again.

When he got in the car, Douglas seemed to be afraid that Leonardo would go back on his word.

Immediately, he rushed into the car and waved to Summer, "Summer, get on quickly."

Leonardo cast a cold glance over and Douglas quickly shut up.

Summer was about to board the car when Leonardo pulled her back.

After he got on the car, Leonardo reached out to Summer and signaled her to get on.

Summer rolled her eyes towards him. Was he that stingy?

Therefore, Leonardo sat between her and Douglas and separated them after Summer got on.

Summer and Douglas looked at each other across Leonardo with eyes full of contempt to Leonardo.

Summer recalled that Alisa said that Adams was thrown mud again when they were eating, so she took

out her phone to surf the Internet.

It, on the Internet, was worse than Summer had imagined.

She whispered into Leonardo's ear, "That's not what you do?"

Leonardo was still expressionless, but his tone was quite arrogant, "Do I need to?"

A person's character could often be seen according to the small things that he did.

That Adams abused a puppy to death was a hot topic, and there were pictures of that.

Though the pictures were not very clear, the outline of that figure clearly showed that it was Adams.

The pictures were taken consecutively. From Adams picked up the puppy to threw it to the ground. Five

pictures were taken continuously.

In the words of netizens, they were proof.

This time, most of the netizens no longer support Adams.

For a big shot like Adams, who had barely suffered from any negative news, such a scandal was a

devastating blow to his acting career.

"The image he had set up was ruined."

"I've already felt that this Adams was strange. How could he don't suffer from any negative news?"

"This is the result of breaking the contract with the Tip Top Media Company. Tip Top was big enough to

protect Adams. Therefore, once he canceled the contract, he dug up dirt on. Isn't that funny?"

Summer's gaze fixed on the last comment.

The entertainment was indeed complicated. Adams kept being a big shot because he was protected by

Tip Top, a leader of the entertainment.

Since Adams had broken the contract with Tip Top, he lost the umbrella. Thus, those social climbers

would naturally take this opportunity to step on him.

Once one failed, he would fall forever.

There were always social climbers in entertainment.

However, only very few of them could rise high by stepping on others.

In just a decade, Adams had become the youngest “Grand Slam winner” in the entertainment. So,

someone had long wanted to trample him down.
