Summer Sweetheart novel (Leonardo and Summer)

Chapter 71 Better Player

Leonardo slowly stood up and looked at Michael coldly, “You are old. Don’t pay much attention on

trifles.”

He was telling his father to mind his own business.

Michael was wise enough to get his point.

He was so angry that he wanted to throw something, but he didn’t.

Liam walked forward and poured him a glass of water, “Sir, calm down. Mr. Emerson is young. He will

understand one day.”

Michael sighed, “I hope so.”

After coming out of the teahouse, Leonardo took out his phone and wanted to call Summer.

But on second thought, he put it back.

He was somewhat looking forward to how Summer would deal with it.

…

Summer was almost late.

When she sat down at her desk, she found everyone was looking at her, in a weird way.

Summer took out her phone and looked at her face. There was nothing on it.

A female colleague sitting opposite her pointed at her cell phone kindly when she saw her confused.

Summer understood, smiled at her, and turned on her phone to watch the news.

She usually read entertainment stories on the Internet every day she woke up. But today, she

overslept, so she didn’t have time for it.

She was on the headline!

She clicked and found photos of her and “Douglas” outside the restaurant yesterday.

Summer was shocked at first but soon calmed down.

“Douglas” was arrogant and unscrupulous, and it was only a matter of time before others took pictures

of them.

She knew she didn’t do anything, but what would the Emersons think of her?

What if Leonardo saw it as well?

Lynn called, “Come to my office.”

…

Lynn was in his office alone. Vicky’s face swelled up like a balloon. She couldn’t come to company

today.

“What happened between you and Douglas?” Lynn’s face darkened when he saw her.

Summer curled her lips and said indifferently, “Nothing.”

“Nothing? Then what is this?” Lynn put his phone in front of her. It was a picture of them.

Summer leaned over and placed her hands on the desk. Her red lips curled up slightly. Her bright face

looked rather charming. She said casually, “You should ask Vicky. She was the one who took the

photo. She should know it best.”

On the way to Lynn’s office, she had thought about it carefully. No one but Vicky had the guts to take

their pictures and send them to the media.

Besides, only a few people knew her and “Douglas”.

“Summer, when did you become so cruel? Vicky suffered so much because of you yesterday, and now

you want to frame her!” Lynn became angry and stood up.

Summer took a few steps backward. Something cold moved in her eyes. She smiled, “I would like to

see how you’ll handle this before I decide on whether to help you or not.”

Lynn told her yesterday to persuade Leonardo to invest in his company. She hesitated whether to help

him or not. But hearing what he said just now, Summer made up her mind.

Vicky deserved it, but in Lynn’s eyes, it was all because of Summer.

Knowing it was a misunderstanding about Summer leaving work early, he just pretended nothing had

happened. He didn’t even apologize to her.

Summer wouldn’t help Lynn.

But it was a fun game. She wanted to see who played it better.

Even if the same blood flew through both their hearts, once there was no longer emotional bond

between them, she had nothing to worry about.

…

She heard people talking about the news wherever she went.

However, she ignored all of them, and those people didn’t dare to ask her even if they wanted to.

By the time she got off work, she was not the trending topic, but people were still talking about it on all

kinds of forums.

Jessica also called her.

“Next time when you become the trending topic, can you bring me along as well? People are talking

about you. You became a star.”

Summer didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Do you think I want that?”

Jessica suddenly said seriously, “To be honest, I have seen that photo. Although many people said you

two just looked intimate from that angle, but I can tell with just a glance that there is no such thing! I

have long felt something was wrong with that Douglas. Is there something going on between you?”

“No. Nothing!” Summer denied, “Just come back after finishing your movie. I’m off work now.

Goodbye.”

After hanging up the phone, Summer heaved a sigh of relief and packed up her things to leave.

As soon as she went outside, she was besieged by reporters before she could react.

“Miss Jarrett, are the rumors about you and your husband’s cousin true?”

“Apart from your cousin-in-law, are you seeing any other men?”

Summer was astounded.

She immediately covered her face.

She had never thought that one day she would be besieged by reporters.

Summer quickly put her mask on. Then, she raised her head and said coldly, “No comment. I’m not a

star yet. I have the right not to answer your questions.”

A reporter added extra meaning to her words.

“Miss Jarrett, you just said you’re not a star yet. So are you planning to go into entertainment in the

future?”

Other reporters began to ask, “Rumor has it that your husband may not be able to take over the

Emerson Group for personal reasons, so are you entering the entertainment to make a living?”

“So you did it on purpose before, right?” Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

She was speechless again.

Summer was surrounded by reporters. She could not get out.

Suddenly, security guards came over and drove all the reporters away.

Before Summer could react, Jerome suddenly appeared. He held her hand and led her to the parking

lot.

When Summer thought his hands had touched Vicky’s body, she felt sick and took her hand back.

Jerome froze for an instant. He said patiently, “Those reporters will find you at any time. Get in my car,

I’ll drive you.”

Summer hesitated for a moment and followed him into the car.

She was afraid of these reporters, so she decided to leave here as quickly as she could.
