Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 343

As Leonardo finished, Carl on the other end of the phone felt something went wrong. He stammered, "You didn't check in with Summer. I have to hang up, for I need to take care of something...."

It was rare for Carl to hang up before Leonardo.

Carl casually threw away his phone and made an internal call to his secretary. He instructed in a low voice, "Remove all the news about Leonardo's ex-wife from the Internet. Suppress this kind of news once you find it."

Last time, when Summer and Leonardo were kissing in the car, they were photographed by paparazzi and reported as news. Carl misunderstood that Summer had cuckolded Leonardo.

This time, Carl thought that the person who was with Summer at the entrance of the hotel was Leonardo, so he called to tease Leonardo.

However, what Leonardo said just now indicated that it wasn't him who kept Summer’s company.

Had Summer cheated on Leonardo?

Given that Leonardo got a fiery temper, he would be crazy.

Carl pondered for a while and felt that he couldn't watch still, so he decided to talk with Leonardo.

Thinking of this, he picked up his coat and went out.

After a few minutes, Summer called Leonardo again.

The line was not busy this time and she quickly got through.

"Leonardo."

"Yes."

She called out Leonardo's name, and Leonardo answered.

Summer was a little nervous. She wasn't sure if Leonardo had read the hot news. "I have something to explain to you."

"Come to the Emerson Group and explain to me in person." Leonardo said indifferently, "Hang up."

Summer was shocked, vaguely sensing that Leonardo might already know about the front-page news.

The boss of the shop served Summer steamed buns. "Miss, here you are."

"Thank you." Summer was not in the mood to enjoy steamed buns. After paying the bill, she left.

It was still the rush hour in the morning. Summer had been standing on the roadside for a long time, but she failed to hail a taxi.

Suddenly, a black car stopped in front of Summer.

Two bodyguards got out of the car and one of them opened the door to the back seat.

In the next moment, Adams' familiar face appeared in Summer's sight.

After Adams got out of the car, he adjusted his suit and looked at Summer with a smile. "Summer."

Summer narrowed her eyes and did not say anything.

"I have something to talk to you. You need to go with me." Adams walked up to her, smiling as triumphantly as just now.

Summer felt a little strange. However, before she could figure it out, the two bodyguards behind Adams stepped forward and each grabbed Summer's one arm. Then they brought her into the car.

Summer shouted, "What are you doing? Help!"

After the bodyguard stuffed her into the car, they tied her up with a rope. Obviously, they were well prepared.

All of this came suddenly, and no one noticed them.

Adams also got into the car.

Two bodyguards sat in front. One was driving, and the other was in the passenger seat.

As soon as they got on, the car started moving.

While the car was running, Summer shouted for help. However, it was useless, for no one outside could hear her.

Summer turned to look at Adams and said coldly, "Adams, why do you tie me? Have I offended you? Or do you want Vicky to vent her anger on me?"

"Vicky? I don't want to get involved in your business. Don't think so bad of me." Adams had a gentle smile on his face. As he spoke, he reached out to touch Summer's face.

Summer suddenly turned her head away and avoided Adams' hand. "Don't touch me!"

"Alright, I won't touch you." Adams retracted his hand and the smile on his face was less proud. "Do you want to see your daughter?"

Summer abruptly turned around, and the smile on Adams' face faded. "Then be good."

Leonardo searched the news online.

Leonardo kept looking at the pictures of Summer and Stanley taken by paparazzi.

Tim just came aware of this news. He knocked on the door and didn't know how to explain to Leonardo, only to discover that Leonardo was reading the news.

Tim silently wiped the sweat off his forehead. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Leonardo ask, "Who is this man?"

"He is Stanley, 28 years old. It is said that he is a doctor returning from overseas, an expert in criminal psychology, employed by the criminal investigation team now." When Tim saw this news, he had someone investigate Stanley's background.

Leonardo didn't say anything. He just turned around and stared at Tim silently.

Leonardo's eyes clearly indicated that it was useless to find out about this.

Tim lowered his head in shame. "Apart from these, I didn’t find anything else for the time being."

Leonardo put on a serious look. "Cannot you find anything about his family background or connections?"

"No. Stanley appears suddenly, perhaps because his profession is too confidential." Although Tim said so, he knew Stanley was not an ordinary man, for the Emerson family couldn't find out any other information about him.

Leonardo looked at his phone.

It had been almost an hour since he and Summer contacted, but Summer had not come yet.

"Go out." Leonardo ordered.

Hearing this, Tim nodded at Leonardo and left.

Leonardo called Summer again.

The phone rang twice and he got through.

The voice on the other end of the phone was not Summer's, but a very familiar male one. "Leonardo, let's play an interesting game."

"Adams?" Leonardo stood up from his chair abruptly and said in a gloomy tone.

As soon as Tim reached the door, he heard Leonardo mention Adams. Tim suddenly turned around.

Adams said calmly, "Don't be so surprised. I just want to invite you to play a game with Summer. Calm down."

Leonardo clenched his hands tightly beside him and gritted his teeth as he said, "Put Summer on the phone."

Adams returned with a smile, "If you want to talk to her, come to find her alone."

Leonardo roared, "Adams!"

The only response was a busy tone.

After Adams hung up, he casually tossed Summer's phone out of the car window in front of Summer.

"You...." Summer stopped in mid-sentence and bit her tongue.

"Do you really think you can hide it from everyone that you and Leonardo fake your divorce? Michael is an idiot, but I am not."

Adams slowly lit a cigarette, took a deep puff, and blew cigarette smoke at Summer.

Summer frowned and coughed. Through the smoke, she heard Adams' excited voice, "The game has begun."
