“Tim told you?” Leonardo asked as he enjoyed covering his eyes.
Summer was about to talk serious business, but at that moment, she heard him speak in a rather bizarre tone. “He has your number? Carl has your number as well?”
It did not seem like a good time to talk.
Summer pursed her lips and helplessly said, “Fine, forget it if you don’t want to tell me.”
As she said that, it sounded like she was grumbling a little, but Leonardo straight up answered, “Yeah.”
Summer was so pissed that she threw the hairdryer on the sofa. “Blow your own hair, then!”
Leonardo opened his eyes and grabbed Summer, his tone serious. “Why do you do things only halfway through?”
“What? Are you managing me now?” Summer glared at him.
Leonardo pulled her into his arms. “I can’t manage you, but I still need to fix you.”
Summer raised her chin in a show of strength.
The next second, Leonardo suddenly reached out and pushed her down on the sofa before he started to tickle her.
“Ahhh!!!”
Summer was unprepared, and she screamed as she was startled by Leonardo’s sudden movements. Upon noting her precarious situation, she tried to turn over and escape.
Unfortunately, she never was Leonardo’s opponent, and he immediately pushed her back.
Leonardo knew the sensitive spots on her body better than she did, and the moment he struck, Summer could not stop laughing.
“Leonardo, let me go… Ahahaha…”
Summer was able to resist it at first, but in the end, she had to ask for mercy.
Just as she was about to burst into tears from laughing, Leonardo finally let her go and helped her up.
Leonardo wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes and asked, “Doesn’t that fix you up?”
Summer slapped his hand away. “Don’t talk to me! Childish!”
“Me, childish?” Leonardo raised an eyebrow. “Again, then.”
Summer immediately escaped before he could respond. She ran into the bedroom and locked it from the inside. “You’re sleeping outside tonight!”
Leonardo’s face darkened. “Summer!”
The moment she heard Leonardo’s voice with his withheld anger, she felt good.
Nevertheless, Summer could not really let Leonardo sleep outside, and in the end, she let him in.
It was just that, right until she was about to fall asleep, Summer remembered how Leonardo seemed to have never answered her question.
His ability to divert the conversation was getting stronger and stronger.
…
The next day.
When Summer woke up, Leonardo was no longer beside her.
As she thought of what happened yesterday, Summer continued to worry about Leonardo.
She sat in bed and gave Leonardo a call.
While waiting for the call to connect, Emerson Summer was a little uneasy, but fortunately, Leonardo quickly answered the phone.
“You’re awake.” Leonardo’s end was very quiet, and she could only hear his slight breathing. There were no other voices besides that.
“You’re in your office?” Summer asked.
“Yeah,” Leonardo responded. Following that was the sound of a file being turned.
” I’ll leave you to your work, then..”
Summer hung up.
…
Leonardo put down the phone, and his gaze turned to the DNA test report that was half-read.
The sound of him turning over files on the phone was actually the sound of him turning over the DNA test report.
He read through it very slowly, and when he saw the last part, he sneered.
Tim, who was standing across the desk, saw Leonardo going through the documents and suddenly laughing to himself. He felt goosebumps all over his body.
He lowered his gaze and did not dare look at the DNA test report before Leonardo.
The DNA test report was something Leonardo had ordered him to collect in the morning.
He dared not open it to see what was inside or guess who the DNA test report was for, but he could vaguely sense that it had something to do with the Emerson family.
Tim nodded slightly and said, “Young Master, if there’s nothing else, I’ll head out first.”
Leonardo tossed the DNA test report before him and said, “Send this to the Emerson residence.”
Tim reached out and picked it up. “Who should the recipient be?”
Sure enough, it was related to the Emerson family.
Leonardo leaned back on his chair, and his tone was indifferent. “Anyone will do.”
Anyone?
Tim did not ask further as he turned and left.
…
At night, the moment Michael entered the door, a servant greeted him, took the coat in his hand, and said, “Sir, someone sent an express delivery earlier. No names of the sender or recipient were written on it. Do you want to open it now?”
With Grandpa Emerson in a state of dementia, Michael naturally became the new head of the Emerson family, and anything at home would be reported to him.
Express delivery?
Michael pondered for a moment and said, “Bring it over.”
The servant immediately turned around and took the delivery package as soon as she heard that.
Michael ripped the package open and pulled out a brown paper packet.
He weighed it a little and felt some mass. There were documents in it.
He tore open the brown paper packet and reached for the documents inside.
Michael’s expression darkened once part of the document was revealed.
His hands froze, and he said with a somber look, “Get out, all of you!”
The servants had no idea why Michael’s mood had changed so abruptly, and they were too afraid to ask questions, so they all hurried out.
Just as the servants were all about to leave, Michael said, “Hold up.”
“Is there anything else, Sir? The servant who was at the end of the line turned back.
“Call the miss over,” Michael said in a rumbling voice.
The servants knew that “miss” referred to Violet.
Soon, Violet came over.
“Brother, what’s the matter?” Violet knew that Michael would not call for her without any reason. For him to summon her so hurriedly, there had to be some urgent matter.
Michael gave her the brown paper packet with a grim look on his face. “Look at this.”
Violet was slightly surprised as she took the packet and pulled out the document inside. With only a glance, she was gripped by shock. “This is…”
A dark gleam flashed across Michael’s eyes. “It’s Leonardo. He’s found out.”
Violet was trembling all over, and there was a quiver in her voice too. “This… How is this be possible?! How… How did he find out? Could it be someone else?”
“Who else besides him would know that Adams’s my illegitimate son? He is clearly challenging me!” Michael sneered, and a trace of menace was visible in his eyes. “So what if he knows? I still have my trump card with me. What can he do to me?”
“Brother… Leonardo… he’s too smart. We…” Violet’s body shook like beaten chaff. “It won’t work…”
Michael was a lot calmer than her, and he reached out to hold her shoulder. “Don’t worry, his daughter is with me. As long as he wants that daughter of his, he won’t be able to do anything to us, and naturally won’t disclose the matter.”
“How did Leonardo’s daughter end up with you?” Violet went back to M Country right after Chinese New Year and had no idea what happened after that.
