Summer took a deep breath and asked Adams with an almost trembling voice. “Where is my daughter?”
Adams was completely insane now.
If Rosie was hidden away by Adams and Michael, she dare not imagine what an insane person like Adams would do to Rosie.
Rosie was still so young.
Hearing that, Adams had a look of sudden realization. “Oh, that little cutie pie?”
Summer’s heart tightened as if someone was clutching onto her heart, and even her breathing became difficult. “You know where she is?”
“Of course I do because I was the one who stole her away…” AS he said that, he denied what he had said earlier. “No, I gave Michael that idea, and the child was taken by his men, but in the end, I took her away. As to where she is…”
He suddenly paused and held his hand out to touch Summer’s face.
Summer turned her head away in disgust, as she tried to avoid his touch, but now that she was tied to the chair, she could not escape Adams’s hand even if she turned away.
Adams was irritated by her constant dodging and violently grabbed her chin. “If you want to know where your child is, then you two need to play this game properly, and once I’m happy…”
Suddenly, a loud bang rang out, as the warehouse door was pushed open.
Immediately afterward, Leonardo’s deep voice boomed “Adams!”
Adams and Summer both turned their heads in the direction of the warehouse door.
Leonardo was still in his shirt and trousers and looked like he had just weathered a storm. His hair was messy, and his rumpled shirt sleeves were rolled up to the forearm as a murderous intent raged around his body.
His gaze fell onto Adams’s hand that was grabbing onto Summer’s chin. His black eyes narrowed and rumbled with a deep voice. “You let go of her.”
When Adams heard that, he simply just let her go, and stood up straight to look at Leonardo as if he was in a very good mood. “As you wish.”
Summer looked worried and called out: “Leonardo.”
Leonardo looked at her, and his gaze landed on her slightly reddened and swollen chin, the location that Adams had grabbed onto earlier.
His gaze sank as he turned to look at Adams. “I’ve come. Let Summer go.”
Adams sat down slowly on the chair with a faint smile. “Did I say I will let your woman go after you come? I only remember saying that come over yourself if you want to speak to her.”
Leonardo looked calm and said, “Name your conditions.”
“Oh?” Adams looked amused. “In view of us being brothers, I’ll give you Vicky. Although she may be addled in the head, she’s good in the bed.”
Summer could not help cursing out loud. “Adams, you are a madman!” “I’m talking to Leonardo, don’t interrupt.” Adams turned back and glanced at Summer.
Immediately, a bodyguard held a dagger against Summer’s neck.
Summer’s eyes reddened with anxiety, but no tears fell. “Leonardo, Adams is completely nuts! Ignore him!”
Leonardo did not even look at Summer and only said softly. “Sure, I’ll agree to whatever conditions you have.”
“Seeing you being so sincere, I of course would like to give you a chance to put up a show.” Adams said, and clapped his hands.
The next moment, Vicky was dragged out.
Vicky’s eyes were closed, seemingly having passed out.
“Wake her up.” Adams said.
Following that, he raised his hand and looked at the time. “It’s eleven o’clock now. You and Vicky will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to register, and then announce it to the media, then I’ll let Summer go. How about that?”
Summer immediately shook her head at Leonardo: “No!”
Leonardo finally gave her a glance, but it was only a slight glance before he shifted his eyes away. “I agree.”
“I will not allow it!”
Another voice came from outside the door.
Everyone turned to look and saw Michael rushing over.
“Adams, you are going too far. If you get Leonardo to marry such a woman, where will the Emerson family put its face in Hoover City in the future!” Michael said while pointing at Vicky.
Adams smiled sinisterly. “Sure, if you don’t allow Leonardo to marry this woman, then expose the matter between you and your baby sister to the media. Choose one then?”
“You…” Michael did not expect Adams to say that, and his face was fuming red.
At that moment, Vicky had regained her consciousness.
She looked around in a daze and finally set her eyes on Adams. “Adams…”
Adams turned his head and looked at her, his eyes were abnormally gentle, as he held his hand out and touched her head. “Don’t be afraid. Haven’t you always wanted to marry into a rich family? Are you satisfied with Leonardo?”
“What?” Vicky looked at Adams in astonishment. “What are you talking about? I don’t want to marry anyone, I just want to be with you.”
As she said that, she threw herself toward Adams.
Adams seemed to have anticipated that, and took a step back, letting Vicky fall directly onto the ground.
She looked up at Adams.
The latter only said a word to her. “Listen.”
Vicky shook her head. “No…”
The location where Summer was tied to was behind everyone, and aside from Leonardo, the attention of everyone else was on Adams and Vicky.
Summer glanced at Leonardo, and sat upright, taking advantage of the person holding the dagger next to her being distracted and stood up suddenly.
The sharp dagger cut a deep wound on her shoulder, and blood came gushing out.
“Summer!”
Leonardo’s expression immediately changed, and he darted straight toward Summer.
But Adams had brought too many men, and he was stopped halfway through.
Leonardo had been holding back ever since he got here, and at this moment he finally let loose and fought against Adams’s bodyguards.
Adams turned around and saw Summer white shirt had a large stain of blood on it.
Summer was losing blood rapidly, and her face was pale as her eyes showed outright disgust toward Adams. “Adams, weren’t you thinking of using me to push Leonardo? If I’m dead, what chips do you have left to use against him?”
Adams’s expression sank, but soon he hooked his lips again. “When you’re dead, there’s still his daughter.”
“Is that so?” Summer laughed. “Adams, why are you so foolish. Or do you think that I’m even more foolish, if you could use Rosie to threaten Leonardo, what’s the point of kidnapping me then? You could use Rosie directly against him.”
After Summer said that, the smile on her face deepened. “If you were to force him further, then be prepared to clean up the mess for me.”
Adams’s expression was extremely glum.
He did not say anything and turned to look at Leonardo who was still fighting with his bodyguards.
Adams had brought about thirty to forty bodyguards with him, and about half had fallen, while Leonardo had wounds all over him, yet he was still fighting like an enraged berserker.
