When she first learned that Leonardo had found a woman to have plastic surgery to become Rachel, Summer was also shocked and had questioned him.
But after finding out that Rachel did it willingly, her feelings were complicated on the matter.
It felt like using another person to exchange her daughter back.
There was no life that was more valuable than another, but humans are selfish creatures.
Seeing Summer not speaking after a while, Rachel smiled and comforted her. “Young mistress, you don’t have to think that you owe me anything. I did this willingly. This allows me to feel some worth in my existence. If not for the young master, I would have been dead.”
Although Summer had not yet had a good life since young, when compared to Leonardo however, her experience was far better.
She lowered her head and pondered for a moment. “Thank you.”
As she thought about it, she reminded Rachel. “Adams is a very cunning man, you must be very careful then.”
…
By the time they arrived at the island, it was the morning of the third day agreed with Adams.
When Summer and Leonardo had arrived, Adams had yet to arrive.
Leonardo’s men searched the island inside and out, and there was nothing aside from the few servants looking after the house.
Summer looked at the azure sea and asked Leonardo anxiously. “Will he have a sudden change of mind and not come?”
There was a flicker in Leonardo’s eyes. “No, I know him.”
The two had been friends for many years, and there were bound to be similarities.
And the similarity between him and Adams was their persistence to certain things and people.
Rachel was a particularly special existence for Adams.
Adams felt that Vicky looked like Rachel, and that’s why he was willing to be with her and accommodated Vicky’s wiles and fancies.
If he could bear with Vicky, then not to mention the perfect copy that Leonardo had prepared for him.
Adams will definitely come.
Summer followed behind Leonardo and waited anxiously for Adams to arrive.
They waited from sunrise all the way to sunset, and Adams finally arrived when night fell.
Adams came by boat and brought many people with him.
The two sides confronted each other in the villa’s lobby.
This island was purchased by Adams and had built helipads and luxury villas on it.
Adams’s men lined up on both sides and created a path in the middle.
Adams slowly walked over, and his gaze landed on Leonardo, his tone as gentle as ever. “The boat was a little slow, sorry for keeping you waiting, Leonardo.”
Leonardo’s expression stiffened. “Where’s the girl?”
Adams clapped his hands, and a middle-aged woman walked toward them with a baby in her arms.
Summer was standing behind Leonardo, and when she saw the middle-aged woman carrying her baby forward, she could not help but to go forward as she muttered. “Rosie…”
Leonardo held her back without saying anything, his gaze was affixed upon Adams. “How can I be sure that she is my daughter?”
“Hah!” Adams laughed. “You’re ever so smart.”
As Adams said that, another middle-aged woman walked out with another baby.
Summer was shocked, and the next moment, she heard Adams’s almost irreverent voice rang out. “Take a guess, which is your daughter?”
As he said that, Adams’s subordinate behind him handed him a pistol.
Adams blew at the muzzle of the gun and pointed at the two babies with it. The smile on his face was very gentle. ” I heard that parents have a telepathic bond with their child. I believe that you two would definitely guess the right one.”
Summer bit her lips. “Adams, they are just children, children that can neither speak nor walk!”
While Adams did not overtly say it, his intention was clear, when Leonardo and Summer chose one, the other would be killed…
It was outright insane.
“Summer’s, you can’t be looking down on people. You need to be fair and equal, and respect the rules of the game, or else…” Adams paused for a while here, before his expression turned gloomy. “You will get neither!”
“Adams.”
Suddenly, a female voice rang out from behind.
Summer followed the crowd and turned back, and saw Rachel walking downstairs.
Rachel had waist-length hair, and wore a white dress, looking very gentle and beautiful.
Her gaze was fixed on Adams. “I haven’t seen you for many years now, you have changed a lot.”
As she spoke, she approached Adams.
Summer noticed that Adams’s expression suddenly changed the moment he saw Rachel.
Shock, confusion, agitation, excitement… all sorts of emotions crossed his face.
” Rachel?” A clack later, the gun in his hand fell onto the ground.
Rachel walked through the crowd and came before Adams. “It’s me.”
Adams looked at Rachel’s face, and it was the same face in his memory that he could not even blink.
Rachel reached out and grabbed Adams’s hands as she spoke in a gentle tone. “Adams, how did things come to this point between you and Leonardo? I don’t know what misunderstanding you two have, but the child is innocent. Return her to them, okay?”
Summer grabbed her own hand nervously and even when her nails bit into her palm, she did not feel any pain.
Adams seemed to be bewitched by Rachel and, and nodded imperceptibly.
There was a flash of surprise in Summer’s eyes, but before the joyous thought could even appear, she heard Adams said, “Rachel, we are not in a hurry. Let’s play a game with me. It’s an interesting one. Once the game is over, I will take you home.”
As Adams said that, he looked at Leonardo. “Leonardo, I’m worn out from the journey today. We’ll continue tomorrow.”
As he said that, he left with his men.
There were a few villas built on the island, and Adams brought his men to live in one of the villas.
As soon as Adams left, Rachel fell straight onto the ground.
Seeing so, Summer immediately helped her up.
Rachel grabbed Summer’s arm and said with a lingering fear in her heart. “I feel that he saw through that I’m a fake.”
Summer was shocked as she heard that, but before she could ask Leonardo, she heard him speak. “I knew you were fake from the beginning.”
Summer looked at him in disbelief. “What are you talking about? If Adams knew that she was a fake Rachel, why would he exchange the real Rosie for her?”
She knew that it was not that easy.
Leonardo only reminded her. “Vicky.”
Summer raised her head as she heard the words. “You mean…”
“Yes.” Leonardo interrupted her without waiting for her to finish and gave her a deep look. “Everyone always holds on to something in their mind.”
Summer remembered that Adams’s favor and accommodation of Vicky was entirely because Vicky looked a bit similar to Rachel.
