Predestined Marriage
Chapter 244: Fall into the Hell

Summer opened her mouth, but she did not know what to say.

Leonardo let go of her and said in a rare gentle tone, "It's time for you to take a nap."

After Summer became pregnant, she developed the habit of taking a nap. Not long, but she just rested for a while routinely.

She was a little confused, so she nodded her head and said, "Yes."

She lay on the bed and closed her eyes, thinking that she would not be able to sleep, but soon she fell asleep.

Seeing Summer fall asleep, Leonardo tucked her in and got up.

He gently closed the door behind him and walked to a jujube tree in the courtyard.

It was planted by her mother when he was very young. He didn't remember exactly how old he was that year.

It was midwinter, and the tree was bare without a leaf. There was not even a single leaf under it because servants cleaned the courtyard every day. Footsteps came from behind.

Adams' voice reached up to his ears. "Everyone said we were close. Well, it's just what it looks like." They were about the same height and size. Standing and facing each other, they seemed like two knights in a duel."

Adams smiled, his tone gentle as usual, "You terminated my contract only because of Summer, and you bought the trolls to slander me. What closeness did we have, huh?"

Leonardo did not even blink his eyes. "You forsook your dignity only because of Vicky. You are no better."

"You are no better."

Leonardo's words fiercely struck Adams.

His face contorted into something awful. "Why on earth do you look down on me?"

Leonardo remained expressionless and said, "I do look down on you. If you are against me, come straight at me. Don't harm a woman, especially a pregnant one."

Vicky was instigated by Adams when she drove a car towards Summer.

It was precisely because of this matter that Leonardo was thoroughly enraged.

"Oh, and about the trolls, I didn't do it. And I don't have to. Who do you think you are after you left Tip Top? You're just Adams. Who knows how others want to do with you?" There wasn't any disdain in Leonardo's tone, but Adams could feel it in every word.

Adams clenched his fists and suppressed his anger as he said, "Uncle wants me to go to the company!"

Leonardo replied lightly, "Whatever."

After he finished speaking, he looked at the time.

Normally, Summer would sleep for 40 minutes to an hour. He could have a cigarette before he came back. Summer would probably wake up then.

Leonardo took out a cigarette and lit it as if no one else was around.

Seeing Leonardo completely ignoring him, Adams didn't intend to humiliate himself. He took a significant look at him and left.

Because of what happened to his mother, Leonardo had been quiet since he was a teenager. Adams became close to Leonardo because of Douglas.

Then Leonardo ran a film company and he joined in. Their relationship became closer.

Adams was just eighteen ten years ago.

Even though he grew up as a good boy in others' eyes, he wanted to be rebellious.

So he went into entertainment industry without a word to his family.

He did not have much hope at the beginning, nor did he have any purpose. He didn't like what he did. And he never thought Leonardo could run this company so well. Life was unpredictable.

He happened to enter this industry, and he stayed in it for ten years.

After ten years, Tip Top had also become the leading company in this industry.

Ten years had also strengthened their relationship.

If...

There were no ifs in this world.

Adams had already walked to the door of his room.

He pushed the door open, locked it from inside, walked straight to the safe, took out the key, and opened it.

There were two DNA test reports in it.

He curled his lips, and a cold smile touched the corner of his mouth.

He took them out and walked into the bathroom. He lit them up with a lighter in front of the sink.

He watched as the reports that could threw him into the hell burned to ashes. He expressionlessly turned on the tap, seeing water washing the ashes down. Life was really boring.

He had lived seriously for 28 years, but in the end, he was nothing more than a joke.

Well.

Leonardo only took two puffs before putting it out.

He glanced in the direction where Adams had disappeared, then turned around and was about to walk back.

With a casual glance, he saw a shadow shaking beside a cluster of evergreen plants.

Leonardo strode over and saw Douglas who was about to sneak away.

"Stop." Leonardo narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly.

Douglas hastily turned around and smiled, "Hi."

"Why are you hiding here?"

"Nothing."

"Huh?"

One suspicious look from Leonardo forced the truth out from Douglas.

"I saw you two when I passed by, and then..." He couldn't help but eavesdrop.

From their conversation, Douglas could tell that they had completely broken apart.

Douglas was a little sad and whispered, "Why did you and my brother become like this? Didn't you guys get along well before?"

Leonardo didn't want to answer Douglas' question, but when he saw his sad face, something flashed in his eyes and he said, "You'd better ask him."

Douglas looked at him with confusion. He knew a little about the things online, but he couldn't figure out what exactly was going on.

Leonardo felt that this kid was being annoying.

However, he kept his patience and explained, "Summer would hit the trending topic with him because Adams asked for it. And Summer being called the home wrecker; it's all because of him." Douglas went to Adams' place when these happened. He had seen these on the Internet. He even joked about letting Summer be with Adams.

"Why would he do that?"

"You have to ask him."

Leonardo did not tell Douglas about Adams instigating Vicky to drive towards Summer.

He was young. Although he could be annoying, he was still a kind child in Leonardo's eyes.

Leonardo sighed inaudibly and touched Douglas' head, "Go back to your room. It's cold outside."

He took several steps forward but then he was stopped by Douglas, "Leonardo."

He turned around and saw Douglas frowning. "He went to hospital several times before Summer and he made the headlines, but he wasn't ill. It seemed that he was investigating something."

Leonardo's face turned cold as he nodded.000
