Predestined Marriage
Chapter 269 Come Over Here

There was a public toilet next to the milk tea shop.

Summer walked in with her bag on her back. Just as she closed the cubicle door, she heard a car pull up outside the public toilet.

That was followed by a series of footsteps.

And a familiar voice.

"If the news is true, Mrs. Emerson should be here."

Summer immediately realized that it was Tim, whose voice was so familiar to her.

She was spooked by Tim's words.

It sounded like Leonardo came here too.

The next moment, she heard Leonardo's indifferent voice, "Go in and take a look."

Only a day had passed after she burned down Leonardo's villa. But now when she heard his voice, she had the illusion of being in a different world. She leaned against the cubicle door and listened carefully. When she heard that Leonardo and his bodyguards left, she took a pee and ran out. She paused at the door and saw the familiar Rolls-Royce parked by the roadside.

She looked around and found that Leonardo happened to run into Eliza.

Eliza was facing Summer, while Leonardo and his bodyguards were standing with their backs to Summer. So they didn't see her.

Eliza was flustered at the sight of Summer.

Summer signaled to Eliza not to expose her location, and then hid behind the Rolls-Royce.

She heard Leonardo asking Eliza, "Have you seen Summer?"

Eliza glanced at the place where Summer had just stood and then crossed her arms, staring at Leonardo provocatively, "Why should I tell you that?" Leonardo sneered, "Normally, I won't hit women, but it doesn't mean that I won't hit you."

This frightened Eliza.

She said angrily, "You ... I haven't seen Summer. She's not my wife. Why should I have an eye on her?"

Summer hid behind the car and couldn't help feeling sympathy for Eliza.

Even at this distance Summer could feel Leonardo cold aura.

He said in a threatening voice, "Is that so?"

Summer poked her head out and saw Eliza taking two steps back with a pale face. Eliza said in a trembling voice, "She has already left. I don't know where she is going." Fortunately, Summer had guessed that Eliza would not be able to hold on. Thus, she ran into a small alley just as Eliza opened her mouth.

By the time Leonardo and his bodyguards turned around, Summer had already disappeared from behind the car.

Leonardo looked around and said in a deep voice, "Go replace her."

Tim led the bodyguards to look for Summer.

Leonardo just stood there.

He could feel that Summer was nearby.

This morning, Carl called him and said that someone had sent a strange package to the Tip Top Media Company. The recipient was "XN", so Carl guessed that it was for Leonardo.

Leonardo went to the company and opened the package, inside which were a box and a pen. Who else would send those things to him except Summer?

Yesterday, he had a fight with Carl. After that, he calmed down and realized that Summer must have escaped rather than committed suicide.

However, he was still worried unless he saw Summer himself.

Until he saw the package, he finally felt relieved.

Summer really escaped.

Not long after, Tim returned with those bodyguards.

He walked to Leonardo and saw the hope in Leonardo's eyes, but he still said truthfully, "Mr. Emerson, I didn't replace Mrs. Emerson."

After that, he looked down not to see Leonardo's expression.

Leonardo had not slept last night, but he was refreshed when he received the package this morning.

He thought that he would definitely replace Summer when they arrived here, but they didn't.

Not far away, Summer turned around and left.

In this world, as long as you spared no efforts, it was easy to replace someone or hide from someone.

This was not difficult.

Summer went to the bus stop and happened to catch the last bus to the neighboring city.

The four-hour bus ride worn Summer out.

By the time she got off, it was already afternoon.

She withdrew some money with the card that Eliza had given her, and went to have dinner.

The news broadcast in the restaurant was still about the Emersons.

"It is reported that Mrs. Emerson burned down her villa to commit suicide yesterday, but her body has not been found so far. The villa is in ruins now. The sources say that Mrs. Emerson may have died in the fire...."

Summer was a little surprised.

She was clearly alive, but the reports said that she may have died in the fire. Did someone do it on purpose?

Could it be Leonardo?

Leonardo knew what she was thinking, so he took advantage of the situation and asked the media to spread the word that Summer was already dead?

Summer had no way of knowing Leonardo's true intentions.

After leaving the Hoover City, she relaxed a little, because she thought Leonardo wouldn't replace her here.

However, it turned out that she was still too naive.

Leonardo was a man of his word, and this was completely reflected in his determination to replace Summer.

At midnight, Summer was sleeping and suddenly was woken by a noise in the corridor.

There were footsteps and voices.

Summer got up vigilantly and listened to the door for a while before walking to the window.

Her room was on the third floor, so she couldn't jump out of the window.

'Should I tear the sheet and use it as a rope to climb down like in the movies?'

However, she was pregnant, so she couldn't take risks with her baby.

Just as she was hesitating, the door was knocked open with a bang.

Then the light in the room was turned on.

The light was so dazzling that Summer covered her eyes with her hands.

When her eyes adjusted to the bright light, she looked at the door and saw a slender and tall figure.

"Summer."

Leonardo stood at the door, with the bright light falling on his chiseled but cold face. He stared at Summer with sharp eyes, looking like a ferocious beast that finally caught its prey in the jungle. Summer knew that her escape was over.

Leonardo found her just in thirty hours.

Summer was reluctant to go back with him and stood still.

Leonardo said calmly, "Come over here."

Summer didn't want to go.

But she had no other option.

She walked towards Leonardo, and then Leonardo carried her up with a smile and walked out.‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒
