Summer walked out of Vicky's room and planned to call Leonardo as she walked downstairs.
However, before she could get through, she saw Adams walking towards the hall at the corner of the stairs.
She subconsciously cut off the phone call and fixed her gaze on Adams.
Adams was dressed in a well-pasted grey suit. He looked a little thin, with a gentle expression on his face. The curves of his lips seemed to have been carefully designed. He was like a person walking out of a movie poster, elegant and exclusive.
If all of this hadn't happened, Summer would still be his fan.
Probably because Summer's gaze was too obvious, Adams noticed her. The moment their eyes met, the gentle expression on Adams' face seemed to be cracking.
His smile stiffened, but in just a few seconds, he returned to normal.
Alexander was still in the hall. Adams looked away and walked towards Alexander with a gentle attitude, "Mr. Jarrett."
Alexander smiled and said, "Mr. Wilson, please take a seat."
When Summer went downstairs, Alexander and Adams were chatting on the sofa.
Summer resisted the impulse to rush over and question him with great effort.
Karen came out of somewhere and pulled Summer into a room.
She looked at the door for a while before
closing it and pulling Summer into the room,
"What's going on? Why is your sister's name on the marriage certificate?"
Summer looked at Karen in surprise.
Would she, the mother, finally care about her?
However, the next second, Karen ruined her fantasy.
"If you had given back the position as the Young Mistress of the Emersons to Vicky, all of this wouldn't happen today. But you are so greedy. Now Vicky was grounded. How pitiful..."
Karen chatted on and on for a long time before finally saying worriedly, "I wonder if this matter will affect the company..."
Summer couldn't help but sneer. Her voice was exceptionally cold, "Karen, what's wrong with you? If you are insane, go to the psychiatric department of the hospital. Don't push my limits here. I've had enough."
The design of the Jarrett villa was not bad. Almost every room was brightly lit by the sunshine, with windows towards both north and south.
It was so bright that Summer's expression was more than clear.
Karen clearly saw the boredom and tiredness, as well as calmness after disappointment on Summer's face.
She couldn't believe that Summer would say something like that, "Summer? What's wrong with you?"
In her memories, Summer had always been obedient, and she would agree to do whatever Karen said.
However, what Summer said just now made her panic.
"How can you talk to mom like this?" Karen frowned. She thought that she had heard it wrong just now.
She reached out for Summer's arm, "I know that you are in a bad mood because of the recent incident, but it was indeed your fault..."
"How did I talk to you?" Summer quietly took two steps back and avoided Karen's grasp. "Vicky called you a dog of the Jarretts. Aren't you still pleasing her? I'm just telling the truth, and can't you stand it anymore?"
Karen's expression changed slightly. "Vicky is young and not mature. It's normal for her to lose her temper occasionally."
Summer said coldly, "I'm younger than her."
Summer smiled with satisfaction and slowly walked out.
Karen watched Summer walk to the door, farther and farther away from her. A sense of panic arose in her heart.
She subconsciously took two steps forward and shouted, "Summer!"
Summer didn't seem to hear her and went straight out.
The door was shut and the room was quiet.
Karen stood in the middle of the room with a long face.
Was she really wrong? But, what went wrong?
Weren't all stepmothers supposed to treat their step-sons and step-daughters better like her?
Summer was her biological daughter. No matter how she treated Summer, this fact couldn't be changed.
Yeah, that was it.
Summer said those words today because she was muddled by what had happened in the past two days.
No matter what, she was Summer's biological mother.
It was impossible for Summer to deny it.
With this thought, Karen's expression returned to normal.
In the past, Summer had listened to her for so many years, but now, she was just a little angry. She would be fine soon, just like before.
