His Ugly Bride (Anna and Sebastian) novel Chapter 255

Jessica rolled her eyes and said, "You're not crazy. Why would you push Charlie?"

Summer nodded in agreement. "Yeah."

Jessica was very blunt.

Summer said absentmindedly, "Even you know that I couldn't do it. Why would Leonardo suspect me?"

"What? He suspects you?" Jessica asked in surprise.

Summer briefly told her what had happened yesterday.

Before Jessica could say anything, Carl, who was standing aside, said, "Is someone trying to set you up?"

Summer took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I think so. But I don't understand why Leonardo suspects me." Carl pondered in silence.

Jessica asked tentatively, "He should have his own reasons..."

"I don't know." Summer shook her head.

Jessica and Carl didn't stay long. They left after a while.

Jessica was able to visit the Emersons' old mansion thanks to Carl.

Besides, they visited Summer secretively. They couldn't stay any longer.

The moment they left, Leonardo returned.

The sight of him made Summer delighted.

However, she soon noticed the police behind Leonardo.

She turned to look at him.

But Leonardo ignored her. He looked at the police and said, "You can ask her now."

With his permission, a police officer walked over to Summer and said, "Mrs. Emerson, we are here to get your statement about what happened to Charlie Emerson yesterday."

The police were serious and professional. Summer was naturally very cooperative. "Alright.

"Your name and age."

"Summer. Twenty-three years old." After the New Year, she was twenty-three.

"Where were you 11:20 am yesterday when Charlie fell down the stairs?"

"I'm in the villa. On the stairs."

"What were you doing there?"

"A maid said that Charlie asked me to come over."

"What's her name?" "I don't know."

The policeman asked a lot of questions but finally they reached an impasse.

Summer did not know the maid. She did not have an alibi and no one could prove her innocence.

The policeman stood up and said very politely, "Thank you for your cooperation, Mrs. Emerson."

Summer nodded in silence.

When the police left, Summer and Leonardo were left alone.

Ever since Charlie's accident, Leonardo had spent most of his time in the hospital. Apart from the fight last night, they didn't talk to each other.

Leonardo suddenly said, "Were you telling the truth?"

"Of course? Do you think I was lying?"

Summer stood up with a smile, walked to Leonardo and stared at him. "If I were lying, wouldn't you be able to tell?"

Leonardo said expressionlessly, "People can disguise. I'm just a human. Of course, I make mistakes."

They were very intimate. She was sure that she was not mistaken.

There was surprise in her eyes. Before she could say anything, she felt a pain in her neck and her mind went blank.

Before she fainted, she met Leonardo's gaze. There were complicated emotions in his eyes.

Summer fell into his arms.

Leonardo held her head and embraced her gently. One of his hand was on her waist and the other on her head. He didn't move for a long time.

After a while, he called, "Tim."

Tim walked in from outside. "Mr. Emerson."

"Get the car ready. I will send her back." "Yes, sir."

With that, Tim turned around and walked out.

When he was at the door, he couldn't help but look back.

Leonardo was on the sofa with Summer in his arms. They were in an intimate position.

When she was unconscious, he lowered his head and gently pushed her hair away. His move was light and careful.

Tim thought they were just an unusually harmonious and loving couple. It didn't seem like they were in a flight

Tim shook his head.

He knew Leonardo loved and cared for Summer. How could he doubt her?

However, Tim didn't have a clue of what Leonardo was planning.

Over the years, he was always with Leonardo. He knew how enduring and powerful Leonardo was. Leonardo was always clear-headed, knowing what he should do and should not do.

However, Tim couldn't understand what Leonardo was up to this time.
