The bodyguard took the kick and lowered his head slightly, not daring to speak.
Didn't Mr. Emerson say that he wanted to throw that woman out?
They followed his order, but he seemed to be unsatisfied.
Mr. Emerson was getting difficult to understand day by day.
The bodyguard carefully glanced at Leonardo and asked, "Mr. Emerson, what do you ..."
Leonardo frowned and waved his hand, signaling the bodyguard to stop talking and leave.
After the bodyguard left, Leonardo stood there and stared in the direction of the entrance for a while before walking over with a sullen face.
The entrance of the villa was empty. Summer was not there anymore.
Leonardo clenched his fists, and a trace of anger appeared on his face.
On the way back, Summer got a call from Jerome.
Jerome knew about the news.
He comforted Summer, "You don't need to worry about this matter. I will let someone handle it."
The Patel Family had already fallen into Jerome's hands. He was an ambitious person. In the past three years, the Patel Group had been developing very quickly. He had made a name for himself and had also become one of the new rich in the Hoover City. He had the ability to solve the problem.
Summer knew this matter was caused by those reporters. It was not Jerome's fault.
Summer was grateful that Jerome was willing to deal with it.
She said with mixed feelings, "Thank you."
She didn't want to have much connection with Jerome. But now she didn't have a choice.
Somehow, it's difficult to keep a distance from another person as well as maintaining a relationship with another person.
It is often impossible to find the perfect way to deal with things.
Jerome said earnestly, "I am also responsible for it. If I didn't go to see you, I wouldn't have been photographed by the media. I wasn't thoughtful enough."
Summer pursed her lips slightly, not knowing what to say.
Jerome seemed to have sensed Summer's mood. He said, "The Patel Group is in the ascending stage now. My personal image is also very important. Even if it wasn't you but another woman in that picture, I would still deal with it like this."
Summer paused for a moment and replied, "I know."
Actually, if it wasn't for her, Jerome wouldn't have been involved in this kind of things.
Jerome said, "I still have matters to attend to. I'll hang up first."
Just as Summer was about to put her phone back, Stanley called.
Stanley straightforwardly asked her: "Where are you now? Where did the news come from? Can you handle it?"
Summer knew that Stanley wanted to ask about this matter.
"It's alright," she said, "Someone's dealing with it."
After a moment of silence, Stanley asked,
"Jerome?"
Stanley was a clever person. So Summer wasn't surprised when he guessed that Jerome was dealing with it.
Summer said half-jokingly, "Doctor Stanley, you are so smart that nothing can be hidden from you."
"I'm only analyzing this matter according to basic logic." Stanley paused for a moment before continuing, "If it was Leonardo, this news would disappear right after it appeared. How could it be on the headlines for the whole morning?"
Summer revealed a bitter smile. Then she took the lead and walked towards the elevator
entrance.
"What do you mean by that expression?" Jessica followed behind her and said, "Did he really... throw you out?"
Summer walked into the elevator and stared at the slowly changing floor numbers. She replied indifferently, "Yes."
"Are you joking now?" Jessica still didn't believe it.
"Mainly because I slapped him." Hearing this, Jessica couldn't help but opened her eyes wide.
She stared blankly for a few seconds, organized her words, and said, "Wait a moment. You slapped Mr. Emerson, and he asked the bodyguard to throw you out, right?"
Summer nodded, "Yes."
The elevator door just opened and Summer walked out.
Jessica continued to follow, "I can't imagine him getting slapped. It must be very scary. However, you are still standing here properly after slapping him. I actually have a feeling that he has already shown you extraordinary kindness."
Summer stopped and asked Jessica doubtfully, "Is Leonardo so scary in your eyes? It's true that he has a bad temper and is a ruthless person, but he definitely isn't an unreasonable..."
After saying that, Summer suddenly stopped.
Because she remembered that Leonardo was quite unreasonable recently.
Seeing the look on Summer's face, Jessica stopped talking.
After entering the room, Summer poured a glass of water for Jessica. "His temper is even worse than before. Leonardo seems to be very angry at the stupid report about me and Jerome. He said something very rude. I was very angry so I slapped him."
Jessica said with a serious look, "If we look at it from another perspective, him being angry means that he cares about you very much. Do you think so?"
