Chapter 56 Throw It away If You Don’t Want It

Leonardo looked down at her slender white fingers on his arm. He did not shake them off but just said
seriously, “Isn’t it normal? Do you think my family can tolerate being fooled by your family?”

His expression was so solemn and cold that Summer wanted to shiver again.

On the first day Summer entered the Emerson’s, Leonardo had already asked someone to investigate
her thoroughly. He knew that she liked Jerome.

As for her pretending to be stupid and ugly, he couldn’t find out the reason because so many years had
passed.

Summer was shocked for a moment. She couldn’t help but become serious. “Did Leonardo ask you to
investigate me?”

“Of course.” Leonardo turned around and stood face to face with her, looking down at her.

Seeing her like this, he didn’t say anything else and went straight into the Golden Cauldron Club.

Leonardo had wanted to sit in a private room, but Summer felt that he had other intentions, so she
requested to sit in the living room.

Thus, they sat down by the window in the living room.

After ordering, Summer asked “Douglas”, “When will your cousin come back?”

“I don’t know.”

Seeing Summer’s disbelief, Leonardo crossed his arms around his chest and looked at her
expressionlessly. “Even if I know it, do I need to tell you?”

It seemed to make sense…



Summer lowered her head and looked at the phone in her hand.

It might be a casual move for Leonardo to give her a cell phone. His whereabouts were so mysterious.
He, of course, didn’t want others to know about his schedule.

Summer didn’t think Leonardo was living a comfortable life.

Leonardo glanced at Summer and saw that she was frowning with sadness. He thought that what he
said was too mean. After thinking for a while, he gave her a string of numbers.

Summer was confused. “What’s this?”

Leonardo slightly knitted his eyebrows, as if he was impatient. “It’s my cousin’s number.”

Summer instantly became refreshed. She hurriedly opened her phone’s address book and prepared to
save the number. “Say it again,” she said.

Seeing that she was so happy, Leonardo patiently said it again.

“Thank you!” Summer asked with a smile after saving the number, “Do you want more dishes?”

“There is no need,” Leonardo said coldly.

He couldn’t tell her that he was Leonardo.

Suddenly, he felt depressed, so he had a gloomy face during the entire meal.

However, Summer did not care about his expression. She was thinking about whether to call Leonardo
or text him later.

It was better to send a text message. Would it be embarrassing to call him?



She felt that it was more likely that he would hang up and defriend her.

…

After the meal, Summer and Leonardo stood up and left. The exit was right at the counter, so she went
to pay the bill.

Then she met Vicky and Jerome again.

Jerome smiled gently at Summer, “Summer.”

“Hello.” Summer nodded, not wanting to talk to him.

Vicky gritted her teeth in hatred as she saw them looking at each other, but she still forced a smile.
“Jerome, help Summer pay the bill.”

“There is no need. I’ve already paid.”

As soon as she said that, the cashier handed the black card back to Summer respectfully, “Miss,
please take your card.”

The voice of the cashier attracted the attention of Vicky and Jerome.

Summer took the card and said, “Thank you.”

Vicky and Jerome were shocked when they saw the black card in Summer’s hand.

As a top-notch family, the Emersons had a great deal of property, including banks. Their limited-edition
black cards were issued exclusively around the world, and only those who were important in the
Emersons could have one.



Although Summer held a secondary card, it was enough to show the importance the Emersons
attached to her.

Summer noticed their expressions and then looked down at the black card in her hand.

This black card … seemed to be very powerful.

Summer calmly said to them, “I’m leaving now.”

As soon as she returned to the car, Summer asked “Douglas”, “What is your card on earth?”

Leonardo replied simply, “It’s for shopping.”

Summer knew according to her intuition that “Douglas” was lying. She felt the black card was like a hot
potato. She immediately gave the card back to “Douglas” and said, “Now that I’ve invited you to a meal,
I should give this card back to you.”

Leonardo glanced coldly at her and threw the card back.

“What are you doing?” Summer stuffed it into his hand again.

Leonardo then threw it out of the window. He said in a calm and indifferent tone as if he was
commenting on the food today, “If you don’t want it, throw it away.”

Summer opened the car door and went down to pick up the card.

She didn’t dare to give it to “Douglas” anymore, because she didn’t dare to provoke this childe
anymore.

When Leonardo returned, she could give it to him.

…



The next day.

Summer went to the Jarrett Group by bus mainly because it was expensive to take a taxi.

Just as she got off the bus, she saw someone she didn’t want to see.

Jerome walked towards her and said, “Summer.”

Summer took two steps back, “What’s up?”

Jerome seemed not to notice her coldness, and a trace of disappointment flashed through his eyes. “I
just want to see you and talk to you alone.”

Compared to him, Summer was much more indifferent. “You’ve already said something. I need to go to
work. I’ve got to go.”

She used to like Jerome, but it was because she was surrounded by bastards. She beautified Jerome,
so she felt he was perfect in all respects.

But now she just took him as Vicky’s boyfriend.

Jerome smiled bitterly and said dispiritedly, “Since he treats you well, I can rest assured.”

Summer was bewildered. Karen would never say such words to her. How did Jerome summon up the
courage to say them?

“If you are so free, go to the hospital for a physical examination. Maybe you are out of your mind.”

As Jerome watched Summer leave, the disappointment on his face gradually was replaced by
confidence.



Summer was so indifferent must be because he tried to avoid suspicion. She had liked him for so many
years, so she could not dispel that feeling so soon.

Leonardo could even give Summer the black card, which meant he was kind to her.

The Patel family was on the wane these past few years. As long as he coaxed Summer into asking
Leonardo to give the Patel family some benefits, its situation would be better.

…

When Summer arrived at the cubicle and sat down, Vicky came over.

She couldn’t hide the gloat in her eyes. “Dad asked you to go to his office.”

“Did he say the reason?” Summer picked up her phone and stood up to look at her.

Vicky didn’t say more. “You will know when you get there.”

When she arrived at Lynn’s office, Summer saw the manager of the market department who had been
greeted by her stun gun yesterday.
