Chapter 186: It&##x27;s Time to Give Up His Small Business

"Grandfather."

Summer went downstairs and sat down opposite Charlie.

Seeing that it was Summer, Charlie smiled and said, "This was an impromptu visit. I was worried that
there would be no one in the home."

Summer also smiled, but she’s a little embarrassed and didn't know what to say.

Charlie asked, "Where's Leonardo?"

Ava brought Summer a cup of tea. Summer held the cup and said, "He went to work."

Only then did Charlie reveal an expression of dawning comprehension, "I’m old and can’t think things
straight. I actually thought that you guys were as idle as me. I’m a stupid old man...."

"Grandpa, you're old but hale. You're not stupid," Summer smiled. She still didn't know the real reason
why Charlie came to her.

"I retired early back then. Leonardo's father is now in his early fifties, and he isn't as energetic as
before. It's said that Leonardo started a company with others. You know that, right?"

Hearing this, Summer knew the purpose of his visit.

Leonardo founded the Tip Top Media Company and had been working there. He didn't spend time
managing the family business of the Emerson family.

Charlie said that Leonardo's father wasn't as energetic as before. His intention was obvious. He wanted
Leonardo to take over the Emerson Group.

Since Charlie didn't declare his intention, Summer vaguely said, "I just know a little."



Charlie smiled and said meaningfully, "Sooner or later, Leonardo will take over the Emerson Group. It's
time for him to give up his small business, right?"

The Tip Top Media Company was the leader of the entertainment industry in the country, but Charlie
thought it was just a small business?

However, it wasn't an exaggeration.

After all, the Emerson family was a wealthy family and had accumulated wealth and resources for
generations. Therefore, Leonardo's company was indeed no match.

"I'm not clear about Leonardo's work," Summer looked down and said humbly.

The reason why Charlie came here today was probably that he wanted Summer to persuade Leonardo
to take over the Emerson Group.

However, why did he want her to do that?

Since he came to see her, it meant that Leonardo himself did not want to return to the Emerson Group.

Naturally, she wouldn't admit anything in front of Charlie.

Hearing this, the smile on Charlie's face faded a little. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Summer,
revealing his dignity as the head of the Emerson family.

Feeling the pressure coming from Charlie, Summer's body tautened.

But she didn't give in.

They confronted each other for a while. Suddenly, Charlie laughed loudly, "Leonardo really has a good
girlfriend!"



Summer unclenched her fists and her palms were wet.

She was not as calm as she seemed. Actually, she was fearful.

Charlie was different from Alexander. Charlie had experienced a lot, even some tough situations. When
he was young, he had rid the whirlwind in the business circle. Now even though he was old and retired,
he was still awesome.

This was probably the specialty of the Emersons.

They had wealth and status that others were envious of, so they were naturally more confident and
august than ordinary people.

They were born with such characteristics, and no one else could learn it.

"To be frankly, I want Leonardo to take over the Emerson Group. Last time, I talked to him about this in
the old house, but he refused. Please help me persuade him. I'm begging you."

Charlie's tone was so piteous and sincere that Summer couldn't bear to refuse.

"I'll talk about it with Leonardo. But since he didn't even listen to you, I'm afraid...."

Charlie smiled with satisfaction and interrupted her, "Don't worry. He will listen to you."

After knowing that Summer would talk about this with Leonardo, Charlie left with satisfaction.

He came and left in a hurry. It could tell that he was a man of action when he was young. Leonardo
probably got that from him.

After Charlie left, Summer received Leonardo's phone call.

As soon as the phone was connected, Leonardo asked, "Have you had breakfast?"



"I'm eating now." She had talked with Charlie for a while that it was actually almost noon now.

Leonardo asked, "Did grandpa leave?"

"You knew he would come?" Summer put down her chopsticks and asked.

Leonardo sneered, "Otherwise, what else can he do?"

His tone was very arrogant.

...

Summer had no appetite, so she casually ate something and put down her chopsticks. She intended to
eat lunch then.

However, Leonardo, who was supposed to be at the company, actually returned home at noon.

"Aren't you at work?"

Leonardo curled his lips and looked at Summer meaningfully, "You're more important than work. I still
remember what you said in the morning."

Summer didn't want to talk to him.

She walked to the dining room.

Ava seemed to have known that Leonardo would come back for lunch and prepared many dishes.

"Because of Mr. Charlie's sudden visit, I forgot to tell you that when Mr. Emerson left this morning, he
said that he would come back for lunch," Ava explained when she saw Summer's puzzled expression.

Summer turned around and looked at Leonardo.



Leonardo sat down opposite her and said, "I'm not going to the company this afternoon. I've finished
my work in the morning."

"Carl has no problem with you leaving early?"

Speaking of Carl, Summer suddenly thought of those screenshots Jessica had showed her yesterday.

Leonardo said with a straight face, "So what if he is unhappy about that?"

Indeed, Carl was afraid of Leonardo. He didn't dare to say anything even if he didn't want Leonardo to
leave early.

Summer pursed her lips and pondered for a moment, "Carl ... likes women, right?"

"What?" Leonardo raised his eyebrows and asked.

Summer only said, "It's rumored online that he and Adams...." She stopped and let Leonardo imagine
what she was going to say next.

Unfortunately, Leonardo didn't understand what Summer meant.

"What happened to him and Adams?"

Summer choked and took out her phone, attempting to show Leonardo the most popular comment
online.

However, when she opened Weibo, she discovered that the topic "Adams' mysterious girlfriend" was
trending again.

Leonardo was putting food on Summer's bowl. Seeing that her expression changed, he asked, "What
happened?"



"Adams and I became a trending topic again," Summer frowned and handed her phone to Leonardo.

Leonardo took it over and found that someone had posted photos of Summer and Adams showing up
at the airport together. And it made Adams and Summer a trending topic.
