Chapter 301 Track Me down?

It took Summer a few seconds to understand what Jerome meant.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" She turned to look at Jerome with a slightly cold expression.

Jerome smiled, looking quite innocent. "I didn't know it until now."

Summer sneered. How could she believe what he said?

She turned around and looked in the direction of the entrance of the banquet hall. Leonardo wasn't
there.

After Leonardo officially took over the Emerson Group, he needed to attend many activities and
banquets.

But those were all high-class gatherings, so Summer never expected that he would come to such a
dinner party attended by Jerome.

On the other hand, without any business dealings, the Patels and the Emersons had almost no contact
with each other.

Therefore, she never thought that Leonardo would come here.

She now felt that Jerome had done it on purpose.

"You are my date now and supposed to stay with me tonight." Jerome's lips curved into a smile. He
even signaled Summer to follow him with his arm.

Summer had mixed feelings about that.

If Leonardo came and found out that she was at the party with Jerome, he would definitely get furious.



Summer thought for a while and decided to be candid with Leonardo first.

After taking two steps forward, Summer held her stomach with both hands. "I have a stomachache and
have to go to the restroom."

Jerome stopped and looked at her with a faint smile of disbelief.

After saying that, Summer also felt that she had said this before.

At the beginning of the year, she left Jerome at the airport and went abroad alone by playing the same
trick.

Summer also felt a little embarrassed, so she explained sincerely, "It's true this time..."

With a thought, she made up an excuse. "I have problems with my stomach. Eating indiscriminately
these past two days gave me the trots..."

Jerome nodded and said, "I'll accompany you."

How could this man be like this?

Summer sighed and went to the restroom helplessly in the company of Jerome.

After entering the ladies' room, she immediately called Leonardo.

The connection was quickly made.

"Summer."

Leonardo answered in a cold voice as always. He was used to saying her name directly, but after a
long time, Summer actually felt that he called her name in a quite intimate way.



Summer organized her thoughts and asked, "Are you going to a dinner party tonight?"

"So are you trying to track me down?" Leonardo teased her. "Don't worry, I don't have a date. Tim will
go with me."

Hearing this, Summer thought to herself that she would be miserable.

She didn't know what to say anymore.

With no reply, Leonardo asked, "What's wrong?"

"I..." Summer didn't know how to tell him that she came to the party with Jerome.

On the other end of the line, Leonardo waited patiently for her to finish her sentence.

Summer hesitated and then said, "It's good that you don't have a date."

Leonardo sounded quite satisfied with her answer. "I'm going to the party now. I'll call you later."

Summer replied, "OK."

After hanging up, Summer stood in the stall and grew extremely anxious.

Leonardo would show up at the party. If she went out, she was bound to bump into him.

After thinking for a while, Summer made up her mind and directly sat down on the toilet.

She decided not to go out, staying here until the end of the party!

She didn't believe that Jerome would come to the ladies' room to look for her!

Jerome had been waiting outside for Summer for a long time without seeing her.



Then, he called her.

Without being able to get through to her, he worried that something had happened to her.

When the dial-up connection was about to be interrupted, Summer answered the phone, "Hello."

Jerome heaved a sigh of relief and asked her, "Why don’t you come out?"

After a moment of silence, Summer's weak voice sounded. "I am not finished yet. You can go now, but I
have to stay here for longer."

Jerome didn't know what to say.

He knew that Summer did not want to attend the party with him, but he did not expect that she would
fabricate such an absurd excuse.

Jerome put his hands on his waist and said in a helpless tone, "Summer, have you forgotten the deal
we made? You accompany me to the party, and I'll tell you everything I know."

Although Summer really wanted to hear something about the Emersons from Jerome, at such a crucial
moment, she felt that the fear of irritating Leonardo conquered the desire to know about his family.

"It's no big deal. You can just keep that to yourself. All right, goodbye."

"Beep--"

She hung up on him directly. Hearing the busy signal, Jerome was stunned and stood there for a while
with a blank expression. He thought about something and prepared to leave.

At this moment, a tall and slender man walked over.



Jerome narrowed his eyes and stood still. When the man approached, he stopped him and said, "Mr.
Emerson, long time no see."

Leonardo stopped, raised his eyebrows, and said casually, "Do you really want to see me?"

Last time Jerome helped Summer escape, Leonardo warned that he would teach the Patels a lesson.
However, in the end, he left it a silver lining without bankrupting it.

Leonardo had no compassion for a man who had been coveting the woman he loved.

However, he knew very well in his heart that if the Patels crashed because of him, Summer would
definitely blame herself.

Jerome also remembered what Leonardo had done to his family. His expression became slightly cold,
but he quickly smiled again. "No, I was just waiting here for Summer to come out. I didn't expect to
come across you."

After saying this, Jerome revealed a meaningful smile.

Sure enough, Leonardo's expression changed slightly when he heard the name of Summer.

Leonardo narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you talking about?"

"Your ex-wife, Summer," Jerome said word by word, intentionally emphasizing the word "ex-wife".

Seeing that Leonardo's face had darkened, Jerome continued infuriating him. "She came with me to
the dinner party. After all, you two were husband and wife. Do you want to say hello when she comes
out later?"

Leonardo sneered with a gloomy look. After a glance at Jerome, he walked straight into the ladies'
room.



"What are you doing?" Seeing Leonardo breaking into the ladies' room, Jerome asked with a trace of
disbelief flashing across his eyes.

Now the party just began, there weren't many people in the restroom.

Leonardo got more furious at the thought of the phone call Summer had made to him.

Summer, you really annoyed me.

At the entrance of the bathroom, he started knocking on the door of the first stall and then continued
one after another.
