Chapter 348 Increase the Price Halfway

Summer and Leonardo both turned to look at Carl.

Carl sat down on the other side of the bed and said, "The situation was chaotic. Leonardo sent you to
the hospital, followed by Tim. I brought some people to chase after Adams, but we failed to catch him."

Hearing this, Summer was a little disappointed.

She propped herself up to sit up. Leonardo reached out to help her.

After the anesthetic effect passed, the pain in her wound became exceptionally obvious.

Although Leonardo was very careful in supporting her, Summer tore the wound. It was very painful.
Dense sweat appeared on her forehead, but she pretended to be very calm.

She couldn't show her pain, because it would bring more pain to Leonardo than her.

But in front of Summer, Leonardo was so careful that he noticed her pain.

He lowered his eyes and wiped the cold sweat off Summer's forehead with a towel. His face remained
dreary cold.

After Summer sat up, she said, "We have to find Adams. The child is no longer in Michael's hands, but
was taken away by Adams. Adams has lost his mind now. We can't judge his thoughts from a normal
person's thinking.... He just wants everyone to go to hell with him...."

When it came to this, Summer could no longer continue, tears rolling in her eyes.

If the child was in Michael's hands, as long as Michael wanted to control Leonardo, he would not do
anything bad to the child.

But Adams was different. He didn't want anything. He just wanted everyone to suffer with him.



He could do anything to the child, depending on his moods.

Summer's throat seemed to be stuffed with a piece of cotton. She felt particularly uncomfortable and
difficult to breathe.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly dropped to a freezing point, and no one spoke.

Leonardo's face clouded over. He turned around and poured a glass of water for Summer. He carefully
moved the glass closer to her lips and fed her the water.

After feeding Summer water, he took a towel to wipe the corner of her mouth. He said solemnly, "I have
a way to find Adams. Leave this matter to me. Take good care of yourself. Before you recover, I will
definitely bring our child back."

Hearing this, Summer looked at Leonardo in surprise.

Leonardo held her hand and said, "Trust me."

Summer's wound healed well. She was discharged from the hospital four days later.

Leaving the hospital, Summer found the car was heading towards the Emerson's old mansion.

In the past few days, she hadn't asked much about the case of Leonardo's mother. She didn't know
how to speak, nor did Leonardo mention it.

Now Leonardo was taking her back to the old mansion, he must have started to resolve this matter.

When she got out of the car, Summer saw Tim at the gate of the old mansion.

Tim stood at the door with a group of bodyguards. When he saw them approaching, he said
respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Emerson and Mrs. Emerson."



The sutures in Summer's wound hadn't been taken out yet, so she walked very slowly.

When she was about to enter the room, she finally couldn't help asking, "Is there any news about
Adams?"

Leonardo leaned over and kissed her lightly on the forehead. His voice was soft, "You rest first. I have
to handle some things. I'll talk to you later tonight."

Summer nodded, "OK."

Helping Summer lie down, Leonardo turned around and went out. He took out his phone and sent a
text message to Adams, "Do you want to know Rachel's whereabouts?"

The message was successfully sent. Leonardo put on a serious face.

Tim came up to Leonardo.

Leonardo asked, "Where are they?"

Tim knew that Leonardo was asking about Michael and Violet.

He nodded slightly, "They were sent to the basement just now."

Leonardo sneered and walked towards the basement.

The basement of the Emerson's old mansion was not dark or damp at all. Instead, it was very elegant
and was used to store some used things.

Tim stepped forward and opened the basement door for Leonardo. The bodyguards bent down and
said, "Mr. Emerson!"

Michael and Violet sat in the middle of the room, guarded by bodyguards.



During the past few days when Summer was in hospital, Leonardo had been staying in the hospital and
hadn't returned to the old mansion. Michael and Violet had been locked up.

Michael was having a smooth life in the first half of his life. He didn't think he was wrong. After being
locked up by Leonardo for so long, the discontent in his heart was overlapped into anger.

As soon as Michael saw Leonardo, he shouted, "Leonardo, no matter what, I am your biological father!
How could a son treat his father like this?"

It seemed that Leonardo hadn't heard his words. Leonardo raised his hand slightly and instructed,
"Everyone, get out."

Although Tim was a little worried, he brought all the bodyguards out of the basement.

Michael had been locked up for a few days, and his patience had been exhausted. His usual elegance
and imposing manner had disappeared. "I'm talking to you. Do you hear me?"

Leonardo sat down opposite them. He said without any emotions in his tone, as if he was just chatting,
"Tell me about what happened back then."

Leonardo's behavior scared them.

Michael knew that this was the calm before the storm. He became scared and said in an unstable
voice, "You can't blame me for what happened back then.... I just asked those people to tie Daisy up,
scare her and then send her away. I don't know those people would do that kind of thing in the end...."

Michael was defending himself with every word and sentence.

Leonardo sat in the same position as just now, without blinking his eyes. He was as quiet as a
sculpture.



"It's true, Leonardo. Believe me. How could I be so heartless? No matter what, I have been married to
Daisy for more than ten years. How could I...."

Seeing that Leonardo didn’t reacted, Michael thought Leonardo might have accepted his explanations
and wanted to continue to defend himself.

But at this moment, Leonardo chuckled softly, "You've had a clear conscience for so many years, and
now you want to defend yourself?"

"Leonardo..."

Leonardo didn't look at him, and instead looked at Violet, "It's your turn."

From the moment Violet saw Leonardo, her tears couldn't stop flowing out.

Violet covered her face and cried out in pain, "I guessed there would be such a day..."

Leonardo looked at her coldly, "Can't you talk properly?"

Violet stopped crying, wiped away her tears and said again, "At that time, we only wanted to send
Daisy away. We only wanted to kidnap her. We didn't expect that no matter how they beat you and
scolded you, you wouldn't let them go. They could only kidnap you together.... After that, those people
increased the price halfway...."

Hearing this, Leonardo stood up and roared, "Shut up!"

Violet was so frightened that she immediately fell silent.

Leonardo walked straight to Michael and fiercely knocked him to the ground with a single punch. Then,
he reached out and picked up his collar....
