Chapter 498 We Could Have Been Fine

Leonardo let go of Rosie's hand and gently pushed her to Summer. He walked forward and turned on
the lights. Summer closed the door. The room, which was dim, suddenly turned bright as if under the
sun.

Leonardo approached Michael with a serious expression. There was coldness in his tone, "Long time
no see."

Summer also walked to Michael with Rosie. The child was very sensitive. As Rosie saw Michael, she
hid behind Summer in fear. Rosie didn't dare to look at him. Summer patted her head and looked at
Michael.

Summer hadn't seen him for three years. She was astonished as soon as she looked at him. There
was shock on her face. Michael had lost an arm and was sitting in a wheelchair. He was skinny and
hollow-eyed, his lips dry. His sweater was too big as if hanging on him. He looked as if being skin and
bones. If she met Michael on the street, Summer would not recognize him, as Michael's appearance
had changed too much.

He looked weak, old, and gloomy. He had lost his pride because he was no longer the ruler of a
wealthy family. He was afraid to be seen by others, like a rat hiding in a sewer.

"You!" As Michael saw Leonardo and Summer, his eyes widened, as if they were about to pop out of
the eye sockets. His voice was so rough that they felt uncomfortable.

"Get out! Who allows you to come in? Get out!"

Michael pointed at the door with his eyes wide open.

Leonardo sneered and sat down in front of Michael. He crossed his legs and said leisurely, "I came to
see you with my wife and daughter. We have just arrived. And you ask us to leave. Is this how you treat



your guests?"

Rosie was frightened by Michael's roar. She hid behind Summer and refused to move forward.

Summer patted her head and took out her mobile phone. She sent a message to Tim, asking him to
take Rosie out.

Tim was waiting at the gate. Since he was familiar with the mansion, he quickly came to the room and
took Rosie away.

After Rosie left, Summer walked to Leonardo and sat beside him.

Michael stared at them, clenching his fists tightly on the armrests.

Leonardo and Summer sat side by side in front of him, calm and composed. Summer looked good after
resting for several months. They were really an eye-catching couple.

The hatred and bitterness in Michael's heart grew like weeds. He became hysterical and shouted in his
rough voice, "Get out of here!"

"Kick them out! Anyone out there?"

No matter how Michael roared, no one came in.

Leonardo looked coldly at Michael who was on the verge of madness. He curled his lips, "You are too
impatient now. Too easy to get emotional. How did you conceal the truth about my mother's kidnap for
more than ten years?"

Summer turned to look at Leonardo. He put on a cold face with a gloomy air, which would scare people
off.

Summer could tell that Leonardo still hated Michael when he thought of her mother. He couldn't let go.



A man would live under the shadow of the absence of his mother at an early age, and he might never
let go. It was true for Leonardo as well as for her.

She had ignored Karen, but sometimes she was envious of others.

Michael looked at Leonardo with a ferocious expression. He said in a harsh voice as if he was choked
by someone, "What do you want?"

"It’s my question." Leonardo sneered and leaned forward slightly. His voice was deep, "You think you
didn't do anything wrong, don't you?"

"What did I do wrong? All I did was to protect Violet and Adams. I didn't want to harm your mother! How
could I know that the kidnappers would suddenly change their minds? It’s you! You are wrong!"

"You drove your aunt crazy and killed Adams. You will be punished!"

Michael's health had declined. He panted as if losing his breath after saying those words.

A trace of disdain flashed in Leonardo's eyes, "So you asked Vicky to take revenge on us?"

Michael's eyes widened. He was scared, "I didn't!"

He knew what Leonardo might do. He should not admit it.

"Take it easy. I won't do anything to you." A strange smile appeared on Leonardo's face.

Leonardo seldom smiled, so Michael was even more nervous now.

Michael's expression suddenly changed, "You... What are you going to do?"



The smile on Leonardo's face deepened. "You never go out in the past three years. You must want to
leave the house. I will make your dream come true."

What Leonardo said was a blow to Michael. He trembled, "I don't want to go out! I don't want to go out!"

He had been overwhelmed by grief after Violet was driven crazy and Adams died in the explosion, so
he refused to get out of the house. Another reason was that he didn't want others to see his current
condition.

He was once Michael, the ruler of the Emerson family, and had the glory and wealth that everyone
envied, but now? People would definitely laugh at him and make fun of him! He would not allow it to
happen.

To avoid people's mockery, the best way was to stay at home.

"You don't have other choices." Leonardo stood up, his voice cold and emotionless, "We could have
been fine."

Leonardo didn't explain further. They could have been fine. It would not dispel the hatred in Leonardo's
heart even if he killed Michael. If Michael stayed in the old mansion quietly, Leonardo would not do
anything to him. However, Michael didn't repent, and he even wanted to take revenge.

Since Michael would not give up, Leonardo decided to continue the game.

He knew clearly what Michael was afraid of.

As Leonardo finished speaking, he turned around and stretched out his hand towards Summer, "Let's
go."

Summer, who had been listening quietly, held his hand and stood up. Leonardo walked out with her.



Behind them, Michael roared in despair, "Leonardo! Leonardo!"

When they got out of Michael's room, Summer raised her head to look at Leonardo.

His expression was solemn. And his fierce eyes looked somber.
