Chapter 648 Another Reason

Jessica, in a fit of sullenness, ordered an excessive amount of dishes which covered the whole table.

They talked as they ate.

When it came to real business, Carl put on a serious look.

"Summer, what do you want to know about the X Organization? How did you know it?" Observing her,
Carl enquired.

"It's said that the X Organization is underground. As long as you can afford it, you can find out
everything you want to know and buy..." she paused and emphasized, "human lives."

Carl's face changed before he showed a smile, "You know quite a lot about it."

"So, the X Organization is indeed a criminal organization." Summer sat up, pursed her lips, and
continued, "Have you seen any killers from the X Organization?"

Carl was drinking and was almost choked as he heard what Summer said.

He put down the glass and coughed. Covering his throat, he forced himself to calm down before
looking up at Summer. "Are you kidding? Usually, they don't show up at all. And they have their own
ways to contact clients. They never make deals face to face."

A flicker of interest flashed across Summer's face.

She narrowed her eyes and looked at Carl, "You know it well."

Thinking of something, Carl took a glance at Jessica, sort of subconsciously. Then, he quickly
explained, "Actually, I am not very clear about it. It's just hearsay."



Summer was still smiling. Obviously, she did not believe him. He added, "You know, I am well-
connected, and my friends are of high status. There will always be one or two of them who know it."

"I didn't say you know well about the X Organization because you have dealt with them. Why are you
so anxious to explain? It looks like you are covering something."

Summer reached to Jessica's shoulder, "Jessica, what do you think?"

Actually, Jessica was puzzled from the very beginning.

After hearing so much, she could more or less understand what kind of group the X Organization was.

Paying no attention to Carl's look, Jessica turned to Summer with a straight face, "Summer, why do you
ask about the X Organization?"

"It's just that I need to write something similar in my script, so I want to ask Carl about it." The reason
Summer gave was the same as what she had said to Carl.

However, Carl was a man in love. For him, all women were the same, except Jessica, of course.

He naturally would not doubt Summer's words.

But Jessica was different. She knew well about Summer, and knew Summer's personality.

Even though Summer disguised herself well, Jessica could still tell if she was lying.

Jessica tilted her head with her fingers around the glass, frowning, "Is that so?"

Summer fell in silence. She might not be able to hide it from Jessica.

In order to conceal her emotions, Summer picked up the glass and drank. Then, she served herself
food, pretending to be hungry.



Jessica withdrew her gaze and turned to Carl, "Continue."

"The X Organization is mysterious. No one knows who the leader is, and no one has ever seen its
member."

"Those killers are good at disguising themselves. They might be stall owners, white-collar workers, or
passers-by who have just walked past you."

Carl narrowed his eyes, looking like a member of pyramid scheme.

Jessica had the same feeling as Summer. She chuckled, "Carl, you now look like a member of pyramid
scheme, a brainwashed minion."

Carl darkened his face and then turned to be serious. "It's true."

Summer believed him.

The X Organization was so mysterious that ordinary people could only know it from hearsay.

As for whether it was so powerful, it was hard to figure it out.

And the reason why Summer came to ask Carl was that she was curious about the X Organization that
Bruce mentioned.

However, she was even more curious about it after hearing Carl's words.

Leonardo was a cautious man and he definitely knew the background of Bruce.

However, he still allowed Bruce to stay with Kate after knowing his background. And at that time, Rosie
was entrusted to Kate.

And now, Bruce was in Leonardo's villa.



There were only two possibilities for Leonardo to do so.

The first was that he trusted Bruce very much, for his ability or integrity.

The second was that Bruce was of great use to Leonardo, for which he allowed Bruce to continue to
stay in the villa.

However, if the latter was true, then what was Leonardo's purpose?

Could it be ... that he wanted to make a deal with the X Organization?

If not, then why?

Could it be that he was interested in the X Organization?

But why would Leonardo, a businessman with a great fortune, be interested in a criminal organization?

No, Leonardo had given the Emerson Group to her....

When it came to the Emerson Group, a myriad of thoughts whirled around in Summer's mind.

Why on earth did Leonardo keep Bruce with him?

Leonardo suddenly kicked her out. Did he forget that he had given the Emerson Group to her?

Or there was another reason why Leonardo drove her out!

Summer had always been too sure of Leonardo's love, so when he took the initiative to drive her away,
she was convinced that he might be tired of the marriage and didn't think too much.

She was enlightened all of a sudden.



No, she had to ask Leonardo.

She stood up abruptly and said to Jessica, "Jessica, I have something urgent to handle. Enjoy your
meal. I'll leave first."

Jessica rarely had time to eat with Summer, so how could she let her leave easily?

She grabbed Summer's wrist, pulled her back into the chair.

"Jessica?" Summer turned to her in surprise.

Jessica asked, "What's the matter? Tell me about it. Perhaps I can help you."

"Something about Leonardo." Summer was somewhat embarrassed.

"What a coincidence! I just wonder what happened between you and Leonardo." Jessica grinned. But
obviously it was a posed smile.

Not knowing how to start, Summer stated after some hesitation, "We are not together
anymore."
