Chapter 746 An Old Place

But in the end, Summer came up with nothing.

Tim had left. He would have spilled the beans if he could. This was all he wanted to share and all she
could get. In a sense, Leonardo's men were already like him in many ways.

Summer got in the car, called Trevin, and drove to their rendezvous.

Trevin had arrived before her.

He was active in the lawsuit against Leonardo, like a lawyer busting his ass off for his case. It said a lot
about how much he wanted to win this.

Honestly, it was more than a lawsuit. He wanted to beat Leonardo.

"I've drafted the indictment for you. Take a look. If there's no problem, you can submit it to the court."
Trevin said as he pushed a stack of documents in front of Summer.

Summer froze for a moment before opening and perusing them calmly.

He sized her up and looked down at the coffee without urging her.

After a long time, Summer looked up and said, "It's good to go. There's nothing wrong with it."

"Then I can submit it to the court for you?" Trevin asked.

Summer didn't reply, and he continued, "I will do it now, and Leonardo will receive a subpoena in a few
days."

Summer nodded and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "I understand."



"What? Are you regretting it?" He reclined in his chair and squinted at her with a smile, saying, "If you
want to back down, I can drop this matter now."

He reached out and tapped the file.

She looked down, and a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth. "No, I was just thinking about our
chances of winning."

"The odds are against us. This is a Hail Mary." He tilted his head and took the file.

She asked him, "Already losing your confidence?"

He slapped it and leaned forward, staring into her eyes and said, "Yes, so you need to cooperate with
me. Don't go soft."

"Don’ worry. Why would I do that?" For some reason, she felt a little guilty.

He raised his eyebrows. "I surely hope so."

Summer looked down and smiled.

After saying goodbye to Trevin, she drove to an old place.

When she left the country pregnant, she set fire to Leonardo's villa. Their love story began when she
set foot in that house.

Back then, Karen had knelt in front of her and begged her to marry into the Jarrett family instead of
Vicky. She had been disheartened and thought her life was over.

Although Leonardo had lied to her in the beginning, he had been mostly nice to her. However, she was
grateful that Leonardo treated her better than the Jarretts and even Karen, so she had forgiven his
mistakes.



When her car arrived at the foot of the mountain, she looked up from its window and vaguely saw a
white spot through the forest. She was surprised. She remembered the house had been engulfed in
flames. She had learned it from the news. After returning home, they had lived elsewhere.

She drove up the mountain road and soon saw a corner of a white house.

Did Leonardo repair it?

She slowed down and approached it. Then she laid her eyes on a brand new villa.

She opened the car door and got off. The green plants at the gate were exactly the same as before, so
did the patterns on it.

She eyed it in disbelief and walked inside. The gate wasn't locked and opened with a push.

She ambled into it and surveyed the yard. It had the exact old design down to every tile. She didn't
know why she remembered it so clearly. In retrospect, her days here with Leonardo had been much
more peaceful than what they had gone through later.

No conspiracies or nightmares then. Perhaps that was why she remembered every detail of it.

"Who are you? What are you doing in here? This is a private residence. You can't get in uninvited.
Hurry up and leave!"

Summer was walking to the front door when she heard a man shouting at her.

He sounded old.

She stopped where she was. The old man who scolded her walked out from behind a cluster of green
plants.



He was shocked to see her. "Mrs. Emerson?" His face was tinged with shock.

"Mr. ... Mr. Stock?" He looked familiar. Then she remembered this old man used to look after the villa,
and his surname should be Stock.

"Yes, it's me! What a surprise to see you here!" Brant smiled as he approached, crinkling his eyes and
face.

She said softly, "I want to look around the house."

"Mr. Emerson has rebuilt it. He only came here once. I am too old to move, so I have stayed and
looked after it for him. I didn't expect you to come back. Is Mr. Emerson with you? Where is he?" He
said as he looked behind her.

He was beyond the age to be interested in smartphones, so he missed the news about her and
Leonardo. He had been staying here like a hermit and had no idea they weren't together anymore.

"He isn't." She was having mixed feelings and didn't want to linger. "I just thought I'd stop by. I'm
leaving now. Take good care of yourself, Mr. Stock."

"Leaving so soon?" His voice came from behind, but she left without looking back.

She got in the car and drove downhill.

The car sped. It looked like she had been on the run.

She left the mountain and slowed it down after a while.

She didn't have a heart of stone, so she couldn't help but get hurt and sad.

While waiting for the green man at a crossroads, Trevin called again.



"It's all done. We are waiting for Leonardo to answer the charges. Before the court starts, we need to
gather more evidence in your favor." Trevin sounded a little excited, as if he was about to go to a
battlefield.
