Chapter 821 Right of Succession

Summer was ordering a meal. She just took a look at Jessica and ordered the food on the phone.

After hanging up the phone, she asked Jessica, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Jessica held the phone with a strange expression. She turned to look at Rosie.

Rosie was about to fall asleep on the sofa, as she could hardly keep her eyes open.

Summer noticed Jessica's strange behavior and walked over. Jessica's expression was somewhat
serious.

After a moment's hesitation, Jessica handed her phone to Summer and said, "See it yourself."

Summer took the phone over and saw the top post of the official's Twitter account of a media.

"There was a rear-end collision in the suburbs of Hoover City this morning. Four cars rushed down the
cliff. Upon investigation, it was discovered that one of the cars was owned by Leonardo, the president
of the Emerson Group. According to the relevant staff of the Emerson Group, Leonardo has been
missing for twelve hours..."

Summer was shocked and turned to look at Jessica. Jessica did not say anything.

Summer took some time before she finally understood what had happened. She was in a panic.

Jessica was a little worried to see Summer's look. She whispered, "It just pop out. I'll call my friends at
home to confirm it...."

Jessica picked up the phone, got up and walked to the balcony outside. She directly called Carl’s
number.

About this kind of matter, Carl might tell them something close to the truth.



As usual, Carl quickly picked up the phone.

"I saw the news. Is it true?"

They had tacit understanding, so Carl knew what she was talking about even though she didn't say it
clearly.

Carl was tensed and said in an anxious voice, "I just went to find Tim, and he couldn't contact Leonardo
for more than ten hours. Leonardo is not in the company or at home..."

Jessica's face turned pale. "Do you mean something really happened to Leonardo?"

Carl sighed, "Tim has been worked together with Leonardo for so many years. Apart from three years
ago, Tim has never been unable to contact Leonardo for such a long time."

"I see..." Just as Jessica was about to hang up, Carl anxiously asked, "Are you planning to return home
soon?"

"Yes, we bought tomorrow night's ticket." Jessica did not have the mood to mess around with Carl now.

Carl said, "I'll go pick you up."

Jessica thought for a moment and said, "OK."

After saying that, she hung up the phone. Jessica turned around and walked inside, thinking about how
to tell Summer about this.

Although Summer had broken up with Leonardo, he was her beloved man as well as Rosie's biological
father.... It was normal if Summer felt sad to learn the news.

When Jessica entered the room, she found Summer holding her phone and sat on the sofa in a daze.
Summer seemed to be depressed and was thinking something.



Jessica walked over and whispered her name, "Summer?"

Summer looked down and said in a hoarse voice, "Just now, Eliza sent me a message. One of her
friends is a reporter. The reporter took photos of the scene. The car that fell off the cliff indeed belongs
to Leonardo."

Jessica sat down beside Summer. She thought that she didn't need to say anything now.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. It was the waiter delivering the meal.

Jessica immediately got up and opened the door.

The dining car was pushed in. The dinner was very sumptuous.

Summer looked distracted. Jessica patted Summer on the shoulder and went to wake Rosie up.

"Rosie, get up and have dinner."

Rosie seldom cried. Even if she was awakened from her deep sleep, she wouldn't lose her temper.

Rosie was woken up. She yawned, rubbed her eyes, and softly repeated, "Have dinner."

"Yes." Jessica brought Rosie to the dining table.

The three of them sat down to eat together.

Although Summer was shocked and panicked when she heard the news of Leonardo's accident, she
quickly calmed down in front of Rosie and ate as if nothing had happened.

On the day of their return, news of Leonardo's disappearance spread throughout the entire Hoover City.



Forty-eight hours had passed since the rear-end collision, and Leonardo had been missing for 48
hours.

Apart from discussing about Leonardo's car accident online, there were also people discussing about
the Emerson Group.

Leonardo was in charge of such a large Emerson Group. Once he disappeared, no one managed the
Emerson Group anymore.

Now, someone needed to take charge of the group.

On the way home from the airport, Summer put Rosie to sleep.

When they got home, she let Rosie to continue sleeping. She read the news online, and then called
Tim.

"Hello, Ms. Summer," Tim quickly answered the phone.

Summer said politely, "Hi, Assistant Tim. I'm calling you to ask about Leonardo."

"Even if you don't call me, I will come to find you. I wonder when you will be available. If it's convenient,
I want to come to your place to talk to you."

After saying that, Tim seemed to be worried that Summer would not agree. He added, "I have
something very important to tell you."

Summer frowned slightly, "Is it related to Leonardo?"

Tim said, "Yes."

Summer thought for a moment and said, "Then ... you can come tomorrow."



However, Tim said, "If it's convenient, I'd like to come over this afternoon."

Summer had just come back from the airport. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon now.

She stayed out for half a month, and the house need to be cleaned up. Summer planned to clean up
the house and have a rest today, so she would like to make the appointment tomorrow.

But Tim wanted to come over today. It seemed that it was really a very important matter.

"Ms. Summer?" Tim said after Summer remained silent for a long time.

Tim was especially impatient today. Perhaps he was anxious since something happened to Leonardo.

Summer replied, "Alright."

Summer stayed on the plane for more than a dozen hours. She thought about a lot of things and had
mixed feelings. She thought about the past as well as Leonardo's car accident.

But in the end, she didn't want to believe that something really happened to Leonardo. She did not
believe that such an accident would happen to Leonardo.

In her heart, Leonardo was such a powerful and strong person. How would something happen to him
so easily?

When Tim arrived, it was three o'clock in the afternoon.

There was a knock on the door, and Summer guessed that it was Tim.

"Rosie, I have to meet a guest. Can you go back to your room for a while?" Summer put Rosie to her
room before opening the door.



Tim was indeed standing outside the door. However, Tim didn't come alone, and beside him stood
Warren.

Warren was Leonardo’s lawyer. He came to Summer's place with Tim at this time. That reminded
Summer of something that she had ignored before.

For example, Rosie's right of succession.

She and Leonardo had already divorced, and the Emerson Group had nothing to do with her. But Rosie
was Leonardo's daughter, and she had the right to inherit his legacy.
