Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 57

Summer lifted her feet and walked in. She left the door unclosed and smiled innocently, “Mr. Green, you have been discharged from hospital. I’m going to visit you today.”

The manager of the market department was called Stone Green. He was married and had a daughter. His wife was ferocious. She had come to the company to beat him because he flirted with his female colleague.

Since then, everyone in the company knew Stone was henpecked.

She offended the department manager on her first day at work yesterday. So she, of course, had to gear up for the consequence.

When Stone saw Summer, the muscles on his face twitched. This woman looked delicate, but she was brave.

He had stayed in the company for more than ten years, so he couldn’t be bullied by a little girl like this!

A faint of malice appeared in Stone’s eyes. He coldly looked away and ignored Summer.

Summer didn’t care about that. She directly walked up to Lynn and said, “Dad, what can I do for you?”

Although she knew that Lynn and Vicky were dissatisfied with her and wanted to make trouble for her with this matter, she still pretended not to know.

With a cold face, Lynn said seriously, “Summer, if you are dissatisfied with the job, just tell me. But why do you vent your anger on Mr. Green? If this news is spread, others will think that my daughter is so domineering in the company! The image of our company will suffer!”

Summer did not interrupt him to defend herself. Instead, she listened carefully and pretended to be surprised. “It seems that the consequence will be serious.”

Vicky snorted coldly, “Since you know that, why don’t you apologize to Mr. Green?”

Summer ignored Vicky and turned to look at Lynn, saying seriously, “Dad, when it comes to the image of our company, have you handled Vicky’s affair? I saw on the Internet a few days ago that someone saw she went to the Violet Gold Club for a banquet again.”

Vicky’s face turned pale. She opened her mouth and wanted to defend herself, “Dad, I...”

Summer interrupted her and said with a smile, “Of course I know she is not that kind of person. She is unlikely to go there. I think it must be a slander from our competitors. As the saying goes, rear children without being instructed, the father should be blamed. They will think the Jarrett Group is not a good company.”

Summer said earnestly, which almost persuaded herself.

The matter about Vicky’s indecent videos and photos were suppressed by Lynn the day it came onto the list of the most searched items.

However, that matter was exposed one day and one night again. Lynn made every attempt to suppress it but failed. He could only wait for it to cool down. Then he bribed the platform to delete Vicky’s videos and photos.

He didn’t expect that Vicky would go to the Violet Gold Club again after a few days!

Summer’s words diverted Lynn’s attention. Although he wanted to crack down on Summer, Vicky’s things were more important.

Lynn said with a cold face, “You guys go out!”

Summer took the lead and walked out. Although Stone was a little unwilling, he knew that Lynn was going to deal with his family affair, so he could only go out.

He saw Summer standing outside the door with her arms crossed.

Summer was smiling. Her fair face revealed a cold and beautiful feeling. “Mr. Green, the president said that I vented my anger on you. Did you tell him about that?”

Seeing Summer like this, Stone found his heart itchy as if being hooked.

He wasn’t tall. In front of Summer, he didn’t have any advantage in height. He could only raise his chin to strengthen his aura. “You will be punished after the president finishes dealing with his family affair. Just wait. If you beg me now, I might be able to intercede for you and let the president forgive you.”

Summer smiled more deeply. Stone felt cock-a-hoop because he thought she was afraid and trying to please him.

But he had a premonition when he saw Summer raised her foot. In the next moment, he covered his crotch and screamed, “Ah!”

Summer snorted coldly and took out a napkin to wipe her shoe. “You said I vented my anger on you, and now you’ve got what you want.”

Stone’s face turned pale with pain. He pointed at her and couldn’t speak clearly, “You… I…”

Summer had lived in the slum for more than half a year. Sometimes, when she went back at night, she would encounter some hooligans. Although she was disguised as an ugly woman at that time, she would still be harassed sometimes.

Therefore, she was never afraid of being harassed.

Normally, people would choose to hide the harassment in the workplace. Similarly, Stone couldn’t tell others that he was bullied by Summer.

But she was certain that Stone would not let this go.

In the president’s office.

After Summer and Stone left, Lynn angrily said to Vicky, “What did I say before? I told you to behave yourself recently, but you still went to the Violet Gold Club! Do you regard me as your father?”

“Dad!” Vicky did not expect Summer to fight back. She said anxiously, “They are my friends. Their families have power and influence. Perhaps they can help us. If I don’t go, they might abandon me. In that case, I will miss out on many opportunities…”

“Humph! Friends? They are just a group of playboys. Do you think that your reputation is not bad enough and that I haven’t lost enough face? Your most important thing now is to keep Jerome by your side!”

Lynn had been in the business for so many years, and he was experienced. He knew the Violet Gold Club well and was more far-sighted than Vicky.

Vicky felt sad because of being scolded. But she knew that Lynn loved her, so she blamed Summer.

Although she felt that she didn’t make any mistake, , she immediately apologized to calm Lynn down, “Dad, I know that I was wrong. I will try to keep Jerome by my side.”

Lynn sighed, “Alright. Go back to your work.”

Summer returned to her cubicle. She was distracted when she read the information.

She had Leonardo’s number, but she hesitated last night and didn’t dare to call him.

It was nine o’clock in the morning here, while it should be eight o’clock in the evening in the United States. He shouldn’t have slept by now.

How about sending a message?

“This is Summer. How are you in America?”

Was that appropriate? Was it too abrupt?

After revising the message several times, Summer finally sent it. “This is Summer. Thank you for giving me the phone. I like it very much.”
