Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 163

The man who secretly took photos of Jessica did not succeed in the end, so the matter was left unsettled.

Another reason was that there were countless things like this in the entertainment industry, so it was impossible to investigate every case thoroughly.

There were many people who had conflicts of interest with Jessica both in the company she originally worked for and Tip Top now. So Jessica had a lot of enemies.

The director Jessica was looking for happened to be Laura's lover. This was definitely not a coincidence. Laura must have known that Jessica was looking for Oscar to read the script, so she made him stood Jessica up to embarrass her.

This must have been planned.

It had been so long since the incident at the bar, but Laura still seized every opportunity to pick on Jessica. She must have held a grudge in her heart.

"I don’t know what you’re talking about." Laura glared at Summer and raised her voice, "I don't know what you're talking about. Jessica offended someone and was secretly photographed. What does it have to do with me? Besides, isn't she alright now? What's your problem?"

"Don't slander me just because Director Lowe doesn't want to see you! I don't have time to argue with you. I'm going in."

Just before Laura went back to the room, she saw a figure not far away and frowned. "Can’t you hurry up? Why did it take so much time in the bathroom? Don't make Mr. Blake wait for so long."

Summer followed Laura's sight. When she saw that person clearly, she froze.

Why was Vicky here? What was she doing with Laura?

Vicky looked annoyed. She wanted to take a detour before coming back to avoid encountering Summer. She didn't expect Laura to see her.

Although Vicky was dissatisfied with Laura's attitude, she still had a smile on her face, "I'm coming."

"Hurry up. It took me a great effort to get you this opportunity. You should seize it." Laura glanced at Vicky, snorted and walked inside.

Vicky felt that Summer was still looking at her. She turned around and glared at Summer, "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing. I just wonder what Grandpa would think if he knew that you were hanging out with these people." Summer folded her arms and looked at Vicky.

It was obvious that Vicky came prepared today. Her makeup was exquisite and she was wearing a slim low-cut dress which clearly showed her deep cleavage...

Ignoring the absurd things that Vicky did in the past, she was actually a beautiful woman.

"I won't go easy on you if you tell Grandpa about this!" Vicky threatened Summer.

Summer didn't care about her threat. She was about to leave with Jessica.

Unexpectedly, Vicky said, "You'd better keep quiet. When I become a top-notch actress in the future and marry Adams, you would also enjoy the glory as a member of the Jarretts."

Jessica laughed out loud.

She laughed so hard that she couldn't stand up straight, "Top-notch actress? You?"

Summer also wanted to laugh.

Not because that Vicky wanted to become a top-notch actress, nor that Vicky wanted to marry Adams, but because of the last part.

You would also enjoy the glory as a member of the Jarretts.

The Jarretts?

When was she considered as a member of the Jarretts?

Never. Not once.

Seeing that Vicky's face was full of anger, Summer pulled Jessica and said, "Let's go."

Laura also heard their conversation. Seeing that Vicky knew Summer, she was suspicious, "Are you related to that woman?"

Vicky was angry so she answered impatiently, "No."

Laura was not easy to fool. She was good at reading people and she heard their conversation clearly. So she asked, "Is her grandfather also your grandfather? So she is your sister?"

"She was the daughter of my stepmother. My father and grandfather don't like her." Vicky's impatience was already displayed on her face.

However, Laura did not seem to mind Vicky's attitude, and kept asking about Summer.

Finally, she said, "Is she the one who married into the Emersons?"

"What do you want?" Although Vicky wasn't that sensitive, she could sense that Laura was up to something.

"Your brother-in-law is the heir of the Emersons. He is rich and powerful. If you want to enter the entertainment industry, why don't you ask him for help?" Laura smiled and a greedy light flashed through her eyes.

"He is just a cripple. What's the use of looking for his help?" Vicky said mockingly, completely ignoring Laura's words.

Laura smiled. Vicky was really a stupid woman.

The Emersons was one of the most powerful family in the Hoover City. As long as Leonardo had money and power, it didn't matter that he was an ugly and useless cripple.

If she could meet Leonardo and win his favor, then she wouldn't have to fawn on different men in the future...

...

Summer and Jessica were talking as they walked towards the private room.

Jessica asked her, "What's wrong with Vicky? She wants to enter the entertainment industry? Your grandfather would never allow her to do that."

"I don't think grandpa knows about it yet." Vicky had been well-behaved since Alexander returned. After all, Alexander was more intimidating than Lynn.

However, to her surprise, Vicky seemed to be serious about Adams. She even wanted to enter the entertainment industry and become a movie star in order to marry Adams.

"I really don't know what's on her mind...."

Before Jessica could finish her sentence, her phone rang.

After answering the phone, she turned to Summer and said, "It was a call from home. I have to go home now."

"Go ahead. I'll go back by myself later."

After Jessica left, Summer returned to the private room. She was not in the mood for afternoon tea. So she picked up her bag and took the elevator downstairs.

When the elevator door opened on the first floor, three tall men appeared in front of Summer.

"Summer?"

The first to speak was Carl.

These three men were Leonardo, Carl, and Warren.

Warren didn't want to watch Leonardo and Carl working like crazy in the company, so he pulled them out to have a drink. He didn't expect to meet Summer here.

Leonardo stood at the front. Summer looked over him and said to Carl, "Are you here for dinner?"

"Yeah, are you ... alone?" Carl looked hesitated, as if he wanted to say something. Summer knew what his subtext was.

"Yes, I came with Jessica, but something’s up, so she left before me," Summer pulled the bag strap on her shoulder and said, "Have a nice meal. I'm leaving now."
