Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 183

How could she think of a way to please him in such a short period of time?

That was not right. All she did was to him about Carl. Why did that offend him and why did she have to please him?

Just as Summer thought about it, Leonardo's voice suddenly sounded, "Time is up."

Her mouth twitching, Summer felt that Leonardo was getting weird.

Leonardo pulled her into his arms, raised her chin and kissed her.

He couldn't get enough off her lips. Half a minute later, he left her lips, looking at her misty eyes and saying seriously, "Do you understand now?"

Summer nodded in embarrassment.

He expressed his purpose so euphemistically. It turned out that he wanted to ... kiss her!

Leonardo was happy and patted her head, "Wait for me in the car."

Then he got out of the car.

Summer only had time to ask him by the window, "Where are you going?"

Leonardo only glanced at her and didn't say anything. Then he walked straight towards the Jarrett Group.

Summer pursed her lips. She seemed to be right that Leonardo indeed came for her resignation.

It was time to get off work, so there were a lot of people going in and out of the Jarrett Group.

After Leonardo's identity was exposed, many people knew him.

And those who didn't know him would also be attracted by his unique and noble temperament.

Leonardo ignored their gaze and walked to the elevator.

The receptionist was a newcomer. Seeing that Leonardo just walked in, she chased after him and said, "Sir ... Who are you looking for...?"

"I'm looking for Mr. Jarret," Leonardo turned around and said.

The receptionist was going to ask whether Leonardo had an appointment. But she was frightened by his cold eyes and said, "Mr. Jarret is in the office...."

"Thank you," Leonardo said with a poker face and then walked into the elevator.

Only when the elevator door closed did the receptionist pat her chest and heave a sigh of relief. The man's gaze was truly terrifying....

...

In the office.

Alexander had just finished dealing with the last document when he heard the sound of the door being pushed open.

He wondered who it was. The person was so rude and actually entered his office without knocking on the door.

He frowned and looked up, only to see tall Leonardo walking in and locking the door.

"Mr. Emerson?" Alexander put down the pen in his hand and stood up.

Leonardo glanced at the pile of documents in the desk and said with a faint smile, "Mr. Jarret is so hard-working."

"Mr. Emerson, what do you want? Please come to the point," Alexander said and looked straight at Leonardo.

Leonardo also stared at him. However, Alexander looked away just a few seconds later.

Leonardo's gaze was cold and threatening. He was like a lone wolf in the jungle, ruthless and decisive. He could chill others with just a look.

Alexander trembled with fear. He could not help but sit upright and became cautious.

His subtle movements didn't escape Leonardo's eyes.

"I heard of you when I was a kid. But I didn't expect that you would be a dotard when you got older."

Leonardo sat down in front of Alexander. He was 1.9 meters tall, so even if he sat down, he was still a bit taller than Alexander.

Leonardo’s height made the aura of him even more powerful and intimidating.

"Are you teasing me?" He roughly knew why Leonardo came today.

"I tease you? How funny! Aren't you ashamed of what you have done?" Leonardo sneered, "Do you think that if you refuse Summer's resignation, you can trap her in the Jarrett Group and control her?"

Alexander's expression suddenly changed and his face tightened.

Seeing this, Leonardo smiled in satisfaction, "Back then, you reached an agreement with the Emersons and then went abroad. They thought that you wouldn't come back, but now you're back. So nothing is absolute in the world."

Alexander became even angrier, "Mr. Emerson, I don't know what you're talking about. Although Summer is married to you, she is still a member of the Jarrett family. So I have the final say on her resignation!"

"Is that so?"

Leonardo smiled more triumphantly and said in a gentle but weird voice, "You helped the Emersons with my mother's case, so they were grateful to you and asked me to get engaged to Vicky. It was clearly a good thing, but why did they send you abroad?"

Leonardo's words seemed to have touched Alexander's bottom line. He pointed at the door and shouted angrily, "It was me who wanted to go abroad! What does this have to do with you? Get out of here. This is my company, and you are not welcome!"

"As long as I want, this company will be mine tomorrow."

"Don't think that Michael or others from the Emerson family can help you. They're also in trouble now," Leonardo narrowed his eyes. There was nothing but coldness in his face.

Alexander's expression changed dramatically. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't say anything as if he was frozen all of a sudden.

He had seen Leonardo in the deserted factory back then, but it was only a quick glance.

At that time, Leonardo's face was covered in stains, and his eyes were dull. He seemed to have freaked out.

Back then, Alexander thought that this child probably would have no future any more. Later, he wanted to marry his daughter into the Emerson family. The Emersons then also thought that Leonardo was not in a good condition, so they accepted the offer without further thinking.

Alexander didn't expect that fifteen years later, the child who he had thought was useless would actually sit in his office and threaten him in such a calm manner.

In his lifetime, the only person he had misjudged was that child, which was Leonardo now.

He shook his head and fell back into his chair. His voice was hoarse and old, "I know nothing. Back then, I only saw a woman outside that abandoned factory. She looked a bit like your father. She should be your father's younger sister."

Leonardo looked up, his eyes growing ice-cold, "Do I look like a fool?"

He didn't believe Alexander's words.

Michael's younger sister was called Violet. She was Adams' mother and also Leonardo's aunt.

Violet and Leonardo's mother had been good friends for decades. After his mother died, Violet had been in a black mood for several years.

Moreover, Violet was abroad when his mother had an accident.

"Mr. Emerson, at my age, I want nothing but just to protect the Jarrett Group," Alexander seemed extremely tired as he leaned back in his chair and sighed.

He didn't need to fool Leonardo.
