Predestined Bride

Chapter 199 Use Her Against Leonardo



As Summer finished speaking, she saw that Leonardo stiffened.

Then, he asked, “Why you ask that?”

He sounded so natural that Summer didn’t feel anything unusual about it.

Summer kept eating and silently stared at Leonardo.

Leonardo remained calm with her stare. He even helped Summer pick up the dishes from time to time.

“I’ve heard that people in the show business for a long time are more sensitive to cameras and paparazzi. If someone takes pictures of them, they will discover it. And most of the pictures taken by paparazzi are not very clear.”

Summer was implying something. Leonardo was very smart and he should get it.

But he just nodded and said, “Yeah, I’ve heard it.”

“OK.”

Summer narrowed her eyes and silently had her brunch.

However, her thoughts had drifted far away.

Summer wanted to bring the topic to Adams, who was secretly photographed and became a trending topic. But Leonardo pretended not to get it and did not answer her question.

Summer thought of her guess and had a complicated feeling.

Last time, she and Adams suddenly became the trending topic. She had asked Leonardo about it, but he said that he didn’t find anything.

She guessed that Leonardo might have found out the truth, but he didn’t tell her.

She suspected that apart from the first trending topic, which was indeed an accident, the other two trending topics might have been planned by Adams!

This thought might be ridiculous. But Summer could only think of Adams when it came to the person who could make Leonardo worry and hesitate.

Moreover, when the second trending topic appeared, no one could contact Adams.

In Leonardo’s Weibo post, a large part was about Adams and Tip Top Media Company over these years.

Now Summer knew that post was not just dealing with the public relations problems. It was written for Adams on purpose.

Leonardo seemed to be giving Adams a chance.

A chance for Adams to explain everything and get reconciled with Leonardo.

Of course, it was only Summer’s guess. And it was based on the possibility that Adams had done those things.

Because Summer remained silent for a long time, Leonardo looked up at her and said, “Don’t think too much. I will take care of everything.”

Summer curled her lips and said, “Don’t think that you can handle everything on your own. You can also talk to me. What if I can help you out?”

They looked at each other.

Summer’s eyes were bright and clear. After staring at her for a few seconds, Leonardo felt that she might have read his mind, so he looked away.

Summer sighed. Leonardo still didn’t want to tell her about Adams.

He was avoiding this.

So, she must get very close to the truth.

After all, Adams was Leonardo’s brother. And they had been brothers for more than 20 years. On the contrary, she and Leonardo haven’t been together for a long time.

This thought upset Summer, but it made sense why Leonardo didn’t tell her the truth.

Although Leonardo did not say anything, Summer could feel that he was absent-minded.

Even an “outsider” like her found it hard to understand Adams’ actions, let alone Leonardo.

Although they had asked for leave and rested at home today, they did not talk much.

Summer and Adams’ trending topic disappeared soon.

People on the Internet were guessing Summer’s identity. They stopped paying attention to “XN”, the founder of Tip Top Media Company. So, the whole thing did not influence Summer much.

However, some people said that Adams had a new movie coming out, so he was taking the opportunity to hype it up.

Of course, Adams’ fans retorted them once they saw these comments.

“Adams is an award-winning actor! Does he need more hype?”

“Didn’t all his movies earn more than 100 million yuan on its first day?”

“Ignorance limits your imagination.”

Summer wasn’t too worried about these things, because Leonardo had said that he would deal with them.

However, many changes happened at the quiet days.

When Summer arrived at the company early in the morning, she heard her colleagues whispering about Adams.

“Adams has been a trending topic for so many times lately.”

“Yeah, I don’t know what’s going on. He doesn’t need the hype as a super star, nor does he need to attract attention. Who is so sick to do that?”

“Someone said on Weibo yesterday that he knew who the woman was. The one who ate with Adams.”

“Really? But Adams should be single. He has a full schedule recently.”

“Well, I don’t think so.”

Hearing this, Summer opened Weibo and found the post they were talking about.

It added a hashtag #The Mysterious Girlfriend of Adams#. And it was made over the top in this hashtag as a hot post.

“Guys, don’t make wild guesses. About the woman who had dinner with Adams, I know who she is. See you Friday night at eight o’clock.”

The blogger’s ID was some random English characters. He had hundreds of thousand followers and often exposed stars’ privacy.

So, he had some credibility.

He just wrote a few sentences in the Weibo post, but it left a big suspense in people’s heart.

Tomorrow was Friday, so many people were looking forward to it in the comments.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

However, Summer did not take this person to heart. After all, there was Leonardo behind her, so she was confident.

She refreshed the page and saw a new post from the account. “Since everyone is so curious, major spoilers ahead: graduated from a top film academy in the country; a staff in the show business; not a celebrity; working for a big company in the industry.”

To others, this was just some vague information that covered many people.

However, after Summer compared herself with the post, she felt a little panicked.

She graduated from Hoover Film Academy, which was indeed a top film academy in the country. Now she had worked in Tip Top Media, and she was a scriptwriter. Moreover, she was not a star.

That post was almost describing her.

Summer stood up, walked to the tea room and called Leonardo.

Her call was put through, but no one answered it.

Summer took a deep breath, returned to the office area, and felt uneasy.

Leonardo never called her back.

After work, Summer met Adams.

If Adams really planned the two trending topics…

Summer got furious when she thought of this possibility.

She was innocent, but Adams roped her into this and made her a trending topic. Strangers talked about her every day. In the end, Leonardo had to deal with all the mess.

Now Adams’ purpose was very clear.

He wanted to fight with Leonardo.

And he used her against Leonardo.

Adams walked up to Summer without any assistants or managers by his side.

Summer walked forward and blocked his way. “Adams, have you been busy lately?”

Adams saw Summer’s bad expression. His face changed slightly, but he still smiled and said, “It’s fine.”
