Predestined Bride

Leonardo called Tim and asked him to get someone to pick Summer and Rosie up.

Summer got in the car. She held Leonardo’s hand and looked at him worriedly.

“Don’t worry. Even if we have to search high and low of the Hoover City, we will find Jessica.” Leonardo solemnly promised her.

“Okay.” Summer trusted Leonardo. She knew that he was always a man of his word, and he would do what he had promised.

After sending Summer and Rosie back home, Leonardo returned to the Golden Cauldron Club.

The ashtray in front of Carl was full and some cigarette butts even fell from it. Half of the coffee table was covered with dust.

Leonardo had given up smoking for a long time. Under Summer’s supervision, he lived an old man’s life ahead of time. Therefore, he couldn’t stand the smell of the cigarette and coughed. Then he felt much better.

Hearing Leonardo’s cough, Carl jumped up from the sofa and strode over to Leonardo, “How is it? Any news?”

He wanted to go with Leonardo to look for Jessica, but Leonardo stopped him. In the big Hoover City, it was useless to search aimlessly.

If Leonardo got any news, Carl could rush over immediately as long as he waited here.

Seeing Carl’s red eyes, Leonardo couldn’t bear to say more to disappoint him. He had to comfort Carl, “I have done my best. With all my connections, we’ll get news soon.”

After Leonardo took over the Emerson Group again, the company was turning for the better day by day. Currently, the Emerson Group was dominant in Hoover City. It was easy for its president to find someone.

“How soon?” Carl was kind of out of control, “One hour has passed. Do you know how much can happen in an hour?” his voice was hoarse.

Carl lost his temper, but Leonardo did not say anything, just listening.

Leonardo knew Carl was extremely nervous. If Carl didn’t vent his anger, he probably couldn’t stand it.

“After so many years, Jessica finally agreed to be with me. I planned to go public with our relationship at the end of the year…”

Carl kept saying and then he couldn’t go on.

As if something was blocking his throat, he felt so grieved that he couldn’t make a sound.

Although Jessica was with him, he could feel that she didn’t trust him like before.

And he felt the same. He didn’t have any sense of security.

Carl always had a feeling that Jessica would leave him.

Every day when he woke up, he thought he was in a dream. Only seeing Jessica, he could confirm that he wasn’t dreaming and everything was real, and Jessica was his girlfriend.

Carl took a few deep breaths and then he regained himself.

He picked up the lighter to light the cigarette.

Leonardo stopped him and grabbed the lighter.

Carl suddenly lost his temper. He shouted to Leonardo, “You don’t let me go out to look for her, and you even stop me from smoking? You want a fight?”

Leonardo didn’t say anything and just poured a glass of water for him.

Carl was moved for a moment. Leonardo said timely, “Summer bought me a lot of insurance. The money you will receive depends on how hard you beat.”

All the emotions dissipated in an instant. Carl even wanted to spit out the water he had drunk.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

But he had drunk it, so it was just an illusion.
