Summer walked out of Vicky's room and planned to call Leonardo as she walked downstairs.
However, before she could get through, she saw Adams walking towards the hall at the corner of the
stairs.
She subconsciously cut off the phone call and fixed her gaze on Adams.
Adams was dressed in a well-pasted grey suit. He looked a little thin, with a gentle expression on his
face. The curves of his lips seemed to have been carefully designed. He was like a person walking out
of a movie poster, elegant and exclusive.
If all of this hadn't happened, Summer would still be his fan.
Probably because Summer's gaze was too obvious, Adams noticed her.
The moment their eyes met, the gentle expression on Adams' face seemed to be cracking.
His smile stiffened, but in just a few seconds, he returned to normal.
Alexander was still in the hall. Adams looked away and walked towards Alexander with a gentle
attitude, "Mr. Jarrett."
Alexander smiled and said, "Mr. Wilson, please take a seat."
When Summer went downstairs, Alexander and Adams were chatting on the sofa.
Summer resisted the impulse to rush over and question him with great effort.
Karen came out of somewhere and pulled Summer into a room.
She looked at the door for a while before closing it and pulling Summer into the room, "What's going
on? Why is your sister's name on the marriage certificate?"
Summer looked at Karen in surprise.
Would she, the mother, finally care about her?
However, the next second, Karen ruined her fantasy.
"If you had given back the position as the Young Mistress of the Emersons to Vicky, all of this wouldn't
happen today. But you are so greedy. Now Vicky was grounded. How pitiful...."
Karen chatted on and on for a long time before finally saying worriedly, "I wonder if this matter will
affect the company...."
Summer couldn't help but sneer. Her voice was exceptionally cold, "Karen, what's wrong with you? If
you are insane, go to the psychiatric department of the hospital. Don't push my limits here. I've had
enough."
The design of the Jarrett villa was not bad. Almost every room was brightly lit by the sunshine, with
windows towards both north and south.
It was so bright that Summer's expression was more than clear.
Karen clearly saw the boredom and tiredness, as well as calmness after disappointment on Summer's
face.
She couldn't believe that Summer would say something like that, "Summer? What's wrong with you?"
In her memories, Summer had always been obedient, and she would agree to do whatever Karen said.
However, what Summer said just now made her panic.
"How can you talk to mom like this?" Karen frowned. She thought that she had heard it wrong just now.
She reached out for Summer's arm, "I know that you are in a bad mood because of the recent incident,
but it was indeed your fault...."
"How did I talk to you?" Summer quietly took two steps back and avoided Karen's grasp. "Vicky called
you a dog of the Jarretts. Aren't you still pleasing her? I'm just telling the truth, and can't you stand it
anymore?"
Karen's expression changed slightly. "Vicky is young and not mature. It's normal for her to lose her
temper occasionally."
Summer said coldly, "I'm younger than her."
Karen was out of words for a moment. Summer had always listened to her. She was already unhappy
when Summer suddenly spoke to her like that. At this moment, her face turned pale. She said sternly,
"Why are you comparing with her? I tried so hard to please them just in order to get us a firm foothold
in the Jarretts."
Summer corrected her without any expression, "It's for not us. It's for yourself."
Karen was still trying to say something. Summer just interrupted her, "Don't tell me any more nonsense
about mother and daughter. I don't want to hear it anymore, nor do I need to excuse Vicky. Remember,
it was you who knelt down and begged me to marry into the Emersons in place of her."
Summer just threw the handle after the blade.
Leonardo gave Adams the chances again and again, even at the price of risking her, but in the end,
she became a home-wrecker for that.
Was she different from Leonardo?
She gave Karen the chances again and again, but in the end, she received more and deeper injuries
from Karen.
Humans were innately evil in some ways. Even if you tried to correct them, it was still in vain.
This was what happened between her and Karen.
It was probably the same between Leonardo and Adams.
The difference was that Karen didn't hurt anyone except her, since she was the one to give Karen the
chances.
Adams, however, pointed the finger at her.
In the match between Adams and Leonardo, she became the victim.
Summer took a deep breath and said, "Since the day I agreed to marry into the Emersons, the mother-
daughter relationship between us has been over. Afterwards, you and Vicky planned the kidnapping. I
handed over the black card to save you without any hesitation because I wanted to give you the last
chance."
"You probably don't know what Vicky wanted those two kidnappers to do to me after you left. They
wanted to..." Summer turned around, her cat-like eyes flashing with a strange light, "rape me first and
then kill me."
Karen's pupils contracted abruptly in an instant, and she trembled violently.
Summer smiled with satisfaction and slowly walked out.
Karen watched Summer walk to the door, farther and farther away from her. A sense of panic arose in
her heart.
She subconsciously took two steps forward and shouted, "Summer!"
Summer didn't seem to hear her and went straight out.
The door was shut and the room was quiet.
Karen stood in the middle of the room with a long face.
Was she really wrong?
But, what went wrong?
Weren't all stepmothers supposed to treat their step-sons and step-daughters better like her?
Summer was her biological daughter. No matter how she treated Summer, this fact couldn't be
changed.
Yeah, that was it.
Summer said those words today because she was muddled by what had happened in the past two
days.
No matter what, she was Summer's biological mother.
It was impossible for Summer to deny it.
With this thought, Karen's expression returned to normal.
In the past, Summer had listened to her for so many years, but now, she was just a little angry. She
would be fine soon, just like before.
