After Jessica blurted out, she realized what she had said.
Jessica was a bit short-tempered. No matter how angry Carl was, he would not do anything to her.
However, Leonardo was not the same.
Leonardo did not have any pity on her.
Jessica gritted her teeth and regretted saying that without thinking twice.
The next moment she heard Leonardo's frightening and gloomy voice. "Say it again."
Of course, Jessica didn't dare to say it again.
She was afraid that Leonardo would throw her out after she said that.
Then the door of Leonardo's office was burst open.
Jessica turned around and saw Carl all sweaty.
He seemed to come in a hurry. His hair was in a mess. He was tired and out of breath.
When he saw Jessica, he strode over and pulled her behind him. He said angrily, "Leonardo, I know
you're anxious because Summer is missing. You can talk to me. But why are you looking for Jessica?"
Carl knew well about Leonardo.
After Summer left, Leonardo would explode at any time. He wouldn't be easy on anyone who provoked
him.
Jessica had a good relationship with Summer, so she thought about Summer and spoke for her. And
she was straightforward. She would definitely get Leonardo angry.
If Carl hadn't known that Leonardo asked Jessica over, Jessica would be truly screwed without him
around.
Leonardo was expressionless, staring at Carl for a while. And it scared Carl. Then Leonardo looked
down and said indifferently, "Just ask her something about Summer."
Leonardo did not seem to be very angry, so Carl turned braver. "Summer is your wife, not Jessica's
wife. Why do you ask others about her?"
Carl's words made sense.
And it shocked Leonardo.
It was true that he didn't know much about Summer.
He had asked others to investigate Summer at the beginning, so he knew about her family and that she
wanted to be a scriptwriter. But he didn't know anything else.
After a while, Leonardo said in a low voice, "You guys can go out."
His voice was not loud, nor did he sound emotional. But for no reason, no one dared to say no.
Carl immediately dragged Jessica out.
Jessica struggled, but Carl just grabbed her tighter instead of letting her go.
He whispered in Jessica's ear, "Do you want Leonardo to throw you out?"
Jessica glared at him and kicked him in the calf.
Carl's face twisted in pain, but he did not do anything to her.
After leaving the office, they both leaned against the door and let out a long sigh of relief.
After a while, Carl turned to ask Jessica, "Do you know where Summer is?"
"No," Jessica snorted, "Even if I know, I won't tell you. You men all suck."
Jessica had thought that Leonardo was quite good in the past. However, Summer and he ended up like
this.
How could Summer push Mr. Charlie? She was not an idiot.
Jessica also got mad at Carl. "Why are all of you men so opinionated? If it weren't for Leonardo
pressing on her too hard, how would she have run away?"
"What do you mean?" Carl turned to look at her with his arms crossed. "Leonardo didn't do that. The
things about the Emersons are too complicated, and they can't be fixed in a short time. But Leonardo
would keep her safe even if she stays."
Jessica replied with a fake smile. "Oh, so Summer should put everything on Leonardo for his unreliable
promise that he could keep her safe?"
Carl had nothing to say.
Jessica sneered and turned to leave.
Carl stood there and irritably clawed at his hair.
When he knew that Leonardo had called Jessica over, he was so nervous that something might
happen to Jessica.
However, Jessica was fine. Now, he was screwed.
He just wanted to have a good talk with Jessica. Now it seemed he expected too much.
In Leonardo's office.
After Carl and Jessica left, the room went quiet.
Leonardo slowly walked to the sofa and sat down. He leaned against the sofa and stared blankly
upwards, looking exhausted.
Summer was stubborn.
She could tolerate the Jarretts for so many years. So, she could also play hide-and-seek with him with
the same perseverance and patience.
If he kept looking for her, she would keep hiding.
She was probably thinking of a new escape route now.
Thinking of this, Leonardo couldn't help but smile mockingly.
He resembled Summer in this.
They were both stubborn.
During this time, their relationship reached a stalemate.
Leonardo knew Summer was unhappy, and he also felt bad.
However, many people were involved in Charlie's accident. Even Leonardo didn't dare to act recklessly,
he was afraid that if Summer knew more, she would end up like Charlie.
Once a person showed his weakness, he would become overcautious.
After Charlie's accident, Leonardo became very passive. He could no longer investigate into his
mother's accident, nor could he clear Summer's name.
Perhaps, it was good for him that Summer left.
He could stop being overcautious and care his own things.
Someone knocked on the door.
Leonardo sat up straight and recovered the indifferent complexion. "Come in."
"Mr. Emerson." It was Tim.
He walked close to Leonardo, nodded and said respectfully, "I've found Mrs. Emerson."
Tim thought that Leonardo would ask him to bring Summer back when he knew they found Summer.
However, Leonardo remained silent for a long time.
Tim tilted his head and observed Leonardo with great caution. But he only found that Leonardo looked
calm and expressionless, as if he was just in a daze.
After a while, Leonardo asked, "Where is she?"
"Sydney," Tim continued, "But she should move to another place soon. If we send someone over
now..."
Before Tim could finish his sentence, Leonardo interrupted him. "Don't disturb her."
"What?" Tim thought that he had heard it wrong.
Tim knew Leonardo well. Leonardo should be eager to fly to Sydney and bring Summer back.
However, Leonardo said, "Don't disturb her."
"Mr. Emerson, you don't want anyone to bring Mrs. Emerson back?" Tim asked again.
Leonardo said resolutely, "No."
