Leonardo thrust the cup into Summer's hand and said, "They don't need to confirm whether you heard
their secrets or not. As long as they feel that someone is threatening them, they will do anything."
Summer's hands were very cold.
Leonardo held her hand in his. "Are you afraid?"
Summer did not answer his question. Suddenly, she choked up and asked, "Will something bad
happened to Rosie?"
Michael and the others were so unscrupulous that Summer did not expect them to have pity on a baby.
Leonardo resolutely said to her, "No, they want me to work for the Emerson Group, so they won't hurt
Rosie."
Summer's expression turned slightly better. She lowered her head and Leonardo did not know what
she was thinking.
Leonardo said nothing and silently held her hand.
After a while, Summer said, "I don't understand what they want to hide from us. They have tried so
hard to hide it!"
Leonardo asked, "Before Grandpa got into the accident, he asked you to tell me to find him. Do you
remember that?"
Summer nodded, "Yes."
"Grandpa said he would tell me everything I wanted to know as long as I spent the Spring Festival
peacefully in the old house." Leonardo's eyes became exceptionally sharp. "Including the truth of the
kidnapping case back then."
Leonardo had never told Summer about this matter.
It was mainly because he didn't want Summer to know too much about the Emerson family, or it would
be very disadvantageous to her.
Summer thought quickly.
"So, does your father and the others try to cover up the truth of the case and want to kill everyone who
knows it?"
Summer paused and frowned. She continued, "They thought I overheard what they said. And Grandpa
wanted to tell you the truth. So they want to kill me and Grandpa."
Leonardo replied in silence.
Silence meant affirmative.
After a long while, Summer said, "On New Year's Eve, I saw your aunt and your father entering the
room together. If they want to hide the truth of the kidnapping case back then, does it mean that they
were accomplices and your aunt participated in the case back then?"
Leonardo seemed to be a little tired. He reached out and rubbed between his eyes. He leaned against
the sofa with his eyes closed. And then he said in a low and cold voice, "Your grandpa also said that he
saw my aunt at the crime scene."
Summer pursed her lips and asked, "How much did you hide from me?"
But she also knew that this was not the right time to bother about it.
"My grandpa saw your aunt, so your father sent him abroad for 'retirement'?" That made sense.
Summer suggested, "Well, let's go to find my grandpa and ask him about it."
However, Leonardo rejected her suggestion, "No need."
"But..."
Summer wanted to say something more, but Leonardo interrupted her, "It's too late. It's time to go to
bed."
Summer could tell that Leonardo didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, so she didn't say
anything anymore.
After all, Leonardo was close to Violet in the past. Violet was also Leonardo's mother's best friend. If
the kidnapping case back then really was related to Violet, then...
But why would they do that to Leonardo and his mother?
To Leonardo's mother, one was her husband and the other was her best friend.
Would Michael and Violet really join forces to harm Leonardo's mother?
Leonardo stood up. Seeing that Summer was still sitting on the sofa without moving, he reached out
and picked her up. His movements were not gentle at all.
Summer cried out in alarm. Leonardo put his hand on her lips and signaled her not to speak.
His expression was unprecedentedly solemn and serious. "Summer, you can't interfere in this matter
anymore. You can't go to your grandfather, nor can you inquire about any information. And you
definitely can't go to Violet or Michael."
Of course, Summer would not agree.
However, Leonardo's expression was too frightening. Summer was silent for a long time before
speaking.
"You're unreasonable."
Leonardo continued in a solemn voice, "I will reason with you right now. As long as you are fine, I will
be fine. If anything bad happens to you, it will be a wrench for me."
There wasn't any particular emotion fluctuation in his tone, but every word he said was clearly
transmitted into her ears, hitting her eardrums. She was unable to react for a long time.
Seeing that she hadn't reacted for a long time, Leonardo raised his eyebrows and asked, "Did you hear
me?"
Summer was a little confused. She asked tentatively, "I heard it clearly, but I don't understand what it
meant. Can you say it again?"
Leonardo narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Do you still want to listen it again?"
Summer nodded.
Leonardo smiled. Summer thought that he would say it again, so she was going to listening it carefully.
However, in the next moment, Leonardo picked her up and walked towards the bathroom.
Summer argued with him in his arms, "Didn't you say you would tell me again?"
"I didn't say that." Leonardo refuted indifferently.
Summer unhappily punched on his chest. "Then why did you ask me if I want to listen it again?"
"I'm just asking."
Summer hadn't woken up the next morning when Leonardo went to the company, because she had
chatted with Leonardo for too long during the night
By the time she woke up, it was late in the morning.
She leaned against the head of the bed and was in a daze for a while.
The secret that Michael and Violet had been trying to hide was the truth about the kidnapping of
Leonardo and his mother.
Summer thought for a while, and suddenly a thought hit her. What Leonardo wanted to investigate now
should not be just how they planned the kidnapping case. He wanted to investigate the reason they
planned the kidnapping case and the reason they attacked him and his mother.
They might be hiding more than the truth of the kidnapping. They were hiding the reason they
conspired to plot the kidnapping.
When Summer thought of this, she immediately took out her phone and called Leonardo.
Leonardo answered the phone quickly, "You're awake."
Summer said anxiously, "Leonardo, I just thought about it again. I think it's more important now to find
out the reason they planned the kidnapping. They were the people closest to you and your mother.
Why did they suddenly become so ruthless to you? They must be trying to hide some secret. I suspect
that they attacked my grandpa for the same reason as they attacked you and your mother!"
Leonardo remained silent for a long time.
Summer said, "Leonardo? Are you listening to me?"
"I'm listening." Leonardo's voice became even solemn.
He was not an emotional person, but anyone who understood him could tell from his tone that his
emotion was changing.
