Summer was telling Tim what she truly felt inside. She was almost smitten by deep remorse.
When Rosie was a kid, Summer did not protect her well. And she managed to find Rosie with great
difficulty. However, she had been in the hospital for three years and left Rosie aside. Now, Summer
didn't even know Rosie was kidnapped.
No one would have known who would take Rosie away. But Summer was Rosie's mother and she
should be responsible for it.
Tim seemed to be moved, but he still insisted, "Mr. Emerson will not let you do this."
"That's why I'm asking you to let me go. Rosie is only three years old. If you were me and had a
daughter who was kidnapped, you would make the same decision as me."
Summer became very anxious.
Tim turned to look upstairs. Summer also looked in that direction. "Leonardo was knocked out. He
won't wake up for a while."
After a moment of silence, Tim finally compromised. "You'd better leave now."
Leonardo was a little paranoid. Summer was the most important person on earth to him. Summer
couldn't reason with him, and it was impossible for Leonardo to listen to her.
Fortunately, Tim understood Summer.
"Thank you." Summer turned around to go out. She suddenly thought of something and turned around
again. "Where's Vicky?"
"She's in the basement," Tim said.
Summer pursed her lips. "I want to see her."
So, Tim took her to the basement.
Before entering the basement, Tim reminded her, "Mrs. Emerson, watch the steps."
Then he opened the door for Summer and stood by the side, respectfully waiting for Summer to enter
first.
Summer paused for a moment before she understood what Tim meant.
She walked in.
It was very neat in the basement. There weren't many things in it. And Vicky was sleeping on a wooden
bed they made for her.
As Summer approached, Vicky suddenly opened her eyes.
Her gaze fixed on Summer. Then she called Summer through clenched teeth, "Summer!"
Vicky struggled to get up. However, she did not make it even after exhausting herself.
Summer narrowed her eyes. Vicky must have been drugged by Leonardo. It was the kind of medicine
that Vicky had given her when she caught Summer. It could make people lose all their strength.
"You haven't changed these years," Summer said coldly.
Vicky had never changed for so many years. She had been arrogant and selfish when she was a kid.
When she grew up, she would do anything for her own benefits. She even plotted with others to attack
a child.
No matter how many things Vicky had gone through, she just never changed.
Vicky sneered and sounded ruthless. "You too. Since you're a child, you have been a bitch!"
Summer knew Vicky was a mean and selfish woman. So, she was not affected by Vicky's words.
Before Summer married Leonardo, she had seen Vicky as her sister when she lived with the Jarretts.
However, Vicky had forgotten that Summer used to treat her well.
Summer laughed and said casually, "Alright. I'll leave soon. You can stay here and enjoy yourself. I
believe Leonardo has many ways to torture you."
Vicky had experienced that before, so her face changed immediately after hearing Summer's words.
"What are you going to do?"
"Save my daughter. I have to go now. Well, I'm curious to know what Leonardo will do to you." Summer
seemed to find it very interesting, so she laughed softly.
Then she turned around and walked to the door. Behind her came Vicky's frightened voice, "Summer,
come back!" But Summer just went out without looking back.
Tim walked Summer to the gate of the villa and gave her a car key.
Looking at the car key, Summer was stunned.
Since she was confused, Tim explained, "The cat's out of the bag. Mrs. Emerson, I know you would do
something after knowing it."
As Leonardo's special assistant, Tim was not an ordinary guy.
Tim was older than Leonardo, and he had a thorough understanding of everything. He could get to
know Leonardo well. And Summer was no exception.
Tim continued, "I will send someone to follow you secretly."
"Alright." Summer stopped talking to him and drove away.
After watching Summer's car disappear into the night, Tim returned to the villa.
The bodyguards on duty heard the car and walked to the door of the villa.
When they saw Tim, they asked, "Assistant Tim, it's so late. Is it Mr. Emerson who went out?"
"Never mind. You guys can go back." Tim walked past the bodyguards.
He went upstairs and stood in front of Leonardo's bedroom for a while before returning to his room.
When Leonardo woke up, he felt a slight pain in his neck.
His mind had gone totally blank. But then he thought of everything and immediately got out of bed.
The sun was coming up, and it was morning now.
Leonardo didn't even get changed. He quickly walked to the door and opened it while shouting,
"Where's Summer?"
Right after Leonardo opened the door, he saw Tim.
Tim bowed respectfully and greeted him, "Mr. Emerson."
Leonardo's hand was still on the doorframe. When he saw Tim at the door, he knew what happened.
Leonardo couldn't help but tighten his grip on the doorframe. His voice was hoarse because he just
woke up. "Where's Summer?"
"Mrs. Emerson left last night," Tim said honestly.
Leonardo didn't say anything. He just stared at Tim sharply, as if he wanted to chop Tim up.
Although Tim didn't think it was wrong for him to let Summer go, he knew Leonardo thought the exact
opposite.
Tim lowered his head guiltily, not daring to look back at Leonardo.
After a while, Leonardo kicked Tim, "Fuck off!"
Leonardo hit him hard, and Tim snorted in pain. But he just endured the pain and did not say anything
to defend himself.
Those excuses were just nonsense to Leonardo now.
Leonardo stopped, staring at Tim. He went back to the room and got changed. When Leonardo came
out, Tim was still at the door.
Leonardo walked up to Tim with a gloomy face, "Where is she now?"
Leonardo was a smart man. He knew Tim's habits when he dealt with these things.
Tim was cautious. He must have planned everything before letting Summer go and luring those people
to look for Summer.
