She hadn't heard this voice for too long, and Summer did not know who the person was. She turned
around and saw Karen walking towards her with a surprised expression.
"Summer, it's really you..." Karen was more surprised as she stared fixedly at Summer. Those who
didn't know the inside story may think that Karen was happy to see Summer.
But Summer knew that Karen would definitely not be happy because of seeing her. Summer looked at
Karen silently and stood in front of Rosie. She did not know what trick Karen was playing.
It had been a long time since she last saw Karen, but she looked pretty good. Although she was a little
skinny, she was very energetic.
Summer didn't know why she would pay special attention to Karen's condition, but she subconsciously
made a comparison in her heart.
Karen was enthusiastic, but Summer did not say a word. Karen did not feel embarrassed. Instead, she
continued, "What have you bought? It's almost the New Year. Will you ... return home?"
"You stopped me just to ask whether I will return home or not?" Summer looked at Karen as if she was
a clown. The mockery in her eyes was so obvious.
However, Karen smiled as if she didn't see it. "You are my daughter after all. Of course I want to know
that."
Summer didn't bother to listen to Karen's hypocritical words. Her patience had been exhausted. "If you
are still not gonna say it, I'll go."
Karen became anxious and stopped her, "Summer, stop! I..."
Summer went back and looked at Karen impatiently, "Speak it out."
Rosie, who was blocked behind Summer, curiously leaned out to look at Karen.
Karen also saw Rosie. The little girl was cute and had fair skin. Her chubby face was rosy and her eyes
were round and black. She looked somewhat familiar. However, it was the first time Karen saw this little
girl.
Summer and Leonardo had a daughter, but not many people knew it, apart from the Emersons and
some of their friends. The media had been hunting for clues, but in the end, they gave up.
Even if outsiders believed that Leonardo had a daughter, they would think that the kid's mother was
Amber. After all, three years ago, Rosie was born in a foreign country, and no media had reported the
news.
Noticing Karen's gaze on Rosie, Summer moved and blocked Rosie.
Karen raised her head with surprise, "She is..."
Summer frowned and coldness flashed through her eyes, forcing Karen to be silent. Summer had
experienced a lot in the past few years. She was both more grateful and colder to the people around
her.
Karen was a little afraid of Summer. She calmed down and asked her carefully, "Summer, have you ...
seen Vicky recently?"
Vicky? Summer had indeed not seen Vicky for a long time. When she left Country M, she was taken
away by Vicky, which led to what happened later.
After Leonardo went to Country M to save her, he locked Vicky up. After that, she went to Stanley and
didn't have any news of Vicky.
Based on Leonardo's personality, Summer felt that Vicky was very likely in danger.
Leonardo had a kind side, but most of the time, he would be ruthless, not to mention that Vicky had
crossed his bottom line.
"She is your daughter, not mine! Even you don't know where she is, how could I know?" Summer
expressionlessly looked at Karen and said with ridicule.
"But when she left, she said that she was going to look for you..." Karen's voice lowered. She was so
guilty that she didn't dare to look straight at Summer.
"Looking for me?" Summer smiled. "Do you know why she did that?"
"I..." Karen didn't have the courage to look at Summer, so she just turned her face away. She couldn't
speak for a long time.
After Adams died, Vicky put all the blame on Summer and Leonardo, and vented all the resentment
and hatred on them. How could Karen not know that? To put it bluntly, in Karen's heart, Vicky was more
important.
Even though Vicky treated Karen like dirt and only saw her as a servant, Karen always took her as her
daughter. She was closer to Vicky than to her own daughter.
Summer was injured on the island and had been in a vegetable state for three years. Karen had never
taken care of her. Karen was so dedicated to Vicky.
If Summer wasn't Karen's biological daughter, she would be deeply touched. As a stepmother, she
treated her husband's ex-wife's daughter like her own. Even if that that daughter didn't take her
seriously, she still did so. It sounded kind of touching.
Summer realized that Rosie was there, so she took a step forward and lowered her head to Karen's
ear. She whispered in a volume only she could hear, "Vicky has always been a death-defying trouble-
maker. She might have died alone somewhere. Her body is waiting for you."
Karen's expression changed drastically. She pointed at Summer and said in a trembling voice, "Do you
know where she is?"
"You're her mother, not me. How would I know?" After Summer finished speaking, she coldly glanced at
her and left with Rosie.
"Summer!" Karen was still calling her name from behind, but Summer walked even faster with larger
strides. There were many people in the supermarket, so Summer soon disappeared in the crowd with
Rosie.
Karen couldn't see Summer, so she stamped her feet anxiously on the spot. It was Summer's words
that made her believe that Summer must know something. She wouldn't give up easily.
Karen did not intend to leave just like that. She decided to wait at the exit of the supermarket. But there
were a lot of exits in the supermarket. She thought for a moment and decided it would be better to wait
at the exit to the parking lot.
Summer must have driven here.
However, she didn't know that although Summer drove here, she didn't park the car at the underground
parking lot of the supermarket because of traffic jam.
After Summer finished shopping, she did not go to the underground parking lot. Instead, she pushed
the shopping cart out to the parking lot next to the supermarket, put her purchase into the car and left
with Rosie.
