Chapter 720 Taking Things From Leonardo

Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Eliza said with a surprised expression, "He doesn't know Leonardo? He is actually trying to compete

with Leonardo!"

Summer answered with a heavy tone, "No, he knows."

Earlier, when she came out of the bathroom, Amber got her in trouble, and at that time, Trevin

mentioned Leonardo.

And even if Trevin hadn't done that, Summer still felt that Trevin knew Leonardo.

"Then he is doing this on purpose so as to rob Leonardo?"

Summer did not agree with Eliza, "Why do you use the word 'rob'? Maybe he likes this brooch so much

that he wants to be its owner?"

"A man would like a brooch? Or is he meant to use it as a gift for a woman?" Eliza suddenly thought of

something and she asked Summer with her eyes wide open, "Is it possible that he is bidding for it

because of you?"

Summer smiled. She didn't answer Eliza's question. She felt that Eliza's words made sense. After all,

spending a lot on a beauty sounded like what a playboy would do. And Trevin was a typical playboy.

However, it was quite impossible for him to beat Leonardo. Leonardo would get whatever he wanted.

How could Trevin succeed in getting a thing Leonardo wanted?

After Trevin said "60 million", the entire hall fell silent. No one continued to bid.

Leonardo also remained silent at the moment, and the host was a little stunned.

At this time, a woman's voice sounded, "70 million."

Summer raised her eyes and found that it was Amber.

Trevin still had no intention of giving up. He continued, "80 million."

Some began to whisper.

This brooch was indeed valuable. But 70 million far exceeded its value.

So people lost the desire to bid. Now, they were enjoying this big show.

"This Mr. Trevin is quite arrogant." Eliza felt interested and whispered into Summer's ear.

Summer only gave her a smile.

"80 million!" The host's voice trembled. Perhaps he was too excited.

Leonardo rarely participated in such activities, and now two people were competing with him. This was

a rare scene, so it was natural for people to get excited.

Leonardo looked towards Trevin and saw Trevin smiling at him.

Leonardo was expressionless. He placed bid calmly, "Two hundred million."

"Heavens..."

"Two hundred million ... this..."

The discussion in the hall gradually grew louder.

Eliza muttered, "I was wrong. Leonardo is just a fool. He actually wants to pay so much for such a

brooch."

On the other hand, Summer was not surprised at all. She knew this was Leonardo's style.

She turned her head to look at Trevin and found that the smile on Trevin's face was gone. Trevin wore

a heavy look and he seemed to be very unhappy. There was also some anger on his face.

Summer saw Stanley whisper to him. And after that, Trevin's expression became even uglier. He

glanced at Stanley coldly.

Trevin gave Stanley that attitude? Trevin was Lester's trueborn son and Stanley was just an adopted

son. So it was understandable that Trevin and Stanley were at odds.

The host's voice sounded again.

"Mr. Emerson has offered 200 million dollars. Any more bid?"

"Calling once!"

"Calling twice!"

"200 million. Last call!"

The host hit the table with the mallet on the hand.

"Mr. Emerson, thank you for the bidding. Thank you for the contribution to the charity."

A round of applause rang out.

Eliza was somewhat disappointed, "I thought Trevin could last longer. I didn't expect that he would lose

so quickly."

Summer smiled, "In this world, there is nothing Leonardo can't get. There are only things he doesn't

want."

"Are you praising him? Or..." Eliza paused a little. She stared at Summer.

"I'm just telling the truth. I'm not exaggerating." Summer adjusted her slightly wrinkled skirt and said,

"The show is over. Let's go back."

Actually, Eliza came here just to enjoy the fun. She had no intention to buy anything. Now that the

biggest show was over, she had no reason to stay.

Summer and Eliza went out together. When they arrived at the gate, Eliza said she wanted to go to the

bathroom.

Summer stood there to wait for Eliza. During Summer's waiting, she met Leonardo and Amber.

This time, Amber did not hold Leonardo's arm, because she was holding a box with one hand and that

200-million brooch with the other.

As for Leonardo, he was still the same as usual, expressionless and indifferent.

Leonardo looked ahead and walked past Summer as if he didn't see her. As for Amber, after she

walked past Summer, she deliberately turned around to look at her, her gaze filled with flaunting and

complacency.

Summer turned her face away. She did not have many feelings. She just felt a little uncomfortable.

Eliza hurriedly came over and said, "I'm done. Let's go."

As they walked, Eliza talked about what happened at the party just now. Summer would occasionally

reply to her. But in fact, she didn't know what Eliza was talking about because she was not listening.

The next morning, Summer went to the set with the whole cast.

In the morning, they needed to shoot outside. It wasn't too hot, so the shooting went smoothly.

But in the afternoon, they needed to shoot inside.

Amber did not come to the cast in the morning. She came in the afternoon, and she was late.

Actually, she was no help to the cast. So whether she came or not didn't affect the filming at all.

And the cast preferred she didn't come. Because if she came, they had to do extra job: take care of

her.

As soon as Amber came over, cast members greeted her warmly.

"Miss Amber."

"Miss Amber, your clothes are so beautiful today, especially the brooch..."

Hearing the word 'brooch', Summer involuntarily turned her head to look over.

Today, Amber wore a white dress. Her makeup was exquisite, and she even had her hair specially

done. She looked gorgeous.

As for the brooch on her dress, it was the same 200-million brooch that Leonardo bid last night.

The filming was also just over. The director raised his head and shouted, "Take a rest."

Summer was the scriptwriter of the team. She sat not far from the director, and Eliza was also beside

her. Therefore, Summer could easily hear Eliza's sneer.

Originally, Eliza didn't like Amber. Now she hated Amber even more. Summer did not say anything. She

stood up and took a bottle of water from the side.

When she twisted the lid of the bottle, she saw that Eliza was still talking to the director, so she took

another bottle and went over.

When she got there, Eliza had just finished talking with the director. So she handed the water to Eliza.

"Thank you." Eliza was also a little thirsty. She took two big gulps.

Summer drank some water and sat down.

Shortly after, the filming resumed.

Amber was sitting not far away, holding a script in her hand. She was reading the lines on it.

The plot of this part was that a doorman came across a male corpse in an abandoned school building.

Then, the doorman called the police and the police came over.

Halfway through the shoot, Amber suddenly said, "Stop."
