"Warren, I hope you have something urgent to tell me. Otherwise, I will make you know the price for it!"
Leonardo sounded angry.
Warren didn't doubt that Leonardo would beat him up if he was right in front of him.
Warren was a little scared. Anyway, he couldn't defeat Leonardo. He didn't beat around the bush and
got to the point, "Your ex-wife just called me."
"Summer?" Leonardo paused and asked, "Why did she call you?"
He sounded different, but Warren couldn't tell why.
"She asked me about the odds of winning the case against you for your kid's custody."
"What did you answer?"
"I said there's no chance of winning it against you. She should just give up!" Warren purposefully added
the last sentence to provoke Leonardo.
He didn't know what Leonardo was up to. Leonardo would ask him for help when Leonardo had
questions about law. As for the relationship problems, Warren knew it was beyond his ability. Besides,
Leonardo wouldn't tell him.
He merely felt that what Leonardo had done was bizarre. It didn't seem like something Leonardo would
do.
For Leonardo's style, if he were determined to take custody of Rosie, he would not show any mercy, let
alone gave Summer the chance to take it into court. He had witnessed how decisive and malevolent
Leonardo was.
Hearing this, Leonardo did nothing but only asked, "What else?"
"I also reminded her that she couldn't defeat you by licit means. She could consider devious tactics, like
finding a more powerful man than you to support her...."
Although Warren wanted to be joking, he said it in a serious tone.
Leonardo snorted and smirked, then said, "I don't think such a man exists."
However, Warren remembered something else. He was a little worried and said, "I think you have
forgotten something."
"What?"
Warren suddenly became solemn and reminded, "Summer owns the legal entity of the Emerson Group!
I was the one who helped you with the formalities when you gave the company to her."
Leonardo finally remembered it. He almost forgot it because it happened long ago. If it weren't for
Warren talked with him about Summer's call, he would almost let it slip from his memory.
Warren was apprehensive about the consequence. He was clear the meaning of her possessing of
such great wealth.
Including Leonardo's personal property, real estate, and something else, all of this was really an
enormous wealth. Even Warren longed for it.
He was very worried about it, but Leonardo was much calmer. He only asked casually, "So what?"
"You...." Warren was speechless. After a while, he continued, "Are you kidding? That's all you have!"
Leonardo fell silent.
Warren thought that Leonardo realized the seriousness of this matter. After thinking, he said, "Although
the formalities have been completed, we haven't made it public. If you want to take the Emerson Group
back, I have way to help you. But it will be a little more difficult."
As soon as he finished, Leonardo said without any hesitation, "No need."
"Then you..." Warren couldn't figure out what Leonardo was thinking.
Leonardo said calmly, "If anything unexpected happens to me, please make the documents public to
prove that Summer is the real owner of the Emerson Group."
Warren had been a lawyer for nearly ten years, but he didn't have any idea about Leonardo's thought.
He was very confused.
"What nonsense! I can't believe such a ruthless and cruel man like you will be killed. You are the last
one that will meet a horrible thing. I'm afraid that I will pass away before something terrible happens to
you."
Warren did not take Leonardo's words to heart. Leonardo didn't want to continue it but said,
"Remember what I said to you today."
"I'm very curious about your purpose! You gave the Emerson Group, such a powerful corporation, to
Summer without hesitation. And now, you fight her for custody. You...."
Warren couldn't believe that Leonardo hung up, and still spoke with him in the phone, but heard the
beep sound. He looked at the screen. It was the contacts page.
Damn it! Leonardo suddenly hung up again! He always did this. Warren was really angry.
Summer lost sleep for what Warren said.
It was a sleepless night. She didn't have any doubt about what Warren said, but she couldn't give in.
Though she didn't have little chance to win the case, she knew she couldn't lose it.
She remembered what Warren said at the end of that call. "Power is not the only decisive factor".
"Power is not the only decisive factor." Summer muttered. After thinking it for a while, she suddenly
realized what Warren meant. Warren hinted that she could adopt some unconventional methods.
In other words, they might not be legal. For example, something could happen to Leonardo's lawyer in
courtroom, or happen to Leonardo...
Although Leonardo was a powerful and formidable opponent, it didn't mean he would always be in an
unassailable position. Nothing was perfect. No one could always be infallible.
Sometimes no matter how much he planned, he might fail to take something into account. It was
impossible that Summer could win under normal circumstances if the thing went smoothly. But if she
used some other means...
Summer let out a long sigh. She could only choose such devious means when that day came?
Summer clenched her fist and didn't know what she should do.
The next day, Summer contacted several law firms and asked about their suggestions. She also met
with two lawyers.
Every lawyer thought he himself was excellent, and was very confident that he could win the case.
They even boasted in front of Summer.
Obviously, Summer did not say that Leonardo was the one she fought against. She merely mentioned
that the other party was rich and powerful. After hearing this, all the lawyers hesitated and asked for
more details.
Summer didn't believe the two lawyers she met with could help her win the case. So, she did not
contact them again.
In the evening, she was going to fly to the shooting site to join the other crew. Therefore, she packed
her luggage and left for the airport.
On the way to the airport, she received a call from Eliza.
"What time is your flight?" Eliza asked her.
"Six o'clock."
There's shooting the next day. So, Summer booked a 6 p.m. flight. When she arrived, it would still be
early and she could have time to sleep.
But now, it seemed that she couldn't have a good sleep.
