Summer hadn't got much love from her family since she was little. And she was always ostracized in
school as she made herself look ugly and failed exams on purpose. Only when she met Jessica did
she find a true friend whom she had treated with utmost sincerity.
Perhaps, Jessica never knew that back then, Summer simply saved her at a whim. Nevertheless, she
had borne it in her mind for so many years.
Besides, after the explosion on the island, Summer was rescued by Stanley and remained a vegetative
state for three years. And it was Jessica who spent all her savings looking for Summer.
In a sense, Jessica was even more important to her than Leonardo.
Yet, of all the people, Amber had chosen to target Jessica! Summer's eyes turned colder, and her
hands holding the steering wheel slowly tightened. Amber asked for it!
Amber could do anything to her, but she chosen to hurt Jessica.
Summer took a deep breath and calmed down, then she slowly started the car and went home.
It was still early, just nine o'clock, when she was back.
Summer got herself a mask and a cap, then changed into a suit of humble black sportswear. Having
armed herself from head to toe, she headed out.
But just as she went out, the door to the opposite apartment also opened. Bruce was holding a black
plastic bag. It seemed that he was going downstairs to dump the garbage.
Seeing Summer's unusual outfit, Bruce was a bit surprised, "What are you doing?"
Bruce was very acute, so Summer felt that he had probably guessed what she was about to do.
But they had a tacit understanding on that. Summer still pretended and said in a muffled voice, "I've
caught a cold and wanna go for a walk."
Bruce nodded and asked no more questions.
They entered the elevator together.
When the elevator reached the first floor, Summer put her hands into the pockets of her jacket and
slowly walked out, as if she was really going for a walk.
Bruce threw the bag into the garbage can, glanced in the direction where Summer left, and then
followed up.
Summer noticed that he was following, so she turned around and asked, "Do you want to go for a walk
too?"
Bruce nodded, "Yes."
Summer frowned slightly. She felt that Bruce was doing it on purpose.
She walked around the neighborhood twice and Bruce was still following her.
Summer couldn't contain herself any longer and was about to walk out of the neighborhood.
Bruce instantly came up and said calmly, "Ms. Summer, your outfit is too eye-catching."
Summer's footsteps paused slightly.
Bruce continued, "I've never put on such an outfit to kill people."
Summer was a little helpless, "Did I say I'm going to ... kill someone?"
"You have the bloodthirst on you." Bruce said indifferently, his eyes sharp.
Summer was stunned for a moment. She was just very angry and wanted to take revenge on Amber,
but she never had the thought to kill Amber. After all, it was a society governed by law, and she was not
an outlaw like Bruce.
"Even if you don't want to kill that person, you definitely want to hurt him or her. Do you know how to do
it without leaving any traces?" Bruce actually looked quite nostalgic.
Was he missing the "good old days" as an assassin?
Bruce's tone turned firm, "Perhaps, you could really use my help."
Summer hesitated in silence. After a while, she nodded and turned around to walk out.
As soon as she left the neighborhood, Summer was about to take a taxi. But Bruce stopped her, "Keep
walking. We'll take a taxi farther from here."
Summer did as she was told. She took a taxi when they got to a busy street.
Getting on the taxi, Summer first told the driver an address, then changed it to a mall which was very
close to the original destination.
Bruce looked at her with praise in his eyes.
The address she first told the driver was Amber's home.
She didn't talk to Bruce along the way. They got off at the mall and took another taxi to the
neighborhood where Amber lived.
Coincidentally, just as the taxi arrived at the entrance of the neighborhood, Amber drove back home.
Bruce noticed Summer's gaze and turned to look out of the window, "That's her?"
"Yes." Summer nodded.
The figure looked familiar to Bruce, but he couldn't remember where they had met before.
That was when the driver asked, "OK. Are you going to get off here?"
Before Summer could utter a word, Bruce immediately answered, "No, it's the wrong place. Can we go
back to the mall, please?"
Although the driver was a little unhappy, he did not say anything else.
Getting off the taxi, Bruce said, "Tomorrow morning, I'll get you the woman's schedule this week. And
you can carry out your plan at the most convenient time."
Summer was stunned, "Her schedule this week? How are you gonna get that?"
Bruce shook his head, "Just wait for it. Trust me, you don't want to know how I'll get it."
Summer suddenly felt a little scared. Was it a good thing or a bad thing to have such a person as her
bodyguard?
Her original plan was to keep an eye on Amber for a few days and attack at the right time. Although it
was a good thing that Bruce had seen through her thoughts and offered to help her investigate Amber's
schedule, she could not accept his help for nothing.
So she asked him, "Is there anything you want me to do for you?"
Bruce said without hesitation, "No, I don't need a woman's help."
Summer was stunned by his confident yet arrogant tone. It was the same as Leonardo's.
Upon returning their neighborhood, both Summer and Bruce got back to their department, respectively.
Bruce instantly called Leonardo as he went back home.
Leonardo had always answered Bruce's call in no time, and it was no exception this time. He picked up
the phone immediately.
"What happened?" On the other end of the phone, Leonardo's voice was mixed with a trace of
nervousness, which was hard to notice.
"Your ex-wife is targeting your girlfriend, what do you say?" Bruce was normally a reserved guy, but
when he said these to Leonardo, he sounded like he was waiting for the excitement.
Leonardo only asked, "Targeting her how?"
"Who knows? She might die, or at least lose a limb or two." Bruce said so calmly as if he was just
talking about the weather with Leonardo.
Leonardo said in a low voice, "Do it for her. Don't let her do it herself."
Bruce sneered, "Are you ordering me, Leonardo Emerson?"
Leonardo only replied softly, without the slightest hint of anger, "You can choose not to do it."
However, to Bruce, the words were full of threat.
'People always start to regret and reflect when their time is running out.' So did Kate.
She was so dejected when she diagnosed with cancer. Looking back, Kate saw her errors and
suddenly realized that she was most guilty towards Leonardo. So now, Leonardo was the only reason
for her to survive. Bruce didn't want Kate dead, so he could only be under the mercy of Leonardo.
And Leonardo didn't force him, because he knew Bruce would take his order willingly.
Bruce was also clear about that. But there was nothing he could do, for he really didn't want Kate to
die.
