After the reporters were sent away, Summer and Jessica went into the room. Rosie obediently sat on
the sofa and waited for Summer.
As soon as she saw Summer come in, she called out, "Mom."
"Rosie." Jessica walked over to pick Rosie up and teased her.
Summer went to pour Jessica some water, and Jessica followed behind her.
"What did you mean just now? Did someone deliberately bring the reporter here?" Jessica asked.
Summer nodded absentmindedly and handed the water to Jessica.
Jessica took a sip and put it to the side, "Who would do that? Amber is still in the detention center, so
she won't have the chance to do such a thing, right? Does someone want to make trouble for you
now?"
"Perhaps." Summer turned around and looked at Jessica, "You said you wanted to travel abroad with
us? Have you set the date yet?"
"I can travel at any time. I don't have much work in the next six months. The film I take are going to
start early next year at the earliest." When it came to traveling abroad, Jessica was also excited.
In the end, she said, "Since there are so many troubles here, we can just get away and travel abroad to
relax."
Summer and Jessica decided to travel abroad and started to prepare everything.
Actually, there was nothing to prepare. There was a matter that was not easy to deal with.
That was about suing Amber.
Summer had made up her mind to sue Amber. However, after a series of procedures, the time for the
court session was still not decided yet.
Summer had contacted her lawyer before, but the procedures took long. As a client, Summer naturally
had to keep in touch with her lawyer at any time.
As long as Summer wanted to sue Amber, Amber would definitely be sent to jail. Summer asked
Jessica to take care of Rosie, and then she went out to meet with the lawyer.
She was currently idle at home. If she needed to talk about work, she would often go out. And she
could not always bring Rosie along. She needed a babysitter as soon as possible.
After meeting the lawyer, Summer was about to drive home.
Just as she arrived at the parking lot, she was stopped by a middle-aged man. The middle-aged man
looked very strict in a business suit.
"Ms. Summer, my boss wants to have a cup of tea with you." His tone was very polite, but there was an
inexplicable arrogance in his eyes.
Summer could guess who sent him here. She raised her eyebrows, "What if I don't want to have tea
today?"
The middle-aged man said calmly, "You will want to have tea."
He clearly meant that Summer had to go with him whether she wanted or not.
Summer's expression turned serious as she said calmly, "Please lead the way."
Summer was taken to a teahouse that looked very low-key and simple. It didn't look eye-catching
outside, as the signboard and the door were small.
When she entered, she discovered that it was a different world inside. The teahouse was very large
inside. It was not decorated in a retro style like other teahouses. The furnishings and decorations in this
teahouse were very exquisite. It looked a little primitive.
The middle-aged man brought Summer to the door of a private room.
"Sir, Ms. Summer is here."
"Bring her in." A man's calm voice sounded from inside. He seemed older than the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man pushed open the door and stood to the side, "Ms. Summer, please come in."
After Summer entered the room, the middle-aged man closed the door outside.
The private room in the teahouse was small and quiet. At the tea table sat a man in his fifties with a
kind face.
He was an old man, but he looked very energetic.
He smiled gently at Summer. He raised his hand and motioned for Summer to sit down.
Summer sat down opposite him.
"Thank you for coming here, Ms. Summer. Please have some tea." The old man poured her a cup of
tea.
Summer held the teacup with both hands and thanked him politely. She took a sip before putting it on
the table.
"Ms. Summer, what do you think of the tea?" The old man asked her.
Summer smiled and said, "I don't usually have tea, and I don't know how to taste tea."
The old man also smiled. He said with a calm face, "It doesn't matter. Just have more."
Summer was not obedient to him. She said coldly, "I don't like tea."
The old man narrowed his eyes and stared at Summer for a long time before saying, "Ms. Summer,
you're different from what I heard."
Summer replied, "You are different from what I imagined, Mr. Thompson."
Yes, the man was Septimus Thompson.
He was Amber's father.
It was said that he was powerful, and countless people had to show him respect.
When Summer hired a lawyer to sue Amber, the lawyer had told her something about Septimus. She
only knew about Septimus’ official position and his age. But she didn't know anything else.
Septimus was surprised by what summer said. He laughed, "Since you know my identity, you probably
know why I invite you here today, right?"
"If you don't explain it clearly, how would I know?" Summer looked down and casually swirled the tea in
her cup. She pretended not to understand what Septimus meant.
Septimus was looking for her because of Amber. Since Septimus took the initiative to talk to her, he
had to humble himself to ask for her help.
If Summer revealed Septimus’ purpose, she would cede control of the conversation.
On the other hand, Summer was biased against Septimus, because he was Amber's father.
Everything Amber had done was disgusting. Luckily, Summer hadn't sensed something strange in the
restaurant that day. Otherwise, something bad may happen to her as well as Rosie.
Thinking of this, Summer was unable to be nice to Septimus. She looked coldly at Septimus and waited
for him to speak.
Septimus noticed Summer's sullen face and smiled, "Young people can hardly retain their composure."
"Amber can retain her composure. Three years ago, she joined Kate to deceive Leonardo. And now,
because of her personal enmity, she got my friend’s leg broken. She even tried to kill me with a saber
in public."
After Summer finished speaking with a mocking expression, she noticed Septimus’ face went ugly
green.
Ever since she came in, Septimus had been striking a superior pose. Relying on his high status and
seniority, he even tried to teach her a lesson!
If he came to Summer as Amber's father and wanted to reconcile with her, she might still have the
heart to listen to his thoughts.
But now, Summer didn't even want to sit any longer, let alone listen to him.
"I know you're busy with business, Mr. Thompson. And I have my own work to do. Goodbye." After
Summer finished speaking, she picked up the tea in front of her and drank it. And then she was about
to get up and leave.
