Summer drove into the underground garage. When she got off the car and entered the elevator, she
took out her mobile phone to check messages.
Then she found there was an unread text message.
She clicked it and read.
"Grandpa's funeral will be held in three days. The address is..." The text message was from Spencer.
She had received a phone call from Spencer in Leonardo's car yesterday, when Spencer told her that
Alexander was dying and asked her to come over, but Summer refused.
Looking at Spencer's message, Summer guessed that Alexander might have died in the early morning
or during the day.
She thought for a while but did not reply immediately.
She just put her phone back in the bag and came home with a gentle smile.
Three days later.
At the funeral.
Alexander used to be a celebrity in Hoover City.
If it weren't for that Leonardo had seen Violet at the kidnapping scene of Leonardo's mother back then
and was forced to leave the country, the Jarrett Group would have developed even better.
Sometimes, one had to compromise for so many things.
Alexander was shrewd, but he could do nothing when faced with the Emersons.
Back then, when he worked so hard to connect with the Emersons by marriage, he had been expecting
that they would look after the Jarrett Group for the sake of Vicky.
However, Vicky had refused the engagement and it turned out that Summer benefitted from it. But
Summer was not close to them at all and had almost severed her relationship with the Jarretts. In the
end, the Jarretts had not gained any benefits from this marriage.
For his entire life, Alexander had done everything for the Jarrett Group, but it had ended up in vain.
Tim stopped the car steadily and opened the door for Summer with umbrella in his hand. Summer then
got out of the car.
After Summer got out of the car, she opened her own umbrella.
It hadn't rained much during this period of time, but it happened to rain on the day of Alexander's
funeral.
Funerals were mostly held in rainy days. Perhaps it was the will of heaven.
Tim said, "President Summer, let's go."
Summer walked forward, followed by Tim.
There were many people at the funeral. Most were old friends of Alexander, and they came to see him
off for the last time.
Most of them would probably not have any more dealings with the Jarrett Group.
When Summer entered, she attracted the attention of many people.
"Isn't she the woman who has taken over the Emerson Group?"
"You don't know her? She's Alexander's granddaughter!"
"Oh, right. I ..."
"It is said that the youngest daughter of the Jarretts was plain and ordinary, but it seems she turns out
to be the most outstanding one now."
"Well, who would have expected that."
Several middle-aged men were discussing in low voices. Summer heard their conversation and put up
a mocking smile.
Outstanding? They thought becoming the owner of the Emerson Group as a huge success?
She had taken over the Emerson Group not because of her outstanding ability, but because Leonardo
had been crazy and insisted that she took charge of it, and she wished to get rid of it.
Leonardo, that sinister and cunning man, had been saying that she could do whatever she wanted with
the Emerson Group, but it was only because he knew she wouldn't.
After all, the Emerson Group had been developing rapidly these years because of Leonardo's hard
work.
Summer was never a willful person.
Children who had not been spoiled when growing up did not deserve to be willful. However, Leonardo
was crazy and gave the Emerson Group to her just like that.
