He deliberately accentuated the word 'waste of a man' deeply, with a hint of provocation. The man approached her intentionally, the piercingly cold aura of him got even thicker and stronger.
Summer moved uncomfortably, and after a moment of disbelief, she believed his words. After all, Leonardo's villa was not accessible to people outside his family or special guests like her.
"He is your cousin. Please don't talk about him like this." Presumably, Leonardo had also had difficulties in his family.
Summer felt empathy. Even if the Emersons were top-tier socially, she sympathized with Leonardo's situation. He must have had hard times in recent years.
Leonardo's brown eyes quickly flashed in surprise. He didn't expect the ugly woman to say such things.
He couldn't help looking at her again. The messy hair; the black-framed glasses; soiled, long, cotton cloths; the bangs on her forehead almost thick enough to cover her eyes. There were a few small spots on her haggard face. It was disgusting to even look at.
There was no way that this ugly woman was not his rumored fiance.
But the Emersons did not care whether the woman who married him was ugly or beautiful. As long as it was a woman who could produce an heir. They would not care even if they had to select another one.
A dark glint flashing in his eyes, Leonardo stretched out his hand and pushed Summer on the bed. There were undisguised contempt and malice in his tone. "There is no one else here. You don't need to pretend. With the way you look, you are probably still a virgin. I will satisfy you as a favor."
After he finished speaking, he reached for her directly. His delicate touch was almost addictive. Almost.
"Get off!" Summer used all her strength to slap him on the face, "Don't assume everyone is as dirty as you. You're lucky that your cousin hasn't arrived yet. Leave immediately, and I will pretend nothing happened here."
Although she tried her best to stay calm, her trembling hands betrayed her. She had imagined how ugly Leonardo would be on the way over, but she never expected to encounter such a thing as this.
Leonardo had a sullen look and exuded a bitter chill. "No woman has ever dared to slap me."
Because of the struggle, her glasses had fallen off, revealing a pair of unexpectedly clear and precise eyes. Trembling, her eyes showed their owner's tension and fear.
