His Ugly Bride novel Chapter 257

Summer knew the Jarretts too well.

They put their interests first and only wanted to get benefits from her, exploiting her as much as they could.

Newspapers and online media published news, saying that she had ruthlessly attacked Charlie who was still unconscious.

Who was Charlie?

A business mogul and the head of the Emersons. He had great influence and rich financial resources.

If Charlie lost his life, Summer couldn't make up for the losses even if she ended her own life.

The Jarretts came here to ask her whether the news was true or not. If it was true, they would cut off ties with her.

Summer had been used by the Jarretts for too many times. She knew their intentions very well.

Her assumption turned out to be correct.

That night, Lynn announced he would cut off ties with Summer.

The announcement made headlines.

Summer read the news several times, kept a screenshot and instructed a bodyguard to buy newspapers.

Jessica called her.

"Is Lynn really your father? Hasn't he gone too far? You didn't push Charlie. He doesn't know the truth. Has he cut off ties with you in a hurry for fear of being implicated? It's outrageous..."

When Summer picked things up, she heard Jessica cursing Lynn indignantly.

When Jessica finished, Summer said calmly, "No need to be mad at him. Aren't they always like this?"

Lynn had never regarded her as his daughter.

He made the announcement because he wanted the Emersons to know his position.

Summer started to relate to Lynn now.

She smiled mockingly. "I'm serious. You don't have to be angry with him. It's not the first time. Now he announced that I'm no longer her daughter, I'll have less trouble. This is a good thing."

Jessica remained silent for a moment. Summer didn't know what she was thinking about

Jessica asked her after a short pause, "Have you talked to Mr. Emerson? What exactly does he think?"

"I don't know." Summer was a bit upset when Jessica mentioned Leonardo. "You don't know? What exactly is he doing? If the matter drags on, you may end up in jail!" Jessica was even more anxious than her.

She was indignant.

Although Summer had been distressed these days because of Leonardo's attitude, she did not think he could really send her to prison.

She was very levelheaded and firmly believed that he was hiding something from her. He didn't suspect her.

Summer could only console Jessica. "It's fine. He won't let me go to prison."

She also told Jessica she had left the old mansion. Jessica said she would visit her the next day.

Just as she hung up, Summer heard car engine noises coming from downstairs.

Leonardo returned. Summer put on her clothes and walked out of the bedroom. She walked through the corridor to the stairs and looked down at the living room.

Leonardo came in and Ava welcomed him.

Ava asked, "Have you had meals? I cooked some dishes. Do you want to eat now?"

Leonardo waved his hand and walked upstairs.

As if he felt Summer's gaze, Leonardo looked up at her.

Then his footsteps quickened. He ran upstairs.

Leonardo stood in front of her and looked down at her. He was sizing her up.
