Suddenly, Summer thought of something.
Adams did the DNA test and then began to set himself against Leonardo.
It was easy to guess about the other person of the DNA test. Actually, Summer had a candidate in her mind.
However, she thought that it was unreasonable.
Seeing Summer's expression change, Jerome said, "I told you it wasn't hard to guess. You already have the answer, don't you?"
Summer muttered, "How come?"
Jerome looked at her and kept silent.
Summer thought of something and asked him, "How did you get this DNA test report?"
"There are always ways. If you don't want people to know, don't do it." As Jerome said so, his expression went cold.
Summer remembered that Leonardo had told her about Jerome's background.
It was impossible for anyone to choose their own family.
Summer thought of Adams.
Adams had a good relationship with Leonardo. But what if Adams knew that he and Leonardo were real brothers? How would he face Leonardo?
That was right. Summer believed the other person of the DNA test report was Michael.
As long as there was a result, there would be traces of the cause.
When Michael had returned to the old mansion during the New Year holiday, he said that he wanted Adams to work for the Emerson Group, and that he wanted Leonardo and Adams to take care of each other. And even before that, when the negative news about Adams had spread online, Michael had talked to Leonardo.
Back then, Summer had vaguely felt that Michael had been more concerned about Adams than Leonardo.
If Adams had been Michael's illegitimate son, then everything would make sense.
The more Summer thought about it, the more she was sure about her guess.
"It's getting late. Time for dinner, your treat?" Jerome's voice interrupted Summer's thoughts.
Summer got out of the car and said, "Alright, my treat. I'll drive my own car."
Jerome stopped her and said, "Can't we go to your place?"
Knowing that Jerome might be interested in her, surely Summer wouldn't take him home for dinner. Summer used silence as refusal.
Jerome smiled self-deprecatingly, "My bad. I've been wrong at every step."
Summer did not understand.
In order to show her sincerity, Summer took him to a very high-end restaurant.
"I'm flattered," Jerome teased her.
Summer smiled, "Then don't eat."
When ordering, Summer felt that Jerome had been looking at her.
She felt uncomfortable and ordered quickly. Then she took out her phone.
"Did Leonardo tell you about me?"
Summer turned to look at him.
"That's right. My mom cheated on my dad and gave birth to me. I don't know who my biological father is. My existence is just a shame to cover up the fact that my foster father is impotent."
