Leonardo thrust the cup into Summer's hand and said, "They don't need to confirm whether you heard their secrets or not. As long as they feel that someone is threatening them, they will do anything."
Summer's hands were very cold.
Leonardo held her hand in his. "Are you afraid?"
Summer did not answer his question. Suddenly, she choked up and asked, "Will something bad happened to Rosie?"
Michael and the others were so unscrupulous that Summer did not expect them to have pity on a baby.
Leonardo resolutely said to her, "No, they want me to work for the Emerson Group, so they won't hurt Rosie." Summer's expression turned slightly better. She lowered her head and Leonardo did not know what she was thinking.
Leonardo said nothing and silently held her hand.
After a while, Summer said, "I don't understand what they want to hide from us.
They have tried so hard to hide it!"
Leonardo asked, "Before Grandpa got into the accident, he asked you to tell me to find him. Do you remember that?"
Summer nodded, "Yes."
"Grandpa said he would tell me everything I wanted to know as long as I spent the Spring Festival peacefully in the old house." Leonardo's eyes became exceptionally sharp. "Including the truth of the kidnapping case back then."
Leonardo had never told Summer about this
matter. It was mainly because he didn't want Summer to know too much about the Emerson family, or it would be very disadvantageous to her.
Summer thought quickly.
"So, does your father and the others try to cover up the truth of the case and want to kill everyone who knows it?"
Summer paused and frowned. She continued, "They thought I overheard what they said. And Grandpa wanted to tell you the truth. So they want to kill me and Grandpa."
Leonardo replied in silence.
Silence meant affirmative.
After a long while, Summer said, "On New Year's Eve, I saw your aunt and your father entering the room together. If they want to hide the truth of the kidnapping case back then, does it mean that they were accomplices and your aunt participated in the case back then?"
Leonardo seemed to be a little tired. He reached out and rubbed between his eyes. He leaned against the sofa with his eyes closed. And then he said in a low and cold voice, "Your grandpa also said that he saw my aunt at the crime scene."
Summer pursed her lips and asked, "How much did you hide from me?"
But she also knew that this was not the right time to bother about it.
"My grandpa saw your aunt, so your father sent him abroad for 'retirement'?" That made sense.
Summer suggested, "Well, let's go to find my grandpa and ask him about it."
However, Leonardo rejected her suggestion, "No need."
"But..." Summer wanted to say something more, but Leonardo interrupted her, "It's too late. It's time to go to bed."
Summer could tell that Leonardo didn't want to talk about this matter anymore, so she didn't say anything anymore.
After all, Leonardo was close to Violet in the past. Violet was also Leonardo's mother's best friend. If the kidnapping case back then really was related to Violet, then...
But why would they do that to Leonardo and his mother?
