Kate's expression changed slightly. She knew nothing about it.
She and Amber were planning to make Leonardo believe that Amber was Rosie mother since he had forgotten everything in the past. Why not let the lie grow as it did?
With her help, Amber didn't need to take Rosie as a trouble.
"Maybe Amber was just a little careless ...
Besides, didn't you bring Rosie back with you just now? She's fine ... "
It was Amber's mistake after all. Although Kate subconsciously wanted to defend Amber, Leonardo's cold face silenced her.
Suddenly, Kate's phone rang.
"Kate, did Rosie return home? I took her out today. She got mischievous and ran away. I haven't found her yet ... " She cried out of breath,
and couldn't finish her words.
Kate looked up at Leonardo and said, "She is home."
"Really? I'll be right back." Amber's voice was filled with undisguised delight.
Kate hung up the phone and pondered for a moment before she said to Leonardo, "Talk to her yourself. Amber will be here in a minute. After all, she is Rosie's mother. She must have felt terrible with it ... "
Leonardo only looked at her expressionlessly without words.
Amber came very quickly.
She looked messed up. Her hair and clothes were drenched by the rain, and her makeup was spoiled. Kate's heart got tendered by her pale face.
After all, she and Amber had been good friends for many years. Seeing Amber like this, she ordered the servant, "Get a cup of hot tea and bring over a blanket."
"I'm fine." Amber shook her head helplessly. When she saw Leonardo, her eyes lit up and she walked straight towards him.
She reached out for Leonardo's hand who took a step back to dodge it.
"Leonardo, have you really found Rosie? It was all my fault ... I was too careless ... " Amber said, her eyes turning red again.
Her eyes were filled with tears, but she stubbornly held them from flowing down. Her sad expression seemed such sincere.
Leonardo looked at her coldly, his gaze extremely sharp.
Being stared at by his pitch-black eyes, Amber felt like she was being seen through.
She blinked her eyes to let the tears rolling down like broken beads, "Leonardo, where is Rosie? May I see her?"
Leonardo's eyes got even colder along with his voice, "Do you think you deserve it?"
Amber's expression fractured, "Leonardo, you ... won't forgive me?"
Leonardo suddenly raised his hand and waved at the bodyguard behind him.
The next moment, the bodyguard handed over a check and a pen.
Leonardo took the pen and wrote a long string of figures on the check before throwing it directly to Amber, "Rosie has nothing to do with you from now on. And stay away from the Emersons."
The check struck lightly on Amber's body, then fell to the ground.
Amber looked at the check unbelievably. She did not expect Leonardo to be so cruel. No, not just cruel.
He was clearly insulting her.
