Summer walked out and went to the bus stop.
Many people were waiting for buses.
Suddenly, a black car stopped in front of her.
Lynn rolled down the window and said, "Get
Summer hesitated for a moment. Then she went in.
A driver and Lynn were in the car. After Summer got in, she did not speak anything.
The driver drove for a while and then parked by the roadside.
After a while, Lynn said, "Summer, I know you didn't leave work early. It's all a big misunderstanding. Your sister had suffered so much. The past is the past. Let's forget about it"
Summer sneered, "Forget about it?"
Lynn frowned, "After all the things you did to your sister, what else do you want?"
"Here," Summer pointed at her swollen face and said, "It was Vicky."
Why would she let it go?
Lynn said coldly, "I didn't know you were so mean."
"Well, I'm no match for you. I never thought you would slap your daughter so hard." Summer lowered her head, fiddling with the zipper on her bag. She said casually, but with heavy sarcasm.
Lynn was so humiliated by "Douglas". He was still angry.
Hearing Summer mention it again, he became furious.
"I was forced by a brat today. I am heartbroken to see Vicky in pain," Lynn got emotional and said loudly.
Summer covered her ears and said impatiently, "Alright, I know. Is there anything else?"
She had to go back and cook for "Douglas".
Lynn glanced at Summer. He could see her impatience and indifference.
He was confident that he could let Summer ask Leonardo to invest in his company. But now he was not so sure about it.
He thought for a moment and sighed, "You heard what Douglas said today."
Summer did not say anything. He continued, "Investing mistakes have plunged the company into a fund chain break. You're my daughter. You should help us."
Summer's mouth twisted in a contemptuous sneer. She said sharply, "Didn't they give you 300 million yuan as bride price? You've sold me for money. How can I help you now? Do you want to sell me again? I'm afraid no one wants me now." Lynn said sternly, "You were married to him. How can you say we sold you?"
"Vicky was the one who should marry him." Summer stared up at Lynn. She was not afraid of him.
Lynn was shocked by Summer's gaze, so cold and distant. She was no longer the obedient daughter.
Persuasion didn't work. Lynn's face darkened. He threatened, "Do you think the Emersons will still be nice to you when my company falls apart? You'll have a hard time without our support."
"I can get a divorce then." Summer didn't care at all.
She finally knew why Lynn was willing to give her shares of the company and insisted on her working in his company.
It turned out that he wanted her to convince Leonardo to invest money in his company.
