His Ugly Bride novel Chapter 705

Her indifference disappointed Eliza, who said honestly, "Well, I actually only saw his avatar..."

When Summer chatted with Douglas, she mentioned Leonardo.

If Eliza had seen everything, she would not have been so calm. She would have bombarded her, firing questions on who she was chatting with, and if he had anything to do with Leonardo.

Anyway, Eliza was asking who she was chatting with now.

"Tell me. Is it a young man chasing after you?" Eliza looked at her curiously.

"No one is chasing after me. He's like a younger brother to me." Douglas was eight or nine years younger than her. To her, he was just a younger brother.

"I don't believe it." Eliza pointed at Summer's phone with her chin, "If you can show me the chat history, I'll believe you. If you can't, it must be a boy chasing after you."

She knew that Summer would not possibly show her the chat history, so she teased her.

Summer knew what Eliza was thinking. She handed her phone to Eliza without demur, saying indifferently, "Here you go."

Eliza opened her mouth and said disappointedly, "No."

She did not like to pry into other people's privacy. Gossiping was her hobby, but it did not mean that she could disregard to other people's privacy.

Summer was calm, which meant she regarded the man who had chatted with her just now as her younger brother.

Eliza couldn't help but ask, "Is he your relative in the Jarretts?"

"No." Summer was annoyed by Eliza, simply closing her eyes and pretending to sleep. It would take more than an hour from the airport to the hotel.

At the mention of the Jarretts, Eliza started to get the conversation flowing. "By the way, I heard from a few investors at a dinner party that the Jarrett Group is going down. They can't even afford to hire a celebrity for their new product, so they are not able to have a proper promotion."

That reminded Summer of something. She abruptly opened her eyes and asked, "Really?"

Eliza was talking about it on the spur, and she got excited when Summer showed her interest. "Don't you know that? Oh right, you have disowned the Jarretts."

Back then, everyone in Hoover City knew that Lynn disowned Summer on newspaper. It remained a gossip topic in the city.

"Yeah." Summer got absent-minded. She recalled that Spencer took the initiative to call her, asking her to spend the Spring Festival with the Jarretts and saying that she could rely on them in the future.

Now she finally knew why he called her.

The Jarrett Group had been going downhill and they couldn't even afford to hire a celebrity, so they wanted to use her connections in the entertainment industry.

Summer laughed at herself, thinking the Jarretts saw nothing but profits and they could not possibly take any disinterested actions out of goodwill.

"Summer, what's the matter?" Eliza noticed that Summer's face turned cold, thinking that she should not have mentioned that Summer was disowned by the Jarretts. She hastily apologized, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to mention this."

"It's fine. I'm going to sleep." Summer closed her eyes and began to take a nap.

It was in the afternoon, and it was warm. She wanted to have a good nap.

Summer closed her eyes and fell asleep in a daze. When the bus stopped halfway, she woke up.
