Carl was so furious that he had no time to care about what Summer said now.
Summer tried to stop them, but she failed to get close to them.
She looked up at Amber and wished her to stop them. However, Amber was not anxious at all. Instead, she put on a smile, as if she was proud that Leonardo had a fight with Carl because of her.
The shop manager came over with the bodyguards, and they recognized Leonardo and Carl soon.
They were in charge of the Emerson Group and Tip Top Media Company respectively. The manager couldn't afford to annoy either of them and did not dare to step forward. He had no way but to say, "Mr. Emerson and Mr. Carl, stop fighting!"
A waiter walked over and whispered in the manager's ear, "I've called the police."
As Summer was close to them, she could hear the waiter's words.
It would blow up the affair if the police came. Both of Leonardo and Carl would suffer reputation damages. Besides, they probably would indeed break off with each other.
They had been friends for so many years. Summer didn't want the thing to come to such an end.
Since no one dared to stop them, Summer had to do it on her own. She pursed her lips and turned around to pick up a coffee cup from the table. Then, she smashed it onto the ground hard.
The coffee cup fell to the ground with a loud sound.
All of a sudden, it became silent in the shop. Leonardo, who was fighting with Carl, paused for a moment and looked at Summer. Then, he was kicked to the ground by Carl.
Summer was shocked. She had broken the cup to affect Carl. In her mind, Leonardo was focused. He wouldn't be influenced by others even though he was having a fight. However, he stopped. What was stranger was that he turned to look at Summer instead of the cup.
Moreover, he seemed to worry about Summer..
Summer didn't have time to think further.
Seeing that Carl wanted to give Leonardo another punch, she strode forward and pulled Carl by his arm.
Carl's cheek was red and slightly swollen.
He breathed heavily and pointed at Leonardo, saying, "Summer, let go of me. I'll beat him up today. I should do it a long time ago!"
Summer stopped Carl with full strength and said to him in a low voice, "You'd better talk with him in private. Do you want to get the headlines and let Jessica know it?"
Hearing Jessica's name, Carl was convinced and calmed down. He stopped fighting with Leonardo.
"Leonardo, how are you?" Amber cried out in alarm and walked forward to help Leonardo up.
Even though the corners of his mouth were red, Leonardo still looked calm, and his eyes were sharp. He stood up and shook off Amber's hands.
His wounds wrung Amber's heart. Before Leonardo spoke, she said in anger, "How dare you? You slandered me, and now you hurt Leonardo. You are completely out of control! I'll sue you!"
Carl didn't take what she said seriously. He sneered, "You are Amber, right? I'll break your leg sooner or later!"
"Summer, let's go!" Carl gave Leonardo a meaningful look before turning around and leaving.
Amber had never been threatened like this before. Carl was the first man who became rude to her. In fact, those men, who she had met, either had feelings for her or were polite to her.
She was so angry that her face turned pale. For a while, words failed her. She could only watch Summer and Carl walk out.
