Summer was ordering a meal. She just took a look at Jessica and ordered the food on the phone.
After hanging up the phone, she asked Jessica, "What's wrong? What happened?"
Jessica held the phone with a strange expression. She turned to look at Rosie.
Rosie was about to fall asleep on the sofa, as she could hardly keep her eyes open.
Summer noticed Jessica's strange behavior and walked over. Jessica's expression was somewhat serious.
After a moment's hesitation, Jessica handed her phone to Summer and said, "See it yourself."
Summer took the phone over and saw the top post of the official's Twitter account of a media.
"There was a rear-end collision in the suburbs of Hoover City this morning. Four cars rushed down the cliff. Upon investigation, it was discovered that one of the cars was owned by Leonardo, the president of the Emerson Group. According to the relevant staff of the Emerson Group, Leonardo has been missing for twelve hours..."
Summer was shocked and turned to look at Jessica. Jessica did not say anything.
Summer took some time before she finally understood what had happened. She was in a panic.
Jessica was a little worried to see Summer's look. She whispered, "It just pop out. I'll call my friends at home to confirm it..."
Jessica picked up the phone, got up and walked to the balcony outside. She directly called Carl's number.
About this kind of matter, Carl might tell them something close to the truth.
As usual, Carl quickly picked up the phone.
"I saw the news. Is it true?"
They had tacit understanding, so Carl knew what she was talking about even though she didn't say it clearly.
Carl was tensed and said in an anxious voice, "I just went to find Tim, and he couldn't contact Leonardo for more than ten hours. Leonardo is not in the company or at home..."
Jessica's face turned pale. "Do you mean something really happened to Leonardo?"
Carl sighed, "Tim has been worked together with Leonardo for so many years. Apart from three years ago, Tim has never been unable to contact Leonardo for such a long time."
"I see..." Just as Jessica was about to hang up, Carl anxiously asked, "Are you planning to return home soon?"
"Yes, we bought tomorrow night's ticket." Jessica did not have the mood to mess around with Carl now.
Carl said, "I'll go pick you up."
Jessica thought for a moment and said, "OK."
After saying that, she hung up the phone. Jessica turned around and walked inside, thinking about how to tell Summer about this.
Although Summer had broken up with Leonardo, he was her beloved man as well as Rosie's biological father... It was normal if Summer felt sad to learn the news.
When Jessica entered the room, she found Summer holding her phone and sat on the sofa in a daze. Summer seemed to be depressed and was thinking something.
Jessica walked over and whispered her name, "Summer?"
Summer looked down and said in a hoarse
voice, "Just now, Eliza sent me a message. One of her friends is a reporter. The reporter took photos of the scene. The car that fell off the cliff indeed belongs to Leonardo."
Jessica sat down beside Summer. She thought that she didn't need to say anything now.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. It was the waiter delivering the meal.
Jessica immediately got up and opened the door.
The dining car was pushed in. The dinner was very sumptuous.
Summer looked distracted. Jessica patted Summer on the shoulder and went to wake Rosie up.
"Rosie, get up and have dinner."
