However, “Douglas” was nearly 1.9 meters high. Summer could not block his face when she stood in
front of him.
Vicky looked at Summer with contempt. She took a step forward and looked straight at “Douglas”. “Mr.
Emerson, nice to meet you again.”
Leonardo glanced at Vicky and then at Summer who suddenly stood in front of him. He instantly
understood why Summer did that.
He remembered that she once said “the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother” when she contradicted
him. Was she really treating him like her son?
His expression became even colder. He didn’t even give Vicky an extra look.
Vicky was a little embarrassed when she saw “Douglas” ignoring her.
Lynn said, “Let’s find a restaurant and sit down.”
…
They found a restaurant.
When they took their seats, everyone deliberately let “Douglas” sit first.
However, “Douglas” did not sit down. Instead, he pulled out a chair and said to Summer, “Sit down.”
Summer did not know what he was going to do. She subconsciously felt that “Douglas” would not harm
her, so she sat down.
“Douglas” then sat down beside her.
Lynn immediately signaled to Vicky. Vicky took the hint and sat down beside “Douglas” with a sweet
smile.
Summer thought “Douglas” would say something, but he didn’t, as if he didn’t see Vicky sit down
beside him.
Could it be that she was wrong? Although “Douglas” looked noble and indifferent, he wasn’t particular
about women.
The dishes were served quickly. Lynn occasionally said something to ease the atmosphere. So it was
quite harmonious.
Vicky helped “Douglas” with the dishes a few times. He did not refuse or eat.
Summer felt “Douglas” was strange today. Since he sat down, she had felt that the aura around his
body was cold. Afterward, he did not refuse Vicky to help him with the dishes. She did not believe that
he would like Vicky!
Vicky was more overjoyed. She smiled gently and said, “Mr. Emerson, eat more. The food here is not
bad.”
“I see,” “Douglas” replied indifferently. He still didn’t eat.
Vicky did not mind and ask him, “Do you have a girlfriend?”
This question was private. “Douglas” did not show the slightest bit of anger on his face. Instead, he
turned to look at her and said, “No. How about you?”
“I don’t have a boyfriend either. To be honest, I …” Vicky put on a shy look. “I’ve always admired you.”
“Is that so?” Leonardo smiled coldly. A sinister aura appeared between his eyebrows. His solemn voice
suddenly became extremely cold. “But I like women with big faces. Your face is too small.”
Vicky’s eyes widened in surprise.
Summer, who had just drunk the water, was so shocked that she almost spat it out.
What was “Douglas” talking about?
She glanced at the man beside her. She could see his handsome side face. He didn’t seem to be
joking.
“I can gain weight and make my face fatter.” Vicky’s voice was trembling with excitement as she looked
at Summer with gloat.
She would win the favor with “Douglas”.
Summer turned her head, not wanting to look at her.
“Is that so?” Leonardo slightly looked down to cover the coldness in his eyes. He casually said, “There
is a method to help make your face fatter quickly. You can try.”
Vicky believed it and hurriedly asked, “What?”
Leonardo turned to look at Summer and said, “Just like her.”
Vicky looked at Summer and did not react for a while. However, Lynn suddenly understood something
and said, “Mr. Emerson, you are really good at making a joke. Hurry up and eat. Otherwise, it will be
cold.”
Leonardo didn’t take Lynn seriously at all. His expression had already turned cold.
He was handsome and fierce. And he was sitting there with a cold face. Others would be afraid even if
he didn’t lose his temper.
His aura was so mighty that no one dared to speak again for a time.
Leonardo was unmoved. He coldly looked at Vicky and said casually, “I won’t hit a woman. Do it
yourself.”
“Mr. Emerson, this joke isn’t funny …”
“Do you think I’m making a joke?” Leonardo mocked. His expression was somewhat intimidating. “Do
you think my cousin’s wife, whose bride-price is 300 million yuan, can be made fun of by you?”
Only then did they understand why “Douglas” wanted to eat with them.
Summer looked at him in astonishment. She never thought that “Douglas” would stand up for her.
It wasn’t until today that she knew the Emersons had given the Jarretts 300 million yuan.
Although it was nothing to the Emersons, it was a lot for the Jarretts.
“Douglas” made it so clear that Lynn had to stand up as the head of a family. He explained, “Summer
and Vicky are sisters. Summer did something wrong, so Vicky taught her a lesson for the sake of
Summer …”
“Mr. Jarrett, are you too old to understand what I said?” Leonardo slightly looked up, his gaze becoming
even sharper.
Lynn’s expression suddenly changed. He didn’t expect that “Douglas” would be so arrogant that he
didn’t give him any face at all.
Lynn looked at Summer with embarrassment. “Summer, this matter …”
Summer ignored him. She took a pumpkin pie from the plate in front of her and began to eat it.
Everyone understood that this matter could not be settled easily.
Lynn frowned and didn’t say anything. Instead, Karen said, “Mr. Emerson, I’m Summer’s mother. For
the sake of me, please let go of Vicky. Summer …”
Leonardo became impatient. “The Jarrett Group’s last huge investment failed, and the capital chain
broke. You urgently need a new investment. What will they do if your competitors know this news?”
Lynn’s face turned pale. The Jarrett Group’s capital chain had broken. This was an internal secret. How
could “Douglas” know it?
If their competitors knew it, they would take advantage of this to make their situation even worse.
Lynn gritted his teeth and said ruthlessly, “Vicky, do it yourself!”
Vicky couldn’t believe it. “Dad!”
Seeing that she was unwilling to do it, Lynn stood up and walked over, slapping Vicky on the face.
Leonardo said languidly, “There is another side.”
Lynn slapped her again. Leonardo had a look and said, “Both sides are different in size.”
Thus, Lynn slapped Vicky a few more times.
