After asking the question, Carl did not receive any answer from Leonardo. Instead, Leonardo just hung up on him.
Carl took a look at his phone and sighed, "What a temper!"
After hanging up the phone, Leonardo dialed Summer's number.
He got through first, but after one ring, it was not in service.
Leonardo dialed several times in a row. It was the same.
He called in Tim through the internal phone.
Tim quickly came in. "Mr. Emerson, is there anything I can do for you?"
"Book a flight." After finishing speaking, he immediately raised his hand to stop Tim. "No, prepare the private plane."
With that, he stood up, picked up his coat and walked out.
Seeing his serious expression, Tim guessed that something might go very wrong. He did not ask more questions and only said respectfully, "I will go and arrange it now."
Leonardo left the company and drove straight home.
He packed a few of his necessities and came out of the room where he saw Rosie standing at the door. She asked him, "Where are you going?"
Rosie hadn't seen Summer for several days. She knew carrying the suitcase meant going out far from home.
Leonardo held the lever of the suitcase in his hand and looked down slightly at Rosie. "I'll go find your mother."
There was calmness and indifference in his voice that only adults would have.
Rosie reached out to grab the corner of his clothes and whispered, "I want to go, too."
"You can't go. It's too far." Leonardo did not get rid of her hand, only explaining in a flat voice.
"But I miss Mom. If you miss her, go to see her, I also want to see her." It was rare for Rosie to express her thoughts so clearly.
Leonardo paused, but his expression didn't change much. "I didn't say I missed her."
Hearing this, Rosie was unhappy. She turned her back to him with her arms crossed.
Right now, she didn't care if Leonardo missed Summer. She only knew Leonardo didn't take her to her mother.
Leonardo reached out and pulled her over, telling her, "Wait for us at home."
His voice was as calm as when he was in a company meeting, but when looking carefully, one could see that he didn't frown. He was patient with Rosie.
Although Rosie was reluctant, she nodded and said, "Alright."
Leonardo took a private plane to see Summer.
Although Carl's main purpose was to see Jessica, he was also the CEO of Tip Top Media. If he did not go over, his subordinates would naturally go there to deal with the matters.
The crew members were all from Tip Top Media Company, so if he wanted to go there now, he would naturally go as the CEO and had to bring his subordinates along on the plane.
He arrived at the village not long after Leonardo did.
Leonardo got off the plane and drove to the small village overnight.
When Carl arrived at the village, it was the afternoon of the next day.
The mood of the people in the village wasn't as bad as it was reported online, but it wasn't optimistic, either.
Because the houses in the village were built down the hillside, some of them were quite near the rocks and trees.
During the mudslides, there were landslides.
Rocks and mud slipped down, and washed away several houses near the mountains together with the flood. The houses were severely damaged, and there were also casualties.
Even though the houses a little far away from the mountains were affected, the damage was slight and could even be neglected.
As for Jessica and the crew, they lived a bit farther away from the mountains, so they were basically fine.
