After knowing Alexander's intention, Summer's expression became colder.
When those old men spoke to her, Summer just responded indifferently instead of warmly.
The older these people were, the more they cared about others' attitude to them. A few of them saw Summer like this and their faces went an ugly green.
In the end, they didn't have a pleasant meal.
After the meal, Summer and Alexander returned to the hotel together.
They didn't say anything on their way back. When they took the elevator in the hotel, Alexander suddenly said, "Summer, don't feel that I'm using you. Everything I'm doing is for our family."
Alexander's words put him on the moral high ground.
For their family.
"Your sister deserves better."
"Don't forget that you're also a Jarrett."
"I'm doing this for our family."
Everyone had their own reasons for using her.
But what about her?
Should she just let them to do that and accept her fate?
Summer turned to look at Alexander. Under the blazing light in the elevator, her fair face went even colder.
She stared at Alexander. "But only my family hurts me most during all these years."
Hearing this, Alexander tensed up, and his expression became complicated.
Just as Leonardo said, Alexander was a smart man, so there's no need for Summer to say more.
After a while, Alexander said, "Your father and your sister were stupid and did the wrong things. Those will not happen again."
...
The elevator stopped at their floor and opened.
Summer walked out before Alexander. "Vicky was just foolish to find someone to kill me?"
After she said that, Summer was about to leave. Then she suddenly remembered something. She turned to look at Alexander and said, "Grandpa, I have been wondering about something."
Alexander frowned slightly and looked stony-faced. Probably because of Summer's words, he had a very ugly look on his face.
"Why did the Emersons agree that Vicky and Leonardo got engaged? Even if Leonardo was truly a disfigured and impotent man, he could easily find a wife better than Vicky."
Summer might be able to deceive Lynn with her small tricks. But those were unnecessary in front of Alexander.
Since Alexander easily found out that she had asked reporters to secretly take photos of the factory, it was very difficult to deceive him about anything else.
It was better to ask him directly.
There was a flash of vigilance in Alexander's eyes. Then, he said coldly, "It has nothing to do with you. You just need to be the young madam of the Emersons. No matter how much you hate your father and your sister, they are your family. The blood in your bones belongs to the Jarretts."
This was not the first time Summer had heard such words.
She did not expect Alexander to answer her question, but such words made her laugh out loud.
Then, she said coldly, "It is the heart that makes blood. Can you make my heart become yours?"
Alexander's expression immediately changed. Summer smiled and left.
Alexander and Leonardo were similar. Both of them liked to control others.
However, Alexander's control was obvious, while Leonardo's was invisible but more powerful.
