Carl brought Summer out of Tip Top Media Company through the back door.
There was a black car waiting for them outside.
When they came near, a bodyguard opened the car door for them. Carl pushed Summer in and looked around for a while before he entered the car.
The driver started the car as soon as he got in.
After bringing Summer out successfully, Carl heaved a sigh of relief.
However, when he turned to look at Summer, he become worried again.
"Summer, are you alright?"
Immediately, Carl realized that he had asked a stupid question.
How could Summer be alright after this?
She and Leonardo were a legitimate couple. However, when people saw the picture of the marriage certificate, they just assume that Summer was a mistress.
Even him was disgusted, not to mention Summer.
However, Summer just sat there still with a numb expression on her pale face. It made Carl very worried.
"Don't worry too much. It's not that serious. You have to trust Leonardo. He will handle this matter well," Carl tried to comfort her.
However, he found that his words didn't have any influence on her.
He scratched his head irritably. Women were really complicated.
Summer turned to look at him and the first thing she said after seeing him was, "Where's Leonardo?"
"He...." Carl saw that Summer's expression was strange, but he still told her the truth, "He went to the development zone in the suburbs to inspect. He's heading back and will be here in about an hour."
"Alright," Summer replied. She leant against the seat and didn't say anything else.
Seeing her like this, Carl stopped talking.
No matter what he said, it couldn't compare to Leonardo's words.
...
The car arrived at Carl's place.
Carl lived in a duplex suite in a high-end neighborhood.
As he opened the door, he explained to Summer, "Laura followed Leonardo to his villa last time. There must be a lot of reporters hiding there, so I brought you to my home...."
Carl treated Summer gently concerning her current situation. Normally he would only be so tender to Jessica.
"Thank you," Summer thanked him blankly and followed him inside.
As soon as they entered, Carl asked her, "Do you want some water or other drinks?"
Summer shook her head.
Carl still gave her a cup of water.
After a while, Summer reached her hand towards him and said, "Give me my phone."
"Your phone .... There's nothing interesting to see on your phone. Let's have a chat, alright?" Of course, Carl knew how ugly those people on the Internet would curse, so he didn't want to give her the phone.
Summer did not insist.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
"It could be Leonardo," Carl said as he stood up and opened the door.
Summer finally had a reaction.
She turned to look at the door. However, it was not Leonardo, but Jessica.
Jessica had a quick temper. She directly came over in her acting clothes. Her hair was messy and it could tell that she came here in a rush.
"Summer!" Jessica ran towards Summer. She opened her mouth and wanted to say something. But after a while, she just said, "It will be over."
Summer nodded, "I know."
Jessica looked at Summer carefully and didn't find anything wrong with her, other than her pale complexion.
