Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 267

Tim gasped for air painfully, but he didn't fight back. Instead, he allowed Leonardo to hit him.

Carl rushed over, grabbed Leonardo's arm and said, "Calm down!"

Having lost his mind at this time, Leonardo didn't stop. He turned to beat Carl as well.

Although Carl was good at fighting as his family used to deal with gangsters, he wasn't Leonardo's rival.

In the end, both were too exhausted to move, with bruises all over their bodies. They lay down in ashes.

Tim did not stop them. He and his men turned to search the villa.

As expected, Summer was nowhere to be found.

The fire destroyed the villa.

He walked to Leonardo and said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't find her."

Tim thought he would be beaten again.

But Leonardo didn't hit him as expected.

Hearing his words, Leonard didn't move at all. He just stared at the charred ceiling blankly, as if he didn’t hear the words at all.

Tim turned to look at Carl who was wiping his lips.

He propped himself up and spat out blood onto the pile of ashes beside him. "Leave him alone. He's crazy. Damn it, I can't even get up. Help me."

Tim walked over to support Carl.

Carl stood up, trembling.

Leonardo used all his strength. If Carl hadn't been trained, he wouldn't have stood a chance and would have been sent to the emergency room.

Carl gasped in pain because of his injury. He whispered to Tim, "Give him some time. Don't worry about him."

Tim nodded with great concerned.

Carl walked out with the help Tim and saw a reporter doing a live interview with his back to the villa.

Carl hurriedly took a detour and got into the car from the other side.

But Tim wasn't so fortunate.

The reporter saw him and went straight to him.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Emerson's subordinate? Is Mrs. Emerson inside? Did she commit suicide for fear of punishment?"

"I just saw Mr. Emerson enter. What is he doing? When will he come out?"

"I heard that Mrs. Emerson received a subpoena and then committed suicide. Does it mean that she is the one who pushed Mr. Charlie down the stairs?"

The sharp questions were all about Summer.

Tim said coldly, "No comment."

Afterwards, the bodyguards came over and drove the reporter away.

In a village in the northern part of Hoover City.

Summer was eating a bowl of steaming egg noodles at a dingy noodle restaurant, while watching the news on TV.

"At noon, a villa halfway up the mountain caught fire. A source said the villa belongs to Leonardo, the successor of the Emerson Group."

Then there was a live report from a reporter in front of the villa.

Summer saw that the once beautiful villa had been burned down into ruins.

Tim showed up on TV.

Still wearing his suit and leather shoes, he was in a mess.
