After Jessica blurted out, she realized what she had said.
Jessica was a bit short-tempered. No matter how angry Carl was, he would not do anything to her. However, Leonardo was not the same.
Leonardo did not have any pity on her.
Jessica gritted her teeth and regretted saying that without thinking twice.
The next moment she heard Leonardo's frightening and gloomy voice. "Say it again."
Of course, Jessica didn't dare to say it again.
She was afraid that Leonardo would throw her out after she said that.
Then the door of Leonardo's office was burst open.
Jessica turned around and saw Carl all sweaty.
He seemed to come in a hurry. His hair was in a mess. He was tired and out of breath.
When he saw Jessica, he strode over and pulled her behind him. He said angrily, "Leonardo, I know you're anxious because Summer is missing. You can talk to me. But why are you looking for Jessica?"
Carl knew well about Leonardo.
After Summer left, Leonardo would explode at any time. He wouldn't be easy on anyone who provoked him.
Jessica had a good relationship with Summer, so she thought about Summer and spoke for her. And she was straightforward. She would definitely get Leonardo angry.
If Carl hadn't known that Leonardo asked Jessica over, Jessica would be truly screwed without him around.
Leonardo was expressionless, staring at Carl for a while. And it scared Carl. Then Leonardo looked down and said indifferently, "Just ask her something about Summer."
Leonardo did not seem to be very angry, so Carl turned braver. "Summer is your wife, not Jessica's wife. Why do you ask others about her?"
Carl's words made sense.
And it shocked Leonardo.
It was true that he didn't know much about Summer.
He had asked others to investigate Summer at the beginning, so he knew about her family and that she wanted to be a scriptwriter. But he didn't know anything else.
After a while, Leonardo said in a low voice, "You guys can go out."
His voice was not loud, nor did he sound emotional. But for no reason, no one dared to say no.
Carl immediately dragged Jessica out.
Jessica struggled, but Carl just grabbed her tighter instead of letting her go.
He whispered in Jessica's ear, "Do you want Leonardo to throw you out?"
Jessica glared at him and kicked him in the calf.
Carl's face twisted in pain, but he did not do anything to her.
After leaving the office, they both leaned against the door and let out a long sigh of relief.
After a while, Carl turned to ask Jessica, "Do you know where Summer is?"
"No," Jessica snorted, "Even if I know, I won't tell you. You men all suck."
Jessica had thought that Leonardo was quite good in the past. However, Summer and he ended up like this.
How could Summer push Mr. Charlie? She was not an idiot.
Jessica also got mad at Carl. "Why are all of you men so opinionated? If it weren't for Leonardo pressing on her too hard, how would she have run away?"
"What do you mean?" Carl turned to look at her with his arms crossed. "Leonardo didn't do that. The things about the Emersons are too complicated, and they can't be fixed in a short time. But Leonardo would keep her safe even if she stays."
Jessica replied with a fake smile. "Oh, so Summer should put everything on Leonardo for his unreliable promise that he could keep her safe?"
Carl had nothing to say.
