The way Summer said was sincere and straightforward, which surprised the reporters.
The scene was quiet for a moment.
Summer continued, "Since I didn't do anything wrong, I'm not afraid that the Emersons would come after me. Besides, they are so sensible, and they won't make trouble for me for no reason."
What she said was true.
The Emersons had great influence. If Summer really did something to Mr. Charlie, it was impossible for them to let her return to the Hoover City safely.
At this time, an unknown reporter asked, "You weren't found after the fire more than half a year ago, and everyone thought you were dead. Where have you been in the past half a year? Why haven't we heard anything?"
Summer looked up and glanced across the reporters in front of her. She thought of her life and the daughter she had only seen once. She said calmly, "I have been resting."
She concluded the past half a year of her life with these words.
"Is it because you were injured in that fire? Then what is your relationship with Mr. Emerson? Are you still married? Or are you divorced?"
Summer intentionally ignored the first question, "As for the relationship between me and Leonardo, this is my privacy. I'm sorry."
She couldn't say too much. Even if she was lying, she had to leave some blank in the story.
She had indeed been resting abroad for the past six months, but she did not admit that she had been injured in the fire.
The reporter did not give up and continued to ask, "Do you mean that you have divorced and are no longer the wife of Mr. Emerson?"
Now that Leonardo had taken over the Emerson Group, he was an influential figure. His relationships with women would attract more attentions than the case of Mr. Charlie.
Not only did the media want to know about Leonardo's marriage with Summer, but also women who were waiting to get onto Mr. Emerson’s bed and become Mrs. Emerson.
Summer looked down calmly and unwilling to say anything else, "Sorry, I can't tell you."
Eliza didn't go far and kept an eye on the situation.
Seeing that Summer was no longer willing to say anything, she signaled for the staff to go over.
The staff received the signal and walked to Summer. He separated Summer from the reporters, "Please, the interview is over."
"Ms. Summer, please tell me..."
The reporter still wanted to get a reply from Summer.
Summer turned around and walked to the other side.
Eliza followed.
"Are you and Leonardo divorced?" Like the reporters, she was very interested in her relationship with Leonardo.
Summer stopped and looked at her carefully.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" Eliza touched her face. Although Summer's gaze was very calm, she was still somewhat uncomfortable being stared at like this.
After a few seconds, Summer said, "Are you into Leonardo?"
Eliza remembered Leonardo's poker-face and shook her head, "No."
Summer smiled and said, "Sorry I won't tell you."
"Hey! You...." Eliza choked on her words and pointed at Summer for a long time before she finally said, "I helped you a lot!"
Summer turned around and smiled at her, "Thank you, I'll treat you a dinner."
