Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 353

Leonardo said indifferently, "Yes. They only ask for 50 million in cash. Back then, they even asked for 100 million."

Michael was so frightened that he mumbled, "That's it. That's it.... They only ask for 50 million in cash. Give it to them...."

Leonardo was Michael's last straw, so Michael could only grasp at Leonardo tightly.

"Then why didn't you give them 100 million?" Leonardo said in a sinister voice and was like a devil crawling out of hell.

"Leonardo ... Leonardo, I am your father. Help me...." Michael's only thought was to ask Leonardo for help.

"If you had cared about your wife, she would not have ended up like that! Michael, this is your retribution!"

Leonardo said every word angrily and hung up the phone with a loud sound.

It was dusk.

The servants were all kicked out, and the hall was dim with no lights on.

In the large living room, apart from Leonardo and Tim standing behind Leonardo, there was only Kate who had fainted.

Leonardo maintained his posture and sat there motionlessly as if he would merge with the coming night.

After a long time, Tim said worriedly, "Mr. Emerson."

Summer had gone downstairs softly.

She walked over softly and Tim covered the arm that the kidnappers had sent over. "Mrs. Emerson."

Summer ordered, "Help Miss Kate to her room. Let me hold down the fort here."

Tim took Kate and the broken arm away.

Summer sat down beside Leonardo.

It was getting darker. In the room with no lights on, she couldn't see Leonardo's face clearly.

Summer reached out to cup his face in her hands, turned his face, and looked at him. "Leonardo."

Leonardo turned around and forcefully carried Summer into his arms, but he still didn't forget to avoid her unhealed wound on her shoulder.

Summer reached out and patted Leonardo's back gently. No matter how much she said, it would be useless to comfort him.

She could feel Leonardo's heavy breathing spraying on her neck. He was in a bad mood.

"My mother is a gentle and beautiful woman. She is better than anyone else." Leonardo's voice was hoarse and painful.

Summer felt weepy. "I know that."

She knew how outstanding Daisy was. Daisy was a noble lady from a scholarly family. She thought that she had married a well-matched husband, but she died miserably in the end.

This was so unfair.

Leonardo's mother was the most innocent person, but she suffered from the most pain and humiliation.

"How could they do that?"

Summer couldn't see Leonardo's face, but she could feel the helplessness and pain in his words.

After so many years, his mother Daisy was a thorn in his heart. She planted in his heart. It would hurt if he moved.

If Leonardo's mother had really died in a kidnapping case, Leonardo would not have suffered so much.

Summer was unable to answer Leonardo's question.

There was no answer to his question.
