In an instant, the air pressure in the entire office dropped.
Leonardo looked up at Kate coldly. Then he shouted, "Get out of here!"
Hostility surfaced in his ink-like eyes.
Kate had never seen Leonardo like this before. She was so frightened that she took several steps back. Then she forgot to speak for a moment.
Leonardo sneered. He stood up and walked over to Kate. Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed her neck.
Leonardo did it so suddenly, and Tim couldn't help but cry out, "Mr. Emerson!"
Leonardo grabbed Kate's neck very hard. Soon, her entire face turned a little black and blue.
Kate grabbed Leonardo's arms, wanting to push them away. But she failed because Leonardo's hands seemed to be welded to her neck.
She struggled to squeeze out three words from her throat, "Get ... off … me...."
"Didn't you think I was a devil when I was a little kid? And you actually dared to lie to me again and again. Do you know the consequences of provoking the devil?"
Leonardo stared at Kate coldly. Not a trace of warmth could be seen in his eyes.
Never had Tim seen Leonardo so fierce before. If Leonardo didn't let go of Kate, she would die.
"Mr. Emerson, please let go of Miss Kate, you will strangle her to death!" Tim knew that Leonardo was strange, so he didn't dare to touch him then. He could only persuade him aside.
Tim did not dare to call the security guards. Such an issue could not be known by others.
Seeing that Kate was about to faint, Tim was struck by a sudden thought. Then he took out his phone and called Summer.
Fortunately, Summer answered quickly.
"Hello?" Summer's voice sounded on the phone.
"Miss Summer, this is Tim. Please say something to Mr. Emerson."
"Why? What's wrong?"
"You can say anything to him."
After Tim finished speaking, he moved the phone to Leonardo's ear, "Mr. Emerson, this is from Miss Summer."
Leonardo ignored Tim and he wanted to kill Kate.
He wanted to strangle Kate to death.
Leonardo had never been a good person, and he also played dirty.
"Mr. Emerson, Summer is calling you now!" Tim hurriedly shouted, "She wants to speak to you. You should answer it."
Seemingly, Leonardo was awakened by the word "Summer". He finally regained his senses. Then he turned to look at Tim and said coldly, "Summer?"
"Yes, Summer." Tim nodded.
Tim put her on speaker. So, Summer who was on the other end of the phone heard his conversation with Leonardo.
Even over the phone, Summer could feel something was wrong with Leonardo.
"Leonardo?" She said tentatively.
Hearing her voice, Leonardo was stunned for a moment before reaching for the phone. Naturally, he let go of Kate.
Without any support, Kate fell to the ground.
Tim hurriedly helped Kate onto the sofa and lay down. He had no time to attend to Kate but paid all attention to Leonardo.
Leonardo stood still, holding the phone and speaking, "Hi, Summer."
His tone sounded no different from usual. But Summer still felt something was wrong.
Summer thought of the conversation between Leonardo and Tim and asked, "Leonardo, what are you doing?"
What was he doing?
