Leonardo didn't speak.
Summer sneered at Karen and then left.
Before Karen knew what was going on, Tim had already walked up to her and said, "Ms. Karen, this way please..."
He was clearly chasing Karen out.
Karen was a coward. She was embarrassed about the synthesized recording and walked out shamefacedly.
When she reached the door, she saw Summer leaning against the door with her arms wrapped across her chest.
Summer stared at Karen, who then hesitantly walked forward, "Summer, you..."
"Do you mind giving me a ride?" Summer asked coldly.
Summer was so indifferent that Karen felt strange, but she still nodded.
...
In the car, Summer and Karen sat side by side in the back seat.
Summer asked coldly, "Did Vicky ask you to do that?"
Her cold tone gave Karen much pressure that she actually admitted, "Yes, it's her."
"I remember she has said something before. Who did she say was as obedient as a dog?" Summer smiled wickedly.
Karen turned pale, but she still tried to defend Vicky, "She was just so annoyed. Usually, she is nice to me. Summer, Leonardo seems to trust you very much. You must get along well, right? Can you stop fighting against your sister? These days, she is so angry that she even suffers loss of appetite..."
Summer clenched her fists tightly and shouted, "Shut up!"
The shouting surprised Karen since Summer had never shouted at her before.
Summer's eyes were red, but she didn't shed tears.
It was the first time that she had gotten hysterical in front of Karen.
"Even if you never treat me as your biological daughter, you should at least treat me as a person! I have feelings. I am not something that is at your mercy and won't feel sad. I am a human being! I have feelings and will feel sad!"
Karen was frightened by Summer's tone, but she still said, "I know ... But my life in the Jarrett's isn't easy. I just want you to help me..."
"Had my life been easy in the past few years? When I was young, you had never bought me new clothes. I only wore Vicky's old clothes. Every time you made Vicky biscuits and fruits, I had to wait and eat the rest. Even now, I was forced to marry Leonardo, but you guys still can't let me go..."
Summer closed her eyes and held back her tears, shouting to the driver, "Stop!"
Karen hurriedly grabbed her arm and said, "Summer, don't get off. Listen to me..."
"Let go! Don't touch me!" Summer shook Karen's hand off forcefully.
She was afraid that she would lose control if she stayed any longer.
Seeing the hatred and disgust in Summer's eyes, Karen let go of her and didn't dare to say anything else.
...
The place where Summer got off the car wasn't far from the Jarrett Group.
So she walked to the company on foot.
The Hoover City was in the south with four seasons. The temperature outside was only four or five degrees Celsius now, but the wind rasped Summer's face.
However, her heart hurt more.
The wind blowing, she walked so fast that it was difficult for her to breathe.
