"Thank you." Summer smiled and looked at Karen.
Although Summer was thanking her, Karen always felt that there was a deeper meaning in her smile. As if her eyes had already seen through everything.
Karen involuntarily trembled. Her hand did not hold the chopsticks steadily and they fell to the ground.
Summer bent over to help her pick up the chopsticks and said, "Mom, you have to hold the chopsticks steadily. Next time you drop them, I might not be able to help you pick them up."
Her tone was slow and gentle, but Karen always felt that there was something other meaning in Summer’s words.
Karen frowned and smiled again. "I was just careless."
"Is that so?" Summer smiled noncommittally and stood up, "I'm full. I'm going out first."
Actually, she didn't eat much at all.
Lynn watched Summer walk out and frowned. He always felt that Summer was strange.
...
As soon as Summer left his office, her expression was completely restrained, leaving only bone-piercing coldness.
Karen had purposely flattered her just now. She saw it, but there was no fluctuation in her heart.
For so many years, she had been deceiving herself.
If Karen loved her, even a little, she wouldn't have been unwilling to buy her even a piece of clothing for so many years, and she wouldn't have knelt down to beg her to marry Leonardo.
Karen wanted to please Summer because she understood the importance of herself in Summer's heart and knew the benefit.
If it was in the past, Summer might have already forgiven Karen.
However, after being disheartened, Summer became much more sober. Karen's fawning over her could not numb her.
In the future, she would no longer care about Karen.
No one could pretend that nothing had happened after being hurt again and again.
Summer walked to a place where there were no other people and sent a message to the reporter that Jessica had introduced to her. "The newly developed kitchen towel made by the Jarrett Group is made of fake materials and contains toxins harmful to health."
The Jarrett Group mainly made household daily necessities. In the past two years, it had also been exposed to the public that its products were fake. However, it was quickly suppressed.
At that time, Summer was still in high school. After seeing that news, she went to the factory of the Jarrett Group once. Indeed, there were some problems.
The reporter Jessica introduced to her could be considered reliable and relatively professional.
He was an entertainment reporter and could sell the news to other media.
The reporter quickly replied, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, but you have to go to the factory to take photos yourself. I'll send you the address." Paparazzi were good at camouflage and sneak shooting, which was their specialty.
"Alright!"
Because the Jarretts and the Emersons were related by marriage, and the matter of the Jarrett Group had newsworthiness, the reporter agreed.
Summer put away her phone and walked to the office.
Halfway through, she met Vicky, who had returned from outside.
Karen often delivered meals to the company, but Vicky was a hedonist. She was tired of eating the meals Karen cooked every day, so she was naturally more willing to go out to eat.
Vicky said arrogantly, "Didn't you want to learn from me? I'll have a meeting later, and you can come and listen."
