Summer Sweetheart novel (Leonardo and Summer)

Chapter 114: Don't be Fooled by Leonardo

Summer went straight back to the kitchen after handing the water to Leonardo. She didn't see the smile

on his face.

Douglas, however, saw the whole thing from aside.

He took a chopstick, dipped a little soup from that bowl and tasted it. His face changed color

immediately.

Douglas threw away his chopsticks and gulped down a whole glass of water to relieve the salty taste.

"Cunning!" he muttered as he pouted.

Summer was so soft-hearted that she would definitely forgive him after he took the "punishment".

This man always had a way with schemes!

Leonardo cast a cold glance at him, "Louder."

Douglas didn't dare.

He shrugged, got up and ran into the kitchen.

Summer was leaning against the table having some yogurt. Her bowl of noodles was no longer edible.

She wasn't quite hungry either, so some yogurt will do.

Seeing Douglas walk in, Summer gave him another box of yogurt from the fridge.

Douglas stood next to her and sipped a mouthful of yogurt. "Summer, don't be fooled by Leonardo.

He's way too cunning for you," he said to her in a sophisticated tone.

"Okay," Summer answered absent-mindedly. She then turned to him and said, "I'm six years older than

you. Even if you don't address me with respect, you should at least call me sister."

The fourteen-year-old boy was already taller than Summer.

But even so, he still looked fragile and childish as a teenager.

Douglas curled his lips and said, "Sister it is!"

He didn't want to address her as sister-in-law at all. He heaved a deep sigh at how his cunning brother

got a wonderful girl for nothing.

Summer was totally at a loss. How could this kid be so sentimental after having some yogurt? Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

...

The three of them went out together. Tim drove to pick them up.

Summer pulled Douglas into the seat first because she didn't want to sit with Leonardo.

Douglas stole a glance at Leonardo before getting in.

There came the awkward scene where Douglas sat in the middle of Summer and Leonardo.

Douglas could feel the intimidation coming from Leonardo beside him. He knew he might have done

something unwise.

After Summer got off at the Jarrett Group, their next stop should be at Douglas' school.

But not long after she left, Leonardo said to Tim, "Stop the car."

When the car stopped, Leonardo took a glance at Douglas, "Get off."

"But it's not my school yet!" Leonardo took him to school yesterday. It was at least a dozen minutes'

drive from here.

"I'm not giving you the ride."

"What?"

Before Douglas could react, Leonardo had already kicked him out of the car.

It almost got Douglas's nose out of joint. "You're revenging on me just because I was sitting between

you and Summer. Why not do this in front of her? Huh?" he shouted.

Douglas turned a deaf ear and told Tim to drive on, "Let's go."

Tim cast a sympathetic look at Douglas. He couldn't say anything even though he knew the school was

in exactly the same direction as Tip Top.

Douglas kicked hard on a tree as he watched the car driving away.

But the only consequence was a sharp pain on his foot.

There was still dozen minutes' drive to his school. He wouldn't make it on time even if he ran all the

way there.

What made it worse was that....

He had no money with him.

"Kick me out of the car? I'll go ask your wife for money!" Douglas said to himself.

It wasn't far, so he headed for the Jarrett Group.

...

When Summer arrived at the company, she was called to the office by Lynn.

After the press conference, the Jarrett Group's reputation remained a wreck online. People were not

buying it.

Lynn was counting all his hopes on Summer.

"Summer, how did it go with Leonardo?" He stood up at once the minute she walked in.

Summer was still a little mad to hear Leonardo's name.

"We fell out. And he said he won't help." Although she wasn't really going to ask him, she became even

more certain that he wouldn't help after finding out "Douglas" was actually Leonardo.

Lynn became anxious, "Then what should we do now? I helped you retrieve the black card, and you

promised me...."

"That card belongs to Leonardo. Even if you don't help me, he will find out eventually and get it back,

probably together with the money consumed on it."

Since Lynn and Vicky defrauded the black card, they had spent a large sum of money with it.

Fortunately, it didn't stay in their hands long enough for them to use it on the company. Even so, they

still spent nearly ten million yuan.

It was hard to retrieve what was already in their pocket.

Summer assumed the only way to pay back Leonardo was to sell her shares of the Jarrett Group.

Anyway, her shares were given by Lynn in the first place. She could sell them to him again. If he

refused, she could still sell it to someone else.

The Jarrett Group was a well-known old enterprise. Even if its reputation was damaged in a recession,

there were still plenty of people who wanted to buy their products.

Lynn's face changed color when he heard it.

"Dad, don't worry. I'll think of something." Summer didn't say it in a sincere way and Lynn didn't take it

seriously, either.

After Summer walked out, a colleague came to her and said, "Someone is looking for you."

She walked over and saw Douglas.

"What are you doing here? Why aren't you at school?" Summer checked the time. It was already nine

o'clock.

Douglas leaned against the wall in his schoolbag. "Guess what? My cousin kicked me out right after

you left. It's still so far away from school and I have no money. I have to borrow some from you," he

sighed.

"Why did he do that?" as she asked, she took out some cash from her bag and gave it to him. "If you

need money, just ask me or your cousin. Don't mess around and fool other people."

Although fooling people was also a necessary skill, Douglas wasn't old enough for that. He needed the

right guidance to become a decent man.

"Thank you, Sister Summer." Douglas took the money with a beam.

Summer also smiled. He was a good kid.
