Predestined Marriage

Hearing that, Leonardo let go of her.

He took half a step back to look at her. "But they deserve to die."

"Are you forcing my grandfather to return because you want to kill him, too?" Summer felt a chill.

She thought she had a place in Leonardo's heart, but now she realized that she had been wrong.

"No," Leonardo said indifferently, "Of course I won't do anything to your grandfather. He wasn't involved in that case. He was just bribed by the Emersons."

"Then what exactly are you trying to achieve?"

Summer was a little confused, but she vaguely understood one thing.

Marco’s father might have been involved by some coincidence to know about Leonardo's mother's horrendous death.

This world was never black and white. Summer did not know what to think about Leonardo's deeds.

Nonetheless, her heart ached for him.

His mother had been so outstanding. If she had been around, Leonardo wouldn't have become like this.

He could have made it to the financial magazines covers and been admired by everyone.

However, he was obsessed with finding the mastermind behind the kidnapping.

Living in hatred and guilt, a man as noble and powerful as him could feel no joy.

"The Emersons thought he was making some people uneasy at home, so they sent him abroad," Leonardo paused for a moment before continuing, "Once he returns, some will lose their patience."

Something occurred to him, and his lips curled into a smile.

That smile was not from the heart, carrying bloodthirsty coldness.

However, his words were chillier for her after all.

"By 'some people' you mean the Emersons?"

Summer felt that she must have misunderstood.
