Predestined Marriage

But in the end, Summer came up with nothing.

Tim had left. He would have spilled the beans if he could. This was all he wanted to share and all she could get. In a sense, Leonardo's men were already like him in many ways.

Summer got in the car, called Trevin, and drove to their rendezvous.

Trevin had arrived before her.

He was active in the lawsuit against Leonardo, like a lawyer busting his ass off for his case. It said a lot about how much he wanted to win this.

Honestly, it was more than a lawsuit. He wanted to beat Leonardo.

"I've drafted the indictment for you. Take a look. If there's no problem, you can submit it to the court." Trevin said as he pushed a stack of documents in front of Summer.

Summer froze for a moment before opening and perusing them calmly.

He sized her up and looked down at the coffee without urging her.

After a long time, Summer looked up and said, "It's good to go. There's nothing wrong with it."

"Then I can submit it to the court for you?" Trevin asked.

Summer didn't reply, and he continued, "I will do it now, and Leonardo will receive a subpoena in a few days."

Summer nodded and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "I understand."

"What? Are you regretting it?" He reclined in his chair and squinted at her with a smile, saying, "If you want to back down, I can drop this matter now."
