Predestined Bride

When Summer arrived at the company, the first thing she did was to meet Vicky.

However, there was nobody in Vicky’s office.

Summer asked Vicky’s assistant, “Hasn’t she come yet?”

The assistant shook her head.

Summer’s mood became even more complex.

If Douglas and Vicky were really dating, she would feel that it was like putting a pretty flower on a piece of dog poo.

Douglas looked arrogant and presumptuous. But after spending the past two months with him, Summer felt that his private life was quite simple, not as chaotic as Vicky’s.

…

Because of the exposure, the Jarrett Group’s reputation in the market had plummeted. The discussion on the Internet was very intense, and even everyone scolded it.

Forty-eight hours had passed since that had been exposed to the public. If they didn’t find a way to solve the problem, it would only become even worse.

The PR department did not silence the uproar. Perhaps because it was too big, the company talked to the platform, but the platform did not agree to suppress the heated discussions online.

The Jarrett Group was currently in a very passive state.

At noon, Summer heard the news that the Jarrett Group had already announced that a press conference would be held in the afternoon.

However, Vicky didn’t come to the company. However, Lynn made a call to Summer, asking her to go to his office.

Lynn had been very anxious these past few days. He looked as if he were ten years older and had a lot of whiter hair.

As soon as he saw Summer, he hurriedly said, “Summer, I have already sent someone to help you find the black card. The company has decided to hold a press conference this afternoon, and then you ask Leonardo to help us. After this period of time has passed, this problem will be smoothly solved.”

Summer directly ignored his suggestion, asking, “So do you find it?”This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

The black card was clearly in Lynn’s hands, but he was still unwilling to hand it over. He even lied to her and said that he had sent someone to look for it. He clearly wanted to get something for nothing.

Of course, Summer would not be fooled.

“Not yet. We should be able to find it. The most important thing at present is to solve the matter of extreme urgency that the Jarrett Group is facing.” Lynn was not satisfied with Summer’s reaction.

Summer did not have the patience to waste any more time with Lynn. She smiled faintly, saying, “That black card is Leonardo’s secondary card. He knows every consumption. Yesterday, he asked me why I recently spent so much money and urged me to return the card to him. Otherwise, he would directly freeze this account.”

Facing such a person, Summer was now telling lies with ease.

Lynn’s face immediately turned pale. Recently, they had indeed been using that card and spent a lot. If Leonardo wanted to audit the accounts, it would be easy to find it.

Although Summer was still kept in ignorance, it might not be that easy to deceive Leonardo.

The current urgency was no longer just a matter of money. Of course, the most important thing was to solve the problem with the Jarrett Group’s factory.

Previously, he was in a hurry, and was convinced by what Vicky said. He completely forgot about Leonardo.

Until now did he finally become afraid?

“I will definitely send someone to help you find the black card as soon as possible.”

“Thank you, Dad.”

Not long after Summer left, Lynn called her and told her that the black card had been found.

Summer pretended to be grateful and then asked, “How did you find it? Where are the two kidnappers?”

Lynn said vaguely, “They were arrested by the police.”

“I will definitely beg Leonardo for help. I must share the responsibilities with the Jarrett Group,” she said falsely.

Lynn believed this lie and said with a gratified expression, “We’re counting on you.”

…

In the afternoon, the Jarrett Group held a press conference.

Summer stayed in the tearoom to watch the live broadcast of the press conference.

“The Jarrett Group is an old enterprise in Hoover City. It has been trusted by consumers for so many years. As the chairman of the Jarrett Group, what do you want to comment on those problems?”

Lynn looked haggard, with his face full of guilt. He said, “This is my negligence. We have failed everyone’s trust…”

Probably because Lynn was well-prepared early, the first half part of the press conference was normal and smooth.

In the second half, a reporter suddenly asked, “Someone on the Internet said that the Jarrett Group is a mess, making fake and shoddy products. The current chairman’s ability is not comparable to that of the previous one. As for your two daughters, one has a messy private life, and the other is keen on hype. And your son, who is studying abroad, loves drag racing. Do you have anything to say about these things?”

What??

Summer was totally stunned.

Being keen on hype? Was that reporter serious??

She remembered that Lynn asked her to admit her hype in front of the media because of the paparazzi’s sneaking shot.

These reporters are truly pervasive.

On the live broadcast, Lynn’s expression suddenly became extremely pale, and everyone could even feel his embarrassment from the screen.

Lynn was clearly stewing his own juice.

As for the hype, she had a clear conscience.

…

After work, Summer finally saw Vicky.

Vicky’s expression was dull. When she saw Summer, she glared fiercely at Summer, scolding, “Bitch!”

“Everyone knows that your private life is in chaos now. Then who is bitch?” Summer sneered.

Vicky had been detained in the police station for one night for sexual harassment. She had just been released, and she couldn’t help but vent her anger to Summer.

“You did it on purpose, didn’t you? You must have told Douglas in advance what I was going to do, that’s why he humiliated me like that!” Vicky’s eyes were filled with malice, as if she wished to kill her.

Although Summer did not know what Vicky was talking about, she could tell from Vicky’s words that Douglas had not been successfully hooked by her but had even humiliated her.

However, Vicky even blamed her for such a thing?

Summer approached her and whispered in her ear, “Are you crazy? Stupid woman.”

This scene looked as if Summer was speaking to her with a gentle expression.

“Summer, you bitch!” Vicky was instantly enraged. She waved her hand and was about to hit Summer.

Summer had already retreated with precaution, causing her hit to miss the target.

There were many employees passing by. This scene looked as if Vicky was bullying Summer.

The people in the company already disliked Vicky.

Someone whispered, “She still dares to come to the company…”

“Doesn’t she feel ashamed? If she’s still working as the department manager in the company, I’ll quit my job. It’ll be annoying to see her.”

“Coincidentally, my contract will expire soon.”

Vicky also heard what they were talking about, and she aggressively walked over to them, shouting, “What do you mean? This is my father’s company. Why don’t I dare to come?”
