Chapter 25: Counterattack
Chapter 25: Counterattack
Summer received Jessica's call as soon as she exited the restaurant.
“Quick come over, the red car across the road” Jessica said and hung up.
Summer looked up and saw the red car across the road. As she looked at it, the car horned twice.
Summer looked around and walked quickly to the car and sat in the front passenger seat.
Jessica started the engine and asked, “How was it? Was it successful?”
Jessica had a short movie that was low key but popular. She could be recognized by anyone and that’s
why she waited for her
outside.
Summer smiled and said, “Success”
Vicky had oppressed her for too many years and disregarded her. That was why she should harden
herself to do this.
“But the plan may be changed”
“Meaning?”
“She wanted me to divorce Leonardo and infuriate the Emersons. She wants their attention to be
focused on me and forget
that she was the original betrothed.
Then she can rightfully be with Jerome”
Jessica furiously hit the steering wheel when she heard, “Does she have a bottom line!”
“There is no bottom line as long as it is beneficial towards her” Summer knew Vicky too well.
She originally wanted the paparazzi to send out the video tomorrow morning but from the looks of it,
she can add another step.
On the social media, “The ugly will cause trouble” topic was no longer trending. Very soon, the topic of
interest was “Divorce,
why keep the marriage”
“According to hearsays, Ms. Jarrett’s sister succumbed to pressure and is discussing their divorce...”
Though it was a simple topic, the netizens were whipped into a frenzy.
“Pressure? I think her conscience is making her do it!”
“She was after their money. She knew that Leonardo was impotent and she still agreed to the
marriage...”
This topic became the top trending topic again and very quickly, it was deleted.
There were a lot of topics being deleted or blocked but Summer knew that this must have been the
work of the Emerson family.
After all, a well known and important family like the Emersons will not sit on their hands when their heir
was being slandered on the internet.
That night, the paparazzi sent her a video clip with a message, “Next time I'll not do it again”
This was someone who had criticized Summer.
She was curious and opened the video. It was clear that the person in the video was Vicky.
And the phrases were “already apologized don't make things difficult for my mother'' NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
“be obedient like a dog”
“beg me to marry Leonardo” these started to clarify the entire matter.
Those who scolded Summer now kept quiet by the turn of events.
Thereafter, people began to apologize to Summer. Some didn't watch the video and continued to scold
Summer but these were very few.
Within a short span of six to seven hours, Summer's social media fans grew to fifty thousand.
Vicky went on a date with Jerome after successfully threatened Summer. She spent the night at
Jerome's place.
So she didn’t know about the on-goings on social media.
She was awakened by Lynn’s phone call.
Vicky was in Jerome's embrace and irritably answered, “Dad, what's up?”
“Go online and see what a hole you've dug yourself into. You even dared to spend the night outside.
Come home immediately!” Lynn has never been so angry with her.
Vicky had a bad feeling about this.
She quickly hung up the call and checked the news online. Only then did she find out that her
conversation at the restaurant
was captured by a paparazzi.
Her expression changed immediately and she bit down hard on her lips, “These sluts!”
“What happened?” Jerome kissed her and asked.
Vicky kept her phone and said, “My father called me. Something cropped up at home. I've got to go
back now”
On the way back, she thought about their conversation being captured. She was certain that Summer
had something to do with it.
Unless it was Summer who did it on purpose to set her up!
Vicky was sullen as she called Summer but no one answered.
On the other side, Summer looked at the phone and “Sister” was displayed. She laughed and placed
her phone aside and
poured herself a drink.
The phone was still ringing when she came back.
Vicky must be so mad that she must be willing to erase her!
“Why are you so happy?”
Summer composed herself and she didn't turn around to look and knew that the person who said that
was “Douglas”.
She placed her phone on silent mode and kept it in the pocket. She picked up the glass and wanted to
go upstairs.
Unfortunately, “Douglas” was just at the stairs.
“Douglas” seemed to be toying with her. When she walked on the left, he would block the left side.
When she walked on the right...
Summer was in a good mood but in a flash, he ruined everything. She looked upstairs and then softly
said to “Douglas”, “What do you want?”
“Don't you know, your Jarrett family squabbles have now affected the Emerson family. “Douglas”
laughed and looked at her.
He looked serious and yet seem to want to seek something from her.
“Oh” Summer lowered her eyes, answered without any emotions. She crossed over him and proceeded
upstairs.
Leonardo squinted and asked as he wondered, “You don't look like you're scared”
Summer didn't want to talk to him but yet couldn't help talk back, “I didn’t do anything wrong, why
should I be scared?"
Leonardo didn't expect her to say it in such a manner. Her calmness was beyond he had imagined.
Summer turned and left as soon as she finished talking. He looked at her back and pondered deeply.
Has this lady stopped
pretending that she's an idiot?
Back in her room, she wasn't as calm as when she was facing off “Douglas”.
She knew that the hacker employed by the Emersons suppressed some of the news but she was
unable to determine what
the Emersons thought.
She took out the phone and apart from Vicky's call, the rest were from the Jarrett family.
Summer smirked and dialed Karen's cell phone number.
As expected, as soon as the call was connected, Karen immediately said, “Come back immediately”
“I'm on my way...” Summer lowered her voice. Trying to make sure that her voice sounded worried.
She certainly wanted to go back to the Jarrett family to see their reactions.
To go and watch Vicky losing her mind and throw her tantrums.
But one thing for sure was Vicky will not simply admit defeat.
