Predestined Marriage Chapter 416 Sweet Words, Sweet Mouth

During the meal, Leonardo kept silent.

But Summer always felt that Leonardo was strange.

Summer came out from Rosie's room after she fell asleep. Then she suddenly saw Leonardo standing
at the door.

Summer was shocked because she didn't expect Leonardo to be here.

She took a deep breath and looked at Leonardo angrily, "Why are you standing here?"

With an ice-cold face, Leonardo didn't say anything. He just stood at the door. Summer didn't know why
he did this.

"Follow me."

Leonardo turned around to leave after finished his words.

Summer was confused, but she still followed him.

When they arrived at the study, Leonardo took out a recording pen.

Leonardo pressed the "on" button.

This recording pen was the one that Kate had given Leonardo.

A familiar voice came from inside.

Summer did not expect Kate to actually record their conversation. Kate would indeed use such a crude
tactic. Summer wondered what Leonardo would think after hearing this. After all, his moods changed
hourly.



Summer pissed Kate off. Leonardo knew this when he returned at noon. But he didn't get mad at
Summer. And Summer thought it's over.

However, Summer didn't expect Leonardo would hear their conversation and then question her.

After finishing playing the recording, Leonardo crossed his arms and stared at Summer indifferently.

He didn't say anything and showed no expression on his face.

Summer could not understand what he was thinking, so she only stared at him silently.

"How much do you want?" Leonardo asked coldly.

Summer remembered what she had said and didn't know how to answer.

Leonardo narrowed his eyes and took a step forward. His shoe tip had touched that of Summer.

They were too close, and Summer could even smell the cold scent on Leonardo.

She wanted to take a step back. But under Leonardo's gaze, Summer didn't dare to move her feet at
all.

Leonardo's black eyes were filled with anger. Then he asked, "In other words, how much do you think
I'm worth?"

Summer said smartly, "Price... priceless."

However, she stuttered because of tension.

Leonardo raised his eyebrows as if he was surprised that Summer would say so.

Seeing that Leonardo fell silent, Summer felt a bit more nervous.



Did her words sound so faked? Did Leonardo believe what she said?

However, what Leonardo did dispelled her doubts.

He suddenly reached out and gently pressed his fingers on Summer's lips, stroking them.

Immediately, Summer heard Leonardo's lowered voice, "Sweet words, sweet mouth, do you agree?"

His voice was originally very deep, and when it was deliberately lowered, it sounded so sexy.

Summer kept steady and allowed Leonardo's fingers to press on her lips. People would look flirtatious
when they did this. But Summer wasn't disgusted with what Leonardo did to her.

Summer was stupefied for a while before she suddenly reacted. She pushed Leonardo's hand away
and took a step back, "Mr. Emerson, please be a gentleman and stop doing that again."

"Well, OK," Leonardo replied lightly.

Summer did not know whether Leonardo would listen to her or not. She explained to him, "I just want to
enrage your sister. So, I said that. Please don't take it seriously."

Leonardo replied noncommittally, "OK, I see."

Summer then took a deep breath.

'Forget it, I can't figure out what he is thinking.'

After Summer left, Leonardo lightly twisted his fingers and revealed a smile.

Kate had rough days.

Ever since she gave Leonardo the recording that day, he started to take the lead in the company.



In the past years, Leonardo had the final say on any matter of the company.

And the shareholders knew that under Leonardo's leadership, they could earn more money.

Three years ago, Leonardo didn't express his desire to monopolize power. Naturally, the shareholders
didn't take sides.

As long as Leonardo wanted to seize power, almost all the shareholders gathered around and
supported him.

In business, there were no pure friends or enemies, only common interests.

Soon, Kate was somewhat embarrassed in the Emerson Group.

She was still the vice president, but she did not have a voice, nor did she have any real power.

And she would only deal with some insignificant projects.

She was completely deprived of power and became a dispensable person in the Emerson Group.

Kate thought about it and finally decided to talk to Leonardo.

However, when she arrived at the entrance of Leonardo's office, she was stopped by his secretary,
"Miss Kate, please stop. Some senior managers are reporting their works inside."

"You mean I have to wait outside?" Kate stared at that secretary. Immediately, the latter stopped
speaking, but she still blocking Kate from entering.

Then the senior managers came out.

When they saw Kate, they greeted her, "Hi, Miss Kate."



Kate nodded as usual and walked in.

As soon as she closed the door, she angrily walked towards Leonardo, "Leonardo!"

Leonardo put down the documents and looked at Kate expressionlessly.

Originally, Kate was angry and aggressive. Immediately, she calmed herself down when she saw
Leonardo's look.

"Leonardo, what do you want? Are you trying to deprive me of the power? Those shareholders are all
for profits. Are they reliable? I'm your sister, and I'm the one you should trust the most!"

When Tim was about to push open the door with the documents in his hands, he heard Kate's words.

He realized he shouldn't get in and was about to leave.

But Leonardo saw him and said, "Come in."

Tim had no choice but to come in and deliver the documents to Leonardo.

With outsiders around, Kate stopped saying what she had just mentioned.

She wanted to continue when Tim left. But when Tim was about to go out, he was stopped by
Leonardo, "Wait."

As Leonardo spoke to Tim, he ignored Kate.

Kate suppressed her anger and waited for Leonardo and Tim to finish speaking.

However, when he finished talking to Tim, Leonardo said, "Tim, get vice president out of here."

Tim knew about Leonardo's recent moves in the company.



He walked straight to Kate and politely invited her out, "Miss Kate, please leave here. Mr. Emerson is
busy."

Kate did not even look at Tim. She walked to Leonardo and threw the documents in front of him aside,
"Did you hear what I said just now?"

He walked straight to Kate and politely invited her out, "Miss Kate, please leave here. Mr. Emerson is

busy."

Kate did not even look at Tim. She walked to Leonardo and threw the documents in front of him aside,

"Did you hear what | said just now?"
