Predestined Marriage novel Chapter 24

At the restaurant.

 

Vicky placed her bag on the table and raised her chin and spoke arrogantly to Summer, “Say what you want, I have a date with Jerome”

 

She looked at her newly manicured fingers as she spoke.

 

She glanced at Summer who has always looked the same, the long dress, unhealthy skin, thick-framed black glasses, ugly as a toad.

 

To think that this woman wants to compete with her for a man!

 

Only those fools on the internet will believe it.

 

Summer closed her eyes and held on to her glass. She rubbed her hands on the glass and then she saw that man came in 

and took a seat behind her.

 

She casually sent out a previously composed message, Let's begin.

 

These series of actions were done carefully which was why Vicky didn’t notice it.

 

Summer looked at Vicky and said, “I already apologized on the social media. Please don’t make things difficult for my mother”

 

She was the same as before.

 

Vicky laughed coldly. As she had expected, Summer was stupid since young. How could she have wised up overnight?

 

“I can go easy on Karen but on one condition,” Vicky crossed her hands and smiled as she won.

 

“What ... what condition?” Summer asked nervously.

 

“Stupid, why are you so concerned over Karen, she has never regarded you as her daughter.”

 

Summer's hands which were on her lap tightened up and her knuckles started to turn white. She said bitterly, “She is my 

mother no matter what. Even if I knew that it was because of you that she begged me to get married to Leonardo, III still agree with it”

 

Vicky can't stand seeing Summer helpless and weak. When they were young, Summer's studies were better than her and she was prettier than her. That's why she hated her.

 

Thereafter Summer became ugly and dumb and she hated her even more.

 

She felt embarrassed to have a sister such as her.

 

But then, at least Summer was obedient as a dog who she can make use of.

 

Vicky smirked, she said softly but venomously, “You are as much of a slut as your mother”

 

Summer was shocked. Karen married into the Jarrett family for twenty plus years and she slogged to take care of Vicky. In the end Vicky was not appreciative but called her a slut!

 

“You can say what you want about me but please don't say that about my mother. She was genuinely good for you.’ Summer was hurt and reminded her softly. How could Vicky listen to Summer's words? She stared at her and yelled, “Shut up! You don't have to meddle about my matters. Now you can only do one thing, divorce Leonardo.’

 

“Divorce?” Summer stared with her eyes wide open.

 

She was half genuine and half pretending.

 

Summer could anticipate what was her motives before Vicky said.

 

The Emersons don't care who married Leonardo but they definitely cannot accept Summer reneging on her agreement, 

especially when she was “dumb and ugly” and unpresentable.

 

If she were to mention divorce, it would be an insult to the Emerson family.
