"What do you think?" Connel put up Stanley's signature smile.
Stanley's face and those moments related to Stanley flashed in Summer's mind.
When she woke up from the hospital bed, Stanley stood by her bed and smiled.
When Vicky tampered with the brake on her car, Stanley told her to jump off the car.
And more…
In her memories, although Stanley had some ulterior motives, he had never done anything to hurt her.
It was very difficult for her to relate the Stanley in her memories with the man in front of her.
After a while, Summer resolutely said, "You are not Stanley!"
Connel smirked, his eyes filled with sympathy, "Women are always deceiving themselves. How pitiful
and cute you are!"
His tone was almost a sigh, filled with pity and arrogance. At this moment, Connel looked extremely
unfamiliar. Summer was increasingly unwilling to believe that he was Stanley.
Seeing the resistance in Summer's eyes, Connel straightened his clothes and stood up. He took a
brutal tone, "If I weren't Stanley, would Rosie be close to me? Children are much more sensitive than
adults."
Summer's face was filled with astonishment.
Rosie said that Uncle Stanley was Uncle Stanley. In her eyes, there was only one Stanley. There was
no Connel at all!
Summer's mind went blank for an instant.
She reached for the teacup, her plain white fingers trembling slightly.
Connel invited Summer to have some tea right after lunch. They spent the whole afternoon together.
Half an hour ago, Connel sent the servants who made tea for them away and now the tea was
completely cold.
After drinking a cup of cold tea, not only was her stomach cold, Summer felt that her limbs and bones
went cold as well.
Stanley was Connel and Connel was Stanley. There was no Connel in this world.
She finished her tea but didn't put down the cup, her finger clenched tightly around the handle of the
cup.
Summer still held on a shred of hope and asked, "But you do have a twin brother!"
"Speaking of this, Leonardo's subordinates were to blame." Connel looked calm," I do have a twin
brother. But you need to figure out if he's alive or dead."
Summer was stunned for a moment before she muttered, "That's it..."
So it was like this. How could someone as intelligent and capable as Stanley be easily taken away
without any traces?
At that time, all the evidence showed that Connel did exist, and Stanley truly disappeared. That was
why Summer believed that Connel really existed.
"The person I saw in the Golden Cauldron Club was you?"
Summer stared at Connel. Her tone wasn't as calm as usual.
After the truth came out, Connel ... No, Stanley stopped pretending.
He acted like the same gentleman who Summer knew in the old days.
"Summer, I am a psychiatrist. Every expression and every movement of yours is revealing your truest
thoughts. I only need to guide you to do what I want."
"Controlling the minds of people is the most difficult and the simplest thing."
It could be told that Stanley's tone was somewhat proud.
Summer laughed. First, she laughed in a low voice, and then she laughed loudly.
Stanley was confident and calm at first. He wanted to see Summer's face full of panic and unbelief, but
Summer only laughed.
His expression immediately dulled. The hypocritical gentleness that covered his face was torn off
again. He said sullenly, "What are you laughing at?"
"Controlling people's minds? Guiding them?" Summer shook her head, laughing so hard that tears
almost came out of her eyes.
"Stanley, do you think you're so good? Do you feel so accomplished when you make a fool out of me?"
As Summer spoke, she laughed again. Her laughter was filled with mockery.
Stanley's face turned cold, but he did not interrupt Summer and waited for her to finish her sentence.
Summer stood up and looked at him, "I owed you my life. If you want me to do something for you, I
won't refuse your request as long as you tell me. Even if you want my life, I will die for you. This is what
I owe you!"
"You think you're controlling the people's minds?" Summer smiled self-deprecatingly. "Do you know
what I was thinking when I came to Country M? I was worried that something happened to you. You
don't have any other friends in Hoover City. You said that we were like Damon and Pythias. Even if I
knew you might have other motives, I still chose to believe you!"
"I believe you won't do anything to hurt me!"
"But what are you doing?" Summer first asked in a low voice, then exploded.
She pointed at Stanley and shouted, "You are trampling on my heart! You trampled on my trust under
your feet brutally!"
After Summer finished speaking, she took a deep breath to calm herself down, "If I knew it earlier, I
would rather you didn't save me, I would rather die in that explosion on the island!"
She shouted in a fit of pique. Struggling for survival was a human instinct. However, what Stanley did
made her feel extremely disappointed.
Her heart always seemed to be trampled on by others, except for Leonardo.
He was not a good person, but he was frank and straightforward.
He responded to her sincerity and cherished her.
Even if he was a bad man inside out, he was a bad man with courage and righteousness.
This fact alone suggested Stanley would never be able to compare to him!
"Didn't you ask me what I like about Leonardo? Let me tell you right now! It's not a crush, but love. I
love his honesty. Even if you threatened him with his mother's news, he never thought of using me!"
The confidence on Summer's face was extremely annoying.
Stanley knew that was how unwaveringly she trusted Leonardo.
"Really? If he didn't want to use you, why didn't he come to save Rosie?" The mask of gentleness on
Stanley's face had been completely torn apart. The darkness and ugliness in his heart were all written
on his face.
"Because he knew you love Rosie so much. As long as he didn't save Rosie, you would definitely not
be able to restrain yourself and took the initiative! In the end, you come to me and let me kidnap you
before I leave. It happened basically as what Leonardo planned!"
"Enough!" Summer interrupted him loudly, her hands trembling with anger.
"That's what it is. You’d better take it." Stanley's smile looked extremely cruel, "It seems like he loves
you. But he was using you and forcing you step by step. It might look like he loves you, but in fact, he is
cold and heartless. He is just like me."
