Stanley ignored Summer's question and instead asked, "Is Rosie asleep?"
The reason why he changed the topic was so obvious, it was clear that he didn't want to explain it to
her.
Stanley looked like a pushover, but if he didn't want to say something, no one could change his mind.
Summer stood up and walked out without waiting for a moment.
When she turned around, Stanley was a little unhappy, and said in a depressed tone, "Summer, you
wouldn't sit down and drink a glass of water with me now?"
"I'm going to see if Rosie is awake." Stanley had just used Rosie to change the topic, and Summer had
also used the same way to change the topic.
Seeing that Summer was about to leave, Stanley immediately stood up and shouted, "Summer!"
There was a rare sulk in his voice.
Summer could only stop on her way out and said in an impatient tone, "If you have something to say,
please finish it at once."
Stanley walked around the sofa to her with a gloomy face. He stared at her and said, "Summer,
Leonardo can give you a privileged life with a bunch of servants, so can I. What he can give you, I can
also give you, and I can even give you more!"
Summer heard the oddity in his words and involuntarily stepped back, "What do you mean?"
Now, she could no longer understand Stanley's words.
Stanley took half a step forward, trying to get closer to her, but after Summer realized his intentions,
she quickly took another two steps back and extended her hand to block him, "Don't beat around the
bush."
"Alright, then I'll be straight with you." Stanley's eyes flashed with displeasure, but he was not angry. He
was not someone who could easily get angry.
"You know Leonardo better than me. He blows hot and cold, and it's too hard to get along with him.
You'll be much more relaxed with me. I don't mind what happened between you and him. I could treat
Rosie as if she were my own child."
After Stanley finished speaking, he reached out to touch her again.
Summer quickly dodged and glared at Stanley, "Are you crazy?"
"You can think about what I said. I'm more suitable for you than Leonardo. Didn't we get along well and
happily during the past few days?"
Stanley saw that Summer had been indifferent, and her eyes became somewhat anxious.
Summer did not know why Stanley had such thoughts. She felt that Stanley's statement was ridiculous,
"Are you finished now? Can I leave now?"
The Stanley in front of her was far from the Stanley Summer knew. Summer was even willing to believe
that he was only Connel, not Stanley.
However, he was indeed Stanley. Even if Stanley and Connel had the same face, their personalities
were different.
Summer passed him and was about to walk past him, but he grabbed her wrist.
Summer struggled, but did not break free of his wrist. She turned her head to look at Stanley and said,
"What else do you want?"
The impatience in her tone angered Stanley. In the past, Summer had never spoken to him in such an
impatient tone.
Stanley smiled softly. However, it was obvious a happy smile.
"I forgot to tell you something." Summer stopped, and Stanley naturally let go of her.
He turned around and walked to his desk. He took out a newspaper from under a pile of documents
and handed it to Summer, saying, "Don't you want to see the news about Leonardo?"
Looking at Stanley's expression, Summer knew he had no good intentions.
During this period of time, she lived here. She did not have a mobile phone, nor did she have a
computer to surf the Internet. She had almost cut off all contact with the outside world, so she could not
get any news at all.
Now that Stanley said that there was news about Leonardo in this newspaper, Summer naturally
wanted to read it.
She only hesitated for two seconds before taking a glance at Stanley and picking up the newspaper.
Leonardo was a wealthy businessman. The Emerson Group had many industries. Not only was the
Emerson Group famous at home, it also had many industries and businesses abroad.
However, Leonardo rarely interfered in foreign businesses personally.
In the business circles at home and abroad, Leonardo was an influential person, and it was normal for
the media to pay attention to him.
However, at this critical juncture, he appeared on a foreign newspaper...
Summer glanced at the newspaper and saw the photos that took up almost half of the page, as well as
the enlarged and bold headlines.
"A car accident occurred early this morning on XX bridge. One of the car owners was confirmed to be
Leonardo, CEO of a multinational group..."
The photos in the newspaper were taken at the scene of the car accident, and the photos of Leonardo
were clearly taken in the past.
Summer's expression suddenly changed. She quickly scanned the news. The news wrote at the end,
"Currently, Mr. Emerson is being treated secretly in a hospital. The exact condition of his injuries has
not been revealed to the media."
"A car accident..."
Suddenly, Summer noticed the date on it and realized that it was actually two days ago!
Summer suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Stanley, "Did you come clean with me
because of Leonardo's car accident? How is he now?"
The matter of Stanley revealing his identity to her was too sudden. If Leonardo really was hospitalized
in a car accident, it all made sense now.
During this period of time, Stanley had been silent. He suddenly revealed his identity and said these
ambiguous words. Summer found it strange.
But now that she saw the newspaper, she understood everything.
Stanley felt something had happened to Leonardo. She had no one to look to, so he said these words
to her.
Thinking of this, Summer sneered, "The car accident has something to do with you, right?"
Stanley forced a smile. "Summer, am I that despicable in your heart? You know that my other identity is
a PhD in psychology. I am a relatively authoritative expert in psychology in Country M. As a public
figure, how could I do such a thing?"
Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Summer didn't ask any more questions and looked at the
newspaper.
The photos on it were black and white. It was a mess, and nothing could be seen.
How did Leonardo suddenly get into a car accident? Did he get seriously injured?
Stanley stared at Summer and said meaningfully, "You must be worried about him."
"If I said yes, would you let me see him?" Summer looked up and asked him expressionlessly.
Stanley crossed his arms and raised his eyebrows at her, "You can try begging me. Maybe I'll agree."
Summer sneered, cast a cold glance at him, and then turned around and left with the newspaper in her
hand.
Back then, she had let Stanley take her away, so she naturally wouldn't beg Stanley to go back to see
Leonardo now.
