Thoughts stormed in her mind, but she managed to control. She sneered, "Watch your tone. Are you
bossing me around? Do you think I am your people like Jenny?"
Stanley was silent for a moment and chuckled, "Summer, why do you think like that? I only care about
you. Leonardo is cunning and devious. I'm afraid that he will fool you."
Summer dissed back, "You're not much better than him."
Stanley managed a weak smile, "Forget it if you don't want to tell me. I won't force you. After all, we are
friends. I won't control you like Leonardo did."
Summer sneered inwardly, but her tone sounded much softer.
She sighed and said helplessly, "Since you want to know so much, I'll tell you. You'll know it one day
even if I don't tell you now."
"Don't overthink, Summer. I'm just worried about you."
Summer ignored Stanley's words, "Last night, Leonardo wanted to go to that town. I found it strange so
I followed him to see what he was going to do."
"Then what did he do?" Stanley said eagerly.
Summer told him the excuse she had made up already, "He went there to pick up Kate."
They did pick up Kate. That was true. Stanley would get the same information. As for Rosie's
whereabouts, they had always paid attention to it. Therefore, as long as Rosie did not go out, Stanley
would not know it.
But now Rosie was back in Hoover City, Stanley would probably know soon.
Hearing what she said, Stanley's tone changed slightly, "Aren't Leonardo and Kate enemies now?"
"Who knows? Find out yourself if you want to know. I just want to get revenge on Leonardo. I have no
interest in what happened between them."
After that, she hung up.
She pondered for a moment and looked up to see Leonardo not far away. She didn't know if he had
heard her conversation with Stanley just now.
Summer walked towards him and then asked, "You don't go check on Kate?"
She pointed in the direction of Kate's room.
Leonardo said nothing and led her straight to the study.
When they got in, Leonardo closed the door.
Then, he walked to the window with his hands into the pockets. He stared out of the window, looking
irritated.
"What's the matter?" Summer walked over and stood beside him.
After a while, Leonardo said, "Even if I disagreed, you just didn't give up your plans, did you?"
Summer knew Leonardo was referring to her pretending to take revenge on him and therefore
revealing the secret of Stanley.
Without the slightest hesitation, she said curtly, "Yes, I will still do so."
Seeing no reaction from Leonardo, Summer sighed slightly and said, "Especially after seeing Rosie, I
must do this. If we don't figure out what Stanley is up to, we will never get out of this nightmare."
"You just don't believe that I can handle this." Leonardo's voice was cold and dry, coated with frost.
"I've explained to you many times why I do this. It's not that I don't believe you, but I want to do
something for you, for Rosie, and for us."
"I've always trusted you, but I can't let you take everything by yourself. Stanley is now against you. He
is so calculating and shrewd, and some mysterious power is supporting him too. Only I can let his
guard down and get close to him. This is the best way."
Leonardo's face was cold while Summer was talking. Summer wondered if he had listened to her.
She knew Leonardo didn't want her to take risks.
But she had responsibilities too. She was more than a woman who needed to be protected.
She was better than this.
Knowing Summer was back in Hoover City, Jessica came right away.
"What's going on between you and Leonardo?" When they were in Country M, Jessica witnessed what
Summer did at the banquet.
Summer paused and looked her in the eyes. She said seriously, "Jessica, this is complicated. I don't
know where to start, and I don't want to get you involved."
"I'm so worried about you!" Jessica frowned and looked at her anxiously.
"Don't worry. Leonardo is here. I'm not worried with him around. Don't worry about me." Summer put on
a smiley face. "But I may be very busy these days, so don't come if there's no emergency, okay?"
"Oh, and do not contact Stanley again."
"I know." Jessica snorted, "I know he is not a good person. He'll be sorry one day."
After that, Jessica thought of something and asked, "Where's Rosie? I want to see her."
"She's asleep. Maybe another day." Summer rejected.
Jessica was never a sensitive person. She did not find anything unusual. Since Summer said that, she
didn't insist.
That night, Jessica stayed for dinner, and that was when she saw Kate.
She was slack-jawed to see Kate in Leonardo's house.
She raised her puzzled eyes to Summer. "Why was Kate here?"
Summer only shook her head, telling her she had no idea either.
Jessica's face was no longer friendly after seeing Kate.
After dinner, she stood up and said, "Summer, I'm leaving. Can you walk me out?"
Summer knew that Jessica had something to ask her, so she got up and walked her out.
At the door, Jessica looked around and pulled Summer aside, asking, "What happened to Kate?
Leonardo let her stay at his home? Has he lost his mind?"
"Kate has cancer. She hasn't much time left."
Jessica was lost for words hearing what Summer said.
The dying people were always forgivable.
Although Jessica hated Kate, she couldn't talk evil of her when she knew Kate was suffering from
cancer.
She paused for a moment and asked, "She is dying, so she wouldn't cause any trouble, right?"
Summer lowered her head and looked at her shoes, "Maybe."
Jessica snorted, "If it weren't for her, you wouldn't have been separated from Leonardo for three
years!"
