Chapter 717 The Opposite Extremes

Prev Chapter Next Chapter

"I hope I could have the honor to have a moment with you again." Trevin said as he raised his glass, "I

gotta go. Excuse me."

Summer smiled, "Goodbye."

Trevin took a sip of wine and looked deeply at Summer. Then he left, smiling. Several steps later, he

turned around and winked at Summer.

People at Trevin's age didn't usually do winking. But when Trevin did it, it didn't look weird at all.

Summer curled her lips into a smile. What a young man!

If one said Summer gave Trevin a perfunctory grin, then Trevin gave a truly happy smile back.

Eliza was dumbfounded as if it was a bolt from the blue. She whispered to Summer, "You don't like that

man, do you? He is a playboy. I can see it at once."

"I know." Summer turned to look at Eliza with a smile, "Everyone can tell that he is a playboy, but some

women just throw themselves to him, don't they?"

"Are you serious? Are you saying you like him?" Eliza widened her eyes. She could not believe that

Summer would fall for such a man.

Trevin and Leonardo were just like the opposite extremes! She did not believe that Summer would like

a man like Trevin.

"It must be very pleasant to be with him." Summer sounded rather serious.

Eliza drank up the water in the cup and said, "Then it must be heart-breaking to be dumped by him."

Summer smiled, "I know."

When Eliza didn't know what to say, someone came over to say hello.

Summer walked to the side and checked Trevin's business card again.

A few seconds later, Summer muttered his name, "Trevin Wolf."

She put the card back in her bag, walked to a chair in a corner and sat down. She took out her phone

and Googled a name called "Lester Wolf."

Lester was a famous Asian philanthropist and Stanley's adoptive father. But she knew from the report

that he had passed away a year ago.

Leonardo told her the news when she was abroad. She had read Lester's profile and saw a photo of

him and his son.

There were a lot about Lester on the Internet. It took Summer a while to find an inconspicuous news

article.

"Except many children he adopted, Mr. Trevin has a son of his own named Trevin, who is smart since

childhood..."

Trevin... Was he the man she was looking for?

When Summer first saw Trevin, she found him familiar. That was why she acted interested in him

rather than leaving without saying anything.

If Trevin was Lester's son, there would be one more path to investigate about Leonardo's mother.

When Leonardo found out that Lester was Stanley's adoptive father, Lester died soon. And this channel

was blocked. Stanley was difficult. Leonardo could do nothing with him.

Thinking of that, Summer couldn't help but raise her head and look for Leonardo in the ballroom.

Leonardo wasn't a party man, and yet here he came. Was he here for Trevin?

As her mind was wandering, someone sat down beside her. She thought it was Eliza, but when she

saw who it was, she was shocked.

"Stanley?"

"What? Why are you so surprised to see me?" Stanley was dressed in a light gray suit, looking clean

and gentle. He looked more like a professor. Of course he did! He managed to look like a psychiatrist

when he was a psychiatrist.

"Of course I'm surprised. Are you so bored that you even come to this party?" Summer couldn't help

but ridicule him.

Stanley had long been accustomed to Summer's sarcastic tone, so he did not mind. Instead, he replied

very seriously, "The school didn't start for a few days."

Summer felt bored, so she smiled coldly and didn't say more. She leaned back slightly and wiped the

search history before closing the page. Then she put the phone away.

On the other side, Eliza also ended her chat. She turned around and saw Summer, so she walked over.

Noticing Summer and Stanley had a chat just now, Eliza asked Summer when she came over, eyeing

him, "Who is this?"

Knowing that it was impossible for Summer to introduce him, Stanley offered her his hand, "Glad to

meet you. I'm Stanley Bates."

"Me too, Mr. Stanley. I'm Eliza Austin." Eliza looked at Stanley and found that Stanley looked much

more reliable than Trevin.

With just a look, Summer knew what Eliza was thinking. However, Summer did not bother to explain.

The less outsiders knew about it, the better, though she was an outsider, too.

Eliza thought Stanley was one of Summer's suitors, so she made an excuse and left, creating an

opportunity for them.

After Eliza left, Stanley smiled, "Your partner, she looks out for you."

Stanley was so smart. How could he not see through Eliza's thoughts?

Summer only snorted and ignored him. She didn't need to think about it to know that Stanley was here

up to something else.

But what he was doing here, she had no idea. If Trevin was Lester's son, Trevin and Stanley must

know each other, for Stanley was Lester's adopted son. So, Stanley probably came to the party for

Trevin.

Ideas wandered in Summer's mind. She kept silent all this while, and Stanley sat beside her, silent, too.

"Why are you sitting next to me?" Summer finally couldn't help but ask him.

Stanley asked back, "Can't I sit here?"

"You don't come to this party for me, do you?" Summer tried to get something out of his mouth rather

than staying in a stalemate with him.

Well, at least she tried.

"Half for you, and half for someone else." Stanley laughed, so gently and warmly.

Stanley gave her a vague answer. Summer didn't beat around the bush, "Who else are you here for?

Tell me."

"I think you know." Stanley said slowly after staring at her for a moment.

Summer's heart pounded violently.

She realized that meant Stanley had been aware that Leonardo knew Lester's existence. And that

meant Trevin was Lester's biological son. Stanley was here for Trevin.
