"Lester said he will let you go if I come." Stanley stood there and spoke to Summer with a peaceful
expression. His tone sounded very natural as if there was nothing wrong with his words.
Summer was momentarily dumbfounded. She moved her lips, but not a word had managed to come
out of her mouth.
Stanley shouldn't act like this.
He shouldn't have come either.
He shouldn't be here.
No wonder Lester was surprised before. Summer did not expect that the one who came here would be
Stanley.
A sound came! Lester clapped his hands.
Summer turned around and saw Lester clapping his hands with a smile, "So touching."
"You are very surprised, right?" Lester turned to Summer and said with a smile, "That's understandable.
When I heard that Stanley was here, I was also shocked, but..."
He paused for a moment before turning to Stanley, "I am also disappointed. I have never taught you to
be so stupid. I taught you to be calm and make wise choices. I taught you not to be affected by your
feelings. Don't be emotional. You did very well in the past, but now you have forgotten everything I
have taught you."
Lester looked serious. Maybe Stanley truly disappointed him. Stanley turned to look at Lester, but he
was wearing an extremely cold expression.
He only said three words, "Let her go."
"Since you're here, I'll keep my promise and let her go." Lester suddenly changed the topic, "However,
letting her go comes at a price. Otherwise, I don't have to ask you to be here, right?"
"Tell me what you want." Stanley walked up to Lester and said expressionlessly.
"Let's settle things between you and me one by one," Lester said slowly. After that, he pondered for a
moment, and continued, "There are too many things between us. For a while, I don't know where to
start. Let's start from the simplest: Kneel and admit your mistakes."
Lester's tone was extremely gentle. He sounded like a magnanimous person.
When Summer heard his words, she almost burst into laughter out of anger.
Stanley remained silent and looked towards Summer. Summer shook her head. Her movement was so
slight that others would not notice that if they were not looking at her attentively.
After so many years, things between Stanley and Lester were simply too complex. Lester made
Stanley's life a tragedy. Stanley hated him and wished Lester dead long ago.
However, Lester regarded Stanley as a tool that he had painstakingly cultivated, and this tool betrayed
him. As a result, he wanted to punish Stanley severely. Lester wanted Staley to taste pain worse than
death.
Back then, before Stanley escaped, he was beaten and tortured. But Stanley did not say a word to beg
for mercy. Physical torture was nothing to a strong-willed person.
Now, Stanley came here for Summer. At this moment, Lester asked him to kneel and admit his
mistakes.
Even though their friendship had gone, Summer couldn't watch Stanley lose his dignity for her.
Stanley did not owe her anything. Instead, she owed Stanley her life.
Stanley's gaze only stayed on Summer for two seconds before turning around. He looked at Lester and
said calmly, "I will kneel and admit my mistake after you release her."
"Bargain with me?" Lester asked mockingly.
Stanley did not say anything. He was in a stalemate with Lester.
Lester took a deep breath and said slowly, "Alright, since you are willing to admit your mistake, I
promise, as long as you kneel before me and say you are wrong, I will untie her."
