Alden only stared at Summer for a moment before he indifferently looked away.
Summer looked down slightly, and thought that Alden was as bad-tempered as Leonardo.
However, Summer understood why Leonardo was so relieved to let Alden take care of her. Alden was
so deterrent that no one dared to approach him.
Now she could enjoy silent surroundings. But there were always exceptions.
"Summer."
Hearing this, Summer looked up and saw Stanley walking toward her.
Leonardo said that she might meet many acquaintances, so Summer was not surprised to see Stanley.
"What a coincidence." Stanley smiled when he was in front of Summer.
Summer's expression faded as she stared at Stanley coldly.
The banquet was seemingly peaceful but actually turbulent because both Trevin and Stanley were
here.
Before Summer answered, Alden turned to Stanley and sneered, "What kind of coincidence? If
Leonardo didn't come, would you come?"
Summer paused when she heard this. Alden knew everything and dared to say anything.
"Mr. Alden, this is between me and Leonardo," Stanley looked at Alden sullenly.
"Really? Then why are you staring at Leonardo's wife? Summer won't become your wife even if you
keep staring at her." Alden slowly leaned against the sofa, completely ignoring Stanley.
Stanley was more composed than Trevin. Although his expression was sullen, Stanley showed no
obvious emotions.
Stanley said in a deep voice, "Mr. Alden, you must have misunderstood me."
"If this is a misunderstanding, then I have many more misunderstandings against you. Well, do you
want to discuss them with me?" Alden smiled mockingly.
Stanley pursed his lips and said nothing.
Stanley glanced at Summer and turned around to leave.
Summer suddenly felt that she had misunderstood Leonardo. Leonardo said that Alden liked to make
harsh remarks, which was true.
After ridiculing Stanley away, Alden seemed somewhat impatient. He didn't want to waste time on
people like Stanley. But Leonardo had trusted it to him, he had to help Summer drive them away.
Summer turned to Alden and said, "Thank you."
"There's no need to thank me. You will pay me back one day." Alden didn't look up, and said in a loose
tone.
After that, there was no more exchange between them.
After a while, Leonardo returned. Tim was behind him.
Both of them had calm expressions, so Summer could not infer what they had done.
"How are you doing?" Leonardo sat down beside Summer and ran his fingers through Summer's hair.
"I'm fine." Summer stared at him for a moment and asked, "What did you do with Tim?"
As she spoke, she subconsciously lowered her voice, because she knew what Leonardo had done was
definitely not something that could be spoken out loud.
Leonardo did not hesitate. He looked down and answered, "I'll tell you after we get back to the hotel."
Summer nodded and remembered that Alden was here. She looked around and found that Alden had
left.
Leonardo knew Summer was looking for Alden and said, "Don't worry about him."
Summer thought of what Alden had done and smiled, "I think you're right. He really likes to make harsh
remarks."
"Let's go back to the hotel." Leonardo didn't want to continue the conversation about Alden.
However, Summer was curious about Alden's wife, "What is his wife like?"
The expression in Leonardo's eyes changed, "Why did you ask me this question?"
"Let's go back to the hotel." Summer dared not to continue this conversation.
