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.
