Summer indeed hated Lester. But she didn't want to vent her anger on Trevin.
Summer's expression was quite complicated and she asked, "Have you told Trevin in person that you think he is a good man?"
Lester did not expect that Summer would talk about Trevin with him. After a short moment of silence, he said, "He is only a good child. He is not as ruthless as Stanley or as smart as Leonardo. Generally speaking, I am still rather disappointed in him."
No intimacy could be felt from what he said. It seemed as if he didn't regard Trevin as his son.
It was as if Trevin was just an irrelevant person to him, who could be compared with others by Lester. In the end, Lester came to the conclusion that he was "disappointed" in Trevin.
"Are you disappointed in Trevin?" Summer's mouth twitched and she showed a mocking smile. "Well, he might be even more disappointed in you. After all, his father is someone like you."
"Being able to become my son is his fortune that he may not have if he was born in another family." Lester was obviously furious, and his gaze became sinister.
"Oh, did he say that himself?" Summer's eyebrows cocked and she pretended to be thinking. After a while, she continued, "Trevin isn't on intimate terms with you. And you don't get along well with him. Thus, you've failed to be a good father."
Lester's expression had completely changed. He was an exceptionally confident person. He wouldn't allow anyone to question what he had done.
Normally, his subordinates were respectful to him. So no one would dare to question him. Naturally, no one had ever talked about that his relationship with Trevin was not good in front of him and he failed to be a good father.
The reason why Lester mentioned Trevin was that he wanted to test Summer. In his opinion, Summer was mentally unstable right now.
Summer had been locked up for such a long time for the experiment. Just now, he said that he would bet on her life. Thus, mentioning Trevin was giving her a chance to save her life.
Lester thought Summer would give in and take advantage of the chance. However, not only did Summer refuse him, but also said he was a total failure as a father.
Lester did not like this kind of feeling. Things were out of his control and everything did not develop in the way he had expected.
