Seeing Summer didn't even touch the teacup, Stanley wasn't angry. He just crossed his legs and reclined in the sofa in a comfortable way, looking at Summer.
"Summer, listen to me. It's useless for you to be nervous now. Leonardo hasn't found this place yet. It's clear that I have won this one."
Stanley paused and narrowed his eyes to see Summer's reaction.
Seeing that Summer still put on a poker face, Stanley's expression finally changed.
He looked a bit sterner and his tone colder, "I can give you another chance to make your own choice. What I said to you earlier still stands. After all..."
"We are perfect for each other."
Summer replied coldly, "There's no need to think about it. I don't think we're right for each other in any way."
Stanley's expression stiffened for a second. The next moment, he took a deep breath and reached out to tidy up his sleeves. He said softly and gloomily, "Let her be quiet. I don't want to hear her speak again for the time being."
Before Summer could figure out what he meant, she saw Jenny walk towards her.
"You..."
The next second, Jenny's hand struck her on the back of her neck. She passed out and fell on the sofa.
The moment before she fainted, Summer finally realized that Stanley wanted her to be quiet. And this was what he meant by "quiet".
Summer didn't know how long she had passed out.
When she woke up again, she was still in the basement.
She was lying flat on the sofa, with no blankets or quilts covering her. Even though the basement was heated, she still felt a trace of coldness.
She had just woken up, so her vision was blurry. She blinked her eyes a few times before her vision became clear again.
She saw a chandelier, and at the side was the sofa. Then she saw Stanley and Jenny standing there, not far away.
Slightly raising her head, Jenny was saying something to Stanley. Stanley curled his lips, and on the corners of his mouth was a trace of a smile.
It was perishing for Summer to see Stanley's smile. Her heart felt so heavy that she sudden came back to her senses.
Stanley turned around and said something to Jenny. Jenny's expression looked somewhat gloomy, but she still nodded.
After that, Stanley walked towards Summer.
Summer rolled over and sat up on the sofa. She looked at Stanley vigilantly.
Stanley walked to her side and sat down, reaching out to caress Summer's face. "Sorry, Jenny hit you too hard. You..."
Summer raised her head and shunned back, avoiding Stanley's hand.
Stanley glanced at his hand that was still in the air. He was slightly stunned for a moment, and then he quickly softened his expression, "It's good that you've woken up. We can leave now."
Summer was not sure how long she had slept, nor did she know what time it was. According to the situation in the basement, Leonardo still hadn't found out this place.
Jenny walked over and stared at Summer with an unfriendly face, "Do you want to leave by yourself, or should I help you?"
Summer stood up and did not say anything, suggesting that she would leave by herself.
Jenny coldly snorted and walked in front to lead the way.
Jenny led them through the basement, and finally stopped in front of an iron door. She raised her hand slightly, and some of her people took the hint and opened the door for her.
The iron door was so thick that it took two men to open it.
