Although Jessica was afraid of Leonardo, she asked again, "What is going on with Summer?"
However, Leonardo directly ignored her words. He turned around and left.
Seeing Leonardo avoiding answering her question, Jessica became nervous as she could guess what happened.
Tim stayed to assign them to their rooms.
"Please allow me to take you to your rooms and have some rest." Tim tilted his body slightly and made a gesture.
Seeing this, Jessica could not say anything else and followed Tim to her room.
Soon, the banquet day came.
Leonardo and his companions were early. Stanley had not shown up when they arrived.
As soon as they appeared, they were surrounded by many people, as they wanted to talk to Leonardo.
Leonardo kept a low profile before he took over the Emerson Group. After that, he showed his outstanding management talents and made many people fell far behind him.
Among these people, some were jealous while others admired him.
Most of the time, Leonardo just ignored these people and left them to Tim.
He found an inconspicuous corner and sat down. He took a glass of champagne and started looking in the direction of the door.
He was waiting for Stanley.
Many people could tell that Leonardo did not want to talk to anyone, so they stopped interfering.
Not long after, the host of the banquet came to Leonardo and invited him inside.
Although Leonardo did not like this, he still had to show the host some respect.
He brought Tim in together with him, leaving Jessica and the others outside.
After last night's conversation with Leonardo, Jessica roughly understood Summer's recent situation, but she still did not know any detail. She could only wait until Summer showed up.
She heard from Tim that Stanley would bring Summer over, but she was not sure if that was true.
However, not long after Leonardo left, Stanley arrived.
Jessica had met Stanley several times, so she was the first one that noticed him.
"He is here! Stanley is coming!"
Carl and Warren were chatting about something else when they heard Jessica's voice. They looked in Jessica's direction and saw Stanley walk in.
After Stanley entered the banquet hall, he did not immediately walk inside. Instead, he paused slightly and turned to look behind.
They followed Stanley's sight and saw Summer.
Summer specially dressed up for the banquet tonight. She wore a champagne-colored shoulder-cutting gown and a pair of spiky heels of the same color. Her fair skin looked even fairer in her dress. She looked incredibly gorgeous.
Carl held the goblet and unconsciously shook it twice. He turned around and asked Warren, "Should we go over?"
Before Warren answered, Jessica said, "Let me."
Then, she went straight forward to Summer.
Carl called her behind, "Jessica!"
Jessica stepped on her high heels and walked towards Stanley without turning her head.
Carl and Warren could only follow her.
Summer reached out and hold Stanley's arm when she came over. They walked together into the banquet hall.
Seeing this, Jessica frowned and looked at Summer. She could not believe her eyes.
If what Tim said was true, how could Summer and Stanley be so close?
