"Stanley, don't you understand? No matter what you do to me or to Leonardo, I wouldn't hate you so much. You shouldn't have attacked Rosie."
Summer was always a soft-hearted person; otherwise, she would not have put up with the Jarretts for so many years. Even when she was forced to marry Leonardo, she still had illusion about Karen.
However, Stanley should never have hurt Rosie. Rosie was Summer's treasure.
Stanley remained silent for a long time. Summer was tired of dealing with him and his hypocrisy.
When she was about to leave, she heard him say, "Actually, it is Lester's fault that Bendy has turned out like that. Do you think I want this to happen? If it weren't for Lester, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"
"If I were an Emerson and had got a helping hand like Leonardo, I wouldn't have ended up here!"
"No one would say no to a decent life."
Stanley seemed to have suppressed his dissatisfaction for a long time, and finally found an outlet for it. He held nothing back.
Stanley was brainy, resourceful, and calculating, but proud. He was similar to Leonardo in this.
Even ordinary people would find it hard to show the fragile side to others, but he said everything in front of Summer.
His words faintly revealed his jealousy of Leonardo. He believed Leonardo was luckier, because Leonardo was in a better situation than him.
This was why he had been targeting Leonardo.
Stanley's family suffered a lot, and they were innocent.
