Stanley looked like he had suffered a huge blow. He had a miserable pale face, completely losing his vitality.
Had he always been deceiving himself?
The light in his eyes was obliterated bit by bit, and finally, he fell into a deathly silence.
Leonardo looked at him with satisfaction.
There was no trace of warmth in his eyes.
Someone who was self-conscious like Stanley cannot be easily defeated.
Even if he was knocked down a thousand times or persuaded countless times, he can still be strong as long as he thought he was right.
However, if one got right to the point and made him suspect himself, he would fall completely.
Stanley used to have a happy and harmonious family, but he was implicated by the kidnap. Leonardo could understand if Stanley blamed on him. However, Summer had nothing to do with it.
Stanley's insistence on getting Summer was just an excuse to deceive himself.
Although he had stopped thinking about that, Leonardo was still not sure whether he would have any other thoughts or not.
Leonard wanted Stanley to doubt himself and reflect on himself. Only in this way could he be freed from his reluctance toward Summer and let go of Summer.
Stanley's response satisfied Leonardo.
Leonardo raised his wrist to check the time.
Summer said she wanted to have lunch with him, and he had to go back to finish his work first.
Otherwise, his workload would double in the afternoon, which would delay his journey home.
He really wanted to sell the Emerson Group.
However, he was unable to sell it off in a short period of time, and no one could clean up such a big mess.
