"See you later."
Summer's gaze landed on Leonardo. Even when she was speaking, she didn't move her eyes away. However, Jessica knew Summer was talking to her.
"Excuse me." Stanley nodded to Jessica before walking towards Leonardo together with Summer.
Jessica widened her eyes. She watched helplessly as Summer took Stanley's arm and walked towards Leonardo. She was dumbfounded.
She whispered, "Summer? What are you doing?"
Normally, Summer was kind and softhearted. Only when she was in rage would she do something to fight back.
Apparently, the quarrel between Leonardo and Summer this time was not that simple.
Leonardo even allowed Amber to sit beside him, which truly irritated Summer. Otherwise, she wouldn't go to him together with Stanley.
Jessica felt Summer was actually acting childish.
However, she also felt thrilled when imagining Leonardo's furious expression the moment he saw Summer and Stanley together.
When Summer heard Jessica's words, she turned around and smiled to comfort her. She wanted Jessica to know that she was aware of what she was doing.
So, Jessica had no choice but to give up persuading her. She hid herself among the crowd, ready to enjoy the fun.
Just now, Summer was standing in the corner with Jessica. Everyone present was busy paying attention to Leonardo, so naturally, no one saw her.
Now that she had walked out of the corner and was heading straight for Leonardo, Summer naturally became the focus.
"Who's that? She is kind of pretty!"
"I think I've seen her somewhere."
"Gosh, it's Summer Jarrett, Mr. Emerson's ex-wife! Don't you recognize her?"
"The one who went viral online?"
"How shameless is her! It's been more than three years since they divorced. Mr. Emerson already has a fiancee now. Why is she still clinging to him?"
"Mr. Emerson specially hosted this party, and his father and his fiancee are both present. Is he going to get engaged?"
"Then I don't get the chance anymore?"
"Well..."
Summer held Stanley's arm and walked forward without looking sideways. She could clearly hear what these women were talking about. She also knew exactly what they were thinking.
As the person involved, Summer knew very well what had happened. These people's comments could not affect her in the slightest.
After Amber sat beside Leonardo, she had been whispering something.
Amber was already thirty years old. She behaved elegantly and her sitting there was rather pleasant to the eyes.
Leonardo did not speak to her, but he did not show any impatience either. He was as indifferent as usual. However, when he turned his head and saw Summer walking towards him arm in arm with Stanley, he immediately narrowed his calm eyes. Inside his deep eyes, there seemed to be a sudden surge of darkness.
Summer and Leonardo looked at each other from afar, and then moved their eyes away in tacit understanding.
Summer lowered her head slightly and turned up the corners of her lips. However, she was not smiling.
