Leonardo raised his eyes slightly and looked at Summer who was staying with Stanley not far away.
After a few seconds, he slowly said, "Stanley never does anything unprepared. He was the one who released the news that he would bring Summer to this banquet."
"What is he trying to do?" Tim thought for a while and asked, "I can understand that he released the news on purpose to lure us over. But isn't he worried that we will use this opportunity to take away Mrs. Emerson?"
"Do you think Summer will come with us?" Leonardo's voice became colder, with his jaw tightened. His entire body emitted an extremely suppressed anger.
"Mr. Emerson, what you mean is..." Tim raised his head and looked in Summer's direction as he
spoke.
They all saw Summer's reaction before.
Summer was very abnormal today, as if she had turned into a completely different person.
"Is it possible that Mrs. Emerson was acting all of these for Stanley deliberately?" Tim could only think of this possibility but nothing else.
"Stanley never trusts others easily. He only trusts himself. He has been close with Summer before and knows what kind of person Summer is. Even if Summer, that stupid woman, has superb acting skills, do you think Stanley will believe it easily?"
Leonardo was very extremely calm when he said these. He was so calm that Tim was surprised.
If it was Leonardo before, let alone such a calm analysis, he would have been unable to control himself but beat Stanley when he saw Summer and Stanley standing together intimately.
"Do you mean Mrs. Emerson did not pretend at all?" Tim thought that he had guessed correctly, but Leonardo's words led to more confusion.
"If Mrs. Emerson was not acting, what would have happened to her?" Tim knew Summer well after being in contact with her for so long.
"The last time I saw Mrs. Emerson in the villa, she looked completely normal when I gave her your pen."
During the fire last time, Leonardo almost passed out because of the smoke after staying inside for too long.
Even under a circumstance like that, Leonardo still insisted on going back and find the thing he was looking for.
Tim had no choice but to knock Leonardo unconscious. He asked the bodyguards to take Leonardo away, then went back to the scene and looked for the thing for Leonardo.
He did not expect to see Summer inside.
Under the situation, he was not able to rescue Summer with Stanley's men guarding outside. Therefore, he could only give Leonardo's pen to Summer and let her wait for them to save Leonardo.
Tim knew the importance of that pen to Leonardo, so Summer should know it too.
However, only a few days later, when he saw Summer again, she was completely a different person.
Leonardo lowered his eyes slightly and said, "Hypnosis."
"Hypnosis?" Tim repeated what Leonardo said.
"Stanley never trusts others except himself.
Otherwise, how dare he bring Summer in front of me?" As Leonardo spoke, his expression became frosty.
"At the beginning, you did not remember Mrs. Emerson at all. However, Mrs. Emerson did not seem like she completely forgot us."
Tim thought about the possibility that Summer might have been hypnotized.
But Summer clearly still remembered them, so he did not pursue with this possibility anymore.
"The purpose of hypnosis is not to make a person lose his or her memory. It is more about guiding someone's mental consciousness." Leonardo stood up.
He straightened his suit and looked like he was about to leave this place.
"Mr. Emerson, where are you going?" Tim asked.
