Predestined Marriage
Chapter 508 What a Good Show

Leonardo did not say anything. He looked down slightly and landed his gaze on Summer's hand that was holding Stanley's arm.

Stanley looked up faintly. He smiled so gently and didn't show the slightest bit of offense. He said in a calm voice, "Mr. Emerson." His gentle tone seemed to have revealed other feelings. Leonardo turned up the corners of his lips coldly. He landed his gaze on Summer again.

To be frank, Summer was still a little afraid of Leonardo, especially now. However, she knew that life was always a struggle.

So, she tightened her grip on Stanley's arm again, pulling him closer to her.

Amber, who had been sitting beside Leonardo without saying a word, suddenly stood up and walked beside Leonardo. She smiled and said, "I didn't expect Leonardo to invite you. If I had known earlier, I would have greeted you so that you can save the trouble of coming to us."

The 30-year-old Amber looked no different from the person Summer remembered three years ago.

It was the first time in three years that Summer had spoken to Amber face-to-face. As Kate's friend, Amber got to know something. Summer had to give in to her. Amber purposely said that Leonardo invited Summer.

Just now, Leonardo pretended that he did not know Summer at all. In a word, Amber was trying to tell everyone that Summer had come uninvited. Moreover, she spoke as if she had taken half a step into the Emerson family.

After all, Amber came from a wealthy and noble family, so she behaved more maturely and cautiously.

She succeeded in embarrassing Summer in only a few words.

Before Summer could say anything, Stanley chuckled and said, "Miss, Mr. Emerson has invited me to this party. I was afraid that Summer would be bored by being alone, so I brought her over." Just now, Amber did not pay much attention to Stanley. After all, other than Leonardo, she never cared about any other man. Only when Stanley spoke did she turn to glance at him.

Her picky gaze swept past him, her eyes showing a trace of disdain. In her opinion, although Stanley looked handsome and had a good temperament, he was still far from Leonardo. Amber run her fingers through her hair and put on a decent smile. She said in a natural tone, "So that's how it is."

Summer noticed all the changes of expression on Amber's face. She could understand why Amber, who was highborn, looked down on her and Stanley.

After all, Amber needed to use her family background and other unimportant things to show her superiority.

Summer sneered and said intentionally, "Miss Amber, there are a lot of things that you don't know. Maybe you should ask Mr. Emerson himself."

The engagement between Amber and Leonardo had always been a rumor. Just now, Amber sat beside Leonardo, and by doing so, the rumor became a truth in the eyes of others. However, Summer and Amber both knew clearly what was going on.

Normally, not to mention talking to Leonardo, it was not easy for Amber to even meet him.

Only Amber understood the ridicule in Summer's words.

The smile on Amber's face became somewhat forced as she said, "That's true. However, Leonardo and I are usually very busy. We don't pay much attention to trivial matters of outsiders."

Trivial matters of outsiders? Summer raised her chin slightly, her eyes filled with mockery, "Really? You guys don't even have time to chat? How long before your wedding banquet? I've been waiting for it." None of the onlookers could tell the smell of gunpowder in this dialogue between Summer and Amber.

In Hoover City, many women longed to become the one and only Mrs. Emerson, yet they had never quarreled right before Leonardo. Not to mention the two women who were extremely close to him. One was his ex-wife while the other his fiancée. This was really a good show.

Amber seemed to realize that these people were enjoying her show, and her face became super ugly.

However, she still managed a weak smile at Summer. Then, she turned around and said to Leonardo in a soft voice, "A friend of mine is here. I'll go and take a look." Leonardo simply ignored her.

Amber was used to Leonardo's attitude. She stayed calm, and did not reveal a trace of embarrassment.

After Amber left, Summer turned to look at Stanley.

Although she did not say anything, Stanley understood her meaning. He nodded slightly and turned around. He was about to leave with her.

Summer was unhappy, but Amber was no better because of her. The show was over, and it was time for her to leave. However, Leonardo wouldn't let them go.

"Wait." Leonardo suddenly said. Summer stopped almost as soon as she heard his voice.

Stanley patted her hand and turned to look at Leonardo, "Anything else, Mr. Emerson?"

"I've invited you specially, Mr. Stanley. I do have something to talk to you." Leonardo was speaking to Stanley, but he involuntarily landed his gaze on Summer.

Summer was facing Leonardo when she was talking to him just now, so Leonardo did not see her back.

However, now that Summer was facing him with her back, Leonardo noticed that she was wearing an open-back evening gown.

Her gown was rather conservative compared to the other open-back evening gowns at the banquet. The back of her gown only had a V-shaped opening, and the bottom of the "V" only reached half of her back She was bold, but indescribably sexy.

Leonardo's gaze instantly became cold and fierce, along with his face. His voice was deep, and only those who knew him well could notice that he was suppressing his anger. He said, "Before I talk to you, Mr. Stanley, I have something more important to discuss with this young lady next to you."

When he was near the end of the sentence, he sounded to be gritting his teeth.

Stanley did not say anything. Instead, he turned around and looked at Summer, asking for her opinion.

"Such a pity, Mr. Emerson. I'm here because of Mr. Stanley instead of you. If there's anything else, we can talk about it later."

After Summer finished speaking, she pulled Stanley's arm and walked away.

Summer had just rejected Leonardo's request to talk, and the guests beside them were so nervous for her.

At the same time, they were quite impressed by her.

Therefore, when Summer passed by, they voluntarily made way for her.

Leonardo watched as Summer and Stanley left together arm in arm, with their backs facing him. His face remained calm, but he had clenched his hands at his sides into fists already. 'Good. Very good, Summer,' he thought.

Suddenly, Michael sneered.00☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
