Predestined Marriage
Chapter 610 Stanley Is Invited

The basement was so quiet that the sound of moving air couldn't be heard.

Leonardo remained silent for a long time.

Normally, Leonardo should have already lost his temper, or at least he would say something.

However, to his surprise, Leonardo did not say anything.

After a long silence, Tim even thought that Leonardo hadn't heard him. But he finally said in a low voice, "I'll replace her."

His voice was very soft, as if he was whispering to someone.

However, the basement was too quiet, so Tim could clearly hear what Leonardo said.

Afterwards, Tim and Leonardo searched in the basement to see if they could replace any clues.

After looking around, there was nothing in the basement except for some daily necessities and food.

"Stanley is too cunning. If I have known it earlier, I would have investigated his background." Tim was angry.

Everyone knew Leonardo had a bad temper. Now, even Tim couldn't help but get angry, however, Leonardo said very calmly, "Let's go."

"Mr. Emerson?" Tim cried out in surprise.

Leonardo turned around and said coldly, "Do you want to be buried here?"

Tim hurriedly followed.

When they left, Tim couldn't help but look at Leonardo.

He felt that something was different about Mr. Emerson. Why did his temper suddenly change for the better?

They got on the car, and Leonardo sat behind Tim. He still stared at the ruins when he was in the car.

Leonardo didn't turn around and start talking until he couldn't see the remains of the villa.

"Everything is Stanley's doing. Hypnotizing me and deceiving Summer to lure us to Country M were all in his plan. Perhaps..."

He suddenly stopped.

Tim looked at Leonardo in confusion from the rearview mirror and saw a sneer on his face. "Perhaps he planned far more than we imagined."

Tim couldn't help but shiver. Then, he said, "Since Stanley has something to do with the gunshot wound you suffered back then, does this mean that he has been plotting since then?" Leonardo pondered for a moment and said, "Earlier than that."

Back then, when Leonardo suspected Michael, he was shot.

It was exactly the gunshot that caused him to firmly believe that Michael had something to do with his mother's case.

He had always thought that the gunshot was the doing of one of Michael's men.

Michael was indeed involved in the case of Leonardo's mother. However, after he dealt with Michael, he discovered that the person who had shot him with a gun was not sent by Michael. Afterwards, he met Stanley, whose background was mysterious. Leonardo did not think that man had something to do with the gunshot that year.

Just like that, a single mistake led to the worse incidents.

Up until now, Leonardo had already understood Stanley's purpose.

Stanley was coming for him.

Rosie and Summer were just like the tools to be used by Stanley. Stanley's ultimate goal was to kill him.

Since Stanley wanted to do this, then Leonardo had to fight back.

"Then Mrs. Emerson...." Tim was still a little worried about Summer.

When Summer was mentioned, the aura around Leonardo's body became ice-cold with gloominess. He gritted his teeth and said, "He still needs Summer for now. Until his goal is achieved, Summer will not be in danger."

When Tim heard this, he thought for a moment and felt that it made sense.

However, Leonardo valued Summer so much. Now he had no choice but to watch Summer being used by Stanley. He must feel very uncomfortable inside.

Tim sighed slightly, not knowing what to say.

A few days later, the richest man in Country M announced that there was going to be a birthday party.

Before the news was released, the guest list had already been leaked.

Countless people wanted to attend such an upper-class dinner party.

The list included celebrities from all walks of life, as well as wealthy individuals from all over the world.

Leonardo was the first to receive the invitation letter.

Although he had given the Emerson Group to Summer, this had not yet been made public.

Even if it was made public, with Leonardo's influence, receiving an invitation letter was not strange at all.

Just after he received the invitation letter, Tim hurriedly came back from outside.

Tim walked over to Leonardo with a serious expression and whispered, "Mr. Emerson, according to a reliable source of information, Stanley has also been invited. He has great authority in the psychological field of Country M."

The richest man loved talented men. Every time a banquet was held, he was eager to invite all the famous people from all over the world.

To put it bluntly, it was a large-scale exchange party, and many people were willing to participate.

When he received the invitation letter, Leonardo did not intend to go at the beginning.

However, the information that Tim had brought was undoubtedly explosive news.

"Is it confirmed?" Leonardo didn't want to hear such words as "according to a reliable source of information." What he wanted to hear was a confirmed answer.

Tim's expression froze.

Suddenly, Tim's phone rang.

He glanced at Leonardo and saw that he was expressionless, so he took out his phone and answered it.

After hanging up the phone, a trace of certainty appeared on Tim's face. "Mr. Emerson, the information is confirmed."

Leonardo tightened his grip on the invitation letter, and the gilded invitation letter was squeezed into a ball.

Then, his fingers loosened again, and his deep voice carried a cold aura. "Get ready for the birthday party."

"Yes!"

The day before the banquet, Carl suddenly came to Country M.

He was accompanied by Warren and Jessica.

Jessica had been very busy recently and did not know Summer's situation at all.

It was only when she was about to arrive in Country M that she vaguely heard something about Summer. However, she was still unclear about the details.

As the CEO of Tip Top Media Company, Carl was naturally invited. As for Warren, he was an acclaimed lawyer in the law industry, and enjoyed a high reputation in the world. It was normal for him to come.

So far, Jessica had become popular in the entertainment industry. His reputation and acting were not bad, but she was not qualified to be invited. She could only come with Carl.

Naturally, she didn't come here for the birthday party, but for Summer.

After Jessica entered, she asked, "Where's Summer?"

However, when her gaze met Leonardo's ice-cold gaze, she was instantly scared.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
