All the servants in the villa walked out to welcome Lester.
Summer sat by the window alone. She looked calm, but she was actually overwhelmed by anxiety. It wouldn't be Leonardo. It definitely wouldn't be him!
Not long after, a series of footsteps sounded behind her. Irregular footsteps suggested that many people entered.
"Ms. Summer, come out and meet your old friend." Lester's voice came from behind her.
Summer stiffened for a moment and slowly turned the wheelchair back.
Dropping her eyes, she didn't look up until she turned around. Firstly, Lester came into her view. In an elaborate suit, Lester looked like a gentleman. But in fact, he was actually an evil man.
Behind Lester was a group of servants and subordinates. Summer did not see the so-called friend. Summer's eyes flashed with surprise.
Lester accurately captured the surprise in Summer's eyes. He smiled and said, "I asked my man to wash him before taking him to see you, so as not to scare you."
Summer's fingers on the armrest of the wheelchair tightened slightly. Her heart was in her mouth again. She gradually calmed down and regained some composure.
A long time ago, she learned from Trevin that Lester admired Leonardo very much. Therefore, if the person who came was Leonardo, Lester would not do anything to him, let alone ask his man to give the one a wash.
Before Summer could make a new guess, two of Lester's subordinates walked in with the people on their shoulders.
Lester raised his hand slightly and the two subordinates threw someone in front of Summer.
Summer looked up at Lester. Lester still looked like an elegant gentleman with a faint smile on his face, as if the miserable state of Stanley in front of him had nothing to do with him.
Summer was shocked and turned to look at Stanley again.
She should have thought that it was Stanley. Back then, she received the news of Lester's death suddenly. Later, she knew that Lester's death might have something to do with Stanley. Although Lester faked his death, he definitely wouldn't let Stanley off.
Stanley was good at camouflage and probably learned it from Lester. Telling from all sorts of hints, Lester should be more savage and inhumane than Stanley.
Although Summer didn't know why Stanley wanted to kill Lester, Lester, as a ruthless man, definitely wouldn't let Stanley off. He would torture Stanley miserably.
Since Lester did not die, Stanley's ending could be foreseen.
