The car window moved up quickly. In the end, Bailey Ronson had no other choice but to let go of the window.As soon as her hands were removed from the car window, Xyla Quest pressed the pedal to the metal, getting away from her as far as possible.On the other side, Stanley Batton was silently watching the two of them in his Bentley Arnage.Bailey walked up to the Bentley Arnage without hesitation, trying to change her target to Stanley.However, Stanley directly drove past Bailey, not even bothering to look at her.Staring at the receding cars ahead, the initial sincerity and gentleness on Bailey’s face disappeared instantly and were replaced by coldness and hatred.She stomped her foot and gritted her teeth, her hands gradually balling into fists. “Xyla, you little b*tch… I’ll definitely teach you a lesson after settling my trouble! Don’t think that I’m afraid of you.”If it was not for Xyla and Stanley having the goods on the Sullivan family, would she have to come all the wa

When the two of them stepped into the house, May Conner and Jeremy Quest were sitting on the sofa and enjoying their Chinese tea.The same gentle smile appeared on both their faces as soon as they noticed the lovebirds’ presence in the living room.However, Xyla Quest could always feel a chill of eeriness in the air no matter how gentle May tried to smile.Xyla returned the elders with a polite smile as she walked up to them, her hands tightly holding to the stunning man beside her.Stanley Batton placed the two boxes of cordyceps in front of Jeremy. “Dad, this is for you.”“Thank you, Stan… There are still plenty of tonics and supplements at home, so please don’t waste any more money on them.” Jeremy picked up one of the boxes and studied it carefully.Though Jeremy did not show it, he was delighted to receive a gift from his daughter and son-in-law, just like any other parents out there.Looking at their touched and happy faces, May felt very much like an outsider.Her mood w

At this point, Xyla Quest could quickly figure out the real intention behind Emily Quest’s apology. All Emily hoped was that Xyla could let the Sullivan family off the hook this time upon their reconciliation.In addition, it was still a mystery whether Emily was involved in last night’s incident or not.Xyla did not answer her. She continued to stare at Emily silently, her eyes calm and emotionless.“Sister, you’re my sister, after all. We’re related by blood. Can you please forgive the Sullivan family for the sake of our relationship? You know that my life depends on them as well. If they’re good, I’m good. Conversely, if their company is going downhill, I won’t get any better too.” Emily choked with sobs. “Besides, my mother-in-law has already admitted that she was at fault.”“I don’t care about the Sullivan family’s condition. As long as your father is here, you’ll be fine.” Jeremy Quest interrupted her briskly and continued, “I’ve been lenient with you in many things because o

“I think she should look at least as pretty as Xyla Quest, right?”“Don’t beat around the bush, you all. Just say that you’re jealous of Xyla Quest because she can be friends with Josh Batton.”Xyla Quest did not notice it, but her soft lips had stretched to a smile again as she scrolled through the comment section.After briefly reading a couple more comments, she exited the app and glanced at Stanley Batton. “Speaking of which, let’s go to your parents’ house tonight. I want to talk to Dad.”Stanley’s eyes were brimmed with curiosity. “Why? What’s the matter?”“Here’s the thing. Your brother came to me this morning, hoping that I could do him a favor. He asked me to persuade Dad to go to his concert… He wants to prove to Dad that his job isn't just about looking handsome… He wants him to notice his hard work,” explained Xyla.“Okay, then. We’ll have dinner at my place tonight,” Stanley said.“Alright, sure.”Stanley decided to pull up by the roadside when he passed by a bubbl

The lovebirds shared the same straw and drank the same cup of bubble milk tea in full view of the crowd. All the employees at the entrance cringed at the intimacy between the two of them.“I thought our President doesn’t like sweet drinks?”“I thought so too. I’ve never seen our President drink bubble milk tea.”“Oh gosh, I’m going to die… They’re too sweet. I feel so jealous of looking at them.”Whisper and exclamation rounded the employees as they walked into the building.With the crowd’s attention, Stanley Batton held Xyla Quest’s hand and led her into his company.“Are you sure you don’t want it anymore?” He peeked at the nearly finished bubble milk tea in his hand and asked Xyla.“Yes,” Xyla said.The two of them held hands all the way to the exclusive elevator used by Stanley.He threw the empty cup into the trash can beside the elevator before entering the elevator with Xyla.After the elevator door clicked shut behind them, Stanley abruptly stretched out his long arm
