The men downstairs kept glancing at Xyla Quest. How they wished they could sit next to her. Yet, Xyla paid them no mind. Ignoring all the eyes upon her, she lowered her head and texted Stanley Batton. “I’ve arrived.”Buzz buzz buzz… Suddenly, a message popped up on her screen, showing that there was a one hundred fifty million transaction into her bank card a minute ago. Her vision went blurry the moment she saw the number of zeros in the text message. After attentively counting them several times, she was certain that it was not her imagination but a clear-cut one hundred fifty million dollars.It must be Stanley who transferred so much money to her. She could not think of another person other than Stanley. Dumbfounded by the amount of money, she decided to text him again to ask him. However, Stanley sent her a message before she even started typing. “Go ahead and bid for the antique pieces you like or the antique pieces that Dad likes.”Xyla replied, “... But we have mon

At this moment, everyone was thoroughly shocked.When Xyla Quest fell off, Christopher Lancelot jumped down after her without caring about anything else. While holding onto a red curtain on the second floor with one hand, he grabbed Xyla’s hand tightly with his other.The instant Xyla felt Christopher’s warm hand upon hers, she found herself calming down instantly. Her thoughts also began to clear.However, her heartbeat was still beating out of control. It felt as if there was a little motor installed in her chest.Xyla would never have thought that this man would jump after her even though it was so dangerous.From the second floor, it was a long way down to the ground. Even if one didn’t die from the fall, one would end up becoming handicapped.Just like that, the two of their bodies dangled in the air. Christopher wouldn’t let go of Xyla’s hand no matter what.Due to the amount of force he was using, Christopher’s veins bulged on his neck and the back of his arm.When every

“It’s that piece of sh*t again!” Christopher Lancelot snorted coldly.He then turned to look at his subordinates. “I know what to do… You guys take Miss Xyla and Mr. Quest to the entrance of the auction house. I have something to tell this woman.”Xyla Quest didn’t know what Christopher wanted to tell this woman, but she obediently held her father’s hand and started walking out from the parking lot when she heard what he said. They were escorted by her bodyguards as well as Christopher’s men.After they had left, the parking lot was closed off once again…This was another world of its own now.While the woman trembled, she looked at Christopher and kept struggling to set herself free.“I’ve told you everything I know. Can you let me go now?” She begged.Christopher narrowed his eyes before pulling the gun away from the woman’s forehead. After that, he threw his gun in the air before catching it steadily.The woman instantly felt relief in her heart.However, Christopher’s faci

Xyla Quest nodded confidently.She felt sure that she could do a good job.“Xyla… You really do make me proud.” Jeremy Quest expressed his fondness toward Xyla openly.Xyla held onto his hand affectionately. “Dad, you make me proud too. You’ve always been my role model.”Jeremy felt overjoyed after hearing what Xyla said. “Oh, my sweet Xyla. Alright, let’s go home now. Oh yeah, thank Stan for me. I’m delighted with the antique items he bought me.”When Jeremy mentioned Stanley Batton, his face became even gentler.“Alright.” Xyla held Jeremy’s hand and walked him back to the car. They were accompanied by the ocean breeze all the way.It was very warm inside the car. Within a few seconds, Xyla felt all the coldness melt away.It had been a long day, and she felt exhausted. After sitting down in the car, she couldn’t help closing her eyes. She wanted to take a nap.When Jeremy saw this, he didn’t say anything further. He removed his jacket and covered Xyla with it.***By the

She hoped that her kiss would appease all the anger and unease in the man’s heart. When her lips met his, the man responded right away. He pulled her in and kissed her back, hungry and intense. At last, everything was out of control. The man draped both arms around her and kept their lips locked as he shuffled to the switches beside the door. Without even looking at it, he leaned his body backward and hit the switches with his back. The room turned dark instantaneously. The man then proceeded proficiently, looking sexy yet stunning in the dark. ***Meanwhile, on the other side, Sebastian Brenand found himself inside one of Sky Garden’s private rooms at Unconscious Bar. Sebastian was hugging a pretty girl lazily as he listened to her singing. The girl was singing an old song called ‘At Least I Left Earlier Than You’. The girl clung to his chest, feeding him some red wine while singing softly. “Have you ever thought of the reasons I broke up with you? Maybe you’re
