At this moment, Gigi Graham was eager to teach William Jones a tough lesson in front of everyone.But she knew she couldn’t do it. She had to put up with it, or else he would make an even bigger joke out of themselves.Although Gigi did not know why, she could see that William wasn’t behaving like his usual self.Immediately, Gigi turned around, grabbed her handbag, and ran out.However, William did not instantly run after her. Instead, he looked at Stanley Batton. “I’m sorry. My wife has always been like this. Please don’t take things to heart.”“Mr. Jones, let’s have a word,” Stanley said blandly before excusing himself from the crowd and stepping outside.William quickly followed him, closing the door swiftly behind him.After they all left, people in the room began discussing much more openly.Xyla’s classmates, who had observed what happened, surrounded her and began saying bad things about Gigi.Xyla didn’t go along with what they were saying. Instead, she listened inten
“Fred Thomson was sentenced to life imprisonment!”“Robert Thomson and Fudge Thomson were also sentenced to life imprisonment!”After reading such great news, Xyla Quest’s mood seemed to be getting better.That was when Stanley Batton walked up to her and glanced briefly at her phone. He then sat down next to her. “Feeling happy?”After asking the question, his gaze swept over her face like a gentle breeze.Xyla nodded.How could she not be happy? She was delighted by what happened to the three members of the Thomson family.From now on, while the world was not thoroughly cleansed, there were at least fewer evil people, and it meant the world was a little bit better.Xyla wondered if the people victimized by the Thomson family would feel truly relieved now.Stanley did not say anything else. He simply peeled a piece of longan and handed it over to her.Some of the girls felt extremely envious when they saw that.“My boyfriend has never been this considerate to me.”“When I
“You’re welcome.” Xyla Quest shrugged nonchalantly.By then, waiters had started to serve the dishes. Hence, everyone quieted down and started to eat and drink silently.Cindy Snyder carefully tugged on Xyla’s sleeve. “Xyla… Can you really get so many autographs at once? It’s not easy to get Josh Batton’s autographs,” she whispered.“Yes,” Xyla said softly.Cindy grabbed Xyla’s hand excitedly, “Xyla, even I feel envious of myself. I can’t believe I have a friend like you,” she said.“Silly girl,” Xyla ruffled Cindy’s hair and chuckled softly.Cindy laughed along. The way she laughed was as gentle and reserved as she did before.***After dinner, Xyla and Stanley Batton walked out of the room together. They were surrounded by everyone else. The group of people went downstairs in batches.Without a doubt, Xyla and Stanley were among the first batch to head downstairs with Cindy and other female classmates, who were close to Xyla back in school.When the group arrived at the lob
“I have a pen… I have a pen…”“I’ve got one too…”The female fans around Josh Batton competed against each other to be the first to hand him a pen.While these girls only had eyes for Josh, he only had eyes for Xyla Quest. Everything else around him no longer mattered.Right then, Stanley Batton and Xyla happened to be passing by them.Josh immediately pushed the crowd aside and stood still in front of Xyla. “What a coincidence. Are you here for dinner too?”After finishing his sentence, Josh looked up at Stanley.Stanley’s gaze swept past Josh coldly. He didn’t say anything.“This is…” Josh asked as he looked at Stanley even though he knew the answer already.Although Josh and Stanley clearly looked alike, they gave off completely different vibes because of their different personalities.“My husband,” Xyla said as she continued to hold Stanley’s hand tightly with their fingers intertwined. She looked up at Stanley when she introduced him.“Oh…” Josh looked deeply at Stanley
Eventually, Stanley Batton carried Xyla Quest out of the car and carefully made his way into the house. He was gentle when he walked, and when he opened the door.Stanley carried Xyla all the way to the master bedroom. After getting inside, he pressed his back against the switch to turn on the light.The dark room became bright.When Xyla slowly opened her eyes, she realized that she was in Stanley’s arms. Her heart immediately clenched. “Why didn’t you wake me?”“I couldn’t,” he said.Xyla felt so awkward that she didn’t know what to say.What did he mean he couldn’t wake her? Was she too soundly asleep? Didn’t that mean she looked like a pig?“I must have been too tired today,” Xyla said.Stanley didn’t say anything. He softly placed her on the bed, loosened his collar, and removed a single button on his shirt.The moment he unbuttoned his shirt, his Adam’s apple moved a little. From her angle, Xyla could see how sexy his Adam’s apple was and how perfect his jawline seemed.
Once inside, Xyla Quest came across many marketing accounts’ posts of Josh Batton meeting with fans in the hotel lobby earlier.Every marketing account published similar photos and content in the form of posts cropped to nine squares.There were pictures of Josh being protected by bodyguard staff as he walked through the door, of him speaking to Xyla and Stanley Batton, and of him being surrounded by fans in the lobby as they asked for his autograph.All pictures were original, and Josh looked extremely handsome in each of them.Meanwhile, the picture of her, Stanley, and Josh together was the most good-looking picture among all of them. All three of them looked so good that passersby would probably be stunned.Xyla’s gaze lingered on that photo for a long while too.From the picture, Xyla and Stanley seemed to belong perfectly together. In fact, they even looked like a genuine married couple.When Xyla thought about it, she immediately tapped herself on the head. She couldn’t h
“I do want to go. I want to meet these new kids on the block you talked about and have a chat with them,” Xyla Quest said with a chuckle.“Well… Alright then. I’ll pick you up when the time comes,” Georgie Clementine said.“Yeah…” Xyla said as she walked into the bathroom. After squeezing some toothpaste out, she began to brush her teeth as she listened to Georgie on the phone.“I’ve read the news. The Thomson family has been given jail time. I was so happy when I read it,” Georgie said before chuckling a little.“Me too. These evil people deserved it,” Xyla said. She couldn’t help but smile.“That’s right. Later, I’ll arrange for a few people to teach Fred Thomson a lesson in prison,” Georgie added.“Alright,” Xyla said.After brushing her teeth, Xyla took a quick shower and smeared some skincare products over her body.She then walked into the closet to look for a set of pajamas.When her gaze landed on a black, golden-velvety jewelry box in the jewelry cabinet, she immediat
Georgie Clementine was finding this increasingly difficult to believe.What was going on? Was this god-like figure’s account hacked?Everybody knew that this god-like figure was the player who spent the most money on this game. He did not spend a lot of time online, and he bought most of his equipment and level progression with money.This god-like player had excellent skills, never joined any clans, and randomly played with other people. In the past, he would only bring his wife along with him when he played.However, Georgie heard from many people previously that Cloud Piercer had already broken up with his in-game-wife because she had not logged in for a long time. Cloud Piercer even divorced her after that.Subconsciously, Georgie accepted his friend request and his request to form a team with her.After that, Georgie sent a message in the team chat.“???” Extraordinary Geo asked.Meanwhile, Henry Armstrong was sitting in front of a high-class, rosewood desk in a luxurious
