After casually tossing her phone aside, Xyla Quest looked at the handsome man in front of her. “Let’s eat out tonight.”“Okay,” Stanley Batton agreed right away.“Beep, beep, beep…” At this moment, his phone started vibrating too.He picked it up and looked at the screen.When he saw that Zack Cassidy was calling, he answered immediately.“Master Stanley, are you coming for the meeting or not? The high-level executives didn’t dare leave the office because they have been waiting for you,” Zack said.“Let’s do it tomorrow morning,” Stanley added.On the other end of the call, and in Dragon Group’s office, Zack cursed at Stanley in his heart for being a foolish man.“Alright,” Zack said respectfully.Stanley hung up the phone right away before sitting up lazily. “Let’s go. We’ll take a bath and head out,” he said.After getting up, Xyla instantly caught sight of the crisscrossed scratch marks on his back.They continued to remind her how madly she had behaved.However, Xyla di
“Is it a good idea to put on fireworks like this? I don’t know what’s the hype with this group of people here. Besides, wouldn’t it disturb people late at night?”“Tsk, tsk, tsk. The person who commented about it sure is jealous. What do you mean by disturbing people? Are there even people living around Rosales Manor? I can’t stand these keyboard warriors. Go to hell.”“I want to know who Rosales Manor belongs to within half an hour!”“I want to know who Rosales Manor belongs to within ten minutes! Also, what does it look like inside the manor?”Netizens were saying all sorts of things. Some mentioned insulting things, while others were simply shocked.A lot of people were also curious about who Rosales Manor belonged to.The show of fireworks that lasted the entire night had drawn an extreme amount of attention to Rosales Manor.Everyone was now curious about who the manor belonged to and what the manor looked like on the inside.Xyla Quest briefly looked at the comments befor
Xyla Quest glanced coldly at the two of them. Hand in hand and without warning, Xyla and Stanley Batton strode across the room and sat beside Jeremy Quest cheerfully. “Sorry Daddy, we’re late. We got stuck in the traffic.”Xyla was sitting next to Jeremy while Stanley was next to Tom Sullivan.“No worries, Xyla… We have just gotten here too,” May Conner responded with a friendly smile. Likewise, Xyla returned her a polite smile.“Are you feeling better now?” May asked again. “Yeah,” Xyla answered indifferently and showed no interest in continuing the conversation.“Waiter, the food can be served now.” Jeremy Quest casually waved at the waiter who was standing right beside their table. Though it seemed as if the waiter had just left, the dishes were prepared quickly, and their orders arrived in no time. It was a feast, indeed. There were various arrays of food on the table, ranging from seafood to all kinds of meat and vegetables. When all the eighteen dishes had been served,
Scanning the restaurant, Tom Sullivan managed to catch sight of Xyla Quest in no time. Without hesitation, he headed straight for the window where Xyla was standing. Xyla, who had already noticed Tom, whispered into her phone. “I’ll get back to you later, Georgie…”Following that statement, Xyla hung up the phone and directly headed back to the private room with a light scowl as she walked. However, Tom grabbed Xyla’s arm when she passed by him, stopping her from walking further. Even if it was just a slight contact with him, Xyla felt extremely disgusted by it.“What do you want?” she asked cold-heartedly.“Xyla, let’s have a chat…” Tom added, “I apologize to you for everything I’ve done previously… I behaved that way because I thought you orchestrated all the terrible things that happened to my family and me. I did that in the heat of the moment.“After all, I’ve got my punishment too. Can you forgive me now?” Tom blurted out everything that was on his mind, “I have hurt yo
Trash?Tom Sullivan was down in the dumps when he heard Xyla Quest called him a piece of trash.Years ago, she had treated him as a treasure. Right now, she was comparing him to trash?!“Hey Xyla, you were the one who ran after my ass every single day back then.” A wave of fury coarse through him.Xyla slowly turned to look at his desperate face, the corners of her lips curled up into a pretty smirk. “Well, there are times when we are blinded by some stupid love, aren’t we?”Satisfied with her response, she turned to face Stanley Batton again, her voice tender again. “Let’s go in, dear.”Stanley remained silent as he held Xyla’s hand and led her back to the room, paying Tom no mind as usual. Though their conversation had just ended in the blink of an eye, Tom felt that Xyla had effortlessly crushed his self-esteem. She was stomping on it repeatedly, breaking it into pieces on the ground.Suddenly, the memory of Xyla, who used to follow him around, kept flashing across his mi

“You have a problem with that?” Stanley Batton asked. “Of course, I do.”“Keep your comments to yourself then.”Xyla Quest was speechless in the end. When the two of them were back in their room, Stanley carried her in his arms and headed straight to the bathroom. Xyla already had the experience of bathing together with him. Therefore, she was not averse to the idea of showering together anymore at this point.After taking a shower, Xyla dried her hair and put on some skin care products before going to bed with Stanley.Both of them were wearing the same type of white silk bathrobe, looking exceptionally good together. They were definitely the perfect match for each other.“If you like Rosales Manor, we can occasionally stay there in the future.” Stanley pulled her onto his lap again and held her tightly from behind, his chin constantly rubbing against her earlobe.The fine stubble on his chin pricked her earlobe, making her ear numb. “Sure but… Please don’t transfer it t
Emily Quest’s heart leaped hearing the good news. “So what you’re saying is that the Stanley Batton you found out yesterday is a different person from the Stanley Batton we saw?”“Yes… Previously, I’d searched all the household registration databases around the world but I couldn’t find Stanley’s name at all. However, after Country Z updated the registry databases yesterday, I discovered that the name ‘Stanley Batton’ had been added inside. Coincidentally, he’s the same age as Xyla Quest’s husband.”“This guy is extremely ugly and he’s married. Unfortunately, there isn’t any information about his other half in the databases and this guy was engaged in Country Y…”The man continued, “There’s also another important piece of information from my investigation. I’ve been following your request to get my friend in Country Y to look into Dr. Batton’s grandson. Recently, my friend managed to get acquainted with a friend of Dr. Batton’s. He told my friend that…”“...Dr Batton’s grandson loo
