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
A headline popped out on the phone screen. It was about the fireworks at Rosales Manor that had been going on the whole night. Apparently, the fireworks at Rosales Manor had become the top trending topic right now. It was going haywire in the country.In addition to the description of the beautiful fireworks throughout the night, the news had begun a widespread speculation about the identity of the owner of Rosales Manor, as well as the reason he or she was doing it. The news editor had listed down all the nobilities in Atlantis to find out the owner’s real identity, and the list included the young master of Dragon Group.As for a reason, the owner kept the fireworks going all night long around Rosales Manor, the news editor guessed that the owner was trying to woo his beloved with the fireworks.Moreover, countless netizens were sharing their opinions on this matter in the comment section below. “If the owner is really doing it for a girl, I can’t deny that I’m so envious of
“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
When the time had come, Emily Quest could bully and torture Xyla Quest any way she wanted.Xyla would be at her mercy, just like a plaything in her hand!“Hahahahaha…” Emily started to laugh maniacally, her hands over her mouth.How long had it been since she was this happy? It had been way too long!Excitement engulfed her whenever she imagined the endings that might be happening to Xyla.Buzz… Buzz… Her phone vibrated again at that moment.The man who had called her just now sent a picture of Stanley Batton to her on WeChat.There was a tanned, skinny man in the picture. Besides, one of his eyes was blind, and he looked extremely hideous.Upon seeing that face, Emily felt like she was going to vomit the next second.“Xyla Quest… Your cravings for love and affection must be really strong back then. Why would you go for a man like this? Tsk Tsk Tsk…”After having a whale of a time laughing at Xyla, Emily decided to call May Conner and share the good news with her.May picked
The call was made by Stanley Batton.“Have you woken up yet?” Stanley asked with a loving and gentle tone.On the other end of the phone, Stanley was currently holding his phone and talking to her while heading to the elevator, tenderness crept all over his eyes as well as his brows.He was dressed in a snow white dress shirt with a pair of black trousers. The golden ratio of his body was outlined most vividly by the outfit, and his long legs had garnered a lot of attention from the crowd.The first three buttons of his shirt were unfastened, causing the red marks on his neck exceptionally obvious and clearly visible.When the two little girls at the front desk, as well as the workers who passed by him saw his appearance, their face was as horrified as they just saw a ghost.However, Stanley was like the only man on the island. Without paying any heed to the whispering passerby, he waited for Xyla to speak patiently.“Yeah, I just woke up,” answered Xyla.“I just arrived at the
Nevertheless, Emily Quest could not find anything to eat even though she had searched the whole kitchen. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of some perfectly untouched sunny-side-up and sandwiches in the trash can.Pfft…Did Bailey Ronson just throw away her breakfast?Speechless with Bailey’s vileness, Emily stomped her foot furiously in the kitchen. However, she managed to regain her composure within a second or two and returned to Bailey’s side with a depressed face again. “Mom, I’m going to visit Mary Sullivan later. Can you go with me?” “Go by yourself if you want to. Why should I go with you?” Bailey snarled, her attitude as cold-hearted as usual. Emily snorted and pretended to accidentally drop her phone on her yoga mat.As the phone landed on the yoga mat, Bailey’s face darkened instantaneously. She picked up the phone and glared at Emily, “What’s wrong with you?”When Bailey stole a glance at the phone screen, she was frozen to the ground. A picture of a man and its h
Immediately, Emily Quest slid her phone into her pocket. “I’ve already deleted the picture before I explain everything to you. There’s no point snatching my phone now.”“Why did you do that?” Bailey Ronson’s face was filled with fury. “It’s because I’m afraid that you won’t keep your words. I told you that I’m not going to go against Xyla Quest anymore. I’m tired.” Emily added, “I’m telling you because I’m afraid that you’ll kick me out of the house. I don’t have any other intentions.”With that out of the way, Emily secretly tapped the screen of her phone in her pocket.Her phone stopped recording their conversation.It was for back-up purposes. To have the sound recording in her phone, she would have evidence to excuse herself from the trouble in case things went bad.Everything was going exactly according to her mother’s plan.“You better recover that picture right now and send it to me. Otherwise, I won’t let you off the hook!” “I hope that you will keep the promise. If y
