The man’s eyes were full of tenderness, unlike when he was in the hall with the others just now. A mischievous smile blossomed on Stanley Batton’s face.From Xyla Quest’s angle, she could vaguely see the red mark under his collar.He looked exceptionally sexy and flirty with it.Xyla could feel her heart racing like a little girl who had fallen in love for the first time.A flutter of electricity ran through her body.Her blush had spread across her face, all the way to her neck. Her hands were wrapped around Stanley as she looked around them and frowned. “Stop it. There are people walking in and out from time to time. Don’t act like a pervert here.”The man’s eyes gradually became ambiguous. “What’s wrong with that if the target is my wife?”“Nasty.” Xyla’s face turned red again. “Hurry up and be honest with me. What happened to our marriage license? When did you get it on your phone?”“This morning. Grandpa told me that he added a picture of us onto our marriage license, so
“Since you know it’s not easy, you should’ve behaved yourself,” Stanley Batton responded half-heartedly. He looked ahead, not even bothering to glance at Tom Sullivan.Right at this moment, Bailey Ronson walked out of the hall.Seeing the scene in front of her, Bailey immediately closed the door behind her and strode toward them, coming to a halt beside Tom. Likewise, she tried to beg Stanley for mercy humbly. “Stan, please forgive me. I know that I was wrong and I’ve learnt from my mistake.”Pure disgust was all that was on Xyla’s mind as she looked at Bailey.Thinking about everything she had done at the banquet today and how she used to support Tom Sullivan to dump her, Xyla could never forgive her.Xyla’s kidney was right there in her body.However, all through her life, she took everything for granted and she never appreciated them. Was there a need to sympathize with such an ungrateful person?“If an apology helps, why do we need the police on earth?” Without bothering to
Tony Sullivan’s face was as gloomy as a thunderstorm.The tension in the spacious living room was palpable. A cold chill washed over the few of them.The whole world seemed to be freezing at the moment.Bailey Ronsin let out an audible gasp at the sight of the angry expression carved on her husband’s face.She was dead. She knew that she was dead.Looking at Bailey’s helpless and panicked figure, satisfaction and joy surged up within Emily Quest.This damned, wicked woman… Finally, someone was going to give her a lesson.Tom Sullivan and Julian Sullivan were extremely anxious and scared. They were both worried about their mother.“Bailey, get your ass over here,” Tony ordered coldly.Bailey shuddered, as his frightful tone broke the silence in the air. Clutching her face with her hands, she shuffled to Tony’s front as fast as she could.Tom immediately pushed Julian’s wheelchair, following closely behind their mother.On the other hand, Emily took her time to walk to their s
Every bloody cut on Bailey Ronson’s body was like a stimulant to Emily Quest.Before this, she was sulking because her plan to ruin Xyla was a big failure. Nevertheless, all the sorrow and dejection within her had melted away as she looked at the scene unfolding before her.“Emily, what are you doing there? Hurry up and help us to plead for Mom right now!” Tom Sullivan ordered her coldly.Finally, coming back to her senses, Emily’s smile faded as she put on a look of fear and grief. She knelt in front of Tony Sullivan with her hands folded. “Dad, please forgive Mom. Though she’s wrong, she’s your wife after all… If you’re not going to stop, please hit me instead of Mom…”Tony gathered all his strength to free himself from Tom’s arms. Shortly after, he raised the riding crop high into the air and lashed out at Bailey again.Emily immediately ran over and pulled Bailey into her arms.In the next second, the crop landed right on her back.Her skin cracked, and her flesh split ope
Xyla Quest enjoyed the food served today very much, especially the plum braised ribs. It tasted amazing. Her appetite was much better before too.Noticing her love for the ribs, Stanley Batton reached for the ribs and fed her intimately.When the crowd saw the pair’s sweet interaction, jealousy began to stir in their hearts again.Jeremy Quest looked at them with a satisfied expression etched on his face. “Gee, how good it is to be young…” Memories of him feeding Xyla’s mother when they were young flashed in his mind.Xyla smiled at her father. “Daddy, why aren’t you eating?”Jeremy teased her. “I’m already full from looking at you lovebirds. What kind of sweet love is this?”“Daddy, hurry up and eat something,” said Xyla, embarrassed.“Alright, I will. Stan, have some food as well. She’s not handicap. She can eat with her own hands,” Jeremy joked again.However, Stanley did not say anything. He gave Jeremy a polite smile and continued to feed Xyla.“Aye, when will a sweet r
Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton both looked stunned when they heard this.Neither of them thought that Henry would actually be their grandfather’s friend.In fact, they thought Bailey Ronson bribed him to pretend to be his grandfather’s friend and to deceive others.Stanley had never been introduced to Henry as his grandfather’s friend.Immediately, Henry wiped the sweat off his face and looked away from the camera. “I’m… Sigh, it’s hard to explain. I mean, didn't you tell me that your grandson was ugly, Ron? You even showed me a picture and told me that was your grandson… Also, why didn’t you tell me that your family owns Dragon Group?”“I was just trying to keep a low profile. I didn’t want to talk about it, but first, tell me, how did you end up with my grandson? Also, how did you find out about my identity?” Ron Batton had a confused look on his face.“Answer my question first. Do you have any idea that my life is at risk because of you?” Henry added.Ron seemed even more conf
“I heard it from a mutual friend of your grandfather-in-law and I. He said that your grandfather personally told him about you being regularly beaten up by your husband, and you two were going to get a divorce soon.“As for Bailey Ronson, I’m not too sure how she found me or how she acquired that false information. She didn’t tell me when I asked her back then,” Henry said truthfully.“…Which mutual friend?” Stanley Batton asked.“It’s Mike…” Henry said carefully.As soon as Stanley heard this, he seemed shocked. “What? Mike? Can you even trust what he says?”Two years ago, Mike’s business failed. He began to suffer from a mental illness that caused him to say many inappropriate things whenever he lost control.Could anyone believe in what someone like him said?“When Mike told me these things, he seemed very calm and collected. He told me that your grandfather personally told him those things. That’s why I believed him,” Henry said awkwardly.Now, he felt like a complete fool.
Xyla Quest immediately nodded. She felt the same way too.“Alright. Let’s not talk about this. You don’t have to worry, alright?” Stanley Batton ruffled her hair affectionately again.Xyla nodded before turning up the music in the car.Coincidentally, a song that Stanley sang before, ‘From Now On’, was playing.“From now on, be there wild winds or calmness, poverty or wealth, you will always be in the bottom of my heart and my eyes.”The original singer’s voice made the song sound very good. Coupled with the moving lyrics, it made Xyla’s heart feel warm.However, she still felt that Stanley’s rendition of it was the best.“I think that you sing better than him,” Xyla said with a chuckle.“Oh?” Stanley turned to look at Xyla with a seemingly faint smile on his face.Although the view outside was very pretty, Xyla found Stanley way more attractive.In that instant, she felt as if she would soon drown in his eyes.“Hmm… So, can you sing it for me?” Xyla turned the music off.S
