“Okay…” Stanley Batton did not pursue the matter further. He got up from the couch and ordered, “Start the car, Zack. Let’s go buy the ingredients now.” Subsequently, the two men left the house in a single file. After Stanley left, Xyla fell into deep thoughts once again.On the other hand, Zack Cassidy drove Stanley to a nearby supermarket. When the two of them had arrived, Stanley started grocery shopping under the watchful eyes of a group of bodyguards. Zack pushed the cart behind him in silence. One by one, Stanley compared the ingredients seriously and picked out the freshest ones. All of the bodyguards were stunned by the scene in front of them. Their faces were as pale as if they had seen a ghost. Stanley first went to get Xyla’s favorite spicy soup base. Then, he proceeded to the frozen food section and carefully selected her favorite beef slices, tripe, and some duck intestines.Looking at the ingredients gradually piling up in the shopping cart, the men could
“Okay. I’ll be back soon.” Stanley Batton hung up the phone and continued to look for the ingredients she wanted in the fridge. Whether it was Zack Cassidy or the bodyguards, everyone who witnessed the intimacy between the lovebirds had stopped dead in their tracks. The girls who had been secretly following him all this while could no longer hide their jealousy toward Xyla. Another wave of discussion began amidst the crowd. “He was talking to his girlfriend on the phone just now, right? He sounded so gentle…”“Apart from being good-looking and rich, he’s cold to everyone else except his girlfriend. What kind of ideal boyfriend is he?”“This guy is perfect. He’s definitely my ideal type. I admit that I’m pretty jealous of his girlfriend right now.”After getting all the ingredients needed, Stanley led the group of bodyguards to the self-service counter. Zack cleared the shopping cart and settled the bill, whereas Stanley stalked out of the supermarket with his bodyguards
“Daddy rocks! Is that Xyla Quest?”Likewise, Alex was utterly shocked by the expensive gifts. He froze for a couple of seconds before he was able to process the situation before him. “Thanks, my future boss, Xyla, for the Super Rockets.”Once again, the pop-ups blew up on the screen.“Xyla??? Is it really Xyla Quest??? Please notice me, my rich beauty!”“Damn, a hundred Super Rockets… You’re formidable, Xyla!”“Xyla, Xyla, Xyla, I love you…”Immediately afterward, Alex added, “Boss, do you want to join me for the next round? I’m pretty good at assisting.”Countless pop-ups followed soon after. “F*ck… This guy has never played Support before. I can’t believe he has offered to assist Xyla twice! Is this the power of money?”“I think it’s the power of beauty instead. Do you guys have any ideas how stunning Xyla is?”“Xyla, what are you waiting for? Many people have been dreaming of teaming up with Alex for their whole lives!”Xyla stole a glance at the pop-ups before sending a
##“Sasaeng fans are sentenced to one month of detention for car-chasing Josh Batton!”##Xyla Quest instantly tapped on the notification to open the article. In addition to the punishment given to the group of insane Sasaeng fans, the article stated that the judge had given the driver a light sentence too. Likewise, the driver was detained for a month.Xyla was relieved upon reading this good news. Since the consequence of their immature act was now all over the news, she believed that the other Sasaeng fans would start to behave themselves from now on. The comment section below the article was as lively as usual. Josh Batton’s fans were all celebrating their sentences gleefully. “Nice one, X Entertainment! Serve them right! Here are a thousand likes for X Entertainment’s boss.”“Wake up, Sasaeng fans! Love him sensibly. Don’t cause trouble to him if you love him.”“I hope Sasaeng fans will be extinct one day. Good job, X Entertainment, for protecting my dear Josh!”After
Bailey Ronson immediately started shivering as she walked over to Tony Sullivan with the divorce papers in hand. “I’m really sorry. If I had known Stanley Batton was the heir of Dragon Group, I wouldn’t have done something like that even if my life counted on it… Husband, please forgive me.”Tony snorted coldly before standing up and walking up the stairs without looking back.He was making it clear that there this situation could not be salvaged.When Emily came down, she saw this scene unfolding before her.Although Bailey had been rather nice to Emily recently, Emily still couldn’t forgive Bailey for the things she did and said to her in the past.Seeing Bailey being treated so harshly by Tony made Emily feel gleeful.However, Emily also felt a little worried.If Emily wanted to establish her influence in the Sullivan family, she needed to rely on Bailey. Now, the only people Emily could control in the Sullivan family were Bailey and Mary Sullivan.However, Mary was quite us
The people surrounded the coffee table in the living room.Most of May Conner’s relatives were there. Emily Quest, Tom Sullivan, Tony Sullivan, Bailey Ronson, and Julian Sullivan were also there.Initially, there weren’t enough seats for everyone. They had to add several couches at the last minute.Now, everyone was having a good time. The only people whose smiles were forced were members of the Sullivan family.As soon as Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton walked through the door, hand in hand, they became the center of attention.All eyes were on the two of them.Since May’s relatives had also found out about Stanley’s identity, they now looked at Stanley with an even greater sense of admiration.The young girls, especially, couldn’t take their eyes off him for even a second.Throughout the whole process, Stanley remained calm and polite. He slowly walked over to the rest and greeted the elders one at a time.After that, Stanley sat down with Xyla next to Jeremy before placing th
Xyla Quest’s relatives were still complimenting her.When May Conner and Emily Quest saw how Xyla and Stanley Batton had become the center of attention, they felt extremely upset.In the past, when Xyla had become ugly and ran away, May and Emily would always be the center of attention.However, ever since Xyla returned in a grand fashion, things were never the same again…Emily couldn’t stand listening to all of it any longer. She stood up and walked right out the door.When Xyla saw Emily leaving, her eyes turned cold. After that, she smiled at her relatives and excused herself before heading out.In the courtyard, the fragrance of spring was strong. The intensity of sunlight was just lovely, and there were soft breezes in the air.In a little garden, countless flowers of all sorts were in full bloom, and the various colors were mesmerizing.When Emily saw that Xyla came out, she knew very clearly why that was.Emily immediately pretended to be extremely depressed as she lea
When Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton heard this, neither of them said a word. All they did was listen silently while May Conner boasted.When their relatives heard what May said, they immediately started expressing how much they envied Emily Quest.“What? Do you mean to say that it’s like Tom was the one who bought all those flowers for Emily? Does that mean their relationship is smooth sailing once again?”“Oh my god. Emily has really done well for herself… From now on, I’ll argue with anyone who says the Sullivan family is not doing well.”“The Sullivan family sure is rich. Emily got married to a good person.”When May heard what everyone was saying, she immediately felt pleased. “Oh, I’m not too sure. Anyway, Emily told me that Tom was contacting someone about planting roses. It’s just a guess on my part. I haven’t asked him.”“Is that true?” Jeremy was wide-eyed.May nodded.“When did the flowers I plant become Tom Sullivan’s?” Stanley, who had been silent all this while, sud
