“Look for a place of around sixty to seventy square meters, and one at a lower price. It should preferably be away from central areas. A second-hand house works too,” Stanley Batton said.“Fifth Master, don’t you only purchase property in the golden zones?” Zack Cassidy felt that he no longer knew Fifth Master as well as he did before.“Yeah,” Stanley uttered.“I’ll get it done tomorrow,” Zack said.“Buy the house within a day and throw all the furniture away. I want them to be replaced with new ones, but they can’t be from well-known brands,” Stanley added.“Yes, Fifth Master,” Zack said.“Make sure you disinfect the place inside and out for at least three times,” Stanley said.“Got it. Fifth Master, are you going to stay there?” Zack asked.“…” Stanley remained silent as he lit a cigarette and looked out at the city’s busy view at night.The smoke surrounding his fingers made them appear much longer and more elegant.***After Xyla Quest arrived home, she first walked out onto her ba

To people like them who lived a pampered life of luxury, the art of embroidery was completely unfamiliar territory. They had never held a needle at home. If something was damaged, they would just throw it out, so there was no use for needles. Needles punctured their fingers, and it was frightening to look at. Out of carelessness, the needle on Emily’s right hand once again pricked her left index finger. As the stinging pain spread, the last of her patience was gone. She immediately threw the embroidery frame onto the ground, wailing and yelling, “Are we living in ancient times right now? “To think handmade embroidery still exists! How would I know how to do it?! Is this torture? I’m a pregnant woman. What merits do they have for torturing me to death? “Why did the others get so little handkerchiefs while we get so many? Did that sh*tty Xyla Quest bribe someone? “Is Father really going to ignore this? And Brother Sullivan, why is he ignoring me? I’m pregnant with the Sulliva

May was seething. She turned to look at the bald inmate who had hit her. “What are you doing?” “I’m hitting you, what else? You’re imprisoned here, but you’re still thinking of bullying others once you get out. You’re obviously a vile person.” May wanted to retort, ‘Are you any better?’ However, she managed to endure it as she turned away quietly to continue with her work. “I’ve heard about you two. One is Xyla Quest’s wretched stepmother; the other is her wretched half-sister. “News about your family issues have even made it to us. Everyone says that both of you are the mastermind behind the rumor of Imperial Prime having defects. “Bunch of dogsh*ts, not only are you unwilling to repent, but you’re even trying to harm others!” As she spoke, the bald inmate rolled up her sleeve and stood up, glaring ferociously at the mother-daughter pair as if she wanted to kill them. “Why do you care about our family issues? Are you perhaps acquainted with Xyla Quest?” Emily felt her

Emily nodded. “I think so. I can’t move it!” “Get to work! You have to work even if your bones break!” the bald inmate spoke coldly again. She despised people who bullied the weak. Once upon a time, she was forcefully taken by her factory manager again and again because she was weak. To keep her job, she stayed quiet the whole time. And because she was easy to bully, the man got worse and even forcefully took her in front of her own daughter. Her daughter went up to hit the man, but he pushed the child away. The child’s head hit the door handle, and she ended up dying on the spot. Because of this, she could not resist killing that son of a b*tch. She hated trash who liked to bully others! “Hurry up!!!” the bald inmate roared again. Having just suffered damage, Emily dared not fight back. She obediently returned to her seat. She had just sat down when she felt something stab deeply into her right butt cheek. The severe pain immediately made her turn pale! “Ahh!!” S

In the evening, the setting sun dyed Atlantis gold. The sun set and the world was cold once again. X Entertainment’s building was dazzling brightly in the sunset. Inside the warm office, after Xyla had finished her work today, she once again reserved a private room at With-you Western Restaurant and then informed Five Batton through WeChat. Next, she simply touched up her makeup and let her hair down. The gentle large black curls paired with a natural makeup made her look like a goddess. Her clean white shirt, paired with light blue cropped pants, and a light blue woolen coat, accentuated her divine temperament. The pair of silver strappy heels on her feet highlighted her fair legs and slender ankles. *** On the other side, inside the wine cellar of the three-story Garden Mansion, Stanley, Henry, Sebastian, and Gary were perched in front of a rosewood counter. Each man had a glass of rich red wine in front of them. The wine cellar behind them was about two hundred s

He had seen too many women who proactively court men who drove luxurious cars. Stunned by his aura, the flirtatious smile on the beautiful woman’s face froze. However, she was reluctant to give up. Such a wealthy and magnificent man was every girl’s dream! If she could capture his heart, she would be set for the rest of her life. “Don’t be that way, Handsome, give me a hand,” the beauty said coquettishly. He remained apathetic. Without another word, he quietly took out a pair of white medical gloves from the dashboard, got out swiftly, pulled the passenger car door open, and pulled the woman out. After that, he removed the gloves and tossed them into the trash can together with the antibacterial wipe. Everything was done swiftly. Subsequently, he turned to leave. The beauty was exasperated as she kept stomping her feet. “What gives? Am I, Fanny Mitchell, poisonous? Why do you have to wear gloves to touch me? What a weirdo!” Having said that, she rolled her eyes. Sta

The dining table was covered with a snow-white silk cloth. Several stalks of white roses were displayed in the center of the table. Pure white tassels hung at the ends of the tablecloth, showing luxury in simplicity. Under the illumination of the magnificent chandelier, everything seemed perfect. The strong fragrance of roses in the air calmed one’s spirits. After placing their orders, both individuals removed their coats and hung them at the back of their chairs, leaving only their shirts. Both were dressed in white. They felt more like a couple now. “Have you memorized what I taught you yesterday? Have you forgotten them?” Xyla initiated the conversation. “Yeah,” he replied faintly, toying with a black mirror finish lighter in one hand. His fingers were extremely nimble. No matter how he toyed with it, the lighter never fell. Since he had exceptionally slender and charming fingers, his playing with the lighter attracted more attention. It was a seemingly ordinary ligh
