At first, Woody Grayson had hoped that the police officers he brought with him could arrest the people who beat him up.However, he didn’t expect that he’d end up being the person who was arrested. Meanwhile, apart from silently accepting his fate, he couldn’t do anything about it right now…It was the Armstrong family from Atlantis. People like Woody couldn’t afford to offend someone from that family.When Woody recalled how he had acted so arrogantly in front of Henry Armstrong, he felt foolish.“Lock this person up,” Henry said again. “He’s not to be released for at least half a year,” he added.With that, Henry lit up a cigarette and began taking a puff at it with one leg crossed over the other.“Yes, Mr. Armstrong…” After speaking, Mr. Horthon took the lead to turn around and leave.Meanwhile, the other police officers restrained Woody in a rough manner and followed behind Mr. Horthon.The door closed—The entire world became quiet and peaceful as it was before.As an ob
Georgie Clementine looked calmly at the night scenery beneath her feet. “How else can I feel? He’s a womanizer. We’re not compatible… I don’t want to have feelings for him…” Georgie said.Xyla Quest gently held Georgie’s hand. “Now, Henry is no longer the womanizer he was before. He’s turned over a new leaf…”Georgie chuckled again. “I wouldn’t dare believe in him…”Henry Armstrong’s visits to Georgie hadn’t decreased in recent times.To be honest, after spending so much time together, Georgie couldn’t exactly say that she had no feelings for him at all.Sometimes, she did feel moved.However, Georgie could control herself. That was because she didn’t want to fall for a womanizer like him so easily.Being in a relationship with someone like Henry was like a gamble. If she won the gamble, she’d be happy for the rest of her life. If she lost, she’d never recover from it.Georgie didn’t want to gamble.Hence, whenever she saw Henry now, she’d try her best to avoid him.When Xyla
When Sebastian Brenand heard this, he directly picked up a complimentary bottle of beer on the table. He quickly opened it and emptied the bottle…After that, he placed the empty bottle in the center of the coffee table.“We’ll use this to play truth or dare. I’ll explain the rules now,” he said each word clearly.“I’ll take the first spin… Whoever the bottle points at, that person loses. The loser must choose between truth or dare. After choosing, the loser must directly carry out the request from the person who spun the bottle… Once the request is done, it will be the loser’s turn to spin, and so on. No questions, right?” Sebastian asked.When Xyla Quest heard this, she couldn’t resist frowning. “Why do you get to spin the bottle first?”“Because I’m handsome,” Sebastian said confidently.“Fine… You win,” Xyla said.As soon as Xyla finished speaking, Sebastian spun the bottle.In the end, the bottle pointed directly at Georgie Clementine.Georgie smiled and looked at Sebasti
After the two pretty waitresses put down the alcohol. They glanced at each other before walking out of the room.Once the door was closed behind them, the two of them started carefully discussing with each other—“Isn’t Stanley way too humble in front of Xyla? He’s such an excellent man, but he’s actually so afraid of his wife that he’d lose himself?”“Xyla is too lucky. I’ve never been jealous of anyone, but this time, I’m really jealous.”“There’s no use being jealous. It’s our fault for not having such god-like luck as Xyla.”***Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton stayed around to have fun at the bar until two o’clock in the morning before heading home.The two of them had both drunk quite a lot. After taking a shower, they started fooling around again due to their drunkenness…Xyla was kept busy all night long.When she opened her eyes the next day, it was already noon…The moment she woke up, she felt her body aching all over.At this moment, Xyla felt as if she was like a b
Two hours later, Stanley Batton held Xyla Quest’s hand and walked into his castle-like villa in the suburbs.By then, Sharon Lindt, Wilson Batton, and Ron Batton were all sitting at the coffee table, drinking tea.There was a thick, red document holder on the armrest next to Wilson’s hand.Seeing that Xyla had arrived, Sharon instantly waved at Xyla and smiled joyfully. “Xyla… Come here. Let me have a good look at you,” Sharon said.Xyla’s appearance was stunningly beautiful to her.Didn’t Xyla look way too good dressed like this? It was not an exaggeration to call Xyla a fairy at all.The more Sharon looked at her daughter-in-law, the prettier she found her! How could such a good-looking girl exist in the world?Xyla smiled gently as she slowly walked over to Sharon and sat next to her.As soon as Xyla sat down, Sharon immediately held her hand and looked at her like a young female fan. “Xyla, you look way too pretty today. Oh, right. Xyla, my darling, have you had lunch?” Sha
It was clearly written on the contract that Stanley Batton had to be good to Xyla Quest all his life. He had to dote on her and let her have what she wanted. He couldn’t cheat on her, and domestic violence wouldn’t be tolerated.If Stanley either cheated on Xyla or practiced domestic violence, Dragon Group would fall into her hands.When Xyla saw this letter of guarantee, her eyes instantly turned red.Every word and sentence written on this letter of guarantee indicated how much the Batton family valued her.They valued even more than they did Stanley.If they didn’t love her significantly, why would they create such a letter of guarantee and make Stanley sign it?In the next second, Xyla couldn’t help but start crying.She really didn’t know what she’d done to deserve so much love from the Batton family.When Sharon Lindt, Stanley, Wilson Batton, and Ron Batton saw Xyla crying, they instantly panicked.“Quick… Grab some tissues…” Wilson looked at Stanley and said.Stanley i
After that, Ron Batton handed a red document holder over to Stanley Batton. “These are the share transfer contracts we have signed. There are also a series of documents amended by the company’s legal staff… They’ve all been publicly certified… Now, the entire Dragon Group belongs to you… Do a good job, alright?”“Okay, I won’t let you down.” Stanley seemed determined.“Okay. I believe in you… Alright, I’ll be getting back to work. You guys have fun…” After that, Ron got up and headed upstairs.After Ron had left, Sharon Lindt endearingly held Xyla Quest’s hand. “Xyla, will you stay at home for dinner tonight?” she asked affectionately.Xyla instantly nodded.Sharon beamed with a smile. “What would you like to eat? I’ll cook for you…”“Anything will do. I’ll eat anything as long as you make it…” Xyla said.“You are such a sweet-talker.” Sharon was delighted. “Xyla is the best daughter-in-law in the world.”“Mom, that’s too much.” Xyla chuckled embarrassedly.“How is that too mu
A piece of news about Xyla Quest appeared on her phone—“Popular period drama, Green Clouds Above, with the same title as the original work, is confirmed to have started filming. Xyla Quest will be acting as the fairy, Pink Misty! Photos from the shoot have been made publicly available!”Xyla didn’t expect Sebastian Brenand to make her photos publicly available so soon…After all, those photos were taken only the day before.When Sharon Lindt saw the content on Xyla’s phone, she instantly started speaking excitedly. “Let’s take a look at your photos. Last night, Stanley showed me a video of you getting your makeover. I was stunned by how beautiful you were.”Xyla instantly tapped on it.The thing that came to view was a nine-picture collage of Pink Misty’s photos.There were pictures of her strumming a harp with her head lowered as well as her smiling while she looked down…All the pictures had gray backgrounds.Since the photos weren’t edited, they were looking at complete or
