“I’ll send you to one of my houses nearby right now. There’s everything you need inside… You can use anything you want.“From now on, you’ll stay there…“After that, I’ll arrange for two bodyguards to protect you at all times for the next two days.“If you need help with anything, you can call me at any time.“During this period, you should focus on recovering. I’ll get someone to take care of your resignation procedures and things like that.“As for everything else, we’ll talk about it after you’ve recovered from your injuries,” Xyla Quest said gently and softly. At the same time, she focused on looking forward and operating the steering wheel.Adam Shaw nodded. “Alright… Thank you, Ms. Quest.”***Xyla drove Adam to her peaceful, high-class neighborhood in the city center.After getting the spare key from the property management staff, she handed it over to Adam.Later, two of Xyla’s bodyguards helped Adam up the stairs.Meanwhile, Xyla quickly drove her car back to her ho
Most men would have a strong stance about whose surname their children took after.For thousands of years, an unwritten rule had been set in stone between men and women that children born should take after their father’s surname.Since time immemorial, most people indeed practiced this.This was especially the case for high-status and influential families like the Batton family.At the end of the day, men and their side of the family all cared a lot about children taking after the surname of the paternal side.However, Xyla didn’t think that Stanley and his family wouldn’t care about it at all. This really touched her.“What’s the matter?” Stanley asked curiously when he saw that Xyla was stunned.“Why would you think like this?” Xyla asked.“Like what?” Stanley asked.“Don’t men usually care a lot about whose surname their children take after? Most men wouldn’t agree to let their children take after their mother’s surname,” Xyla said.However, Stanley chuckled nonchalantly.
“Can you not be so shameless, Stanley Batton?” Xyla Quest asked.Stanley Batton chuckled before directly changing the subject. “What would you like to eat? Seafood noodles? Beef noodles? Stir-fried lobster noodles? Or fried chicken? Or sushi?”At first, Xyla wanted to continue refusing to eat.However, after hearing the dishes he offered to make, she had no choice but to cave in. “Something simple. Let’s go with beef noodles.”Today, just for today, she would go easy on herself.At most, she would wake up earlier tomorrow morning for a run…“Alright. Go upstairs and wait for me…” Stanley said.“Okay. I’ll get showered…” After saying that, Xyla jogged up the stairs. After filling the bathtub with hot water, she poured some milk into the warm water. She also added colorful rose petals…Later, she removed her makeup, washed her face, and applied some expensive, moisturizing, whitening face mask.Once everything was fully prepared, she took off all her clothes and comfortably subm
Stanley Batton had only just received the company’s shares from his family, yet, he had already prepared a document like this for her. Xyla Quest truly didn’t expect this…At this moment, she was so touched that she felt like crying. “You… Why did you do this? I don’t want this…”While speaking, Xyla quickly shoved the documents back into Stanley’s hands.She couldn’t possibly not know the meaning behind why Stanley was giving these things to her…He was practically betting his entire life on her.However, Stanley shoved the documents back into her arms. “Now, all the properties, cars, savings, and companies I own belong to you… From now on, you’ll oversee the financial decisions in our household… You are not to reject me,” Stanley said.“To be honest, I’ve wanted to transfer all my properties, cars, and savings to you for the longest time. However, after I have thought about it for a while, I still feel that transferring everything to you along with the company’s shares would be
“Hmm?” Stanley Batton asked softly.“I’ll love you in the best way I can. Thank you for the love you’ve given me,” Xyla Quest said gently. Her voice was soft as usual.“Don’t worry. If we really have to part ways for some reason in the future, I’ll return to you everything you’ve given me exactly as they were,” Xyla added.When Stanley heard this, he frowned deeply and pressed Xyla against the bed. He held her face with a serious expression on his face.“Xyla Quest, listen up. We’ll be in love forever. Nothing like that will ever happen,” Stanley said.“What if it does? For example, what if you cheated on me?” Xyla said jokingly.“If I cheat on you, then I’ll give you everything I own just as I’d agreed to by signing on that letter of guarantee from before,” Stanley continued with each word enunciated clearly. “Also, I won’t cheat on you. I won’t ever cheat on you in this lifetime…”“Who knows?” Xyla started joking again.Although Xyla was joking, Stanley was serious about it…
“Not only that, but Stanley even acquired all the shares from his father and grandfather.” Linda said.“However… After acquiring the shares, Stanley transferred all the shares and his assets to Xyla’s name.” Linda added.“D*mn… Xyla sure is good at this… How did Stanley’s parents react?” Ann asked.“I heard that his parents haven’t found out.” Linda said.“This is no small matter. You mustn’t let anything slip out of your mouth… If Stanley’s parents find out, and a family conflict arises, I’ll be dead.” Linda added.Right then, everyone all replied with an ‘OK’ and indicated that they wouldn’t dare to speak of the matter.Every word and sentence that came into view made Mary Sullivan feel greatly shocked…Mary knew that Stanley Batton loved Xyla Quest, but she didn’t know that he loved her this much.He was able to hand over his empire to her completely.At this moment, Mary was incredibly jealous…She really didn’t understand why Xyla, this b*tch, was always this lucky.Her
A WeChat message from Sharon Lindt appeared on Xyla Quest’s phone screen. “Xyla…! Did my son hand over everything to you?”Xyla hadn’t expected Sharon to find out about the news this quickly.Xyla was suddenly a little restless.She didn’t know how Sharon would feel right now…After all, this wasn’t a small matter.Immediately after that, Sharon sent over another message. “Hahahaha… This is fantastic, isn’t it?”When Xyla saw this message, her anxious heart instantly relaxed.Xyla immediately opened WeChat and replied to Sharon. “Aren’t you mad?”“Why would I be mad? We’ve already handed over the company to him. That belongs to him. Shouldn’t he be able to give it to whomever he wants? Besides, it’s not a loss for it to be given to you, is it? You’re one of us,” Sharon said.Her words once again touched Xyla deeply.At this moment, Xyla’s eyes filled with tears without her realizing it.“Do you really think like this? Aren’t you worried?” Xyla asked.“D*rn… Why should I be
“Hmm, okay.” Xyla Quest felt warmth in her heart once again.She felt like she was the most adored person in the entire Batton family.They were awfully protective of her, and they treated her very affectionately.Sometimes, Xyla even felt that her life was even more magical than children’s fairy tales.“Well then, goodbye, my dearest daughter-in-law,” Sharon Lindt said before hanging up.Xyla held her phone and logged in to Weibo to look at the stuff Sharon mentioned. Meanwhile, she looked down and started walking down the stairs…After logging into Weibo, she saw Stanley Batton and her name on the list of hot topics before she even searched for it. ‘#Stanley Batton offers Xyla Quest all of his assets#’…Xyla instantly tapped on this topic to have a look…At the very top, the name of the person Sharon mentioned, Aileen, appeared. Everything she said was exactly as Sharon described.Aileen’s Weibo post was published an hour ago.Now, the shares, likes, and comments had alread
