Tom was defeated in no time. He frowned in pain and loosened his grip first. Then, Stanley quietly let him go before placing an arm around Xyla and sitting down. Tom secretly shook his hand behind his back. He dared not show just how much it hurt in fear of embarrassing himself. However, Emily had no intention of letting things end here. Even if her brother-in-law had passed in the looks department, there was still the occupation section! The man might even be a gigolo at a night club! She quickly turned to Stanley and said, “Brother-in-law, my sister tells me you study in traditional medicine. Help my aunt check her pulse… She’s been feeling lethargic lately, and we don’t know what’s wrong.” After, Emily shifted her gaze to her aunt sitting at the next table and gave her a signal. Emily’s aunt immediately nodded. “Right, right. I keep feeling tired lately and sleepy. I don’t even have a good appetite.” After that, the older woman brought a chair over, squeezed in between

After a simple feel of her pulse, Stanley said, “Your menstrual cycle is severely irregular. You must have taken a lot of medicine, haven’t you? But none of them worked.” “Yeah…” Heather started nodding ceaselessly. “Is there any way to treat this?” This irregularity in her menstrual cycle had started a little after her first period. It had not been treated until now, and she had visited many doctors. “Ten grams of angelica Sinensis, five grams of ligusticum striatum, ten grams of herbaceous peony root, ten grams of Rehmannia root, ten grams of ginseng, ten grams of atractylodes, ten grams of Poria, five grams of roasted licorice roots, ten grams of astragalus, and three grams of cinnamon. “Boil them and consume the liquid for two to three times a day… You’ll just have to take this for a month,” Stanley said calmly. Xyla relaxed and smiled. If memory served her right, she never taught him this prescription, and it was not on the books she gave him. It looked like he had p

The affectionate interactions between a handsome man and a beautiful woman made everyone envious. Without having to do anything, they had attracted everyone’s attention just like that. Looking at how compatible both of them were, Jeremy was delighted. The stuffiness in his heart had immediately faded away. His eyes were filled with approval as he looked at them. Vrrt, vrrt, vrrt. Just then, Stanley’s phone vibrated. Upon seeing the words ‘Zack Cassidy’, he grabbed his phone and strode out of the ballroom, attracting countless gazes of adoration on the way out. However, the man remained apathetic like there was no one around him at all. After exiting the door, he leaned against the window and answered the call. “Fifth Master, I have a few documents that require your attention.” “Send it to my email,” Stanley answered coldly before swiftly hanging up and placing the phone back into the inside pocket of his suit. Just then, Tom came over. He stopped in front of S

“You…” Tom was exasperated. God knows where this rascal got his courage from! Stanley said nothing else but made his way back into the ballroom like Tom was invisible to him. The feeling of being ignored irritated Tom even more. “Even if you don’t agree, I’ll still snatch Xyla back,” Tom declared domineeringly as he stared at Stanley’s back. So what if the man was more handsome than he was? Other than his face, nothing else of his could compare to Tom. Moreover, no matter how heartless Xyla behaved, he had faith that Xyla still had feelings for him deep down inside. She was only just temporarily blinded. If Tom persevered, Stanley Batton would be no match for him. Stanley paused, mildly raising his eyebrows once more but never turning back. “Delusional.” On the other side of the wall, Emily had heard everything clearly. Her hands balled into fists. Although she had always known the answer to many of her problems, hearing it with her own ears still shocked her and ma

Tom Sullivan immediately ran up to the stage and stood in front of her protectively before he grabbed the microphone in a huff.“This is all a misunderstanding… I’ll find out the truth. Please don’t mind what happened. Please keep this to yourselves on the basis of your relationship with the Sullivan family,” Tom said before bowing deeply at the audience off stage.After that, he held the microphone tightly and tried to keep his cool as he looked at the audience.“There will be more exciting performances coming up. Let’s shift our attention to the performances,” he said before dragging Emily Quest with him off the stage.Once the two returned to their seats, Tom felt the urge to kill Emily.Soon after, pretty ladies from the Atlantis Dancing Group began showcasing their peacock dance.***However, the catastrophe had still not come to an end. People were still discussing what happened.Tom’s parents seemed very annoyed. Although they already hated Emily a lot, the things that had happe

The stinging sensation began to spread across Xyla Quest’s cheek.The red mark was obvious against Xyla’s fair skin.On top of that, her face was also beginning to swell.The feeling of rage Xyla was trying to suppress all this time was suddenly brought to the surface by May Conner’s slap.Xyla immediately clenched her fists tightly.Although she felt the urge to attack May in return, she knew that if she did that now, May would cause a scene that would only turn out badly for Xyla.After looking around, Xyla landed her gaze upon the red fire alarm button.After a second, Xyla shifted her gaze to May’s face and took a step forward.“What did you just do?” Xyla asked coldly.Once Xyla stepped forward, her elbow was directly next to the fire alarm button.“What am I doing? I’m teaching you a lesson, of course. Xyla Quest, are you even a human? Never mind that you paid the police to bully your sister in prison and me. You even did all this to your little sister on her wedding day. How can

“What apology?” May Conner acted as if she were oblivious to what happened.“You hit her,” Stanley Batton said coldly.“Don’t make things up. I didn’t even touch her!” May immediately retorted as she subconsciously took a few steps back.Emily Quest hurriedly ran through the crowd and tugged at May’s hand.“Mom… Let’s go,” Emily said.“Do you think you can leave just like that after hitting someone?” Stanley asked coldly. Everyone around felt chills down their spines just from hearing his voice.“My mother has already said that she did not hit anyone. If you insist on saying that she did, I will claim that Xyla hit herself and blamed it on my mother. You are her husband. Whatever you say can’t be used as proof,” Emily said unhappily.“Well, in that case, can the surveillance footage be proof?” Stanley turned to look coldly at the surveillance camera above his head.May, Emily, and everyone else around them shifted their gaze upward.May and Emily’s faces instantly turned pale.Meanwhil
