Chapter 126
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

In that instant, everyone turned to look at the big screen.In the second that followed, the skull disappeared before the footage of Emily Quest pleading guilty in the police station came on.The truth of Imperial Prime being framed had been revealed.There was an uproar in the crowd.Xyla Quest was momentarily stunned as a look of disbelief appeared in her eyes.Why did this footage appear here? Xyla’s instincts were telling her that this was done by the same person who kept Emily on the list of most popular topics on the internet.How much did this person hate Emily to go to such an extent?Meanwhile, Emily and May Conner’s faces had turned pale. They both had a look of shock on their eyes.Everything seemed like a flame that would devour the brightness around them. The wedding would become the pit in which they burned.Never in their dreams did they think that the darkest secrets they had been hiding from everyone would be exposed on Emily’s wedding day in such a way.The expression

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

At that moment, Xyla Quest felt that Stanley Batton was like her hero.Every word he said would make her feel better.In fact, she even felt as if he were an umbrella that protected her from the wind and rain.Xyla had met many people over the years during her travels. However, none of the men she had met made her feel safe in such a way.When May Conner and Emily Quest heard the word ‘prison’, they immediately felt goosebumps all over their bodies.Since they had just come out from that hellish place, they knew all too well how much suffering they would have to go through there.Even if they did not have to suffer as much, it would not be a good idea to go back to prison.If things got worse, Jeremy Quest would only hate them even more.Right then, Emily and May were in a difficult position. It seemed as though whatever they did would turn out badly for them.Meanwhile, they were beginning to feel the burning gaze from everyone around them.The anger they felt immediately subsided and

However, Stanley Batton did not reply to Xyla Quest. Instead, he walked over to a female waitress who was drooling over him.Meanwhile, Xyla did not ask any further as she sat down on the couch.Outside, the northern wind blew as snow filled the air and made the world appear somewhat colder than it was.Although it was only a door away, it seemed like a completely different world altogether.After glancing at the view of the snowy scenery outside, Xyla rested her chin on one hand and looked over at Stanley.She wondered what he was saying to the waitress. After a while, someone retrieved a bottle of mineral water from a nearby fridge. The person then handed it over to Stanley, along with a white towel.Stanley soon returned to Xyla with those items.Carefully, he wrapped the bottle of mineral water with the towel before pressing it gently against Xyla’s swollen face.In that instant, Xyla could feel the coolness against her face. The sting from the slap earlier began to fade away.Alth
