After Stanley Batton left, Sharon Lindt once again held Xyla Quest’s hand tightly. “Xyla, no matter how painful it gets, I’ll be with you, alright? You’re not alone,” Sharon said.Xyla nodded repeatedly…No matter how painful it was, Xyla felt unusually secure as long as the Batton family was around.After approximately half an hour later, Stephen Harris came to give Xyla a nutritional drip.Meanwhile, Xyla’s retching also lessened significantly.Sharon stayed in the house for a while before leaving…After she left, the master bedroom became quiet and peaceful once more.Stanley slowly walked back to the bed and sat next to Xyla. While looking at the back of her hand with a needle in it, Stanley felt his heart aching again.Meanwhile, Stephen sat silently next to Stanley and Xyla. He was practically the third wheel.After the nutritional drip was done, Xyla no longer felt nauseous.Hence, she gradually fell asleep peacefully.After seeing that Xyla had fallen asleep, Stanley
Xyla Quest allowed Stanley Batton to carry her while she looked at her phone…It was a WeChat message from Sharon Lindt.She sent some messages that expressed her concern.“Good morning, darling…”“Eat something proper for breakfast. Take a picture of what Stanley made for breakfast later.”“Let me see what that kid made for you.”Xyla felt extremely happy receiving these messages from Sharon early in the morning.She hooked one hand around Stanley’s neck as she replied to Sharon’s text with the other. “Alright. Thank you for worrying about me, Mom.”“Urgh…” As soon as Xyla typed that, she felt nauseous again.Xyla immediately put her phone in the pocket before covering her mouth with her hand.Stanley frowned deeply as he looked at Xyla with a pained expression. “Honey… Why not… Let’s get rid of the babies.”When Xyla heard this, she couldn’t believe her ears…She knew how much Stanley was hoping for these two babies to arrive.She also knew how happy he was because she b
Although Stanley Batton felt bad watching Xyla Quest suffer, he couldn’t do anything about it.He could only worry about her.After breakfast, Stanley called Sharon Lindt on the phone and asked her to accompany Xyla.After Sharon arrived, Stanley headed to the office.Once Sharon and Xyla had sent Stanley off, they held each other’s hand and took a stroll in the small garden behind the house.As it was early autumn, all sorts of plants and trees were planted in the small garden…Right then, the flowers were still in bloom.Other plants were also in a lush state.In Atlantis, this was the most comfortable season of the year. It was neither cold nor hot, and there were comfortable autumn breezes.The breeze that greeted one’s face came with a flowery scent and a calming, cooling sensation.Xyla was dressed very simply in only a white, pure-cotton halter dress and a beige, knitted sweater…On the other hand, Sharon wore a light-pink knitted sweater with a white, flowery dress o
After talking to Stanley Batton for a while on the phone, Xyla Quest reluctantly hung up.Once the call ended, Sharon Lindt carefully held Xyla’s hand. “This is wonderful, Xyla… Stan will finally be completely normal again…”At first, when Xyla’s grandfather-in-law told her that Stanley’s illness could be cured, Xyla didn’t believe him.In fact, she still felt suspicious about the medicine.However, she later observed that Stanley’s genes really were modified.Xyla couldn’t help but sigh to herself as she thought about how there was always someone more powerful.Nothing was impossible in this world.Xyla thanked god for this.She was grateful to god for finding Stanley someone to provide him blood for a long time when he was ill…She was also grateful that the person’s bone marrow was compatible with Stanley’s.“Yeah, Mom.” Xyla nodded and smiled.As long as Stanley’s surgery was successful, Xyla would have nothing to worry about.After saying that, Xyla broke into tears fr
This was major news!Also, was their president’s status at home already this low?After noticing the content on his phone, Stanley Batton immediately looked around at everyone emotionlessly.Although he realized that everyone had odd expressions on their faces, he remained calm.Right then, “Mama” sent another Wehat message over—“Your father just called me. He asked you to give Xyla massages for half an hour every day after you get home…”At this moment, the look in every high-level executive’s eyes became even weirder.Stanley silently raised his brows. After that, he slowly cut off the connection between his phone and his laptop.After that, he calmly replied to Sharon Lindt’s text. “Okay. Understood…”Meanwhile, everyone started looking wild-eyed at each other again…Would Stanley have to give Xyla Quest a massage for half an hour every day after getting home?This…This seemed to make his status in the family even lower.After closing the WeChat application, Stanley o
Zack Cassidy’s voice could be heard.Nancy Jules…When Stanley Batton heard this name, he frowned a little.This name sounded very familiar.After carefully recalling, he remembered that this was his ex-classmate in high school.Back in their third year in high school, Nancy was one of the girls who went after him in a hardcore manner. She used every crazy method she could think of to pursue Stanley…Why did this person suddenly come to Dragon Group?Stanley couldn’t think of any reason for them to meet…“What is it for?” Stanley asked.“She didn’t say,” Zack answered.“I won’t see her,” Stanley replied.With that, Stanley quickly hung up the phone.After hanging up, he once again dived back into work nervously and frantically.He completely forgot about Nancy.Downstairs, at the reception…A beautiful woman with long, ash gray hair leaned against the reception desk lazily while she re-applied lipstick on her lips.She held a limited-edition, pink, diamond Guerlain lips
Also, wasn’t this lady sounding arrogant when she spoke?However, even if a beautiful lady was arrogant, she still looked pretty.“Uhm… Alright… I… I’ll tell him…” Her tone equally dumbfounded Zack Cassidy.How could this woman’s temper be like this?Didn’t she have too much of an ego?Outrageous. It was truly outrageous…After that, Zack hung up the phone and immediately called Stanley Batton. He told Stanley exactly what Nancy Jules said.Of course, Zack left out the outrageous curse words that she used.Based on how well Zack knew Stanley, if Stanley found out how arrogant she was, he wouldn’t meet her.Zack didn’t want to miss out on the eighty billion deal so easily.On the other end of the phone call, Stanley frowned slightly when he heard what Zack said.After thinking deeply for a few seconds, he slowly put down the document folder in his hand. “Send her up,” he said.With that, Stanley hung up the phone and started going through another document.Since Nancy had s
“That’s because my family nearly went bankrupt at one point. We ran out of money… I asked people for help, but nobody would help me. He was the only one who helped, but it was under this condition…“He married me for my body, while I did it for the money… Whatever it is, it was a fair trade…” Nancy Jules said earnestly. She wasn’t hiding anything at all.Stanley Batton listened without saying anything.“The enterprise from Country Z that previously supplied high-end chips to our country’s mobile phone company started asking for extortive prices.“I feel like it won’t work with them. That’s why I thought of Dragon Group. What do you think? Do you want to cooperate with us? As long as the price works…” Nancy went straight to the point once again…Meanwhile, Stanley was also a straightforward person.After briefly chatting with her, he offered his ideal price.Nancy also decisively agreed to it very quickly.After that, Zack printed a contract, and the two parties immediately sign
