“Not to be mean or anything, but shouldn’t some people look in the mirror before they try to seduce a man? They should at least check if they’re better than the man’s wife.”“Precisely… How could a skanky b*tch be compared to a noblewoman? She’s living in her head.”“Girls these days overestimate themselves…”“You’re far too polite. You should say girls these days are shameless. They’d do anything to get what they want… Unfortunately, she went for the wrong guy.”The managerial staff in the subsidiary company couldn’t stand it anymore. So they began criticizing Cindy Dunn.None of them was afraid of anything.They spoke their minds openly…Meanwhile, Cindy felt even more embarrassed.Their words were like slaps to her face one after another.She immediately took a deep breath before running across the road and got into her car.Seeing that Stanley’s entourage of cars was still within her line of sight, Cindy immediately tried to follow them…Although Stanley was very cold to
“I’ll get it for you right away,” the sales assistant said respectfully. After that, she quickly went to the cashier and retrieved an orange bag with a Hermes logo before handing it over to Stanley…There was an intricately packaged gift box inside the bag…“Okay,” Stanley Batton said before looking around…Since he didn’t see any item he fancied buying, he turned around and exited the store…Right then, he heard a group of managerial staff in the mall running up to the Hermes store’s entrance like madmen.When these people saw Stanley, they lined up neatly in a row and bowed to him respectfully. “Greetings, Mr. Batton…” They shouted simultaneously.“Why are you here?” Stanley asked.“Someone downstairs informed us that you’re here. That’s why we quickly came over. Are you personally here to buy something?” The mall’s young, handsome general manager asked respectfully with his head lowered.The huge formation attracted a lot of attention…Stanley frowned slightly. “Okay.”“Do
Stanley Batton didn’t say anything unnecessary.He didn’t even allow his gaze to linger.Soon, the bodyguards in front of him surrounded Cindy and forcefully lifted her. They then walked out of Stanley’s line of sight…Despite Cindy Dunn’s struggles, it was of no help.There were many people in the mall…Everyone was looking at her.The mocking looks and smirks on their faces were like knives that stabbed deep into her heart.She felt painfully humiliated…Right then, she wished she could hide in a hole and never come out.Cindy was good-looking and seductive.Whenever she took the initiative, men would fall for her. So why was Stanley an exception?Wasn’t there a saying that the grass was always greener on the other side?Although Xyla Quest was pretty, she was Stanley’s wife.Wouldn’t Stanley have gotten bored of her?Stanley should’ve wanted to cheat on her with another woman.Why didn’t Cindy’s plan work on Stanley?In the beginning, Cindy thought that men only chos
After a busy day, Stanley Batton finally made it home in the heavy snowfall.He could see the lights in the house were left on for him the moment he looked up.That was the most heart-warming feeling in the world.Although it was chilly outside due to the gusting winds, he felt warm on the inside…Stanley ordered his men to move all the things he had bought into the living room.After that, he walked into the house in a carefree manner.The heavy snowing continued.When he walked inside, there was snow on his shoulder and hair.Stanley gently flicked the snow away using the tip of his finger. After that, he changed into his slippers and walked up the stairs.The temperature in the house was up to thirty degrees.It felt just like summer.After entering the house, he started feeling very warm.He then took off his black coat and placed it over his arm.Barely making any noise, he walked upstairs and toward the master bedroom.As soon as he pushed the door open, he could se
Stanley Batton picked up the call earnestly. “Professor Caines…”“Sorry to be calling you this late. When your assistant, Zack Cassidy, delivered the stuff to me today, I was occupied with something else and forgot about it…“I only remembered half an hour ago. Hence, I quickly got up and did the verification test for you. When the results came out, I gave Zack a call…“Zack told me that you weren’t asleep yet and that you just returned from a business trip. He asked me to contact you…“Back when Zack delivered the stuff to me, I had a critical governmental task. I wanted to test your stuff for you after I was done…“Who knew… After I was done, other governmental tasks came one after another. I… Uhm…” Professor Caines sounded like he was drowned in self-blame.Stanley pinched his forehead exhaustedly. After that, he looked at Xyla Quest, who seemed all ears. He tapped on the loudspeaker button.After that, he gently ruffled Xyla’s hair and looked at the phone. “So, what’s the re
Xyla Quest barely had to do anything to win the match.In just twelve minutes, her teammates had carried her to victory.Thanks to the game, she was successfully distracted.However, the moment the game ended, her thoughts began to cloud again.Xyla wondered what would happen to her and Stanley Batton next.She also wondered what kind of trouble their creditor would stir up in their lives.When she thought of this, she subconsciously rubbed her stomach.She was still carrying her unborn children.Xyla felt truly afraid that enmities among the adults might end up harming the children.She felt even more flustered at this thought.After taking a deep breath, Xyla glanced at the clock on the wall.Sensing that Stanley should almost be done cooking the noodles, she put on her slippers and headed downstairs.The indoor temperature was very high.Xyla was only wearing a thin, silk pajama.Even so, she still felt very warm.When she made it downstairs, she was shocked by all th
It was Zack Cassidy…Stanley Batton immediately answered the call.“Mr. Batton, you’re not asleep yet,” Zack said.“Not yet. What’s the matter?” Stanley asked.“Nothing much. I just wanted to ask if I could take leave to return to my hometown…“My mother just called. She said my father doesn’t have much time left…” Zack said.He sounded like he had been crying.When Stanley heard this, his facial expression instantly became stern.He quickly handed over the food in his hands to Xyla Quest.After that, he took a step forward. “Okay… Take my private helicopter… You can use any of my resources… You don’t have to inform me what you’ve used,” Stanley said.In a luxury bedroom on the other side, Zack’s eyes filled with tears when he heard this…He instantly sniffed and tried to maintain his masculine composure. “Alright… Thank you, Mr. Batton…”After that, Zack hung up.When he recalled what Stanley said, he immediately felt warmth spread in his chest.He silently swore in his
The bathroom door was closed.Xyla Quest could hear water splashing.It made her feel even more restless.Xyla put her phone down and walked into the bathroom to brush her teeth as she had eaten something earlier.The moment she walked in, she could see Stanley Batton’s fully naked body.Regardless of how much time had passed, Xyla still couldn't resist being tempted.She quickly looked away. After that, she turned on the faucet and picked up her toothbrush. She put some toothpaste on the toothbrush and began to brush her teeth…The two of them focused on their tasks.When Xyla finished brushing her teeth, Stanley happened to be done with his bath.He reached for a towel from a nearby rack to dry his hair and body.After that, he reached for a bathrobe and slowly put it on.With his hair still wet, he walked over to Xyla.Not saying a word, he picked Xyla up and put her on their large bed.His simple act was a huge tease for Xyla.Stanley pressed the tip of his nose again
