Chapter 1774
Xyla Quest personally witnessed a red spider lily tattoo appearing on the back of her right hand.The tattoo seemed almost like a real flower…What was going on?Why would a tattoo suddenly appear on her hand?It was a red spider lily…Red spider lilies signified change.According to myths, they only appeared in the land of the dead. They would appear along the river of hell with either only flowers or only leaves, but never simultaneously.Legend had it that its scent contained a unique magical ability to summon memories of the dead…Just as the thought occurred to Xyla, she could suddenly smell a faint fragrance.This was something she had never smelled before.It was neither the fragrance in the car nor her perfume… Xyla suspiciously brought the flower close to the tip of her nose.Immediately after that, she could smell the strong fragrance.This fragrance was identical to the one she had smelled earlier.Never mind that the red spider lily tattoo suddenly appeared o

Xyla Quest felt that it was all too coincidental.Perhaps, it wasn’t a coincidence at all.Did the things she said earlier make the nine-tailed fox angry? Was that why it was throwing a tantrum now?Xyla felt even more restless when she thought about this.That thing was a ruthless creature. If it got angry, the consequences would be dire.If Stanley Batton had fallen into its hands, he would undoubtedly be in grave danger…Xyla might also not be able to make it out alive.However, Xyla couldn’t understand what part of the things she said offended the nine-tailed fox.Outside, the winds continued to bellow…The wind scale was probably at level seven or eight.The car swayed from left to right as if it would topple over at any moment…Many trees by the road illuminated by the car lights were swaying wildly due to the wind.Various objects including glass on many tall buildings were sent flying into the air.They fell all over the place.Outside, clattering sounds could be

Apart from waiting for her death, there was nothing else Xyla Quest could do…She tried calling Stanley Batton and all the contacts related to him, but nothing worked.Xyla finally gave up when her phone ran out of battery…Time went by oddly slowly.Half an hour felt like half a century.After half an hour, the weather became normal again.The blizzard stopped, and sunlight reappeared.All the extreme phenomena disappeared.When the world became bright again, Xyla saw a horrendous sight…There were broken branches and glass shards all over the road.Many cars had collided into the walls from the wind.Many of them were even flipped over.The strange thing was there wasn’t an ounce of snow on the road despite such a huge blizzard earlier.Many drivers got out of their cars.Their jaws dropped at the sight of the mess when all the snow melted away.Suddenly, everyone had all sorts of theories.“What’s going on? There was a lot of snow earlier. Why isn’t there any snow on

Stanley Batton looked serious and stern as he drove his Bugatti Veyron fast. When he saw his Rolls-Royce and Xyla Quest, who was inside, he immediately stopped the car in front of the Rolls-Royce in a cool drifting motion.After that, the two of them got out of their cars simultaneously…When Xyla got out, she ignored everything else and rushed over to Stanley before hugging him tightly.Although Xyla was 167 centimeters tall, she still looked tiny in front of Stanley.Stanley towered over her.In his arms, Xyla looked petite.Xyla was very glad that Stanley seemed alright.Only the heavens knew how many terrible things Xyla had imagined on the way to him.At this moment, Xyla wished her body could fuse with Stanley to become one so that they’d never have to part.“I’m so glad you’re fine… You had no idea how I tried to call you on your phone. I even called the office and Zack… None of my calls went through… I was worried sick. I thought the nine-tailed fox went to harm you…”

“After the nine-tailed fox tortured me at home, I sent you messages on WeChat to explain everything… From what you told me, you didn’t seem to have received those messages, did you?” Xyla Quest asked.Stanley Batton hugged her tightly again. “I didn’t receive anything…”Xyla frowned deeply. “The demon fox must have stopped my messages from getting through… It used some odd method to prevent them from reaching you…“Also, it must have also been the one that stopped you and I from making calls on our phones… Could it be doing this to torture us and make us worry?” Xyla carefully analyzed.Apart from this, she couldn’t think of any other reason.After that, she quickly showed Stanley the red spider lily tattoo on the back of her right hand…“Look at this…” Xyla said.Stanley frowned deeply. He naturally held her hand and looked at the tattoo…“Did you get a tattoo? It looks good…” Stanley said.After saying that, Stanley could smell a unique scent.“Did you use a new perfume? Wh

Many people were busy taking pictures by the road.Everything that happened seemed like major news to ordinary folks.Xyla Quest’s gaze unintentionally landed somewhere outside the car. She could see that some reporters had already made their way over and were interviewing pedestrians…Xyla quickly looked away. She then slowly closed her eyes.She decided to nap for a while.Everything that happened earlier made her feel exhausted.Stanley drove with one hand while habitually holding Xyla’s hand in his. He brought her hand up to his lips and gently kissed it with his head lowered…His kiss was very gentle. It caused ripples in Xyla’s heart.However, Xyla wasn’t in the mood to think about such feelings.She had too many things to worry about.What would she do?“Oh, right… Honey…“I’ve already sorted out the paperwork for the pharmaceutical factory and the leukemia medicine production. I’ve also built the factory and hired employees for you… You can get started anytime…” Sta
Chapter 1780
It was snowing in the suburbs. The sky and earth looked gray and dull.The hill that came into sight was very tall.All the plants on the hill had already wilted, and there was snow everywhere.It was a harsh yellow hue mixed with the cold white hue as far as the eyes could see. The entire hill looked lifeless.This hill was approximately a hundred meters tall. It was considered a tall hill in the hilly terrain of Atlantis.One could vaguely see a white building at its peak…Due to the great distance, Xyla Quest couldn’t see clearly what it was.After looking around, Xyla felt increasingly curious about Stanley’s objective of bringing her here.In the end, she still couldn’t suppress her curiosity. She slowly turned to look at Stanley’s face. “So… Why did you bring me here?”Could they be going to that building on the hill?Stanley smiled a little before gently ruffling her hair. “You’ll find out when we get there…”Xyla nodded obediently like an expensive white Persian cat.

The rocks were making Xyla Quest’s feet ache.On top of that, the path was slippery due to the snow. Each step had to be taken carefully. That was why Xyla felt exhausted.“But… I can still take it… I’m not that weak…” Xyla said.As soon as Xyla finished speaking, Stanley Batton bent over and picked her up.Stanley gently carried her through the wind and snow, step by step, as they headed up the hill.This affectionate scene made the bodyguards around them jealous.The single men instantly felt attacked.The bodyguards behind Xyla and Stanley were very far away.A few of them couldn’t resist discussing among themselves in hushed voices.“Mr. Batton truly adores his wife…”“Exactly. He treats her like the most fragile thing on earth.”“I suspect that he would give up his life if his wife asked for it.”“I only admire two people in this world. The first one is Mr. Batton. He had only taken over Dragon Group not too long ago, but he’s already brought it to greater heights with
