Upon seeing Stanley Batton’s facial expression grow colder, the women who were against Sophie Kenwick became bolder.The rich, short-haired woman started adding more negative remarks. “Mr. Batton, you can’t let this poor filth go. She was so awful, casually using your name and attacking other people. You must punish her severely to preserve your dignity.”“That’s right. Not only could the girl not afford anything, but she even told lies here. I am honestly speechless,” a sales assistant said.“Mr. Batton, I hope you won’t let her off the hook so easily,” another staff member said.Stanley’s face suddenly turned unfriendly.Meanwhile, Sophie smiled helplessly. There was a sense of ease about her expression.To the others, her reaction was merely her attempt at keeping up with appearances, pretending to be calm when in reality, she should be panicking on the inside.Judging from Stanley’s reaction, they had high expectations that Sophie would be in trouble.Instead, she silently

She was acting all humbled now.Sophie couldn't resist rolling her eyes at these people, albeit impressed by how quickly their attitude changed.“Mr. Batton, I'm sorry. We were blind not to see it.”“Yes, we were wrong. I hope you and this pretty girl over here won’t hold a grudge against us.”“Oh my god, it’s all just a misunderstanding. I’m sorry, Mr. Batton. I’m sorry to your sister, too.”Everyone had started speaking all at once.Soon, the wealthy women surrounded Stanley and Sophie, bowing and apologizing humbly.Some even went down on their knees and pressed their palms together, seemingly genuine.“Mr. Batton, Miss... we are truly sorry. Please don’t hold it against us.”“Just think of us

If they were left behind, they’d only end up dead.The women truly felt that they had made a huge mistake today.They would never have asked for trouble if they had known this would be the outcome. They were daring and arrogant because they genuinely thought that Sophie Kenwick was a powerless and poor girl. Stanley Batton kept a calm expression on his face with an indifferent look in his eyes. “Why are you still standing around?” he directed at them, then glared at the bodyguards around him.They instantly nodded and mercilessly dragged those people outside.Although they each struggled repeatedly, nothing worked.Throughout the entire process, Sophie was smiling, not even bothering to say a single word.Her adorable face looked particularly pretty because of her smile.The bystanders loitering around were also shuddering on the inside, silently watching the development in fear.That was because many of them were part of the group that belittled his sister.Some of them

Even things like shoes, too. We’ll get everything one at a time. There’s no rush, so we’ll take our time,” he added.Sophie followed behind him obediently like a pretty doll, merely nodding

None of them had returned to the country.What did that mean, unless Stanley Batton was lying?He might have cheated on his wife.‘D*mn!’ Sharon Lindt thought.She promptly stood up and addressed the women who were cheerfully drinking coffee and chatting in front of her. “I have to leave as something urgent came up. You girls can continue.”With so much happening, she needed to look for Xyla Quest first to see how she was doing and if she was feeling depressed.After that, she would yell at her disappointing son, ask him to get a divorce, and kick him out.A jerk like him didn’t deserve to be with Xyla.He also didn’t deserve the Batton family’s inheritance.Before her friends could say anything, Sharon stormed out of the cafe with her phone in hand, feeling inexplicably angry the more she thought about this.She started her pink Maserati engine but didn’t depart immediately.

What’s all this mindless blabbering about?” he asked his mother.Hearing this, she felt angry again for some reason.“I’m silent not because I’m admitting to what you claim I’ve done, but I have no clue what you’re talking about.” She sneered. “Do you think acting dumb will save you? You’re already on the list of hot topics. Did you think we wouldn’t find out when you’re openly cheating on Xyla?”Sharon didn’t understand why he would do such a thing.He had such a good life. Why would he cheat?What was wrong with him?“Stanley, I know Xyla is pregnant, and you might feel lonely at times. But e
