“…Yes,” Stanley Batton answered.“Are you moving in together? Is it because your relationship has developed to this state, or is it all an act for her family?” Henry Armstrong asked.“The latter,” Stanley said.“Tsk… My excitement was all a waste,” Sebastian Brenand said straightforwardly.“Did you develop feelings for our sister-in-law on that night? Have you really fallen for her? Henry asked.“You like to gossip,” Stanley looked blankly at Sebastian before standing up and walking away.“No… Why is this person walking away before answering the question properly?” Henry looked helpless.“Isn’t this normal?” Gary Lakes chuckled.“Do you guys think he has fallen in love?” Henry asked before nonchalantly spinning a beer bottle on the table.After a second, the beer bottle began spinning quickly on the spot.“I don’t know if he loves her or not, but I’m sure he has some positive feelings for her. If that were not the case, why would a man like him, who has never allowed himself anywhere n

Among the girls, the one dressed in a body-hugging black dress right across Sebastian Brenand immediately caught his eye.With a sexy body and beautiful face, the girl seemed like a combination of an angel and a succubus.Most importantly, she did not have the typical looks of an online celebrity. After seeing faces of online celebrities nearly every day, Sebastian was getting a little tired of them.“I’ll have this one… What’s your name?” Sebastian asked as he looked at the girl dressed in black.“I… I am Rachel Wood,” the girl answered softly. She seemed polite yet wary. Having had a lot of experience with girls, Sebastian could immediately tell that she was being genuinely wary.“You’re the one. Come with me,” Sebastian said before directly getting up and walking away with his arms around her.Rachel stayed obediently by his side and did not say a word.The manager had told her that she could not afford making any of the male guests in this room angry. Therefore, she had to be very

Soon after, Georgie Clementine walked in. She was wearing a set of slim women’s suit with a white shirt on the inside. It was the standard outfit of professional beauty.With her new ‘Xin Zhilei hairstyle’, Georgie seemed even more capable and professional.“When did you change your hairstyle?” Xyla Quest asked.“Last night,” Georgie said with a chuckle.After that, Georgie placed a red folder in front of Xyla.“This is the results for the trainee assessments. I just tabulated them. Some of them have been becoming worse for four consecutive months. I am planning to eliminate them. Have a look…” Georgie said.“Got it. Speaking of which, Georgie, tell your subordinates to pay extra attention to Jay Corben. Hmm, not only can this kid sing and dance well, he even knows how to write songs. He also had good looks and a uniquely straightforward personality. I believe he will become someone capable in the future. During the winter break, speak to our partner, Goose Factory, and arrange f

“I heard that Dragon Group withdrew their investments from the Sullivan family’s business because Tom Sullivan made the wife of Dragon Group’s heir upset,” Georgie Clementine said.“Huh? Dragon Group’s heir?” Xyla Quest had a look of disbelief on her face.What kind of woman could influence Dragon Group’s heir to make such a huge decision?How much did the heir love her to treat her in this way?“Yeah… He is the current CEO of Dragon Group based in the Atlantis headquarters,” Georgie explained.“The CEO of Dragon Group based in the Atlantis headquarters is the family’s heir?” Xyla asked in surprise. This was the first time she had heard about it.Dragon Group’s new CEO had been an excellent leader ever since he took over. Until now, Dragon Group’s stock price was still increasing steadily.According to what Xyla knew, he was a very capable person.There was a saying that, since time immemorial, heroes fell only at the feet of pretty women. Even Dragon Group’s CEO had such weakn

The lights were all switched on in the house, making it seem almost as bright as day.Meanwhile, the house was warm enough due to the working heater. It felt almost like summer inside.After dusting the snow off her body, Xyla Quest quickly took off her large coat and hung it near the entrance. She then changed into her slippers and entered the living room.At that moment, Stanley Batton was sitting on the couch watching the news on the television. Coincidentally, the news being broadcast was related to how Dragon Group had successfully withdrawn its investments from the Sullivan Group.Dressed in a black, silk set of house clothes, he seemed very noble.Meanwhile, his fair skin seemingly glimmered under the bright lights.Xyla quickly walked over and sat next to him before opening a pack of chips.“Are you interested in this too?” She asked as she ate the chips.“Just browsing through,” he said.“I heard that Dragon Group withdrew their investments from the Sullivan family because the

By the time Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton made it to the hospital, Jeremy was sitting outside the emergency room with wounds all over his body.His hair was all messed up. Meanwhile, his face and his body were covered in blood. His left arm was also covered in a large white bandage.When Xyla and Stanley saw Jeremy, they quickly walked up to him.Since they had rushed to the hospital, and both were wearing thin-soled cotton slippers, their feet were freezing against the hospital’s marble ground.However, Xyla could not be bothered by that. Instead, she sat next to Jeremy and looked at him worriedly.“Dad, what happened to your arm? Is it broken? What about the rest of your body? Why is there so much blood all over you? Did you get hurt anywhere else?” Xyla asked.“The blood all over me doesn’t belong to me. It belongs to your aunt. When the assassin charged at me, your aunt selflessly stood in front of me. The knife went straight through your aunt’s chest,” Jeremy said as tears began s

Jeremy Quest immediately felt calmer.When Xyla Quest heard what the doctor said, she felt more certain about her suspicions.Although her hypothesis might seem ridiculous, she trusted her instincts.“Alright, thank you, doctor…” Jeremy let out a long sigh of relief.“Don’t worry about it. Miss Conner will have to remain in the emergency room for an hour to be observed. After that, she can return to the sickbay. During this period, you must make sure her wound stays dry. Also, pay attention to her diet. Make sure she doesn’t eat anything spicy or food that may upset her stomach,” the doctor said seriously.Jeremy nodded furiously. It felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off his shoulders.Very soon, May was pushed out of the emergency room. Due to the anesthetics, she was still unconscious. Her face seemed terribly pale.Jeremy quickly walked over and helped the nurse push May Conner to the sickbay with a single hand.There was a pained look in his eyes.Xyla and Stanley Batton tu

When Stanley Batton asked the question, Xyla Quest immediately knew what he was trying to say.“What do you think?” She asked softly as she smiled.Indeed, Stanley was a smart person. It explained why he could work for his big brother as an important member of the gang.“I think the same as you do,” Stanley said calmly. He was twirling his fingers around through the smoke.“How do you know what I’m thinking?” Xyla asked.After that, Xyla turned the car around with a seemingly trained motion as she spun the steering wheel and placed one hand against the car’s window frame.The way she was driving made her seem both beautiful and cool.“That’s because you are very smart,” he said.“You are also very smart. After all, you work for your big brother in a gang,” Xyla said.“What are you going to do next?” Stanley asked after taking another puff from the cigarette. With the smoke wafting in front of his face, it was getting difficult to see clearly his facial expression.“Investigate,” Xyla a
