When she heard this, she immediately looked at the long-haired sales assistant. “Why does that name sound so familiar?”“You’re so clueless. She’s the CEO of X Entertainment, the company that your idol, Josh Batton, is attached to,” the other woman said.She became even more exasperated after hearing this. “What? I can’t believe it!“I’ve seen Georgie’s pictures before, but I couldn’t recognize her face,” she added, feeling even more remorseful now.“That’s what you get for not spending more time on Weibo. Look at me, I frequently check out stuff on Weibo, and I can remember some of those people.”The sales assistant felt even worse.Not long after Georgie Clementine had left with her new necklace, Henry Armstrong came up from behind and hugged her.He followed her along while casually checking out the various brands that he wouldn’t buy. “Why didn’t you wait for me where we were? I didn’t see you when I came out, and I looked for you everywhere.”As he spoke, he noticed the ba

Georgie Clementine wanted to have more than one child as they would be lonely without a sibling.She was fond of children for a start, so she didn't want to limit herself to having only one.When Henry Armstrong heard this, a stern look came on his face. “No way! We’re only going to have one, and I won’t agree to another one. I’ve already told you why.”Her frown deepened. “Who was it that said he'd respect my decisions for the rest of his life? I happen to like children, and I feel very strongly about having two kids."He fell silent.Although he wanted to refute, he could tell that Georgie was upset. He immediately raised his hands to surrender. “Fine, fines as you wish. Please don’t be mad.”“That’s more like it," she replied. "However, I am not talking about the second child right after this one. We’d have to wait until our firstborn is at least six or seven. I don't want my career to be affected by having two kids consecutively.”“All right. Anything you want, my love.”He

Georgie Clementine and Henry Armstrong simultaneously took their phones to have a look.The same content of a news article from Weibo appeared on their phones.“Georgie Clementine’s expensive betrothal gift.”Glancing at her fiance with a puzzled look, she clicked on the article to find a source, claiming to be her neighbor, had revealed a private matter on Weibo a while ago.This neighbor mentioned that Georgie’s parents received 30,000,000 in cash as her betrothal gift and that her mother was the one who shared the news.The article even posted a photo of the source, revealing the face of a woman whom Georgie recognized as a daughter of the family that lived opposite their unit.It wasn’t surprising at all that her mother had shared the news. Small town folks around her mother's age generally liked showing off anything related to their children.It was practically a hobby of theirs to boast about their children's accomplishments.The news article already garnered over six-fig

Georgie Clementine shrugged helplessly.“Fine, we’ll eat at home,” Henry Armstrong nodded, fully understanding how Georgie’s parents felt.Parents around the world would do anything for their children.At this moment, he had a deeper sense of respect for Georgie’s parents.That evening, everyone had a sumptuous meal of hot pot at home amidst a joyful banter.Henry knew how to make his future in-laws happy, repeatedly joking while never stopping putting food onto their plates throughout the meal.Although Henry came from a wealthy family, he didn’t behave like a snobbish person at all and managed to keep Georgie’s parents happy all on his own.The two of them grew even more fond of him now as they talked and laughed all night long.Georgie felt extremely satisfied as she observed this, thinking that she had indeed found the right person.Halfway through the meal, the doorbell started ringing.Ding-dong. Ding-dong.Hearing it, Henry immediately stood up to walk to the door. “I

Although Xyla Quest wanted to get help, she couldn’t make a sound.She was on the verge of a mental breakdown, with this feeling of helplessness making her feel awful.Blood was still flowing out of her body, staining half of the carpet beside her bed in mere moments.The scent of blood wafted through the room, serving a constant reminder that she was about to lose her babies.Tears began to trickle down her face uncontrollably, feeling like her heart was being pulled out of her chest.Xyla hoped that Stanley Batton could quickly make his way over to save her from the misery.Dizziness took over, and she could sense herself passing out.To prevent herself from completely losing consciousness, she bit her lip forcefully.Her teeth pierced through her lip, but she couldn’t feel anything.Nothing hurt as much as her chest and her stomach.‘My babies, please hang on. Dad will be here real soon,’ Xyla thought in her heart.Right then, she felt as if she could see the God of Death

A strong sense of urgency and panic caused Stanley Batton’s eyes to well with tears.Opening the main door, he dashed through the wind and snow, carrying Xyla Quest into his black Bugatti Veyron.He fastened the seatbelt on his wife to prevent her from falling over before getting into the driver's seat himself.He didn’t even bother putting on his seatbelt before speeding away from the house.A black Bugatti Veyron could be seen on the flat tar road as it accelerated at top speed. It was a magnificent sight.Stanley focused on driving as he spoke to Xyla. “Xyla, hang in there. We’ll arrive at the hospital very soon.”However, she didn’t respond at all.Her face had turned pale, her breathing growing weaker by the second.She seemed like a fragile flower on the mountainside that was about to fall off.It was as if any gust of wind could easily cause her to fall and be crushed into pieces.Stanley’s heart ached at the helpless sight.He rarely felt afraid throughout his life b

Stanley Batton took the elevator to the floor where Xyla Quest’s VIP emergency unit was located.At that moment, Stephen Harris was the only person sitting outside the emergency unit.Seeing Stanley, Stephen immediately stood up to approach him. “She’s already receiving emergency treatment inside. Don’t worry, our doctors are the best in the country. I’m sure they’ll be able to save her.“The Director is there, too, and he’s an expert in this field.”Stanley frowned deeply, nodding to acknowledge his words, but he didn’t reply. He sat down on a bench, his spine stiff with tension, considering how frantic he was still feeling.He had no idea what kind of torture his wife was going through inside the emergency unit.He also didn’t know if she would be fine like what Stephen said.All he could think about now was the image of finding Xyla lying in a pool of blood and her face drained of color.That scene was now permanently etched onto his mind, leaving him feeling vulnerable.
