Stanley Batton’s eyebrows twitched while looking at her with a serious face. “Who are you?” Xyla questioned.He asked calmly, “Why would u suddenly ask this question?”After a second, his eyes were searching for an emotion to show.“I just feel like your real identity is not that simple.” Xyla said.“For example?”“Today, I went to an auction house…”“Yes, you told me.”“Only special people can attend this auction.” Xyla said.“You told me this as well.”“I saw Sebastian Brenand there. I even heard that Sebastian is a young master from the Brenand family that is famous in Atlantis.” Xyla said truthfully.The expression on his face did not change. “So?”“So, I suspect that you’re also some rich family’s young master… A family more powerful than Sebastian’s. I think you're lying to me.” Xyla said straightforwardly.Ding dong...ding dong…The doorbell rang.Stanley did not answer her and got up slowly to open the door.A few men in black suits stood outside the door.Ex

“This, I helped Aunty to bid.” Xyla Quest said. “It’s pretty isn’t it”“Yeah.” Stanley Batton quietly looked at the set of jewelry, “You like it?”“Yeah I like it.” Xyla stared at the set of jewelry, her eyes full of joy.He said nothing and quietly looked at Xyla’s beautiful face.After looking at the items for a while, Xyla unwillingly put them away and closed the boxes. She then turned to look at Stanley.After some thought, she realized that her earlier judgement may be wrong.If the fifth master was some son of a rich person, what he wore and used would be famous brands and not some unknown cheap brand.Even the house he lived in before this, it’s impossible for him to live in such a small house. His car won’t be a black Honda either.He also had no reason to hide his identity and stay by her side. If he was such a high-profile person, why would he waste his time doing this?Maybe the reason why Sebastian Brenand was treating Stanley with respect is because the boss he is

Mary Sullivan could not understand why he was angry.Didn’t he say that he wanted the vase no matter what? She managed to buy the vase, shouldn’t he be thanking her?“I told you that you need to get the vase no matter what, but shouldn’t you assess the situation as well? Eight hundred million and you still want it? Did I not tell you that this vase’s price is three hundred million at the most?” Tony Sullivan said angrily.“But didn’t you say u like this vase? If you like it that much then just buy it, so what if it’s over the market price by five hundred million? Why does it matter?” Mary said, dissatisfied.“You…” Tony was so angry that he was at a loss for words, he raised his hands and hit Mary in the head once more. “You failure… What I’m trying to say is that it is obvious if it’s overpriced you should not buy it.”The pain spreaded throughout the back of her head, making her dizzy. While rubbing the spot that she got hit, she complained. “Then why did you not tell me properl

If Mary Sullivan didn’t offend her, she would not try to out bid her for the flower vase and leave her in such a situation.Xyla Quest, that b*tch!**The next morning, Xyla woke up early.Because there was not much activity in the morning, she lazily got into the bathroom. She turned on the warm water for the bathtub, added a bath bomb and some rose petals.She comfortably sat in the bathtub, surrounded by rose petals with a face mask on her face.Her body was mostly covered in bubble foam, only her two white as snow long arms were visible. It made her look very seductive.Even though her injury on her left shoulder has been healed, it still left an ugly and disgusting looking giant red scar.Ring, ring, ring… The phone beside the bathtub rang. Xyla noticed that it was Rebecca Robin who was calling. She immediately picked up the phone, put it on speaker mode and continued to enjoy her bubble bath. “Hello Aunt Rebecca, how are you?”“Xyla, remember at yesterday’s auction I bou

The next second, Xyla Quest could smell a familiar cologne smell flow through her nose.She lifted her head. She noticed she was in a man’s embrace.His hands on her forehead, protecting it so she did not feel any pain.The guy said with a deep voice from the top of her head, “You came to get a hug from me early in the morning?”Xyla got embarrassed, her face went red. She stepped back and looked into his deep eyes. “What are you saying?”Her bathrobe was a bit revealing. From the angle he was looked at, he could see her alluring lines on her body. It made him stiff.He frowned, “I’ll go open the door… you wait here.”“There’s no need, I can get it…”“No, you're not allowed…” He said as he opened her room door and pushed her back into her room.Stanley Batton did not let her say another word and quickly walked towards the front door.Since someone is going to open the door for her, Xyla decided to go back to the bathroom and start washing up.After quickly showering, she wor

Buzz… Buzz… Buzz… At this moment, Xyla Quest’s phone vibrated. She looked towards it.She saw that it was her dad who was calling, she quickly picked it up, “Tomorrow is your aunt’s birthday, there would be a celebration tomorrow noon at the house. There would be a lot of people attending… You and Stan must attend.”“We will, Dad.”“Remember to dress formally, there will be important guests attending.” Jeremy Quest said.“Ok.”After hanging up the phone, Xyla looked up at the man standing in front of her. “Tomorrow is May Conner’s birthday, Dad wants us to attend. You have to accompany me, is that alright?”“Ok.” His words were like gold. He walked towards the dining room, “Let’s eat breakfast…”Xyla stood up and followed him to the dining room.After sitting down, she drank a sip of orange juice and picked up her phone. She called Sharon Lindt. In order to eat, she set her phone on hands-free mode and put it beside her.When the call got through, she asked Sharon when she wou

An unknown flame surged through Xyla Quest's heart immediately. Her face which initially had a smile on it froze at that moment. She quickened her footsteps at that instant and stared at that woman with cold eyes.“I have no interest in plastic girls and easy girls…” Stanley Batton coldly replied. He had never even laid his eyes on the girl. His dashing eyebrows were squeezed together and he was not even trying to hide his disgust towards her. “What? Easy girl?” The girl got so angry, even her face turned green.“Who else could it be? Miss easy girl, you took my seat.” Xyla stood in front of her and squinted at her from above. Her eyes were filled with indifference. Stanley’s calm gaze laid onto Xyla’s countenance. The corners of his lips curved into an arc which looked like a smile yet it wasn’t.The girl frowned unhappily and stood up right away. She looked at Stanley angrily before looking at Xyla and said, “You… you two went too far.”“If you have the nerve to seduce some

“Hey, come pick me up at the airport, I have arrived at the Atlantis Airport…” A sweet feminine voice was heard from the other side of the phone.“Didn’t you say that you will be arriving at night?” His voice was starting to become gentle. It was rare to see him being this gentle. She could not clearly hear whose call was that, but she guessed that she might be a very important person to him.“I’ll send someone to fetch you… By that time, wait for me obediently at the hotel, alright?” He said.“Can’t you fetch me by yourself? I miss you…” “I can’t, good girl…” He said.At this moment, Xyla Quest only felt that her heart was tugged by something.Wait for him at the hotel...Could it be that this was his new girlfriend?He was originally single, she knew that very well. However, that did not mean that he would be single forever.Judging by his tone, both of them should be passionately in love. Even if they were not, they should be in an ambiguous relationship, right?
