“In fact, medical knowledge is secondary. I can just get him to memorize some simple medical theories and facts. The most important thing is that he has to look decent, and he must be a new face.”At this, Xyla’s mind went into chaos. No matter how she brainstormed, she couldn’t find such a person in her circle. It was giving her a headache. “A new face… he also has to look decent… Who should we get?” mused Georgie. Her head was starting to ache as well. Xyla suddenly perked up with an idea. “I know!” “Who?” “That Five Batton…”At the thought of him, a glint flashed in Xyla’s eyes. Although she hasn’t been acquainted with him for long, her intuition told her that this man could be trusted. After all, he had previously been reckless when saving her. Even if his identity was a little unique, she couldn’t sense any arrogance or vulgar behavior from him. Moreover, this man was not greedy for money, so she felt that he was actually a good-natured man. Most importantly, he was ex
Frowning slightly, he slowly took out his phone. After reading the contents of the WeChat message, his forehead gradually relaxed. The icy look on his face seemed to have warmed up as well. Under the scrutiny of everyone else, he replied to the WeChat message with an ‘Okay’. Everyone exchanged looks of disbelief. Ever since Stanley entered the company, he had set a rule that the usage of cellphones was forbidden during meetings. This rule applied to him as well. Whenever his phone rang, he would either hang up immediately or ignore it. So, what happened to him today? On the other side, Xyla was thrilled when she got his reply so she simply sent him a voice message, “Shall we meet at Grandview Western Restaurant tonight at seven?” Her voice was gentle and melodious as always. Stanley quietly put the phone to his ear and listened intently, then replied with another ‘Okay’. Xyla sent another voice message, “I’ll send you a WeChat message once I’ve reserved a room.” ‘Okay,’ h
“It’s like this… I’m actually married, but I don’t know what my husband looks like or what he does. I only know that his name is Stanley Batton. The specifics are very complicated, so I don’t know how to explain it to you, but I only promised to marry this man back then to get something done,” explained Xyla solemnly. “And then?” asked Stanley. Xyla began to tell him about how she had been exposed by Emily a few days ago, and how her pre-planned replacement had then passed away. She spoke solemnly while he listened intently, nodding a little in between. After hearing her story, he said without hesitation, “Sure.” His nonchalance was beyond Xyla’s expectations, so it shocked her a little. “Really?” “Yeah.” “I won’t make you work for free. I’ll pay you. I’ll pay you way more than what you normally earn.” Stanley faintly raised an eyebrow and looked at her. “And how much would that be?” “How is two hundred thousand a month?” “Two hundred thousand?” repeated an amused S
“Okay, hurry on home.”Having said that, Stanley braced the snow and walked swiftly to the roadside. The streetlights elongated his shadow. Watching him go, Xyla immediately felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Taking off the coat, she quickly chased after him and stuffed it into his hands. “Put this on. I’m not cold. Why don’t I send you back? There’s no need to trouble your friend.” “My friend will be here soon,” he said as he prepared to drape the coat over her shoulders again. Xyla nimbly dodged away before quickly running to her red Maserati, not giving him any chances. Staring at that slender silhouette, Stanley’s cold lips gradually curved upward slightly. After Xyla got into her car, she disappeared into the night. A little while after she left, a row of black Rolls Royces stopped steadily in front of Stanley. Zack could immediately be seen leading a group of black-clothed men as they stood respectfully in front of Stanley, bowing. Zack opened a car door for Stanley,
‘If this wasn’t exposed and someone moved in, will you take responsibility when something happens? Boycott Quest Properties! Boycott Imperial Prime!’ ‘Imperial Prime? I think it should be Scamming Prime instead! Bunch of dog sh*ts, how dare they cut corners in such things! The immoral Quest family should go bankrupt now!’ ‘Josh Batton must be mental to endorse them! If something really happens when residents move in, will you f*cking take responsibility? Is this what you call good quality? Bullsh*t!’ Now, not only was the Quest family under fire, even their ambassador, Josh Batton, was being dragged into this. All of this made Xyla furious. Figuring that the family must have found out by now, she quickly got out of her car and rushed into the living room. The atmosphere at home was dark. At that moment, Jeremy, Emily, and May were all seated in a row on the long sofa. Jeremy’s expression was dark, while the faces of Emily and her mother looked equally terrible too. Xyla hur
Xyla went upstairs without giving Emily so much as a sideways glance. This feeling of being ignored annoyed Emily a lot. She abruptly stood up and called loudly after Xyla, “No matter how calm you try to act, you’re still panicking on the inside!” She continued to mock Xyla, saying, “For the sake of gaining merit, you’re willing to take on everything by yourself, aren’t you? Aren’t you afraid of not being able to handle this mess and finally end up destroying yourself in the process? What an idiot! Is there really something wrong with your horoscope? Are you born with a constitution that brings calamities? Why did something like this happen the moment you took over the project?” Emily’s words were like needles, prickling at Xyla’s ears. However, Xyla didn’t want to waste time with her. She would rather utilize her energy to solve the issue that was now bothering her. Just like that, Emily stood where she was as Xyla’s silhouette slowly disappeared from her sight. Xyla’s indiffe
This incident would cause a butterfly effect. Once it got out of control, the entire Quest Group would go down with it. Xyla called Georgie immediately and the call was answered in no time. “President Xyla, I was just about to call you but you called me first. I saw the news,” said Georgie, sounding anxious.“Georgie, I’ve taken responsibility for this and said that I would handle it myself.” “I knew you would do such a thing. Although this looks like a huge crisis, a great opportunity is hidden in it. If you can handle this situation well, Uncle Quest will definitely have more confidence in you. It’s like the saying, wealth comes from taking risks,” replied Georgie. Georgie had always been this way. Xyla did not need to explain too much for Georgie to understand her, and Xyla felt herself fortunate to have such a capable right-hand woman. “President Xyla, I think our priority now is to suppress this incident. Before we have evidence, we can’t let it cause more damage to the
After another five minutes, Xyla successfully found the real IP address. The location was a prime area in Atlantis—Valdor University, Block 8, Building 106. Vrrt. Vrrt. Vrrt. Just then, Xyla’s phone vibrated. Upon seeing the name ‘Aunt Lana Harrison’, Xyla immediately answered.The person on the other end spoke in a gentle and kind tone, “Xyla dear, I saw the news about your family. Do you need any help from me? I know that it’s all just rumors.” “It’s just a small matter. Does it require you, Madam Attorney General, to personally take care of this?” said Xyla with a laugh. “If it’s something to do with you Xyla, it’s not small at all. If you hadn’t treated me back in Country Y, I’d have met Satan by now. Enough with the nonsense. Tell me what I need to do. You have to give me a task, otherwise, I won’t hang up,” said Lana stubbornly. Xyla held her forehead helplessly. “Why don’t you help me catch the rumormonger? I’ve found that person’s real IP address.” Since the woman
