“What is it?” Xyla Quest asked excitedly. “She used to take my dad to the nightclub and ask a table of girls to drink and play cards with them,” Stanley Batton added. Xyla could not believe what she had just heard. It was mind-blowing. Was he talking about her mother-in-law?“This is the first time I’ve heard of something like that.” Her utter shock was reflected in her eyes. “Oh well…” “Wasn’t she afraid that Dad would fall for those girls?”“Not at all. She does whatever she wants because she knows that Dad loves her.” Stanley continued, “My dad is a loyal man. No matter how many girls try to seduce him, he’ll never look at them. Mom is his world.” Judging from the way Stanley spoiled her, Xyla began to wonder if it was a kind of ancestral gene passed to him from his father. Once again, Stanley lowered his head and gently kissed the back of her hand. “Xyla, I’ll do the same too.”His words warmed Xyla’s heart at once. “Really?”“I promise,” Stanley answered firmly.

##“Xyla Quest suspected of having an affair with Zack Cassidy, the personal assistant to the Dragon Group’s President.”##When Sharon Lindt saw the news headline, she could not help but roll her eyes. “Are these people crazy? What kind of nonsense are they talking about?”Realizing that Xyla and Sharon did not catch up with him, Stanley Batton went out to find the two of them. He stood behind them and glanced at Xyla’s phone, curiously. “What’s going on?”Wrinkles started to form on his forehead the moment he saw the news headline. Without further ado, he tapped the notification to open the article. The whole article was patently ridiculous. It alleged that Xyla had been visiting Dragon Group quite often recently.She was found walking with Zack Cassidy, the president’s personal assistant, everytime she went there. Moreover, the two of them would chit-chat intimately like a couple. The article was attached with a picture. It was a picture of Zack holding Xyla. Somebody m

Without further ado, Sharon Lindt slipped into the crowd and danced along with the youngsters. On the other hand, Xyla Quest was busy editing her post while weaving through the crowd with Stanley Batton, her hand still holding on to his. She simply typed a couple of short sentences. “I did not cheat. Stop spreading rumors. I fell, he helped, that’s all. Legal actions will be taken if the rumors go on.”After clarifying herself, she slid her phone into the pocket and glanced in the direction where Sharon initially was. However, she could no longer find Sharon’s tiny figure in the crowd. “Do you want to dance?” Xyla looked at Stanley and asked. “Nah, I’m not going to dance,” Stanley responded. “Okay, then. I’ll find Mom. Order a drink over the bar there. I’ll be right back,” Xyla said. Stanley nodded in response. “Be careful, alright?”“Okay.” With that, Xyla joined the crowd and headed to find Sharon. Stanley immediately turned to the bodyguards behind him. Hearing the

With that out of the way, she turned on the music again and threw the microphone to the DJ. Proud and determined, she returned to the ground floor and walked up to Xyla Quest. After listening to the girl’s declaration, everyone’s attention was now on the blonde girl and Xyla. “Do not regret, girl.” The blonde girl was very confident. Xyla raised her brows, her face as calm as ever. “Bring it on…”She did not expect the girl to be so high-profile. Nevertheless, she was not afraid of her, anyway. The onlookers began to cheer for the blonde girl. Under the crowd’s attention, the girl went up the stage and waved at Xyla provocatively, asking her to get on the stage too. Sharon Lindt gripped Xyla’s hand. “You can do this, Xyla.”Xyla nodded at her before heading to the girl serenely. Stanley sat not far away from her, and his eyes had perfectly captured the ins and outs of the incident.His eyes were as peaceful as a waveless lake. He held a pale blue cocktail in one hand w

If she knew Xyla Quest was such a good dancer, she would not have acted so haughty. Well, guess what? Her reputation was in tatters now. She hated to admit that there really was someone better than her. Meanwhile, Sharon Lindt was totally flabbergasted by her daughter-in-law. Her eyes were fixed upon Xyla, and her excited fists were glued to her chin. Her eyes were filled with pure adoration as if it was going to overflow the next second. “Xyla… Nice one… Ahhhhh!!! I love you so much!!!” Sharon shouted at the top of her voice like a fan meeting her beloved idol. The DJ turned down the music. The disco bar quietened down, and Xyla could clearly hear Sharon’s scream amidst the crowd. “This girl is awesome… She’s so pretty…”“I know, right? She looks like a modest little fairy when she stands there. Who knew that she’s actually a hottie when she dances! Love her!”“Where’s this little fairy from? I think I’m in love with her…”The audience could not stop praising Xyla.

Very soon, the hall became noisy again. Everyone was drinking and dancing, and nobody paid attention to what happened earlier.Sharon Lindt quickly turned Xyla Quest around. She placed both hands on Xyla’s shoulders and looked at her admiringly.“Xyla, let me have a good look at you. You seem like a quiet girl, but why did you look so on fire when you danced earlier? Did you take dancing lessons at school? I never knew you were so good at dancing,” Sharon said.Xyla shook her head. “No… I only started learning when Grandpa was helping me recover.”“What? Alright. Perhaps, you are naturally gifted.” A look of shock appeared in Sharon’s eyes.“Mom… You should stop praising me so much.” Xyla touched her hair embarrassedly.“How could I not praise you? Xyla, I admire you and feel proud of you a lot…” Sharon said.Sharon never held back when she praised Xyla.Stanley Batton, on the other hand, kept quiet and looked at Xyla affectionately.“Xyla, let’s dance for a while longer, shal

Stanley Batton slowly took two white handkerchiefs out of his pocket.After handing one over to Sharon Lindt, he used the other to wipe the sweat off Xyla Quest’s forehead gently and neck.He was very gentle when he did this.“I’ll do it myself…” Xyla held Stanley’s hand and said.“Allow me.” Stanley looked gently at Xyla and continued to wipe her sweat away.The woman who tried to seduce Stanley, as well as her friends, witnessed all of this.They were greatly stunned by Stanley’s drastic change in attitude.Meanwhile, they were also very much impressed with Xyla’s good looks.Now, the woman who tried to seduce Stanley knew why she failed.Xyla was a real beauty, but what about her…? Was she just a wildflower in the corner that would never be noticed?“I didn’t think he could be so gentle.”“That woman is so pretty… It explains why her husband wouldn’t cheat on her.”“She looks a little familiar.”“That man treats everyone coldly except for his wife, whom he also is very

Netizens believed everything that was said, and they were all criticizing Xyla Quest within the comment section.“I don’t care what happened. Cheating can’t be forgiven, right? Is it true that she’s a b*tch like everyone claimed?”“How could things have gotten this disgusting? Xyla Quest, aren’t you ashamed of yourself?”“My entire family’s shocked. Xyla really is a lewd woman. She looks pure on the outside, but she’s disgusting on the inside. Ugh…”“The Quest family is very unfortunate to have a daughter like her. Xyla, will you just die already?”“Her husband is very nice to her. Didn’t he decorate the city with flowers? He’s done so much for her. What else does she want?”Xyla felt very annoyed by all these comments.After briefly scrolling through, she clicked on the topic related to flowers being decorated all over the city.At the top, one of the netizens posted a Weibo article while claiming to be Xyla’s distant relative.The person said that Xyla really was the recipie
