Xyla Quest saw a pale young man lying on the ground not far away from her. A beautiful young girl with a double ponytail was kneeling next to the man. The girl was shaking the man’s body anxiously, her fair chubby face full of tears. Xyla immediately hurried to them and knelt beside the man to take his pulse. She took a closer look at the man’s face. It was ashen and tinged with green. His lips were pale, and his dark circles were heavy. The man was tall but slim.He was a handsome guy, even if he looked a little haggard at the moment. Judging from his pulse and complexion, Xyla was convinced that he was poisoned. It seemed that he had taken in a high concentration of sodium cyanide. Sodium cyanide was extremely toxic. The golden timeframe to save someone from cyanide poisoning was within ten to twenty minutes. He would die once they missed the golden timeframe. There were only two ways to cure cyanide poisoning. The first one was using Chinese medicine to deto
Xyla Quest’s heart softened when she looked at the girl. She gently patted the girl’s back and comforted her, “Don’t worry, girl. She’ll be fine.”The girl did not answer Xyla. She kept on crying with her head down. Uneasiness and fear were written all over her face.“Let’s take a seat over there while waiting for him.” Following that statement, Xyla held the girl’s hand and led her to the bench.The girl sat down obediently as Xyla told her to though she still refused to reply to her. Xyla understood that the girl needed some time to herself, so she decided to stop talking. She plopped down next to the girl, quietly accompanying her outside the emergency room.The two remained silent for a long time before the girl finally opened her mouth. “Thank you so much,” she blubbered.“It’s the least I can do,” Xyla said. “He’ll be fine, right?” the girl asked. “Yeah, he’ll most probably be fine. Don’t worry. I’ve learned medicines before. I know his condition,” Xyla reassured her.
His tone suggested impatience and loathing. Wrath and resentment surrounded him as if he was a devil from hell. Emily Quest could feel her scalp prickle. She immediately sank to the ground, repeatedly kowtowing to beg for his mercy. “Master… I’m… I’m so sorry… Please give me another chance…”“I’ve given you a second chance, haven’t I? How dare you to ask for a third chance? Am I supposed to give you the fourth chance too? Dumbass! Kill yourself!” the man bellowed. “No… No, Master, please give me another chance… Just once…”“Don’t worry. I’ll send your mother to hell too, so you have a companion down there.”***In Kingstell, Country Y.After returning to the jewelry exhibition, Xyla Quest bought several sets of her favorite jewelry pieces. She strolled around the hall for quite some time after settling the bill. When she noticed that the sky was turning dark, she left the hall with her bodyguards and got into their respective cars. Leaning against the soft backrest, Xyla t
The cars behind them all came to a halt too. The sky was painted black. The night was aglow with the dazzling city lights. Dragon Group’s branch office was as grand as the head office. The outside of the building was made of glass. It towered over the other buildings around it, looking exceptionally spectacular in the moonlight. There were security guards on either side of the main entrance. They were standing as rigid as poles, dedicatedly guarding the building. Xyla Quest’s bodyguards got out of the cars before her. After that, they lined up in two rows beside the car and hung their heads respectfully. Xyla fixed her high ponytail before getting out of the car carefully. She crossed the busy road and headed straight to the company’s main entrance. Just as she was about to enter the building, the four security guards at the entrance stood in her way and stopped her from going inside. The four of them were pure Country Y-ians, with blonde hair and blue pupils. They
Though they tried to keep their voices down, Xyla Quest could still clearly hear their malicious comments. Every word pierced her eardrums like a blade. Nevertheless, she remained as calm as ever. She could understand their reactions to her abrupt arrival. They must have encountered many ridiculous girls trying to sneak into their office and hit on their president. ‘I’m the young mistress’ was the common lie they used. They had seen too much, so they were susceptible to girls like her. Xyla inadvertently met the security guards’ eyes while stretching her neck. The four of them formed a barrier against her intrusion, their eyes burning with fury as they glared at her. Xyla raised her brows indifferently before lowering her head and continuing playing with her phone. About two minutes later—Stanley Batton marched out of the elevator with Zack Cassidy. They headed straight to the main entrance once they stepped out of the elevator.Stanley was wearing a white dress sh
When the doors opened, Stanley Batton carried Xyla Quest into the elevator. Soon, the elevator doors closed. As soon as the doors closed, Stanley put her down, pressed her against the wall, and kissed her passionately. By the time he was aware of his hands, they had lifted Xyla again and then forced her against another wall.The two’s inappropriate posture reflected how affectionate they are toward each other. The temperature rose sharply in the tiny elevator.Though Stanley only left home for a few days, he missed Xyla so much that he was about to go crazy. He finally got to see her now. There was no way he could let her go. Xyla’s heart pounded against her chest, blush searing from her cheeks to her neck. “Uhmm… Is there… Is there any surveillance camera in the elevator?” “Yes…”“Oh god, how dare you kiss me here… Uhmm… Let go of me…”“This is my place. I can do whatever I want. Nobody is going to stop me from kissing you…”The next thing Xyla knew, she was not g
Stanley Batton had dropped a bombshell when he did that. Nonetheless, no one in the room dared to make a sound. They could only look at each other to soothe the awkwardness between them. From time to time, they would sneak a look at Xyla Quest out of curiosity.Xyla knew that everyone was staring at her, and she felt extremely embarrassed about it. Taking a deep breath, Xyla gave the crowd a curt nod and greeted them politely, “Hello everyone. I’m Xyla Quest, Stanley Batton’s wife. Sorry for disturbing you all. Please go on with the meeting. Don’t mind me.”Her decent speech, gentle tone, and stunning face made everyone’s heart flutter. All the executives fell in love with her instantaneously. They gave her a big smile to welcome her. “Zack, buy us some dinner. We’ll have dinner while discussing the project. Oh yeah, get everyone a cup of milk tea too,” Stanley turned to Zack Cassidy and ordered. Zack nodded obediently. “What do you want to eat?” Stanley asked. “You dec
Stanley Batton affectionately ruffled Xyla Quest’s hair and looked down at her. “Is it good?”Xyla nodded.Zack Cassidy had bought the black pepper flavored steak she liked. The texture was excellent. Not only was the meat tender, but it was also juicy. Xyla liked it a lot.“Have some more, okay?” Stanley said.With that, he gracefully picked up his knife and fork, and he started to enjoy the delicious food.When others saw that Stanley was eating, they eagerly picked up their knives and forks, and they started to eat too.They ate and discussed work over the meeting at the same time. Everyone still seemed serious.After finishing her steak, Xyla carefully opened a bottle of strawberry milk tea. She drank it while she played with her phone.Once she finished drinking the milk tea, she felt exhausted.Hence, she leaned against her chair and was prepared to rest with her eyes closed for a while.However, she somehow ended up falling asleep without realizing it.Not long after
