Chapter 947
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

Xyla Quest looked at Stanley Batton briefly before subconsciously glancing around. She then rubbed her eyes gently. “Is the meeting over?” she asked.“Yeah…” Stanley answered softly.“When did I fall asleep?” Xyla asked.“You fell asleep not long after dinner…” Stanley said.“Oh.” With that, Xyla naturally wrapped her arms around Stanley’s neck. After that, she looked at the bodyguards behind them embarrassedly. “Put me down. I can walk on my own,” she said.“Let me hold you for a while.” Stanley had no intention of putting her down. His gaze never left her, and the look in his eyes was full of gentleness.Xyla didn’t say anything further. She let him carry her while she enjoyed the warmth of his embrace.“Is there anything else you’d like to eat, hmm?” Stanley asked.“Do you want me to become a pig? I just had dinner, and you’re asking me to eat again,” Xyla complained softly.Stanley smiled. “I was just afraid you might be hungry.”“I’m not a pig. Why would I get hungry so
Chapter 953
Under the warm, gentle light, Xyla Quest’s face seemed like a peeled lychee fruit that was soft and delicate.Her eyes were shining brightly like a thousand stars.When Stanley Batton looked at her face, he felt as if a once empty space in his heart had been instantly filled.This woman was way too beautiful.No matter how often he looked at her, he would still be impressed.“Tell me, why are you so pretty? Hmm?” Stanley’s eyes were filled with affection.Xyla’s smile widened. “Hmm… It’s most probably because my parents both looked good…”“Hmm… Xyla Quest, I think I’ve fallen head over heels in love with you. What do I do?” Stanley said.Before meeting Xyla, Stanley never thought he’d one day fall for a woman like this.Even more so, he never thought he’d be this interested in any woman. In fact, he would feel disturbed for not seeing her for a single day. He wished he could tie this woman to his waist and bring her with him wherever he went.His straightforward words made Xy

When Xyla Quest heard that, she was instantly dumbfounded.Her mind went blank.She couldn’t believe what she had just heard.Two days ago, Emily Quest was still boasting about how she would deal with Xyla in the future. How did she die just like that?And how did May Conner die so suddenly too?“How did they die?” Xyla asked.Stanley Batton could vaguely overhear the conversation between Xyla and her father.His facial expression instantly became serious.He didn’t say anything, but he quickly sat up and moved closer to Xyla so that he could hear what Jeremy was saying.“Emily killed herself. Your aunt suddenly had a cerebral hemorrhage… They both died yesterday,” Jeremy said.This sudden news left Xyla in a state of disbelief.She really didn’t think the two of them would end up like this.The other day, when Xyla saw Emily, Emily didn’t look like she would kill herself at all.Emily even said through gritted teeth that she would get her revenge against Xyla once she got
