Please hire a few more bodyguards for Josh after we make our relationship public,” Stanley added. “Okay, I will.”With that, Xyla hung up the phone. After Xyla hung up the phone, Stanley locked his phone screen and turned to Josh. “These paparazzi are unbelievable.”In fact, he was not ruffling Josh’s hair just now.

He speculated that Emily committed suicide under hypnosis. “Besides, he said that Emily had consumed the Soul Devouring Potion before.
