“I heard from Mom that you stole the show at the night market and the original jade rock auction, didn’t you?” Stanley Batton asked gently. Even the tip of his hair was soft and gentle to the touch.“Yeah.” When Xyla Quest spoke about this, her mood became even better. “I made a lot of money today.”“Yeah, I heard all about it,” Stanley said.“Did Mom tell you everything?” Xyla asked.“Yeah. She kept boasting about you in WeChat.” When Stanley mentioned this topic, a vague smile appeared upon his face.“I see.” Xyla’s smile widened gradually.When she and Sharon Lindt were shopping at the night market, Sharon kept reaching for her phone to chat with someone.It turned out Sharon was chatting with Stanley…“She kept reminding me to protect such a good wife like you,” Stanley said.“What else?” Xyla asked.“She even said that if I end up losing you, she will cut off ties with me,” Stanley said.When Xyla heard that, she couldn’t help but chuckle softly…“Do you think I would

Ron Batton nodded. After that, he impatiently unscrewed the porcelain bottle and excitedly surveyed its contents.Inside, there were small, black pills the size of small grains.“I didn’t expect that Yaksha would be able to solve the problem that has been bothering me for years!” Ron was very excited. He had a joyful look in his eyes.Perhaps, his favorite grandson could finally be cured!“Leave it to me… I’ll help you guys…” Ron added.“It’s okay. I’ll do it myself… If I encounter anything I don’t understand, I’ll ask you for help,” Xyla said.“You’re very busy with work. Allow me. Besides, I’m free most of the time. It gets awfully boring,” Ron said.Seeing how Ron was eager to take over, Xyla didn’t say anything else. She nodded gently. “Alright, I’ll be leaving for work, Grandpa.”Ron smiled. “Okay. Be careful on the road…”After getting into her red Maserati, Xyla headed to Quest Group under her bodyguards’ protection.***Once Xyla was done with Quest Group’s work, she

“It’s impossible to explain in a few words. It’s better if you check it out on Weibo,” Georgie Clementine said. She sounded a little angry.“Okay.” Xyla Quest hung up the phone calmly. Curious, she opened Weibo’s list of hot topics.Hot topic number one, ‘#Xyla Quest and Jay Corben#’.Hot topic number two, ‘#Xyla Quest#’.Hot topic number three, ‘#Jay Corbe#’.After tapping on the first hot topic, Xyla saw a lot of posts from marketing accounts. There were photos of her and Jay in the car…The photos looked like they were taken from far away. All of them were very blurry, and the quality seemed extremely poor.However, their silhouettes could still be vaguely seen.Some of the photos were taken from very bizarre angles…Clearly, Xyla was unbuckling Jay’s seat belt. However, it looked like Xyla was doing something improper with her head on Jay’s thigh from the photos.There were similar texts attached to each post by marketing accounts.“Today, one of Jay’s obsessive fans pho

When Stanley Batton didn’t speak, he looked as cool and noble as ever.Right then, Xyla Quest also saw that Josh Batton had forwarded her Weibo post. “Stop creating rumors. My brother and my sister-in-law have a great relationship. Do you know what an error in angle perception means?”In the next second, Xyla saw Jay Corben forwarding her post too. “Some people should stop making malicious speculations. Be a normal person, please.”Right after that, Xyla saw that the comment section under her post was bombarded with messages.All sorts of things were mentioned.“How did you just happen to run into Jay two times in a row?”“Never mind the first time you bumped into him at the mall. Where did you bump into him this time?”“Your chances of running into celebrities are a little high, aren’t they? I think Stanley and Josh were just saying those things to keep a decent image for their family’s sake.”“I agree with the comment above. I also feel that Stanley and Josh were just explain

Suddenly, Xyla Quest felt her heart rising up to her throat…She felt as if countless electric currents were coursing through her veins, and her entire body was so numb that she could not stand straight.Subconsciously, Xyla pushed both hands against Stanley Batton’s muscular chest in resistance. Her gaze softened as she looked at his exquisitely stunning eyes. “What are you doing? Don’t you need to get back to the office?”“Yeah…” Stanley said.“So, why aren’t you leaving yet?” Xyla asked.“Let me give you a kiss before I go…” Stanley said.As soon as he finished his sentence, he passionately kissed Xyla on her lips.After a very long time, Stanley reluctantly let go of Xyla. He held her face and started whispering, “If it weren’t because of work, I really wouldn’t want to let you go…”His tone was affectionate, soothing, and provocative at the same time. Instantly, Xyla felt ripples stirring up in her chest.Xyla immediately blushed. “Hurry up. Get to the office,” she said.
