A red Maserati and a row of black Porsche Cayenne stopped neatly in front of the hotel’s entrance…Xyla didn’t seem like she was about to leave the car.She slowly turned to look at Adam Shaw. “You go ahead… I’ll wait for you here,” she said.Adam nodded.After that, he quickly got out of the car and walked into the hotel with his head lowered the entire time…As soon as he entered the hotel, he saw Cody Lester walking toward the entrance with a group of bodyguards grandly.Cody walked in the forefront. His hair was very short, and he was wearing a loose, oversized, black T-shirt with matching torn, black jeans.He had flowery tattoos on his left arm, and there was a tiny diamond earring on his left ear.At one glance, one could tell Cody was a ruthless man who loved his freedom.As soon as Cody looked up, he saw Adam.Suddenly, his facial expression turned dark…Meanwhile, Adam’s facial expression also turned dark.Adam didn’t say anything. He looked down and continued wal

Meek as a lamb, Adam Shaw could only lie on the ground as they continuously bullied him.He wanted to reach for his phone to call Xyla Quest, but he couldn’t at all.Within a minute, his nose and face were swollen…Every part of his body was aching. He felt as if he would soon die.The receptionist and the surrounding audience all only stood by and watched. However, due to Cody Lester’s status, none of them dared to step forward.They didn’t even dare to take any pictures.“Beat him up hard! Harder!” Cody pointed at Adam as if he were a dead dog and ordered coldly.Watching how arrogant Cody behaved and being punched and kicked by his bodyguards, Adam’s rage was already at its peak in his heart.He felt as if his chest was a pressure pot that was about to explode from too much pressure.Nobody would bully someone like this!This was too much!Adam really wanted to fight back…However, he was helpless…Outside, Xyla Quest’s head was lowered. She was wearing a pair of earpho

When the time came, never mind Cody Lester himself, even his entire family would have to disappear from Atlantis!Seeing how the person he hated the most kneeling in front of him, Adam Shaw found it both ironic and relieving.However, Adam didn’t want to plead for this person.Cody was arrogant and domineering, and he had disregarded the rule of law altogether. Even if anything terrible happened to him, it was his own undoing.The way Cody went mad earlier kept replaying in his mind. Every scene made him grit his teeth in hatred.The huge difference in attitude from before and after also made Adam understand something.In this world that favored the strong over the weak, one could only avoid being bullied if one was strong enough.Adam secretly swore in his heart that he would become strong one day!He would trample over everyone who ever bullied him!Seeing Cody like that, Xyla didn’t feel any emotions in her heart…She glanced blandly at the bodyguards around her and gave t

Most men would have a strong stance about whose surname their children took after.For thousands of years, an unwritten rule had been set in stone between men and women that children born should take after their father’s surname.Since time immemorial, most people indeed practiced this.This was especially the case for high-status and influential families like the Batton family.At the end of the day, men and their side of the family all cared a lot about children taking after the surname of the paternal side.However, Xyla didn’t think that Stanley and his family wouldn’t care about it at all. This really touched her.“What’s the matter?” Stanley asked curiously when he saw that Xyla was stunned.“Why would you think like this?” Xyla asked.“Like what?” Stanley asked.“Don’t men usually care a lot about whose surname their children take after? Most men wouldn’t agree to let their children take after their mother’s surname,” Xyla said.However, Stanley chuckled nonchalantly.

Stanley Batton had only just received the company’s shares from his family, yet, he had already prepared a document like this for her. Xyla Quest truly didn’t expect this…At this moment, she was so touched that she felt like crying. “You… Why did you do this? I don’t want this…”While speaking, Xyla quickly shoved the documents back into Stanley’s hands.She couldn’t possibly not know the meaning behind why Stanley was giving these things to her…He was practically betting his entire life on her.However, Stanley shoved the documents back into her arms. “Now, all the properties, cars, savings, and companies I own belong to you… From now on, you’ll oversee the financial decisions in our household… You are not to reject me,” Stanley said.“To be honest, I’ve wanted to transfer all my properties, cars, and savings to you for the longest time. However, after I have thought about it for a while, I still feel that transferring everything to you along with the company’s shares would be
