Suddenly, the phone vibrated. The vibration awakened Tom Sullivan. Seeing that the detention center was calling him, Tom reluctantly picked up the call. “Hubby…” Emily Quest’s irritating voice pierced his ears. Tom’s face darkened instantaneously. He was in a fractious mood. His sleep-deprived brain was going in circles as he was too high last night. A severe headache almost tore his head apart. On top of that, Emily’s ‘surprise’ call had worsened his headache. “What do you want?”“Hubby, I have something important to tell you. Come to the detention center tomorrow. We’ll talk in person.“You know what’s the consequences if you don’t come. By the way, don’t ever think of killing me. I’ve already passed the evidence of you taking drugs to someone I trust. Your misdeeds will be exposed to the public even if I die,” Emily added. Tom was going to refuse her request. However, Emily’s warning had rendered him speechless.In fact, he had thought of quitting drugs because he

“Stan won’t mind about it, right?” Sebastian Brenand grinned. “I call the shots at home. No worries,” Xyla Quest replied playfully. Sebastian gave her a thumbs-up. “Cool. I respect you.”“Have you gotten over her yet? I notice that you’re getting much better now.” Xyla asked concernedly.“Oh yeah, I’ll have someone to send the contracts regarding your investment and your role as Elvenia to your office later.” Sebastian changed the subject. “Alright, sure.” Xyla nodded lightly. “I’d better get going. I’ve disturbed you for too long.” Sebastian immediately got up from the couch. “Let’s go. I’ll walk you to the parking lot.” Xyla stole a glance at his desk full of files and papers. “It’s okay. I guess you have more important things waiting for you to do.”Following that statement, she stalked out of the office and took the elevator to the first floor. Her phone vibrated as soon as she got into the car. Seeing Ron Batton’s name on the screen, Xyla immediately answered the

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.

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

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
