“What?” Stanley Batton asked as he slowly shifted his gaze to Xyla Quest’s face.“Are you really planning on not accepting the money in WeChat?” Xyla was determined to return the money to Five Batton.“I don’t want it,” Stanley answered without hesitation.As soon as he finished speaking, Xyla reached out to his phone so that she could accept the money on his behalf.However, before she could even touch the phone, Stanley reflexively raised his phone high into the air.“Can you not behave like this?” Xyla asked in softly as she frowned helplessly.“No,” Stanley said before letting go of the phone.Immediately, the phone began falling. Stanley was able to catch it with his other hand. He then unlocked the phone with a single hand before he continued to read the news.It happened so quickly, almost as if Stanley did not even need to think about it.Xyla was amazed by how Stanley was able to move so agilely. It was the first time she had seen something like this.This man in fron

“…” Xyla Quest was at a loss for words suddenly.“I’ll pay attention next time. What are we having for dinner?” Stanley Batton changed the subject smoothly.“What do you want to eat? I’ll make it,” Xyla said. She seemed completely unaware of the wound on her hand.Stanley had never met a girl like her from a wealthy family who was nowhere close to being effeminate.“What do you want to eat?” Stanley asked.“I’m fine with anything. Just tell me what you want. I’ll make it,” Xyla repeated.“Stay here,” Stanley said before turning around and walking toward the kitchen with a smile.“What about your elbow?” Xyla asked.“It’s fine,” he said.“I’ll help you out,” Xyla said before getting up and running after him.However, as soon as she arrived by the door, the kitchen door was shut in her face.After that, Stanley locked the door from the other side.“Be careful with your elbow,” Xyla said softly once she heard the clicking sound of the lock.However, Stanley did not reply to her.By now, X

“You don’t have to apologize to me. I will never forgive you,” Jeremy Quest said mercilessly as he glared coldly at Emily Quest, who was kneeling in front of him.How long had it been since she came out of prison? Wasn’t it too late for her to think of apologizing to him now?Did she even remotely seem apologetic?“Dad, I’m already kneeling in front of you. Please forgive me,” Emily tried to force tears out of her eyes.After that, she made herself appear pitiful.“I was young and dumb. That’s why I did those things to my elder sister. I promise I will never do it again. Dad, please. I’m begging you. Forgive Mom and me. Mom really was innocent. I wanted to come home and apologize to you a long time ago. However, you know that a lot has happened to the Sullivan family. I really couldn’t find the time. Now, I’m already in a horrible state. If you don’t forgive me, I’ll feel even worse. Are you really willing to put me through that?” Emily stammered.Who could possibly be in a worse state

“Emily, I’ve got an idea,” May Conner said as a sly look appeared in her eyes. She looked around at the living room to check if anyone was near.“What is it?” Emily Quest moved her head a little closer to May.***Still full of anger, Jeremy Quest walked all the way to Xyla Quest’s house and stopped in front of the door.Since it felt suffocating to stay in his own house, Jeremy did not want to go back for now. Therefore, he thought of spending the night in his elder daughter’s home.Now, Xyla’s home was the only safe and warm place for him.Jeremy pressed the doorbell.“Ding-dong… Ding-dong…”Xyla and Stanley Batton were still eating in the dining room. When they heard the doorbell, Stanley was the first to stand up.“I’ll get the door,” he said.“Let me do it. You can continue eating,” Xyla stood up directly before walking over to the entrance area. She looked at the monitor to see who it was.When Xyla saw her father’s face, she was a little taken aback. She had not expec

“Of course not, Dad. You can stay with us for as long as you like,” Xyla replied with a smile. The two began walking inside as they spoke.When the warm air hit her, Xyla felt warmer.“Okay. I’ll stay here for the night,” Jeremy Quest said.When Stanley Batton heard their voices, he smiled thoughtfully.After putting down his chopsticks, Stanley immediately walked over to the entrance and stood politely in front of Jeremy.“Dad, you’re here,” he said.Stanley then retrieved a pair of slippers from the shoe rack before placing it in front of Jeremy’s feet.When Jeremy saw this, he felt a warm sensation spread in his heart. The thoughts that clouded his mind a moment ago instantly faded away.Although his son-in-law did not come from a wealthy family like Tom Sullivan’s, he was much better than Tom in many other aspects.Tom was nowhere near as thoughtful as Stanley was in how he treated Jeremy.When had Tom ever shown such gestures to Jeremy?When Xyla saw how Stanley behaved, she felt

With Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton working together, they were able to get the bed set up very quickly.Right then, Jeremy Quest entered the room.“You two are rather efficient. Not bad,” he said.“You are very efficient, too,” Xyla said and chuckled.“Alright. I won’t get in the way of what you two are doing together. Hurry up and go back to your room. I’m going to practice Tai Chi for a while on my own,” Jeremy said after he laughed.“Okay… We are going back to our room then. Goodnight, Dad,” Xyla said.When Stanley heard this, he naturally reached for Xyla’s hand and left the room with her.“Goodnight,” Jeremy said as he walked them out and watched as they left.Xyla led Stanley into her room.Her room was grandly decorated. The wallpapers were of different shades of pink. It was a luxurious design meant for teenage girls.As soon as they entered the room, Xyla felt embarrassed.Her bras were scattered all over her bed. She must have left them there when she cleaned her room up befo

Xyla Quest kept her body still and tried not to move. Any slight movement might result in her body touching Stanley Batton.The light scent of cigarettes mixed with mint smelled unbelievably good.“Take it,” Xyla said before quickly shoving the phone into Stanley’s hand. She did not dare to look him in the eye at all.The crystal lights that glowed brightly above Xyla’s head made her demure expression seem even more striking.Without realizing it, Xyla had accidentally moved in such a way that a strand of hair on her forehead lightly scraped against Stanley’s distinctive lips. It felt as if the tingling sensation was traveling to his heart.Slowly, Xyla pressed her body tightly against the wall as she slid downward and eventually escaped from an open gap below his arm.With a single hand, Stanley unlocked his phone. When he saw that the money had been accepted, he raised his brows slightly to look at Xyla’s slightly pinkish face.“You really won’t stop until you get what you want,” he

The people responsible for the assessment were upper management staff with Georgie Clementine taking the lead.In the video, Georgie sat in the first seat while several other upper management staff sat around her in a long desk. One by one, the trainees walked up to them and began performing without any equipment.Every trainee was physically attractive in the video. Apart from that, they were also competent in what they specialized in. Some of them gave outstanding performances.Halfway through the video, a handsome young man caught her attention.He was wearing a loose black sweater, black pants, a cap over his head, and ear-microphones as he slowly walked up to the upper management staff.Xyla remembered this guy.
