“Who would’ve thought of finding a hidden weapon in your sister’s room?” Ron Batton tried to comfort Xyla Quest. Guilt filled Xyla’s heart no matter what Ron said. After all, the female servant was not only her servant but her family too. Xyla lightly nodded before lifting her head to meet Ron and Stanley Batton’s eyes. “I heard that she’s from a low-income family. Her family has been renting a small apartment as they cannot afford to buy a house. I’m going to find a house for them in Atlantis and give them five million dollars…”By doing so, her family did not have to suffer from financial problems anymore. Though Xyla understood that money could never make up for the pain of losing a family member, she would do everything to help her family to get through this misery.“Okay. We have many houses in Atlantis. You can pick one for her family,” Ron offered. He agreed with Xyla. It was a thoughtful idea. His fondness for her was doubled at that instant. “It’s okay. I have

She was not afraid of anything when he was around. “The upright need not fear the crooked. Trust me. We’ll get through this.” Xyla Quest looked as determined as ever. “Yeah.” Stanley hugged her tightly again. Ron was pleased to look at the intimacy between the lovely couple. However, it did not ease his worries. He feared that something terrible was going to happen to Xyla. He was on tenterhooks because he cared about her. Xyla got along well with everyone in the Batton family. She was the apple of their eyes. They could not bear losing her. “Alright. I’ll go find Dad first.” Xyla pushed Stanley away and admonished him, “Take care of Grandpa.”“I will.” Stanley smiled and gently stroked her hair. ***Xyla headed straight to parlor No.1 once she reached the funeral home.She was surprised to find that all her family and frien

The truth would be revealed one day. Those who were on the dark side would have to pay for their misdeeds. What went around came around. It was only a matter of time. Jeremy Quest nodded in agreement. “You definitely will.”Jeremy could not take it anymore. It all happened so suddenly. He was heartbroken enough to find out that her daughter committed suicide, whereas his wife died of a cerebral hemorrhage.Never in his life had he imagined that they were murdered. Who the hell was this ‘master’? Jeremy’s utter bewilderment was reflected in his eyes. He was appalled when he recalled everything that had happened on Xyla Quest before. He was so close to losing his favorite and most outstanding daughter. “Xyla, I’m so grateful that you’re alive and well. I thank god for taking care of you. I really am scared when I think about it.” Jeremy patted Xyla’s hands, mixed feelings churning inside of him. Xyla was touched hearing that. She slid her fingers between Jeremy’s

The fake bodies they found replaced Emily Quest and May Conner’s corpses to be cremated at eight o’clock the following day. At noon, countless guests had arrived at the funeral home to watch the burial ceremony. Tears and silent anguish accompanied the substitutes’ ashes into the grave. After the burial, the crowd placed bouquets around the graves and started a prayer with Jeremy Quest taking the lead. The funeral ceremony officially ended a few minutes later. Jeremy, Xyla Quest, and Stanley Batton took the guests to a fancy hotel downtown for lunch. They finished the meal at around third o’clock in the afternoon. After sending off the guests, Xyla and Stanley drove Jeremy back to the Quest family’s house. Jeremy drowned in raw agony and sorrow even after he went home. His face was as pale as chalk. Xyla and Stanley carefully helped him to the couch in the living room. Jeremy could not stop sighing as he sank onto the couch. He grabbed the cigarette box on the coffee

“By the way, the investigation will be carried out in secret. I’ve warned Carson Ritzer, Zack Cassidy, and all my bodyguards to keep their mouths shut. You guys don’t have to worry about it.“We won’t tell anyone about the mastermind behind their deaths. I’ve taken care of everything,” Stanley Batton reassured Xyla Quest and Jeremy Quest. Xyla and Jeremy felt much more relieved after hearing that. Jeremy patted Stanley’s shoulder and complimented him, “I know I can always rely on you. Stan, you’re my best son-in-law.” Once again, Stanley had proved his strong sense of responsibility and accountability to Jeremy. Jeremy was grateful to have a son-in-law like him. “It’s the least I can do, Dad,” Stanley replied humbly. Upon hearing their conversation, Xyla’s soft lips subconsciously stretched into a beautiful smile. She did not have to worry about anything when she was with him. All she had to do was to sit there and enjoy her life. He would settle everything for her, pe

“Don’t you need to go back to your company? You’ve been with me for two days.”“My company is not as important as you,” Stanley Batton answered truthfully. “You can always go back to your office if you’re busy. I’m fine being alone here,” said Xyla.“It’s okay. I’ve settled everything there.”Xyla stopped arguing and surrendered to his secure embrace. She lay on her chest like a tame, adorable kitten. “Dad didn’t really eat just now. Make some dinner for him later. He loves your sweet and sour pork ribs,” Xyla whispered, her voice soft and weak. “No problem.”“Thanks, hubby.”“That’s what I’m supposed to do.”Buzz buzz buzz… Stanley’s phone vibrated just as he finished his sentence. Seeing Zack Cassidy’s name on the screen, Stanley hung up on him without hesitation. Very soon, Zack sent him a text message. “Fifth Master, we have a client waiting for you at the company. Should I pick you up now?” “I’ll talk to him another day.” Stanley quickly typed and sent. “What

The Quest family and the maid’s family held a small funeral for the maid the following day. After the funeral, Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton returned to their home together. This was the first time they went back home since Emily Quest passed away. Sunlight streamed golden through the window and lit the living room.All the Baroque-style ornaments in the living room were shimmering brightly in the golden sun rays. Xyla plopped down on the couch as soon as she reached home. She leaned against the backrest and pinched her nose bridge to keep herself awake. After putting on the slippers, Stanley strode across the living room and sat down next to her. Suddenly and without warning, he turned her body sideways and gave her stiff shoulder a massage. He was as good as a professional masseur. He applied the right amount of pressure at the exact acupoints of her body. Xyla felt like all her soreness disappeared at that instant. Tenderness was written all over the man. The sun

The sunlight added luster to their tanned skins. Their utter dismay was reflected in their eyes. Xyla Quest’s heart began to throb frantically at the sight of them. Xyla floored the gas pedal and accelerated the car. She pulled up in front of their house and opened the car door for them politely. After they got into the car, Xyla drove them to a bank downtown. Xyla parked her car at a nearby parking lot before getting out of the car and heading to the bank with the two elders. Bang!Suddenly, they heard a loud bang behind them. Xyla immediately turned to look in the direction of the noise. She was shocked to find the rear of a black Audi crashed into her Bentley Arnage. The spot where the two cars clashed belched dense smoke. Obviously, the driver of the black Audi was terrible at parking. He or she must have accidentally hit Xyla’s car when reversing. “We’ll go inside to queue first,” the maid’s mother said. “Alright. I’ll be right over.” Xyla smiled. Subseq

Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymond’s head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. “Who are you? Don’t you know what you’re doing is illegal?”Leon sneered. “You don’t deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.”Leon’s domineering words made him seem even more imposing.At this moment, Hannah felt as if he was a guardian angel sent from Heaven to protect her.Something about him seemed oddly sacred and heavenly.“Mr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?” One of the men dressed in black asked.“Mr. Batton? Are you Stanley Batton’s son?!” Fear was beginning to spread through Raymond. For one to have Batton as his surname and act this arrogantly in Atlantis, he could be none other than a member of the renowned Batton family.“How dare you address our president by name?!” Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif

When she saw Hannah, she immediately stood up and smiled at her. “Hannah, you’re here…”“Here’s the contract…” Rihanna said before pushing a thick stack of paper to the center of the table.Hannah quickly stepped forward and skimmed through the document. She then picked up a pen and signed it…Rihanna smiled upon seeing this. “Okay… I’ll transfer the money into your account tonight… I’ve told our big boss about your situation.
