Stanley did not say anything. After chuckling softly, he walked away. Once the door closed behind him,

Xyla’s world became calm again. However, her heart was still pounding. The image earlier kept

appearing in her mind.

Her face was getting redder by the second. Now, Xyla felt as if she would rather just die.

Meanwhile, at the Batton family’s villa, Josh saw Sharon on the couch when he returned home. He

immediately walked over and sat down next to her.

“Mom, why are you here?”

“Did you see your brother?”

“Yeah…”

“Did he tell you everything he ought to?”

Josh let out a long sigh and rubbed his forehead in exhaustion. “He did. Don’ t worry. I won’t set my

eyes on my sister-in-law in the future.”

Ever since he was a young boy, he found it difficult to fall in love with anyone. When he eventually did,

the person turned out to be his sister-in-law. What kind of drama was this?

Josh felt as if something was stuck in his chest and made it difficult for him to breathe. He kept Sharon

at home for a long while as he thoroughly asked her about what was going on between Stanley and

Xyla.

Sharon told Josh everything she knew. After listening to what she said, Josh finally understood what

was happening.

“My brother really does know how to play this game,” said Josh with a sigh.

The next morning, Xyla woke up to good news. She received a call from Jeremy telling her that the

Quest family had acquired eight billion dollars from the Dragon Group. The Dragon Group had sent the

Quest family an IOU slip without asking for anything else.

When Xyla found out, she was overjoyed. She instantly became wide awake. After chatting with

Jeremy for a while, she slowly sat up in bed. The Dragon Group’s name kept appearing in her mind.

She truly could not figure out why the Dragon Group was doing this good deed for them.

After she took a shower, Georgie gave her a call to inform her that Emily had been sentenced to three

years in prison. That meant Xyla would be able to live in peace for three years.

She immediately stretched her arms comfortably before sitting down in front of her dressing table. After

cheerfully putting her make-up on, she was ready to head to work. While Xyla enjoyed her moment of

peace, things were heated in the house next to hers.

After receiving news about Emily’s verdict, May cried continuously despite Jeremy’s efforts to console

her. While May cried her lungs out, she pressed her hand against her chest and said how it was

hurting.

That was Jeremy’s weakness. When he saw her placing her hand over her chest, he felt pained. He

quickly held her in his arms and told her that he would find a way to get Emily out of prison.

After having breakfast with Stanley, Xyla got into her car and left for work. Not too far away from her

house, a black Porsche Cayenne quickly caught up with her and forced her to come to a halt. She

recognized the car, it belonged to Tom Sullivan.

His name once meant the world to her. It was enough to fill her teenage heart. A long time ago, Tom’s

name used to equate wonder, happiness, and joy. But now, it was everything on the opposite spectrum.

Now, whenever Xyla thought of his name, she felt nauseated.

Very soon, Tom got out of his car and walked over. He was wearing a white suit. He had a gentle and

noble appearance, almost like that of a prince. Torn perfectly embodied the meaning of duplicity.

With a frown on her face, Xyla’s mood was instantly spoiled by his presence. She quickly pushed the

car door open and approached him.

“Tom Sullivan, what do you want?” she asked coldly.

“I want to f*ck. Are you up for it?” he asked, sounding shameless. There was a coldness in his eyes

that Xyla had never seen before.
