At that moment, Xyla Quest felt that Stanley Batton was like virtual-novel.net hero. Every word virtual-novel.net said would make virtual-novel.net feel better. In fact, virtual-novel.net even felt as if virtual-novel.net were an umbrella that protected virtual-novel.net from the wind and rain. Xyla had met many people over the years during virtual-novel.net travels. However, none of the men virtual-novel.net had met made virtual-novel.net feel safe in such a way.
When May Conner and Emily Quest heard the word ‘prison’, they immediately felt goosebumps all over their bodies. Since they had just come out from that hellish place, they knew all too well how much suffering they would have to go through there.
Even if they did not have to suffer as much, it would not be a good idea to go back to prison.
If things got worse, Jeremy Quest would only hate them even more.
Right then, Emily and May were in a difficult position. It seemed as though whatever they did would turn out badly for them.
Meanwhile, they were beginning to feel the burning gaze from everyone around them. The anger they felt immediately subsided and was replaced with fear instead.
May took a deep breath as virtual-novel.net tried to remain calm.
“Must you do this?” She asked Stanley.
“…”
Stanley did not say a word. All virtual-novel.net did was stare at the women coldly, showing them that virtual-novel.net would not change his mind. Although virtual-novel.net was not speaking, the aura around virtual-novel.net was enough to make the people around virtual-novel.net shiver in fear.
“Sorry,” May said with a deep frown on virtual-novel.net face as virtual-novel.net lowered virtual-novel.net head.
Many of the members of the audience could not resist rolling their eyes at May. Once again, the crowd began murmuring among themselves.
Even if May did not turn virtual-novel.net head around, virtual-novel.net knew how nasty their gazes were. She felt deeply embarrassed by herself. If May had known that this would happen, virtual-novel.net would not have done what virtual-novel.net did earlier.
Xyla was truly a cruel b*tch.
Stanley raised his brows and looked deeply into May’s eyes. However, virtual-novel.net did not say anything. Instead, virtual-novel.net put his arm over Xyla’s shoulders.
“You were too soft. My wife didn’t hear you,” Stanley said calmly.
At that moment, Xyla felt that Stanley was the coolest man on earth. All the negative emotions virtual-novel.net had been bottling up suddenly faded away. Due to his presence, Xyla no longer had to do anything. All virtual-novel.net needed to do was remain silent and observe as virtual-novel.net acted as virtual-novel.net enemy’s prosecutor.
“Stanley Batton, don’t go too far. I am your elder after all,” May said through gritted teeth.
Stanley smiled a little as virtual-novel.net fixed his gaze upon May’s face. He made it clear virtual-novel.net was not going to change his mind.
May was upset that virtual-novel.net was thoroughly embarrassed in public. After glaring at Stanley Batton, virtual-novel.net took a deep breath and turned to face Xyla.
“Sorry!” She said loudly.
Meanwhile, the people around May were still pointing at virtual-novel.net as they whispered to each other. There was no way for virtual-novel.net to hide from the looks they were giving her. May had never been this embarrassed in virtual-novel.net life. She hated Xyla’s husband greatly!
After Stanley adjusted his suit, virtual-novel.net turned to look at Xyla. “Let’s go,” virtual-novel.net said.
Xyla nodded slightly.
After that, Stanley pressed the button for the lift. After it arrived, they got in and left with everyone watching, leaving the mess behind them. As soon as the lift’s doors closed, everything in the world returned to its peaceful state.
Xyla looked at Stanley with a smile on virtual-novel.net face.
“Thank you, Five Batton. Thank you for pretending to be my husband. You did such a good job too. Also, thank you for blowing off steam on my behalf,” virtual-novel.net said.
Xyla was very grateful for what Stanley did.
“Does it hurt?” He asked with a frown as virtual-novel.net touched virtual-novel.net swollen cheek with his fingertip.
“It’s fine,” virtual-novel.net said.
“Georgie, get ready to act,” Xyla sent a WeChat message to Georgie Clementine after a moment.
The lift was moving downward at a fast pace. Meanwhile, neither of them said a word as they observed the changing numbers on the lift screen. After they arrived on the first floor, Stanley looked over at a genuine black leather couch.
“Sit over there and wait for me,” virtual-novel.net said, jutting his chin in the couch’s direction.
“Why?” Xyla asked.
