Stanley did not say anything. After chuckling softly, virtual-novel.net walked away. Once the door closed behind him, Xyla’s world became calm again. However, virtual-novel.net heart was still pounding. The image earlier kept appearing in virtual-novel.net mind.
Her face was getting redder by the second. Now, Xyla felt as if virtual-novel.net would rather just die.

Meanwhile, at the Batton family’s villa, Josh saw Sharon on the couch when virtual-novel.net returned home. He immediately walked over and sat down next to her.
“Mom, why are you here?”
“Did you see your brother?”
“Yeah…”
“Did virtual-novel.net tell you everything virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net was a young boy, virtual-novel.net found it difficult to fall in love with anyone. When virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net to breathe. He kept Sharon at home for a long while as virtual-novel.net thoroughly asked virtual-novel.net about what was going on between Stanley and Xyla.
Sharon told Josh everything virtual-novel.net knew. After listening to what virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net was overjoyed. She instantly became wide awake. After chatting with Jeremy for a while, virtual-novel.net slowly sat up in bed. The Dragon Group’s name kept appearing in virtual-novel.net mind. She truly could not figure out why the Dragon Group was doing this good deed for them.
After virtual-novel.net took a shower, Georgie gave virtual-novel.net a call to inform virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net arms comfortably before sitting down in front of virtual-novel.net dressing table. After cheerfully putting virtual-novel.net make-up on, virtual-novel.net was ready to head to work. While Xyla enjoyed virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net lungs out, virtual-novel.net pressed virtual-novel.net hand against virtual-novel.net chest and said how it was hurting.
That was Jeremy’s weakness. When virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net placing virtual-novel.net hand over virtual-novel.net chest, virtual-novel.net felt pained. He quickly held virtual-novel.net in his arms and told virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net would find a way to get Emily out of prison.

After having breakfast with Stanley, Xyla got into virtual-novel.net car and left for work. Not too far away from virtual-novel.net house, a black Porsche Cayenne quickly caught up with virtual-novel.net and forced virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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, virtual-novel.net 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 virtual-novel.net 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?” virtual-novel.net asked coldly.
“I want to f*ck. Are you up for it?” virtual-novel.net asked, sounding shameless. There was a coldness in his eyes that Xyla had never seen before.
