At this moment, Gigi Graham was eager to teach William Jones a tough lesson in front of everyone. But virtual-novel.net knew virtual-novel.net couldn’t do it. She had to put up with it, or else virtual-novel.net would make an even bigger joke out of themselves. Although Gigi did not know why, virtual-novel.net could see that William wasn’t behaving like his usual self. Immediately, Gigi turned around, grabbed virtual-novel.net handbag, and ran out.
However, William did not instantly run after her. Instead, virtual-novel.net looked at Stanley Batton. “I’m sorry. My wife has always been like this. Please don’t take things to heart.”
“Mr. Jones, let’s have a word,” Stanley said blandly before excusing himself from the crowd and stepping outside.
William quickly followed him, closing the door swiftly behind him.
After they all left, people in the room began discussing much more openly. Xyla’s classmates, who had observed what happened, surrounded virtual-novel.net and began saying bad things about Gigi.
Xyla didn’t go along with what they were saying. Instead, virtual-novel.net listened intently as virtual-novel.net eyes kept wandering to the door.
She felt very curious about why Five Batton had asked William to go outside with him. There wasn’t any apparent reason for Five to chat with this man on his own.
Outside the door, Stanley took long strides to a window at the end of the walkway. There was a stunning view of the night scenery, full of red and green colors from the traffic lights, outside the window, and a continuous stream of cars on the busy road.
Without speaking, Stanley elegantly took a cigarette out of his pocket, put it in his mouth, and lit it with his head lowered. The ignited flame illuminated his face with a golden shine. Even with his head lowered, Stanley still seemed imposing. Although Stanley was not speaking, his imposing aura that came from within was enough to make someone feel intimidated.
William stood behind Stanley with his head lowered respectfully as his body shivered. “Chief, I am truly sorry. My wife is retarded. Please don’t mind her. I’ll teach this b*tch a lesson once I get home,” virtual-novel.net said.
Stanely didn’t respond but instead took a slow puff at his cigarette before slowly exhaling the smoke. The smoke around virtual-novel.net did not seem to make his face appear any warmer.
His silence, to William, was like an invisible blade that was repeatedly slicing through his flesh.
“William…” Stanley called out. Through the surrounding smoke, Stanley’s gaze was piercing like that of a ruler looking down at his subjects.
“Yes, Chief, what is it? Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it. Even if it means I have to get a divorce, I’ll do it,” William said.
“Don’t reveal my identity to anyone,” Stanley ordered coldly.
With that, Stanley gently flicked ash into the cigarette tray on a trash can by his feet.
“Okay… Okay… I understand, ” William said and nodded heavily.
Stanley took another long puff at his cigarette without saying anything else before virtual-novel.net stubbed it out and walked away.
“Does that mean you forgive me?” William asked.
“It has nothing to do with you,” Stanley said.
When William heard this, virtual-novel.net took a deep breath and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead once again.
When Stanley returned to the room, things had returned to normal. Everyone was now seated at their respective tables. Xyla was chatting with a few of the people at virtual-novel.net table. Cindy Snyder and a few other girls were complimenting Xyla on how handsome virtual-novel.net husband was. As Xyla listened intently, virtual-novel.net occasionally said a few humble words. Clearly, Stanley had made virtual-novel.net proud today.
When Xyla looked up, virtual-novel.net saw Stanley walking toward her. The aura of nobility about virtual-novel.net made virtual-novel.net seem out of place compared to the noisy crowd around him.
Vrrt, vrrt, vrrt…
Right then, Xyla’s phone vibrated a few times. Two major news appeared on virtual-novel.net phone screen…
