Though Xyla knew that Stanley was a liar who could not be trusted at all, virtual-novel.net heart softened right away as virtual-novel.net looked at him. The exhaustion on his face was real, and so were the red veins in his eyes. For a moment, virtual-novel.net hesitated to chase virtual-novel.net out of the room. That would be too mean to him.
“First of all, I apologize for lying to you. Let me introduce myself first. I’m Stanley Batton, and the Dragon Group belongs to my family.”
“I’m the fifth born in my family. Besides, I’m the President, as well as the heir, of the domestic Dragon Group.” He recounted, the seriousness in his tone retained with each word virtual-novel.net spoke.
Upon hearing that, Xyla was completely shocked…
He was the young master of the Dragon Group?
The young master with God-like existence in the eyes of the citizens?
The husband who virtual-novel.net agreed to marry that time was such a remarkably successful person in real life?
As for virtual-novel.net master, virtual-novel.net was related to Dragon Group too?
Ron Batton?
No wonder virtual-novel.net master had never told anyone about his real name! Throughout the years, everyone around virtual-novel.net would address virtual-novel.net as either Dr. Batton or Doctor.
The truth was, virtual-novel.net wanted to keep a low profile because his real identity would attract unnecessary attention or even some unsolicited comments from the public.
She had found out way too many secrets that were beyond virtual-novel.net reach ever since last night. Though Stanley had just told virtual-novel.net the truth that virtual-novel.net craved for, virtual-novel.net felt curiously unreal, as if virtual-novel.net were in the midst of a dream.
Speechless out of shock, Xyla remained silent on the bed and waited for virtual-novel.net to continue his story.
“Well the first time, which was that night, I really didn’t know who you were but I… I was interested in you. Therefore, I had my underling look you up.”
“After looking up on your background, I realized you were the wife that I had never met. Because of that, when you asked me to pretend to be your husband later on, I agreed to do it.”
“That was because I wanted a reason to get close to you, a reason for me to get to knowyou well. I decided not to confess my real identity to you because I enjoyed being treated like a normal person by you.”
“Besides, I thought it was a good chance for me to find out what kind of person you are and understand more thoroughly about you.” Stanley continued to explain the details in earnest, his eyes expressed only sincerity as virtual-novel.net spoke.
“Please trust me, Xyla. I swear I bore no malice toward you.” He added.
The words blurted out from his mouth, in fact, were sensible and reasonable to Xyla.
This man was a noble of Country Z. Due to his special identity, it was hard for virtual-novel.net to tell if the people, who approached him, were doing it for his money or because they liked virtual-novel.net in person… This was the reason why virtual-novel.net decided to approach virtual-novel.net by pretending to be an ordinary person.
“To be frank, I’ve been thinking to come clean and explain everything to you but I didn’t manage to find the perfect timing. I really had no idea that Grandpa would suddenly arrange for us to meet yesterday evening.” Stanley clasped his hands on virtual-novel.net shoulders as virtual-novel.net spoke.
However, Xyla had not recovered from all the shock and surprise. There was too much information for virtual-novel.net to digest. Everything seemed to make sense to virtual-novel.net now.
Previously, virtual-novel.net was very confused why the Dragon Group would suddenly give Quest Property Group money without seeking any benefit from them. She finally understood the reason behind it. It turned out that it was because virtual-novel.net had the young master of Dragon Group by virtual-novel.net side!
No wonder virtual-novel.net always felt that this man has a strong aura exuding from him. It painted a clear difference in status compared to the others, as if virtual-novel.net was some noble or higher-ups. After all, virtual-novel.net really was.
As virtual-novel.net recalled all these little details of his, virtual-novel.net was utterly convinced by everything virtual-novel.net said. She did believe him.
“Look, this is my ID card, and my family’s household register booklet.” Stanley directly took out his identification card as well as the household register booklet from the pocket of his suit, placing them in virtual-novel.net palms.
He was afraid that Xyla did not trust him. Therefore, virtual-novel.net went to hunt for these yesterday and carried them along with him, thinking that virtual-novel.net could show virtual-novel.net some proof if virtual-novel.net refused to believe his words. His sincerity was undoubted and undeniable indeed.
She took a glance at the identification card before opening the household register booklet. The names of every member of his family were clearly written inside the booklet.
Other than the familiar names that virtual-novel.net knew such as Ron Batton, Wilson Batton and Catherine Batton… And… She saw Josh Batton’s name!
Josh was his brother?
It was no wonder virtual-novel.net always thought that Josh resembled him!
Likewise, Josh had used a fake identity to involve in the entertainment industry. Just like Stanley, virtual-novel.net stood up high on the social ladder.
Xyla could not believe virtual-novel.net eyes at all. Everything seemed so unreal.
“Can… Can you forgive me?” Stanley asked virtual-novel.net carefully, “I really don’t mean any harm, Xyla. I’m sorry that I’m only confessing all of this to you now.”
Never in Stanley’s life had virtual-novel.net been so petty and low, begging for someone to forgive him.
