After casually tossing virtual-novel.net phone aside, Xyla looked at the handsome man in front of her. “Let’s eat out tonight.”
“Okay,” Stanley agreed right away.
Beep, beep, beep…
At this moment, his phone started vibrating too. He picked it up and looked at the screen. When virtual-novel.net saw that Zack Cassidy was calling, virtual-novel.net answered immediately.
“Master Stanley, are you coming for the meeting or not? The high-level executives didn’t dare leave the office because they have been waiting for you,” Zack said.
“Let’s do it tomorrow morning,” Stanley added.
On the other end of the call, and in Dragon Group’s office, Zack cursed at Stanley in his heart for being a foolish man.
“Alright,” Zack said respectfully.
Stanley hung up the phone right away before sitting up lazily. “Let’s go. We’ll take a bath and head out,” virtual-novel.net said.
After getting up, Xyla instantly caught sight of the crisscrossed scratch marks on his back.
They continued to remind virtual-novel.net how madly virtual-novel.net had behaved. However, Xyla didn’t want to move at all. Her entire body was aching very badly. Reluctantly, virtual-novel.net sat up in bed. As virtual-novel.net did so, virtual-novel.net long hair naturally fell beside her. Her hair was even smoother than the female models in shampoo advertisements.
Right then, Stanley was charmed once more. Before Xyla could get out of bed, virtual-novel.net picked virtual-novel.net up and walked into the bathroom.
“What are you doing?” Xyla panicked. “Are you thinking of doing it again? I’m warning you, you’re not allowed…” She began to speak.
“What do you think I am?” Stanley seemed helpless.
Only then did Xyla drop virtual-novel.net guard, and virtual-novel.net allowed virtual-novel.net to carry virtual-novel.net into the bathroom.

After taking a bath, Xyla felt much better. She dried virtual-novel.net hair and quickly sat in front of the dressing table to put virtual-novel.net makeup on. That was when virtual-novel.net noticed that virtual-novel.net neck and chest were covered in markings.
When virtual-novel.net saw these, virtual-novel.net froze. It was madness!
After quickly putting on some light makeup, Xyla used concealers to cover up the marks carefully. She then added a few layers of powder to virtual-novel.net neck. Only then did the marks were concealed. After that, Xyla entered the closet and selected a three-quarters long-sleeved, medium-length dress, a pair of black high heels, and a silver Hermes handbag. Casually, virtual-novel.net tied virtual-novel.net hair up into a tall ponytail before walking out of the bedroom.
By then, Stanley had also gotten changed in the bedroom next door and had walked out. Coincidentally, Xyla’s father had also sent virtual-novel.net the location where they would have dinner through WhatsApp.
Stanley was wearing a fitting black suit and a white shirt underneath and a black vest on the outside. His shirt was completely buttoned up, and the red marks were also perfectly concealed. None of them could be seen. Now, virtual-novel.net looked like his usual cold and distant self.
“Let’s go…” Stanley walked up to Xyla and extended his hand.
Xyla naturally held his hand with their fingers intercrossed before they walked out the door.
Very soon, Stanley drove them away from the manor in his car…
Xyla took virtual-novel.net phone out and checked the list of trending topics today.
The title on the thirtieth place, ‘#Unceasing fireworks all through the night#’ caught Xyla’s attention. Subconsciously, Xyla thought about the fireworks they had put on display throughout the night the day before. After that, virtual-novel.net looked up at Stanley as virtual-novel.net tapped on the link.
Indeed, the post was about someone in the suburbs, putting on fireworks for an entire night. Netizens were having a heated discussion in the comment section.
“My friend lives in the suburbs. Last night, on virtual-novel.net way home, virtual-novel.net saw someone putting on fireworks in Rosales Manor. She then stopped virtual-novel.net car by the road to watch. After that, more and more people were attracted by the fireworks and gathered around virtual-novel.net to watch the fireworks. They stayed there and watched the fireworks for the entire night. It only stopped by the time the sun was nearly up.”
“Which wealthy person in Rosales Manor did this? Putting on fireworks for an entire night. Is virtual-novel.net mad? How much would it have cost? Some people really are born into money.”
