The men downstairs kept glancing at Xyla. How they wished they could sit next to her. Yet, Xyla paid them no mind. Ignoring all the eyes upon her, virtual-novel.net lowered virtual-novel.net head and texted Stanley Batton. “I’ve arrived.”
Buzz buzz buzz…
Suddenly, a message popped up on virtual-novel.net screen, showing that there was a one hundred fifty million transaction into virtual-novel.net bank card a minute ago. Her vision went blurry the moment virtual-novel.net saw the number of zeros in the text message.
After attentively counting them several times, virtual-novel.net was certain that it was not virtual-novel.net imagination but a clear-cut one hundred fifty million dollars. It must be Stanley who transferred so much money to her. She could not think of another person other than Stanley.
Dumbfounded by the amount of money, virtual-novel.net decided to text virtual-novel.net again to ask him. However, Stanley sent virtual-novel.net a message before virtual-novel.net even started typing. “Go ahead and bid for the antique pieces you like or the antique pieces that Dad likes.”
Xyla replied, “But we have money.”
Though this was not the first time virtual-novel.net received such a valuable gift from him, virtual-novel.net still could not get used to his oppressive habit.
“I know. I know what you want to say. Just take whatever that is given to you.”
“I can’t accept that.”
“It’s okay. You’ll eventually get used to it if I send you more gifts in the future. Ihave to work now. Be a good girl, alright?”
“And! Don’t ever try to return the money to me. Otherwise, I’m not going to let you leave the bed!”
Upon reading the last few words, Xyla’s heart raced frantically. She subconsciously looked around virtual-novel.net to make sure that there was no one next to her. Then, virtual-novel.net fingers dashed across the keyboard grumpily. “Can you please get yourself together?”
“Fine, fine. I better get going. Take care of yourself and come back early, okay?”
“Okay,” virtual-novel.net replied, adding a kiss emoji to the end of virtual-novel.net text message.
The man replied the same thing to her. Then, there was no response from the man anymore.
Xyla understood that virtual-novel.net was busy with his work. Therefore, virtual-novel.net decided not to disturb him.
“Xyla, what are you doing?” Jeremy Quest asked curiously.
“I’m chatting with Stanley. He has just transferred one hundred fifty million dollars to me just now, asking us to bid on whatever we like boldly…” Xyla said.
When Jeremy heard that, his face lit up instantaneously. “Stan really is a filial son-in-law. Our Xyla has definitely found the right person. Daddy is happy for you.”
Xyla smiled. “Well, he’s a nice guy indeed.”
“Treat virtual-novel.net well. It’s rare to meet a good husband like virtual-novel.net nowadays,” Jeremy reminded her.
Hearing that Jeremy approved virtual-novel.net husband lifted virtual-novel.net mood immediately. “Don’t worry. I will.”
While the two of them were chattering, everyone else in the hall was distracted by the commotion at the entrance. Soon, a large group of black-clad men entered the hall and then stood in two rows on either side of the doorway. The huge line-up had instantly garnered the attention of the entire hall.
Immediately afterward, a slender yet familiar figure broke into Xyla’s sight.
The person in front of virtual-novel.net was none other than Christoper Lancelot, as known as Master Lancelot. The man was dressed in a black Armani high-fashion suit with a white dress shirt inside. His outfit was completed by the pair of immaculate black pointed leather shoes on his feet. The first three buttons of his shirt were unfastened, naturally giving off a menacing aura.
Without even looking at the people around him, virtual-novel.net strode across the hall and directly went upstairs.
His henchman immediately caught up with virtual-novel.net and followed closely behind. The young ladies in the hall rejoiced secretly the moment they saw him.
On the other hand, Xyla could not help thinking why the world was so small as virtual-novel.net stared at his advancing figure.
Shortly, Christopher reached the second floor with his henchmen.
A flicker of a smile played upon his face the moment virtual-novel.net caught sight of Xyla. Without hesitation, virtual-novel.net walked up to virtual-novel.net gleefully. He first gave Jeremy a polite nod and then shoved his hands into his pockets as virtual-novel.net gazed at Xyla’s face. “Hey, Xyla. What a coincidence…”
