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

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

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