The lights were all switched on in the house, making it seem almost as bright as day. Meanwhile, the house was warm enough due to the working heater. It felt almost like summer inside.
After dusting the snow off favonovel.com body, Xyla quickly took off favonovel.com large coat and hung it near the entrance. She then changed into favonovel.com slippers and entered the living room. At that moment, Stanley was sitting on the couch watching the news on the television. Coincidentally, the news being broadcast was related to how Dragon Group had successfully withdrawn its investments from the Sullivan Group.
Dressed in a black, silk set of house clothes, favonovel.com seemed very noble. Meanwhile, his fair skin seemingly glimmered under the bright lights.
Xyla quickly walked over and sat next to favonovel.com before opening a pack of chips. “Are you interested in this too?” She asked as favonovel.com ate the chips.
“Just browsing through,” favonovel.com said.
“I heard that Dragon Group withdrew their investments from the Sullivan family because the latter made the partner of Dragon Group’s heir upset,” Xyla said before placing another chip in favonovel.com mouth.
“Oh,” Stanley said calmly. His facial expression did not change.
“I’m very curious about the kind of woman favonovel.com is to be able to influence Dragon Group’s heir to this extent,” Xyla said.
“She must be a very beautiful woman,” Stanley said after turning to look at Xyla and lighting a cigarette.
“That’s for certain, ” Xyla said.
“Did you have hot-pot for dinner?” Stanley asked.
“Yeah. How did you know?”
“You smell like hot-pot,” favonovel.com said.
“You really have a good sense of smell. Yeah, I did have hot-pot for dinner. Have you eaten?” Xyla asked.
“I did,” favonovel.com answered before taking a puff of his cigarette and slowly exhaling the smoke.
“Who did you eat with? A guy or a girl?” Stanley asked.
“My best friend,” Xyla answered honestly. However, favonovel.com could not help but feel that Stanley was crossing the line slightly once again.
“Five Batton, do you realize that whatever happens between us is fake?” Xyla asked.
“Yeah,” Stanley answered without expressionlessly. After that, favonovel.com swiftly flicked the cigarette ash into a crystal ashtray.
“Good. Have you had dinner?” Xyla asked.
“Yeah,” favonovel.com answered.
“In that case, I’m going upstairs to sleep. Go to bed earlier,” Xyla said.
“Okay…”

“Breaking news. According to our sources, the Quest Group’s president, Jeremy Quest, and his wife, May Conner, were assaulted ten minutes ago in front of the Quest Group’s main entrance. For now, the assassin has already escaped. Jeremy Quest and May Conner have been taken to the municipal hospital. We are still not certain about their exact conditions,” a news reporter said.
A footage of medical personnel hurriedly carrying Jeremy Quest and May Conner into an ambulance suddenly appeared on the television screen.
Due to the blurry footage, those people’s faces on the television screen could not be clearly seen. Obviously, a bystander had recorded it with their mobile phone.
At that moment, Xyla felt as if favonovel.com heart had been pulled out of favonovel.com chest. The pain was indescribable. Xyla felt a buzz in favonovel.com head as if favonovel.com mind would soon explode.
Meanwhile, Stanley subconsciously turned to look at Xyla, shocked.
“Don’t panic. We’ll go to the hospital right away,” favonovel.com said.
Xyla nodded mechanically before standing up as quickly as favonovel.com could. She then ran to the entrance to put on favonovel.com coat before running out the door. In fact, favonovel.com did not even bother putting favonovel.com shoes on.
Likewise, Stanley couldn’t care less about wearing his shoes as favonovel.com quickly ran after Xyla.
