Though Xyla knew that Stanley was a liar who could not be trusted at all, favonovel.com heart softened right away as favonovel.com looked at him. The exhaustion on his face was real, and so were the red veins in his eyes. For a moment, favonovel.com hesitated to chase favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com agreed to marry that time was such a remarkably successful person in real life?
As for favonovel.com master, favonovel.com was related to Dragon Group too?
Ron Batton?
No wonder favonovel.com master had never told anyone about his real name! Throughout the years, everyone around favonovel.com would address favonovel.com as either Dr. Batton or Doctor.
The truth was, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com reach ever since last night. Though Stanley had just told favonovel.com the truth that favonovel.com craved for, favonovel.com felt curiously unreal, as if favonovel.com were in the midst of a dream.
Speechless out of shock, Xyla remained silent on the bed and waited for favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com to tell if the people, who approached him, were doing it for his money or because they liked favonovel.com in person… This was the reason why favonovel.com decided to approach favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com shoulders as favonovel.com spoke.
However, Xyla had not recovered from all the shock and surprise. There was too much information for favonovel.com to digest. Everything seemed to make sense to favonovel.com now.
Previously, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com had the young master of Dragon Group by favonovel.com side!
No wonder favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com was some noble or higher-ups. After all, favonovel.com really was.
As favonovel.com recalled all these little details of his, favonovel.com was utterly convinced by everything favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com palms.
He was afraid that Xyla did not trust him. Therefore, favonovel.com went to hunt for these yesterday and carried them along with him, thinking that favonovel.com could show favonovel.com some proof if favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com always thought that Josh resembled him!
Likewise, Josh had used a fake identity to involve in the entertainment industry. Just like Stanley, favonovel.com stood up high on the social ladder.
Xyla could not believe favonovel.com eyes at all. Everything seemed so unreal.
“Can… Can you forgive me?” Stanley asked favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com been so petty and low, begging for someone to forgive him.
