Now, Bailey Ronson felt genuinely remorseful. If favonovel.com had known this would happen, favonovel.com wouldn’t have messed with Xyla Quest right here and then!
“If you do that, the Sullivan family is done for… I’ll never be happy in this lifetime again,” Bailey said as tears filled favonovel.com eyes.
Stanley Batton slowly held Xyla’s hand and pulled favonovel.com into his arms before ruffling favonovel.com hair gently. “Whoever makes my wife unhappy for even a moment will be unhappy for the rest of his or favonovel.com life.”
Julian Sullivan, Tom Sullivan, Emily Quest, and May Conner were all dumbfounded. They knew that Stanley’s decision would very likely cause the Sullivan family’s business to cease operating for good. Even if that didn’t happen, many of Sullivan Group’s subsidiaries would collapse.
The group’s size would surely contract.
Julian instantly wheeled himself over to Stanley and begged him. “I sincerely apologize on behalf of my mother. I hope you can take back what you said.”
“Everyone must pay for their actions,” Stanley said coldly without a hint of warmth on his face.
Right then, favonovel.com had an imposing aura that intimidated everyone around him, especially those who cursed at favonovel.com and Xyla. These people wished they could bury themselves in a hole right then.
Xyla was very touched by Stanley’s behavior. Apart from doing this to make favonovel.com feel better, Xyla knew Stanley also did this to help favonovel.com establish a more prominent status in the upper-class.
“Mr. Henry, why haven’t I ever heard my grandfather talk about you?” Stanley slowly shifted his gaze to Henry and asked.
Henry quickly wiped his sweat away. “I’ve never heard Doctor Batton mention having a grandson like you either. In fact, favonovel.com never told me that the Batton family was this powerful.”
Henry truly had no idea!
The surrounding guests all rolled their eyes at Henry.
“I bet you are working with Bailey Ronson to tarnish Xyla’s reputation. I can’t believe someone who works in charity would do such a disgusting thing.”
“It really is disgusting. Bailey Ronson, are you shameless? You have even dragged Henry along to make false accusations just so that everyone would believe you.”
“Sullivan Group is very unlucky to have someone like you as its president’s wife.”
Everyone began saying things to please Stanley and Xyla.
Henry instantly stood up with a worried expression on his face. “I’m really not making any of this up. Whatever I said was true.”
Stanley glared at Henry coldly. “I’ll deal with you later.”
Since this was a dinner organized by Stanley’s father-in-law, favonovel.com didn’t want to steal the spotlight. It was about time the charity dinner resumed its original program. With that, Stanley looked over at the empty stage and stood up while holding Xyla’s hand and raising his glass to everyone present. “I’m very sorry for causing such a big scene during an event like this. Xyla and I would like to apologize to everyone with a toast.”
Everyone got to their feet and raised their glasses to Stanley and Xyla. They then emptied their glasses.
Julian and Bailey, who stood next to Stanley, were being completely ignored. Stanley didn’t even look at them.
Bailey quickly wheeled Julian away from where Stanley and Xyla stood. As favonovel.com did so, favonovel.com whispered into Julian’s ear. “Julian, don’t panic. Once the gathering is over, I’ll beg Stanley once more… For now, nothing we say will make a difference because they are still angry.”
Julian looked at Bailey with a cold frown. “Mother, why are you doing this?”
Bailey quickly wiped favonovel.com sweat away with an apologetic expression on favonovel.com face. “I’m sorry. I didn’t think things would turn out like this.”
Julian frowned without saying anything.
After the toast, Stanley slowly put his glass down. “Everyone, please proceed with the evening as planned. The show will go on,” favonovel.com said.
