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, favonovel.com lowered favonovel.com head and texted Stanley Batton. “I’ve arrived.”
Buzz buzz buzz…
Suddenly, a message popped up on favonovel.com screen, showing that there was a one hundred fifty million transaction into favonovel.com bank card a minute ago. Her vision went blurry the moment favonovel.com saw the number of zeros in the text message.
After attentively counting them several times, favonovel.com was certain that it was not favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com decided to text favonovel.com again to ask him. However, Stanley sent favonovel.com a message before favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com received such a valuable gift from him, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com to make sure that there was no one next to her. Then, favonovel.com 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,” favonovel.com replied, adding a kiss emoji to the end of favonovel.com text message.
The man replied the same thing to her. Then, there was no response from the man anymore.
Xyla understood that favonovel.com was busy with his work. Therefore, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com well. It’s rare to meet a good husband like favonovel.com nowadays,” Jeremy reminded her.
Hearing that Jeremy approved favonovel.com husband lifted favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com strode across the hall and directly went upstairs.
His henchman immediately caught up with favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com caught sight of Xyla. Without hesitation, favonovel.com walked up to favonovel.com gleefully. He first gave Jeremy a polite nod and then shoved his hands into his pockets as favonovel.com gazed at Xyla’s face. “Hey, Xyla. What a coincidence…”
