Ch. 1121..1130

Chapter 1121

The moment Georgie Clementine's heel landed on Woody Grayson's foot, he immediately yelped in pain. "Ahh..."

Suddenly, the veins on his neck bulged.

In the next second, Georgie quickly pulled her leg away before turning around and leaving...

"Georgie Clementine, just you wait. I'll definitely make your life miserable in Atlantis!" Woody pointed at Georgie angrily as he shouted.

The dispute between them very quickly attracted a crowd of observers.

Regardless of how many pairs of eyes were on her, Georgie remained calm and dominant as usual.

Henry Armstrong saw that this person deserved to be hit too. He immediately tugged at the tie around his neck, turning his neck around slightly. After that, he directly rolled his white sleeves up to his elbows. Then, Henry walked right over to Woody and forcefully punched the man in his face.

In the next second, Woody fell to the ground.

With some of his teeth knocked off, fresh blood immediately flowed out of his mouth. Woody was in so much pain that his entire body broke into a cold sweat.

"D*mn it... How dare you mess with the woman I like? Do you want to die?" Henry glared coldly at Woody, who was on the ground, as he asked.

When Georgie heard the commotion behind her, she instantly turned around and looked.

After witnessing this scene, she seemed stunned.

She didn't think Henry would show up here. Moreover, she didn't think he would hit someone openly on the street for her sake...

From her perspective, Henry did seem quite manly like this...

"Poof..." Woody quickly spat the blood in his mouth and his fallen teeth aside. After that, he stood up staggeringly before pointing at Henry furiously. "Who the hell are you? Do you know who I am?" "Why should I care who you are?" Henry asked.

Georgie couldn't help but smile at what Henry said from behind.

Woody became even angrier. "You... Just you wait!"

"I'll wait for your mother..." Henry sneered. After that, he quickly walked over to Georgie. As he looked at Georgie, he cocked his head in Woody's direction. "Who's that? How did you get to know him?" Henry asked.

"My mother... Introduced him. She set us up on a date," Georgie said truthfully with a slight frown.

"No way... Why did Auntie introduce you to someone like him?" Henry had a confused look in his eyes.

"Perhaps my mother thinks he's not too bad." Georgie frowned a little.

"What happened to you earlier? How did you two get into a fight?" Henry asked curiously.

"It's a long story... Why are you here?" Georgie asked.

Henry chuckled. "I was having a meal inside... In a room on the second floor. I walked out of the room to pick up a call earlier. Without realizing it, I ended up walking to the entrance. Then, I stumbled into this scene..."

"Oh, thank you..." Georgie said.

After that, Georgie looked around at the crowd. "You should go inside. Don't stay out here. It'll be bad if someone records you getting involved in this mess..." She said.

"What's the matter? Are you worried about me?" Henry looked down slightly at Georgie's face. There was a look of affection and curiosity in his eyes.

Georgie immediately rolled her eyes at him. "Who's worried about you?"

Henry smiled naturally. "Don't worry. Even if it's a catastrophic ordeal, I'll be able to sort it out..."

With that, Henry reached out and grabbed Georgie's hand.

Georgie struggled to pull away. "What are you doing?"

 

Chapter 1122

Chapter 1122

"Xyla, Stanley, and the others are all up there. Come... Let's go up and eat," Henry Armstrong said before pulling Georgie Clementine inside.

"No, I won't be going. I still have some stuff to do..." Georgie said as she struggled to pull away.

However, Henry simply wouldn't let go. He dragged her forcefully into the restaurant.

As soon as he walked through the door, he lowered his head and took out his phone with one hand to call his assistant, Rosalie Myers. "Inform the subordinates that what I did in front of Lou's Chrysanthemum must not be shared to the public..."

After that, Henry directly hung up his phone and continued pulling Georgie into the restaurant...

"Henry... I really don't want to go... I've already eaten," Georgie said. She didn't want to stick around with Henry.

Hearing this, Henry immediately came to a halt and smiled and looked at her face. "If you don't go, I'll kiss you in front of everyone until you cry right here, right now," he whispered by her ear.

Everyone walking past in the huge lobby had all focused their attention on this attractive couple.

Georgie immediately blushed. "If you dare!"

"You know that there's nothing I'm afraid of doing," Henry said.

"I'll hit you... Do you believe that?" Georgie threatened with an annoyed frown.

Henry chuckled. "I just helped you beat a jerk up. Wouldn't it be too unthankful of you to hit me?"

Georgie was instantly rendered speechless.

Henry smiled satisfactorily. The distinctive black and white parts of his peach-shaped eyes glistened when he smiled.

In the next second, Henry carried Georgie in his arms dominantly and headed upstairs. "Let's go, honey..."

"Henry... Didn't I tell you not to call me 'honey' again? Also, put me down," Georgie said as she struggled to set herself free.

"No... I won't let you go in this lifetime," Henry insisted.

Everyone in the huge lobby was looking at the two of them.

Georgie really couldn't stand him anymore. She instantly shook her head helplessly and decided to compromise. "Alright, alright... Put me down, and I'll come up with you. Okay?" Sometimes, she really didn't know how to deal with Henry. He was really thick-skinned.

Georgie knew that if she disagreed this time, he'd forcefully carry her upstairs...

"Alright..." Only then did Henry carefully put her down.

Georgie rolled her eyes at him right away before heading upstairs.

"Honey, wait for me..." Henry quickly followed her.

"How many times have I said it? Stop calling me 'honey'!" Georgie yelled.

"Really? Did you say that? Honey..." Henry said.

"You... Are you shameless?" Georgie truly felt that this person was shameless. He was deliberately dishonest every day.

"Why should I care about my reputation in front of you?" Henry asked.

Georgie was speechless.

"Do you know that one can't worry about his reputation when going after a girl?" Henry asked.

Georgie remained silent.

"Those who are overly cautious when going after a girl end up single when they're old. Did you know that?" Henry asked. Georgie still didn't reply to him.

"Let's go, honey," Henry said.

"Shameless," Georgie couldn't resist cursing under her breath once more.

"Hmm... I'll only be shameless with you, alright?" Henry asked.

Chapter 1123

Chapter 1123

Georgie Clementine rolled her eyes at Henry Armstrong. She didn't want to continue talking to this person at all. Instead, she silently walked upstairs with him.

However, Henry struck up a conversation again. "How did you get into a fight with that lunatic? Can you tell me now?"

After that, Georgie told Henry everything in detail. She still had an annoyed look in her eyes.

When Georgie talked about this, she was very upset.

Henry instantly nodded a few times. The look of approval in his eyes grew more intense. He couldn't help but smile when he looked at her approvingly. "You did awesome. It's always great to punish jerks sometimes. When you do it all the time, you get to feel great all the time."

"I bet that psycho won't give up so easily. My mother told me his family is quite rich..." Georgie said.

She predicted that Woody Grayson would still come looking for trouble for a while.

However, she had nothing to be afraid of either.

However, Henry snickered indifferently. "Tsk... He'd better not give up so easily. I'll teach him a lesson when the time comes. Rich? Could he be richer than me?

"Don't worry. Even if the sky comes crashing down, I'll hold it up for you," Henry added.

His words instantly made Georgie feel a warmth spread in her heart.

However, she still displayed a cold expression outwardly. "Who said I needed your help to hold it up for me? Can't I deal with something minor like this on my own?" As the two of them spoke, they arrived on the second floor.

At the end of the staircase, Georgie came to a halt and looked calmly at Henry. "Which room is it?" she asked.

"Come with me..." With that, Henry started taking big strides toward the room they had booked.

Georgie followed close behind him.

When the two of them walked through the door, Xyla Quest and the others were eating.

A few of them had shocked expressions upon their faces when they saw Georgie coming in...

Right after that, Xyla stood up with a smile and looked gently at Georgie. "Georgie... Why are you here? What's going on between the two of you?"

Earlier, Henry was still talking about going after Georgie.

Why were the two of them here together now?

Could he have managed to make her his? But didn't that seem a bit unlikely?

"It's a long story..." Georgie said.

As soon as she finished speaking, Henry grabbed her hand and led her to the seat next to him. He pulled the chair out for her like a gentleman and sat her down on the chair. His behavior was extremely dominant, and he didn't allow Georgie to refuse at all.

Rachel Wood, who was closest to Georgie, instantly smiled at her.

Georgie smiled back at Rachel.

"Hello, everyone..." Georgie looked at everyone at the table and said.

"Hello... Ms. Georgie, what's going on with you two?" Sebastian Brenand looked at Georgie excitedly. He was trying to find out about something.

Before Georgie could speak, Henry pulled his chair out and sat down with one leg crossed over the other. "I bumped into her at the entrance... That's why I brought her over." After saying that, Henry looked at everyone. "Do you know what shocking thing our Georgie over here did?" he asked.

"What?" Sebastian asked.

Henry immediately recounted the story of how Georgie beat a jerk up. The more he talked about it, the more pleased he seemed. Xyla, Stanley Batton, and Sebastian all knew that Georgie could do such a thing based on her personality. Nobody found it odd... Everyone had a vague smile on their faces.

Rachel was the only one who seemed stunned. When she looked at Georgie, her gaze turned from calm to admiration.

"Police officer... Over here... Over here..." Right then, Woody Grayson's voice could be heard outside the door.

Chapter 1124

Chapter 1124

"One man and one woman inside this room beat me up. Hurry up and lock them up in prison." Woody Grayson's voice could be heard once again. He still sounded angry.

When people in the room heard his voice, they all frowned a little.

Henry Armstrong snorted coldly as he gently moved his wrists around. "Bloody hell. He actually dares to come here..."

Right after that, someone pushed the door open.

Woody, whose face was swollen with bruises, stood at the door and pointed arrogantly at Henry and Georgie Clementine inside the room. "You two... Come out. You're both dead! You're definitely going to prison!"

Henry smiled a little, but he didn't say anything. Instead, he calmly drank his tea.

Meanwhile, the other people in the room didn't even bat an eyelid at Woody. They all continued to eat their food.

Each of them seemed to have an aura of power around them.

However, in the next second, when Woody's gaze landed upon Stanley Batton's face with a cold expression, he immediately felt uneasy all over...

Suddenly, the flame of arrogance inside him disappeared completely.

There was now a panicked expression upon his face.

Subconsciously, Woody took a step backward. His entire body was trembling. Afterward, he took in a breath of cold air...

This bloody man and woman were actually Stanley's friends!

Didn't that mean Woody had hit a brick wall?

He thought his family was powerful enough. He didn't think he'd bump into someone who was even more powerful than him...

Woody knew that he was probably going to suffer today.

Right then, over ten police officers rushed over to the door.

The leader of the police officers was a middle-aged, bald guy. As soon as he saw the people seated at the table, he was stunned...

He couldn't afford to offend any one of those people seated.

Meanwhile, the other police officers looked down, too. Nobody dared to make a move...

Henry slowly stood up with his hands chucked into his pockets. He walked over to the door and looked at Woody, who was now trembling. After that, he shifted his gaze to the middle-aged, bald police officer's face. "Mr. Horthon... Did you personally come to arrest me?"

"S-Sorry... Mr. Armstrong... We didn't know it was you... If we had known, we... We definitely wouldn't have dared to..." The police officer said.

Woody carefully moved closer to Mr. Horthon. "Who is this...?" Woody asked.

"This is the young master of the Armstrong family in Atlantis, Henry Armstrong," Mr. Horthon said.

At that moment, Woody directly peed out of shock. In the next second, he quickly looked down and continuously trembled.

Henry smiled as he looked at Woody. However, his eyes weren't smiling. "Weren't you very arrogant just now? Why are you looking down now?" Henry asked.

Woody instantly kneeled on the ground with a thud. His palms pressed together as he looked at Henry. "Mr. Armstrong, I'm sorry. I was ignorant. If I had known your identity, I wouldn't have dared to do this,” he said.

"Hurry up and stand up... So you can die," Henry glared coldly at Woody condescendingly as he spoke.

Woody shook his head furiously...

Henry ignored him. Instead, he shifted his gaze to Mr. Horthon. "He was at fault in this matter in the first place. Now, do you know what to do?" Henry asked.

"Yes, I do... We'll lock him up..." Mr. Horthon said.

When Woody heard this, his body trembled even more intensely. "No... Mr. Armstrong, please forgive me."

However, Henry didn't even look at Woody. Instead, he slowly turned around and leisurely walked back over to Georgie.

At this moment, Henry looked extremely dominant.

For an instant, Georgie felt charmed by him.

Woody would never have thought that things would turn out this way.

Chapter 1125

Chapter 1125

At first, Woody Grayson had hoped that the police officers he brought with him could arrest the people who beat him up.

However, he didn't expect that he'd end up being the person who was arrested. Meanwhile, apart from silently accepting his fate, he couldn't do anything about it right now...

It was the Armstrong family from Atlantis. People like Woody couldn't afford to offend someone from that family.

When Woody recalled how he had acted so arrogantly in front of Henry Armstrong, he felt foolish.

"Lock this person up," Henry said again. "He's not to be released for at least half a year," he added.

With that, Henry lit up a cigarette and began taking a puff at it with one leg crossed over the other.

"Yes, Mr. Armstrong..." After speaking, Mr. Horthon took the lead to turn around and leave.

Meanwhile, the other police officers restrained Woody in a rough manner and followed behind Mr. Horthon.

The door closed-

The entire world became quiet and peaceful as it was before.

As an observer, Xyla Quest frowned slightly after witnessing this scene. "Why is this person so weird?" she asked.

Georgie Clementine shrugged confusedly as she shook her head. "I don't know. It's probably because he thinks his family is rich and powerful. I heard from my mother that this person's parents both run their respective companies. Also, his father is the younger brother of Atlantis' mayor..."

"Is that all? Does that really give him the right to behave so arrogantly?" Henry also felt a little speechless.

Xyla felt the same way.

"Speaking of... You two are really ruthless. Look at how you beat someone's child up, will you?" Sebastian Brenand couldn't resist laughing. "It feels way too great. Hahaha..."

Henry slowly took a puff at his cigarette before slowly exhaling. One of his legs remained crossed over the other. "That was necessary..."

After that, Henry looked at the pretty waitress next to him. "Bring an extra set of dining utensils for my wife..."

Georgie's face instantly turned cold. "Who's your wife? Can you not say things that aren't true?"

Henry chuckled. "You will be... Sooner or later," he said.

"Stop dreaming... Alright?" Georgie said.

"I'm not dreaming," Henry said.

"You are dreaming," Georgie said.

"I said I'm not dreaming," Henry said.

"If you don't shut up, I'm leaving," Georgie said.

"Alright, I'll shut up..." Henry said.

Everyone was speechless.

Sebastian took the lead to change the topic. "Ms. Clementine, allow me to introduce you officially... This is my wife, Rachel Wood," Sebastian said.

After that, Sebastian looked at Rachel. "This beautiful lady is Georgie Clementine."

Georgie immediately smiled and extended a hand to Rachel. "Nice to meet you..."

Rachel smiled as well and shook Georgie's hand. "Nice to meet you... I'm really impressed by you... That's how we ought to deal with jerks like him," Rachel said. Georgie shrugged nonchalantly. "That's just my natural reflex," she said.

After the meal, Sebastian brought Rachel to play mahjong with Henry and Stanley.

Meanwhile, Xyla dragged Georgie over to the balcony.

The balcony had an open-air design. When one stood here, one could see the beautiful night scenery of the city center clearly...

"How do you feel... About Henry Armstrong?" Xyla asked softly. Her voice was as gentle as ever.

Chapter 1126

Chapter 1126

Georgie Clementine looked calmly at the night scenery beneath her feet. "How else can I feel? He's a womanizer. We're not compatible... I don't want to have feelings for him..." Georgie said. Xyla Quest gently held Georgie's hand. "Now, Henry is no longer the womanizer he was before. He's turned over a new leaf..."

Georgie chuckled again. "I wouldn't dare believe in him..."

Henry Armstrong's visits to Georgie hadn't decreased in recent times.

To be honest, after spending so much time together, Georgie couldn't exactly say that she had no feelings for him at all.

Sometimes, she did feel moved.

However, Georgie could control herself. That was because she didn't want to fall for a womanizer like him so easily.

Being in a relationship with someone like Henry was like a gamble. If she won the gamble, she'd be happy for the rest of her life. If she lost, she'd never recover from it. Georgie didn't want to gamble.

Hence, whenever she saw Henry now, she'd try her best to avoid him.

When Xyla heard Georgie's answer that she was afraid, and she didn't dislike Henry, Xyla instantly had an answer in her heart.

Xyla grabbed Georgie's hand again. "Now, Henry really is different from how he was before. Apart from you, he has not gotten close with anyone else. He really has set his eyes on you alone. Why don't you give yourself a chance? Give it a try... As an observer, I see everything clearly. Henry genuinely wants to be in a relationship with you. He's not playing around. He has turned over a new leaf for you," Xyla enunciated each word slowly and carefully.

After hearing what Xyla said, Georgie felt a little moved. However, she didn't dare to decide too quickly. "I'll think about it for a while..."

Xyla chuckled and patted Georgie on her shoulder. "Alright. Think about it carefully."

Georgie nodded gently.

Right then, Sebastian Brenand walked over with a smile. "We're heading to the bar later... Are you guys coming along?"

Xyla nodded decisively. "Sure... Let's go..."

After that, Xyla hugged Georgie. "Let's have some fun... We've not gone to the bar for a long time," Xyla said. Georgie nodded.

***

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Xyla and the others arrived at Unconscious Bar, which was not far away from Lou's Chrysanthemum...

As soon as they entered the bar, they took the elevator to the top floor where Sky Garden was located.

Once they entered the room, everyone sat around the coffee table.

Georgie sat on her own at a single couch nearby. Henry naturally sat on the armrest of the couch Georgie was sitting on.

When Georgie saw this, she rolled her eyes unhappily at Henry.

Meanwhile, Sebastian, Rachel Wood, Xyla, and Stanley Batton sat in a row on a long couch.

After they had all sat down, two pretty waitresses approached them with the alcohol menu...

Sebastian immediately looked at the two waitresses. "Bring us the best wine and beer you have... We want three bottles of wine and ten bottles of beer..."

The two pretty waitresses instantly took down Sebastian's order. After that, they quickly left the room.

Immediately after that, Sebastian excitedly wrapped his arm around Rachel's shoulders and looked at the rest. "Let's play a game together. What do you think?"

"What game?" Xyla asked with interest.

However, Stanley seemed cold as usual beside Xyla.

He silently wrapped his arm around Xyla's shoulders as he took a puff at his cigarette. He didn't say a word. It was as if he was an isolated flower that was far above everything else.

"What about truth or dare?" Sebastian asked.

"Sure... I don't have a problem with that..." Xyla said excitedly.

Right after that, Henry, Rachel, Georgie, and the rest all nodded in agreement.

When Sebastian saw that Stanley wasn't speaking, he instantly lifted his chin in Stanley's direction. "What about you? What do you think? Are you going to play?" He asked flamboyantly as he continued to hold Rachel.

"Sure..." Stanley said calmly.

Chapter 1127

Chapter 1127

When Sebastian Brenand heard this, he directly picked up a complimentary bottle of beer on the table. He quickly opened it and emptied the bottle...

After that, he placed the empty bottle in the center of the coffee table.

"We'll use this to play truth or dare. I'll explain the rules now," he said each word clearly.

"I'll take the first spin... Whoever the bottle points at, that person loses. The loser must choose between truth or dare. After choosing, the loser must directly carry out the request from the person who spun the bottle... Once the request is done, it will be the loser's turn to spin, and so on. No questions, right?" Sebastian asked.

When Xyla Quest heard this, she couldn't resist frowning. "Why do you get to spin the bottle first?"

"Because I'm handsome," Sebastian said confidently.

"Fine... You win," Xyla said.

As soon as Xyla finished speaking, Sebastian spun the bottle.

In the end, the bottle pointed directly at Georgie Clementine.

Georgie smiled and looked at Sebastian. "I choose dare. Truth is boring."

Nearby, Henry Armstrong looked at Georgie smilingly the entire time. His eyes were filled with adoration. It was as if there were stars in his eyes.

"Alright... In that case, kiss Henry," Sebastian said with an evil chuckle.

As soon as he finished speaking, he gave Henry an evil wink with his right eye.

When Georgie heard this, she instantly felt her heart clenching tightly.

Henry instantly smiled and gave Sebastian a thumbs up.

Xyla frowned unhappily as she looked at Sebastian. "A game is a game. You're not allowed to go to such extremes," she said.

"Oh." Sebastian nodded obediently.

Meanwhile, Henry looked expectantly at Georgie. "Come on... I'm ready..."

In the next second, Henry started inching closer and closer to Georgie's lips.

However, Georgie rolled her eyes at Henry. She then blocked his lips with her hand and looked at Sebastian. "I choose to drink..."

With that, Georgie picked up a bottle of beer on the table. She popped it open with the corner of the coffee table and emptied the bottle in one gulp. The whole thing lasted less than ten seconds.

When Henry saw this, he instantly touched his forehead in disappointment.

In the next second, Georgie placed the empty bottle on the coffee table and quickly spun it.

After that, the bottle began spinning around rapidly.

Everyone shifted their gaze to the tip of the bottle that was spinning rapidly.

Soon, the tip pointed directly at Stanley.

When Stanley, who had a cold expression, saw this, he instantly looked indifferently at Georgie's face.

"Truth or dare, what do you choose?" Georgie asked calmly.

"Truth..." Stanley said.

"Mr. Batton, what are you most afraid of?" Georgie asked.

Stanley took a deep puff at his cigarette before slowly exhaling. He slowly shifted his gaze to Xyla's face. "That Xyla doesn't want me anymore," he said.

His words instantly struck a chord in the deepest part of Xyla's heart.

Right after that, Xyla's heart started beating wildly out of control.

"I will never not want you..." Xyla smiled gently. Her eyes seemed to be as clear and gentle as the water in the lake during autumn.

"Tsk, tsk... It really is true love," Sebastian chuckled and said.

Right then, two pretty waitresses happened to walk in with the alcohol Sebastian ordered...

The two of them completely overheard what Stanley said.

They were both overwhelmed by Stanley's words.

In this instant, the two felt even more envious, jealous, and hateful toward Xyla...

Chapter 1128

Chapter 1128

After the two pretty waitresses put down the alcohol. They glanced at each other before walking out of the room.

Once the door was closed behind them, the two of them started carefully discussing with each other-

"Isn't Stanley way too humble in front of Xyla? He's such an excellent man, but he's actually so afraid of his wife that he'd lose himself?"

"Xyla is too lucky. I've never been jealous of anyone, but this time, I'm really jealous."

"There's no use being jealous. It's our fault for not having such god-like luck as Xyla."

***

Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton stayed around to have fun at the bar until two o'clock in the morning before heading home.

The two of them had both drunk quite a lot. After taking a shower, they started fooling around again due to their drunkenness... Xyla was kept busy all night long.

When she opened her eyes the next day, it was already noon....

The moment she woke up, she felt her body aching all over.

At this moment, Xyla felt as if she was like a broken rag doll that had been run over by a car countless times.

After turning around with much difficulty, she saw that Stanley was still in bed.

He was wearing a white shirt with a pair of black dress pants.

Right then, he was sitting at the head of the bed with his laptop in his hands, focused on his work.

When Xyla saw him being so energetic, she couldn't help but ask some questions in her mind.

Why was he always so energetic after they had sex?

Shouldn't men be more tired after this kind of stuff?

Xyla felt awfully confused by this.

"When did you get up?" Xyla moved her sore neck around a little before rubbing her thin waist and asking softly. She sounded a little drained... "Earlier... Dad, Mom, and Grandpa asked us to go home for a while. They said there's something important they want to announce..." Stanley said. "Now?" Xyla asked.

"Anytime will do. They're waiting for you at home," Stanley said.

His voice still sounded awfully good!

"In that case, I'll get out of bed now..." With that, Xyla struggled to get up. "I wonder, what is it about?" Xyla asked curiously.

"Naturally, it has to be good news." However, Stanley didn't answer her question directly.

This made Xyla even more curious. "What exactly is it? Don't be mysterious..."

Stanley chuckled. "You'll find out once you go there," he said.

Seeing that Stanley didn't want to tell her, Xyla didn't continue asking. She simply struggled to get out of bed and cleaned herself up.

Once she was done, she put on intricate, nude makeup. Moreover, she pulled her black, curly hair back into a high ponytail.

At the base of her ponytail, she put on a large, intricate, red butterfly ribbon. Her bright and full forehead was exposed.

She looked like an eighteen-year-old teenager.

After making sure her makeup was fine, she quickly walked into the closet. She selected a classic, black Chanel dress and a pair of black high heels.

With the addition of the dress and high heels, she looked even nobler.

The spotless mirror reflected her current appearance. She was pretty, angelic, covered in white, and her legs long and straight. Xyla was everyone's definition of a beautiful woman.

Chapter 1129

Chapter 1129

Two hours later, Stanley Batton held Xyla Quest's hand and walked into his castle-like villa in the suburbs.

By then, Sharon Lindt, Wilson Batton, and Ron Batton were all sitting at the coffee table, drinking tea.

There was a thick, red document holder on the armrest next to Wilson's hand.

Seeing that Xyla had arrived, Sharon instantly waved at Xyla and smiled joyfully. "Xyla... Come here. Let me have a good look at you," Sharon said.

Xyla's appearance was stunningly beautiful to her.

Didn't Xyla look way too good dressed like this? It was not an exaggeration to call Xyla a fairy at all.

The more Sharon looked at her daughter-in-law, the prettier she found her! How could such a good-looking girl exist in the world?

Xyla smiled gently as she slowly walked over to Sharon and sat next to her.

As soon as Xyla sat down, Sharon immediately held her hand and looked at her like a young female fan. "Xyla, you look way too pretty today. Oh, right. Xyla, my darling, have you had lunch?" Sharon asked. Xyla nodded. "Yeah, I have."

"What did you eat? Did Stanley personally cook for you?" Sharon asked.

"Yes," Xyla said.

Sharon smiled satisfactorily. "Hmm... That's good... Just as he should..."

When Xyla heard this, she smiled without saying anything.

Whenever this happened, Xyla couldn't resist suspecting that she was Sharon's biological child. Meanwhile, Stanley was merely an adopted child.

Hearing this, Wilson looked at Stanley seriously. "Xyla works very hard each day. You must make her different types of dishes more frequently, got it?" Stanley nodded and sat right beside Xyla. "Got it. I will."

Wilson nodded satisfactorily. "Hmm, men who don't treat their wives well will end up dead..."

"Agreed! Xyla must be taken care of like a princess!" Ron smiled at Xyla as he spoke.

In this moment, Xyla felt endless joy in her heart.

"Agreed!" Sharon said.

"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, why did you ask us to come home?" Xyla changed the topic and got right down to business.

"It's nothing huge. We just unanimously agree that Stan can handle everything on his own. Hence, we're preparing to hand over the company to Stan completely...

"Stan's father wants to officially retire and hand over the position of president to Stan.

"Apart from that, we would also like to transfer all the shares we own to Stan. As such, the company would completely belong to Stan alone," Ron Batton articulated each word clearly. Xyla was quite surprised by the sudden mention of this.

She knew that although Wilson still held the title of president in the company, most of the affairs in Dragon Group were being managed by Stanley.

However, Stanley only had management rights, but he didn't own many shares in the group. Most of the shares still belonged to Wilson and Ron.

"Of course, to completely acquire the company... Stan must sign a letter of guarantee... Moreover, this letter of guarantee must be signed in front of you. You must be clear about the contents of this letter of guarantee," Ron added.

"What letter of guarantee is this?" Xyla felt very curious. Her eyes were filled with confusion.

Ron didn't say anything. Instead, he slowly retrieved a letter of guarantee from the red document holder next to his hand and handed it to Xyla.

The content that came into sight shocked Xyla. She didn't expect the Batton family to give her a contract like this-

Chapter 1130

Chapter 1130

It was clearly written on the contract that Stanley Batton had to be good to Xyla Quest all his life. He had to dote on her and let her have what she wanted. He couldn't cheat on her, and domestic violence wouldn't be tolerated.

If Stanley either cheated on Xyla or practiced domestic violence, Dragon Group would fall into her hands.

When Xyla saw this letter of guarantee, her eyes instantly turned red.

Every word and sentence written on this letter of guarantee indicated how much the Batton family valued her. They valued even more than they did Stanley.

If they didn't love her significantly, why would they create such a letter of guarantee and make Stanley sign it?

In the next second, Xyla couldn't help but start crying.

She really didn't know what she'd done to deserve so much love from the Batton family.

When Sharon Lindt, Stanley, Wilson Batton, and Ron Batton saw Xyla crying, they instantly panicked.

"Quick... Grab some tissues..." Wilson looked at Stanley and said.

Stanley instantly pulled out a piece of tissue.

Meanwhile, Sharon grabbed the tissue and carefully dabbed Xyla's tears away. "What's the matter, darling? Why are you crying?"

Xyla sniffed. After taking the tissue, she wiped her tears away again. "I am so touched... Why are you all so nice to me?"

Sharon instantly relaxed and smiled. "Why else? We like you."

Xyla sniffed again before quickly placing the letter of guarantee on the coffee table. "This won't be necessary. I believe Stanley will be good to me forever."

"Forever is a long time. Who knows what will happen later? We must get him to sign what is necessary. This is a safety measure for you. Wouldn't you feel safe too?" Sharon immediately said earnestly. Xyla shook her head.

The love Stanley had for her made her feel very safe.

She had never worried about problems like this. She believed that Stanley would grow old with her and never abandon her.

"Stanley, sign it," Sharon said while quickly handing a pen to Stanley.

Stanley leaned forward and decisively signed with his name before using a red ink pad nearby to stamp his fingerprint on the document.

"I will get this letter of guarantee publicly certified. Once it's publicly certified, it will take legal effect. You can keep it safe when the time comes," Wilson said.

Xyla shook her head again. "It's really not necessary. Dad, Mom, Grandpa, I believe in Stanley. Our relationship doesn't require a letter of guarantee like this..."

"Anyway, this matter has been decided... If any one of you disagrees, we won't transfer our shares to Stanley..." Wilson said.

"That's right..." Ron added.

Sharon held Xyla's hand once again. "Alright, darling. This thing has been decided. To be honest, it's not a big deal. It's just a guarantee. You don't have to feel any pressure," she said. Xyla's eyes filled with tears once again from being touched.

She instantly looked at Stanley before turning to face Ron, Sharon, and Wilson. She nodded.

Now that they had made up their mind, Xyla couldn't say anything to refuse them.

Once the document was signed, Stanley handed it over to Ron. "Grandpa, here you go..."

Ron looked satisfactorily at Stanley's signature and fingerprint before nodding. "Okay, very good... You must always remember what you signed today."

Stanley looked affectionately at Xyla next to him. He naturally ruffled her hair. "Yeah. I'll always remember it. I've promised that I won't love another woman in this lifetime other than Xyla," Stanley said affectionately.

Sharon nodded satisfactorily. "Hmm, this is my good son."
