Ch. 1151..1160

Chapter 1151

In the next second, Xyla Quest's heart started beating wildly...

"Honey... I really like the way you look when you're shy." Stanley Batton's smile gradually widened.

"Really?" Xyla asked.

"Yeah. Apart from how you look when you're shy, I also like..." Stanley trailed off.

"What else do you like?" Xyla asked.

"I like you in every way," Stanley said in the most affectionate tone despite his serious facial expression.

At this moment, Xyla felt very touched. "You... Stop speaking, will you?"

"Okay."

"Shut up," Xyla said.

"Alright." Stanley's eyes were filled with affection.

Beep, beep, beep-

Right then, Stanley's phone started ringing.

He immediately glanced at the screen.

When Stanley saw that the call was from the Vice President, Liam Smith, he calmly picked it up.

Xyla felt a little bored. Hence, she walked over to the window and looked out at the night scenery as the cold breeze blew against her.

Although the night scenery of the small city wasn't as busy and crowded as Atlantis, it was very peaceful.

At one glance, there were very few people and cars on the road. It was very calming to watch.

However, since Xyla was used to the large city, she still felt a little not used to the empty streets.

After approximately ten minutes, Stanley's call ended, and he walked up to her from behind.

Immediately after that, Stanley reached out and naturally hugged her in his arms as he gently pressed his chin against her shoulder. His warm breath blew against the back of her ear and neck.

It felt as if countless electric currents were cruising through her body. Suddenly, Xyla felt her heart rate speeding up numbingly.

"Liam gave me a call..." Stanley said.

"What did he say?" Xyla asked.

"He found out all about what happened to us at the jade mine. He said he didn't know that person at all. His wife, Rebecca, only has a very normal relationship with that person's elder sister...

"He didn't give that person the permission to set up a mine here and harvest resources. The person also confessed in the police station that, after arriving here, he started doing all sorts of things using Liam's

name...

"The officers here had all turned a blind eye to what he did because they were concerned with his relationship with Liam.

"Liam has already given the order to punish that man. Rebecca agreed to it too..." Stanley explained.

"Okay..." Xyla replied calmly.

When what happened at the jade mine today was brought up, she felt a little disgusted.

"Liam also apologized to me... He felt very sorry," Stanley added.

"This has nothing to do with him. He's very innocent too..." Xyla said.

When Xyla put himself in Liam's shoes, she felt that he probably wanted to kill that man...

What on earth was going on?

"Yeah... I said that too. He's not to be blamed for this," Stanley said.

Xyla nodded gently...

Beep, beep, beep-

Right then, Xyla's phone started to ring once more.

The content that appeared on her phone screen filled her eyes with shock.

Chapter 1152

Chapter 1152

"Dragon Group's official page is offering lucky draw rewards for sharing Xyla Quest's post..."

Xyla Quest subconsciously looked up at Stanley Batton...

After that, she carefully went through the content on her phone.

This content was published on Weibo's news channel.

In the next second, she quickly tapped on Weibo to have a look. A large paragraph came into sight.

"@Weibo News: A while ago, Dragon Group's official page published a video of Xyla Quest getting her makeover as Pink Misty in the movie. They also shared that they would randomly select a hundred netizens who shared the post, and these people will be rewarded with ten thousand dollars in cash..."

The post that Dragon Group published earlier on Weibo was a screenshot of the lucky draw on Weibo. In the screenshot, there was a video of her getting her makeover. There was a paragraph that came with it. "Starting now! Whoever shares and comments on this Weibo most, as well as offering Xyla a compliment, will have the opportunity to win ten thousand dollars. I'll randomly choose one hundred people!" This video looked like the one Sebastian Brenand sent Stanley Batton the other day.

Xyla Quest looked curiously at Stanley, who sat across her.

However, the tone of the Weibo post didn't sound like it came from Stanley...

If it weren't Stanley, then it'd most likely be Ron Batton, Wilson Batton, or Sharon Lindt...

Xyla felt that it was more likely to be Sharon.

When Xyla thought of this, she quickly opened Dragon Group's official page and looked at the lucky draw published on Weibo.

Although the video was only published ten minutes ago, there had already been over five million shares, likes, and comments.

The level of influence was apparent...

Everyone was going crazy in the comment section-

"D*mn... Stanley Batton really is going all out to dote on his wife... Sharing this. I hope I can be selected... Xyla Quest is the most beautiful person."

"What kind of divine husband is Stanley Batton? Please be nice to me... Stanley, I can't afford to pay my credit card off. Do you get what I mean? Xyla Quest is very pretty!"

"Ahh... I'm feeling dizzy... Amazing. Look at me... Xyla Quest is the most fairy-like person!"

"Xyla Quest is the prettiest woman in the world... I love her!"

"Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton...! Xyla is a fairy in the human world!"

Xyla quickly took a screenshot of the Weibo post and sent it to Sharon on WeChat...

Sharon instantly replied with a laughing emoji.

Xyla instantly understood what she meant. "Did you publish this?"

"Yeah. The more I looked at this video, the more I found you beautiful. I think not letting everyone see it is a shame..." Sharon explained.

"After all, I'm your number one fan..." Sharon said.

"Aren't you spending too much money on this?" Xyla asked.

"This is the first time you're acting in a movie. I ought to publicize it for you, right?" Sharon asked.

"That's still too sudden of you..." Xyla said.

"It's not sudden at all. To be honest, Stan and I have been thinking about publicizing this a long time ago. We came up with a few plans and finally decided on this one..." Sharon said. When Xyla saw this message, she immediately felt warmth in her heart. "Thank you, Mom..."

However, Xyla didn't expect Stanley to be involved too...

Xyla actually didn't know anything about this.

She slowly looked up at Stanley, who was looking down at his phone. "I didn't think you'd actually discuss with Mom how to publicize this for me... To be honest, you didn't have to do it. I'm just a supporting actress..." Xyla said with a smile.

Stanley chuckled. "Did you see the Weibo post? Even if my wife is a supporting actress, I must publicize it."

Xyla was speechless.

At this moment, she felt touched by what Stanley and his mother did yet again.

Chapter 1153

Chapter 1153

Right then, the pretty waitress walked in with a fresh fish on a tray...

She heated the pot and added all the necessary ingredients for cooking the fish into it. After that, she quickly placed the fish in the pot before covering it up with the pot cover that was shaped like a straw hat. After that, the pretty waitress stood nearby and watched over it.

Knowing that there was still a long time until they could eat, Xyla Quest opened Weibo again. She planned to read some current news.

Right then, she saw her name on another hot topic. '#Xyla Quest and her mother-in-law#'...

Xyla couldn't hold back her curiosity. She quickly tapped on it to have a look. It was all about a screenshot published by a marketing account of Dragon Group's reply to a netizen's comment- "Stanley Batton, this idea of yours to promote her is a little too awesome, isn't it?" Little Fishy asked.

"My mother came up with it," Dragon Group responded.

Shifting her gaze downward, Xyla could see netizens commenting excitedly-

"Ahh... Did Stanley's mother come up with this idea? Is she this nice to Xyla?"

"D*mn... I thought mothers-in-law from rich families were all very strict and wouldn't be nice to their daughters-in-law. I was wrong!"

"Xyla's mother-in-law seems to regard her with great importance... Xyla must be doted on in the Batton family, isn't she?"

"Xyla's undoubtedly doted on in the Batton family! Not only does she look good, but she's regarded with great importance by her in-laws, she's successful with her career, and she is the boss of countless good looking celebrities in the country. Who wouldn't want a life like this?"

"Sigh... Who wouldn't want to be Xyla? Right now, what else can I do apart from feeling jealous?"

"What kind of divine mother-in-law is this? Xyla must be the luckiest woman to get married into a rich family like this, right? Who said rich families were difficult to get along with?"

Xyla couldn't help but smile once again when she saw these comments.

The pot with the fish inside was starting to boil. Thick steam began to rise...

Amidst the mist in the air, Xyla's smile seemed unusually warm and therapeutic. Suddenly, Stanley was charmed by her.

***

After dinner, Stanley flew back home with Xyla with his helicopter.

Once the two arrived, they immediately got into the giant bathtub in the bathroom and took a warm, comfortable bath.

Beep, beep, beep, beep-

At noon the next day, Xyla was woken up by the sound of her phone ringing...

She didn't open her eyes. Instead, she fished blindly for her phone before answering it with a sliding motion based on her sense of touch-

"Xyla... I've returned. Come home when you're free. I have something to discuss with you..." Jeremy Quest's voice could be heard.

Xyla instantly felt joyful when she heard this. She immediately became fully awake. "Are you back? That's great... I happen to be at home. Once I get myself cleaned up, I'll come over..." Xyla said. Ever since Emily Quest and May Conner died, Xyla's father had gone away on a trip to recover from everything...

The two had not met for over a month now.

Xyla really did miss him a lot.

"Alright..." Jeremy said.

"Dad, what's the matter? Why do you want to see me?" Xyla asked curiously.

"You'll find out after you come." Jeremy didn't answer her directly.

Xyla didn't press on. She hung up the phone and got out of bed.

After simply cleaning herself up, she casually pulled her hair into a high ponytail. She then put on a white, cotton halter dress and directly drove to the Quest family next door.

Chapter 1154

Chapter 1154

The temperature in the Quest family's house was very low. As soon as Xyla Quest walked through the door, she felt the chilly air against her face.

During a hot summer day, this felt very comfortable.

At this moment, Jeremy Quest was watching the television on the couch with his head lowered. He was wearing black silk loungewear, and his hair was trimmed in an extremely short fashion. It made him look clean and relaxed.

After changing into slippers, Xyla quickly walked over to Jeremy and hugged him. "Dad... You're finally back. I have missed you so much."

When Jeremy heard this, he immediately smiled and patted Xyla softly on her shoulder. "I missed you too, Xyla.

"Come here, baby girl, let me have a good look at you..." While speaking, Jeremy gently pushed Xyla away and carefully examined her face.

Suddenly, his eyes filled with a look of approval. "Hmm... Xyla, you look a lot better recently..."

From the way Jeremy looked, Xyla could tell that he had thoroughly moved on from the grief of May Conner and Emily Quest's deaths... Xyla felt immensely relieved.

She affectionately held his hand. "Dad... I'm really happy to see that you're feeling better now."

"Yeah... Sorry for making you worry back then, Xyla." Jeremy said.

Xyla immediately shook her head. "It's nothing. As your daughter, it's only right that I worry about you.

Jeremy's smile gradually widened. "I see that you've managed Quest Group very well lately. Moreover, you're also thriving in your own business. I'm very happy now.

"My Xyla is really all grown up. She's achieved so much." With that, Jeremy lifted his hand and gently ruffled Xyla's hair. "I'm getting old now, and I don't want to work so hard anymore...

"From today on, I'm prepared to transfer all my shares in Quest Group to you. I want to retire..." Jeremy added.

Hearing this, Xyla's eyes were instantly filled with shock.

She knew that her father would, one day, hand over the company to her, but she didn't think it would be this soon...

"To be honest, I've been away from home during this period partially to recover by traveling. Apart from that, I also wanted to test you...

"I wanted to see how the company would end up under your management while I was completely away.

"I'm delighted with the outcome. You've managed Quest Group very well. In fact, you've done just as well as I did. The high-level executives in the company all praised you endlessly. "Apart from that, I also see that you're managing X Entertainment very well. Apart from King Entertainment, X Entertainment is the best in the country.

"Combining all these factors, I think I can safely hand over everything to you," Jeremy enunciated each word.

He indeed was delighted with his daughter.

Jeremy believed that there wasn't a more capable and perfect daughter in the world than Xyla.

Moreover, he was most surprised that, despite her success with X Entertainment, she kept a low profile. From the beginning to the end, she never once showed anything off... Jeremy once asked her about it after finding out about her company through the national news. Xyla's reason was that she wanted to keep a low profile.

Sometimes, seeing all the achievements Xyla accomplished along the way, Jeremy frequently wondered how she managed to carry all that burden with that tiny body of hers. When Xyla heard this, she slowly nodded and looked at Jeremy gently. "Since you and the high-level executives all think I'm capable, I'll certainly do my best." Xyla was confident that she could make Quest Group even better...

Jeremy patted her gently on the shoulder. "Hmm. I believe in you. From now on, Quest Group belongs to you. You can manage it in any way you like. I'll definitely not interfere..."

Chapter 1155

Chapter 1155

"Of course, if there's anything you don't understand, you always can ask me about it," Jeremy Quest added.

"Alright," Xyla Quest said.

"Have a look at the stuff inside this document holder and sign it... Once you sign it, the company and all my shares belong to you..." Jeremy said.

After saying that, Jeremy picked up a white document folder on the coffee table and handed it over to Xyla.

Xyla took the document folder and carefully went through its contents. Apart from a share transfer contract, there were also other messy documents inside.

Without going through the contents in detail, Xyla directly picked up a black pen and signed her name on each document.

When Jeremy saw that Xyla was signing the final document, he let out a long sigh of relief as if he had been released from a great burden. "Awesome... After fighting hard for the greater half of my life, I can finally retire now."

Xyla quickly signed her name on the last document before handing it over to Jeremy. "From now on, I'll protect the legacy you've created... I swear I'll make Quest Group improve even more within two years... Jeremy nodded satisfactorily. "Alright. I'll believe anything you say, Xyla."

"I see that your in-laws and your husband are all treating you well. You must appreciate them, understood?" Jeremy added after that.

Xyla nodded again. "Yeah, I know... Don't worry. After retiring, you can go and travel all you want. I'll take care of my love life and the business."

"Okay... I'll get the company to share the news that you've officially taken over later..." Jeremy said.

"Okay," Xyla said.

"Also, I've already asked someone to pack up my things in the office. That will belong to you from now on... I've also asked people to move your stuff into the room..." Jeremy added. "Okay," Xyla said.

"Oh, right. I want to hold a formal ceremony for you... I wonder, what do you think about announcing this matter?" Jeremy asked.

Xyla instantly shook her head. "This won't be necessary. You know I don't like all this."

Jeremy nodded when he heard this. Since she didn't like it, he wouldn't force it upon her.

At this moment, Xyla felt an even greater sense of burden had been placed on her.

However, she had the confidence to overcome it. She also needed to overcome it.

A grand career roadmap appeared before her eyes once again...

***

After walking out the door, Xyla got into her red Maserati while being protected by a group of bodyguards, who waited by the door for her.

Xyla didn't leave right away. Instead, she first gave Stanley a call to tell him about the good news.

After making the call, she drove over to Quest Group.

As soon as she walked into the company, she saw many employees waiting for her in the lobby...

Everyone stood neatly in twenty rows with serious and nervous looks on their faces.

The entire lobby was fully occupied...

When Xyla saw this, she immediately looked shocked.

In the next second, all the employees bowed their heads in unison and called out at the same time, "Welcome, President!"

Chapter 1156

Chapter 1156

The massive formation and loud voices made Xyla Quest appear even more shocked.

After being stunned for a second, Xyla finally became calm again. She looked at everyone and smiled. "Thank you, everyone... Alright, let's get back to work... I'll buy everyone dinner tonight. Managers from each department, make the necessary arrangements and claim your expenses from me afterward..."

"Thank you, President!" All the employees shouted in unison.

"You're welcome. I hope everyone will work hard with me from now on to make the company better... Alright, everyone, let's all get back to work." Even when she faced up to ten thousand employees, she was still calm and composed.

After saying that, Xyla quickly walked into the elevator...

Her bodyguards followed close behind her.

She took her private elevator to the president's office...

After pushing through the door, the world inside still looked the same as before, clean and tidy.

This office was twice as big as her original office. The view was also much broader. From here, it felt as if she had the entire city beneath her feet.

After looking around, Xyla strolled back to the president's chair and sat down.

She turned on her computer. Just as she was about to start working, her phone started to ring...

It was a call from Georgie Clementine.

Xyla quickly picked up. "What's up, Georgie?"

"I heard that Uncle officially handed the company over to you. Is that true?" Georgie asked.

When Xyla heard this, her smile gradually widened. "Yeah... Did Quest Group's official page already share the news?"

If the official page hadn't shared it, Georgie wouldn't have been able to find out so quickly...

"Of course... Go and have a look. Weibo is going crazy. Everyone's saying something," Georgie said.

"Hmm, okay..." Xyla said.

"President Xyla... Congratulations, honestly..." Georgie said.

"Thank you..." Xyla said.

"I wanted to ask you out for a celebration, but I've already made an appointment with Director Garry Herrman to discuss some things. Let's do it tomorrow," Georgie said.

"Director Herrman is preparing to film a movie about pure romance. It's going to be a huge movie. The lineup of actors is excellent. I want Josh to get the role. I think that movie really suits Josh," Georgie added.

"Okay..." Xyla smiled a little.

After a brief chat, Xyla opened Weibo and casually looked at the list of hot topics.

By then, her name was on the second hot topic on the list. '#Xyla Quest officially takes over Quest Group# Explosive'.

Meanwhile, the hot topic above her was about Josh Batton-

Number one, '#Josh Batton's show at the airport# Explosive'.

Seeing this, Xyla instantly clicked on her hot topic to have a look...

At the top of the topic, there was a post Quest Group had published five minutes ago. It announced on Weibo that Xyla had officially taken over Quest Group as its new president.

Below the Weibo post, the number of shares, likes, and comments had already exceeded a million-

"D*rn. Xyla Quest is amazing. I believe Xyla will manage Quest Group very well."

"I heard that Xyla is unusually talented. I think she'll do well."

"I also think Xyla will do well. This girl is as hard-working as she is good-looking. She's definitely not just a good-looking girl." "Ahh... She's pretty, rich, loved by her husband and mother-in-law, and she's capable. Is there anyone more excellent than her?"

"I strongly suggest Xyla publish a book titled 'How to walk on the path to glory'..."

"I love women who are as capable as they are pretty. I highly suggest that Xyla participates in more shows..."

When Xyla saw these comments, she subconsciously began smiling vaguely. There was a glimmer in her eyes as she smiled.

Chapter 1157

Chapter 1157

When Xyla Quest smiled, her intricate face looked unusually gentle.

She was fairy-like and beautiful.

Knock, knock, knock-

Right then, someone knocked on the door.

Xyla slowly shifted her gaze to the door. There wasn't any emotion in her eyes. "Please come in..."

Soon, the door opened.

A beautiful lady wearing a high-waisted skirt and a white shirt walked in...

The beautiful lady had short, black hair. She also had very intricate makeup. There was a look of confidence in her eyes.

This was Jeremy Quest's assistant, Narda Verula.

Narda's capability was even more exceptional than her looks. Xyla knew this better than anyone else.

All these years, with Narda by her father's side, many impossible things were executed perfectly without fault.

Everyone in the company acknowledged this person's capabilities. Narda was the most capable woman aside from Xyla.

"Ms. Verula." Xyla smiled as she stood up and looked at Narda.

Narda smiled slightly with her red lips before walking up to Xyla. Every step she took looked elegant.

"Congratulations..." Narda's smile was friendly yet elegant.

"Thank you..." Xyla said.

"I came here to take over some work on behalf of the ex-president..." Narda said.

"Alright..." Xyla was still smiling gently.

***

Late at night, after discussing some matters with Garry Herrman, Georgie Clementine walked out from No. 3 Royal Hotel, swaying quite a lot.

Right then, she had her hair pulled back into a bun on one side. Her makeup was intricate, and she was wearing a white, dry-fit dress with a pair of silver high heels. After having drunk a little more alcohol in the evening, her face was vividly flushed. At one glance, she was attractive in every way.

The men around her subconsciously shifted their gazes to her body.

Right then, Henry Armstrong stumbled out of the hotel with a group of rich friends...

Henry walked in the forefront, and he was red in the face.

The people behind him looked equally red in the face.

"Say... Mr. Armstrong, where do we go next?" A rich, blond man looked at Henry and asked.

After saying that, the rich guy unknowingly looked at Georgie, who was swaying from side to side as she walked to the parking lot.

Even if he was just looking at her from behind, he was instantly mesmerized.

He instantly came to a halt and naturally placed one arm over Henry's shoulder before lifting his chin in Georgie's direction. "That chick looks pretty good..."

"I'm not interested..." Henry didn't look over at the direction the blond man was looking. Instead, Henry came to a halt and took out his Mercedes-Benz keys from his pocket. He pressed it, pointing at his black Mercedes-Benz G63...

"No way. Why are you acting like a monk now? What happened to you? Are you ill?" the rich guy asked.

"You're f*cking ill. Your entire family is ill..." Henry cursed.

"Since you aren't interested... I'm going to try my luck..." The man said before walking toward Georgie.

Henry unintentionally turned around and saw a familiar figure.

Suddenly, his face directly turned cold.

"Sh*t!" Henry cursed under his breath.

As soon as Henry said that, he saw his rich friend gently tapping on Georgie's shoulder.

Meanwhile, Georgie had also stopped walking. With a cold frown on her face, she turned around and looked at the rich guy's face.

Chapter 1158

Chapter 1158

When a random stranger touched Georgie Clementine's shoulder, she had an annoyed expression on her face. "Who are you?"

As soon as the rich blonde guy saw Georgie's face from the front, he was a little stunned...

He found her familiar, but he couldn't recall where he met her before...

"Haven't I seen you somewhere before?" the rich blond guy asked.

Georgie's frown deepened. "Can't you think of a better pick-up line?"

The man in front of Georgie was wearing branded clothes from head to toe. He reeked of alcohol, and he had a flamboyant expression on his face. Georgie could immediately tell that he was a womanizer who was up to no good.

She couldn't be bothered to speak with him.

As soon as Georgie looked up, she saw Henry Armstrong with a dark expression on his face as he walked over to them.

Meanwhile, there was a large group of young men wearing branded clothes behind him.

Georgie didn't think she'd bump into Henry here coincidentally.

Before Georgie could speak, Henry directly walked up to the rich blond guy from behind. Without saying anything, Henry lifted his leg and mercilessly kicked him in the buttocks. In the next second, the rich blond guy was sent flying a meter away.

After that, he fell to the ground hard.

When the group of rich guys behind Henry saw this, they couldn't resist laughing.

"What the hell... Who did that? How dare you kick me?" The rich blond guy quickly rubbed his buttocks as he cursed out loud and stood up. He looked in Henry's direction. When he saw that it was Henry, he became petrified...

"Henry... Why did you do that to me?" The rich blond guy stammered as he continued to rub his buttocks.

"How dare you flirt with my woman? I think you have a death wish..." Henry said coldly. His tone was domineering and possessive.

At that moment, Georgie felt mesmerized by Henry once again.

As soon as the rich blond guy heard what Henry said, he immediately recalled it!

Wasn't this woman before him the one Henry openly confessed to previously?

Based on what he heard, Henry couldn't get her at all. He thought things had ended between them. However, did something else happen after? Did Henry actually not give up? From the looks of it, Henry hadn't gotten close to any other woman recently. He was able to rationalize this then.

It looked like it wasn't because Henry was ill. Instead, it was because he had someone in his heart.

After that, Henry extended his arm and naturally wrapped it around Georgie's shoulders. He carefully studied her face. "Honey... Did you drink?" he asked gently.

After saying that, Henry lowered his head and sniffed around her neck.

As soon as he got close, the strong stench of alcohol washed over Georgie.

Georgie took a step back out of discomfort. After that, she indifferently pushed Henry's hand away. "Who's your 'honey'?"

Georgie had been thinking about what Xyla Quest told her previously.

In the end, she made up her mind. She wanted to give Henry a chance, but now wasn't the time...

Georgie still wanted to test Henry out for a while.

She wanted to see if he genuinely only wanted to be with her.

Hence, for now, she didn't want to respond too warmly to Henry.

However, Henry stopped being forceful like how he was earlier. He continued trying to speak nicely to her. "You... You'll eventually be..."

Chapter 1159

Chapter 1159

When the rich blond guy saw this scene unfold, his petrified state worsened. He looked as if he had seen a ghost.

Meanwhile, the group of rich guys behind them appeared to be in the same state.

None of them could believe their eyes.

Georgie Clementine directly rolled her eyes at them. "I'm not going to speak nonsense with you. I've had too much to drink. I'm going home."

However, Henry Armstrong didn't seem intent on letting her leave. "A girl like you shouldn't drink so much next time, understood?" Henry kept tugging at her sleeve as he reminded her.

"Sometimes, when discussing stuff about work, drinking alcohol is necessary..." Georgie said blandly. "Anyway, I know myself well."

"Can't you just tell me what business you're up to? As long as you say it, I can get it done for you in any minute..." Henry said.

"You're not significant to me. I won't tell you..." Georgie said.

After that, Georgie turned around and left.

However, Henry directly reached out and pulled her back to him before placing his hands on her shoulders. "To be honest, we don't have to be in a relationship for me to do things for you... Even with us being like this, I'm still very willing to help you...

"Honestly, you can be like other girls and make use of me as much as you want... You can do anything you want, as long as you don't ignore me," Henry said patiently and softly. He had a sincere look in his eyes.

His words made Georgie feel moved once again.

To be honest, she was a little touched.

However, even so, she still maintained her calm composure. "But I don't want to use you," she said.

"But I do... Please use me. Come to me whenever you need anything. My woman can get whatever she wants without having to drink alcohol like this," Henry said.

"Who's your woman?" Georgie asked.

"You... In my heart, you are my woman," Henry said.

The rich blond guy next to the two of them could overhear what they were saying clearly.

His petrified state became even worse. In fact, he was beginning to feel doubtful about life.

Meanwhile, the rich guys behind Henry felt the same way. They began discussing among themselves softly-

"Can you guys tell me if this gentleman in front of us really is Henry Armstrong?"

"D*mn... I feel like I've seen a ghost..."

"Is that girl the one he pursued previously? Is her name Georgie or something?"

"Sh*t... Didn't he fail to get her? Why hasn't he given up?"

"I think Henry is serious this time! That's why he's been acting like a monk. Was he saving himself for this woman?"

"Did he really not give up? Oh my god... It's true love this time..."

However, Henry completely ignored them. He kept his eyes on Georgie.

Meanwhile, these words were engraved within Georgie's mind.

She instantly felt a warmth in her heart.

However, she didn't continue speaking with Henry. She directly pushed him away and turned to face his white Maserati before pressing on her key's button. Beep, beep-

After two beeping sounds, the car was instantly unlocked.

Georgie started walking to her car. However, as soon as she took two steps forward, she felt her knees turning weak.

In the next second, she directly fell against Henry's body.

After that, Henry naturally opened his arms wide and held her tightly in his embrace. He looked down at her playfully. "What's the matter? Do you suddenly not want to leave? Is that why? Why did you dive into my arms?"

Georgie's body was very soft. Her hair kept rubbing against the skin on his chest. In an instant, Henry felt a flame ignited in his body...

Chapter 1160

Chapter 1160

Since realizing his deep love for Georgie Clementine, Henry Armstrong hadn't touched another girl.

It had been a long time since he'd had sex. He found it awful.

Now, because her hair was ruffling against him, his heart was beating even more wildly.

However, Henry didn't dare to show anything. He could only force himself to suppress his desire as he continued to hold Georgie.

Georgie struggled to push him away, and she continued trying to step forward.

However, after taking a few steps, her legs started to feel weak again...

She fell into Henry's arms again.

With Georgie's warm and soft body in his arms, Henry's heart went completely chaotic. The temperature of the blood flowing in his veins seemed to be skyrocketing. He felt as if he would soon be engulfed.

In the next second, Henry could feel his heart pounding rapidly.

At this moment, it felt as if he was a young kid who was experiencing love for the first time. He was nervous, and his blood was boiling!

Each time he faced Georgie, he would more or less feel like this.

However, at this moment, this feeling became even more apparent!

However, Georgie had no idea about Henry's reaction now. She struggled once again to get out of Henry's embrace, but she noticed she couldn't.

Her weakness seemed to be caused by the strong alcohol she drank earlier.

Now that she had come out of the buiding, and the wind was blowing against her, she felt even dizzier with the alcohol in her system. It caused her to feel terrible all over...

When Henry saw the state she was in, he immediately knew what was happening to her.

Without saying another word, Henry directly carried Georgie in his arms.

The way he was carrying her like a princess instantly made her heart race. She blushed.

However, since she was drunk, Henry perceived the minor changes in her as being caused by alcohol...

"Look at you. You can't even stand properly. How can I let you leave on your own without being worried? Hmm?" Henry said.

His warm breath repeatedly blew against the top of her head. It made her feel some tingles...

It felt as if there was a continuous flow of electricity in her body. Her heart rate kept increasing.

Perhaps it was because the moon was too beautiful tonight, but Henry looked way too gentle tonight. Or, perhaps, it was because she was drunk. She found Henry even more mesmerizing than before... Could it also be because she had let her guard down against Henry? Was that why she was feeling this way?

Georgie didn't understand why either...

"It's okay. Put me down..." Georgie acted tough.

"Don't act tough anymore. Get into my car..." Henry said.

After saying that, Henry also stumbled a little...

Georgie frowned slightly. "Do you still want to drive in this state? Do you want me to die with you?"

Henry placed his hand against his forehead. "I can get a taxi."

"I can do it too," Georgie said.

When Henry heard this, he immediately chuckled before moving close to her ear. "Really? Can you do it well?" he asked softly.

Georgie frowned a little. "Why not? I can do it very well..."

Henry chuckled softly again. "Is that so? Why don't we try doing it some other day?"

Only then did Georgie realize what he was saying. She immediately blushed.

This fellow!

Was he flirting with her? Did he ask her if she could do it well? She didn't even realize that was what the question was about! She said that she could do 'it' well!

"Henry Armstrong!" Georgie yelled softly through gritted teeth.

Henry immediately forced himself to stop smiling. "Yes!" He said seriously.

"Be a little more serious..." Georgie said.

"Being a little more serious... I don't feel safe letting you, a drunk woman, go home on your own. I want to send you home... What's the matter? Are you afraid that I might take advantage of you?"

Before Georgie could speak, Henry walked dominantly over to his car and shoved her into the backseat. After that, he pressed a button on his key and directly locked the car from the outside. He wasn't allowing Georgie to get out of the car at all.
