Ch. 1161..1170

Chapter 1161

Seeing how determined Henry Armstrong was, Georgie Clementine didn't continue resisting anymore.

She knew Henry very well. Although he used to be playful and liked fooling around, he was a man of principle. He'd never take advantage of another person while they were weak. Hence, Georgie wasn't worried about this at all...

Soon, Henry quickly got into the car from the other side. He sat next to her and called for a taxi on his phone.

When the rich guys outside saw such a scene, they all knowingly left...

As soon as Henry got into the car, the stench of alcohol grew ever stronger inside.

The mixed scents from both their bodies made Georgie feel extremely horrible...

Her head was spinning even more severely.

Soon, Georgie unknowingly fell asleep...

***

When Georgie opened her eyes the following day, a luxurious, baroque-style room came into sight.

The primary colors in the room were gray and white. It looked very classy and elegant.

Seeing the unfamiliar environment before her, Georgie's heart instantly clenched. She quickly tried to recall what happened last night.

Georgie thought that she probably fell asleep. That was why Henry brought her here.

When she thought of this, she subconsciously touched her body.

However, as soon as she felt the touch of her hand, she was shocked.

She could feel nothing but flesh wherever her hand landed. Her body wasn't covered by any cloth at all!

Georgie felt her head exploding with a loud buzz!

Did Henry do something to her?

After moving her body slightly, she soon began to feel a strong ache spreading from her waist...

This feeling increasingly made Georgie feel certain that Henry must have done that thing to her.

Georgie immediately became furious!

D*rn it!

She shouldn't have trusted him that much!

What kind of a man would take advantage of a drunk woman?

At this moment, she had a negative impression of Henry in her heart.

Would she still consider giving someone like this an opportunity?

No way! He was a despicable man!

Knock, knock, knock-

Right then, someone started knocking on the door...

When Georgie heard this sound, she felt even more annoyed...

They had already slept together last night. Why was he still knocking on the door! How full of pretense! Why was he still putting up an act?

This fake gentleman!

Knock, knock, knock-

The knocking sound carried on...

Each knock made Georgie feel even angrier!

When Georgie saw a white bathrobe nearby, she instantly got up and put it on before opening the door.

Outside, Henry was resting one hand against the doorframe while he smiled and lazily waved at her. "Honey... Good morning... Get cleaned up and come out for breakfast," he said.

Henry was wearing a white shirt and a black tie, coupled with long, gray pants. He looked very clean and fresh.

Henry seemed to have an expression of ease and neutrality on his face. He didn't seem the least bit guilty.

Georgie felt angry for no reason.

Her expression suddenly became even colder. She instantly kicked him in between his legs. "Say... Henry Armstrong, how could you be like this? How could you take advantage of me while I was drunk? Why are you so shameless? I have misjudged you!"

When Henry heard this, he was dumbfounded...

Chapter 1162

Chapter 1162

As the intense pain spread through Henry Armstrong, he felt horrible in his entire body.

He subconsciously took a step back and placed both hands in front of him while he looked sadly at Georgie Clementine. "Honey, what are you doing? Why are you treating me like this?" However, in the next second, he came to his senses.

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? If you didn't touch me, why does my waist hurt so much?" Georgie was mad for no reason.

Was he refusing to admit what he did?

Was he too much of a coward to admit it?

Seeing Georgie like this instantly made Henry feel tickled...

Did an aching waist mean he touched her? Why did she not have any common sense?

Could she not have experienced these things at all?

When Henry thought of this, his good impression toward Georgie started improving even more.

There weren't many ladies like her these days.

"You shameless man. I'm warning you. Just because you had sex with me doesn't mean you can get me.

"I initially wanted to give you a chance. Now, it looks like I don't have to anymore! You obnoxious jerk. Just you wait. You'll go to prison for this!" Georgie was truly annoyed with this shameless man. She looked at Henry and started yelling at him through gritted teeth once more.

Since she had just woken up, she wasn't too alert yet, and her hair was a little messy too.

The way she looked, coupled with the angered state she was in, was incredibly adorable and hilarious to Henry...

"Pfft..." Henry couldn't resist laughing out loud...

Even if he hurt a lot down there, he still couldn't stop himself from laughing...

Georgie instantly became furious for no reason. Was this culprit laughing?

In the next second, Georgie started attacking his crotch yet again.

Henry instantly dodged her attack. This time, Georgie failed.

Henry quickly walked over to the bed and covered his lower body with the duvet while looking at Georgie nervously. "I didn't touch you... Listen to me... Last night, you fell asleep in my car. I couldn't wake you up no matter what. Also, you kept murmuring stuff in your sleep.

"I didn't have any choice but to take you home. Who knew you'd vomit all over yourself as soon as you walked through the door? You also vomited all over me...

"Left without a choice, I called the part-time maid to come over and change your clothes for you. If you don't believe me, you can call the part-time maid," Henry said.

After saying that, Henry carefully put his hand in his pocket to retrieve his phone. He carefully handed it over to Georgie...

Georgie felt completely unfamiliar with the story he told her. She didn't recall any of it happening...

She immediately took the phone. "The part-time mad could be lying with you too..." She said.

Henry sighed helplessly. "There's a surveillance camera in my living room. After you vomited in the living room, I helped you over to the couch.

"After that, I looked for stuff to clean up the dirty stuff on your body. Then, I called the part-time maid...

"Afterward, I went upstairs on my own to take a shower. Once the part-time maid arrived, we carried you to the bathtub in this room. Then, I left, and I never came up again...

"You can check the surveillance footage from the walkway to verify this. Look at the time I carried you into your room and the time I left... Then, check if I've entered this room throughout the night..." The more Henry said, the worse he felt.

He had brought her home out of kindness, and he didn't even dare to overstep any boundaries.

However, she had misunderstood him! She even kicked him...

Although he felt bad, he wasn't angry at all...

Chapter 1163

Chapter 1163

It seemed like, regardless of what Georgie Clementine did to Henry Armstrong, he wouldn't get mad. In fact, he even found her adorable. "D*mn! I'm such a sl*t!" Henry couldn't resist cursing at himself in his heart.

Georgie took a deep look at Henry. After that, she tried to unlock his phone. However, she discovered it was locked with a passcode.

She instantly frowned a little while she looked at him. "Passcode..."

"It's your birthdate..." Henry said helplessly before directly sitting on the bed.

When Georgie heard this, she felt genuinely shocked.

She didn't think Henry would use her birthday as his phone's passcode...

After entering the passcode, the phone was very quickly unlocked.

"The first line in the call history is the part-time maid's number... You can call her yourself," Henry added.

Georgie directly opened the call history and dialed the part-time maid's phone number. She asked about what happened the night before.

The part-time maid immediately told her everything.

It was exactly as Henry had explained...

Slowly, Georgie's concerns began to dissipate entirely.

After making the call, Georgie's facial expression was also starting to relax.

Thinking about how she had vomited all over Henry last night, she felt a little embarrassed.

After that, she thought about what she just did to Henry, and she felt even more embarrassed...

After coughing awkwardly, Georgie carefully put the phone on the bed. "Sorry... I didn't think it would be like this."

"What else can I do but to forgive you?" Henry said helplessly.

Georgie immediately felt a warmth in her heart. "In that case, how are you doing?" She had a guilty expression on her face. Henry instantly pretended to be suffering from intense pain. "Ahh... It's no good..."

He was just teasing her, and there wasn't any other reason for it...

Georgie immediately walked over to Henry. "Does it still hurt a lot? Should I take you to the hospital?" she asked frantically.

Capturing the look of panic in Georgie's eyes, Henry instantly felt warmth in his heart.

Right after that, he faked a more severe expression on his face. "I think... You might have destroyed my manhood... Georgie, what are you prepared to do?"

Looking at Henry's facial expression, Georgie thought that he was in pain. Moreover, it didn't look like he was faking it at all.

"Sorry... Let's get to the hospital..." Georgie seemed even more guilty.

After that, she carefully helped Henry to get up. She disregarded everything else as she held his arm and prepared to bring him outside.

However, Henry didn't follow her. Instead, he sat back on the bed and extended his hand to pull her onto his lap. He hugged her tightly with both hands. There was an affectionate look in his eyes. "Are you that worried about me?"

The romantic behavior instantly made Georgie's heart tighten...

She subconsciously turned around to look at Henry's face.

By then, there wasn't a hint of pain on his face.

Georgie was certain that Henry was pretending earlier.

She became angry again. "Henry Armstrong!" she yelled.

However, Henry started laughing. He continued to hold her tightly in the same posture.

Georgie struggled to get up, but she couldn't do so at all....

 

Chapter 1164

Chapter 1164

"Did you realize what you said earlier by accident?" Henry Armstrong smiled as he looked at Georgie. His eyes were full of affection and gentleness. Georgie Clementine frowned slightly at him. "What?" she asked blandly.

After saying that, she started struggling again.

However, it didn't help.

There was still a huge gap between her and Henry's level of strength.

Moreover, the scariest part was that, because she kept struggling and rubbing against him, he seemed to be...

Sensing his erection, Georgie's body instantly shuddered. She didn't even dare to make a sound.

Henry's breathing began to deepen. With her warm and soft body in her arms, his heart started beating wildly once again.

An indescribable flame suddenly caused his blood to boil.

"Believe it or not, if you keep moving, I'll do it to you. Hmm?" Henry's tone started turning affectionate, and so was his gaze.

When Georgie heard this, she settled down. Her face was turning redder, and her heart was beating faster. "You... Let go of me..."

"You said... You've been thinking about giving me a chance recently. Was it true?" Henry asked.

Once this topic was brought up, Henry's eyes became even more lively.

As soon as he said this, Georgie immediately recalled how she spoke without thinking it through.

Suddenly, she felt immensely awkward. "That... That was a slip of the tongue... A slip of the tongue..."

"I won't believe you... Tell me. Did I move you? Hmm? Is that why you thought about testing me and giving me an opportunity. Hmm?" Henry asked.

With her mind being read, Georgie's heart immediately clenched. "No... Not at all."

Henry chuckled softly. "Since that's not the case, why are you stammering?"

Georgie instantly became speechless after hearing what Henry said.

Georgie frowned slightly as she glared at Henry. "Shut up... I was born with a stammer. Do you have a problem with that?"

Henry chuckled again. "Hmm, okay. I happen to like someone who stammers a little."

Georgie was speechless.

At this moment, her heart rate was beating out of control.

"I think I have already proven my character based on my behavior last night, haven't I? Also, I've made various changes for you recently. You should've sensed my changes, right? Hence, can you shorten the period of your test?" Henry added.

Henry's tone was cautious. There was a curious gaze in his eyes.

He used to be a womanizer who was surrounded by women and wealth.

Although Henry had experienced being with many women, he'd never felt like he wanted to be with someone and grow old with her this much.

He always thought that someone like himself would never have the heart to do so in the past.

He also proclaimed that there wasn't a single woman in the world who could control him.

But now, he realized that he had put himself to shame.

Not only did he fall for Georgie, but he was even begging Georgie to control him.

In fact, he would even question himself like a worrisome wife. 'If I do this, would Georgie not like it? What do I do then? If I do that, would Georgie hate me? What do I do?'

Henry felt that he no longer knew himself.

Georgie thought about it seriously for a moment. "About that... Let's see..."

She felt that she still needed to observe him.

She couldn't agree with him right away.

After all, this man had a history of being a womanizer...

When Henry heard this, he touched his forehead helplessly. "No... Boss, do you still need to observe? How many months have I gone after you? Do you know what would happen to normal women if they did this to me?"

"What would happen?" Georgie asked indifferently.

"Never mind letting me go after them for such a long time, or using domestic violence against me, if they so much as said no to me, I would completely ignore them," Henry said.

Chapter 1165

Chapter 1165

Georgie Clementine couldn't resist rolling her eyes at Henry Armstrong. "In that case, you can go and look for other women..." She said. Henry let out a long, helpless sigh. "If I could easily fall in love with someone else, would I still beg you like this every day? Darling..."

Georgie felt moved again by his words.

These things he was saying, combined with his behavior last night, as well as the things Xyla Quest said previously...

After a while, Georgie's impression of Henry improved yet again...

However, she still didn't dare to confirm her relationship with Henry so soon.

After all, Henry had a history of fooling around.

Georgie needed to wait a little longer...

Henry gently moved closer to her ear. "Georgie, be with me. I'll give you all of me, including my life. Alright?" he asked seriously in an affectionate, deep voice. Georgie felt tingles in her body after hearing this.

This was the most touching and romantic line in the world.

"Give me a little more time..." Georgie said.

However, Georgie still wanted to observe a little longer. She didn't want to be fooled by his sweet talk.

"Alright... I understand. After all, I know very well how I behaved in the past..." Henry said.

"Georgie, is this me getting hit by karma?" Henry laughed bitterly.

"What do you mean?" Georgie had a confused look in her eyes.

"I feel that meeting you is my karma for being a womanizer. Everything involves karma, and my karma happens to be you," Henry said.

When Georgie heard this, she couldn't resist laughing a little. "Let go of me..."

"Georgie, with you in my arms, I think you're heavy," Henry said.

The thing girls hated the most was when people said they were heavy.

Georgie instantly became upset. "Henry Armstrong... Do you even know how to say the right things?"

"Do you know why I said you're heavy?" Henry asked.

"If you don't know how to hold a conversation, stop talking, will you?" Georgie said.

"That's because you're my entire world. How could the entire world not feel heavy in my arms?" Henry said.

Georgie instantly felt tingles in the depths of her heart when she heard this.

It was as if her heart had been zapped by electricity, and there was a numbing sensation.

Although these were tacky things to say, they sounded rather pleasant...

Although Georgie liked hearing it, she still complained on the surface. "What tacky line is this?"

"Hehe... Shall we go out and eat?" Henry asked.

"Let me go, and I'll go out and eat..." Georgie said.

"Okay... In that case, get cleaned up. I'll wait for you outside. I made breakfast today..." Henry said.

Georgie felt speechless.

She instantly wasn't looking forward to breakfast anymore.

Could Henry even cook anything delicious?

When Georgie's gaze unintentionally landed upon Henry's palm, she saw a huge blister.

When Georgie saw this, she instantly tugged his hand over. "You... What happened?"

The blister looked like it had just happened due to the skin being burned. The area around it was red and swollen.

"Oh... It's nothing. It's just an accidental burn when I was frying eggs," Henry said.

Georgie felt a warmth in her heart. "You haven't cooked before, have you?" she asked. "No... It was my first time cooking today... For you," Henry said.

Chapter 1166

Chapter 1166

It was very hard to imagine that a young master like Henry Armstrong, who'd never cooked before, would be willing to try cooking for Georgie Clementine. Georgie was now slowly able to picture Henry clumsily holding a spatula and a pan while he fried eggs.

In her mind, his clumsy appearance was even a little adorable.

"Do you have anything like burn cream in the house?" Georgie asked calmly.

"Yeah... But I heard there's a very effective way to treat a burn," Henry said.

"What is it?" Georgie asked.

"That's... Getting the woman one loves to kiss it," Henry said.

Georgie didn't say anything.

This fellow couldn't stay serious for more than two seconds. Georgie was feeling a little speechless. "Are you completely shameless?"

After saying that, Georgie couldn't resist rolling her eyes at Henry again.

However, Henry started to laugh-

After that, he ruffled her hair affectionately. "Georgie... Tell me, why are you so pretty? Hmm?"

Georgie remained silent..

"Tell me, why do I love you so much? Hmm?" Henry asked.

"Cut the nonsense. Hurry up and get me the burn cream," Georgie said.

She sounded firm, and she wouldn't take no for an answer.

Even in the face of the incomparably noble Henry, she was still proud and cold, the perfect example of a tough woman.

This was what Henry liked about her.

Her personality was very attractive.

"Hurry up. Do you hear me?" Georgie ordered coldly.

Henry nodded obediently. After that, he gently put Georgie down. He then directly stood up, opened the nightstand drawer before taking out the burn cream and a cotton bud, and then handed them over to Georgie.

Georgie gently patted on the spot next to her. "Sit down!" she said.

Henry obediently sat down.

Georgie then quickly used the cotton bud to smear a thick layer of white cream out.

After that, she carefully held Sebastian's hand and smeared cream on the burned spot little by little...

To avoid hurting him, she blew air against his hand as she swabbed it.

She seemed intensely focused, and it was evident that she took it seriously from the look in her eyes.

When Henry saw that, he subconsciously smiled...

He realized that happiness was actually very simple.

Just sitting like this with the person he loved and watching her while she applied the cream on his wound was enough to make him happy.

After applying the cream, Georgie gave Henry a serious reminder. "Wait for the blister to recover on its own. I won't break it now. Since it's a hot summer day, and you still have this thing on your hand, it's easy to get infected if it's not dealt with properly..."

Henry nodded obediently.

Georgie didn't say anything else. She calmly looked at him before walking into the bathroom.

***

After cleaning up, Georgie went downstairs...

By then, there was a scent of something burning in the living room.

Georgie increasingly felt that she probably wouldn't be able to have breakfast at home today.

It smelled like Henry had fried the entire kitchen.

Shaking her head helplessly, Georgie quickly followed the scent into the kitchen.

Inside the kitchen, there was now a huge mess. It was almost as if a battle had taken place.

A thick, burned smell filled the air.

Two pans had been badly burned.

There were also many black bowls in the huge sink.

Meanwhile, there was water all over the floor.

All sorts of stuff were casually discarded in the rubbish bin.

There were burned eggs and two-thirds of burned toasts.

Chapter 1167

Chapter 1167

In fact, there were even burned prawns...

Georgie Clementine was speechless.

This truly was the first time in her life she'd seen a scene like this.

Right then, Henry Armstrong walked over.

When he saw this scene, he instantly coughed awkwardly. After that, he looked at Georgie. "About that... What... Let's ignore these details... Come with me to the dining room," he said.

Georgie nodded before following Henry into the dining room next door.

The dining room was huge.

There were French windows on all four sides.

From where Georgie stood, she could see the lush greenery in the courtyard.

The lively and vibrant view put her in a great mood.

In the center of the dining room was a large, round, European-style, grayish dining table.

There was a pile of fried eggs on the table...

There were also two sets of salad... As well as a set of sandwiches.

Although the fried eggs had tiny traces of being burned, they still looked somewhat edible...

Meanwhile, the salad seemed rather appetizing. As for the sandwiches, Georgie couldn't find the words to describe them.

Although there were also tiny traces of the bread being burned at the top, she could still bring herself to eat it.

Despite how unpresentable the breakfast Henry had made for Georgie seemed, she still felt warm on the inside.

"Although it doesn't look great... I've given it a taste earlier. It's not too bad... Give it a try. If you don't like it, I'll order something else for you..." Henry awkwardly scratched his head and said. To be honest, he wanted to impress Georgie today.

He had a dream to make breakfast for Georgie once.

Georgie didn't say anything. She maintained her calm composure and walked over to the dining table. After sitting down, she picked up a sandwich and took a bite.

There was too much salad sauce inside the sandwich, and it tasted a little too greasy.

However, overall, it was still acceptable.

Seeing that Georgie started eating, Henry instantly walked over to her and sat beside her. "Does it taste good?" he asked with a smile.

"Not too bad..." Georgie said blandly.

After that, Georgie picked up a fork and ate a mouthful of salad...

The mouthful of salad nearly made her pass out.

It was very salty...

Georgie frowned helplessly. After that, she took out a napkin and vomited the salad she had eaten into it. She directly threw it into the rubbish bin next to her feet.

Henry scratched his head awkwardly. "No... I thought this dish looked rather good after making it. That's why I didn't taste it. What's the matter? Does it taste horrible?" he asked.

Although Georgie had already vomited the food, she could still taste a strong, lingering saltiness in her mouth.

In fact, it even made her throat taste salty.

Georgie instantly picked up the glass of milk nearby and took several gulps.

When Henry saw this, he knew that it must have tasted incomparably terrible.

Out of curiosity, Henry quickly used a fork to grab a mouthful of salad and sandwich before chucking it into his mouth...

"Ahem... What the hell is this?" The intense saltiness immediately caused Henry to throw up.

Could this even be eaten by humans?

Georgie shook her head helplessly. "Do you run a salt factory?"

Henry laughed bitterly as he scratched his head. He felt incredibly embarrassed. "About that, I might have accidentally added too much salt... I'm sorry. In that case, you can eat the sandwich and drink the milk. After that, you can eat the eggs..."

Georgie nodded slowly. She then continued to eat.

"After breakfast... What are you going to do?" Henry asked.

"I'm going to work. What else can I do?" Georgie said blandly.

Beep, beep, beep, beep-

Right then, Georgie's phone started ringing. When she saw the remark on her phone screen, she was stunned for a moment...

Chapter 1168

Chapter 1168

"Hello, Miss Georgie, I've decided on casting Josh Batton as the male lead in my new movie."

It was a WeChat message from Garry Herrman.

Last night, he clearly said a few excellent male actors were being considered. He said he needed more time to select someone.

Why did he immediately change his mind today?

Did the other actors all fail the screening test?

Regardless of everything else, Georgie was still very excited to see this message. She instantly replied to it. "Alright. Thank you, Director Herrman. Don't worry. I'll make sure Josh gets prepared."

"Okay. I'll send the script to Josh later. We'll start filming on the thirtieth next month," Garry replied.

"Okay..." Georgie wrote.

Georgie felt genuinely happy that she was able to grab such a good opportunity for Josh Batton.

At this moment, she couldn't help but smile.

"Why are you smiling?" Henry asked.

"Nothing..." Georgie chuckled. She didn't want to tell Henry Armstrong too much.

Henry looked at Georgie deeply before lowering his head. He continued to eat his breakfast.

Right then, his assistant, Rosalie Myers, sent him a message on WeChat. "Mr. Armstrong... Director Herrman has already agreed to it."

Henry didn't reply to Rosalie. He instantly looked up at Georgie.

Now, he seemed to know why Georgie was happy earlier. The thing he liked seeing the most was Georgie's smiling face.

***

Meanwhile, on the other side, Xyla Quest sat in front of her dressing table. She carefully put on basic makeup.

After that, she casually pulled her black, curly hair back into a low ponytail.

She then added an intricate, dark green butterfly hairpin at the end of the ponytail.

Once her makeup was done, Xyla entered her huge closet and started selecting the outfit she'd wear this morning.

Honestly, she had way too many clothes. Walking into this place was even more bedazzling than walking into a clothes store in the shopping mall.

All of a sudden, Xyla didn't know what to wear.

After looking around, she finally decided on a pure, white, professional shirt and matched it with a black, tight-fitting skirt. On top of that, she put on a pair of black high heels. The professional outfit instantly made her appear neater.

Xyla casually grabbed a silver, limited-edition Hermes purse. She quickly walked over to the dressing table and put her phone, wallet, and cosmetic products into her purse. After that, she hastily walked out of the house.

Xyla needed to rush to the office because her father had set up an interview with Business Forefront on her behalf.

Personally, Xyla didn't like doing interviews like this.

However, Business Forefront had always been on good terms with her father, and it looked after Quest Group all this while. Hence, Xyla naturally couldn't refuse the interview.

She drove her red Maserati directly to Quest Group while escorted by six black Porsche Cayenne security cars.

As soon as she sat down in her office, someone knocked on the door.

Xyla naturally put her purse in a cabinet under the desk before she looked at the door. "Please come in..."

Soon, Xyla's beautiful assistant, Narda Verula, was standing at the door. "President Xyla... Business Forefront's journalist is already here."

As soon as Narda finished speaking, she directly led a middle-aged female journalist with a Business Forefront working permit around her neck and three videographers carrying filming equipment into the office.

The female journalist also had short, neat hair. She was wearing a white vest, a slim-fit Chanel skirt, and a pair of black stiletto sandals. She looked capable yet stylish at the same time...

Xyla recognized her. She was the leading journalist from Business Forefront, Louise Amherst.

Chapter 1169

Chapter 1169

Xyla Quest immediately stood up and walked up to Louise Amherst to shake her hand. They then introduced themselves to each other. After that, they cut to the chase.

Xyla led Louise over to the coffee table nearby and sat down.

Xyla sat on the long couch, while Louise sat on the single couch nearby.

After that, Louise equipped an infinite-length lavalier microphone on Xyla and herself...

Once they had equipped the microphones, and the videographers set up their cameras, the interview officially began...

The two smiled, shook each other's hand, and greeted each other once again in front of the camera.

After that, Louise started saying a bunch of opening remarks.

Once she was done, she started asking the questions she had prepared-

"Based on what I know, Miss Quest, you're only twenty-two. Your father has already entrusted the company to you at such a young age. Do you feel pressured?" Louise asked.

"Hmm, to be honest, it's not too bad... Certainly, I do feel some pressure. After all, Quest Group is quite big. I'm not only running my family's company, but countless families depend on us for a living..." Xyla said.

"In that case, when you feel pressured, how do you relieve it?" Louise asked.

"I'd chat with my husband or take a bubble bath on my own. I'd also put on my face mask and listen to music..." Xyla said.

"I heard that you have a great relationship with your husband. I wonder, what role does he play in your life?" Louise asked.

"He's like a meticulous big brother. Sometimes, I even feel that he's a little like my father..." Xyla said.

"What do you mean?" Louise asked.

"Hmm... He'd prepare everything for me and come up with plans for me in advance. Also, he'd remember everything that I casually mention, and then he'd make it come true for me..." Xyla explained. Hearing this, Louise felt greatly envious. "Looks like Mr. Batton really is a wonderful husband," she said.

"Yeah. He is... I'm very thankful to him for protecting me and tolerating me all this while," Xyla said.

Recalling all the tiny details of affection between Stanley Batton and herself, Xyla's heart filled with gratitude once again.

"In that case, what's the most touching thing he's done for you? Apart from decorating the entire city with roses in full bloom..." Louise said.

A smile gradually appeared on Xyla's face. She thought for a moment before responding. "Hmm... That'd be on my twenty-second birthday. I like fireworks, so he had set up a firework display for an entire night... After that, we ended up watching fireworks all through the night."

Of course, they even had sex the entire night.

However, Xyla wouldn't mention that...

Until now, when Xyla thought about that night, her heart would still tremble.

Hearing this, a look of shock appeared in Louise's eyes. "Did this happen in Rosales Manor?"

"Yes..." Xyla nodded.

Louise was instantly dumbfounded...

She was about to faint from all the juicy gossip Xyla was providing.

It turned out that the fireworks that went on at Rosales Manor all night long, which everybody had always been curious about, were actually organized by Stanley Batton!

Shocking! Wasn't this way too shocking?

Back then, this news had appeared on the list of hot topics!

Now that Louise had managed to find out such shocking news, the sales of their magazines for the current issue would definitely skyrocket!

Knock, knock, knock-

Right then, somebody knocked on the door.

Soon, the door was opened...

When Xyla saw who was standing by the door, she was instantly stunned for a moment.

Chapter 1169

Chapter 1170

Chapter 1170

The person who arrived was none other than Stanley Batton.

He was wearing a black shirt with a matching pair of black pants.

Without a necktie on, the three buttons below his collar were also casually left unbuttoned. His sleeves were rolled slightly up to his elbows.

He appeared casual with a tinge of laziness.

Although it was an ordinary outfit, Stanley made it look unusually noble.

There was a large bouquet of roses in his right hand.

No matter how good the roses looked, they still couldn't compare to one-ten-thousandth of the man's good looks.

The moment Louise Amherst saw Stanley Batton, she and the three male videographers were all stunned.

Even the three heterosexual men couldn't resist the charm of Stanley's good looks...

The three videographers subconsciously pointed their cameras at Stanley.

Louise didn't think she'd have this unexpected reward from interviewing Xyla Quest today.

Louise was able to bump into Stanley, someone who never did any interviews!

Stanley looked indifferently at Louise and the others before walking over to Xyla. He handed the roses over to her. "I bought these on the way. I hope you like them," Stanley said. The thick aromatic smell of roses filled Xyla's nostrils. At this moment, she felt thrilled.

Xyla instantly looked joyfully at Stanley. "I like it a lot... Why are you here? Didn't you say you'd be busy in the morning?"

"No matter how busy I get... I can't neglect my wife, can I?" Stanley said calmly. His eyes were filled with affection.

Louise and the three videographers were all envious when they witnessed the display of affection.

This was especially true for Louise...

As a woman, she truly wished she could have a husband like this!

Before Xyla could speak, Stanley started to say something. "Go on... I'll wait for you over there."

When Louise heard this, she instantly stood up and looked at Stanley. "Mr. Batton, would you mind doing this interview with us?"

"I would..." Stanley said blandly.

With that, Stanley directly walked over to Xyla's desk and sat down.

His cold attitude was completely different from how he treated Xyla earlier.

Louise felt that she had become completely frozen now.

Xyla looked at Stanley gently before turning to face Louise. "I'm sorry... He doesn't like interviews."

With that, Xyla reluctantly put the large bouquet on the coffee table.

Louise chuckled. "It's alright... Let's continue, Miss Quest."

Forget it, Louise didn't deserve it...

Xyla gently nodded.

After that, the interview resumed...

"Miss Quest, now that you've taken over Quest Group, do you plan to expand the company?" Louise asked.

"Since I've taken over, Quest Group is naturally going to expand... As for the degree of expansion, everyone will just have to wait and see," Xyla said.

Louise chuckled. "Okay, I think you'll do great... Do you mind if I ask something out of the topic? Are you the one who cooked that delicious food you occasionally published on Weibo?" Xyla shook her head. "No... My husband made those... He's the one who's in charge of cooking at home these days," Xyla said.

"What about the dishes? Are you in charge? No... You must have maids at home," Louise said.

"We don't have maids. We don't like having strangers in the house... Hence, my husband is the one who does all the house chores," Xyla said.

Louise was silent.

She had to admit that she was truly jealous!

Apart from feeling envious, jealous, and hateful, what else could she say?

Louise would never have thought that the interview today would end up like this-a massacre!

***

While Xyla was interviewed, Stanley looked silently at his phone and played with it.

He kept a cold expression on his face the entire time and never once looked at Louise and the rest.
