Ch. 521..530
Chapter 521
Xyla Quest kept herself busy until noon before finally sorting out all her work in X Entertainment and Quest Group that she had piled up.
After turning her computer off, she felt her neck was as stiff as a board.
Her shoulders were aching terribly.
Xyla stretched her arms lazily before looking at her watch and preparing to order in.
Right then, Stanley Batton called her on her phone.
The exhaustion she felt completely faded away when she saw his call.
Xyla immediately picked it up and a smile unknowingly appeared on her face. "Hey... What's up?"
"Have you eaten?" Stanley asked.
"Not yet. I was thinking of ordering in and maybe driving out later in the afternoon for a walk outside. I can't stand staying at home all day," Xyla answered.
"Are you done with work?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm all done."
"Come to my place. We'll eat together," he said.
"Sure..." Xyla wanted to go outside anyway.
"Come over to Dragon Group," Stanley added.
"Okay." Xyla said.
After that, Xyla hung up the phone and walked right into the closet.
She spent a long time in the closet with a vast array of clothes. In the end, she finally chose a gray-colored hoodie set she could wear outside.
While the upper body section consisted of a long-sleeve hoodie, the lower body section was a pair of loose-fitting pants that showed a little bit of her thin waist. The slightly revealing design gave her a casual look with a hint of sexy.
After putting on a black cap and a pair of white shoes, she grabbed her black handbag and headed out the door.
Realizing that the quality of air outside wasn't fantastic, and there seemed to be a bit of haze, she retrieved a single-use face mask from her bag and put it on.
Xyla drove her bright red Maserati all the way to Dragon Group's headquarters.
When she arrived, she could see the building towering over her.
It was the largest building in this part of the world.
Although she was no stranger to this building, since she used to pass by this place a lot, she had never been inside to see how it looked like.
Hence, she still felt somewhat curious about what was inside.
Xyla parked somewhere near the entrance. She adjusted her face mask a little before walking toward the entrance.
As it was the lunch hour, there were crowds of people walking in and out of the building's entrance. It seemed very lively.
Xyla was about to step through the door when two bodyguards extended their hands to stop her.
"Miss, do you have a working permit?" One of them asked coldly.
"Sorry, I don't have a working permit. I'm here to see your CEO," Xyla said.
"See our CEO? Have you made an appointment in advance?"
"Yes, I just spoke to your CEO on the phone," Xyla said truthfully.
A few employees who happened to be walking by immediately stopped when they heard what Xyla said.
"Oh dear. You really do learn a lot from working here. There would be women coming every other day to look for our CEO. Moreover, they always told the security guards that they spoke to the CEO on the phone..."
"Exactly. Nowadays, people will do anything to get access to wealthy bachelors. Although our CEO is indeed an excellent person, aren't these women going too far?"
"Right? Hahaha. Can't they come up with more creative excuses? This is such a joke."
A few employees who were passing by began whispering among themselves.
Chapter 522
Chapter 522
Stanley Batton was the one who asked Xyla Quest to come over. Besides, Xyla didn't have the intentions those people had said. Hence, it was understandable for her to feel offended by what they said. However, she didn't show any emotion on the surface. She took her phone out and proceeded to call Stanley instead.
Instantaneously, the two bodyguards rolled their eyes in annoyance.
Right after that, one of them began to speak. "Pretending to call our CEO again. Are you thinking of sneaking into the building when we're not paying attention? We've seen far too many like you, lady. Stop playing tricks."
"Exactly. Our CEO doesn't randomly meet girls for no reason," the other bodyguard chipped in.
Everyone who passed by couldn't resist rolling their eyes at Xyla. They were making it seem as if Xyla was a girl who was here to seduce their CEO.
Xyla ignored them and continued to look for Stanley's number on her phone.
Just as she was about to press the dial button, she saw Stanley walking out of the building.
He was wearing a white shirt and black pants. The sight of him walking out of a high-class building like that made him seem supremely noble.
He was like a one-of-a-kind luxury item in the world that most people wouldn't even get to see.
As soon as he walked out, everyone around fixed their eyes on him as if he was an expensive piece of jewelry, shining brighter than everyone else.
In that moment, the world seemed to fade into the background.
Meanwhile, Xyla could see nothing but the brightness radiating from him.
When the female employees saw him, they nodded and greeted him politely while they continued to look at him dreamily.
None of them could take their eyes off Stanley.
Someone began whispering to another person behind Xyla. "I think we'll be able to witness our CEO chasing a b*tch away once again."
"Yeah, yeah... Haha. It's going to be fun to watch."
"Our CEO always treats b*tches the same way. Normally, he would only say two words, get lost."
Although their voices were soft, Xyla could hear them clearly. She felt terrible on the inside.
But she couldn't be bothered to bicker with them.
Once Stanley walked out of the building, he fixed his eyes on Xyla's face.
After that, he naturally stopped in front of her and looked at her affectionately. "I didn't think you'd arrive so soon."
"Did you come down to wait for me on purpose?" Xyla asked.
"Yeah," Stanley said before lifting his hand and ruffling Xyla's hair as if nobody around was looking.
When everyone saw this scene, they were dumbfounded, and all of them felt embarrassed.
"Let's go..." Stanley reached for Xyla's hand and brought her into the office building.
"Did you hear that? Our CEO came down just to fetch her. Oh my God."
"Why do I find this woman so familiar? I couldn't see her face clearly because she's wearing a mask. I think she looks a lot like Xyla Quest..."
"Come to think of it, the pictures I saw of Xyla Quest's husband were all taken from the side. Back then, I thought the man looked very much like our CEO. Most importantly, the man even has the same name as our CEO. But I didn't dare think about it."
"No way. Xyla Quest's husband seems to be a Chinese medicine practitioner, but our CEO isn't..."
"I think that woman looks a lot like Xyla Quest too. I've seen her face on Weibo a lot. However, I couldn't recognize her just now because she was wearing a mask..."
"From the looks of things, if that woman is Xyla Quest, that meant our CEO must be her husband. Otherwise, why would she cheat openly? Do you think Xyla Quest is dumb?"
"I'm going to check and see if that really was Xyla Quest. Ahhh... I'm so jealous. That divine man has been snatched by another woman just like that. I feel heartbroken." Xyla and Stanley were both unable to hear what these people said out there.
While everyone watched on, Stanley held Xyla's hand and walked into his personal elevator. The two of them then arrived at the CEO's office on the top floor.
Stanley's office was huge. In fact, it was two times bigger than her father's office, and it had a great view.
From here, it seemed as if one was looking out at the entire world.
It felt as if everything else was beneath their feet.

Chapter 524
"Come to my office," Stanley Batton said.
Zack Cassidy was shocked.
Prior to this, Stanley never had the habit of holding meetings in his office.
Was it because Xyla Quest was around today?
In the past, Stanley would never allow any unrelated individuals in his meetings.
Meanwhile, despite Xyla being here today, he actually asked for the meeting to be held here.
How could he do this when so much of the company's confidential information would be discussed during the meeting?
Although Zack had a lot of questions on his mind, he nodded politely. "Yes, Master Batton."
"Tell them the meeting will be held an hour later," Stanley said.
"Yes," Zack responded.
"Are you sure it's okay for me to be present during the meeting?" Xyla asked while she ate.
"What's the issue?" Stanley asked.
"I'm sure you would be discussing things that outsiders shouldn't overhear, isn't that so?" Xyla asked. "You're not an outsider," Stanley said.
"Still, I don't think it's a good idea. Your staff would think otherwise. What would they say?" Xyla added.
"Who'd dare?" Stanley said calmly. With that, he grabbed a few pieces of cabbage from a takeaway container and placed them all in her bowl. "Here, you like these. Have some more."
Zack felt extremely uncomfortable with how caring Stanley was behaving.
This was no longer the Stanley he knew. Stanley had changed!
After that, Stanley looked at Zack. "Go on..."
Zack walked away directly.
When Xyla saw how insistent Stanley was, she didn't say anything else. Instead, she continued to eat silently.
Not long after they finished eating, Zack returned with a group of Dragon Group's high-level executives. They made a grand entrance into the CEO's office.
Meanwhile, Xyla sat in a cross-legged manner on the couch by herself. While she held onto Stanley's laptop, she began to download League of Legends. Her attention was completely focused on the computer
screen.
When the others saw this, they were all stunned. Each of them began to question themselves.
Stanley glanced briefly at the dumbfounded group of people with any emotion showing in his eyes. "Sit..." He said.
Everyone immediately returned to their senses and silently sat on chairs, which were prepared in advance, around Stanley's desk.
While the meeting continued, Xyla held onto Stanley's laptop while she leisurely played her game.
After she finished one match, the meeting was still going on.
Xyla couldn't help but turn to look at Stanley.
During the meeting, he seemed very strict. The gilded fountain pen in his hand was lightly tapping on a document while he seemed very much focused. Occasionally, he would nod.
A lot of points were brought up during the meeting. He would always be able to point out the roots of the issues accurately and offer solutions to resolve them.
Xyla was once again amazed by Stanley's capabilities.
Although the meeting involved a lot of internal information that was confidential, Stanley didn't mind discussing with everyone in front of Xyla.
Since it was clear Stanley was in a good mood, the high-level executives felt much more relaxed in the meeting. Whenever they were met with problems, they would show a more positive attitude during the discussions than they did before.
By the time Xyla won her second match in the game, the meeting had come to an end.
Stanley slowly closed the folder in his hand before looking at the group of people in front of him. "Meeting adjourned," he said.
After that, Stanley looked over at the couch where Xyla was seated with his laptop in her arms. "Darling," he called out gently. Xyla instantly turned to look at him with a smile. "What's up?"
Chapter 525
Chapter 525
Stanley Batton waved at Xyla Quest before tapping on his thigh as if nobody else was around. "Come over..." He said. The high-level executives were all dumbfounded by the sight of a real-life, domineering CEO being romantic with his wife. "Come with me, everyone," Zack Cassidy said while he looked at them.
With that, Zack walked out of the office with the group of high-level executives following behind him in a neat, single file. Meanwhile, Xyla obediently stood up and walked up to Stanley before sitting down on his lap.
Everyone who walked out of the office was feeling unusually relaxed.
"I feel great during the meeting today... This is the first time I've seen our CEO being kind. It's also the first time I've not felt nervous in a meeting with him."
"I was shocked when I saw that beautiful woman as I entered the office. When did Master Batton, who had always treated work seriously, start allowing an outsider in on his meetings?"
"Looks like the rumors from before were true. Xyla's alleged husband, Stanley Batton, really is our CEO."
"I didn't believe it back then because the pictures of him were always taken from the side, and they seemed to have been taken from afar. Most importantly, the rumors on the internet claimed Xyla's husband was a medical practitioner. I've also never heard anything about our CEO getting married..."
"Did you notice the details? Our CEO actually allowed his wife to play games with his personal laptop! Xyla Quest really does have a special place in his heart.”
After hearing what everyone said, Zack coughed gently and turned around to look at them. "The Batton family has always prioritized their family members' privacy. The same rule applies. Whatever you've found out, you must keep it within the organization. You shall not leak it to outsiders, and you definitely aren't allowed to take photos. I hope all of you will tell your employees to do the same once you return," Zack said.
"That's for sure. Don't worry, Mr. Cassidy," One of the high-level executives said.
Each of them returned to their own departments and quickly passed on the message. They forbade their subordinates from sharing news about Stanley and Xyla to outsiders.
As soon as the order was announced, there was a commotion in each of the departments. Suddenly, the news between Stanley and Xyla became the most popular topic of discussion among employees in the entire office.
Of course, all of them only dared to discuss it within the organization. None of them had the courage to leak the news to outsiders.
That was because there was a clause in their employee contract that forbade them from leaking any information or gossip related to the Batton family. If they were to do so, there was a shocking amount of fine they needed to pay.
***
Once everyone had left, it became quiet in the huge office.
Xyla gently rested her head against Stanley's shoulder. "Are you tired?" She asked.
"Not too bad. Were you playing games?" Stanley said.
"Yeah. I won both matches that I played," Xyla said.
"Amazing."
"Are you going to continue working?" Xyla asked.
"Yes," Stanley answered.
"I shall not bother you in that case." Xyla quickly stood up and was about to return to her game.
However, in the next second, Stanley extended his hand and naturally pulled her onto his lap. After that, his lip moved close to hers. "Wait a second..." Xyla said before pressing her hands against his chest. "What are you doing? It's under broad daylight," she said.
"What's wrong with doing it under broad daylight?" Stanley asked.
"No... Hmm..."
As soon as Stanley stopped talking, he forcefully pressed his lips against hers.
After that, he pressed a button on a remote control next to him.
All curtains in the room began to slide downward...
The entire room became as dim as the time of dusk.
Right after that, Stanley pressed a button on another remote control. The door automatically locked itself from the inside.
In the sealed space, Stanley could do whatever he wanted.
He was still the ruler who reigned over everyone else.

Chapter 526
The lovebirds clung to each other for a long time before Stanley Batton finally willing to let Xyla Quest go.
Promptly pushing him away, Xyla sat up from the office desk with difficulty and got dressed as fast as she could.
When Xyla put on her last piece of clothing, Stanley had done getting dressed too.
He sat on the desk neatly dressed, looking tidy and clean. He was totally different from just now.
Stanley patted his thigh lightly as he smiled at Xyla. "Sit here."
Immediately, Xyla jumped off the desk and rejected him. "Hurry up and do your work. Don't act like a perverted, self-indulgent ruler."
However, he pulled her onto his lap again with his long arm and stroked her hair gently, "It's actually quite fun to be a self-indulgent ruler once in a while..."
"Nonsense." Xyla's cheeks were kissed pink.
"Go and play your game. Hubby shall keep working to support the family, to support you." As he spoke, he ran his fingers through her hair again.
"Who said that I need you to support me?" The rosiness on her cheeks did not melt away. As soon as she finished that sentence, she patted him on the shoulder in a serious manner. "Focus on your work." "Yes madam." Stanley responded.
Xyla beamed a smile at him before walking back to the sofa.
She could clearly feel the soreness in both of her legs with every step she took.
It was as if she had done some heavy work several days in a row.
After struggling for quite some time, she finally made it to the sofa. Lying down comfortably on the sofa, she placed her laptop aside and began to watch the spring match of League of Legends region LPL with her phone.
After watching two games, she sat up from the sofa and looked at where Stanley was sitting.
The man was focusing on his work at the moment.
She then took a glance at the clock, it was already six o'clock in the evening at the moment.
In addition to the vigorous exercise just now, she had eaten very little for lunch too. As a result, she was starving to death right now.
Nevertheless, she noticed that Stanley seemed to have a lot of work left to do. Therefore, she did not say anything much, silently enduring her hunger while watching the match.
At seven o'clock sharp, Stanley had finally settled all his work.
Without any delay, he pushed aside the large pile of approved and completed files in front of him and headed to Xyla directly, sitting down next to her. "Let's go. Let's eat outside today." Xyla's mood lifted as soon as she heard the word 'eat'. She quickly got up from the sofa and urged him. "I'm starving. Hurry up, let's go now."
"Sorry, I lost track of time." He apologized.
"It's okay. That always happens when we're busy with our work." Xyla could relate to him.
"Where do you want to go for dinner?"
"I have a craving for Japanese food. Any nearby Japanese restaurant will do. Oh right, join me to go to the mall after we're done eating. Dior has released a new bag recently and I want to check it out." "If you don't want to go to the mall, you can also go home and I'll go by myself," added Xyla before she took out a makeup mirror embedded with gold and diamonds from her bag to check her makeup. After making sure that her makeup was not ruined, she slid the mirror back into her bag.
Slowly standing up from the sofa, Stanley approached Xyla and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind before whispering in her ears, "I don't want to go to the mall, I want you..."
As his cringy words scattered in her ears, Xyla could feel that her heart was in a mess again.
Suddenly, the absurd yet crazy scenes of the two of them in the office just now kept flashing across her eyes, replaying again and again.
"Can you stop being so shameless?"
"Why can't I be shameless in front of my wife? Which part of me haven't you seen before?"
Again, his words accelerated Xyla's heartbeat instantaneously, causing it to race frantically.
"Let's go and have some dinner. I'll go to the mall with you after dinner," said Stanley.
"Okay." Xyla gathered her thoughts right away and quickly pushed him away. Grabbing her bag, she stalked out of the office alone, leaving Stanley behind.
As the man stared at her back, a smile began to blossom on his face unconsciously.
Together, the two of them took the elevator, and they reached the lobby shortly afterwards.
Chapter 527
Chapter 527
As soon as the elevator door opened, Stanley Batton held Xyla Quest's hand and walked out of the elevator with her.
The elevator next to them opened at the same time as well, where a few female employees who had just finished working overtime came out from.
When they saw the two of them walking hand in hand, they stopped dead in their tracks, endless excitement and envy brimming in their eyes.
"They're really made for each other, aren't they? Only a beautiful fairy like her is truly the perfect match for our President."
"Xyla Quest's body is really awesome, am I right? Her face is very stunning too. I bet she'll garner a lot of attention from the fans if she is involved in the entertainment industry."
"What do people mean by the 'winner of life'? Just look at Xyla and you'll understand. Besides being born in a wealthy family, she has now found a perfect man like our President to be her husband as well."
"Exactly. On top of that, the perfect man will obey her, spoiling her like a princess. I've never seen our President being so gentle to anyone before. I even heard that our President cooked for her, and he brough her to the meeting together with him today. My Lorddd... I'm so envious of her, sisters."
The admiration and adoration in their tone was only amplified with each word they spoke.
In addition, there was a tinge of jealousy hidden behind their words too.
However, Xyla was totally unaware of their comments.
Cold breeze welcomed the lovely couple the moment they set foot outside the main door. Without hesitation, Stanley took off the black suit he was wearing and draped it over Xyla's shoulder. The scene looked exactly like a drama, and they were the male and female leads in the drama.
Once again, his small gesture had attracted the attention of those female employees again, their envy toward Xyla growing stronger and stronger.
"Ah... He's really spoiling her, isn't he? What kind of domineering-President-and-his-petite-wife drama is this?"
"I always thought that if our President is in a relationship, his other half must be the one taking care of him. Guess I'm wrong!"
"A man with a godlike existence like him has finally returned to the human world for Xyla. I feel nothing except jealousy."
Under the attention of the ladies, Xyla wrapped herself tightly under Stanley's suit and left the office together with him.
Walking past her own car, she got into Stanley's black Honda directly.
The moment she sat in the car, she could not help but burst out laughing.
It was quite interesting as she thought about it. In the past, he purposely got himself a car like this in order to pretend to be poor. Furthermore, he had to drive this car to work everyday.
She wondered what the employees of his company were thinking when they saw him driving in this car during those days. Did the bossy President buy an ordinary car because he was tired of driving a branded car?
"What are you laughing at?" Stanley started the car in no time, his eyes were full of curiosity. "I'm laughing at you. You've been driving this car to work just to put on a show."
"Speaking of which, it's time for me to change my car."
"Yeah." Xyla nodded in agreement.
"Let's go to pick a new car after going to the mall."
"Sure."
In the middle of their conversation, Stanley turned his car around and started speeding down the road under the stars.
***
After Xyla and Stanley had finished their meals, they went to the Dior branch at Goldfield Plaza.
As soon as they stepped inside the store, Xyla saw a blonde, bluish-green-eyed woman was choosing the handbags extravagantly. There was a big group of bodyguards standing around her. She was ordering bags, to be exact. Any bags she pointed at, the salesgirl would happily pick it up and place it on the counter for her.
By now, there were dozens of bags on the counter already.
Another salesgirl was busy counting the total amount of the bags.
As a girl who always shopped at the branded stores, Xyla had often encountered wealthy ladies like her. Therefore, she was not surprised by her attitude at all.
Pulling Stanley by his hand, Xyla headed straight to the brand new off-white handbag that she fancied. She picked it up and hung it around her shoulder, asking Stanley for his opinion. "Does it look good on me?"
"Yeah." Though Stanley did not comment much on the bag, his eyes only expressed sincerity as he spoke that line.
While Xyla was indulging in the charm of the bag, the foreign noblewoman had shifted her gaze toward Xyla too.
Chapter 528
Chapter 528
Originally, the foreign noblewoman had no interest in that bag at all. However, she changed her mind as she saw Xyla Quest try on the bag, a strong desire to own the bag rising within her. Pointing at the bag in Xyla's hand, she turned to face the salesgirl and demanded. "Is there any stock left for that bag? I'll take it."
She had the typical foreigner's accent when speaking the language of Country Z.
The salesgirl shook her head helplessly in response. "No, Miss. That's a limited edition and there are only two in our store. We just sold one earlier, and that is the only one left." Without hesitation, the foreign noblewoman strode toward Xyla and pointed at the bag in her hand. "Give it to me..."
Xyla and Stanley frowned at her rude and overbearing attitude.
"I'm going to buy this," said Xyla.
She would never hand over the bag to this woman.
If this person had spoken nicely to her in the first place, she would consider giving her the bag and sacrificing herself. However, there was no reason for her to do so since she was so impolite. "Pfft... People of Country Z. Get, out..." The foreign noblewoman rolled her eyes at Xyla.
Then, she snatched the bag from Xyla and hung it around her own arm, a cold glance which landed on the salesgirls followed soon after. "I'm taking this, wrap it up for me... Don't let any Country Z people come in today. I hate them the most." The foreign noblewoman added.
Her words had stirred the anger within Xyla instantaneously.
She did not mind being insulted but she could never accept people insulting her country!
As a foreigner who chose to visit Country Z herself, she was asking the citizens of Country Z to get out and she even said that she hated to be here. What kind of logic was that?
As Stanley was standing beside them, his face darkened after hearing the nonsense blurted from the lady's mouth. Coldness swirled around him as if it was going to freeze everything around him. "This is Country Z. You're the one who should get out of here," Xyla responded coldly, "Where did you get your confident sense of superiority from? You should behave yourself in our place. If you hate the people here, just get lost."
"Who do you think you are? Talking to me like that? Do you know who I am?" The foreign noblewoman rebuked in an indifferent tone. "How dare you tell me to get lost?"
"What's wrong with that?" Xyla sneered. "I don't care who you are. Now that we're in Country Z, anyone who disrespects our people should leave."
Throughout their conversation, Stanley had remained silent. All he did was pull out his phone and send a message.
"Pfft... Do you think I'll leave just because you ask me to? You think you own the mall?" The foreign noblewoman raised her voice and bellowed.
"I'm sorry but this mall is really run by my family." Xyla answered with an apathetic face.
"I was wondering why the air in the mall was so bad today? So it was you that polluted the air." The foreign noblewoman was full of disdain.
Following that statement, the general manager of the mall entered the store with a large group of security guards behind him.
There were about a hundred of them.
Almost all eyes fell on the group of people as they marched into the store out of nowhere.
Consequently, many people were drawn to the Dior store because of them.
Very soon, the store was surrounded by countless passersby who were ready to watch the drama happening at the store.
The foreign noblewoman was extremely shocked by the spectacular line-up of the security guards. Her fists clenched tightly as she glared at Xyla as well as Stanley. She then pointed at the group of security guards and questioned them, "What are you all trying to do? You people... Beat the sh*t out of them!"
Hearing the order, the bodyguards she brought with her began to attack the security guards but they were clearly at the disadvantage as the security guards outnumbered them.
Soon, all the bodyguards were defeated on the ground, unable to stand up.
Panic was written all over the foreign noblewoman's face. Furious with her loss, she pointed at the crowd and yelled, "You.. All of you, stop! Otherwise, I'll make you eat your words!" "Bring it on then." Stanley spoke indifferently. A strong, apathetic aura exuded from him, shielding his true self from other people.
"Kick them out of here!" Stanley glared at the general manager of the mall again and ordered.
Chapter 529
Chapter 529
The general manager immediately stepped forward and nodded respectfully. "Yes, Sir!"
The foreign noblewoman darted a cold glance at the general manager. "You're in charge of the mall, aren't you? Are you going to kick your customer out? Don't you know that customers are always the King? I was just about to buy all the bags in the entire store. Do you know much that is worth?"
The general manager replied coldly. "I know, but we don't give a crap about your money."
With that out of the way, he casually waved a hand at the security guards.
Very soon, the group of people led by the foreign noblewoman were all evicted from the mall.
The general manager quickly approached Stanley Batton and whispered again, "Do we have to beat those people up?"
"No. We'll call it a day." Xyla Quest looked at the general manager.
However, the general manager hesitated and continued to stare at Stanley's face, waiting for his order.
"Listen to her..." Stanley squeezed Xyla's hand and kissed it softly. "Everything's up to her."
Confused with his statement, the general manager stared at Xyla blankly before coming back to his senses and asking, "Then, Miss, do you have other orders?"
Xyla shook her head in response.
"Alright. I'll leave first." Courteously nodding his head once more, the general manager left the store together with the rest of the security guards.
The onlookers surrounding the store could not make head nor tail of the whole incident and eventually left as well.
Some of them began to whisper among themselves as they walked away.
"Who's that girl? Why is she so arrogant? Why did they kick out that group of foreigners?"
"No idea. It sounds like there's some dispute going on between them. Look at the general manager of the mall being so respectful to that woman. Guess we shouldn't mess with her." "That woman looks like Xyla, right? She looks kind of arrogant."
Xyla could clearly hear the discussion of the crowd. Without paying any heed to them, Xyla simply smiled before staring deep at Stanley's face. "I shouldn't have brought you here in the first place, we're here sulking in vain."
Stretching out his long arm, Stanley casually placed his hands around Xyla, pulling her close to him. "It's over now. Don't be mad alright. I'll buy you a few more bags today. Should we just take all the bags here?"
After saying that, Stanley turned to look at the salesgirl who was already stunned by his words and said, "Wrap up all the bags here. There you go..."
Subsequently, he took out his premium credit card with unlimited credit and handed it to the salesgirl.
When the salesgirl was about to take it, Xyla immediately grasped Stanley's hand which was holding the card and insisted, "No, I just want this one bag I'm holding right now." Then, she pointed at the bag in her hand.
"You're allowed to buy a few more when you're in the bad mood. Bags keep the worries away, don't they?"
"One is enough for me."
Without saying anything, Stanley directly placed the card in the salesgirl's palm. "Just do as I say."
Xyla did not know what to feel except helpless. Having such a dominating and wealthy husband, who loved to give her all kinds of gifts for no reason, what could she do?! Happily taking the card from Stanley, the salesgirl went off to pack the bags with glee.
This was a big order indeed! She could make such a huge commission!!! This was definitely the highlight of her career!!!
"Stanley Batton, do you have to be like this?" Xyla's face was filled with helplessness.
"Call me Hubby."
"Hubby... Is it necessary for you to do that?"
"Dear, be a good girl alright? Let's sit here." Stanley stroked her hair gently before he held her hand and sat down on the couch with her, waiting patiently for the salesgirl to pack their bags.

Chapter 530
Stanley Batton's huge order in the store had successfully drawn the attention of countless people once again.
All of them were stunned.
This was especially true for the other salesgirls from the nearby stores. How they wished they were in the Dior store to witness that historical moment.
The two of them remained seated in the store, waiting for the salesgirl to calculate the bill. After all their bags had been packed, Stanley left his home address as well as his phone number and hand in hand, he led Xyla out of the store under the attention of the crowd.
As they walked, Stanley glanced at the other stores coldly and asked, "Is there anything else you want to buy?"
Grabbing Stanley's hand instantly, Xyla Quest strode off while pulling Stanley behind her. "What else do you want to buy? Control yourself, my lord."
"You can buy more than this," added Stanley.
Xyla's response was to simply roll her eyes at him. "Do you think I'm a shopaholic? It's not easy to make money so spend your money wisely, okay?"
"Why are you acting like a pesky housekeeper?" Stanley stroked her hair gently, his eyes were full of love for her.
"You have a problem with that?" Xyla asked in a low voice.
"I dare not." Stanley smiled at her.
Upon hearing his answer, Xyla could hardly stop herself from laughing aloud.
Stanley softly placed his hand around Xyla's shoulder. "Are you sure you don't want anything else?"
Xyla shook her head firmly. "I'm very sure."
"Let's go then, my wifey." Stanley continued to hug Xyla around her shoulder, marching forward together.
Behind the two of them, many customers, who were strolling around the mall, started gabbling and jabbering again.
"What kind of perfect husband is this? Besides being handsome, he's spoiling her wife like a baby!"
"If I'm that lady, I'd be laughing and giggling even when I'm asleep. Oh my God!"
"They look really good together, don't they? The man is handsome whereas the lady is beautiful, they're definitely the perfect match as they walk together. The two of them must have saved the galaxy in their past lives to be able to live a life like this!"
After the couple had returned to their car, Stanley drove Xyla to a two-storey villa located by the river.
Entering the villa, he went into the underground garage in the courtyard right away.
The garage was full of cars, all of which were luxury cars.
At first glance, there were around thousands of branded cars.
Furthermore, there were numerous classical models in the garage, which Xyla believed were antique cars from a long time ago.
"You have so many cars?" Xyla could not believe her eyes.
"Yes." answered Stanley.
Shortly after, Stanley got out from the car first before walking to the other side and opening the door for Xyla.
Xyla got out of the car in a state of utter disbelief.
All the cars here were more exaggerated than those in a car show. Immediately, countless zeros started swimming in her head.
"Which car do you think I should drive next?" Stanley scanned the fleet of cars in the garage as he asked.
However, Xyla had lost herself in the wide variety of cars, unable to choose any one from them. "Up to you," said Xyla.
Stanley casually pointed at a black Bentley Arnage parked not far from them. "How about that one?" Following his finger, Xyla took a look at the car. "Well, not too fancy yet imposing, it suits you well."
Without hesitation, Stanley held her hand and led her to the car. He drove it out right after they got into it. "This is it."
