Ch. 661..670

Chapter 661

Disgruntled with his attitude, the girl cursed, "What the heck? Why did you look for me if you're not interested in women?"

Sebastian Brenand felt refreshed after he left the private room.

He had made up his mind. He set his sights on getting rid of the girls he was seeing. Then, he would set off to hunt for Rachel Wood! He was not going to touch other women again for Rachel's sake.

As long as she was willing to return to his side, he would marry her no matter what.

He had to get the woman he had fallen in love with for the first time in his life back!

Most of the time, one would only realize the importance of someone when they were gone.

Without further ado, Sebastian stalked out of the bar and called his assistant. "Find out where Rachel is by tomorrow!"

Without waiting for his assistant to respond, he hung up the phone right away.

Rachel was all that was on the mind even after he went back to his luxury car.

Muddled by the thought of her, Sebastian started the car and left the bar. He drove aimlessly around the familiar city while laughing at himself. "Rachel, what kind of magic spells did you use on me? How the f*ck did I fall into your hands?"

Maybe Rachel was his karma.

She was his retribution for playing with girls' feelings.

"Rachel, I f*cking miss you!" Sebastian bellowed helplessly.

He deeply regretted his actions when Rachel had expressed her feelings to him the last time. Why did he not stop her from leaving?

If he had realized his love for her earlier and kept her by his side, the two of them would not have ended up this way.

The traffic light at the junction turned red.

Sebastian stepped on the brake.

Suddenly, his phone rang. It was Henry Armstrong calling him. Sebastian quickly put on the Bluetooth headset and pressed the 'answer' button with one hand while his other continued to hold the steering wheel. "What's up?"

"Hey, do you want to come over and play bowling together?" Henry asked.

"Nah."

"Why? Haven't you walked out of your heartbreak?"

"I guess I won't be able to walk out of it for the rest of my life."

"What are you going to do then?" Henry asked again.

"Find her! Marry her!" Sebastian was determined.

"Well... Cool. I support you."

Hearing Henry's support, Sebastian did not say anything else and directly hung up the phone.

That night, he opened his contact list on his phone and deleted all the girls' numbers, cutting ties with all of them.

All his toxic relationships were disposed of cleanly, one at a time.

***

The next morning, Stanley Batton was brushing his teeth when his phone vibrated.

Noticing Zack Cassidy's name on the screen, he quickly rinsed his mouth and picked up the call.

"Fifth Master... Ada had committed suicide. I think she knew she would be dead anyhow, so she decided to end her life on her own. As for that waitress who pushed Mistress, she had also committed suicide after Christopher Lancelot sent her to prison last night..."

Stanley snorted coldly, resentment boiling in his eyes. "Got it."

"Speaking of which, I've found Dex Reagan. He spilled everything to me when I interrogated him. He said that it was Emily Quest who contacted him in the beginning. Before this, Emily had been asking him to track you down.

"However, after he found your profile from the registry database and handed it over to Emily, she told him that she was going to call it quits. A few days later, a woman claiming to be Emily's mother-in-law suddenly contacted him. She asked him to hand over all the evidence of his investigation about you, and she promised that she would give him a sum of money in exchange. With that, they agreed to a deal. "Hence, Bailey Ronson has been lying all this while. Emily was the one who started the investigation. However, it's still a mystery how Bailey found Dex Reagan and got the results from him after Emily had decided to stop looking into it. I need to abduct Bailey and Emily so I can interrogate the two of them."

Patiently and seriously, Zack recounted the ins and outs of the information he got from interrogating Dex to Stanley.

Chapter 662

Chapter 662

"Got it. Keep me updated..." Stanley Batton ordered.

"Okay. By the way, Fifth Master, the mission you gave me the other day is all set now... Mistress will definitely be surprised when she goes out this morning." "Okay, good..."

Stanley cracked a smile as he hung up the phone.

Putting down the phone, he continued to wash up before returning to the bedroom.

Xyla had just woken up.

The sunlight from the french window shone brightly upon her. She looked very much like an indolent kitten dawdling in the bed.

Her arms rested outside the blanket. They were as smooth as fresh snow. Her face was fair yet delicate, tempting Stanley to place a kiss on it.

The enticing scene made Stanley's muscles tense.

Seeing that Stanley had already washed up, Xyla rubbed her eyes and stretched her body languidly. She then rolled over to take the wristwatch from the bedside table and took a glance at the time.

"It's already eight o'clock... Gosh, I have to hurry up." She had loads of work to settle today. Other than her two companies' paperwork, she had to visit Team QPG's base to train with the team members. Though all of them played very well for yesterday's game, there was still room for improvement in their teamwork.

Xyla sat up from the bed and casually combed her silky black hair with her fingers.

Stanley walked up to her, his hand subconsciously caressing her chin. "What do you want to eat for breakfast?" "You decide. I love everything that you make."

"I'll see what's left in the fridge then. Oh right... Ada and the waitress both committed suicide," Stanley said.

Xyla totally did not expect that to happen.

She speculated that the two of them were afraid of jail, so they had decided to end their lives.

"Besides that..." Stanley told her everything about Dex Reagan.

After listening to the story, Xyla fell into deep thoughts. "It seems like Bailey Ronson was lying to us that day. The one who had been instructing people to investigate me isn't Bailey, but Emily Quest. "But Dex mentioned that Emily was going to call it quits after she got the evidence from him. Considering that point, I think Emily really wanted to stop competing with me...

"If that's the case, how did Bailey know Dex? Why didn't she approach him earlier, but right after he had obtained the results from his investigation?"

Xyla's mind raced frantically, trying to analyze the plotholes that lie in Dex's confession.

"So, Zack said that he'd abduct Emily and Bailey and question them again," Stanley interrupted.

"Hmm... There are two possibilities now. It's either Emily is innocent, or she's using Bailey to keep herself out of this matter. Maybe she came up with some plans to guide Bailey into finding Dex and revealing everything..." Xyla said again.

"Well, you're right." Stanley nodded in agreement.

"Make sure Zack interrogates them properly," Xyla reminded him.

"Okay."

"Let's not talk about that anymore. I'll go wash up first."

As soon as she finished her sentence, Stanley helped her put on her slippers for her and then lifted her like a princess.

His abrupt action made Xyla's mind go blank. She subconsciously threw her arms around his neck to balance herself. "What are you doing?"

"I'll carry you to the bathroom."

"Stop. I can walk on my own."

Nevertheless, Stanley insisted on carrying her to the bathroom despite her apparent refusal.

Whenever he was around, Xyla felt like a little princess being pampered by her prince.

She was just like a precious ruby to him.

Other than her father, Stanley Batton was undoubtedly the best man she had ever met in her life.

***

After having breakfast, Xyla went upstairs and changed into a pair of high heels. Satisfied with her outfit, she left the house and prepared to go to work.

When she walked across the courtyard, she noticed that Stanley had not left yet. He was sitting inside his black Bentley Arnage, waiting for her.

Chapter 663

Chapter 663

The car window was halfway down. The man casually smoked as he looked at her; his eyes were filled with adoration. Xyla Quest pulled out her car key to unlock her red Maserati before walking up to him. "Why are you still here?"

"I'm waiting for you."

"Okay..."

"I have something to show you," he added.

"What is it?" Xyla's eyes widened, attentive and brimming with curiosity.

Stanley Batton took a deep puff at the cigarette, a mischievous gaze following soon after. "You'll find out soon."

Xyla could not bear the suspense. "Don't keep me guessing. Go on!"

"Get in the car..." Stanley tittered.

Without further ado, Xyla got into her red Maserati obediently and drove off.

Stanley's black Bentley Arnage followed after her.

As soon as the car left the gate, Xyla was utterly shocked by the view in front of her.

The two sides of the road were filled with countless pots of fiery red roses. The flower-filled road stretched into the distance as far as the eyes could see. It was just like a borderless sea of roses. The rosy fragrance diffused in the air and filled her, keeping her mind refreshed.

Was this what he wanted to show her?

Xyla immediately stopped her car, stunned.

Very soon, the Bentley Arnage approached her and pulled up next to her.

Xyla lowered the car window eagerly. She gaped at him in bewilderment and asked, "Is this what you wanted to show me?"

"Yeah. Keep driving," Stanley urged.

He wanted her to keep driving.

Did that mean that there were more sceneries like this ahead?

Xyla could not believe her eyes nor her ears. There and then, she stepped on the gas pedal and drove ahead.

The black Bentley Arnage continued to follow closely behind her, keeping a distance of half a car between them.

As Xyla sped down the street, she found that the entire road was full of red roses on both sides. It was never ending.

It was hard to imagine the extent of manpower involved to give this city an entirely new look overnight.

Xyla noticed it now as tears started to well up in her eyes.

She kept on driving. Innumerable roses accompanied her all the way to Quest Property Group.

Finally, her car came to halt at the entrance of the company.

Nevertheless, Xyla was still unable to grasp the situation before her. Her brain remained in shock, and her soul was smoldered with surprise.

Shortly, the Bentley Arnage came closer and parked next to her. Stanley then got out of his car and hopped into her car. He asked, "What do you think? Do you like it?"

"Of course I do... How did you do that? Is there anything that you can't do, Stanley Batton? I can't believe that you actually set up half of the city with flowers! All in one night!" "You're wrong."

"What do you mean?"

"It's not 'half of the city'. It's the entire city," he corrected her.

Xyla was instantaneously dumbstruck.

The entire city...

This meant that all the roads in Atlantis were lined with red roses right now, just like what she saw along the way here.

"Didn't you say that you'd love to see Atlantis blooming with red roses one day?" Stanley asked.

Tears started to fill up her eyes again, and soon she was weeping helplessly. "I did mention that, but I was just joking. How could you take that seriously?"

"I'll remember everything you say even if it's a joke. Xyla, I promise that I will fulfill all your dreams." The man's eyes only expressed sincerity as he spoke. "As long as it's something you want, I'll risk anything to bring it to you."

Chapter 664

Chapter 664

Following that statement, Stanley Batton slowly kissed away the tears sliding down her cheeks.

His confession deeply touched Xyla. She threw her arms around the man's neck and kissed him on his lips. "Thanks for being so nice to me, Stanley." "You're my wife. Of course, I have to be nice to you."

"But turning the entire city into a rose garden in one night is such a huge project. How much did the manpower and effort cost?"

"You don't have to worry about that. All you have to do is enjoy its beauty, alright?" He continued, "Keep driving. Let's go somewhere else to see the roses."

Nodding in agreement, Xyla started her car again and drove off.

Along the way, all that came into her view was a sea of roses.

"As you can see, the roses are now planted in pots. I'll have people to move all of them to the soil later on. In the future, you'll see flowers blooming all over the city when spring comes," Stanley said again. Emotions welled up inside Xyla, and she could barely get a hold of herself.

The further she drove, the deeper she sank in her mixed feelings.

Everything in front of her seemed like a dream to her.

Xyla knew that the love she received from Stanley was irreplaceable.

He was willing to do anything for her simply because he loved her.

Even if this was Atlantis!

The flourishing metropolis of Country Z.

As the car traveled around the city, Xyla saw many citizens taking pictures with the red roses on the streets. They looked as excited as her.

"Stanley... Why are you so kind to me?"

"Because you deserve it."

As he spoke, he slid his fingers between hers and clasped them tightly.

Xyla held his hand with delight and continued to drive along the highway with one hand on the steering hand.

After strolling around the city, the lovebirds returned to Quest Property Group satisfactorily.

What the man said earlier was true.

Red roses now surrounded the whole city, and the view was spectacular indeed. Everyone in Atlantis was stunned by the changes overnight.

Buzz buzz buzz...

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the company, Xyla's phone vibrated.

A news headline popped up on the screen, "Who turned Atlantis into a floral garden overnight?"

Xyla's soft lips stretched into a sweet smile when she read that. She brought her phone to Stanley's eyes and shook it happily. "It's on the news."

Stanley responded smilingly, "What did the news say?"

Immediately, Xyla retrieved her phone and tapped on the news. A long paragraph described the city's beauty with a picture of the red roses at the roadside attached beneath it.

"This morning, I was informed that the whole Atlantis was now blooming with red roses. When I heard the news, my first reaction was, 'How is that possible?'. It must have been a grief mistake. "Subsequently, I got into my car and drove around Atlantis to find out the truth. I had to eat my words. Red roses were seriously everywhere in Atlantis. Amused by the view, I instantly contacted the Atlantis municipal department.

"The municipal department explained that it all started with a man whose wife loved red roses. In the case of the department's consent, the man had planted red roses all over the city overnight.

"I'd like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt jealousy to the little princess of this beautiful love story. I'm so envious of you, girl!!! Besides, I really do respect the man's effort in surprising her wife. You nailed it!"

Every sentence and every word in the paragraph was permeated with shock and envy.

Though Xyla had never met the editor of the article in person, she could feel the impact of Atlantis's changes on him.

"The person who wrote the article said that he was jealous of me, and he complimented that you're cool..." Xyla said truthfully.

The man remained silent. He ran his fingers through her hair gently.

Chapter 665

Chapter 665

Xyla Quest scrolled down to the comment section.

As expected, the comment section had exploded with excitement.

Though it had only been ten minutes since the article was posted, the number of comments beneath it had already reached one million.

"???? What the heck??? I'm too poor to relate to that man. How rich does one have to be to do this? He reminds me of the guy who kept fireworks going on all night. They're really one of a kind!"

"I seriously suspect that he's the same person as the firework guy. If that's the case, I might start to believe in true love."

"This man is the typical 'someone else's husband'. I wonder who is the heroine of this incident. She must have burst into tears now."

"The money spent on these roses could've been donated to the needy. These rich people are too selfish!"

"Dude, can you stop being so salty? How do you know they've never donated money to the needy?"

"Oh my god! They're the fairytale prince and princess in real life! How I wish I could be the girl so I can have her husband!"

Everyone in the comment section was astonished by their beautiful love story.

After a brief look at the comments, Xyla exited the app.

"I have to go back to my office now. Have a good day at work, alright?" Stanley Batton said.

"Okay."

Then, Stanley kissed her.

He gave her a passionate, lingering kiss.

It lasted for a long time before he reluctantly released her and got out of her car.

After the man left, Xyla quickly got out of the car and strode into the company.

As soon as she entered the company, she overheard the two young girls' conversation at the reception desk. The two of them were chattering about the roses along the streets.

"I wonder who's so rich to have roses blooming all over the city. Do you have any idea how much it cost?"

"That's not the point. The man is spoiling her wife to the extreme! She must be really happy to be his wife."

"If I get to live a life like this, even if it's just for a day, then I'll die with no regrets at all." Upon hearing that, Xyla could feel her lips curling upward as she broke into a bright smile.

She did not interrupt them. She made her way to the elevator in silence, trying to keep a low profile.

Upon reaching her office, the first thing Xyla did was pulling out her phone to take a look at today's trending news. She found that the subject regarding the roses in Atlantis was on the top of the trending list in just a few hours.

On the top of the trending list was #Roses Blooming For You#.

It was followed by #Atlantis Red Roses#.

Scrolling down, the fourth hot topic was #The Girl Behind the Flower-filled City#.

The sixth, #Atlantis#.

Finally, the eighth, #Who Are The Protagonists Of the Flower-filled City?#

One after another, Xyla tapped to open the hot topics and went through all of them. As written on the eighth hot topic, everyone was curious about the man and his wife's identities. They were sharing their wild guesses on the internet exhilaratingly.

Some of them even listed down all the billionaires in Atlantis, analyzing and excluding them one by one.

As a result, the netizens' comments on each hot topic were snowballing.

The comment sections were filled with intense jealousy toward Xyla, and the shock resulted from the flower-filled city.

On top of that, the netizens even gave her-the heroine of the flower-filled city-a nickname, 'The Internet's Most Envied Women'.

After scrolling through these hot topics, Xyla shifted her attention to the other news on the trending list.

Buzz buzz buzz... Once again, her phone vibrated.

Chapter 666

Chapter 666

When Xyla Quest saw that the call was from Georgie Clementine, she immediately picked it up.

"Did you see the trending topics? Someone has actually decorated the entire city of Atlantis with roses for his wife." Georgie sounded somewhat shocked. "Yeah. I saw it," Xyla said and chuckled.

"This man is really rich. I'm impressed," Georgie said.

"Yeah," Xyla replied calmly.

"Why do you sound so calm? Aren't you curious at all?" Georgie asked.

"Yeah, I'm not curious." Xyla smiled deeply.

"Could you happen to know who he is?" Georgie asked with a sense of curiosity.

"Yeah, I do..." Xyla said.

"Who is it?" Georgie asked.

"Stanley Batton..." Xyla said.

"What? It's actually him?" Georgie was utterly stunned.

Xyla remained silent with a calm expression on her face.

"He must really love you to go this far, President Xyla. You ought to appreciate him," Georgie said.

"Yeah."

After chatting with Georgie for a while, Xyla hung up the phone.

She then continued to browse the trending topics a little bit before immersing herself completely in work.

At the same time, the news about flowers being decorated all over the city was still increasing in popularity on the internet. Everyone was now focused on it.

However, without the main male and female characters being revealed up until now, everyone became increasingly curious.

At noon, after finishing all her work, Xyla picked up her phone. She decided to have lunch at the cafeteria downstairs.

Right then, she noticed several more news articles on her phone screen.

The new articles were all related to the flowers decorated all over the city.

Xyla directly erased all the news from her notification screen. After that, she took the elevator down to the staff's cafeteria.

Since it was lunchtime, the cafeteria was very crowded.

At one glance, she could see many people walking around.

Meanwhile, most of the employees in the company were talking about the flowers all over the city.

They all seemed unusually excited when they discussed the topic.

"We still haven't found out who the couple is. Everyone is still trying to guess on Weibo."

"Who do you think that lucky girl is? I'm awfully curious."

"She must be a pretty woman who saved the world in her past life."

"I'm absolutely jealous! Who'd have thought something that seemed like it happened only in drama series could happen in real life?"

Xyla had heard people saying things like this very often. Hence, she remained completely unaffected.

While listening to these discussions, she continued to walk over to the self-service area. She picked up a plate and started filling it with food.

At the self-service area, the eight most popular dishes from around the country were served.

Xyla chose the simplest dishes, including fried eggs with tomatoes, crispy chicken wings, braised chicken, and fried rice with eggs.

After that, she walked to a table with two seats and started eating.

While she ate, there were occasionally employees who greeted her.

She politely greeted each of them in return.

Although the male employees were all captivated by her beauty, they only dared to greet her.

To them, Xyla was way out of their league. She might seem down-to-earth, but there was no way they could get any closer.

Halfway through the meal, Jeremy walked over to Xyla with a plate of food and a smile on his face. He sat down in front of her.

Chapter 667

Chapter 667

"Xyla... Did you get in touch with the designer I told you about?" Jeremy Quest asked.

"The designer hasn't been free for the past two days. The sketch will commence in two days," Xyla Quest said.

Jeremy immediately nodded satisfactorily.

"Did you sign a contract with the designer?" Jeremy asked.

"This designer doesn't require any payment," Xyla said.

"Who is it? I can't believe someone would forgo payment..."

"Once the drawing is complete, you'll be able to see the style. You'll find out why," Xyla said.

Jeremy became even more curious when he heard what Xyla said. "Does that mean this designer's art style is very unique, and the person is also very famous?" Jeremy asked. "You can say that." Xyla chuckled.

"Do famous designers even provide free drawings? That's a huge project. It requires a lot of effort," Jeremy said.

"We have a good relationship, so..."

"Xyla, you really are amazing," Jeremy said. He grew even more fond of Xyla now.

"Dad, since you have entrusted me with the project, don't worry. Hurry up and eat," Xyla said.

Jeremy didn't say anything else. He picked up his chopsticks and started eating with Xyla.

"Beep, beep, beep..." Right then, Xyla received a call from Georgie.

Since it was too noisy in the cafeteria, and the call would be affected here, Xyla quickly stood up and walked out with her phone before answering it. "President Xyla, something's gone wrong!" Georgie sounded very nervous.

"What's wrong?" Xyla's heart clenched instantly.

"Josh Batton was trying to shake off someone who was tailing his car. He ended up speeding on the highway and got into an accident..." Georgie said.

Xyla's heart immediately thumped when she heard this. "What? Is it serious?" she asked.

"I don't know yet. He's out cold. They're trying to resuscitate him inside," Georgie said.

Right then, all Xyla could feel was her head buzzing.

"Which hospital is he at?" she stood up and asked.

"The municipal hospital," Georgie said.

Xyla picked up her car keys from the table and quickly ran out.

The only thing on her mind now was for Josh to be alright.

Xyla felt extremely nervous, and it made her heart beat faster.

As soon as she got into the car, she gave Stanley Batton a call to tell him what had happened. Before he could respond, Xyla started driving toward the municipal hospital. "Beep, beep, beep..." Suddenly, her phone started ringing again.

After quickly taking her phone out, she saw a news headline on the screen-

"Josh Batton got into an accident while trying to avoid followers. He's now in a coma!"

After glancing at the headline, Xyla quickly chucked her phone into her pocket and drove quicker.

Very soon, she arrived in front of the hospital.

She continued to run into the elevator before arriving on the floor of the emergency room section.

From afar, she could see that a large group of reporters had gathered. There were also Josh's fans.

The security guards were doing their best to maintain order outside the emergency room.

Georgie was also there, and she was sitting on a long bench with a sullen expression on her face as she looked downward.

When Georgie looked up, she saw that Xyla had arrived.

She immediately got up, walked through the crowd, and brought Xyla over to the long bench before sitting down with her.

Xyla subconsciously held Georgie's hand as she panted. "How are things? Is there any news about what's going on inside?"

Georgie shook her head. "Up until now, nobody has come out yet. Hence, we still don't know what's the situation. President Xyla, I'm very worried. What if something terrible happens to Josh?"

Chapter 668

Chapter 668

After finishing her sentence, Georgie Clementine frowned unhappily. "Those fans are the ones at fault. You have no idea. After Josh and I left the airport, they were following us all the way. To get rid of them, Josh was forced to get onto the highway. In the end, they followed us there and even went as far as speeding to catch up. That's when he accidentally drove the car into the railing. His head collided against the steering wheel, and he immediately passed out..."

After hearing that, Xyla carefully looked at Georgie. "What about you? Are you alright?"

"I'm fine..." Georgie shook her head before moving her wrist a little. "I only hurt my wrist a little, but the doctor checked it and said it's fine..."

Xyla finally relaxed.

While the two of them were speaking, the door to the emergency room slowly opened.

A doctor walked out.

When Xyla saw him, she immediately pulled Georgie by the hand and stood up.

"How did it go? Doctor? Is he alright?" they asked at the same time.

"He's had a minor concussion that resulted in a temporary coma. There's nothing wrong with the rest of his body. He should be able to leave after a period of observation. We're thinking of keeping him here so that he can rest for a week. After that, he can be discharged," the doctor said.

When Xyla and Georgie heard this, they finally sighed in relief.

Right then, countless men dressed in black arrived near the group of people.

They then began ushering the group of people aside.

Stanley Batton quickly walked over to Xyla and looked at the doctor.

"What happened? Is he alright?" Stanley asked.

"He suffered a minor concussion. Everything else is fine. He can be discharged after resting in the hospital for a short period," Xyla said.

"Give him the best medicine and the best treatment," Stanley looked at the doctor and said.

The doctor instantly nodded. "Of course. You don't have to worry," the doctor said before turning around and entering the emergency room once more.

After approximately ten minutes, Josh was wheeled out by a group of medical staff.

His clothes had already been replaced with a white-and-blue-striped patient gown. He was in a state of coma, and his face seemed pale.

Even so, he still looked very handsome.

At that moment, reporters and fans all started getting excited. They began trying to get close to Josh.

The security guards and Stanley's men dressed in black quickly formed a barrier to prevent these people from getting close.

Xyla, Stanley, and Georgie quickly escorted Josh into a VIP ward along with several medical staff.

After making sure Josh was alright, the medical staff left.

Outside the ward, security guards and the men dressed in black were still trying hard to maintain order. The reporters and fans were getting increasingly wild. Right then, Josh slowly opened his eyes.

Suddenly, he felt pangs of pain from his head to the rest of his body. He frowned uncomfortably as he tried to move his head to look around.

The first person Josh saw was Xyla, followed by Stanley and Georgie.

When he saw them, he immediately forced himself to sit up despite the pain. "Am I alright?" he asked, and his pale lips moved ever so slightly. "You suffered a minor concussion. After some rest, you'll be fine..." Xyla shook her head.

Chapter 669

"Georgie, cancel all his appointments for the upcoming week. Make sure he gets plenty of rest for now," Xyla Quest turned to look at Georgie Clementine and said. Georgie nodded.

"Georgie... Don't let him drive in the future," Xyla said with a serious expression.

"Also, when he returns from events in the future, make sure there are enough bodyguards to protect yourselves," Xyla added.

"She didn't make me drive. I requested for it. Also, I asked for the bodyguards to not be around," Josh Batton explained in a serious tone.

When Xyla heard this, she immediately frowned. "Josh, how could you be so reckless? I won't allow you to behave like this again. Do you have any idea what might have happened to you if things got more serious today?" Xyla said.

"Okay. I won't do it again," Josh said and nodded obediently.

"Beep, beep, beep..." Right then, Stanley Batton's phone rang.

He immediately picked up the call.

"Fifth Master, we've already caught all of them," Zack Cassidy said.

When Stanley Batton heard this, he immediately hung up the phone and looked at the rest. “Those fans and their drivers have all been brought to the police station. The law will punish them..." "Okay." Xyla frowned slightly.

"Thank you, Brother. Sorry for the trouble," Josh said.

"If you are sorry for troubling me, stop making me worry in the future," Stanley retorted.

"Okay," Josh said.

"These fans are really giving us a headache. Regardless of how hard we try to stop them, and how many of them we put in jail, they still can't be stopped. These people are crazy." Georgie felt very agitated when she spoke about this.

"This is the price one has to pay for becoming famous," Josh said and let out a long sigh.

"That's why you need to have more bodyguards around you. Also, you must be more serious about taking precautionary measures when traveling further away for work," Xyla said with the same serious expression on her face.

"Yeah," Georgie responded equally seriously.

"I bet this is all over the internet on Weibo and other news applications..." Xyla said before taking her phone out to check out Weibo.

'#Josh Batton in a coma after an accident caused by fans#' was on the first spot on the list of trending topics. There was the word 'explosive' behind the headline.

'#Josh Batton is out of the emergency room#' was on the second spot. There was also the word 'explosive' behind the headline.

Xyla briefly browsed through the topics. In both of them, details of how Josh got into a car accident and how he was brought to the hospital were all written in detail.

In both the comment sections, Josh's fans and other netizens left many comments...

They were all criticizing the fans while also praying for Josh's recovery.

Meanwhile, one of the crazy fans' Weibo account had also been exposed by netizens. There were a bunch of Weibo screenshots.

"He just came out of the airport. It looks almost as if there's a halo surrounding him. His every move and smile are beautiful. To see him, I waited here at the airport all day and night."

"Josh Batton, do you have any idea how much I love you? I wish I could stay by your side all the time. I want to be your dog."

"Josh Batton, I'm here... I will find a way to keep you by my side, even if it's only a second."

"I don't know what kind of woman you like. If you end up falling for a girl in the future, I think I will disfigure her face with sulfuric acid."

"I really want to live in your house. I'd kiss every inch of ground you've walked on. I'd breathe the air you breathe. I'd even use the towel you've used before."

All these perverse sentences were making Xyla feel extremely uncomfortable.

Even if Xyla had witnessed many things in the entertainment industry, she'd never met a fan so crazy as this woman.

Chapter 670

Chapter 670

In fact, Xyla Quest had no idea what these crazy people had on their minds.

Stanley Batton glared coldly at Xyla's phone screen. He then pulled Xyla over to sit on the couch.

Stanley crossed one leg over the other as he looked at Josh. "Now that things have gotten this far, our parents are bound to find out."

"Yeah. I know. Dad will definitely nag at me again..." Josh Batton said while placing a hand against his forehead.

"Deal with it on your own," Stanley said and frowned a little.

"Okay," Josh said.

"I have work. I'll leave now... " Stanley stood up after that.

"I'll stay here for a while. Go ahead..." Xyla said.

Stanley nodded slightly before walking away.

Not long after Stanley left, Sharon Lindt and Jeremy Quest arrived.

Unlike what the others had expected, Sharon and Jeremy only asked about Josh's wound. They didn't nag him about anything else, but they both seemed unhappy.

The two of them sat in the ward for a while before leaving together.

After Georgie sent them off, she began answering questions from reporters. She provided details about Josh's condition.

To avoid disturbing Josh and the other patients from resting, Georgie invited all the reporters and fans down to the main lobby.

Xyla closed the door and returned to her seat by the bed. "Apart from your head, are you hurting anywhere else?" she asked. "Hmm, not really. Thanks for your concern, Sister-in-law." Josh smiled warmly. His gaze seemed equally gentle. "That's my job," Xyla said.

"I'm really sorry for making you worry," Josh added.

"As long as you're fine. Stop talking about these things now. Don't be so reckless in the future," Xyla said.

"Okay, I won't." Josh nodded.

"Have you had lunch?" Xyla asked seriously.

"Not yet. I'm not hungry," Josh said.

"I'll order some food for you now. What would you like?" Xyla asked.

"I'm not hungry," Josh said.

"You must eat something now," Xyla said sternly.

"Fine."

"What do you want to eat?" Xyla asked.

"Anything will do."

Xyla didn't say anything further. She called a five-star hotel to order some herbal porridge and a plain dish for Josh.

Emily Quest, who was dressed up like a nurse outside, overheard their conversation clearly.

Was her idol so obedient to Xyla Quest? Emily felt as if she was going insane from being jealous! The man of her dreams was not only friends with Xyla, but he even listened to her commands. How could Xyla do that?

Was it because Josh really liked Xyla?

When Emily thought of these things, she felt even more upset.

Suddenly, she recalled what she read on Weibo earlier regarding Josh's crazy fan...

That person mentioned that she would disfigure the person Josh liked with sulfuric acid.

When Emily thought of this, she instantly broke into a smile.

"Which department are you from?" One of the nurses came over and asked Emily.

Emily immediately chuckled. "I'm from the thoracic surgery department. I just wanted to check on him."

"Hurry up and leave. Don't bother the patient who's trying to rest," the nurse instantly waved Emily off. Emily immediately nodded and walked away.

After leaving the level Josh's ward was on, Emily removed her nurse outfit and tossed it in the trash can. She then quickly took the lift and left.

This time, she was only here to check on Josh's condition.
