Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest) -
Chapter 514
A headline popped out on the phone screen. It was about the fireworks at Rosales Manor that had been going on the whole night.
Apparently, the fireworks at Rosales Manor had become the top trending topic right now. It was going haywire in the country.
In addition to the description of the beautiful fireworks throughout the night, the news had begun a widespread speculation about the identity of the owner of Rosales Manor, as well as the reason he or she was doing it.
The news editor had listed down all the nobilities in Atlantis to replace out the owner's real identity, and the list included the young master of Dragon Group.
As for a reason, the owner kept the fireworks going all night long around Rosales Manor, the news editor guessed that the owner was trying to woo his beloved with the fireworks.
Moreover, countless netizens were sharing their opinions on this matter in the comment section below.
"If the owner is really doing it for a girl, I can't deny that I'm so envious of that girl."
"So this is how the romantic love life of a rich man looks like? Love it! Love it! But isn't that against the rules? That's illegal, right? I thought we're not allowed to set off fireworks?"
"I can smell strong jealousy from you all men. The fireworks are not banned in the district where Rosales Manor is located, alright? I'm so speechless."
"I'm focusing on something totally different from the rest of you. You're all curious about the identity of the owner of Rosales Manor but I'm wondering who that beauty is. I would love to take her home." "Seriously? Going through all the trouble just to woo a beauty? This man must have gone mad. He's very much like the ancient emperor."
"The one above me, you're just jealous, aren't you?"
Xyla Quest did not notice it, but a smile had started forming on her face again as she scrolled through the comments.
Noticing the changes in her expressions, Stanley Batton stepped close to take a look at her phone screen.
After he read some of the comments, he smiled too. Stretching his arms, he held Xyla by her hand and walked her to the living room sofa. He then pulled Xyla onto his laps and rested his chin on her shoulder, reading the comments together with her.
After scrolling through the comment sections, Xyla slowly leaned her head back and stared at Stanley's perfect jawline. Her other hand proceeded to gently stroke his hair. "The fireworks at Rosales Manor... went viral on the internet."
"I know." His emotionless eyes met hers. Taking the phone from Xyla's palm, he threw the phone aside and kissed her lips. Then, he went on with a couple of soft and light kisses. Though their lips had just barely touched, Xyla could feel her heart racing so fast as if it was going to pound out of her chest the very next second.
"Do you like that manor?" He asked.
"Well... It's beautiful." Xyla answered truthfully.
"I'll ask Zack Cassidy to transfer it to your name tomorrow," said Stanley without hesitation.
Upon hearing that, Xyla instantaneously rolled her eyes and seriously glared at his face. "Stanley Batton, are you going to give me whatever belongs to you just because I like them?"
"Yes."
Hearing that Stanley was willing to sacrifice everything for her warmed Xyla's heart. She continued to tease him. "What if I like your company?"
Stanley responded, "I'll give it to you after I have completely taken over the company."
The man's answer was totally out of her expectations.
It was Dragon Group. Several generations of the Batton family had poured their heart to run that company.
"Nah I don't want it. I have X Entertainment. Quest Property Group will be mine as well in the future. I'm not short of companies." Xyla was not really interested in Dragon Group.
"Even if X Entertainment and Quest Property Group combined, and their values are multiplied by a hundred, Dragon Group is still worth more than that. Are you dumb?" Stanley joked, his smile was so wide it reached his eyes.
"Are you dumb then? You know how much the company is worth, and you're planning to give me after you take over it?" Xyla retorted softly.
"You're my wife. Isn't it normal that I give you my properties?" His gaze remained as indifferent as usual.
"But that's Dragon Group..."
"Hmm... So what?"
"Generations of your family's hard work."
"Well, I trust you." With that out of the way, he lifted her up in his arms and carried her all the way upstairs.
"I don't want anything from you. Stop giving me anything of yours."
"I'm the one who decides what to do with my properties."
"I have the right to refuse your offer."
"No, you don't." He sounded dominating, he would not accept any refusal or rejection.
"Stanley Batton, you're so domineering."
