StarNovelThe men downstairs kept glancing at Xyla Quest. How they wished they could sit next to her.
Yet, Xyla paid them no mind. Ignoring all the eyes upon her, she lowered her head and texted Stanley Batton. "I've arrived." Buzz buzz buzz... Suddenly, a message popped up on her screen, showing that there was a one hundred fifty million transaction into her bank card a minute ago. Her vision went blurry the moment she saw the number of zeros in the text message.
After attentively counting them several times, she was certain that it was not her imagination but a clear-cut one hundred fifty million dollars.
It must be Stanley who transferred so much money to her. She could not think of another person other than Stanley.

Though this was not the first tshe received such a valuable gift from him, she still could not get used to his oppressive habit.

You'll eventually get used to it if I send you more gifts in the future. I have to work now. Be a good girl, alright?" EL "Don't ever try to return the money to me. Otherwise, I'm not going to let you leave the bed." Upon reading the last few words, Xyla's heart raced frantically.
She subconsciously looked around her to make sure that there was no one next to her. Then, her fingers dashed across the keyboard grumpily. "Can you please get yourself together?" "Fine, fine. I better get going. Take care of yourself and cback early, okay?" "Okay," she replied, adding a kiss emoji to the end of her text message.
The man replied the sthing to her.
Then, there was no response from the man anymore.
Xyla understood that he was busy with his work. Therefore, she decided not to disturb him.
"Xyla, what are you doing?" Jeremy Quest asked curiously.
"I'm chatting with Stanley. He has just transferred one hundred fifty million dollars tojust now, asking us to bid on whatever we like boldly..." Xyla said.
When Jeremy heard that, his face lit up instantaneously. "Stan really is a filial son-in-law. Our Xyla has definitely found the right person. Daddy is happy for you." Xyla smiled. "Well, he's a nice guy indeed." "Treat him well. It's rare to meet a good husband like him nowadays," Jeremy reminded her.
Hearing that Jeremy approved her husband lifted her mood immediately. "Don't worry. I will." While the two of them were chattering, everyone else in the hall was distracted by the commotion at the entrance.
