“Okay, hurry on home.”
Having said that, Stanley braced the snow and walked swiftly to the roadside. The streetlights
elongated his shadow. Watching him go, Xyla immediately felt a surge of warmth in her heart.
Taking off the coat, she quickly chased after him and stuffed it into his hands. “Put this on. I’m not cold.
Why don’t I send you back? There’s no need to trouble your friend.”
“My friend will be here soon,” he said as he prepared to drape the coat over her shoulders again.
Xyla nimbly dodged away before quickly running to her red Maserati, not giving him any chances.
Staring at that slender silhouette, Stanley’s cold lips gradually curved upward slightly. After Xyla got
into her car, she disappeared into the night.
A little while after she left, a row of black Rolls-Royce stopped steadily in front of Stanley. Zack could

bowing.
Zack opened a car door for Stanley, who gave him an indifferent glance before gracefully getting in.
Leaning against the soft genuine black leather backrest, he folded his legs and flipped through
‘Foundation in Medicine’.
Zack quickly got in. Upon seeing the book in Stanley’s hands, Zack’s gaze was filled with confusion.
“Fifth Master, why are you reading that?”
“Someone told me to read it properly,” replied Stanley. His expression remained indifferent.
Zack looked curious. “Was it the Young Mistress?”
“Yeah.”
“But, uhm… ”
“Shut up!”
Zack kept quiet. Daring to say no more, he silently started the car and mused to himself, ‘Since when
did our Fifth Master become so obedient? To the point that he’s actually reading what someone told
him to read.’

When Xyla returned to Quest Manor, her phone started vibrating. After stopping the car at the entrance,
she glanced at her phone.
‘Shocking news! According to an insider, there are quality issues with Imperial Prime, the real estate
development by Quest Property. Corners were cut during construction!’
Xyla’s pupils immediately dilated at this headline.
Properties by the Quest family never had such a problem. The construction sites were always

countless times, and there had been no problems.
Xyla had great confidence in their family’s real estate developments. Now that something this vulgar
broke out so suddenly, she could only think of two possibilities.
One, the Quest family competitors were trying to attack them by stirring things up. Two, someone was
trying to mess with her, preventing her from completing the task her father had assigned her. It was a
no-brainer as to who this person would be.
She immediately went on a few of social medias and online news websites to look at the latest
searches. Sure enough, ‘Imperial Prime quality issue’ was number two on the list. That scandalous
issue about Emily was still at number one.
As soon as Xyla clicked into the news report, a slew of reproaches entered her view.
‘Is what the Quest family doing humane? How could they cut corners in something like this, are they
mad? How can Josh Batton endorse such a thing? Are they crazy?’
