Chapter 275
X sounded firm. Since Stanley refused to listen to her when she was not being assertive, she
would have to take a more assertive stance.
When the men dressed in ck heard her, they were all shocked. Each one of them felt nervous on
her behalf. X actually dared to speak to Stanley like that. Did she have a death wish?
“Alright, alright. I’ll listen to you,” said Stanley, shaking his head helplessly. There was a gentle look
in his eyes.
Covering X up with his coat, he buttoned it up for her from behind, then shifted it until the buttons
were in front. “You can put your hands through the sleeves now. It’ll feel morefortable that way.”
The men dressed in ck were stunned. They looked at one another in confusion. Was this the real
Stanley? They felt utterly confused by what was happening. Nobody had ever spoken to him like
this. When did he ever treat a woman in such a way?
“Why aren’t you getting your men to stop then?” asked X.
Stanley pinched his forehead before waving at one of the men around him. The man immediately
ran into the vi. After that, another man dressed in ck opened the car door on the other side for
Stanley.
Elegantly getting into the car and moving close to her, he asked, “Are you happy now?”
X nodded satisfactorily. “Oh, right. Did they record what happened earlier? If they did, you can
use that to threaten Tom so that he won’t make a big fuss.”
“They know what to do,” said Stanley. A faint smile appeared on his face once again.
“Oh. Thank you for saving my life. If it wasn’t for you, I’d be dead now,” said X sincerely.
“Why the formality?” Stanley asked, carefully brushing her messy hair.
“You… How did you find out something happened to me? And how did you find your way here?”
asked X. She felt curious about everything that happened.

“Because of this,” replied Stanley, slowly taking X’s phone out of his pocket. The screen of the
phone was shattered.
“When I left the house, I noticed your phone on the road and immediately sensed something was
amiss. Hence, I went to check the road surveince footage and found out that all the footage from
the time you left home was gone. I knew that something must have happened to you.”
“What happened after that?”
“I thought about it carefully. At this point, the only people who would do anything to you are the
members of the Sullivan family. I couldn’t think of anyone else. That’s why I asked someone to find
out where each of them was located. Tom Sullivan’s location was the only one I couldn’t find…”
“And then?”
X could no longer conceal her admiration for him. How could someone as smart as Stanley exist
in this world? It was such a shame he did not be a police officer who worked on cases. X
was certain that he could solve any case that existed. She felt proud to have met a man like him.
“After that, I tracked Tom down via his phone signal,” said Stanley.
He was describing everything without emotion, almost as if it was somethingpletely normal.
But, X did not think it was normal.
She gave him a thumbs up. “Amazing… You even know how to track someone down through their
phone signal!”
“Yeah… I know a few things about that,” he said.
“Is there anything in this world that you don’t know?” X asked gleefully.
“Yes.”
“For example?”
“I don’t know how to not care about you,” he said calmly before lighting a cigarette and elegantly
taking a puff.
For some reason, his words made X’s heart quiver.
“I owe you another favor,” she said with a smile.
Ever since X met him, she began to owe him favors and money. In fact, her debt to him only
continued to grow.
“I seem to owe you more and more things. How should I pay you in return?” she asked.
While X spoke, a man dressed in ck got into the car and began to drive it forward.
