Chapter 355


    At this moment, Gigi Graham was eager to teach William Jones a tough lesson in front of everyone.


    But she knew she couldn’t do it. She had to put up with it, or else he would make an even bigger


    joke out of themselves.


    Although Gigi did not know why, she could see that William wasn’t behaving like his usual self.


    Immediately, Gigi turned around, grabbed her handbag, and ran out.


    However, William did not instantly run after her. Instead, he looked at Stanley Batton. “I’m sorry. My


    wife has always been like this. Please don’t take things to heart.”


    “Mr. Jones, let’s have a word,” Stanley said ndly before excusing himself from the crowd and


    stepping outside.


    William quickly followed him, closing the door swiftly behind him.


    After they all left, people in the room began discussing much more openly.


    X’s ssmates, who had observed what happened, surrounded her and began saying bad things


    about Gigi.


    X didn’t go along with what they were saying. Instead, she listened intently as her eyes kept


    wandering to the door.


    She felt very curious about why Five Batton had asked William to go outside with him. There wasn’t


    any apparent reason for Five to chat with this man on his own.


    Outside the door, Stanley took long strides to a window at the end of the walkway.


    There was a stunning view of the night scenery, full of red and green colors from the traffic lights,


    outside the window, and a continuous stream of cars on the busy road.


    Without speaking, Stanley elegantly took a cigarette out of his pocket, put it in his mouth, and lit it


    with his head lowered.


    The ignited me illuminated his face with a golden shine. Even with his head lowered, Stanley still


    seemed imposing.


    Although Stanley was not speaking, his imposing aura that came from within was enough to make


    someone feel intimidated.


    William stood behind Stanley with his head lowered respectfully as his body shivered. “Chief, I am


    truly sorry. My wife is retarded. Please don’t mind her. I’ll teach this b*tch a lesson once I get home,”


    he said.


    Stanely didn’t respond but instead took a slow puff at his cigarette before slowly exhaling the


    smoke. The smoke around him did not seem to make his face appear any warmer.


    His silence, to William, was like an invisible de that was repeatedly slicing through his flesh.


    “William…” Stanley called out. Through the surrounding smoke, Stanley’s gaze was piercing like


    that of a ruler looking down at his subjects.


    “Yes, Chief, what is it? Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it. Even if it means I have to get a


    divorce, I’ll do it,” William said.


    “Don’t reveal my identity to anyone,” Stanley ordered coldly.

    With that, Stanley gently flicked ash into the cigarette tray on a trash can by his feet.


    “Okay… Okay… I understand,” William said and nodded heavily.


    Stanley took another long puff at his cigarette without saying anything else before he stubbed it out


    and walked away.


    “Does that mean you forgive me?” William asked.


    “It has nothing to do with you,” Stanley said.


    When William heard this, he took a deep breath and wiped the cold sweat off his forehead once


    again.


    When Stanley returned to the room, things had returned to normal. Everyone was now seated at


    their respective tables.


    X was chatting with a few of the people at her table.


    Cindy Snyder and a few other girls wereplimenting X on how handsome her husband was.


    As X listened intently, she asionally said a few humble words. Clearly, Stanley had made her


    proud today.


    When X looked up, she saw Stanley walking toward her. The aura of nobility about him made


    him seem out of cepared to the noisy crowd around him.


    Bzzt, bzzt, bzzt...


    Right then, X’s phone vibrated a few times.


    Two major news appeared on her phone screen—
