Chapter 435
Before X could say no, Noah was already trying to find the kitchen.
“I’m fine Noah, there’s no need to worry about me. You can attend to your personal matters now.”
“Well alright… I’ll be taking my leave first then,” said Noah, smiling as he stood up.
While this was happening, a ck Honda pulled up to the front of the house.
In the car, Stanley Batton gave a cold stare toward Georgie Clementine who was busy directing the
workers as they carried X''s belongings into the house. He then elegantly stepped out of his car.
Slipping on some house slippers, he quickly headed to the living room.
Once he saw Noah, his eyes darkened.
Seeing Stanley, he bowed respectfully. He knew that Stanley and X were on bad terms so he
kept his mouth shut.
Stanley ignored Noah entirely and walked over to X. “You’ve already been discharged from the
hospital. Why was I not notified about this?”
He had immediately rushed to the hospital after his meeting earlier. He wanted to be the one to help
her with the discharge process and to get her home safely.
The reality was that when he arrived, he was told that she had already been discharged and had left
the hospital.
“I don’t think I need to tell you everything, do I?” X’s response was cold. "What would happen if
there was a misunderstanding?"
Stanley already had a girlfriend. If she bothered Stanley too much, his girlfriend could eventually
misunderstand his actions.
"Misunderstanding?" Stanley frowned as he looked at Noah through the corner of his eye.
What was she talking about? Was she worried about Noah misunderstanding her?
It was obvious that Noah had intentionally gone to the hospital to help her get discharged. It made
perfect sense to Stanley that Noah was the reason why she was treating him this way.
“Indeed…” X’s answer was gentle as she looked toward Noah. “Drive safely out there.”
Noah could easily sense how awkward and ufortable the situation was. He felt a chill run down
his spine. He simply nodded quickly before leaving the house.
After all, his appointment with Catherine Batton was swiftly approaching. He needed to hurry.
"What, you’re afraid if Noah misunderstands?" Stanley scoffed.
X was confused for a moment. Why would she be worried if Noah misunderstood?
What exactly was he thinking?
Bzz... bzz... Just as she was about to question him, her phone vibrated. The call was from Sharon
Lindt.
Stanley looked at her with cold eyes as he fixed his tie. He left the house shortly after.
As Stanley walked out the door, I saw Georgie carrying three big boxes of cordyceps in.
Stanley pinched the bridge of his nose before sighing. "Take good care of her."
"I will." Georgie nodded.
Saying nothing else, he hopped into his ck Honda before giving Noah a call.
Noah picked up almost immediately.
Noah’s right hand was on the steering wheel while his left held the phone close to his ear. “Is there
anything I can help with Fifth brother?”

“Noah Smith… I want to meet up and have a word with you,” said Stanley coldly.
Noah felt puzzled. First his younger sister and now Stanley himself? What was going on?
Stanley’s voice was chilling and made his hairs stand on end. “Alright but not at the moment. I have
an important meeting to attend to.”
“You’ll have one hour to attend to whatever you’re doing. Come to the address I’ll send to you
immediately after.” Before Noah could react, Stanley had hung up the phone.
A momentter, the address reached Noah’s phone.
Noah looked at the message and noticed that it was directly opposite Hilton Hotel. What a
coincidence. After his talk with Catherine, he would definitely have enough time to meet up with
Stanley.
However, this did not dismiss the questions swimming in his head. What had he done for both the
Batton siblings to suddenly have an interest in him?
