Chapter 440


    “President X told me to stay and take care of her until she fully recovers.” Georgie Clementine


    smiled.


    “Sure.” Stanley turned around and headed upstairs. He did not say another word.


    “I’ve prepared dinner. Come eat in a bit.” Georgie said while she looked at his back.


    He did not reply and continued walking.


    As he walked past the master bedroom, he stared at the closed door for a moment before returning


    to his own room.


    Georgie had made six dishes. There was a dish of stir-fried baby vegetables, braised sea


    cucumbers, some cordyceps soup, boneless chicken feet, pork ribs, and stir-fried cabbages.


    Just as the three of them were about to sit together at the dining table, Stanley Batton’s phone rang.


    The person calling was Catherine Batton.


    He ced a small helping of stir-fried baby vegetables—which was X’s favorite—in X’s bowl


    before getting up and standing at a corner near a window. Looking out the porch, he answered the


    call.


    “What is it?”


    “Fifth brother, I’m in trouble…”


    “What happened?”


    “Mom’s found out that I’ve secretly returned from overseas. She just called me and she wants to


    meet up with me immediately. What should I do?”


    “Go meet her at home first. I’ming over now.” He pinched the bridge of his nose as he sighed.


    X overheard his conversation and her heart sank.


    Nothing in her mouth tasted good anymore.


    She couldn’t help but take a peek at his back asplicated feelings arose from inside her.


    Was it his girlfriend who had just called?


    They must have had a good rtionship if he was willing to meet up with her at any time.

    She knew she shouldn’t be bothered by it. She knew that she had to keep her feelings in check, but


    it still bothered her no matter what she did.


    After hanging up the phone, Stanley turned toward the dining table and looked at X, “You guys


    eat without me. I have some matters to attend to. I’m in a hurry so I need to leave now.”


    He did not wait for X to respond and immediately left the house.


    X bit on her chopstick, frowning and clearly irked by what just took ce.


    Georgie patted her on the shoulder, trying tofort her.


    X forced a smile and continued eating dinner.


    “You know, the Teenage Idol program is a hot trend right now. It’s the number one thing on the


    inte right now…” Georgie tried to change the topic.


    “Yeah.”


    “Also, I forgot to tell you. Two days ago I talked with Morty Wayne and Jay Corben about the


    business n. They agreed and they’ll be following our ns,” Georgie said.


    “That’s good news.” X smiled, “Let’s continue to go ording to our ns.”


    Georgie nodded. “Yes... I believe that this method will allow them to get popr very, very soon.”

    A car stopped in front of a six-story vi courtyard.


    Catherine paid the driver and got down the car, trembling.


    The driver was shocked to see such a luxurious house. Slightly unwillingly, he turned his car around


    and drove off.


    “Rich people are truly something else… Normal humans like us could never get close to them…”


    the drive muttered to himself as he drove out of the vi while admiring the view.


    Catherine took in a deep breath, sped her hands together, and prayed silently while looking


    toward the sky.


    Cautiously, she began walking into the vi.


    The living room lights were shining brightly. The house was so quiet that if a needle were to fall onto


    the ground, she would be able to hear it.


    All bad omens, as Catherine could tell.


    She slipped on some house slippers and walked into the living room.
