Chapter 470


    After reading Zack Cassidy’s reply, Stanley Batton fixed his gaze on X Quest.


    X, on the other hand, had already fallen asleep here and now.


    Meanwhile, Zack texted him again and asked, “Do you have any other questions?”


    Stanley decided to ignore the message so he threw his phone to the side and headed to the


    bathroom to wash up.


    ***


    The next morning, X was awakened by a sudden noise of the phone vibrating.


    Stanley also opened his eyes slowly and stretched his arm at the coffee table, his fingertips


    searching for his phone. He got up from the couch and shuffled to the floor-to-ceiling window to pick


    up the call.


    X sat up and casually stretched her back. She then grasped her phone and clicked open the


    news app.


    “Fifth master, Logan Dankworth, thewyer of Sullivan Food Group, had taken all the me for


    bribing the police officers.”


    “The case had escted into a huge ruckus and it went viral on the inte, garnering the attention


    of almost every citizen.”


    “As for Mary Sullivan, although she had instructed people to harm our Seventh Mistress, she didn’t


    cause any harm to her personally. Therefore, she’ll only be detained for a monthter on.”


    “The Chairman’s mistress of Sullivan Group was behind the incident. Everything was orchestrated


    by her.”


    “The President had made a call just now, hoping that we’ll put a stop to the incident before it’s


    aggravated as the matter had excessively affected the credibility of police officers.”


    Zack reported the matter to Stanley as detailed as possible, the seriousness in his tone was only


    amplified with each word he spoke.


    Stanley’s eyes only expressed calmness as he strode to the balcony and observed the heavy traffic


    on the street underneath. “Keep an eye on Mary for the next month.”


    Zack snorted in response. “Of course I will.”


    Shortly after, Stanley hung up the phone and returned to the ward.


    In the meantime, X was reading a trending news on her phone. Her attention was fully drawn to it


    such that she did not notice Stanley’s appearance at all.


    The news said that no less than forty police officers—from the police station that was in charge of


    Catherine Batton’s case—were fired for colluding with the Sullivans, perverting the course of justice.


    These police officers involved ranged from the senior officers to the police constabry.


    Furthermore, Mary Sullivan would be detained for a month as she had hired people to harm


    Catherine Batton. Last but not least, Logan Dankworth, as awyer of Sullivan Food Group, was


    sentenced to three years of imprisonment for bribing the police officers.


    Upon reading the news, X’s mood was lifted instantly, her heart leaped up for joy.


    Stepping forward, Stanley sat beside her and peeked at the screen of the phone, his face remained


    expressionless. “What would you like to have for breakfast? I’ll get it for you.”


    A smile blossomed on X’s face when she brought the phone to his eyes and shook it happily at


    him. “Did you see that? All of them have been punished.”


    Stanley’s mouth curved up into a shallow arc. “Indeed.”


    ***


    At the same time, Catherine Batton was reading about the news too in her own ward.


    Likewise, she could hardly contain her happiness to receive such good news in the morning.


    Engulfed with joy, she stretched her bodyfortably and sat up from the bed.


    Detaining Mary for a month was more than enough for her.


    It worked off her anger just by imagining Mary wailing and weeping in the jail!


    Knock knock knock… A short series of raps from the door broke the silence in the ward and


    interrupted Catherine’s thoughts.

    Catherine found herself turning to face the door subconsciously. “Pleasee in.”


    In response, the door was pushed open slightly.


    Josh Batton sneaked into the ward and locked the door immediately.


    He was wearing a grey hoodie, his hat stacked on top of the hood. His face was covered with a


    huge sunsses as well as a mask, barely exposing any of his flesh.


    His entire face was safely and perfectly covered. The only things that were visible were his hands


    which were carrying tworge bags of food.


    Nevertheless, the strong noble aura exuded from him was impossible to hide or disguise.


    “Sixth brother, why are you here?” Catherine’s eyes opened wide, attentive and brimming with


    surprise. “Aren’t you supposed to be shooting amercial overseas now?”


    She clearly remembered that her brother had informed her about that when he gave her a callst


    night to inquire about the incident.


    Strutting forward, Josh sat near the edge of her bed and slowly took off his sunsses and mask.


    He ced them on the bedside table before he answered her question. “I’m worried about you so I


    decided to pay you a visit first… I’ll be leaving in a short while.”


    Catherine felt her heart melt hearing her brother’s words. “Aww… Sixth brother, you’re so nice to


    me.”


    Josh stroked her hair gently and lovingly. “How are you? Everything’s alright?”


    Catherine nodded in response. “It’s not too bad I supposed. The pain is gone this morning.”
