Chapter 491


    Stanley Batton snapped his phone shut and focused on marinating the steak.


    On the other hand, Sebastian Brenand and the guys continued teasing Stanley in the group for


    quite some time before they gradually calmed themselves down and discussed their gatheringter


    in the evening.


    ***


    In the blink of an eye, the twilight faded to darkness and it was already night-time.


    X Quest, who had finished her dinner, returned to her room.


    After putting on light makeup, she headed to the cloakroom and picked a ck, polka dot knee-


    length dress, matching it with a snow white suit.


    Subsequently, she put on wine red stilettos and carried a ck Chanel handbag. Satisfied with her


    own outfit, she left the house and walked to her car.


    She began to feel nervous as soon as she got into the car.


    While she was starting the car engine, she peeked at the clock and it showed seven o’clock sharp.


    This meant she would be meeting her husband in an hour.


    Would their negotiation go well today?


    Would her husband give her a hard time?


    Well, he was not that bad, right?


    Never in her life had she worried about these problems. However, they started to pop out in her


    mind right now and her heart was burdened with terrible anxiety.


    When she was about to reverse her car, her eyes caught sight of the man who was dressed in a suit


    stepping out of her house.


    The light from her car’s heamps shone brightly on the man, causing his figure to be particrly


    clear in the darkness of night.


    After tonight, she did not need to hide her feelings for this man anymore. She could finally open up


    her feelings for him…


    Right?


    The man was dressed all in ck and his hair was styled in a loose, fluffy slicked-back hairstyle,


    looking exceptionally ssy and cool. He was just like the main character from aic, stunning


    yet bossy.


    Meanwhile, Stanley’s eyebrows furrowed a little when he saw X’s car. Striding forward, he made


    his way to the driver seat and knocked on the car window.


    X lowered the car window shortly after and looked at him. “Are you going out?”

    “Yup. I’ve got ns tonight.” Stanley told her before asking, “Where are you going if you’re not


    staying home?”


    “I’ve got ns too. I’m meeting up with someone important…”


    “Can you skip the meeting?”


    “I don’t think so.”


    “Alright then. Drive safely, okay?” Stanley reminded her in earnest.


    “I will.” X closed the window and turned the car sharply, finally leaving her house.


    As she drove up to the gate, Stanley’s ck Honda caught up with her.


    Soon, the ck Honda overtook her…


    The gap between the two cars was only a few meters.


    However, the Honda managed to drive past the traffic light at the cross-intersection.


    X, on the other hand, stopped her car as the traffic light happened to turn red.


    While waiting for the traffic light to turn green, Stanley’s nk Honda became tinier and gradually


    disappeared from her line of sight.


    As she got closer and closer to the clubhouse, anxiety and guilt began to flood her soul and her


    heart was racing frantically.


    Her palms were zed with ayer of fine sweat.


    The red Maserati finally reached its destination at seven fifty.


    It pulled up at the parking space right in front of the clubhouse.


    At the same time, the parking lot was filled with cars. It was just like a luxury car show at first


    nce.


    Amongst all the branded cars there, a familiar ck Honda caught her eyes…


    Her gaze slowly shifted to the car te. Shock and bewilderment shed across her eyes when she


    saw the te number.


    Was this not Five Batton’s car? Why would hee to this ce?


    The building in front of her was one of the most high-ss clubhouses in Antis. Wealth was not


    necessarily the requirement you needed to have in order to enter the clubhouse.
