Chapter 497


    Though X Quest knew that Stanley Batton was a liar who could not be trusted at all, her heart


    softened right away as she looked at him. The exhaustion on his face was real, and so were the red


    veins in his eyes.


    For a moment, she hesitated to chase him out of the room. That would be too mean to him.


    “First of all, I apologize for lying to you. Let me introduce myself first. I’m Stanley Batton, and the


    Dragon Group belongs to my family.”


    “I’m the fifth born in my family. Besides, I’m the President, as well as the heir, of the domestic


    Dragon Group.” He recounted, the seriousness in his tone retained with each word he spoke.


    Upon hearing that, X waspletely shocked…


    He was the young master of the Dragon Group? The young master with God-like existence in the


    eyes of the citizens?


    The husband who she agreed to marry that time was such a remarkably sessful person in real


    life?


    As for her master, he was rted to Dragon Group too? Ron Batton?


    No wonder her master had never told anyone about his real name! Throughout the years, everyone


    around him would address him as either Dr. Batton or Doctor.


    The truth was, he wanted to keep a low profile because his real identity would attract unnecessary


    attention or even some unsolicitedments from the public.


    She had found out way too many secrets that were beyond her reach ever sincest night. Though


    Stanley had just told her the truth that she craved for, she felt curiously unreal, as if she were in the


    midst of a dream.


    Speechless out of shock, X remained silent on the bed and waited for him to continue his story.


    “Well the first time, which was that night, I really didn’t know who you were but I… I was interested


    in you. Therefore, I had my underling look you up.”


    “After looking up on your background, I realized you were the wife that I had never met. Because of


    that, when you asked me to pretend to be your husbandter on, I agreed to do it.”


    “That was because I wanted a reason to get close to you, a reason for me to get to know you well. I


    decided not to confess my real identity to you because I enjoyed being treated like a normal person


    by you.”


    “Besides, I thought it was a good chance for me to find out what kind of person you are and


    understand more thoroughly about you.” Stanley continued to exin the details in earnest, his


    eyes expressed only sincerity as he spoke.


    “Please trust me, X. I swear I bore no malice toward you.” He added.


    The words blurted out from his mouth, in fact, were sensible and reasonable to her.


    This man was a noble of Country Z. Due to his special identity, it was hard for him to tell if the


    people, who approached him, were doing it for his money or because they liked him in person…


    This was the reason why he decided to approach her by pretending to be an ordinary person.


    “To be frank, I’ve been thinking toe clean and exin everything to you but I didn’t manage to


    find the perfect timing. I really had no idea that Grandpa would suddenly arrange for us to meet


    yesterday evening.” Stanley sped his hands on her shoulders as he spoke.


    However, X had not recovered from all the shock and surprise. There was too much information


    for her to digest.


    Everything seemed to make sense to her now. Previously, she was very confused why the Dragon


    Group would suddenly give Quest Property Group money without seeking any benefit from them.


    She finally understood the reason behind it.


    It turned out that it was because she had the young master of Dragon Group by her side!

    No wonder she always felt that this man has a strong aura exuding from him. It painted a clear


    difference in statuspared to the others, as if he was some noble or higher-ups. After all, he


    really was.


    As she recalled all these little details of his, she was utterly convinced by everything he said. She


    did believe him.


    “Look, this is my ID card, and my family’s household register booklet.” Stanley directly took out his


    identification card as well as the household register booklet from the pocket of his suit, cing them


    in her palms.


    He was afraid that X did not trust him. Therefore, he went to hunt for these yesterday and carried


    them along with him, thinking that he could show her some proof if she refused to believe his words.


    His sincerity was undoubted and undeniable indeed.


    She took a nce at the identification card before opening the household register booklet. The


    names of every member of his family were clearly written inside the booklet.


    Other than the familiar names that she knew such as Ron Batton, Wilson Batton and Catherine


    Batton…


    She saw Josh Batton’s name!


    Josh was his brother? It was no wonder she always thought that Josh resembled him!


    Likewise, Josh had used a fake identity to involve in the entertainment industry. Just like Stanley, he


    stood up high on the socialdder.


    X could not believe her eyes at all. Everything seemed so unreal.


    “Can… Can you forgive me?” Stanley asked her carefully, “I really don’t mean any harm, X. I’m


    sorry that I’m only confessing all of this to you now.”


    Never in his life had he been so petty and low, begging for someone to forgive him.
