Chapter 552


    Now, Bailey Ronson felt genuinely remorseful.


    If she had known this would happen, she wouldn’t have messed with X Quest right here and


    then!


    “If you do that, the Sullivan family is done for… I’ll never be happy in this lifetime again,” Bailey said


    as tears filled her eyes.


    Stanley Batton slowly held X’s hand and pulled her into his arms before ruffling her hair gently.


    “Whoever makes my wife unhappy for even a moment will be unhappy for the rest of his or her life.”


    Julian Sullivan, Tom Sullivan, Emily Quest, and May Conner were all dumbfounded.


    They knew that Stanley’s decision would very likely cause the Sullivan family’s business to cease


    operating for good.


    Even if that didn’t happen, many of Sullivan Group’s subsidiaries would copse.


    The group’s size would surely contract.


    Julian instantly wheeled himself over to Stanley and begged him. “I sincerely apologize on behalf of


    my mother. I hope you can take back what you said.”


    “Everyone must pay for their actions,” Stanley said coldly without a hint of warmth on his face.


    Right then, he had an imposing aura that intimidated everyone around him, especially those who


    cursed at him and X.


    These people wished they could bury themselves in a hole right then.


    X was very touched by Stanley’s behavior. Apart from doing this to make her feel better, X


    knew Stanley also did this to help her establish a more prominent status in the upper-ss.


    “Mr. Henry, why haven’t I ever heard my grandfather talk about you?” Stanley slowly shifted his


    gaze to Henry and asked.


    Henry quickly wiped his sweat away. “I’ve never heard Doctor Batton mention having a grandson


    like you either. In fact, he never told me that the Batton family was this powerful.”


    Henry truly had no idea!


    The surrounding guests all rolled their eyes at Henry.


    “I bet you are working with Bailey Ronson to tarnish X’s reputation. I can’t believe someone who


    works in charity would do such a disgusting thing.”


    “It really is disgusting. Bailey Ronson, are you shameless? You have even dragged Henry along to


    make false usations just so that everyone would believe you.”


    “Sullivan Group is very unlucky to have someone like you as its president’s wife.”


    Everyone began saying things to please Stanley and X.


    Henry instantly stood up with a worried expression on his face. “I’m really not making any of this up.


    Whatever I said was true.”


    Stanley red at Henry coldly. “I’ll deal with youter.”


    Since this was a dinner organized by Stanley’s father-inw, he didn’t want to steal the spotlight. It


    was about time the charity dinner resumed its original program.Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.


    With that, Stanley looked over at the empty stage and stood up while holding X’s hand and


    raising his ss to everyone present. “I’m very sorry for causing such a big scene during an event


    like this. X and I would like to apologize to everyone with a toast.”


    Everyone got to their feet and raised their sses to Stanley and X.


    They then emptied their sses.


    Julian and Bailey, who stood next to Stanley, were beingpletely ignored.


    Stanley didn’t even look at them.


    Bailey quickly wheeled Julian away from where Stanley and X stood. As she did so, she


    whispered into Julian’s ear. “Julian, don’t panic. Once the gathering is over, I’ll beg Stanley once


    more… For now, nothing we say will make a difference because they are still angry.”


    Julian looked at Bailey with a cold frown. “Mother, why are you doing this?”


    Bailey quickly wiped her sweat away with an apologetic expression on her face. “I’m sorry. I didn’t


    think things would turn out like this.”


    Julian frowned without saying anything.


    After the toast, Stanley slowly put his ss down. “Everyone, please proceed with the evening as


    nned. The show will go on,” he said.
