Chapter 662
“Got it. Keep me updated…” Stanley Batton ordered.
“Okay. By the way, Fifth Master, the mission you gave me the other day is all set now… Mistress will
definitely be surprised when she goes out this morning.”
“Okay, good…”
Stanley cracked a smile as he hung up the phone.
Putting down the phone, he continued to wash up before returning to the bedroom.
X had just woken up.
The sunlight from the french window shone brightly upon her. She looked very much like an indolent
kitten dawdling in the bed.
Her arms rested outside the nket. They were as smooth as fresh snow. Her face was fair yet
delicate, tempting Stanley to ce a kiss on it.
The enticing scene made Stanley’s muscles tense.
Seeing that Stanley had already washed up, X rubbed her eyes and stretched her body
languidly. She then rolled over to take the wristwatch from the bedside table and took a nce at
the time.
“It’s already eight o’clock… Gosh, I have to hurry up.” She had loads of work to settle today. Other
than her twopanies’ paperwork, she had to visit Team QPG’s base to train with the team
members.
Though all of them yed very well for yesterday’s game, there was still room for improvement in
their teamwork.
X sat up from the bed and casuallybed her silky ck hair with her fingers.
Stanley walked up to her, his hand subconsciously caressing her chin. “What do you want to eat for
breakfast?”
“You decide. I love everything that you make.”
“I’ll see what’s left in the fridge then. Oh right… Ada and the waitress bothmitted suicide,”
Stanley said.
X totally did not expect that to happen.
She spected that the two of them were afraid of jail, so they had decided to end their lives.
“Besides that…” Stanley told her everything about Dex Reagan.
After listening to the story, X fell into deep thoughts. “It seems like Bailey Ronson was lying to us
that day. The one who had been instructing people to investigate me isn’t Bailey, but Emily Quest.
“But Dex mentioned that Emily was going to call it quits after she got the evidence from him.
Considering that point, I think Emily really wanted to stoppeting with me…
“If that’s the case, how did Bailey know Dex? Why didn’t she approach him earlier, but right after he
had obtained the results from his investigation?”
X’s mind raced frantically, trying to analyze the plotholes that lie in Dex’s confession.
“So, Zack said that he’d abduct Emily and Bailey and question them again,” Stanley interrupted.
“Hmm… There are two possibilities now. It’s either Emily is innocent, or she’s using Bailey to keep
herself out of this matter. Maybe she came up with some ns to guide Bailey into finding Dex and
revealing everything…” X said again.
“Well, you’re right.” Stanley nodded in agreement.

“Make sure Zack interrogates them properly,” X reminded him.
“Okay.”
“Let’s not talk about that anymore. I’ll go wash up first.”
As soon as she finished her sentence, Stanley helped her put on her slippers for her and then lifted
her like a princess.
His abrupt action made X’s mind go nk. She subconsciously threw her arms around his neck
to bnce herself. “What are you doing?”
“I’ll carry you to the bathroom.”
“Stop. I can walk on my own.”
Nevertheless, Stanley insisted on carrying her to the bathroom despite her apparent refusal.
Whenever he was around, X felt like a little princess being pampered by her prince.
She was just like a precious ruby to him.
Other than her father, Stanley Batton was undoubtedly the best man she had ever met in her life.

After having breakfast, X went upstairs and changed into a pair of high heels. Satisfied with her
outfit, she left the house and prepared to go to work.
When she walked across the courtyard, she noticed that Stanley had not left yet. He was sitting
inside his ck Bentley Arnage, waiting for her.
