Chapter 1151


    In the next second, X Quest’s heart started beating wildly…


    “Honey… I really like the way you look when you’re shy.” Stanley Batton’s smile gradually widened.


    “Really?” X asked.


    “Yeah. Apart from how you look when you’re shy, I also like…” Stanley trailed off.


    “What else do you like?” X asked.


    “I like you in every way,” Stanley said in the most affectionate tone despite his serious facial


    expression.


    At this moment, X felt very touched. “You… Stop speaking, will you?”


    “Okay.”


    “Shut up,” X said.


    “Alright.” Stanley’s eyes were filled with affection.


    Beep, beep, beep—


    Right then, Stanley’s phone started ringing.


    He immediately nced at the screen.


    When Stanley saw that the call was from the Vice President, Liam Smith, he calmly picked it up.


    X felt a little bored. Hence, she walked over to the window and looked out at the night scenery as


    the cold breeze blew against her.


    Although the night scenery of the small city wasn’t as busy and crowded as Antis, it was very


    peaceful.


    At one nce, there were very few people and cars on the road. It was very calming to watch.


    However, since X was used to therge city, she still felt a little not used to the empty streets.


    After approximately ten minutes, Stanley’s call ended, and he walked up to her from behind.


    Immediately after that, Stanley reached out and naturally hugged her in his arms as he gently


    pressed his chin against her shoulder.


    His warm breath blew against the back of her ear and neck.


    It felt as if countless electric currents were cruising through her body. Suddenly, X felt her heart


    rate speeding up numbingly.


    “Liam gave me a call…” Stanley said.


    “What did he say?” X asked.


    “He found out all about what happened to us at the jade mine. He said he didn’t know that person at


    all. His wife, Reba, only has a very normal rtionship with that person’s elder sister…


    “He didn’t give that person the permission to set up a mine here and harvest resources. The person


    also confessed in the police station that, after arriving here, he started doing all sorts of things using


    Liam’s name…


    “The officers here had all turned a blind eye to what he did because they were concerned with his


    rtionship with Liam.


    “Liam has already given the order to punish that man. Reba agreed to it too…” Stanley


    exined.


    “Okay…” X replied calmly.


    When what happened at the jade mine today was brought up, she felt a little disgusted.


    “Liam also apologized to me… He felt very sorry,” Stanley added.


    “This has nothing to do with him. He’s very innocent too…” X said.


    When X put himself in Liam’s shoes, she felt that he probably wanted to kill that man…

    What on earth was going on?


    “Yeah… I said that too. He’s not to be med for this,” Stanley said.


    X nodded gently…


    Beep, beep, beep—


    Right then, X’s phone started to ring once more.


    The content that appeared on her phone screen filled her eyes with shock.
