Chapter 1184


    “Why did you stop! Keep going!” Cody Lester looked at his subordinates, who were stunned still,


    and gave the order coldly. His eyes were filled with nothing but coldness.


    After saying that, Cody walked up to X Quest and smiled. “Ms. Quest… I was just teaching this


    disobedient ve a lesson. You shouldn’t… Ahh…”


    Before he could finish his sentence, X lifted her hand and forcefully pped him across the face.


    Suddenly, everyone was stunned.


    Although intense pain spread around his face, and Cody was furious, he didn’t show it at all.


    Regardless of how mad he felt, he didn’t express anything.


    Instead, he gently rubbed his face and tried to appease X. “Ms. Quest, why are you doing this…?


    Ahh…”


    Before he could finish speaking, X lifted her leg and kicked him, flunging him a few feet away.


    Cody felt even more dumbfounded.


    Pain spread through his body. Although he wanted to get up quickly, he couldn’t.


    Hence, he stayed lying on the ground helplessly as he looked at X. “What… What did I do to


    offend you? Why are you doing this to me?”


    At first, Cody’s subordinates wanted to continue hitting Adam Shaw, but they were all stunned. They


    were all unsure of whether they should continue.


    “How dare you hit my friend?” X’s expression was cold, and her voice wasn’t loud.


    However, even so, it was enough to terrify someone.


    Hearing this, Cody subconsciously shuddered. He was frozen in ce. “What? He… He’s your


    friend?”


    By then, Adam was barely breathing on the ground.


    When Adam saw X walking over during his time of desperation, he felt that this woman’s body


    was emanating divine light.


    Right now, X was like an angel who rescued him from a near-death experience.


    Cody never expected that the person he casually tortured would have a big-boss friend like X!


    Suddenly, he was dumbfounded.


    Everybody in Antis knew that X was Stanley Batton’s sweetheart. Anyone who offended X


    would have to die.


    When Cody thought of this, he instantly looked at his subordinates. “What are you waiting for?


    Immediately help Mr. Shaw up,” he ordered.


    Cody’s subordinates quickly helped Adam get up on his feet.


    Several of Adam’s teeth had been knocked off. Right then, his mouth wouldn’t stop bleeding.


    Many open wounds on his face were also bleeding. He was a sore sight.


    With intense pain spreading continuously through his body, even standing here was a strenuous


    act.


    Seeing Adam like this made X extremely furious.


    At this moment, her twelve bodyguards directly pushed through the crowd and walked over to her.


    X immediately stepped forward and carefully held Adam’s hand. “Adam, are you alright?” she


    asked concernedly.

    Adam struggled to breathe as he ced one hand over his aching abdomen. “My internal organs


    were probably not hurt. I won’t die…” He said, bending over slightly.


    Cody, who was on the ground, finally made his way up with all his might.


    In the next second, he kneeled in front of Adam as everyone watched. He pressed his palms


    together and rubbed them against each other back and forth as he sincerely apologized. “Sorry…


    Sorry, Mr. Shaw. Please be the bigger person and forgive me.


    “Please plead on my behalf. Tell Ms. Quest to let me go. I’m just a nobody,” Cody added.


    After being arrogant for so many years, he had finally met his match today.


    Cody definitely couldn’t afford to offend X! Offending X meant offending Stanley…


    Meanwhile, offending Stanley meant nothing but death!
