When Stanley Batton heard this, he immediately walked over to Xyla Quest and sat down next to her. “Are you feeling better?” he asked carefully.
Xyla nodded. “Yeah. I feel bored being at home all the time. I want to go out for a walk…”
Xyla had spent the entire day at home with Sharon Lindt.
She really wanted to go outside for some fresh air and to breathe in the air of freedom.
“Alright… Let’s go out now… It’s cold outside. Put on a thicker jacket…” Stanley said.
“Okay,” Xyla replied.
“Where would you like to go?” Stanley asked carefully.
“Let’s just go for a drive…” Xyla said.
“Okay,” Stanley said.

After heading upstairs to change into a thicker knitted sweater, Xyla left the house with Stanley.
Stanley drove Xyla aimlessly around in his black Bugatti Veyron.
To ensure Xyla’s safety, Stanley drove very slowly.
The night scenery outside was beautiful.
The sky was full of stars, and there were flowers in the trees…
“Are you feeling unwell?” Stanley asked carefully after driving for a while.
Xyla shook her head and rolled down the window halfway. “No… I feel much better after coming out for some fresh air.”
When Stanley heard this, he immediately lifted his hand and gently ruffled Xyla’s hair in a satisfied manner. “That’s great…”
Upon arriving in the city, the traffic ahead suddenly came to a halt.
The entire road was blocked by traffic.
That person’s outfit, hair, and physique resembled that of Nancy Jules…
Meanwhile, Nancy, who was angrily making a call to the police, also saw Stanley standing not too far away when she turned around.
Although the light at night was very dim, and there were many people and cars on the road, she could still spot him at first glance.
Just like how they were back in high school…
Stanley always stood out like a crane amidst a group of chickens.
He was always the most handsome person.
When Nancy saw Stanley, she quickly walked toward him. “What a coincidence… Since this happened, help me out… Those fellows keep bullying me and won’t let me leave. They even asked me to compensate them…” She explained.
“What happened?” Stanley asked.
“I was driving just fine. Those drunkards suddenly appeared. They even ran the red light… And crashed into me…
“They aren’t sober. Now, they won’t let me leave, and they’re asking me to compensate them with money… They are all very influential people, and they’re calling their boss. That boss…” Nancy said in a huff.
