After saying that, Xyla Quest picked up her phone and left the office without any further delay.
Georgie Clementine stood up slowly with one hand pressing against the table. “Let’s go…” She said.
When Henry Armstrong saw this, he immediately reached out and picked her up like a princess again.
This made Georgie feel as if her heart was coming up to her throat again.
She subconsciously frowned a little. “Put me down…”
Henry looked down at her with a smile. “Enough. With your injured ankle, you’d hurt miserably if you walked on your own. Why are you acting so tough?” He said.
Georgie remained silent.
Seeing that she became quiet, Henry smiled from ear to ear.
“When are you going to get rid of that confession advertisement?” Georgie asked.
“I booked it for half a month… I’ve already paid. How could you ask me to cancel it? I can’t get the money back,” Henry said.
“30,000 dollars every ten minutes of advertisement, and yet, you have booked it for half a month at one go. You really are mighty rich.” Georgie couldn’t resist sighing.
“That’s right. I’m rich, and I’m mighty too. Are you sure you don’t want to give it a try? I guarantee that you’ll be satisfied,” Henry said.
When Georgie heard this, she frowned slightly. “Don’t say such disgusting things.”
“Oh, yes, Ma’am.”
Georgie was speechless.

After getting downstairs, Xyla drove her red Maserati home.
As soon as she arrived, her phone started to ring.
The call was from Atlantis Municipal Jail.
Once Xyla parked her car, she picked the call up and started walking into her home.
“Hello, is this Miss Xyla Quest? Emily says she would very much like to see you… She hopes you can come to the jail to visit.”
“Understood,” Xyla said.
He was wearing a white silk robe with a black apron on the outside.
Although the style was very homey, it still didn’t weaken his aura of royalty.
Clearly, it was the most normal apron one could find, but Stanley made it feel unusually noble and lavish when he wore it.
“Dinner is ready. Come and eat…” Stanley said softly with a loving look in his eyes.
After saying that, Stanley brought the food into the dining room.
Xyla quickly entered the bathroom to wash her hands before entering the dining room.
By then, the dining utensils were all in place.
There was a total of six dishes, including large prawns in tomato sauce, sweet and sour pork ribs, steamed sea bass, scallops with garlic vermicelli, spicy chicken, and oyster tofu soup. Everything looked, smelled, and tasted good.
Each dish was steaming hot.
Suddenly, Xyla felt a pang of hunger.
