The cars behind them all came to a halt too.
The sky was painted black.
The night was aglow with the dazzling city lights.
Dragon Group’s branch office was as grand as the head office.
The outside of the building was made of glass. It towered over the other buildings around it, looking exceptionally spectacular in the moonlight.
There were security guards on either side of the main entrance. They were standing as rigid as poles, dedicatedly guarding the building.
Xyla Quest’s bodyguards got out of the cars before her.
After that, they lined up in two rows beside the car and hung their heads respectfully.
Xyla fixed her high ponytail before getting out of the car carefully. She crossed the busy road and headed straight to the company’s main entrance.
Just as she was about to enter the building, the four security guards at the entrance stood in her way and stopped her from going inside.
The four of them were pure Country Y-ians, with blonde hair and blue pupils. They were tall and buff. They formed a huge wall in front of Xyla as they stood together.
“Miss, may I know who you are?” one of the security guards asked coldly in French.
“I’m Stanley Batton’s wife,” Xyla replied.
The security guard frowned. “You’re the nth woman who claims to be his wife this year.”
The other three security guards laughed sarcastically next to him.
“I’m the young mistress. I’m serious,” Xyla said again.
“We don’t believe it…” The security guard shook his head.
“...”
Having no other choice, Xyla nodded helplessly.
“Sorry, miss, you can’t go in here. Please leave,” he insisted.
Right at this moment, a group of blonde female employees came out of the building.
