Xyla Quest did not dare to tell her father the entire truth.Since Jeremy Quest was a man of tradition, he would be enraged if he found out Xyla got married to a stranger to recover her looks. More importantly, the fact that she remained in a marriage, which lacked solid foundations and might even end up being divorced.Perhaps, Jeremy might think that Xyla lacked self-love and was a harlot.Instead of telling the truth, which might make him upset, Xyla thought it was a better idea to create a story where she and her husband were living a happily married life. This would make Jeremy feel a lot better.Therefore, Xyla needed to make sure the story was perfectly logical. More importantly, she must appear very happy in this story.After finishing her sentence, Xyla immediately stood up and kneeled in front of Jeremy. “I’m sorry, Dad. I should not have done something like this behind your back.” There was a serious expression on her face.Xyla was saying those words from the bottom of her

Xyla’s heart wrenched painfully, her eyes filled with disbelief. Back then, Georgie’s little brother had studied at Country Y with them. Although they went to different schools, they would spend their weekends together. He was a cheerful and sensible child. Xyla had always thought of him as her own little brother. A few days earlier, he had even sent her a message through WeChat, reminding her to take care of her health.How could such a bright existence be gone, just like that?Tears instantly started to fall from Xyla’s eyes. “Okay, I’ll give you a month off. Where are you? I’ll come to you.” “There are many things at the company that need your attention, so you don’t have to come. I will burn a few more joss sticks for my brother on your behalf.” As she spoke, Georgie’s voice eventually dissolved into whimpers. “Where exactly are you?” asked Xyla again. “President Xyla, now’s not the time for you to be capricious. Listen to me… okay?” “Enough with the nonsense. Tell me w

Frowning slightly, he slowly took out his phone. After reading the contents of the WeChat message, his forehead gradually relaxed. The icy look on his face seemed to have warmed up as well. Under the scrutiny of everyone else, he replied to the WeChat message with an ‘Okay’. Everyone exchanged looks of disbelief. Ever since Stanley entered the company, he had set a rule that the usage of cellphones was forbidden during meetings. This rule applied to him as well. Whenever his phone rang, he would either hang up immediately or ignore it. So, what happened to him today? On the other side, Xyla was thrilled when she got his reply so she simply sent him a voice message, “Shall we meet at Grandview Western Restaurant tonight at seven?” Her voice was gentle and melodious as always. Stanley quietly put the phone to his ear and listened intently, then replied with another ‘Okay’. Xyla sent another voice message, “I’ll send you a WeChat message once I’ve reserved a room.” ‘Okay,’ h

“Okay, hurry on home.”Having said that, Stanley braced the snow and walked swiftly to the roadside. The streetlights elongated his shadow. Watching him go, Xyla immediately felt a surge of warmth in her heart. Taking off the coat, she quickly chased after him and stuffed it into his hands. “Put this on. I’m not cold. Why don’t I send you back? There’s no need to trouble your friend.” “My friend will be here soon,” he said as he prepared to drape the coat over her shoulders again. Xyla nimbly dodged away before quickly running to her red Maserati, not giving him any chances. Staring at that slender silhouette, Stanley’s cold lips gradually curved upward slightly. After Xyla got into her car, she disappeared into the night. A little while after she left, a row of black Rolls Royces stopped steadily in front of Stanley. Zack could immediately be seen leading a group of black-clothed men as they stood respectfully in front of Stanley, bowing. Zack opened a car door for Stanley,

Xyla went upstairs without giving Emily so much as a sideways glance. This feeling of being ignored annoyed Emily a lot. She abruptly stood up and called loudly after Xyla, “No matter how calm you try to act, you’re still panicking on the inside!” She continued to mock Xyla, saying, “For the sake of gaining merit, you’re willing to take on everything by yourself, aren’t you? Aren’t you afraid of not being able to handle this mess and finally end up destroying yourself in the process? What an idiot! Is there really something wrong with your horoscope? Are you born with a constitution that brings calamities? Why did something like this happen the moment you took over the project?” Emily’s words were like needles, prickling at Xyla’s ears. However, Xyla didn’t want to waste time with her. She would rather utilize her energy to solve the issue that was now bothering her. Just like that, Emily stood where she was as Xyla’s silhouette slowly disappeared from her sight. Xyla’s indiffe
