A text message from an unfamiliar number appeared on the screen. “Xyla Quest, you b*tch. I will never let you off the hook. Go to hell.”Xyla didn’t even have to think about it to figure out who the text was from.Apart from Mary Sullivan, the retarded woman with big boobs, nobody else would do such a stupid thing.Rebecca Robin’s expression instantly turned gloomy when she saw the content of the text. “Who is this? It’s outrageous.”“I think it’s probably Mary Sullivan. She must have been reprimanded by her parents because of what happened during the party, and she’s taking it out on me,” Xyla said with a bitter laugh.“That girl’s too arrogant, isn’t she? I’ll teach her a lesson for you this time,” Rebecca said decisively.“Don’t sweat it. It’s not a big deal. Don’t worry, I’ve got it covered.” Xyla patted Rebecca’s hand gently.“Alright then,” Rebecca said while nodding reluctantly.“Vice president, welcome home…”There was yet another commotion by the door. The voices of s
“Not yet. I’ve decided recently to find a suitable company for him,” Liam Smith said and chuckled.When Xyla Quest heard this, she was overjoyed. “How about letting him come to my company instead?”“Your company? Doesn’t your family own a property business?” Liam asked confusedly.“Do you know X Entertainment? I’m the boss behind the scenes,” Xyla said.“Of course, I know about X Entertainment. In the previous national banquet, several artistes who performed were all from your company,” Liam said.“What do you think?” Xyla asked.“Sure… You can speak to Noah about it. If he’s willing, he can go there,” Liam said decisively.“Deal. Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of Noah,” Xyla said and smiled in gratification.With Noah Smith’s good looks, coupled with his status, it would be difficult for him not to get famous in the entertainment industry.If X Entertainment signed him on, it would be like signing on a future cash cow.“Thank you, Xyla. I can’t believe X Entertainment belo
What was Mary Sullivan’s problem? Wasn’t it enough for her to text Xyla Quest and yell at her?Was Mary actually waiting for Xyla in front of her house?Xyla’s good mood instantly went away. Her good-looking eyebrows furrowed slightly while the calm expression on her face also disappeared.Speeding up, Xyla drove her red Maserati all the way over to the pink Lamborghini and stopped next to it.Very soon, Mary got out from the Lamborghini.She was wearing a revealing, red crop-top sweater, and she looked like a proud black swan under the night sky.After walking directly over to the Maserati, she forcefully smacked its engine cover. “Xyla Quest, get your ass out here!”Xyla frowned yet again before getting out of the car and approaching Mary.Mary immediately raised her hand and was about to slap Xyla across the face.Before Mary could do so, Xyla swiftly dodged the attack and grabbed her by the wrist. “Mary Sullivan, don’t go too far,” Xyla warned.“Me, going too far? Who wen
With her race car’s engine roaring, Xyla Quest couldn’t hear what Mary Sullivan said at all.Through her rearview mirror, Xyla could see Mary’s twisted facial expression and how mad she appeared.After blandly raising her eyebrows, she quickly calmed down before searching for a contact on her phone named ‘Diana’ and made a call right away. “I need a favor…” Xyla said softly.“What is it?” The woman didn’t sound very fluent in Chinese.***Outside the door, Mary clenched her fists tightly while she cursed at Xyla. After some time, she got into her car.She then stepped on the accelerator, driving so fast that it felt as if her car had turned into a rocket.Since she had nowhere to vent her anger, she could only do so by driving furiously.When she was approaching a junction with a traffic light, the light happened to turn red. Mary brought the car to a direct halt.Buzz, buzz, buzz… Right then, Mary’s phone suddenly began to vibrate.She immediately took it out of her handbag
Why did it feel like this was all planned?Someone bought the butterfly-inspired necklace soon after it was released, but nobody in the world knew who this necklace belonged to.Mary Sullivan liked the necklace so much that she asked someone to make a counterfeit of it.Originally, she thought that since nobody knew who it belonged to, she could wear it to May Conner’s birthday party to show off.But she never thought something like this would happen.During the party, she even said that she would never wear counterfeit accessories, and even laughed at Xyla Quest when she thought Xyla was wearing a counterfeit necklace.People who witnessed this at the party must be laughing at her right now.If Mary had known this would happen, she wouldn’t have worn it.Could Xyla Quest be responsible for all of this? Why else would there be such a coincidence?But after thinking about it, Mary felt it was impossible. How could Xyla possibly know Diana in person? How would she happen to know
“Ahhh!!!” Mary Sullivan was hysterical while she stepped on the accelerator forcefully and sped forward.Her hatred against Xyla Quest grew even more.Mary wished she could skin Xyla alive and drink her blood.Beep, beep, beep… Mary’s phone began to ring after she had driven not too far away.When she saw it was a call from her father, her heart instantly started beating wildly. Her hands on the steering wheel began to tremble wildly too.After taking a deep breath, she stopped her car by the road and frightfully answered the call.“Mary Sullivan!!! Is it so hard for you to not embarrass me for a single day? How did I end up raising a child like you? Where are you? Get your ass back here right now!” Tony Sullivan shouted angrily.Mary immediately shuddered.“Didn’t you say you bought that necklace for fifty million dollars? Didn’t you say it was the original? If it’s a counterfeit, surely it would not have cost so much, right? Tell me. What did you do with the rest of the money
Mary Sullivan’s heart immediately began to race, and she looked frightfully to where the teacup had been thrown from, only to find Tony Sullivan staring at her face with a murderous glare.Bailey Ronson sat next to him, afraid of even breathing too loudly, and was wiping sweat off her forehead the entire time.“Get your ass over here! You backstabber!” Tony was huffing and puffing while he yelled at Mary.Because of Mary, Tony was completely humiliated today. Now, he wondered how many people were mocking the Sullivan family.When Tony thought about this, he felt too embarrassed to even go out there and face other people.Mary sucked in a breath of cold air before reluctantly walking over to Tony with her head lowered. “Father, I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have lied to you,” she confessed.She was well aware of her father’s temper. At this point, only a sincere admission of guilt could possibly save her life.Although her father doted on her, he never compromised when it came to matter
Not too long after, six bodyguards walked in and began dragging Mary Sullivan out of the house, forcefully. “No… Father please, help…” Mary cried out as she struggled to free herself. Her efforts, however, were futile. Bailey Ronson was in such panic, that she was already in tears, but Tony Sullivan simply ignored her. Mary’s body was pressed against the cobblestone floor by four of the guards. One of them held on to a whip while he walked toward her. He lowered his gaze before respectfully saying, “I apologize for this, Miss. I cannot disobey the master’s orders.” “Let go of me!” screamed Mary. The more she struggled, the more the pebbles on the cobblestone floor scraped against her skin. It hurt terribly. “Miss, please do not struggle. If you don’t, the whip will only hit your back, but if you continue to do so, I cannot guarantee that you won’t be accidentally hit somewhere else.” After she started struggling less, the four bodyguards let her go. Immediately afte
