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
This incident would cause a butterfly effect. Once it got out of control, the entire Quest Group would go down with it. Xyla called Georgie immediately and the call was answered in no time. “President Xyla, I was just about to call you but you called me first. I saw the news,” said Georgie, sounding anxious.“Georgie, I’ve taken responsibility for this and said that I would handle it myself.” “I knew you would do such a thing. Although this looks like a huge crisis, a great opportunity is hidden in it. If you can handle this situation well, Uncle Quest will definitely have more confidence in you. It’s like the saying, wealth comes from taking risks,” replied Georgie. Georgie had always been this way. Xyla did not need to explain too much for Georgie to understand her, and Xyla felt herself fortunate to have such a capable right-hand woman. “President Xyla, I think our priority now is to suppress this incident. Before we have evidence, we can’t let it cause more damage to the
After another five minutes, Xyla successfully found the real IP address. The location was a prime area in Atlantis—Valdor University, Block 8, Building 106. Vrrt. Vrrt. Vrrt. Just then, Xyla’s phone vibrated. Upon seeing the name ‘Aunt Lana Harrison’, Xyla immediately answered.The person on the other end spoke in a gentle and kind tone, “Xyla dear, I saw the news about your family. Do you need any help from me? I know that it’s all just rumors.” “It’s just a small matter. Does it require you, Madam Attorney General, to personally take care of this?” said Xyla with a laugh. “If it’s something to do with you Xyla, it’s not small at all. If you hadn’t treated me back in Country Y, I’d have met Satan by now. Enough with the nonsense. Tell me what I need to do. You have to give me a task, otherwise, I won’t hang up,” said Lana stubbornly. Xyla held her forehead helplessly. “Why don’t you help me catch the rumormonger? I’ve found that person’s real IP address.” Since the woman
The entire Weibo was exploding. Fans of these idols were busy controlling the comments about their beloved idols and trying to put out the fire. Many people were nagging about wanting to stop being fans, and some even became haters. After skimming through Weibo, Xyla opened up the various popular news applications on her phone and websites to take a look. The news about Imperial Prime had disappeared. Everywhere in the outside world was now like Weibo, filled with scandalous news about these idols. The attention of the mass had been secured. However, even with this, Xyla knew full well that this incident would not go away completely unless Imperial Prime provided evidence. Once everyone was done snacking on popcorn, they would bring up old incidents again. After all, the internet has a great memory. Moreover, those homeowners would never let something like this go. If they couldn’t catch the rumormonger tonight, there would be a vicious battle waiting for her tomorrow. At
Stanley’s gaze sent shivers down Sebastian’s spine. “Uhm… as a strong competitor of our King Entertainment, we naturally… you know,” Sebastian stammered as he explained. “But don’t you worry. There won’t be a next time,” Sebastian added quickly, hoping to stay alive. “Do as you see fit.” Stanley remained indifferent. Having said that, Stanley gave Zack a call. “Inform all media companies that I do not wish to see any negative news on Imperial Prime.” Sebastian was confused. “Just this? Don’t you plan on doing more?” Stanley simply took a long draw of his cigarette. His expression remained cold showing no emotion as he kept quiet. *** After a relaxing bubble bath and a nourishing face mask, Xyla found herself revitalized and full of energy. Her footsteps also became lighter. After putting on a layer of skin care, she sat at the bed to wait for Lana’s news. She had just taken up her phone when Lana called. She immediately answered anxiously. “Xyla dear, we didn’t
The tips of Emily’s hair swept across Xyla’s face before falling back to her shoulders. Emily then rolled her eyes coldly at her before going downstairs while humming a cheerful tune. Xyla frowned slightly. She tidied her outfit and was about to go downstairs as well. Just then, she got a call from the quality control department’s director, Bailey Lawson, informing her that they had arrived at Imperial Prime. Xyla hurried downstairs and sped away in her car, heading for Imperial Prime without even having breakfast. By the time she arrived, Imperial Prime was a mess. Everyone was squeezing into the sales center, and the premise was packed with people, inside and out. Some people even held up banners outside the building that read, ‘Unethical developer, refund us now!’ Xyla felt her mind explode when she saw this scene. Noticing the quality control department’s car stopped in front of the sales center’s entrance, Xyla immediately drove over to stop beside that car befor
Bailey’s subordinates followed closely behind them. Once inside, Xyla led the group over to stand in the middle of the lounge. At that moment, the property owners immediately crowded over, surrounding them to the point where it was almost suffocating. The security guards stood guard around them with much difficulty, trying to keep them safe. Yet, the crowd was making it hard for them to stand firm. “I don’t want to house anymore! Refund me this instant!” “Refund! Refund! Refund us now!” The property owners were yelling loudly, one more agitated than the other. The scene was chaotic, but Xyla remained calm as she stood there. After sweeping a glance around, Xyla raised a finger to her lips, making a shushing gesture. She yelled loudly, “Please be quiet for a moment. I hope everyone can listen to a few words of mine.” In an instant, the noisy crowd gradually fell silent. Xyla looked at the crowd firmly and said, “Everyone, please hear me out. There’s absolutely nothin
She had thought that after bringing the people from the quality control department here and having everyone hear them out, a portion of people might calm down. However, none of them did. Various high-pitched voices meshed together, and they sounded more piercing than thunder. Xyla immediately made another shushing gesture and shouted, “Everyone, listen to me… Everyone, hear me out, okay?” “What’s there to hear? Refund me now!!!” “That’s right, refund, refund! Stop rambling on!!!” “Refund! Refund! If you don’t refund, we’ll keep protesting!!! Unethical Quest Group, refund us immediately!” No one in the crowd had any intention of listening to Xyla anymore as they continued to yell madly. The situation was out of control, and the shouts were deafening. Xyla felt suffocated by such an atmosphere. She wanted to say more, but no one present was willing to listen. That dull, smothering feeling put her at a loss of what to do. The faces before her were all angry. If eyes
