Before she could even finish her sentence, Stanley Batton stretched his long arm and pulled her onto his lap. He looked at the blue-eyed blonde executives and ordered, “Go on…” Everyone on the screen seemed to feel uneasy due to Xyla Quest’s presence. They exchange looks in silence for quite some time before forcing themselves to gather their thoughts and continue with the meeting. About half an hour later, the meeting finally ended. Stanley closed his laptop and casually tossed it aside. He then lifted her abruptly and questioned her. “Why are you so late? Huh?”Xyla subconsciously threw her arms around his neck. “We went for supper after the concert. Speaking of which, I have a question for you.”“Okay, spill…”“Did you ask someone to delete some of the comments on Weibo?”“Yes.”“That’s so unnecessary. Don’t you think so?”“Well, I don’t like them,” Stanley said.“You’re so sensitive.” Xyla rolled her eyes at him.“I’m the only best match for you.” There was a tinge of t
Emily Quest turned around and found her reflection in the mirror. She looked battered and exhausted. That miserable figure was no better than a walking corpse…The thought of the Weibo post regarding how happily Xyla Quest went to the concert with Josh Batton’s family flashed across her mind. Hatred started to grow inside her like a tumor.An intense feeling of weakness and powerlessness spread all over her body. Her legs wobbled and collapsed in the very next second.Blood began to drip from her left wrist. It was caused by Tom Sullivan’s rude action earlier.The burning, fiery pain pulled Emily back to her senses from her immense hatred, reminding her to take a look at her wrist.When she saw the bloody wound, she immediately cried out at the door in fear. “Doctor… Doctor…”***On the other hand, after Georgie Clementine returned home and took a shower, she got into bed with her laptop. She then turned on her laptop and logged in to her favorite game, Heroes Assemble, intend
At the same time, in a brightly lit study, Henry Armstrong was smiling at his computer screen. “Extraordinary Geo has invited you to join Destiny’s Seal. Do you agree or disagree?”Henry clicked on the button to agree right away.As soon as Cloud Piercer entered the guild, messages flooded the guild chat.“Welcome, god-like player. Georgie, you really are the most impressive girl in the entire server,” Invincible Gust said.“Welcome, god-like player. Georgie, you’re so amazing. You have managed to convince this player, who has never joined a guild before, to be part of our guild.”Meanwhile, members of Destiny’s Seal started spamming messages in the world chat to welcome Cloud Piercer into their guild.With the entire world joining in, the world chat was now even more exciting.“What’s going on? Did he actually join a guild despite never having joined one for years?” Round Foxy asked.“What do you know? Have you forgotten who’s in that guild? Extraordinary Geo! Everyone knows t
Xyla Quest pushed Tom Sullivan’s hands away and glared at him coldly. “Sorry, but I can’t help you,” she said.In the past, Xyla would’ve felt sorry for Tom right away and gave in to his request.Now, she didn’t feel anything at all.Without looking at Tom again, she decisively walked into the building.Tom immediately started running after her, but two security guards stopped him by the entrance.“Xyla… Xyla…” Tom shouted without care for his reputation.Xyla continued walking without turning back.Disappointed, Tom took a step back. He had a thoroughly exhausted expression on his face.What else could he do? He really was going mad!***Due to an excessive workload, Xyla could only wrap up her work at around seven o’clock in the evening.After turning her computer off, Xyla realized how badly her shoulders and neck were aching.Having stood up and moved around a little, she felt much better. Only then, she put on her body-hugging black coat and walked out the door.Just
Very soon, a familiar yet gloomy face appeared.Just as Xyla Quest had thought, this woman had brought her here.It was Ada.At this moment, Ada stood before her.She was wearing a body-hugging black dress while a black coat draped over her shoulders. With intricately heavy makeup on, she looked like a female mafia boss in the movies.There was a large group of people behind her, and they were all men dressed in black. Like her, they had blonde hair and blue eyes.Each of their faces showed a murderous expression.When Ada saw Xyla, her face seemed even fiercer.Xyla subconsciously struggled to set herself free, but it didn’t help at all.Due to the large force Xyla exerted, she ended up hurting herself with the rope tightly wrapped around her body.Very soon, Ada arrived in front of Xyla and slapped her hard across the face.Feeling the painful burning sensation on her face, Xyla felt an even more intense level of hatred for Ada.“Ada… If you don’t want Skyview Hotel to be
A man dressed in black, who had short hair, was standing in front of the window while he gently swirled a glass of red wine in his hand.He had his back to Xyla Quest.From behind, Xyla could tell he had a shapely figure, and he looked as tall as Stanley Batton.Xyla guessed that he was probably a very young man, and he must be a local.The men dressed in black around her immediately nodded at him respectfully when they saw him.After that, the man holding onto Xyla forcefully tossed her onto the bed.Since the bed was soft and bouncy, Xyla immediately bounced upward slightly when she landed on it.“Master Lancelot… This is the woman we’ve brought you. Miss Ada hopes that you don’t forget what you have promised her before,” one of the men dressed in black said to the man in Country Z’s national language.As such, Xyla felt certain that the man must be from Country Z.In fact, he probably had an unspeakable deal with Ada.Xyla was the subject of the transaction.Meanwhile, Xy
“Miranda… You really do look like her.” The man was murmuring to himself, and he had a deepening frown on his face.He had seen many people throughout the years, but he had never met one who looked so much like Miranda.Xyla Quest had an uncanny resemblance to Miranda.His words ascertained Xyla’s thoughts.From what Xyla heard, she was beginning to feel more certain about the guess she made. In fact, she was starting to think that Miranda was someone this man loved very much in the past. For some reason, he lost her, and Xyla happened to look a lot like that woman.A sense of hope sparked in Xyla’s heart.Xyla took a deep breath and continued to fight against her sexual urges while she started pleading with the man again. “Can you let me go on the basis that I look a lot like her? I’ll repay you,” Xyla said.“Why do you think I’d let you go just because you look like her?” The man looked at Xyla’s face seriously. After some time, his eyes began to wander.“Because of the look
In that instant, the words ‘young urban professional’ came to Xyla Quest’s mind.After taking a deep puff at his cigarette, the man looked at Xyla again. This time, however, he was no longer showing any emotions. “Please allow me to introduce myself. My name is Christopher Lancelot.”“I’m Xyla Quest,” Xyla said.He took another puff at his cigarette before slowly picking up a remote control and pressing a button on it while pointing it at a large screen.Very soon, surveillance footage of various locations on the cruise ship appeared on the large screen.He directly clicked on the footage showing the deck and put it on full screen.On the deck, Ada could be seen leisurely sitting on a couch while she sipped on a glass of red wine.After emptying her glass, she seemed to be in an even better mood.A large group of men dressed in black with blonde hair and blue eyes stood around her, making it appear as if she was a high and mighty queen.“Xyla Quest, this little b*tch. Her life
