In fact, Xyla Quest had no idea what these crazy people had on their minds.Stanley Batton glared coldly at Xyla’s phone screen. He then pulled Xyla over to sit on the couch.Stanley crossed one leg over the other as he looked at Josh. “Now that things have gotten this far, our parents are bound to find out.”“Yeah. I know. Dad will definitely nag at me again…” Josh Batton said while placing a hand against his forehead.“Deal with it on your own,” Stanley said and frowned a little.“Okay,” Josh said.“I have work. I’ll leave now… ” Stanley stood up after that.“I’ll stay here for a while. Go ahead…” Xyla said.Stanley nodded slightly before walking away.Not long after Stanley left, Sharon Lindt and Jeremy Quest arrived.Unlike what the others had expected, Sharon and Jeremy only asked about Josh’s wound. They didn’t nag him about anything else, but they both seemed unhappy.The two of them sat in the ward for a while before leaving together.After Georgie sent them off, sh
Now that Xyla Quest knew for sure that Josh Batton was fine, there was no reason for her to stay around any longer.Xyla picked up an apple in the ward and carefully peeled it before handing it over to Josh.She had no idea that Josh detested apples the most.However, when Josh accepted the apple from her, he didn’t say anything. He took a bite from it and smiled.“It’s very sweet,” he said.“Really?” Xyla asked.“Yeah. Apple is my favorite fruit.” Josh took another bite.Xyla chuckled. “Then, have more… Apples are good for your health.”“Okay.” Josh smiled and continued to eat.The way he ate seemed very elegant, and every move he made emanated an air of nobility.Although it was only an apple, he made it feel like he was eating something very classy and expensive.***After leaving the hospital, Emily quickly drove her red Lamborghini toward the Sullivan family’s house.When she arrived somewhere close by, five black Audis suddenly surrounded her and forced her to stop h
A beautiful woman with thick make-up, wearing a black knitted dress that showed her belly, was standing outside the door.This woman was none other than a trainee King Entertainment had signed a contract with, Queenie Hayes. Since Sebastian Brenand was the one who signed her on, he remembered her clearly.Right then, she was holding onto the door frame with one hand while she struck an S-shaped pose with her body and blew a kiss at him.It was an extremely seductive move.If this happened before, Sebastian would have been attracted to her.However, now, he was not interested at all.“If you’re feeling horny, I suggest you go to the hospital and get a jab. Or you could set up a date with someone from a dating application. Get out…” Sebastian said coldly.However, Queenie had no intention of leaving. She twisted her buttocks from side to side before closing the door and walking over to Sebastian.The strong scent of cheap perfume from her body made Sebastian feel very uncomfort
Pure desolation was in the air as he scanned his office. “Rachel… You’re a real pain in the ass.” Sebastian Brenand murmured, his right thumb repeatedly rubbing the picture of her face. Not a day went by when he did not think of her. Little did she know, he missed her more and more every day. The thought of losing her terrified him. He had no idea how his life would be if he failed to find her.He really could not live without Rachel Wood. ***Meanwhile, Georgie Clementine was having an interview at the municipal hospital. After the interview, Georgie sent all the reporters and fans away before dragging her exhausted body back to Josh Batton’s ward. Coincidentally enough, Xyla Quest received a call from Team QPG’s president when Georgie entered the ward, asking when she would go for training. Hearing that, Xyla told him that she would rush over right away.She immediately rose to her feet. After saying goodbye to Josh and Georgie, she grabbed her car keys and dashe
Moreover, he noticed that Fifth Master was treating Xyla Quest better and better.Never in his life had he seen his Fifth Master being so nice to any woman until he met Xyla. Everyone in the company knew that the Sullivan family’s Fifth Master had always kept a safe distance with women. Some of them even suspected that he was gay. Would there be a woman who was able to capture his heart? This question must have flashed across many employee’s minds. However, most of their answers were ‘no’. To them, he was very much like an unreachable orchid at the peak of the mountain. If someone had told him in the past that their Fifth Master would fall into a woman’s hand one day, he would not have believed it. He might have thought that person was nuts! “Zack, keep going… Xyla should know about it too.” Stanley Batton hugged Xyla from behind while looking at Zack Cassidy indifferently. His demeanor toward the two of them was like heaven and earth. Such ridiculous distinction had ren
“Okay…” Stanley Batton did not pursue the matter further. He got up from the couch and ordered, “Start the car, Zack. Let’s go buy the ingredients now.” Subsequently, the two men left the house in a single file. After Stanley left, Xyla fell into deep thoughts once again.On the other hand, Zack Cassidy drove Stanley to a nearby supermarket. When the two of them had arrived, Stanley started grocery shopping under the watchful eyes of a group of bodyguards. Zack pushed the cart behind him in silence. One by one, Stanley compared the ingredients seriously and picked out the freshest ones. All of the bodyguards were stunned by the scene in front of them. Their faces were as pale as if they had seen a ghost. Stanley first went to get Xyla’s favorite spicy soup base. Then, he proceeded to the frozen food section and carefully selected her favorite beef slices, tripe, and some duck intestines.Looking at the ingredients gradually piling up in the shopping cart, the men could
“Okay. I’ll be back soon.” Stanley Batton hung up the phone and continued to look for the ingredients she wanted in the fridge. Whether it was Zack Cassidy or the bodyguards, everyone who witnessed the intimacy between the lovebirds had stopped dead in their tracks. The girls who had been secretly following him all this while could no longer hide their jealousy toward Xyla. Another wave of discussion began amidst the crowd. “He was talking to his girlfriend on the phone just now, right? He sounded so gentle…”“Apart from being good-looking and rich, he’s cold to everyone else except his girlfriend. What kind of ideal boyfriend is he?”“This guy is perfect. He’s definitely my ideal type. I admit that I’m pretty jealous of his girlfriend right now.”After getting all the ingredients needed, Stanley led the group of bodyguards to the self-service counter. Zack cleared the shopping cart and settled the bill, whereas Stanley stalked out of the supermarket with his bodyguards
“Daddy rocks! Is that Xyla Quest?”Likewise, Alex was utterly shocked by the expensive gifts. He froze for a couple of seconds before he was able to process the situation before him. “Thanks, my future boss, Xyla, for the Super Rockets.”Once again, the pop-ups blew up on the screen.“Xyla??? Is it really Xyla Quest??? Please notice me, my rich beauty!”“Damn, a hundred Super Rockets… You’re formidable, Xyla!”“Xyla, Xyla, Xyla, I love you…”Immediately afterward, Alex added, “Boss, do you want to join me for the next round? I’m pretty good at assisting.”Countless pop-ups followed soon after. “F*ck… This guy has never played Support before. I can’t believe he has offered to assist Xyla twice! Is this the power of money?”“I think it’s the power of beauty instead. Do you guys have any ideas how stunning Xyla is?”“Xyla, what are you waiting for? Many people have been dreaming of teaming up with Alex for their whole lives!”Xyla stole a glance at the pop-ups before sending a
