“It’s Tang Bohu’s painting. Xyla told me that you love to collect antique calligraphy and paintings, especially Tang Bohu’s artworks.” Jeremy Quest responded. A smile blossomed on Wilson Batton’s face when he heard his favorite painter’s name. Without further ado, he unfolded the handscroll in front of everyone. This beautiful painting was a collection that he had longed for. Unfortunately, he was late to the auction last time. As a result, someone else had taken away this painting for twenty million dollars. He could not believe that Jeremy was actually that ‘someone else’. “Aye! Thank you so much, Jeremy!” Wilson held the painting joyfully and admired it with all his heart. He looked very much like a little girl encountering her beloved idol in real life. Xyla Quest understood why her father was willing to give Wilson his favorite painting of all time.The Batton family had given her family many valuable gifts. Hence, he wanted to return something of the same value to

The elders of the Batton family managed to mostly maintain a serene and courteous front despite their shock. They returned Emily Quest a polite nod. Nonetheless, the rest of them remained indifferent toward her arrival. The same was true for Josh Batton, who was usually friendly and humble. Emily did not care what the others thought about her. She only cared about her beloved idol’s reaction. From the second she opened the door, her eyes were able to perfectly capture all the subtle changes in Josh’s expression. He resented her. She clearly knew that it was because of Xyla Quest. Initially, she thought that Josh liked Xyla.Only today she had learned that Josh was one of the sons of the Batton family. He was Stanley Batton’s sixth brother. All the tenderness and intimacy that Josh had for Xyla were simply because they were family. However, even so, she was still jealous of Xyla. “Can I have your autograph later? I’m a big fan of yours…” Emily asked nervously. “

As long as Xyla Quest was there, Emily Quest would definitely be the forgotten one. Xyla was a diamond shining in the dark. She was dazzling enough to overshadow the people around her, and this included Emily. Even when they were kids, she had always lived in Xyla’s shadow. She was fed up with it. Seeing that Stanley had already poured the wine for Xyla, Josh Batton did not say anything else and continued eating. From time to time, he would reach over to refill Catherine’s plate. Catherine kept her head down the whole time, focusing on her dinner. She did not even bother to look at Emily.“Wilson, Sharon, Xyla told me that you have four other children besides Stan, Josh, and Catherine. Is that true?” May Conner tried to switch the subject again to keep Emily from being embarrassed.“Yes.” Sharon Lindt was not interested in talking with May. “I’ll introduce them to you next time. The four of them are currently abroad. They’re pretty busy, so they rarely come back,” Wilson Ba

To prevent the Sullivan family from getting suspicious of her, Emily Quest would make sure that she was home by eleven o’clock when she met up with the other men at night. She would then lie to the Sullivan family that she had a bad day, so she wanted to go for a walk. They did not care about her, anyway. None of them care about how she felt or where she went. If she hung out with the other men during the daytime, she would tell them she wanted to go shopping, or she needed to take medicine from the hospital. In short, there were a bunch of excuses that she could use. She usually would have fun longer during the daytime. There were times when she constantly pestered them for the whole afternoon. Occasionally, she would also hang out with two or three men at once. Initially, Emily did not plan to find any men tonight, but her heart was burning again after seeing Josh. She had to find a place to vent. ***While Emily was entangled with a young man in bed, Xyla Quest was

She could have slept through the entire day if it was not for the call. She and Stanley Batton had just fallen asleep at dawn. Exhaustion pulsed through her veins the moment she opened her eyes. Her sleep-deprived brain was going in circles, and her limbs were all numb. Using her last bit of energy, she reached for her phone on the bedside table and stole a glance at the time before answering the call. “Boss? I thought we were going to have lunch together at the base before training? Why aren’t you here yet? The food is ready, and we’re all waiting for you.” Team QPG’s president, Michael Gabriel’s voice rang in her right ear, shaking her out of her drowsiness. Only then did Xyla Quest remember that she had indeed promised her team members that she would go over for lunch with them before starting the training this afternoon.In the end, because of Stanley…She turned around and glowered at the culprit, who was currently sleeping with his back to her. Furious with his inco

Xyla Quest looked in the mirror and rolled her eyes at him once more. “Well, what do you think?” “What?” Stanley Batton’s eyes widened, attentive, and brimming with curiosity. “Thanks to somebody, I’m in a hurry now, so I don’t have time to dry my hair,” blurted Xyla grumpily.“Oh.” “Oh? What do you mean by ‘oh’? Isn’t this your fault?” The more Xyla thought about it, the angrier she got. She could not stop mumbling, “It’s all because of you, bastard.”He had wasted that one hour. If she had got out of bed one hour earlier, she would have done putting on her makeup, dressing up, and even finishing her lunch right now. In the mirror, the man’s soft lips stretched into a doting smile as he gazed at her. When Xyla lifted her head, she met his smiling eyes. A strange tingling sensation ran down her spine instantaneously. There was only a white towel wrapped around his waist. Water beads were sliding down his chest, over the scratches she left behind, adding a tinge of se

Unfortunately, she was in a hurry right now. She had no time to enjoy this kind of romance. To not hurt his feelings, Xyla Quest chose a lipstick and placed it in his palm. “I’ll do the brows myself, but you can help me to put on lipstick later.” Putting on lipstick was easy. Probably everyone with hands had no problem doing it. There were a lot of men using lipsticks or even live-selling lipsticks on the internet nowadays. She believed that applying lipstick was not a difficult task for Stanley Batton. “Okay.” Stanley returned the eyebrow pencil to her. Letting out a sigh of relief, Xyla turned back to the mirror and quickly drew her brows.Meanwhile, Stanley leaned against the dressing table and opened the lipstick cap, playing it with his fingers while observing it. “Is this color nice?” Xyla asked. “Aren’t all the lipsticks the same?” Things men would never understand x1… “To be frank, I really can’t understand you girls. Why are you all wasting money on the s

Xyla Quest soon lost herself as his fingers curled around hers. Her heart pounded in her chest, and her cheeks were hot. It was the last bit of rationality in her mind that made her shrink away from his grasp. She pushed him away with all her strength, panting, “Stanley Batton, if you try to touch me again, I’m not going to talk to you for the next three days. No, five days! No, six days!”“I won’t do it anymore, honey.” Stanley Batton comforted her with a good-natured look, though the mischief in his gaze had given him away. Xyla immediately fled from the room, running away from him as fast as she could. ***When Xyla arrived at Team QPG’s base, she found that Alex was there too. Professional gamers like them had, more or less, crossed paths with one another during the tournaments. Moreover, Alex and her team members had a meal together before. Xyla could see that they were all getting along well. Alex was currently sitting on the couch, happily chatting with the boys. A
