At this instant, the blonde lady was completely shocked.She immediately hung up the phone. She looked at the middle-aged man. “Who is that?” she asked in a whisper.“The wife of Dragon Group’s CEO… Xyla Quest,” the middle-aged man said truthfully.Once the blonde woman heard this, she was completely dumbfounded…She never would’ve thought that the person she had offended was actually the adored lady from the Batton family.The Batton family from Atlantis was so powerful that even the president of Country Z had to treat them courteously.The relationship between them and the president of Country Z was not just good in the ordinary sense.Offending the Batton family was like offending the president of Country Z.Although Country G was powerful, they were still a lesser force compared to Country Z.Although the blonde lady’s man had powerful enterprises, it was still nothing compared to Dragon Group.She couldn’t afford to offend Xyla at all!She felt truly remorseful for her
“The president said that her man gave her a few slaps after she went back. He asked her to reflect on her attitude once they returned to Country G.” Stanley Batton looked cold and apathetic. “Well, she should.” “Are you going to let her off the hook that easily?” “Yeah. I just want to teach her a lesson so she won’t be so arrogant next time.” Xyla Quest shrugged half-heartedly before leaning against Stanley’s shoulder and mumbling softly. “Let’s not talk about her anymore. I have good news for you.” She had something more important to tell Stanley. She did not want to waste her energy on that rude blonde woman. “What is it?”“Daisy told me about a miracle doctor named Yaksha when we were having lunch today. He has invented a type of medicine to modify human genes.” Xyla’s eyes were brimming with excitement as she spoke. Stanley’s jaw almost hit the floor when he heard that. “What? Are you serious?”Xyla immediately recounted how Daisy Cox’s congenital heart disease was
Xyla Quest threw her arms around his neck and leaned on his shoulder like a kitten, whispering softly and reassuringly, “You definitely will.”“We must thank Daisy if we manage to find Yaksha to cure your blood disease,” Xyla added.“Yeah.”“By the way, I’m playing for Team QPG tomorrow. Are you going to watch the match?” Xyla asked. “I’m afraid that I can’t. I have something else to do,” said Stanley Batton. “Alright then.”“Have you eaten yet?”“Nah… Daisy and I were going to have dinner together before she went to KFC’s washroom. Who would have expected that we would meet that blonde woman and cause such big trouble? Ugh. We lost our appetite, so we just left the mall,” Xyla complained. She could feel her stomach growling at the mention of dinner. “It’s okay. I’ll make something for you. What do you want to eat? There’s some seafood in the refrigerator. Shall I make you some seafood porridge?” Stanley asked concernedly. “Sure. It’s been a long time since I have your s
Immediately afterward, the Mid Lane made another mistake. Team QPG was in a mess. No doubt, they lost the first game. Team IM defeated them in less than twenty minutes. Guilt washed over Xyla Quest as she stared at the huge and unsightly ‘DEFEATED’ on her computer screen. Sighing in disappointment, she turned to her teammates and apologized sincerely, “I’m sorry, guys… I’ll work harder in the next game…”Instead of getting mad over their failure, Alex beamed at Xyla encouragingly. “It’s okay, boss. Everyone makes mistakes. We’ll do better in the next game. No worries.” The others followed suit and comforted Xyla. The team’s kind understanding and warm encouragement made Xyla blushed in embarrassment. She vowed to make no mistake in the next game. Meanwhile, Team QPG’s disappointing performance had caused an uproar in the live broadcast:“Damn, what the hell just happened at the bottom and mid lane? The Jungler is the only one with a brain. Others are sh*t man!”“Didn
Their utter dismay was reflected in their eyes. The same was true in the live broadcast. Team QPG’s fans were howling in disappointment, whereas the other team’s fans were cheering delightedly. “My dear, why don’t you surrender?”“There’s nothing they can do anymore. Sob… my favorite team is going to lose.” “Although Team QPG has Xyla and Alex, there’s no way they can fight Kassadin.”“Pity Team QPG… You guys look cool when you lose!”Xyla Quest and her teammates were completely unaware of those malicious comments. They could not see nor hear anything. Nevertheless, they could more or less guess the audience’s reaction to their disheartening performance. Yet, they did not have time to care about it. They had to focus on the game to win the match. “Their Kassadin is already level sixteen. I understand that they have a high chance of winning, but we’re not going to give up that easily, okay? Let’s make a miracle happen together,” encouraged Xyla while heading to the bottom l
She saw Stanley Batton. He was sitting in the last row. He was dressed in a white shirt and a pair of black trousers, looking cool yet elegant. He was the only one who could catch Xyla Quest’s eyes amongst the crowd. The man met her eyes, his gaze gentle and doting. She was glowing on the stage, whereas he was admiring her from the auditorium. Xyla could feel her heart racing frantically at that moment. Sunshine seemed to flood her soul. Stanley’s appearance took her by surprise. She clearly remembered their conversation yesterday. Stanley told her that he could not make it to the match because he was busy. It seemed that he was trying to give her a surprise. Without a second thought, the quick-witted director focused the camera upon Stanley’s face and zoomed in to give his doting expression a nice close-up. The tenderness in the man’s eyes was perfectly captured. When his face popped up on the big screen above the stage, the audience could not help getting carr
She was able to overshadow the entire universe. “I guess I don’t need to have dinner tonight. I feel full just by looking at the intimacy between the two of you!”Noticing that the players next to her were being left out, Xyla Quest immediately smiled and hinted at the host. “Thank you so much. Uhm, why don’t we talk about today’s match?” Only then did the host change the topic to the match and start interviewing each of the players. After the interview, Team QPG bowed to the audience once more, with Xyla taking the lead. They then went off stage and proceeded with the post-match interviews. After the long interviews, Xyla led her teammates backstage. As soon as she set foot into the dressing room, she received a text message from Stanley Batton. “I’m waiting for you in the underground parking lot.”Xyla could not help smiling when she saw the message. Without further ado, she bid a brief farewell to all her team members and headed straight to the underground parking lot
“President Xyla, the receptionist told me that Mary Sullivan is here. She insists on meeting our big boss. She even threatens to stay here until you’re willing to see her.” Xyla Quest knew that she wanted to become X Entertainment’s artist. Xyla could not believe how shameless she was. As far as she was concerned, Mary had been rejected by countless entertainment companies other than King Entertainment. She thought Mary was going to give up. Surprisingly, she persisted and came to X Entertainment instead. “Ask the bodyguards to shoo her away,” Xyla ordered. She did not want to see that ill-mannered and unruly woman. “Okay…“By the way, a director contacted me a few days ago, saying that he has a marvelous boy love drama for Morty Wayna and Jay Corben. The drama is called ‘Inferior’. It’s about the love story between a stage-play actor and a gangster.“I think Morty and Jay should give it a try,” Georgie Clementine continued, “This drama is from Goose Factory. They’re plan
