Due to the medicines prescribed by Ron Batton and the municipal hospital, Xyla Quest’s scars had already formed scabs. Moreover, the swelling had faded…However, even so, it was still not pretty to look at.Despite the wounds, Xyla’s beauty still couldn’t be concealed.After letting out a long, helpless sigh, Xyla carried her global limited-edition black Hermes purse and walked down the stairs…Stanley Batton had already prepared breakfast in the dining room.It was an oriental breakfast.Many dishes included steamed pork rolls, prawn dumplings, soymilk, fried breadsticks, tofu pudding, and various pickled vegetables.Right then, Stanley was standing in front of the dining table as he carefully set the table up.As soon as Xyla walked in, she saw the table full of delicious food.At that moment, she instantly felt hungry.Xyla quickly walked to her seat and sat down.Hot steam rose from the table full of delicious dishes.The white smoke kept rising, making her chest feel w
Apart from Dragon Group’s capabilities, Stanley Batton could do this because the Batton family had unusually strong connections with the president’s social circle. Stanley affectionately ruffled Xyla Quest’s hair and responded gently, “Silly girl. I told you not to say these things to me…” Stanley said.“Also, you should bring more people with you… We must both be more cautious these days…” Xyla said.If that master couldn’t exact revenge on Xyla, he might do so to the people around her.“Oh, right. There’s my father too… Can your family make arrangements like this… To protect him too?” Xyla had a curious gaze in her eyes.After experiencing two incidents like that, she was terrified…She especially didn’t want to go through what happened last night again.“Don’t worry. It’s been done long ago…” Stanley said.Xyla gently nodded. She felt touched by Stanley’s actions again…This was her good husband.There were many things he’d do before she even asked him to.“Also… Didn’t
The news displayed on the screen was a post published by Weibo News related to Josh Batton.“Josh Batton is exposed for disappearing without any reason during the filming process…”Xyla Quest couldn’t believe what she was seeing.Josh had always been someone who cared about his profession. Regardless of whether it was during his time as a newbie or now, he was never late and never left early…He was reputed to be a professional artist in the entertainment industry, and he was also a role model to many.Wherever he was needed, he would always arrive in advance.Moreover, if he couldn’t complete his task within the given time, he’d even request to work overtime on his own.Why would someone like him disappear for an entire day without any reason?Xyla subconsciously felt that this was fake news.After frowning slightly, Xyla tapped on the news to carefully read it.The news didn’t describe things very clearly. It only mentioned that someone exposed Josh for disappearing from a
“About that… President Xyla, this incident isn’t actually a rumor…” Georgie Clementine said.“What…?” Xyla Quest asked.“Josh did indeed do something like this a few days ago. But, at the time, his assistant didn’t know why he had left either,” Georgie added.Xyla instantly had a confused look in her eyes when she heard this. “A few days ago?”She suddenly recalled the bombing incident she had encountered in Riverdale Market a few days ago…Could it be that?“Yeah… It’s on the day you were at Riverdale Market when the bombing took place… Initially, he had agreed to act in a guest role in an explosive scene for Director Gustav Corbet with his film crew in Country Y…“When Josh arrived, he joined the film crew and got his makeup and styling down. After that, the film crew prepared everything and waited for the filming…“However, just before the filming took place, Josh ran off. He said he had something to attend to in the country, but he didn’t explain in detail. Instead, he left
“Hmm.” After saying that, Xyla Quest hung up. She slowly walked over to the French window and looked down at the bustling city.There was still a heavy downpour in the city.The entire world became blurry…People tended to overthink on rainy days.While Xyla looked at the rain outside, she couldn’t help but think about what Georgie Clementine had said earlier.She thought about Josh Batton.Xyla felt that she needed to have a proper conversation with Josh…Beep, beep—Right then, another notification appeared on her phone. It was a post Director Gustav Corbet published on Weibo that X Entertainment recently shared. “@Director Gustav Corbet, thank you for clarifying the fake rumors. People should stop spreading it…”Xyla tapped on it.The first thing she saw was the Weibo post that Director Corbet published earlier. “Stop spreading the rumor. The film crew this person mentioned belongs to me. Josh didn’t leave for no reason on that day… There was an issue with the film set tha
“Josh… Did you intentionally leave the film crew behind that day and rushed back because of… Me?” Xyla Quest asked carefully.Josh Batton did think that Xyla might come and ask him, but he didn’t think she’d ask so directly…Josh instantly cocked his right brow. “No…” He answered without hesitation.When Xyla heard this, she felt greatly relieved. “Is that so?”“I don’t like you anymore… You don’t need to feel any pressure…” Josh said.Josh had prepared this speech long ago…Having feelings for Xyla was his issue.He didn’t want his feelings for her to cause Xyla any emotional burden.“Really? In that case, why did you hurry back that day?” Xyla asked.“That’s because I suddenly remembered something important… Don’t misunderstand… It really wasn’t because of you… I only went to see you because it was actually on the way…” Josh laughed bitterly.When Xyla heard this on the other end of the call, she immediately let out a long sigh…Josh had answered in a very clear-cut manner
Based on how well Josh Batton knew his mother, his mother would definitely ask him about that woman with much excitement. Perhaps, she might even buy lots of gifts for that woman…By then, Josh would be annoyed…After saying that, Josh weakly leaned against the wall and closed his eyes depressedly. He let out a long sigh…“Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone…” Xyla Quest decisively snapped her fingers.“In that case, I’ll get back to work…” With that, Josh hung up. He laughed bitterly and helplessly for a while as he looked through the window full of raindrops at the blurry world outside. He had a conflicted look in his eyes…After standing still for a long while, Josh finally put his phone in his pocket and returned to the photography studio…Once his styling was done, he started shooting for a magazine cover.After the shooting was completed, Josh brought his assistant, Annabeth Cates, and a large group of security guards grandly out of the magazine company…By then, the rain ha
Now that this topic was brought up, everyone felt jealous on the inside.Although Josh Batton still hadn’t announced who he liked, there wasn’t any news about his love life, and they were also very sure their idol didn’t have a girlfriend. So they couldn’t help but feel jealous about the woman whom their idol would fall in love with.“If Josh announced that he’s in a relationship, would you stop being his fan?” A girl suddenly asked carefully in the group.“Nonsense, of course… I wouldn’t! I’ll choose to wish them a happy life together with tears in my eyes…”“I will never be able to get out of this pit in this lifetime. So who else would we become a fan of? Is there anyone better-looking than Josh in the entertainment industry?”“Sob sob. Me too. Josh is so gentle. His future girlfriend is going to be so lucky.”“Not only am I jealous of his future girlfriend, but I’m also jealous of his future daughter. Sob sob…”The fans were getting more jealous as they spoke.When Josh’s b
