Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton started dancing along to the music as everyone watched on.Beneath the lights, the two of them looked like a prince and a princess who had walked out of a fairy tale…They both received the most professional training in dancing…Every move they made was incomparably accurate and coincided with the music’s tempo.To the people around them, this was a beautiful visual feast…Everyone quickly became helplessly mesmerized by their dance.“Look at the Batton family’s daughter-in-law. She can do everything. Now, look at that woman my son got together with. I feel even more reluctant to accept the fact that they’re getting married…”“Initially, I thought my daughter-in-law was perfect enough. But, who knew there’d be someone even more perfect here…”“How could Xyla only be perfect? She’s practically supremely perfect, alright? There’s nobody else as perfect as her in the entire universe…”Some rich noblewomen couldn’t resist whispering among themselves.
“Sure…” Xyla Quest agreed decisively.“What about me?” Josh Batton asked gently.“Everyone gets something,” Xyla said.Josh smiled a little. He didn’t say anything further…Stanley Batton also smiled slightly.“Josh, Stan and Xyla got Dad a watch, and I got Dad a necktie. What did you get him?” Catherine Batton looked at Josh and asked.Josh slowly retrieved a dark red ring box from his pocket and handed it over to Wilson Batton. “I personally designed this jade ring for you, but I didn’t make it myself… It can’t be compared to Xyla’s gift…”When Wilson heard this, he immediately opened the box and looked at the content…There was a simple white, thick, jade ring inside. It had carvings of a dragon on it. Yet, amidst the low-key design were hints of luxury.Wilson liked it a lot…“Hmm, not bad…” Wilson said.“I’m glad you like it… I’ve prepared a piano piece. I’ll play it for you later,” Josh added.“Oh, sure…” Wilson had a look of approval in his eyes.“I think a piano pi
On this side, a few of them were having an enjoyable conversation.On the other side, Josh Batton didn’t have as much good luck.After sending one batch of young female fans on their way, another batch came. Unfortunately, Josh’s hand was getting tired from signing too many autographs.On the dance floor, Sharon Lindt was delighted to see her son appearing so popular.Although Wilson Batton didn’t show it, he felt happy about it too.Catherine Batton rested her chin on one hand while placing her elbow on her thigh. “Josh is getting increasingly popular now… Noah is getting more popular too…” She said as she looked in Josh’s direction.Xyla Quest immediately nodded when Noah Smith was brought up. “Yes…”Noah’s popularity had been rising a lot recently.The variety show by Goose Factory that Noah participated in, Fire Up Street Dancing, was the most popular variety show on the internet right now. It had the highest number of viewers on the internet…With Noah’s excellent dancing
Georgie Clementine was Xyla Quest’s best friend. They were almost like sisters.If people talked about Georgie, that meant they were talking about her.Xyla couldn’t take it anymore…With a cold frown on her face, she stood up and walked toward Henry Armstrong’s mother.Xyla wanted to speak up for Georgie.However, as soon as Xyla looked up, she saw Sharon Lindt walking up to Henry’s mother.Sharon didn’t start speaking right away. Instead, she shook her head at Xyla, hinting her not to make any rash moves.Hence, Xyla stopped in her tracks… Stanley Batton and Catherine Batton instantly shifted their gazes to Xyla.“What did you say?” Sharon asked as she looked blandly at Henry’s mother.Henry’s mother chuckled. “What did I say? I said that the girlfriend my son found isn’t worthy of our family…”Sharon chuckled along. “Look at you. You’re not young anymore. Why are you still so ignorant?”Henry’s mother seemed confused when she heard this. Her facial expression immediatel
That was because Sharon Lindt must have heard what Henry Armstrong’s mother said, and she also saw Xyla Quest’s reaction.At that moment, Xyla felt immensely touched in her heart.“Hang on. I have a question. I can’t quite think it through. I was talking about Georgie Clementine. What does it have to do with you? Are you very close to Georgie?” Henry’s mother looked curiously at Sharon.“No…” Sharon smiled a little.“In that case… Why did you do this?” Henry’s mother asked.“I’m not close to Georgie, but my daughter-in-law is very close to her…” Sharon said.“If you talk about my daughter-in-law’s best friend, that means you’re talking about my best friend,” Sharon added before turning to look at Xyla affectionately.Suddenly, Xyla was so touched that she couldn’t find the words to express herself…Meanwhile, Henry’s mother was utterly stunned…‘What kind of logic is this?‘Can this actually happen?‘Absolutely preposterous!’“You’re really good to your daughter in law…” He
After signing the last autograph and taking one final picture with his fans, Josh Batton slowly walked over to Xyla Quest and the others.After looking around, Josh sat on a single couch nearby.Right then, all women at the party focused their gazes on Josh and Stanley Batton.They seemed completely mesmerized by the siblings, and their gazes were full of fondness.Josh and Stanley ticked all the boxes as a woman’s ideal partner.“Oh my god. Look at the two of them when they’re together. They are such eye-candies…”“The Batton family’s youngest daughter, Xyla Quest, and Sharon Lindt also look very good…”“Every couple in the Batton family looks beautiful. It’s really amazing…”A few noblewomen nearby discussed among themselves softly.Xyla Quest had gotten used to hearing these compliments.Hence, she didn’t feel too affected by these comments.“Josh… Didn’t you say you were going to play the piano and sing? Shall we start now?” Catherine Batton asked.Josh looked affection
Catherine Batton’s eyes were filled with confidence.Despite countless people looking at her, she still seemed carefree.Wilson Batton slowly nodded. “Yes, yes, yes… Our Catherine is the best…”Nearby, Josh Batton didn’t say anything. Instead, he merely looked at Catherine’s face affectionately like how an adoring brother would.Stanley Batton and Xyla Quest did the same.Right then, Catherine was the center of attention.“What about Josh?” Catherine asked.“Hmm, he’s very good…” Wilson patted Josh on his shoulder satisfactorily.Josh smiled, but he still didn’t speak.His smile seemed to put people at ease.“Alright, it’s almost time. Let’s head upstairs for food…” Wilson pointed up the stairs and said.Everyone nodded.After that, everyone went upstairs together.***After the party ended, everyone left…Catherine returned to her pink, princess-themed bedroom.Once Catherine was done taking a shower and completed her full-body skincare routine, she sat comfortably on
But soon, Catherine Batton scolded the five people to the point of senselessness.In the end, all five of them stopped replying.Meanwhile, Catherine let out a long sigh of relief.When she saw the comment section had gone quiet, she rolled her eyes. “You’re all still too soft to go against me. Tsk…”After that, Catherine returned to the topic of Morty Wayne and Jay Corben being a couple. She started going through the comments again.The joy of reading about the couple instantly drowned out all the unhappiness in her heart.No matter how unhappy the things she encountered each day made her feel, Catherine would always find a smile on her face after entering this topic and reading about the sweet moments between Morty and Jay.After entering this topic each time, a seemingly permanent smile would appear on her face.Regardless of what people said outside, Catherine believed that Morty and Jay were indeed a couple.The more she read about them, the more she believed so…After r
