Xyla Quest took a few looks before exiting the comment section. Then, she glanced at the list of hot topics once more.Tonight, Xyla and Team XS were the center of attention.Xyla was very happy for the group of young people in Team XS.They used everything they had, gave their best effort, and were rewarded in the end.The results today would be enough for them to boast for the remainder of their career.Xyla opened ESPN.There, things were the same as how they were on Weibo. Topics related to Team XS winning the champion title and the Batton siblings giving away tens of millions in a lucky draw stole the limelight…The netizens on ESPN were even more excited than those on Weibo.“I’m just stating the facts. I daresay that Team XS received the most attention for winning the championship title. Does anybody oppose that?”“Back when a certain team won the champion title, I felt that it was already amazing that their boss spent ten million dollars to celebrate their victory. I d
When Stanley Batton heard that, he immediately turned on the phone’s loudspeaker.Right after that, Sharon Lindt’s voice became dispersed. “Are you happy that Xyla won the championship title?”“Yeah…” Stanley replied.“Me too. I’m thrilled. Unfortunately, your father and I couldn’t watch it live today. We did say we would go at first. Is Xyla angry?” Sharon asked.“To be honest, I feel it’s such a shame that I couldn’t personally watch Xyla shining in the competition…” Sharon added with a sigh…“You didn’t have a choice. Xyla would understand…” Stanley said.“Yeah, Mom… Your distant relatives came to visit. You had to entertain them…” Xyla immediately chipped in when she heard what was said.It truly was a coincidence.Xyla’s distant relatives happened to call today and say they would be coming over at night…The time they chose also happened to be the time when the competition started.Xyla was very considerate of this. Hence, she didn’t feel emotional about it.Sharon chuc
Jeremy Quest was the one who sent the message. “Xyla… Congratulations on winning the championship title. I just returned from my vacation overseas when I saw the news. I was really happy… Are you free tomorrow? I want to introduce you to my girlfriend… You know this young lady…” Jeremy said.The words ‘young lady’ came as quite a shock to both Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton.Jeremy was already in his fifties.They knew better than anyone else why a young lady would be with an old man in his fifties.In the wealthy upper-class, many men in their fifties or sixties marry younger wives.Did those young women marry them out of love?No, it was because of their money.Putting money aside, a young lady wouldn’t have many things in common with a man in his fifties.There would surely be lots of conflicts.The younger woman might not like what Xyla’s father liked.Meanwhile, Xyla’s father might not like what the younger woman liked.Xyla wasn’t against her father looking for another
“Okay,” Xyla Quest said.After that, Xyla kept guessing who her father’s partner might be for the entire night…Who could it be?Xyla simply couldn’t figure it out.***The following day, Xyla returned home early from Quest Group.After arriving home, she quickly went upstairs for a bath and put on some light make-up.In the end, she walked into the closet.After searching around in the closet, she finally found a set of clothes she liked.It was a light-colored, loose-fitting set of formal attire with a white knitted shirt and a pair of white high heels.After dressing up like this, Xyla looked even more aglow in the mirror.The light color tone accentuated her fair skin. Xyla looked almost like a rose in full bloom.She casually tied her long, black, curly hair behind her with a pink silk hairband.After that, Xyla retrieved the white, global, limited-edition, one-of-a-kind Hermes purse she recently bought from a rack full of Hermes purses.The purse was designed in the
Jeremy Quest’s tone was full of affection for his partner.His gaze was filled with gentleness.Xyla Quest had seen such a gentle look in Jeremy’s when her mother was still alive.Xyla also saw it before her father’s relationship with May Conner turned sour.Approximately five minutes later, a slender figure walked down the stairs.From Xyla’s perspective, the first thing she saw was the woman’s body-hugging, high-slit dress as well as her long, fair legs concealed beneath it. The woman also had a thin waist and modest breasts.Immediately after that, Xyla saw the woman’s long, black, curly hair…Xyla also saw her exotic face with intricate make-up on.The woman before Xyla was none other than Betty Starmount, a popular girl from the performing arts department of a film academy, whom Xyla’s company had recently signed on.Betty was the classic example of exotic beauty. Her future was limitless, and she had a tame personality.The moment Xyla saw Betty, she felt as if she had
Right then, Jeremy Quest was unable to perceive Xyla Quest’s dissatisfaction at all.“Yeah,” Xyla said simply.“We really are fated to be together…” Jeremy smiled and looked at Betty Starmount.Betty nodded, but she didn’t speak.“Xyla… Are you going to stay for lunch today? We’ve prepared something nice for lunch.” Betty really adhered to what Jeremy had said and addressed Xyla by her first name…Suddenly, Xyla found herself unable to get used to that.“Sure…” Xyla smiled.“I’ll go and check on a dish in the kitchen. I have especially made it for you guys… It should be done soon.”With that, Betty quickly stood up and walked into the kitchen.After Betty left, Jeremy turned around and looked at her from behind.At this moment, Jeremy’s smile widened even further. “Betty is a wonderful lady… She doesn’t have a bad temper, unlike others born after the year 2000. She really is the ideal type for a wife.“Betty knows that you like to eat braised pork. That’s why she has specifi
From Jeremy Quest’s perspective, Xyla Quest could understand how lonely it’d be after a person had retired.This was especially the case when his daughter couldn’t be by his side all the time.Although Jeremy described everything through rose-colored glasses, it was difficult to predict things in the future.Jeremy might think this way, but Betty Starmount might not…“I promise I won’t spend too much of our family’s money on her. Also, I promise that you’re the one I love the most no matter what…“Also, I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry. I promise I won’t get her pregnant. I won’t allow her to put a claim on our assets by having children…“There will be a fixed quota on how much I give her. I won’t give her endlessly. Moreover, I won’t end up having a child who’d fight against you for my inheritance after I die…” Jeremy intentionally lowered his voice and spoke with a determined look on his face.“I didn’t object because of this… I don’t really care that much about o
While looking at Betty Starmount, Xyla Quest thought to herself that it was no wonder her father would fall in love with this woman at first sight.When Betty saw Xyla walking through the doors, she immediately smiled and walked up to Xyla. “Boss… Xyla…”“Hmm, do you have time?” Xyla asked.“Yeah, I do.”“Come with me…” Xyla said.With that, Xyla led Betty onto the large balcony.The kitchen window was left open. Cold breezes blew in, dissipating the oily scent inside. It made one feel very comfortable.Xyla held onto the safety railing with one hand as she looked at Betty. “Betty… I can accept you being with my father. I know why you’re with him…“If you want resources, I can give them to you. If you want money, I can also give it to you… But the precondition is that you must play your role as my father’s significant other. Be by his side, and don’t do anything to hurt him…“Otherwise, you won’t even know how you died…” Xyla said the cruelest things with the gentlest tone pos
