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

At the same time, the kitchen and maids also gradually walked into the kitchen with the prepared dishes.The entire large, round dining table was full of all sorts of delicious dishes.Ten minutes later, Xyla Quest, Stanley Batton, Jeremy Quest, and Betty Starmount went to wash their hands together. After that, they entered the dining room one after another.Jeremy sat on the main seat while Betty sat on his left. Meanwhile, Xyla sat on Jeremy’s right.Stanley then sat next to Xyla on the other side.“Xyla, Stan, have a taste of Betty’s dish.” Then, Jeremy gave Xyla and Stanley a piece of braised pork each with a smile on his face.The braised pork Betty made had a bright, red tone. It smelled very fragrant.There were even quail eggs added to the dish. Each of the quail eggs was soaked in the rich broth, making it appear even more irresistible.“Thank you.” Xyla smiled a little. After that, she placed the braised pork in her mouth.The braised pork tasted delicious. It melted

Right then, Xyla Quest’s phone started ringing.It was a WeChat call from Team XS’s president, Michael Gabriel.Xyla quickly answered the call. “Mr. Gabriel, what’s the matter?”“Here’s the thing. I accepted a TV interview on behalf of the team. The TV folks hope that you’ll take part too… Would you be able to spare some time to come over for a bit? The interview will start at eight o’clock tomorrow evening…” Michael said.“You are now part of the team that won the championship title. So it’s better if you show up. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be the complete team. The audience would also think it’s a shame.“Most importantly, apart from Alex, the audience wants to see you the most… I think that the show would have even more viewers if you show up. It’ll also bring the greatest amount of benefit to the interview…” Michael added.Xyla thought deeply for a few seconds. Then, she checked her schedule to make sure she was free tomorrow evening at eight o’clock. “Alright. Understood…”Afte

In the next second, the upper portion of the glass was crushed…The sharp debris from the glass jabbed into Betty Starmount’s flesh, making her bleed profusely.However, Betty didn’t react at all. Instead, she recklessly allowed the bleeding to continue…She was like a cold, walking zombie.“Xyla Quest…” Betty seemingly spoke through gritted teeth. The cold, murderous look in her eyes immediately caused the temperature on the balcony to drop by several degrees…***At the same time, Rachel Wood was checking out lipsticks at a Chanel store in Goldfield Plaza.Beep, beep, beep—Right then, Rachel’s phone started to ring.Rachel, who was about to reach for a piece of lipstick, immediately pulled her hand away. After that, she glanced at her phone screen.Her mother was calling…Rachel quickly picked the call up. “Hello, Mom…’“Sob-sob… Rachel…” Her mother’s voice was hoarse. It sounded like she was crying.When Rachel heard her mother’s voice, she was a little dumbfounded.S

Rachel Wood’s parents were robbed. They were already very sad about this. Now, they encountered conflict with the law enforcers. So, naturally, they felt even more miserable.Rachel needed to rush home to check on them…She wanted to patch things up for her parents.After consoling her mother for a while, Rachel went to the underground grocery store to buy some supplements and food that her parents liked.After that, Rachel drove the red Lamborghini Sebastian Brenand had bought for her back to the villa where they lived together.When Rachel walked into the house, Sebastian was talking to his business partner on the phone.Sebastian wore a wrinkle-free, light-blue shirt with black tuxedo pants. At one glance, he looked like a business elite.When Sebastian was serious, he looked like a completely different person.Seeing that Rachel wasn’t in a good mood, Sebastian immediately hung up the phone. He then quickly stepped forward. “What’s the matter?” he asked.Rachel immediately

“Fine then…” Sebastian Brenand nodded helplessly.A while ago, Sebastian bought Rachel Wood’s parents a luxury villa here behind her back…It was the most high-class detached villa in a small neighborhood. With a seaside view, it was gorgeous.At first, Sebastian wanted to give Rachel and her parents a surprise.In the end, her parents refused. Their reason was that they didn’t want a change in the environment.Hence, the house had been left empty all this while.Although Sebastian felt helpless, he could understand the two old folks after thinking about it carefully.To be fair, it was normal for people not to want to move once they got older.Having lived with the old neighbors in the area for a long time, they’d develop bonds too.When Rachel and Sebastian arrived at home, Rachel’s parents were both there…The two of them looked awful.Rachel’s mother greeted her and Sebastian.

There was no longer a spiteful look in her eyes. In fact, she also no longer seemed as proud as she once was.Her eyes were filled with gentleness and admiration…“Hey, Rachel… Did you bring your boyfriend home? Did your boyfriend fly you home in a helicopter? That’s amazing. What does he do?” the lady asked.Rachel Wood smiled a little. “He has his own business…”“I’m sure he runs a big business, right? Truly amazing. Rachel, you sure have done well… You’ve made your family proud,” the lady said.Rachel smiled again without continuing the conversation. Instead, she tugged at Sebastian Brenand’s hand and walked over to the side of the road to wait for their cab.However, the lady did not leave them alone.After a while, the lady walked over to the two of them and quietly scanned them up and down.After that, the lady started praising Rachel and Sebastian. “Rachel, you’re getting prettier and prettier. Your boyfriend also looks spectacular… Your parents must be ecstatic, right?
