Chapter 1684
Right then, Xyla Quest had a stern expression on her face. She sat on the main seat at the U-shaped conference table while listening to reports from each department head on their respective department’s recent performance.Each department seemed to have done very well.After listening to their reports, Xyla snapped her fingers satisfactorily. “Okay. If there’s nothing else, let’s call it a day…”After that, Xyla stood up and left the conference room.As soon as she walked out, Georgie Clementine called her on the phone.Xyla instantly answered the call.“Xyla, the female celebrity who recently got popular because of a school-based web drama series, Jane Fey, told me she wanted to cancel her contract a while ago. As it was a one-sided termination on her part, I said she had to pay us ten times the amount based on the contract. She doesn’t seem very happy with it, and she said she would expose us on Weibo…” Georgie said.Xyla shrugged nonchalantly as she continued walking. “Let he

If Georgie Clementine hadn’t mentioned this name, Xyla Quest would’ve forgotten all about it.This name used to represent her entire world, but now it couldn’t feel farther away.Xyla genuinely hadn’t heard about this person for a long time.She also hadn’t thought of him for the longest time.Xyla figured this was probably the reason why she found it so distant.“What is it? Of course, I remember him…” Xyla said.“He was caught doing drugs with a few women in a hotel. One of the service crew reported him to the police.“The police then went over…“And immediately arrested him. Things blew up, and his father was made aware of it.“His father was furious and decided to ignore Tom. Instead, he let the police arrest Tom. With Tom offering drugs to other people, on top of doing drugs himself, I’d guess he would be in prison for a few years at the very least…” Georgie couldn’t hide the joy in her voice.“I’m so glad that this jerk finally got what he deserved!” Georgie said.Tom

To be honest, when Xyla Quest heard from Georgie Clementine about Tom Sullivan’s downtrodden state, she wasn’t as excited as Georgie on the inside.In comparison, Xyla was much calmer.It was probably because she already had her revenge against Tom previously.Perhaps, it was also due to Emily Quest’s death and all the bad things that happened to Tom and his family one after another. Xyla could already find it in her to let the past stay in the past.The Sullivan family no longer deserved her emotions in any way.Xyla felt that life was quite miraculous.Often, when one felt that obstacles were impossible to get past, one would look back after overcoming such obstacles and think it wasn’t all that bad after all.Most of the feelings of hatred that one used to think were impossible to let go of might fade away as time went on. The better one lived, the sooner it all went away.In fact, one might even laugh about all the things that used to hurt oneself.All wounds left scars be

Xyla Quest knocked on the door.“Come in…” Georgie Clementine said.Xyla quickly opened the door.There was a low, long table with many luxurious cushions around it.Right then, Georgie was the only person inside. She was looking down at her phone.Xyla removed her shoes and walked over to Georgie before sitting down next to her. She then glanced at Georgie’s phone. “What are you reading?” Xyla asked.Georgie put her phone on the table and pushed it over to Xyla.It was a news article from Weibo.The title of the news article was ‘Wannabe Women of Atlantis’.Immediately after that, the content of the article came into view.It clearly stated how groups of such women existed in Atlantis.All the women in these groups were young, superficial, and money-minded.They worked to get closer to people in high society, and they all presented themselves as classy folks.As they couldn’t afford the expensive lifestyle of upper-class folks, they came up with the idea of renting stuff.

Instead, they were Josh Batton and Annabeth Cates…Xyla Quest immediately smiled when she saw them. “Why are you two here?”Georgie Clementiwne hadn’t told Xyla in advance that the two were coming.Xyla felt somewhat pleasantly surprised.Annabeth wore a white dress. She had light makeup on and also wore contact lenses and silver high heels. She looked innocent and adorable.On the other hand, Josh wore a casual white shirt and long, beige pants, as well as a pair of white sneakers. He seemed neat and handsome.Although Annabeth was not as good-looking as Josh, the two of them looked comfortable next to each other.Xyla never noticed this before, but the two of them looked good as a couple.“Henry asked us to come…” Josh smiled a little before holding Annabeth’s hand. They walked over to Xyla and Georgie before sitting down across from them.Xyla and Georgie used to be Annabeth’s superior at work. Although they were on the same level now, Annabeth still felt nervous and restra

“There were over fifty girls downstairs who ordered a single sashimi platter. They then took turns to take pictures…“I bet they belong to one of those female groups on the hot topics. I can’t believe they’d still come out and do this even after all that negative media. I’m speechless.” When Henry Armstrong spoke about these women, he felt utterly disgusted.Although he had met women like them in the past, he didn’t think much of them.To be honest, people like him knew their tricks.They simply chose not to burst their bubble.Men only cared about looks when they were in search of women to date.Just like how women only cared about their money, they only cared about the women’s faces.“They’ve really gone mad…” Georgie Clementine rolled her eyes.Beep, beep, beep—While they were speaking, Xyla Quest’s phone started ringing.It was Stanley Batton, and he wanted to video call her.Xyla immediately answered the call and walked out of the room. She found a place with no bodygu

‘Xyla Quest is the real deal…#’.Xyla Quest didn’t expect to see the Weibo news article.She quickly tapped on it, confused.Weibo News had broadcast a video.The video was taken only a while ago.In the video, Xyla was walking into the Japanese restaurant with her two hundred bodyguards.Surrounded by a group of tall men dressed in the same black attire, Xyla appeared unusually eye-catching.She looked as striking as a lone, bright rose in a large pile of green leaves.The men behind her all seemed strong, and they seemed serious.Meanwhile, Xyla had a gentle expression, and her body emanated a noble aura.At one glance, she looked like a chic and elegant lady from the upper class.The video was taken from a good angle, and it also came with very inspirational background music. It made Xyla appear formidable…There was a caption above the video. “A netizen caught sight of Xyla out for a meal. She’s the real deal, a true upper-class lady.”The video had only been published

“Beep, beep, beep—”Right then, Henry Armstrong’s phone started ringing too.Stanley Batton was contacting him on WeChat through a video call.Henry was pleasantly surprised. “What’s going on? Why would he call me out of the blue? Could he be missing me?”Henry wondered out loud in a self-absorbed manner before picking up.Out of curiosity, Xyla Quest and the others turned to look at Henry.After Henry picked up, Stanley’s cool face appeared on the phone screen.Henry waved at Stanley through the phone. “Hello… I know you miss me… We’ll get together once you get back to the country. How long has it been since we last met?”“Henry… Send Xyla home after dinner,” Stanley said.“After ages of not calling me on video, you’re now doing it because of Xyla?” Henry asked.“Why else would I be calling you?” Stanley replied.“Uhm… I thought you missed me,” Henry said.“You don’t deserve to be missed,” Stanley said.Henry was speechless.“Understood?” Stanley asked.“Yes… Understood
