The sight was as beautiful as a painting.“Would you guys bully our daughter? I think that’s impossible… Unless the sun rises from the west…” Bobby Cates said nonchalantly.Bobby knew better than anyone how the Batton family treated his daughter.He knew their personalities very well.How could people like them bully Annabeth?It was impossible.He felt very assured of Annabeth being part of the family.“Bobby, you certainly have a lot of faith in us… You’re right. It’s impossible. We treat anyone who marries into our household as our kids… Annabeth won’t be an exception,” Sharon Lindt chirped.“I know. Wilson, Sharon, Stan, Xyla, and Catherine… Please look after Annabeth. Be patient with her if she does anything wrong,” Peggy Howards said.Xyla smiled. “Don’t worry, Aunt Peggy… We will.”“Don’t worry… Peggy,” Sharon said.“Yeah. We will take care of her,” Catherine said.After that, the adults started chatting about everything under the sun.Sharon kept sharing various fu
The person calling Xyla Quest was Georgie Clementine.Having woken up naturally, Xyla felt that the exhaustion from working on Josh Batton’s wedding had suddenly disappeared…She now felt at ease.Due to a good night’s sleep, she was in an excellent mood.After slowly stretching her body, she reached for her phone that was ringing on the nightstand. She glanced at it.“Hey, Georgie…” Xyla said.Xyla’s voice was soft and had a lazy quality to it. It was very pleasant to listen to.“Tom is dead…” Georgie said.Xyla was very shocked by what she heard.She was just told not long ago that Tom Sullivan was in rehab for doing drugs.Suddenly, she was told he was dead.Apart from feeling shocked, Xyla didn’t feel anything else when she found out about this.The man, who once meant the world to her when she was younger, didn’t even make her feel the slightest bit sad when he died.“How did he die?” Xyla asked subconsciously.After that, Xyla slowly sat upright.Her long, black, c
Xyla Quest continued to ignore it. Instead, she silently browsed through other hot topics.This morning, there were five articles of her company’s artists on the list of hot topics.Josh Batton had three, while the others belonged to other artists.The hot topics were all positive.Hence, Xyla wasn’t worried at all.She accidentally tapped on the number one hot topic and opened it…The things that came into sight were all related to reports about how Tom Sullivan died, as well as hateful comments from netizens—“This must be the best news I’ve heard all year.”“This is what that jerk deserves… God is fair.”“Is Xyla laughing out loud like me right now?”“Haha… Although this might make me look evil, I still want to say it. He deserves to die… I don’t feel sorry for him.”“Tom Sullivan certainly ruined his life one step at a time, even until his death.”People on the internet still remembered the past.Clearly, they hadn’t let go of what happened between Tom and Xyla.Right
Xyla Quest saw Betty Starmount’s pretty face.Xyla immediately opened the door and stepped forward to look at Betty. “What’s wrong?”“Nothing. I just wanted to ask you if you’d come home for breakfast. I made a lot of delicious food. You didn’t pick up when I called earlier. That’s why I came over…” Betty said.Betty’s tone was as gentle as she was as a person.Although Betty didn’t have any makeup on, she was still charming.“I might have accidentally set my phone on silent mode. That’s why I didn’t hear you calling. I was about to call home earlier to say that I won’t be going for breakfast this morning… I want to eat the pork rib noodles my husband made…” Xyla said.A look of disappointment briefly appeared in Betty’s eyes. “Oh… Forget it… Next time then… Oh, right. I made you some bird’s nest. I’ll bring it over to you later…”Xyla shook her head. “It’s fine… I don’t feel like having any today. You can keep it for yourself and my father.”“Oh… Alright then. Are you coming h
Tony Sullivan had lost his beloved wife and son in the same year. He had completely broken down, and he couldn’t stop crying as he kneeled in front of Tom’s remains.In fact, he wasn’t even in the right state to greet the guests.Mary Sullivan held her tears back as she accepted comforting words from guests who had come to pay their respects to Tom.The people who showed up were all dignified folks in Atlantis.There were even news reporters.Tom’s coffin was in the center of the funeral hall.Countless chrysanthemums surrounded it.His black and white portrait was placed above the coffin.In the photo, he looked like his spirited self as he did in the past.His smile was wide as ever.A few female celebrities paid their respects to Tom before walking out of the funeral hall in a low-profile manner. They found a quiet corner to chat.With nobody else around, one of them couldn’t help but start laughing.“Why are you laughing? This is a serious occasion…” One of the other fe
While everyone watched, Xyla Quest’s two hundred bodyguards got out of their cars.Most of them stood neatly in two rows on both sides of the company’s main entrance, making way for Xyla.Meanwhile, a small group of them stood next to her car.The bodyguard closest to the driver’s seat respectfully opened the car door for her. After that, he held a black umbrella over her head.The moment the car door was opened, a warm ray of sunlight in the cold winter shone upon Xyla.It made her skin appear white as snow.It was still snowing heavily.Although the snowy scenery was pretty, it wasn’t as pretty as Xyla.Xyla elegantly got out of the car and walked into the building.As her bodyguard was holding an umbrella for her, none of the snowflakes touched her.Being the center of attention like this made Xyla seem cool, noble, gentle, and beautiful.Although there were many different qualities about her, none of them felt out of place.When the group of fans saw Xyla, they were all
Jay Corben sported a very short hairstyle. Since he was going to take part in an event later, he had on very light makeup.He wore a short, black, casual jacket with a loose white T-shirt on the inside, as well as a pair of black ripped jeans and black boots.Having worked in the entertainment industry for a long time, Jay seemed much more confident.He also had a strong presence.However, his cool, bad-boy vibe hadn’t changed at all.Morty Wayne wore a loose denim jacket and a loose white T-shirt on the inside. Likewise, he also wore a pair of black jeans and camel-colored boots…Since he was also going to participate in an event, he also had on a similar styled makeup.In terms of the overall style, Morty seemed much gentler than Jay.Morty also seemed much more confident and composed than before.However, his youthfulness hadn’t changed at all.The two of them naturally walked together after getting out of their vans. They walked toward the entrance side by side.Behind t
Talking about this made everyone feel even worse…Suddenly, everyone couldn’t find the words to express their jealousy.Meanwhile, on the other side, Tom Sullivan’s ashes had already been buried in the Sullivan family’s burial plot.Tom had disappeared from this world.After walking into her office, Xyla Quest saw the news that Tom had been buried…She briefly glanced at it.After that, she summoned staff from each department in the company to gather for a meeting at the conference room…***Xyla left work early because she had to accompany Jeremy Quest for dinner…It was freezing outside.It hadn’t stopped snowing all day.Every sanitation worker in Atlantis was kept occupied.After work, Xyla went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients for the hot pot.Xyla then gave Stanley Batton a call to tell him that she returned to her father’s house for dinner.After making the call, Xyla carried the stuff she had purchased to the Quest family’s house.The indoors were kept
