The two security guards immediately nodded respectfully at Xyla Quest and stopped what they were doing before stepping aside.Xyla walked slowly over to Mary. Her hands were crossed naturally in front of her chest. Although Xyla seemed like a gentle person, she had a dominating presence.“Why aren’t you enjoying the cyberbullying at home? Why are you here causing a scene at my company?” she asked.Since Xyla already disliked Mary, she became even more annoyed when she saw how Mary was still behaving arrogantly. Xyla’s mood was completely ruined. Apart from Emily Quest and Tom Sullivan, nobody else made her feel as disgusted as Mary.Mary quickly took a step forward and shoved her hands forcefully against Xyla. “Xyla Quest! Why did you do all this?!”“I’m just returning the favor. Why else?” replied Xyla, laughing coldly. The people around her immediately felt chills down their spines.“Do you know what I’m going through because of you? Even if I hurt you, why did you have to go to such
Mary continued to shout while the security guards dragged her away, “I’m sure you must be happy that Josh Batton likes you, right? I can’t believe he would fall for a married woman. Xyla Quest, you must have been flaunting yourself in front of him every day to seduce him. That’s why he likes you, right? What a shameless woman! Can’t keep your hands to yourself despite being married!“If you dare get a divorce and get together with Josh, I will ruin your reputation. I’ll tell everyone that you had an extra-marital affair with him. I’ll ruin the both of you! If you don’t want to destroy Josh, I suggest you stay away from him! A married old hag like you doesn’t deserve a pure guy like him!”Xyla stood silently where she was while she watched Mary shouting at her. She could not be bothered to respond. At that moment, Xyla thought of Mary as a complete lunatic. Only after Mary was forcefully shoved into the company’s car did Xyla turn around and enter the company.Right then, she noticed a
The fans who were initially drowning in their tears of sadness were now lively once more.‘Ahhh… It was all a joke after all. I was reading too much into it. Whew. Thank goodness it was a false alarm,’ someone wrote.Another person wrote, ‘I was ready to accept the harsh reality that my idol fell in love with a rich, divorced woman. Is that not true? It’s wonderful! I am no longer heartbroken!’‘I bet they must be very good friends, right? Otherwise, my idol would not have made a joke like that. I’m envious that Xyla Quest can be such good friends with my idol,’ someone else wrote.‘Even if they are just friends, I still feel jealous, okay? I’m so envious that Miss Xyla Quest can frequently meet the man of my dreams,’ someone wrote.After going through some of the comments, Xyla satisfactorily exited Weibo. She then locked her phone and put it away before stepping on the accelerator. She intended to personally go to the police station to cooperate with the police on Mary Sullivan’s inv
“Xyla, although Mary went a little too far, don’t you think sending her to prison is too harsh?” asked Tony.Xyla snorted coldly. “Do you really think it’s too harsh?”“I think it is. All Mary did was get a few people riled up to yell at you. There wasn’t any actual damage done.”Xyla could not believe that Tony had just said that. What did he mean there was no actual damage done? Weren’t being verbally attacked and framed with ill intentions considered a form of damage?“You weren’t emotionally hurt. Therefore, you wouldn’t understand how painful it is,” said Xyla with a bitter smile.“Okay, okay. Xyla, I understand. However, things have already happened. I’ll apologize on her behalf. Please do me a favor and let her go, will you?”Tony sounded very sincere, but Xyla knew that his sincerity was completely fake. She knew the Sullivan family better than anyone else. The only reason he sounded sincere was because he felt truly afraid that his daughter would be sent to prison.“I’m sorry.
By then, ‘#Mary Sullivan Sent To Prison#’ was topping the ranking of hottest searches, while ‘#Josh Batton And Xyla Quest Clear Up Rumors#’ was in second place.Upon seeing the second search result, Stanley’s defined eyebrows pressed tightly together as the chill in his eyes became darker. He glanced at Zack before tapping on the search result. Zack looked anxious. “Fifth Master, let’s… let’s not look at it.” Stanley ignored him and started reading earnestly. After briefly understanding the story, his eyes were fixed on the words Josh Batton had declared previously.‘Xyla Quest seducing me? I think it’s more like I’m the one trying to seduce her. You people think too highly of me.’ In an instant, Stanley frowned harder, a dangerous aura flashing in his eyes. Zack let out a helpless sigh and pushed his gold-rimmed glasses up his nose. “Fifth Master, please don’t be angry. Perhaps Sixth Master just said that casually.” “Get Josh Batton over to see me at once,” Stanley ordered
“When I manage to get him on the phone later, I’ll tell him about it and give him a good scolding, so that he gives up completely,” said Sharon with a straight face.”It’s my business, I’ll deal with it,” replied Stanley. “Don’t! Let me do it,” Sharon insisted. She knew Stanley’s temper well. Now that his little brother was eyeing his wife, even though Josh had no idea that Xyla was Stanley’s wife, Stanley would most definitely be furious. If the two brothers faced each other like this, Sharon was worried that a conflict would arise. “Just leave it to me, okay?” Sharon added. “No need,” Stanley answered without hesitation. He had obviously made up his mind. Sharon knew that saying more would be futile so she compromised, “Then, promise me that you won’t do anything to him.” “Don’t worry,” Stanley reassured. Sharon let out a sigh of relief. “Alright, I’ll hold you to that.” At the mention of this issue, Sharon was irked as well. However, the trigger was not only because
The atmosphere seemed awkward and sullen. Everyone’s expressions were dark. Xyla could tell that the Sullivan family had laid out their conditions. Her father must have called her back to compromise. She remained unfazed and walked calmly over to them. “Uncle Sullivan, Aunt Ronson, you’re here…” No matter how annoyed she was with the Sullivan family, she had to remain polite on the surface. Tony and Bailey nodded at her indifferently. Xyla strode over to Jeremy and sat down beside him, asking, “Dad, did you call me home for something?” “It’s not much, really. Your Uncle Sullivan and Aunt Ronson just want to apologize to you, so they made me call you back,” said Jeremy. “Oh, I see,” Xyla replied faintly, shifting her gaze to Tony and Bailey. “Xyla, I’m sorry. I’m really, really sorry. Can you let Mary go?” Bailey looked sincere. “I’ve already told Uncle Sullivan what needed to be said when he called me. The answer is no,” said Xyla. “Alright then. Now that you’ve apologi
“I’ve made my decision. You can do whatever you want to take revenge on me, but the Quest family are not pushovers,” added Jeremy. He was ready to turn against them completely, because what Mary had done was too much. He would stand up for his daughter indefinitely. If a man couldn’t even support his daughter, how was he a man at all? A true man would never let those around him suffer any grievances. “Alright… I announce that our family will withdraw our investment. Return our eight billion at once. Weren’t you very strong-willed? I want to see how you’ll get eight billion dollars in such a short amount of time. When the project has to halt and you’re completely out of ideas, don’t come and beg us,” Bailey uttered every word through gritted teeth, her eyes filled with hatred. Vrrt, vrrt, vrrt…Just then, Jeremy’s phone vibrated. Seeing that it was his assistant calling, he immediately answered. Soon, the tender voice of a woman flowed from the other end, “Mr. President, someon
