“Just wait and see if I can do a good job,” Xyla Quest said calmly.Although Xyla did not speak loudly, she sounded firm and convincing.The confident look in Xyla’s eyes thoroughly annoyed May Conner.“I hope you don’t get overwhelmed by the stressful work. Sometimes, biting more than you can chew can end up being horrible for you,” May sneered.“Thank you for your concern, Aunty.” Xyla smiled and looked away.“I will wait for you to make a fool of yourself.” May rolled her eyes at Xyla before turning around and walking away.Right then, Xyla was in such a good mood that she could not be bothered by May. After turning around, Xyla turned to look at Stanley Batton, who was still standing there stiffly. “Thank you for saving me today.”Up until now, Xyla was still amazed by Stanley’s brave act of ramming into the sedan with her car.“You’re welcome.” He looked calmly at Xyla. “What property development is that?”“Oh. It’s the Imperial Prime in the city center.” Xyla chuckled.“How’s you

There were innate qualities of nobility and elegance about the tall man who walked away.Xyla could not help but think that people would perceive him as a high-class man from an ultra-rich family if they did not know his identity.With such good-looking physical appearances and noble qualities, he would outshine most people in the upper-class.After staring at him from behind for a few seconds longer, Xyla began driving home…Once Stanley arrived by the roadside, he gave Zack Cassidy a call. “Zack Cassidy… Buy a car just like the one I drove home last night.“Also, I think the property in Imperial Prime is decent.”“Imperial Prime? Doesn’t that belong to the Quest family? It’s a luxurious little neighborhood. I think it’s pretty good. Would you like to purchase a unit?” Zack Cassidy asked.“An entire building,” Stanley said.“Okay.”“Buy it one week later.”“Yes.”“I’m in front of the Quest family’s house. Send someone to pick me up.” Before Zack could respond, Stanley hung up.Closely

Tony Sullivan looked sternly at Tom Sullivan. “I don’t care how you feel about this. Since you now have a child on the way, you will continue to be with Emily. Let’s go home and get prepared for the wedding.”When Emily Quest heard what Tony said, a smile immediately appeared on her face. From a precarious situation before, she was now on cloud nine.Subconsciously, Emily rubbed her stomach. She thanked herself for having come up with this idea. Otherwise, Tom would have slipped away.In reality, she had texted the director of the obstetrics and gynecology department director long before they arrived to ask that he create a fake medical report for her. In return, she would sleep with him once more. The guy agreed without even hesitating.Personally, Emily had an addiction to sex. Since Tom could not satisfy her desires, she needed to sleep with different men every day.Therefore, having sex with other men in exchange for her desired benefits was not a big deal.“Oh, yeah, Tom. In this

“Oh, I understand now. The investment opportunity was just a decoy. Inviting us out to have a good time was also a decoy. The truth is that you want us to buy property from our sister-in-law, isn’t that so?” Henry had a look of realization on his face.“It will be launched in a week… You will each purchase a single block,” Stanley Batton said firmly to suggest it was non-negotiable.“D*mn! An entire block? You are asking for too much.” Henry groaned.“You are openly stealing from us!” Sebastian complained.Gary Lakes did not say anything. Instead, he touched his forehead helplessly. Apart from Stanley, Gary was the person who spoke the least.“So?” Stanley looked at each of them in turn. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking or feeling at the moment.“I’ll buy it.” Henry nodded helplessly. He felt that he was being forced to make a purchase.“I’ll buy it too. How can we not buy property from our sister-in-law’s family business?” Sebastian rolled his eyes at Stanley. ‘D*mn. My

“When I offered ten million dollars a year, this person completely ignored me. When I offered fifteen million dollars, he still ignored me. In the end, I stooped so low that I offered thirty million dollars.“I bet the most popular celebrities in the industry don’t even earn this much. Do you know how this person responded in the end?” Henry seemed even more depressed.“How?” Sebastian Brenand seemed very interested.“Three words. Forget about it,” Henry said.“Perhaps that person isn’t interested in becoming a professional player.” Gary Lakes patted Henry on his shoulder.“Thirty million dollars for a year of professional gaming. Who could turn that down?” Henry looked confused.“What if thirty million dollars isn’t even a large amount to this person?” Sebastian asked before emptying his glass of red wine. After that, he passed a cigar to each of them before standing up and lighting it up for Stanley Batton.“Could that person be from a rich family?” Gary added.“God knows. If he isn’

Emily Quest approached Xyla Quest almost as if she were a predator, ready to pounce at a moment’s notice. There was an expression of hatred on her face that was covered in make-up.“What do you want?” Xyla raised her brows coldly.“Nothing much. I just wanted to tell you that Brother Sullivan and I are getting married. In fact, we are getting married in two weeks.“I know you’ve always wanted to break us up to exact revenge on me so that I would lose everything.“However, Xyla Quest, I’m letting you know that your plans will never succeed.“I now bear the Sullivan family’s child. I have a stable position. Even if you try anything dirty, you won’t be able to drag me down.“You have always been my defeated foe.

Logically speaking, the other party did not have to refuse Tom Sullivan’s offer.Now that something like this had happened, someone else was clearly pulling a prank on Emily Quest apart from Xyla.Who was this person? Could it be one of the Sullivan family’s competitors? Regardless of who did it, Xyla found this entire ordeal to be impressive.As soon as May Conner heard what Emily Quest said, she immediately pressed her ear against Emily’s phone.Emily pushed May away, annoyedly, before walking over to the French window.“Can’t you understand the human language? I was just about to call you and ask you about who you messed with.” Tom Sullivan sounded very angry.“Who else could I have messed with? Xyla Quest is the only person… Xyla must be behind this!
