The Sullivan family left the ward with Xyla Quest after bidding farewell to Jeremy Quest.As soon as he walked out of the ward, Tom Sullivan let out a long sigh. He quickly reached into his pocket for his car keys. “I'm going to go get the car now,” he said with his head lowered.After that, he left without turning back.Tom walked very quickly and did not even look up at anyone as he walked away.Julian Sullivan silently leaned against his wheelchair as Bailey Ronson wheeled him along. He fixed his eyes upon Tom from behind and narrowed his eyes suspiciously.However, after a second, he looked away and a gentle expression returned to his face.***When Xyla arrived home, Stanley Batton happened to be walking down the stairs and was looking at his phone with a concentrated expression on his face.He was wearing a white knit shirt and brown slacks, an outfit that couldn’t be simpler, but he made it seem unusually elegant and noble.“I was just about to look for you next door. W
“Happy New Year, President Xyla,” Georgie Clementine said.“Happy New Year, Georgie,” Xyla Quest replied. “Apart from wishing you a Happy New Year, I also have good news for you. Do you remember Morty Wayne, the mixed-blood youth we spotted playing piano at the restaurant the other day?” Georgie asked.“Yeah, I remember him. Have you signed him on?” Xyla asked with a smile.“Yeah, I went to his house early this morning to get him signed,” Georgie said.“Early this morning?” Although Xyla knew Georgie was a workaholic, she was not expecting her to go out and sign someone to their company this early in the morning.“It’s… It’s because I received news that other companies are now contacting him too. He has so much potential. I can’t let someone else claim him before we do. This year, it just so happens that my family is also here in Atlantis for the New Year celebrations. Since his family is also in Atlantis, I decided to head over directly. President Xyla, this isn’t why I’m here
The voice belonged to Cindy Snyder, a girl who sat next to Xyla Quest when they were in their third year of high school.“Cindy Snyder?” Xyla asked doubtfully. There was a look of disbelief in her eyes.The two of them sat next to each other in their third year in high school. Back then, they were extremely good friends. After they graduated, Cindy had gone abroad to study, and they rarely spoke to each other since.After Tom Sullivan betrayed Xyla, she had cut off all contact with her friends and family and gone to America alone. Ever since then, Xyla and Cindy had become completely out of touch.“It’s me… Xyla, do you remember me? I’m organizing a high school reunion in seven days at the Hilton Hotel. Will you come, please? I’ve done what I could on my own to invite all our classmates from Class A… If you don’t show up, it won’t be perfect.” Cindy’s voice was as gentle and pleasant as ever.“Sure,” Xyla agreed right away.After they graduated from high school, Xyla’s classmates
Georgie Clementine would never let the female actresses she managed miss such an opportunity.Georgie agreed to Fred Thomson’s invitation right away. After that, she quickly fixed her make-up and made her way to a café on the first floor of the Hilton Hotel, where Fred had suggested the meeting.At this time of the day, there weren’t many people in the café. Only a few tables were occupied.When Georgie arrived, Fred was already waiting for her at a table by the window.Middle-aged, Fred was balding, and he seemed out of place compared to the young people around him.When Fred saw Georgie, he waved at her enthusiastically.Georgie waved enthusiastically in return before walking over and sat across from him. She was wearing over-the-knee boots.“I wonder why Director Thomson has asked to meet me today?” Georgie cut to the chase.“Naturally, it’s about the casting of the female lead for my new drama series. Chief Clementine, I’m quite happy with the people you have recommended. I
How could Fred Thomson do this to such a young girl?The more Georgie Clementine thought about it, the more she felt disgusted. Her clenched fists began to tremble slightly under the table.“I will not agree to this,” Georgie said coldly as she pressed the record button on her phone.Fred’s facial expression instantly turned cold, and he began to scowl. “What? How dare you refuse? I’ll make your company suffer. Do you think I’m not capable of that?”Fred made sure his voice was as soft as possible, but he still sounded vicious.“Director Fred Thomson, are you saying that if I don’t send Wendy Simpson to sleep with you, you’ll make our company suffer?” Georgie snorted coldly.“Keep your voice down. And yes, you should know how influential I, Fred Thomson, am in the circle,” Fred responded resolutely in a lowered voice.“I know, but you should know that X Entertainment isn’t that easy to mess with,” Georgie said and snorted.“What do you mean?” Fred asked.Georgie didn’t say any
“If you do that, I’ll expose you. We can go down together. Do you think I’m weak just because I don’t display my strength? If you want to mess with our company, I’d suggest you do it quickly. Let’s see who dies first.” Georgie Clementine’s voice was just as low, but she sounded firm.With such substantial evidence in her hands, Fred Thomson wouldn’t dare act rashly even if he was very influential.Fred had no choice but to remain silent and be treated this way by Georgie.Henry Armstrong crossed one leg over the other lazily. The smile on his face widened as he thought to himself that the way Georgie scolded someone was appealing to him.Now, Georgie wanted to vomit at the sight of Fred. She no longer wanted to look at this person.Immediately, Georgie picked up her large LV handbag, turned around, and left.When she turned around, her eyes met Henry’s.Henry took the initiative to lift one hand to greet her.Georgie, however, completely ignored him and simply walked away. Her
“If you’re not convinced, go out there and ask for her WeChat account details. If you can get it, I’ll pay for all your expenses today. But if you can’t, you’ll have to buy Rachel a limited-edition Hermes handbag later. What do you think?” Sebastian Brenand asked.“I’m not afraid,” Henry Armstrong said as he glanced disdainfully at Sebastian. He then sauntered away. Georgie Clementine had just opened her car door when Henry left the café.Today, she drove her white Audi R8.The scene of a luxury car and a beautiful woman was a wondrous sight.“Georgie…” Henry approached her with his hands in his pockets and a smile on his face.Georgie nodded slightly at him. She seemed aloof.“We’ve met in the past,” Henry said.“Hmm.”“Please allow me to introduce myself formally. My name is Henry Armstrong,” Henry said with an extended hand.“Hello,” Georgie said and nodded without shaking his hand.“Has anyone ever told you that you seem aloof?” He asked. She seemed like a proud peacock
“She isn’t interested in me now. But how sure are you that she won’t be interested in me in the future?” Henry Armstrong asked.“… Fine. I can get you her WeChat account details, but you must buy Rachel two handbags. Limited-edition,” Sebastian said as he casually rested his chin on Rachel Wood’s shoulder and continued to look at Henry.“Okay, got it,” Henry waved his hand helplessly. ***Meanwhile, Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton were both still eating and drinking.Although Xyla was already full, she would still eat a bit more because Stanley’s cooking was very good.Xyla felt unusually enthralled by this precious time of the year when she could rest.Before they knew it, they had finished two bottles of red wine.Under the influence of alcohol, Xyla’s cheeks were a little flushed.Stanley, on the other hand, still looked the same. His facial expression had not changed at all.Xyla spoke twice as much as usual. She began to tug his hand and told him about her past.Xyla tol
