“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. It is your fate to be envious of me.” Emily kept her hand up to block Xyla’s way while she spoke with a satisfied expression on her face.Once Emily became Tom Sullivan’s wife, she would have the upper hand in the fight for the Quest family’s inheritance.With her in-laws’ support

When Xyla Quest first paid for the news article to be on the list of most popular topics on the internet, she only paid for a single day’s worth of exposure. 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! She was the one who paid for the story to be on the list of most popular topi

Xyla intended to look for Five Batton so that she could return five hundred thousand dollars to him. However, she then realized that he had never given her his contact details.Since too many bad things were happening in the day, and the fact that Stanley had left in a hurry, she forgot about returning him the money.Although she now recalled it, there was no way she could transfer the money to him. She could only hope to bump into him again in the future.If they did meet again, she would return him five hundred thousand dollars with certainty.***At ten o’clock in the morning, Xyla woke up naturally.After stretching her arms on her comfortably soft bed, she slowly sat up.Her long, black, wavy hair untangled around her to give her a somewhat lazy appearance. Right then, she looked like a lazy yet expensive cat, which was enjoying an afternoon nap in the summer.Beep. Beep. Beep.Xyla’s phone began to ring. When Xyla glanced lazily at her phone next to her bed, she saw that it was f

This was the first time in twenty-eight years someone thought of Stanley as a poor person.“I have some savings. I borrowed the rest from my boss,” Stanley answered calmly.“How much did you borrow?” Xyla asked.“Approximately three million dollars. I’ll pay him back over time,” he added.Xyla did not hesitate to shove the car keys into his pocket before gently patting the car’s hood. “Listen to me and return this immediately. It’s not worth getting into debt over a car.“Besides, haven’t I told you not to pay me for the car? You were the one who saved my life. How could I ask you to pay for my car?” Xyla seemed determined.“If you don’t want it, throw it away,” Stanley said calmly before returning the car keys to her and walking away.Xyla was truly dumbfounded. She had no idea why this person was in such a hurry to return her money. If he had a lot of spare cash, she might have been able to understand. However, the fact was that he was not exactly wealthy.Xyla immediately ran after

After breakfast, Xyla headed over to her company directly.As soon as Xyla sat down in her office, someone knocked on the door. Georgie Clementine walked in with a large pile of documents before placing them down in front of Xyla.“These all require your signature. Oh yeah, I have already arranged everything with Josh Batton. He will sing two songs before the launch of Imperial Prime next Tuesday.”“OK.” Xyla smiled as she gestured an ‘OK’ sign with her hand.“If someone as famous as him is there, the venue will definitely be packed. Consequently, I’m sure the sales will go smoothly. As long as you perform well in managing this new development project, you will have a bright future.” Georgie was very confident about Xyla.Xyla chuckled softly. “I hope what you say comes true.”“Oh, yeah. Have you checked Weibo’s most popular topic on the internet today?” Georgie asked curiously.“Why?” Xyla seemed confused.“The story about your sister is still the most popular topic on the internet.”
