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.”

Xyla Quest stopped thinking about it as she focused her attention on work once more after putting her phone down.Meanwhile, in the Dragon Group CEO’s office, Stanley Batton leaned lazily against his revolving chair as he looked at Xyla’s social media page.With a look of focus on his face, he would occasionally smile without realizing it.He was wearing only a white shirt and a necktie tucked neatly under his collar after taking his coat off. He seemed incomparably noble.Xyla’s social media page was rather interesting. Usually, she would share little things about her day, where she went, what she ate, and what mood she was in. In fact, she would even include a picture for each post.The words she used in the texts were usually heartwarming and uplifting.However, her posts only dated back to a month ago. After going through the posts from the current month, he came to an end.Therefore, he exited from her social media page. Afterward, he glanced briefly at Xyla’s messages, which prom

“The sun is already up. Why are you still speaking as if you are in a dream?” Emily rolled her eyes at Xyla.Xyla could not be bothered even to speak. She moved past Emily and walked upstairs.Beep. Beep. Beep.Emily was about to run after Xyla to continue mocking her. However, right then, her phone rang. The browser had sent her a push notification about Josh Batton’s latest news.Her jaws nearly dropped when she read the title. “Josh Batton will be attending Imperial Prime’s launching ceremony tomorrow!”Emily was in a state of complete disbelief.With a contract worth eight million dollars, Josh Batton should only go as far as shooting some photos or a video to promote the launch. He should not have agreed to attend the launching ceremony.What was going on? Why was her idol being so nice to Xyla? Emily was beginning to feel jealous again.On top of that, she began to feel worried. What if Josh Batton did attend the event, and his fans ended up buying all of the units being sold?Ho

“Just you wait and see if I can do it,” Xyla Quest responded calmly. She did not even bother looking at Emily Quest.“Alright. If you can do it, I will broadcast myself doing a handstand.” Emily rolled her eyes at Xyla.“Get back to your room right now. You are not allowed to talk to your elder sister like that,” Jeremy Quest scoffed.Emily immediately went quiet and made her escape.***Due to Josh Batton’s presence, a huge audience turned up at Imperial Prime’s launching ceremony.By four o’clock in the morning, fans had already surrounded the temporarily enacted stage.Since Josh Batton had already reminded his fans to abide by the rules, everyone was cooperative. There was a perfectly empty road carved out, which allowed people to walk through to the property development’s sales gallery.When it was time for the official launch at eight o’clock in the morning, thousands had gathered. Although fans were all packed like sardines, nothing chaotic seemed to have taken place.With Josh
