If Mary Sullivan didn’t offend her, she would not try to out bid her for the flower vase and leave her in such a situation.Xyla Quest, that b*tch!**The next morning, Xyla woke up early.Because there was not much activity in the morning, she lazily got into the bathroom. She turned on the warm water for the bathtub, added a bath bomb and some rose petals.She comfortably sat in the bathtub, surrounded by rose petals with a face mask on her face.Her body was mostly covered in bubble foam, only her two white as snow long arms were visible. It made her look very seductive.Even though her injury on her left shoulder has been healed, it still left an ugly and disgusting looking giant red scar.Ring, ring, ring… The phone beside the bathtub rang. Xyla noticed that it was Rebecca Robin who was calling. She immediately picked up the phone, put it on speaker mode and continued to enjoy her bubble bath. “Hello Aunt Rebecca, how are you?”“Xyla, remember at yesterday’s auction I bou

The next second, Xyla Quest could smell a familiar cologne smell flow through her nose.She lifted her head. She noticed she was in a man’s embrace.His hands on her forehead, protecting it so she did not feel any pain.The guy said with a deep voice from the top of her head, “You came to get a hug from me early in the morning?”Xyla got embarrassed, her face went red. She stepped back and looked into his deep eyes. “What are you saying?”Her bathrobe was a bit revealing. From the angle he was looked at, he could see her alluring lines on her body. It made him stiff.He frowned, “I’ll go open the door… you wait here.”“There’s no need, I can get it…”“No, you're not allowed…” He said as he opened her room door and pushed her back into her room.Stanley Batton did not let her say another word and quickly walked towards the front door.Since someone is going to open the door for her, Xyla decided to go back to the bathroom and start washing up.After quickly showering, she wor

Buzz… Buzz… Buzz… At this moment, Xyla Quest’s phone vibrated. She looked towards it.She saw that it was her dad who was calling, she quickly picked it up, “Tomorrow is your aunt’s birthday, there would be a celebration tomorrow noon at the house. There would be a lot of people attending… You and Stan must attend.”“We will, Dad.”“Remember to dress formally, there will be important guests attending.” Jeremy Quest said.“Ok.”After hanging up the phone, Xyla looked up at the man standing in front of her. “Tomorrow is May Conner’s birthday, Dad wants us to attend. You have to accompany me, is that alright?”“Ok.” His words were like gold. He walked towards the dining room, “Let’s eat breakfast…”Xyla stood up and followed him to the dining room.After sitting down, she drank a sip of orange juice and picked up her phone. She called Sharon Lindt. In order to eat, she set her phone on hands-free mode and put it beside her.When the call got through, she asked Sharon when she wou

An unknown flame surged through Xyla Quest's heart immediately. Her face which initially had a smile on it froze at that moment. She quickened her footsteps at that instant and stared at that woman with cold eyes.“I have no interest in plastic girls and easy girls…” Stanley Batton coldly replied. He had never even laid his eyes on the girl. His dashing eyebrows were squeezed together and he was not even trying to hide his disgust towards her. “What? Easy girl?” The girl got so angry, even her face turned green.“Who else could it be? Miss easy girl, you took my seat.” Xyla stood in front of her and squinted at her from above. Her eyes were filled with indifference. Stanley’s calm gaze laid onto Xyla’s countenance. The corners of his lips curved into an arc which looked like a smile yet it wasn’t.The girl frowned unhappily and stood up right away. She looked at Stanley angrily before looking at Xyla and said, “You… you two went too far.”“If you have the nerve to seduce some

“Hey, come pick me up at the airport, I have arrived at the Atlantis Airport…” A sweet feminine voice was heard from the other side of the phone.“Didn’t you say that you will be arriving at night?” His voice was starting to become gentle. It was rare to see him being this gentle. She could not clearly hear whose call was that, but she guessed that she might be a very important person to him.“I’ll send someone to fetch you… By that time, wait for me obediently at the hotel, alright?” He said.“Can’t you fetch me by yourself? I miss you…” “I can’t, good girl…” He said.At this moment, Xyla Quest only felt that her heart was tugged by something.Wait for him at the hotel...Could it be that this was his new girlfriend?He was originally single, she knew that very well. However, that did not mean that he would be single forever.Judging by his tone, both of them should be passionately in love. Even if they were not, they should be in an ambiguous relationship, right?

Soon, a gap opened at the door. A girl with blonde hair tied into two ponytails and bangs of uniform length popped her head out through the door.The girl looked at him with her head slanted and a gorgeous smile. Her almond-shaped eyes filled with innocence were pure and the dimples around the corner of her mouth made her look extra cute.“Why are you here this late?” She complained. Her voice was sweet and clear.“I had something to do, why did you dye your hair? It looks horrible…” He frowned slightly with a look of disgust.Although his eyes were filled with disgust, his movements and eye contact were very gentle.The girl opened the door fully and rolled her eyes at him straightaway. “This colour is trendy this year, alright? Don’t you have any taste?”“Alright, alright… I have no taste, happy with that?” After he said that, he gently caressed her hair and walked into her room.The girl closely followed him from behind and sat onto the couch together with him.She then cr

“Hmph… I’m not a kiddo anymore, I’m eighteen.”“Kiddo…” Stanley gently caressed her hair once again.He stayed in the room and talked to Catherine for a while longer. After that, he got a call from the company and left straightaway.Catherine Batton went to take a quick bath. She changed into a pastel pink floral dress, matched with a white knitted jacket and a pair of little white shoes. She then grabbed her ID card and went straight to a cybercafe nearby.There were no private rooms left and she did not like to have too many people around her. Therefore, she booked a row of computers and sat randomly in front of one.After she switched on the computer, she clicked into League of Legends and got into a team.At that moment, a group of youngsters came in. They placed their IDs accordingly onto the counter. They were led by a youngster with blonde hair. He leaned against the counter slovenly while looking at the beautiful manager and said, “Get us six computers…”“I’m sorry but w

After she said that, Catherine Batton stretched her neck once again and continued to squint at the boys while frowning.“You… You… Look at how bad you had beaten me up! I'm going to make you pay!” The blonde youngster pointed at Catherine’s face while panting. Meanwhile, his other hand was still covering his weakest spot. He panted in pain while stuttering. “Do you know what the right of self-defence is? And you still want money for that? Who do you think you are?” Catherine snorted coldly and started to warm up her fists.The group of boys who were led by the blonde youngster were frightened to death when they witnessed that scene. Strong flashes of timidity appeared in each of their eyes and their bodies started to tremble subconsciously.“You… What are you trying to do?” The blonde youngster was pointing at her while trembling uncontrollably.“To beat y’all up once again, of course,” Catherine spoke casually. Her sentence ended with a smile like a blooming flower.Although sh
