“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

Josh’s fans were going wild. Every single one of them was screaming at the top of their lungs. They had lost their senses—“Ahhh…! Ahhh…!”“Josh Batton! Josh Batton!!!”When Emily Quest saw Josh, her eyes lit up immediately. She could not contain her excitement.It had been a long time since she last went to his live concert. Emily could not help but think that her idol had become even more handsome. His look today was extremely attractive!Emily was like a teenage girl who had just met her crush.Accompanied by the sound of music and screaming from the crowd, Josh began dancing with one of his female dancers while he sang.The upbeat music and his alluring movements made all the off-stage fans scream at the top of their lungs.Everyone was hyped.Meanwhile, off-stage, Xyla felt just as excited as everyone else when she saw Josh performing. She began screaming along with the audience.Simultaneously, ‘#Josh Dances#’ soon became the second most popular topic on the internet. The word ‘e

Although Emily Quest had spent so much money on Josh Batton, she never received this kind of treatment from him. Each time, she could only look at Josh from afar. Now, Xyla was able to do something Emily could only dream about with ease. What right did Xyla have to do that?After the ribbon was cut, Josh proceeded to leave while Xyla walked into the sales gallery behind her with a group of people.When Emily saw this, she hurriedly got out of her car and made her way through the crowd to the sales gallery. Emily was here to watch Xyla get embarrassed and see how downtrodden Xyla would be once she realized the harsh reality.Suddenly, the sales gallery became packed. When Xyla saw that the salespeople were fully occupied, she decided to join them as she began introducing the property’s information to customers.Emily watched with disdain. However, instead of moving closer, she stayed by the door and observed silently.‘So what if there are a lot of people? They are just here to enjoy th

Sharon Lindt smiled satisfactorily before retrieving a tiny compact mirror from her pocket to check her make-up.After making sure that she looked fine, she turned to look at her friends. “How’s my make-up? Does it really look okay with my outfit?” “No problem,” one of the rich wives said.Only then did Sharon stop worrying. She began walking with her friends through the crowd to get to Xyla Quest.“Hello, pretty lady. We would like to buy your property,” Sharon said straightforwardly. She had a wide smile on her face as she tried to conceal her excitement.Xyla immediately turned to look at the group of women. At one glance, she could sense they were an unusual group of people from the upper-class.In particular, the lady she was speaking to was beautiful. From head to toe, the lady had fair and smooth skin. She must have been a great beauty when she was younger.“What sizes of units would you prefer?” Xyla asked politely with a smile on her face.“We all want the biggest ones,” Shar

After the contracts were signed, the ladies proceeded to make their respective payments.The entire process took less than an hour.Once everyone had made their payments, Sharon Lindt got up from the couch and held Xyla Quest’s hand affectionately. “Are you tired, my sweet child?”Xyla was very touched by Sharon’s affectionate attitude. She immediately smiled and answered, “I’m not tired, Aunty. Are you tired?”Not only were these people rich, but they were also extremely nice to her. Xyla liked them a lot.“I’m not tired. When I see you, all my tiredness simply vanishes.” Sharon’s eyes were filled with joy.Xyla smiled shyly. “You’re making me feel embarrassed.”“It’s true. After all, you really do look good.” Sharon held Xyla’s hand tightly, almost as if she was Xyla’s crazy fan.Emily Quest, who overheard the conversation by the door, rolled her eyes with jealousy.“Thank you, Aunty. You look great too. Your skin and body are very well taken care of.” Xyla was slightly surprised by

“I would like to buy this building.”“I want this one.”“Give me this.”“Well, I’ll take this one then.”The four men said eagerly without even taking a moment to consider.Xyla Quest was beginning to doubt whatever she was seeing. What was going on? Why did so many people want to buy buildings one after another this early in the morning?Why did all the wealthy people gather here today? Was it because the promotion was very well done, coupled with the fact that their property development was in a strategic location? Was that why the wealthy folks wanted to invest in them?This was the only possibility Xyla could think of.While Xyla asked these questions in her mind, she guided the men to get their contracts signed.After that, the men paid and left without beating around the bush.Emily Quest, who observed this happening before her eyes, was so angry that she could not find the words.Within a short time, Emily witnessed Xyla successfully selling nineteen buildings. Xyla had taken a

When May Conner saw what Emily Quest did, she immediately snatched the wine glass away from Emily. May tapped Emily on her arm. “My child, are you mad? Since you are pretending to be pregnant, you should act the part. Why are you drinking? What if your dad or other people see you?”Emily frowned unhappily before she looked around. “It’s late already. Everyone has gone to sleep. Who would see me? Besides, I’m not that unlucky.”“Please be careful!” May said seriously.“I know,” Emily snorted coldly. She appeared fully confident.Outside, a red Maserati came to a halt in the courtyard. Exhausted, Xyla Quest gave her forehead a pinch before she unbuckled her seatbelt.However, instead of getting out of the car immediately, she plopped down into her seat and zoned out.Ever since the preparations for the property launch started, she had been working overtime. She continuously motivated herself to keep working hard. Now that she had accomplished her goal and was completely exhausted, she ap

Jeremy Quest could not be bothered to respond to May Conner. Instead, he continued to look at Xyla Quest affectionately. “Xyla, go to bed. Oh, right. I have already transferred Emily’s five percent of shares to your account.”“Okay. Thank you, Dad.” Xyla chuckled as she stood on her tiptoes to give Jeremy a peck on his cheek. After that, she exhaustedly made her way upstairs.After Jeremy glared at his wife and younger daughter, he walked upstairs in a huff.“If Xyla Quest continues to stay in the limelight, the Quest family’s business will really end up in her hands!” Emily said frantically.“Therefore, we must do something more extreme to her.” May had a cunning look on her face.“I asked you to check on something before. How is it going?” May asked.“I’m still looking into it.”***“Fifth Master, these are the receipts from Master Armstrong, Master Lakes, and Master Brenand.”Buried in a deep pile of work in front of his high-class desk made of Narra wood, Stanley Batton slowly lift
