Chapter 680
The people surrounded the coffee table in the living room.Most of May Conner’s relatives were there. Emily Quest, Tom Sullivan, Tony Sullivan, Bailey Ronson, and Julian Sullivan were also there.Initially, there weren’t enough seats for everyone. They had to add several couches at the last minute.Now, everyone was having a good time. The only people whose smiles were forced were members of the Sullivan family.As soon as Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton walked through the door, hand in hand, they became the center of attention.All eyes were on the two of them.Since May’s relatives had also found out about Stanley’s identity, they now looked at Stanley with an even greater sense of admiration.The young girls, especially, couldn’t take their eyes off him for even a second.Throughout the whole process, Stanley remained calm and polite. He slowly walked over to the rest and greeted the elders one at a time.After that, Stanley sat down with Xyla next to Jeremy before placing th

Xyla Quest’s relatives were still complimenting her.When May Conner and Emily Quest saw how Xyla and Stanley Batton had become the center of attention, they felt extremely upset.In the past, when Xyla had become ugly and ran away, May and Emily would always be the center of attention.However, ever since Xyla returned in a grand fashion, things were never the same again…Emily couldn’t stand listening to all of it any longer. She stood up and walked right out the door.When Xyla saw Emily leaving, her eyes turned cold. After that, she smiled at her relatives and excused herself before heading out.In the courtyard, the fragrance of spring was strong. The intensity of sunlight was just lovely, and there were soft breezes in the air.In a little garden, countless flowers of all sorts were in full bloom, and the various colors were mesmerizing.When Emily saw that Xyla came out, she knew very clearly why that was.Emily immediately pretended to be extremely depressed as she lea

When Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton heard this, neither of them said a word. All they did was listen silently while May Conner boasted.When their relatives heard what May said, they immediately started expressing how much they envied Emily Quest.“What? Do you mean to say that it’s like Tom was the one who bought all those flowers for Emily? Does that mean their relationship is smooth sailing once again?”“Oh my god. Emily has really done well for herself… From now on, I’ll argue with anyone who says the Sullivan family is not doing well.”“The Sullivan family sure is rich. Emily got married to a good person.”When May heard what everyone was saying, she immediately felt pleased. “Oh, I’m not too sure. Anyway, Emily told me that Tom was contacting someone about planting roses. It’s just a guess on my part. I haven’t asked him.”“Is that true?” Jeremy was wide-eyed.May nodded.“When did the flowers I plant become Tom Sullivan’s?” Stanley, who had been silent all this while, sud

Jeremy Quest saw how envious his relatives were, and he felt immensely proud on the inside.“Isn’t that so? Xyla really did get married to a good person.” May Conner was forced to put in some good words. After that, she turned to look at the Dior bag on the table and changed the topic. “Xyla, what did you get your father?” she asked.“It’s the newest men’s watch from Dior.” Xyla chuckled.“How nice. I bet it must be expensive,” May said.“Not too bad… About 500,000 dollars,” Xyla said.“You always give us expensive gifts. Emily gave your father a watch too, and it cost 1,000,000 dollars. Also, Uncle Sullivan gave your father a golden tortoise. It’s huge, and it costs several hundred thousand too…” May said.Xyla knew what May was trying to imply. May was simply trying to compare her gift to Emily’s, and she wanted to make Emily and the Sullivan family’s presence known.Indirectly, May wanted to imply that the Sullivan family was better than the Batton family because they offered

“These things must individually cost more than that golden tortoise, right?”“Yeah… These are probably all antique items…”“That golden tortoise isn’t even an antique, is it?”“No, it isn’t…”The relatives began discussing softly among themselves.When May Conner listened to them, she immediately felt embarrassed again.If she had known this would happen, she wouldn’t have boasted and made the comparison earlier!Seeing how pleased her father appeared, Xyla felt very thankful to the Batton family.Xyla’s gaze softened.“Isn’t Stanley’s parents being too generous? These gifts prove how important Xyla is in the family.”“Oh my god. The amount of wealth on display here seems even grander than the gifts emperors give as rewards in those period dramas.”“Indeed, the Batton family is supremely wealthy. Even their gifts are unusually expensive.”These relatives were all staring at these gifts, and they seemed to desire them more than anything.Suddenly, they all wished they were

The tournament’s live stream had exceeded ten million views on each website. Xyla Quest’s face was rigid with tension as she walked up the stage with her team members.Live tournaments and pastimes were two different cases. She could never allow herself to make mistakes today and cause her team to lose such an important game. Putting on the headset, Xyla adjusted her keyboard firmly and took a deep breath. She was wearing Team QPG’s uniform, consisting of a set of black Nike sportswear with a white Nike T-shirt. There were various sponsors’ labels all over her body. Her hair was pulled back into a youthful high ponytail, and her makeup was light yet appealing. She was just like a gaming goddess sitting in front of the computer. The team’s Jungler, Simon, was the first to notice Xyla's anxiety. He whispered into the microphone, “Don’t be nervous, boss. You can do it. Just play like how you usually would during training, and everything will be fine.”Levi, the team’s Supp

Soon, the game began.As soon as the game started, four enemies surrounded two of them in the bottom lane. Unfortunately, Xyla Quest and the Support were killed by them in the very next second due to Xyla’s mistake.The opponent had also broken one of the turret’s plates. Everyone in the stadium was on tenterhooks seeing their awful way to start the game. Xyla’s mistake had also caused a big stir in the live stream pop-ups. “Why doesn’t Xyla run? She could’ve just run! I had high hopes for her, but it turns out that she’s just a noob.”“Why doesn’t she try to run? Why? Ugh, she has ruined my mood.”“Holy sh*t! The bottom lane has already collapsed at the beginning.”“Team QPG is going to lose for sure. I take back what I said about Xyla earlier. She’s a f*cking rookie.”“What was she doing just now? Esport is a high standard competition. Get out of here if you can’t match the level of a professional gamer!”Xyla totally had no idea that people were cursing at her madly o

“What’s going on? This is the best game Team QPG has ever played!”“Her operation was amazing! Did you see that group battle at the end? She dodged all the attacks with her daring maneuver! All of them!”“Cool!!! Xyla is so cool that I felt goosebumps!”The audience screamed like lions.The marvelous game had set pulses racing all over the world. Xyla Quest and the rest of the team members were over the moon with their win. There and then, Xyla felt that she was not so nervous anymore. The competition was just like the regular game, after all. Xyla shined like a star on the stage, whereas Stanley Batton gazed at her with a proud smile off stage. Sharon Lindt and Catherine Batton had already lost their sanity. They were constantly clutching each other’s hands and staring at Xyla with admiration written all over their faces. “Why is my sister-in-law so talented? I’m really impressed by her!” Catherine cried. “My daughter-in-law is the best, okay? I’m falling in love wit
