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

“After the interview, Xyla Quest bowed politely to all the workers before leaving the stage. Suddenly, the audience started screaming at the top of their lungs. “Ahhhhhhh!!! My idol!!!”“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Josh Batton, I love you!!!!!!!!!”Xyla immediately turned in the direction of the noises. A black figure was lowering his cap while dashing to the exit. It was Josh Batton. The audience chased after him, frantically, like a swarm of bees. However, Josh was running very fast. It seemed that they would not easily catch him up. However, even so, Xyla was still worried about his safety. She quickly approached the security guards guarding the stage and ordered, “Follow Josh Batton. Keep an eye on him.”Hearing the order, the security guards ran out of the stadium at once. Stanley Batton stepped forward, slowly sliding his hand into hers. “Don’t worry. There are bodyguards outside. They’ll protect him.”Only then did Xyla get the load off her mind and nodded obediently.

Stanley Batton wrapped his arm around her shoulder and sat quietly. He would gently stroke her hair from time to time. The gorgeous couple was acting all lovey-dovey. Everyone in the room was looking enviously at them. Xyla Quest logged onto her Weibo account to take a look at the trending list today.Five out of the first ten hot topics were about the game tonight. #Josh Batton Watching The Game##Xyla Quest Splendid Operation##Doting Gazes From Xyla Quest’s Husband##Team QPG Victory##Team QPG 3:0#Xyla tapped on the first hot topic. The first thing that came into her sight was a netizen’s screenshot of the live stream just now. In the screenshot, Josh Batton watched Xyla on the stage from afar, his eyes filled with tenderness.Josh’s fans went crazy instantaneously. “I must’ve gone mad! I should’ve gone to the stadium today. Why didn’t I go to watch the match? Ugh, I regret it.” “I didn’t know Xyla and Josh are so close. His schedule is really tight, but he’s

She glared at the chill man resentfully. “Are you even human?”Stretching his long arms, the man pulled her into his embrace and held her tightly, his chin rubbing her hair repeatedly. “This isn’t how you looked just now.”Xyla Quest’s blush seared through her cheeks, all the way to her neck. Her heart leaped up as if it was electrocuted. “Shameless.”“Good girl… I’ll be more careful next time.”Be more careful next time? Was he trying to fool a three-year-old kid? He said that every single time. But guess what?He was only getting more aggressive. “If a man’s word can be trusted, I guess the pigs can live on the tree too.” A chuckle escaped the man’s lips. “Shall we take a bath?” “Okay… Carry me. I can’t move at all.” Xyla wrapped her arms around his neck and pouted. Stanley Batton placed one arm around her back and scooped the other arm around the bend in her knees, lifting her effortlessly. Then, he made his way to the bathroom. He filled the bathtub with warm w
