Very soon, the hall became noisy again. Everyone was drinking and dancing, and nobody paid attention to what happened earlier.Sharon Lindt quickly turned Xyla Quest around. She placed both hands on Xyla’s shoulders and looked at her admiringly.“Xyla, let me have a good look at you. You seem like a quiet girl, but why did you look so on fire when you danced earlier? Did you take dancing lessons at school? I never knew you were so good at dancing,” Sharon said.Xyla shook her head. “No… I only started learning when Grandpa was helping me recover.”“What? Alright. Perhaps, you are naturally gifted.” A look of shock appeared in Sharon’s eyes.“Mom… You should stop praising me so much.” Xyla touched her hair embarrassedly.“How could I not praise you? Xyla, I admire you and feel proud of you a lot…” Sharon said.Sharon never held back when she praised Xyla.Stanley Batton, on the other hand, kept quiet and looked at Xyla affectionately.“Xyla, let’s dance for a while longer, shal
Stanley Batton slowly took two white handkerchiefs out of his pocket.After handing one over to Sharon Lindt, he used the other to wipe the sweat off Xyla Quest’s forehead gently and neck.He was very gentle when he did this.“I’ll do it myself…” Xyla held Stanley’s hand and said.“Allow me.” Stanley looked gently at Xyla and continued to wipe her sweat away.The woman who tried to seduce Stanley, as well as her friends, witnessed all of this.They were greatly stunned by Stanley’s drastic change in attitude.Meanwhile, they were also very much impressed with Xyla’s good looks.Now, the woman who tried to seduce Stanley knew why she failed.Xyla was a real beauty, but what about her…? Was she just a wildflower in the corner that would never be noticed?“I didn’t think he could be so gentle.”“That woman is so pretty… It explains why her husband wouldn’t cheat on her.”“She looks a little familiar.”“That man treats everyone coldly except for his wife, whom he also is very
Netizens believed everything that was said, and they were all criticizing Xyla Quest within the comment section.“I don’t care what happened. Cheating can’t be forgiven, right? Is it true that she’s a b*tch like everyone claimed?”“How could things have gotten this disgusting? Xyla Quest, aren’t you ashamed of yourself?”“My entire family’s shocked. Xyla really is a lewd woman. She looks pure on the outside, but she’s disgusting on the inside. Ugh…”“The Quest family is very unfortunate to have a daughter like her. Xyla, will you just die already?”“Her husband is very nice to her. Didn’t he decorate the city with flowers? He’s done so much for her. What else does she want?”Xyla felt very annoyed by all these comments.After briefly scrolling through, she clicked on the topic related to flowers being decorated all over the city.At the top, one of the netizens posted a Weibo article while claiming to be Xyla’s distant relative.The person said that Xyla really was the recipie
This message was from Weibo’s news platform…Xyla Quest seemed shocked. Subconsciously, she gasped and looked over to Stanley Batton, who was next to her.However, he didn’t react at all. He continued to type on his keyboard as if nothing had happened.Although the tapping sound on his keyboard wasn’t loud, it sounded pleasant because of how quickly he was typing.“Did… Did you expose your identity?” Xyla asked.“Yeah.” Stanley seemed calm as usual.“But… Hasn’t the Batton family always been particular about keeping the identities of everyone in the family private?” Xyla asked.Xyla really didn’t think Stanley would expose his identity.The Batton family had a unique background. For its family members’ safety, information about each individual of the family had always been kept a secret.For many years, the outside world knew very little about this family.Nobody in the family had ever openly revealed their identities online.Previously, when they exposed themselves during t
Xyla Quest’s level of popularity surpassed that of Josh Batton’s.The number of views on that topic went up to three billion, and there were up to 250 million comments.Likewise, there were a lot of netizens expressing their shock about the topic.In fact, many people began sharing pictures of Stanley Batton from before.They continuously praised him for his good looks.Everyone’s attention shifted from the rumors of Xyla cheating on her husband to her husband…Xyla turned around to look at Stanley.Right then, he still looked as if nothing had happened. He was sitting upright while he worked on his laptop, and he had a serious expression on his face.Whenever he was focused on doing one thing, he seemed cold and noble.“We’re both on the list of trending topics,” Xyla said.“Hmm.” Stanley didn’t seem bothered.“The topic has blown up now…” Xyla said honestly.“Hmm,” Stanley answered calmly.“Everyone’s praising you…” Xyla said.“Hmm.” Stanley was still calm as usual.“W
The strong, tingling sensation caused Xyla Quest to take a deep breath.Subconsciously, she glanced over at her expensive diamond watch by the bedhead and noticed it was already close to noon.She immediately glared at Stanley angrily. “Stanley, I woke up late because of you again…”“Hmm…”“You… You shouldn’t do this next time,” Xyla added.“Hmm. I’ll keep that in mind,” Stanley said.Xyla rolled her eyes at Stanley.‘Keep that in mind? Doesn’t he say this every time? When has he ever actually kept that in mind?’ Xyla thought.“Beep, beep, beep…” Right then, Stanley’s phone started ringing.Xyla ignored him. After adjusting her white silk pajamas, she went right into the bathroom.Once Xyla was out of sight, Stanley reached for his phone and looked at the screen.When he saw that the call was from Henry Armstrong, he picked up. He then slowly sat up and leaned lazily against the bedhead.“Zack Cassidy told me you didn’t come into the office today,” Henry said. His voice was
It was a WeChat message from Stanley Batton. “Good luck for today’s match. I’ll be there to watch you.”After replying to Stanley with an ‘OK’, Xyla Quest sat at her desk.She turned on her computer, but she didn’t immediately get to work. Instead, she opened Weibo to check the list of trending topics for today.Xyla, Stanley, Josh Batton, and Shawn Gilbert’s names were still on the list.Apart from news about them, Xyla also saw ‘#Team XS and Team IM’s grand finale#’ on the top ten list of trending topics.There was the word ‘sizzling’ at the end of the hashtag.Xyla clicked on it excitedly.She immediately saw some messages from verified e-sports accounts regarding this season’s grand finale between Team XS and Team IM at five o’clock this afternoon.E-sports fans in the stadium were all predicting the winner of this match.Most of them placed their bets on Team IM winning.“Although Team XS is strong because it has Xyla Quest this year, I think Team IM stands a better chan
In an instant, comments flooded the live broadcasting channel.“What? Holy crap! A rich, classy, pretty girl and a tall, rich, handsome man. They are perfect for each other!”“Stanley Batton really does look like a dominant CEO. The way he looks at Xyla is making my heart melt.”“Am I the only person who noticed the love bites around his neck? It’s so sweet!”“This is too darn sweet!”Very soon, players from Team XS and Team IM selected their heroes.As usual, Team XS went with two AD heroes. While the top lane chose Kalista, the Jungler chose Lee Sin, the mid lane chose Ryze, and the bottom lane chose Xayah and Rakan.Meanwhile, Team IM also used two AD heroes. While the top lane chose Lucian, the Jungler chose Elise, the mid lane chose Orianna, and the bottom lane chose Caitlyn and Tahm Kench.Netizens commented on the live broadcast channel.“Hahaha… Are they really going for that? Good luck, Alex! Beat the hell out of Team XS’s top lane.”“Team IM and Alex will definitely
