Inside the private room of a classy coffee shop in town, Emily Quest and May Connor were sitting near the windows as they drank their coffees and had dessert leisurely. Both of them seemed to be in a wonderful mood. “It must be chaotic over there by now. I think Xyla will be getting back all the units she has sold previously.” “Mom, do you think Xyla will look extremely battered by now? Oh my, I really want to go over and see just how unfortunate she looks.” Having said that, Emily scoffed before she leisurely held up her coffee and took a sip. “Regardless of who it is that is facing such a situation, it’s impossible for them to make it out unscathed. Even if Xyla is almighty, she definitely can’t handle something like this.” May was smiling cheekily as she elegantly stirred her coffee. “She has to deal with the rumors about Imperial Prime and handle those who want a refund and various upcoming sales issues on the other. If I were her, I’d have gone mad. Hahaha…” Emily coul
Now, not only the building crisis had been resolved, but Sharon and her group had also bought the remaining units. This sudden fortune made Xyla overjoyed. Dragging her exhausted body, Xyla went over to the sofa and sat down. Xyla had just sat down when a few sales staff quickly surrounded her, praising her one by one. “President Quest is really amazing. You have really sharp eyes to be able to find the troublemaker in such a huge crowd.” “Not only is our President Quest good-looking, but she’s also especially capable. She has managed to resolve the huge crisis so easily.” “Not only is the crisis resolved, but all units have been sold out as well. President Quest, what kind of extraordinary deity are you? That composed attitude you had in the face of danger was so cool!” Everyone was flattering her. Xyla’s lips immediately curled into a gentle smile as she glanced at them. “Alright, alright, stop flattering me. Are you guys trying to make me float?” “Hehe, we’re only spea
“I went to Imperial Prime today.” Sharon sounded excited. Stanley raised an eyebrow. He got up and leisurely walked to the large french window emotionlessly. “Oh.” After that, he pinched his nose bridge then placed a hand on the railing as he looked at the bustling city below him. The man was like a wise but emotionless monarch. “Don’t you have something to say?” “And then?” he asked faintly. “And then, you don’t know just how amazing your wife is.” Sharon was getting more excited as she spoke. She started telling Stanley about everything she saw at the sales center enthusiastically. Sharon chattered on endlessly with vivid descriptions. The adoration was clear in her voice. Stanley was listening with great satisfaction as a smile of approval graced his lips. “Say, how are you so lucky? If I were a man, I’d definitely be envious of you,” Sharon added. “Oh,” he replied calmly without saying more, as usual. “And you, you rascal! Something so huge has happened to your
“Who do you think you are? If my predictions are correct, after this incident today, Father will lose all confidence in you. Congratulations!” Emily Quest continued to mock, feeling better the more she spoke. Emily felt extremely accomplished for mocking a failure. After holding herself back the entire day, Xyla’s patience was at its limit. She clenched her fists. However, she forced back her emotions once more because there was no longer a need for her to take physical action. “Sit in the living room and wait for me,” said Xyla. “What for?” “I have an announcement to make,” said Xyla calmly. She glanced at Emily’s face nonchalantly before she headed upstairs. “What announcement? An announcement that you’re backing out of Imperial Prime?” Emily was getting cheekier as she spoke. “Yeah.” Having said that, Xyla went upstairs. Since all the units of Imperial Prime had been sold, wasn’t it time for her to back out? As she watched Emily’s delighted expression, Xyla felt
“Things seem just fine. Husband, why are you yelling at Emily so angrily?” May Conner walked down the stairs before stopping at the final step and resting one hand on the railing while she looked at the others.Thereafter, May glanced at Xyla Quest coldly before hurrying over to Jeremy Quest and leaning against the couch’s armrest. “Are you unhappy because many people are requesting a refund for their rooms in Imperial Prime, and it’s all because Xyla didn’t fulfill her responsibilities?” May asked.However, Jeremy did not say a single word. He kept a solemn expression on his face while he stared straight ahead angrily.If a person’s gaze could kill, Emily felt as if she would die on the spot.When May saw Jeremy’s reaction, she subconsciously reassured herself that he could only be angry for the very reason she thought.However, even if Jeremy were angry, how could he vent his emotions on May’s daughter? Clearly, Xyla was the one who had messed up.“Xyla… If you knew you were not capa
At the time, Emily Quest felt somewhat disappointed that Tom Sullivan would not be able to witness Xyla Quest’s downfall.Now that Tom was here, it would be a great opportunity for him to witness all of it happening in front of Emily and her mother. By then, Emily was certain that Tom would have a bad impression of Xyla.Cheerfully, Emily opened the door and found Tom standing outside.Since it was snowing outside, there were layers of snow above his head and the shoulder caps of his dark blue woolen suit.There was a worn expression on his face which seemed telling of the exhaustion he must be feeling.“You don’t look like you have a bad stomach,” He said impatiently with a lowered tone.“I really wasn’t feeling well when I called you, but I got better after a while for some unknown reason,” Emily explained hurriedly.“Since you’re fine, I’m heading back to the office. I need to sort out a bunch of things at work,” Tom Sullivan said annoyedly before turning around and getting ready to
The video was displaying the surveillance footage of Imperial Prime’s sales gallery.In the chaotic scene which followed, a large group of people surrounded Xyla Quest while requesting refunds for their units.The three people quietly watched the video while they wondered why Jeremy Quest wanted them to see this footage.After a while, Xyla could be seen approaching a blonde girl in the video. However, nobody knew what they said to each other as there was no sound recorded in the surveillance footage.Closely thereafter, the woman was taken away by a group of security guards.When Emily Quest and May Conner saw that happening, their pupils widened while their hearts began to pound. Emily’s hands, which rested on her lap, were beginning to tremble slightly.What should Emily do? Did Xyla recognize the woman Emily had hired to cause a scene? What were they talking about? Had the woman spilled everything?Was their father angry because of this? It was over! It was over for Emily!May Conn
“Emily Quest, how could you do something like this? Don’t you think that’s too much?” Tom Sullivan asked with a frown.“There’s something even worse,” Xyla Quest glanced at Emily coldly before pouring herself another glass of fruit juice.“There’s another voice recording down there. Open it up,” Xyla said while she took a sip.Emily immediately felt panicked. What else could there be? Was there proof of her asking someone to make the whole thing up? That can’t be. Please, no!If that came out at the same time, Emily was doomed.Emily eyed Xyla up and down nervously. She did not dare to even look at Jeremy’s face while she proceeded to open the second voice recording with trembling hands.“I didn’t want to make anything up. Emily Quest kept asking me to do it. We are friends. Therefore, it was difficult for me to reject her. She said she would never let Imperial Prime perform well in its sales. She could not allow Xyla Quest to succeed so easily. Hence, she wanted to create a rumor so t
