Chapter 759
From the rearview mirror, Sebastian Brenand could see Rachel Wood’s housing block disappearing into the distance, just like how she was…Rachel taught him how to love, and she turned his world upside down. But after that, she cruelly left him.Perhaps, Sebastian was never meant to live everyday life with his other half.Maybe he should just be the womanizer he had always been, enjoying good food and alcohol while sleeping with beauties. There wouldn’t be any mention of love.Love was a poisonous thing that could break someone’s heart. A single encounter was enough to throw one off the rails.Upstairs, Rachel watched Sebastian drive away from the window. She suddenly felt her phone vibrating.Dr. Orsen’s name appeared on the screen.Rachel took a deep breath and wiped her tears away so that she would feel calmer. “Dr. Orsen… What’s up?”“I just finished operating a surgery. After that, I noticed that you’ve already received the parcel I sent you…” Dr. Orsen said.“Yeah… The mar

Jeremy Quest patiently introduced each of them.Xyla Quest stood up and shook their hands one at a time.After that, she sat down.Jeremy then picked up the three blueprints and looked at Xyla. “Xyla… What do you think of these three blueprints Emily has drawn?”Did Emily Quest draw these?Xyla couldn’t help but laugh at the thought, but she didn’t show it. “Did you draw these?” She turned to look at Emily.Emily continued to act as if she was very depressed as she nodded. “Yeah, I did…”“Your daughter’s work is of very high quality. In fact, these blueprints look very similar to the works of the famously talented designer, Lily. President Quest, you’re lucky to have such a good daughter…” Matt complimented.“Xyla, what do you think?” Jeremy asked.“Xyla… Your sister’s designs were even complimented by the internationally renowned architectural designer, Lily,” May Conner added.“Lily?” Xyla seemed shocked.“Yeah… You know Lily, don’t you? She’s a new superstar in the world

After that, Jeremy Quest turned to look at Xyla again. “Xyla, what do you think?”He wanted to get Xyla Quest’s opinion on the matter.“I think we can give it a try… If it doesn’t work, Emily can come home. That’s all, right? Besides, she hasn’t won anyway. We can discuss it when she wins…” Xyla said.Emily smiled satisfactorily, but her smile soon disappeared, and she seemed depressed as she did before.“Let’s do as Xyla suggests…” Jeremy said.May Conner immediately smiled happily. She continued to hold Jeremy’s hand and rested her head against his shoulder while looking at Xyla.“Xyla, wouldn’t it have been great if you had studied architecture just like your sister? If you did, you could be designing blueprints with your sister now…” May said.While complimenting Emily, May didn’t forget to insult Xyla. Xyla felt amused, just witnessing that.“Honey, I think we should make this a big deal. Why don’t we invite three celebrities from the architectural field to judge them once

Which blueprint would Emily Quest steal from the ones Xyla Quest threw away?Xyla was really looking forward to finding out.“Beep, beep, beep…” Right then, Xyla’s phone started ringing.When she saw it was a WeChat video call from Stanley Batton, she immediately smiled. Xyla got up and walked over to the french window before answering the call.Very soon, Stanley’s face appeared on the phone screen.He was wearing a well-ironed white shirt. His hair was airy and volumized, and it seemed he had only just washed it.Without any wax on his hair, it seemed naturally curvy.Since this hairstyle covered his fierce-looking brows, it made Stanley appear less intimidating.“Honey, isn’t it ten o’clock at night where you are? Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Xyla asked.“Hmm. I wanted to check on you before I sleep,” Stanley said, smiling.When Xyla heard that, she immediately started laughing. “Well, you have done it now. Go to bed. I’m at my father’s place.”“Hmm… Do you miss me?” Stanl

“Take off your clothes and show me…” Stanley Batton said.Xyla Quest immediately felt her heart tighten. “Stanley, are you crazy?”“Be a good girl…” Stanley’s voice was persuasive and seductive…***After ending the video call, Xyla quickly adjusted her clothes and calmed herself down before heading downstairs.Everyone was still chatting downstairs.They were talking about how great Stanley was…“President Quest… Your son-in-law, Stanley, really is amazing. I was told that he’s a business prodigy.”“That’s what I heard too. He’s great at managing his business. Not only that, but he also looks very talented.”“Your daughter managed to marry such a good man. You’re very lucky.”“More importantly, your daughter is very talented too…”The architectural designers were still offering compliments to Jeremy Quest.Xyla was quite happy to hear all these things.Slowly, she returned to her seat and poured everyone a cup of tea yet again. She poured a cup of tea for herself last.“
Chapter 764
At night, the entire city was lit up with neon lights.After finishing up her work, Xyla slowly pushed the large pile of documents in front of her forward.Her neck started to ache badly. Carefully, she stretched her neck a little before standing up and stretching.Xyla then turned around and looked at the beautiful view of the city under the night sky.Criss-crossed layers of roads were now full of cars. The bright lights from the cars made these roads look like streams of golden river.From afar, the view was very majestic.Xyla didn’t want to leave. After looking at the view for a while, she sat down and retrieved a half-completed blueprint of an ocean theme park from her drawer. She began to draw carefully on it.At eight o’clock in the evening, Xyla began feeling a little hungry. She carefully put her blueprint back in the drawer before carrying her platinum Hermes purse and walking out of the office.When the bodyguards standing outside the door saw her, they immediately
Chapter 765
Through the door’s gap, Xyla Quest saw two people.She recognized that one of them was Christopher Lancelot.The other person was a lady who seemed to be close to Christopher’s age.The woman was kneeling on the ground with her hands raised in a surrendering motion. Her purse was open, and items like her perfume bottle and make-up were sprawled all over the ground…Christopher stood in front of her like a godly figure as he pointed a black gun at her forehead. The black and white parts of his eyes were distinct, and he had a murderous look in his eyes.Christopher was wearing a white shirt and long black pants.His skin was covered in blood. The gangster-like aura about him grew stronger.The woman was wearing a bright, red dress. She had been shot in the shoulder, and the bleeding wouldn’t stop.“Tell me… Who asked you to assassinate me?” Christopher asked coldly.“If… If I tell you, will you let me go?” the woman asked.“It depends on my mood…” Christopher said.“It’s Mich

The woman didn’t dare to refuse. She swallowed the pill right away, frowning as she did so because of the bitter taste.“Your gut has been poisoned. Without the antidote, the poison will make your gut rot away, and you’ll die in seven days. As long as you do as I say, and once Michael is dead, I’ll get someone to send you the antidote…” Christopher Lancelot said.The woman nodded furiously with a fearful look in her eyes…Without saying anything else, Christopher uncuffed the woman. “Before you go, clean this place up…”“Yes…” The woman said with a respectful nod.After that, Christopher slowly stood up and opened the door as if nothing happened. He looked over at Xyla, who stood by the entrance.Lazily, Christopher leaned against the door and watched her. He still seemed like a thug. “What a coincidence that I bumped into you here… You used to go out with a group of people… Why are you alone today? In fact, you nearly…” Xyla trailed off. Something bad nearly happened to him.“I
