Emily Quest instantly stopped walking and turned her head to listen to what they were saying carefully.“You seem to be getting better… But you should still be careful…” Ron Batton said seriously before letting go of Stanley Batton’s hand.“Okay,” Stanley said.“However, based on the amount you need now, that person probably won’t be able to satisfy you. In the end, you still need Xyla. I think you should talk to her about this…” Ron added.“We’ll talk about it when the time comes,” Stanley said.“Sigh… I know you aren’t willing to use her blood, but even so, you still have to in the end…” Ron said.“Let’s not talk about it now…” Stanley let out a long sigh.“I’m really happy to see you two getting along so well now. My efforts to get you two to be together weren’t a waste. You can only continue to live well with Xyla by your side…” Ron added.Stanley didn’t say anything. Instead, he silently poured himself a cup of tea and finished drinking it.Outside the door, Emily seemed
The sound of someone knocking on the door disrupted the peace in the room.Georgie Clementine immediately looked at the door. “Please come in…”Very soon, the door was opened.Her personal assistant, Zayn Wolfgang, walked up to her with a smile on his face.“What is it?” Georgie asked.“Ms. Georgie… Hurry up and turn around to look behind you…” Zayn said mysteriously.Georgie took a deep look at Katie before turning around and looking out the french window…Outside the window, there was a large row of words on the opposite building’s LED screen. “Georgie Clementine, please go out with me. I’m serious. I love you,” it wrote.“Georgie, the man who was able to propose through renting a whole screen like that, must be very rich, right? I was told that it cost 300,000 dollars for ten minutes of screen time…” Katie said while looking enviously at the screen.Georgie frowned slightly. “Such an exaggeration…” She uttered in disdain.Indeed, a womanizer knew all the tricks to get the
Georgie Clementine felt extremely embarrassed by this scene.The large screen on the building across the street was still displaying the proposal…“Henry Armstrong… I’ve already told you what I intended to say… The advertisement cost must be very expensive. Hurry up and get someone to cancel it… I hope you’ll meet someone better,” Georgie said.With that, Georgie looked coldly at the employees around her. “What are you people doing? Don’t you need to work?” She asked.As soon as she said those words, the employees guiltily looked down and ran back into the building.Georgie followed the others and returned to the building.All the pedestrians were shocked by what happened.With such a tall, rich, and handsome man proposing, any woman would probably agree according to how things normally played out…However, why were things different this time?Henry Armstrong, on the other hand, completely expected this. He didn’t feel surprised at all.However, being rejected by her in front
Below, there were Henry Armstrong images publicly confessing his love, the words displayed on the screen outside the building, and balloons being released. On top of that, there were footage of Henry leaning against his luxury car, of him confessing to Georgie Clementine, and of Georgie turning around and leaving him behind…This netizen recorded everything.There were over three million shares, likes, and comments related to this post.Meanwhile, the comment section was flooded.“Display screens like that would cost at least tens of thousands per minute. Who is this guy? Doesn’t his car look like a Rolls-Royce? In fact, I think it’s a limited-edition, one-of-a-kind car in the entire world!”“Georgie Clementine must be crazy for rejecting someone like him!”“Ahhh… Other people’s romance and suitors always make me jealous.”“That guy hair fair skin and good-looking facial features. He also looks like a nice person. Most importantly, he’s rich. Why did Georgie Clementine reject hi
Katie Wolfgang brought in a large group of people dressed in black attires, who were also carrying huge bouquets of red roses…Georgie Clementine recognized several of these people in the group as those who helped release balloons for Henry Armstrong earlier.There were thirteen people in total, and all thirteen of them carried bouquets in their hands.Katie led them directly over to Georgie…“Ms. Georgie, these are flowers from the guy earlier,” Katie said.“Katie… Didn’t I tell you? You’re not allowed to bring strangers into my office without my permission,” Georgie said.“I know… But they said they wouldn’t leave if you don’t accept these flowers. I didn’t have a choice…” Katie said.Georgie helplessly glanced at Katie before turning to look at the people dressed in black attires. “Bring these flowers back. I don’t want them… Tell Mr. Armstrong not to do something like this again…” She said.However, right after Georgie finished speaking, the people dressed in black attires
After entering, Ron Batton brought Xyla Quest over to a table that was made from a tree trunk…The table was round-shaped. There was a sculpture of a giant dragon on top of it. From a single glance, the sculpture seemed very awe-inspiring.The most shocking part was in the details.Each tiny detail was carved intricately, and there wasn’t a single imperfection to be found.Below the sculpture was a red wooden card that wrote the sculptor’s name…The sculptor’s name was Shayne Zimmer.Xyla knew who this person was. He was one of the most well-known sculptors in the world. In fact, he had won all sorts of awards in and out of the country.“What do you think, Xyla?” Ron asked.“Yeah, it looks very good. Indeed, it’s the work of a master sculptor…” Xyla said.“Do you like it?” Ron asked.“Yes, I do…” Xyla said.Ron didn’t say anything. Instead, he continued to smile as he looked at the sculpture.People around Xyla kept on looking at her face…They were all stunned by Xyla’s b
“Oh, right. Ever since Tom Sullivan married Emily Quest, he’s been so unlucky. Bad things keep happening to him. He’s way past his prime now too…”“Not long ago, I saw the wife of Sullivan Group’s president. She never once batted an eyelid when buying purses that cost several million dollars in the past. But now, she’s only browsing but not buying these purses.”“It must be because of her family’s deteriorating financial status… Haha…”The group of ladies continued their discussion.Bailey Ronson was holding Tom Sullivan by his arm when she walked nearby these women, and she happened to overhear their conversation.Both the expressions of the mother and son instantly turned cold… The things these people said made them feel extremely humiliated, especially Tom, who now wished he could kick Emily to the curb.When he looked up, he saw Xyla Quest crouching down like a child, with her hands placed on her face. She was looking at the sculpture of a rooster…Her long hair dangled pa
Emily Quest curled her fingers around his. “I heard that you came here with Mom, so I thought I could join you guys… I’m interested in the root carving exhibition too.”Emily had made a fool out of herself during her design competition with Xyla Quest. The scandal was an acute embarrassment for the Sullivan family.Emily’s ignorance drove Bailey Ronson up the wall. She had been treating Emily like an eyesore for the past few days because of that incident.However, Bailey cooled off as time went by. All the good things that Emily had done for her crossed her mind from time to time, urging her to forgive Emily. At last, she offered Emily her hand. “Let’s go then… Let’s have a look at the phoenix over there.”Without hesitation, Emily nodded and held Bailey’s hand, heading toward the phoenix sculpture with Bailey intimately. Tom Sullivan frowned impatiently and followed behind the two of them. “This phoenix is gorgeous! It looks so real!” Emily exclaimed.“Emily, do you like it
