Xyla Quest immediately explained to Stanley Batton how he met Christopher Lancelot and why he brought her here to race. The man remained expressionless after listening to her explanation. Xyla knew that he was jealous. She threw her arms around his neck and pouted. “Don’t be angry with me. Okay?”Stanley sighed helplessly. “Xyla, what should I do with you?” Sometimes, he really did not know what to do with her. No matter how angry he was, his heart instantly melted when she was affectionate. There were times when he compromised just by looking at her face. Xyla’s smile widened. “Hmm… If you have no idea what to do with me, keep on spoiling me like a princess then.”The corners of Stanley’s soft lips gradually curved upward into a slight smile. “Are we good now?” Xyla asked. “You’re not jealous anymore, right?” Stanley gently tapped her nose and teased, “You’re really something, Xyla.”“Shall we go home?” Xyla asked.Stanley started the car and departed right away.
Ron Batton gazed at them thoughtfully. Having no other choice, he nodded helplessly. “Okay then.”After that, Ron went upstairs, leaving the two alone in the living room. The two watched the old man until he was out of their sight. Making sure that he had gone upstairs, Stanley Batton placed his right hand behind Xyla Quest’s back, scooped her knees, and lifted her. “Let’s get some rest too. Hmm?”Xyla nodded. “Sure, but please put me down. You’re not feeling well recently, are you?”“Nah, that’s not true,” Stanley rebuked. “Your body should be frail when anemia kicks in.”“Do you think I’m weak?”“... Anyway, you should take care of yourself…” Xyla reminded him. “There is no need,” Stanley insisted.***The next day.At the Quest family’s house.Emily Quest and May Conner were observing Xyla’s house with binoculars from the rooftop. Xyla’s red Maserati and Stanley’s black Bentley Arnage were both in their line of sight. “Apparently, that blockhead went back last nig
Xyla Quest logged onto her QQ Mailbox and clicked on the anonymous email. Her fingers danced across the keyboard, trying to track its IP address. She found the IP address in the very next second. However, it was located in the middle of the sea. She knew that it was a fake IP address. Without wasting any more time on it, she kept on typing to crack the code, going the extra mile to search for the real IP address. After going through series after series of codes, Xyla finally found the email’s actual IP address. It was from a neighborhood downtown called Fishy Hollow. Block 12, room 706, opposite Fishy Hollow Internet Cafe. Xyla raised her brows satisfactorily before shutting down her laptop. She then got out of the bed and headed to the bathroom. She started retching again when she brushed her teeth, throbbing pain in her stomach following soon after. However, she did not take it seriously. She thought she was too hungry. After a quick wash, she put on some skincar
“Are you sure?” Stanley Batton’s eyes widened, consternated. Dragon Group had many top IT specialists, but none managed to find the IP address yet. How did she crack the code so easily?“Yeah. Ask Zack Cassidy to check the place out,” Xyla Quest said again. Stanley did not say another word and called Zack right away.After hanging up the phone, Stanley turned to Xyla and asked, “Is there anything that you can’t do?” “Probably nothing. Your girl is good at everything.” A calm expression was etched upon Ron Batton’s face. “You have no idea how talented she is in computer hacking. She has defeated that… what top hacker… Who is it again?” “Enough, Grandpa. Let’s not brag about that.” Xyla smiled embarrassedly. “What?” Stanley pursued. “You know who’s Kimi, right? He’s the most notable hacker today,” Ron asked. “Yes.” Of course, he knew who Kimi was. That guy was the world’s top hacker. No one could ever defeat him. He was currently working with Country M’s national cybers
It seemed like there was no way Xyla Quest’s younger sister could ever be honest.In the end, Xyla and Emily Quest would still fight with each other.“What do you plan to do now?” Stanley Batton looked at Xyla and asked.“Let’s not do anything for now…” Xyla said.Stanley didn’t ask further. “Understood. We’ll retain the evidence and gain control of Red Sea. Let’s not frighten our enemy for now…” He said into the phone.“Yes!” Zack Cassidy replied.After hanging up the phone, Stanley looked at Xyla curiously. “Tell me. What do you have in mind this time?”“It would be boring to ask her to come here and make her admit her fault. Since she wants to play, we’ll make it a big deal… Doesn’t she want to watch us get divorced? We’ll lead her on a little…” Xyla said.“I vaguely recall that May Conner will be throwing a party in the Quest family. If Emily falls for the trap and falsely believes that we are getting a divorce, she might invite me over…” Xyla trailed off.She didn’t want
May Conner seemed overjoyed. “In that case, I must invite more people over to witness Xyla’s downfall…”Emily chuckled coldly. “Of course, you should. She used to take up all the spotlight. Now, she’s going to fall off her pedestal. She deserves to be downtrodden. I want the whole world to know that Xyla Quest is done for! Hahahahaha!” Emily said.By the end of her sentence, she was laughing almost like a mad person…May couldn’t stop smiling either.“Sometimes, justice prevails for me, Emily Quest, too,” Emily said.“That’s for sure. The tides will always change. Nobody can be the winner forever. Emily, from now on, we can bully Xyla all we want without exposing ourselves,” May said.Emily gritted her teeth. “Hahaha! Of course, we can. Sooner or later, I will take everything back from Xyla! In fact, I’ll kill her with my own hands,” Emily said.After that, Emily clenched her fists tightly. “Dear mother, you know a lot of respectable people. Make sure you invite all of them over
People came together in groups of three to five, raising their glasses and making small talk. There were also others who danced along to the music in pairs. The scene was as lively as it could be.The maids changed into neat black and white dresses, and they moved through the crowd, waiting on the honored guests.May Conner, on the other hand, with a glass of alcohol in one hand and Jeremy Quest on the other, moved through the crowd, offered toasts to her guests, and greeted everyone…To May, today was a special occasion. She had especially changed into a red, festive, laced, silk gown. On top of that, she had on intricate makeup and wore diamond accessories worth more than ten million dollars. Jeremy, on the other hand, was wearing a low-key, black Armani suit.Emily Quest did not follow them to toast with their guests. Instead, she sat alone on a white swing not too far away from the band, savoring the red wine in her glass.Likewise, Emily was also dressed up well. She wore
Even proud men like them who had seen all sorts of beautiful women in the world still couldn’t remain indifferent to Xyla Quest’s beauty.She was far too dazzling and unique.There wasn’t a single imperfection about her body, including her facial features, body, and temperament. Everything about her was impeccable.A person like her was the ultimate fantasy of men.Nobody could resist her temptation.“Alright,” Jeremy Quest nodded joyfully.Jeremy felt very proud of Xyla when he saw her like this…There was a look of approval in his eyes when he looked at Xyla.Xyla smiled before slowly letting go of Jeremy’s hand. She held onto her gown and gradually walked over to the champagne tower before gently picking up a glass of golden champagne…While Xyla stood there, a large group of rich wives from Atlantis immediately surrounded her. They started making small talk and praising her.“Xyla, your looks are getting better and better now. Indeed, you are worthy of being the wife of t
