When Xyla Quest saw that the call was from Stanley Batton, she immediately smiled and picked it up. “What’s the matter, honey? Do you miss me?” Xyla asked.As Xyla spoke, she began to sound gentler. She was grinning from ear to ear, but her voice still sounded as soft as ever.“Where… Where are you now?” Stanley asked.His high-quality voice made her heart pound again.“I’m at Goldfield Plaza. I wanted to buy some clothes for you. What about you?” Xyla said.“I’m here too…” Stanley said.On the other end of the phone, Stanley was on the floor that sold women’s attire right beneath Xyla. He was accompanied by a group of senior and junior management staff of the shopping mall and over ten bodyguards while he inspected stores in the mall.Everyone behind Stanley seemed uptight, and none of them even dared to breathe too loudly.Stanley was wearing a tight-fitting white shirt, coupled with black pants, and both sides of his sleeves had black sleeve bands above them. He looked both

Soon, the group of people behind him followed suit and stopped in their tracks, their eyes fixed upon Xyla Quest as they greeted her in unison, “Good evening, Young Mistress.” “Good evening,” Xyla replied to them with a warm smile. Stanley Batton took the shopping bag from Xyla and stole a glance at it. He frowned slightly when he saw a piece of awful-colored cloth inside the bag. “Is this dark purple shirt for me?”Xyla nodded. “Yeah. You don’t like it?” Hearing the words ‘dark purple’, the group of people behind Stanley instantly exchanged looks of unease. Most of them knew that Stanley hated dark purple the most…Nonetheless, to everyone’s surprise, Stanley smiled at her and said, “Nah, I love it. I love dark purple the most.”What???The crowd could not believe their ears. They looked at each other in confusion, their eyes filled with doubts and shock. “Really? You should try it on later,” Xyla said. “I will.” Stanley stretched his arm and pulled her into his embrac

“I just think you look skinnier in black, and it doesn’t get dirty easily,” the woman tried to explain. “I’m taking this. Miss… Check, please,” the middle-aged man glared at the woman coldly before pointing at the white shirt he was wearing and said. Disappointed by her husband’s attitude, the woman sighed helplessly and put the black dress shirt back on the rack. Xyla Quest peered at the middle-aged couple before holding Stanley Batton’s hand and leading him to the suit section. She picked a few light-colored suits according to her preference and compared them on Stanley’s body one by one. Stanley stood beside her without making any complaints. There was a startling contrast between the man’s attitude and Stanley’s…The sales assistants could not help but exclaim in awe inwardly. Xyla looked around the store and finally chose a mauve suit. She took the suit and placed it around Stanley’s body while asking, “What about this one? Do you like it?”Stanley remained glued

The wound was oozing blood. Stanley Batton soon noticed her wound. Without hesitation, he placed his arm around her back and scooped her knees. He lifted her easily and effortlessly, just like the cool hero in the movies. The people who watched them almost died of envy when they saw the man’s unabashed reaction to his wife’s tiny wound. Stanley’s stupendous act had garnered a lot of attention. Xyla Quest’s cheeks instantly turned cherry red, embarrassed. She subconsciously threw her arms around Stanley’s neck and mumbled, “Hey, put me down… Many people are looking at us…”“So what?” Stanley kept a straight face, totally unaffected by the attentive eyes around him.He weaved through the crowd and marched into the elevator. The bodyguards followed closely behind them. As expected, the lovebirds had become the center of attention in the elevator as soon as they set foot inside it. Blush seared through Xyla’s neck when she accidentally met the strangers’ eyes. The rem

“Grandpa sent me a message this morning. He said that he’s going to stay at Mom and Dad’s place for the next two days, so he won’t be around tonight.” Xyla Quest added.“Yeah, I know. He informed me about it too. Where are we going to eat later?” Stanley changed the subject. “Hmm… I have a craving for seafood.” “Shall we go to the beach then?” Xyla nodded excitedly. Without further ado, Stanley turned to the bodyguard and ordered, “Go to Waterside Hotel.”Waterside Hotel was one of the high-end hotels in Atlantis. It was located by the sea, and that was where its name came from. The per capita consumption of the hotel was extremely high. The people who came here were mainly some moguls. In the past, she often went there with her father for business purposes. Not only was the dining environment nice and cozy, but the seafood there was also very delicious. The hotel’s head chef was the former president’s royal chef. He was an absolutely brilliant cook. He could turn any

“Xyla Quest is undoubtedly the most blessed girl on earth! I’m envious of her.”“F*ck! She’s a life winner, isn’t she? Sob… How I wish I can be like her.”Xyla Quest could not help smiling as she scrolled through the comment section. Exiting the topic, she returned to the trending list and tapped on her and Jay Corben’s hot topic. The first thing that caught her eyes was an article posted by a marketing account. Apparently, the account had managed to secure a major scoop and broke the news to the world:“Jay Corben was caught shopping alone at Goldfield Plaza in downtown Atlantis today. Coincidentally, he met Xyla Quest, who was shopping for men’s clothing in the same store too. “Jay Corben had only managed to have a few words with her before he was spotted by his fans, who swarmed over him in the very next second.“Jay Corben had no other choice but to leave the store as soon as possible. Worried about his safety, Xyla Quest immediately sent a few of her bodyguards to look a

The notification showed: “More scandals about Georgie Clementine were exposed by Suzie Cobold today!”The article was posted by Weibo’s official entertainment account. Xyla Quest immediately tapped to open the article. What came into her view was a long paragraph, followed by a screenshot of Suzie’s recent Weibo post.“Suzie Cobold had exposed more scandals about Georgie Clementine a few minutes ago. In addition to Suzie Cobold herself, she revealed that Georgie Clementine had offered backdoor deals to many X Entertainment’s artists throughout the years. “Ridiculously, X Entertainment’s big boss knew all about it, but no action was taken! On the contrary, she fully supported Georgie Clementine’s misdeeds! “Suzie Cobold had indirectly hinted that there was an ulterior relationship between X Entertainment’s big boss and Georgie Clementine.” Xyla then tapped on the screenshot. The original post uploaded by Suzie popped up at once. The content of the post was exactly the sa

Xyla Quest nodded obediently. “Alright, I will.”Stanley Batton did not speak again. He had faith in Xyla. He knew that she could handle this. At this moment, Georgie Clementine called Xyla. Xyla immediately answered the call. “Georgie, have you checked Weibo?”“Yeah. I guess the whole thing is more complicated than we think. She might be trying to take revenge on me at first, but I’m sure there’s someone else behind it this time.” Georgie sighed.“Yeah. Let’s find out who’s the mastermind behind it.” “I have people to dig him up already. Don’t worry. I’ll solve everything tomorrow morning.”“That’s great. Put your mind at ease, alright? Try not to take it too personally.” “You too.”“I know.” Hanging up the phone, Xyla put her phone aside and leaned against Stanley’s shoulder with her eyes closed. Sometimes, she really did not understand how someone could be so unscrupulous. X Entertainment had been tolerating Suzie Cobold.Since she joined the company, they had
