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
Suzie Cobold giggled. “Thank you, Mr. Brown. I promise that I won’t let you down. I’ll keep spreading rumors tomorrow morning. I’m going to name all of them this time… Mr. Brown. May I know why you hate X Entertainment so much? Did their big boss offend you?” “Well, X Entertainment has been going great recently, and that rubs me the wrong way. My artists are going to be jobless soon because of them! I have to do something. I have to defeat them. Otherwise, how are my artists going to survive?” the middle-aged man hissed. “That’s true. The entertainment industry is just like a tiny cake. More and more artists from X Entertainment are becoming famous overnight. In a way, they’re dominating the industry.“The larger piece of cake they took, the lesser cake left… It’s understandable why you hate them.” Suzie fanned the flames of hatred between the two companies. “Exactly. Hence, you have to do your part, Suzie,” the man urged Suzie. “Of course I will. I won’t let you down. You cam
It took Georgie Clementine less than a second to figure out why their names were on the list. She immediately tapped on the first hot topic and scrolled through it. Numerous marketing accounts had shared a post uploaded by Suzie Cobold half an hour ago. Suzie had clearly listed all the artists that had accepted her backdoor deals on the post, and these people are the ones on the trending list. Furthermore, Suzie said that she and X Entertainment’s big boss were a couple. She could do whatever she wanted in the company because her boss favored her. What was more ridiculous was that Suzie tried to smear X Entertainment’s big boss by saying that he or she was a bisexual pervert. She and the big boss often had group sex with the company’s staff. Georgie was not surprised at all. However, even if she had already expected this to happen, she was still smoldering with resentment when she saw the post. She was confident that there was somebody else behind this incident, instruc
Why would she promote such an ingrate in the first place? Georgie Clementine could not stop questioning herself. Buzz buzz buzz…Right at this moment, her phone vibrated again. Seeing that it was a call from the head of the public relations department, Annie Stallard, Georgie immediately picked it up. “Yes, Annie?” “There’s indeed someone behind Suzie Cobold. He’s the Sun-N-Shine Entertainment’s president, Dylan Brown! Besides, I found that he has been secretly buying those marketing accounts on Weibo to attack our artists in the future.”Georgie frowned at the mention of Sun-N-Shine Entertainment. Dylan came from a privileged and wealthy background. His father was a real mover and shaker, with vast connections and significant influence in the industry. Hence, he had absolutely no regard for the others, alive or dead. He would just crush anyone who he considered as an offense to his eye. This was not the first time he tried to play dirty against X Entertainment. The two
