“Compared to you, I am a newbie. God, can you please guide me in the game more often? Please consider doing it because I am so weak. Sob.” North wrote.“Okay.” Seven responded.“God, you are the best! Oh, yeah. Are you a professional player?” North asked.“No.” Seven replied.When Stanley Batton returned, the first thing he saw was the messages Sharon Lindt sent on her phone. He immediately started frowning.Did his mother just ruin his heroic reputation? Did she claim that he was weak and helpless and asked someone to guide him? Sob? God, you are the best?Earlier, Stanley had rejected the person upfront. Now that Sharon had said these things about Stanley, how would that person think?“Mom, why did you do that?” Stanley asked unhappily.“What did I do? Can’t I just play with her?” Sharon asked.“This is my account,” Stanley answered.“But she wouldn’t accept any of my friend requests. Therefore, I will use your account whenever I want to play so that Seven can guide me,” Sharon said
After glancing at the headline about Emily Quest, Xyla Quest opened the news article related to Imperial Prime.At the top of the page, there was an official press statement from the Quest family and documents of proof from the police.In summary, the negative media related to Imperial Prime was a false rumor somebody had intentionally created. After that, they would be taking legal action against the criminal. Despite the rumors, units in Imperial Prime were sold out yesterday. It only took a total of six days.The Quest family did not announce the person who came up with the rumor. The police documents did not reveal the individual either.Xyla knew that this was something her father wanted. If word got out that something like this happened in the Quest family, they would become the laughing stock of this world.Therefore, Xyla could understand why all of this had to be done.Since her father had decided to end this episode here, Xyla would respect his decision.Many internet users w
All Xyla Quest wanted to tell this person right now was ‘good job’.Xyla began to smile widely. Right then, it seemed almost as if she were brighter than the sun.“Xyla, are you listening?” Lana Harrison asked.“Yeah, I am listening. If you can’t find out who that person is, I’m sure he must be a big shot.” Xyla quickly returned to her senses.Who was this person? He was unbelievably powerful.“That’s for certain. I wonder what Emily and her mother have done to deserve such misfortune. It must be karma,” Lana said.“Yeah,” Xyla said.“They deserve it. I feel happy just thinking about it. Alright, you are probably busy this early in the morning. Aunty shan’t bug you any longer,” Lana said.“Alright. Aunty, let’s have a chat when we are free. Thank you, Aunty,” Xyla said.“Don’t thank me, silly child. It’s what I should do anyway,” Lana said.After hanging up, Xyla turned to face the sunlight before stretching her arms out.When Jeremy Quest came to her mind, she immediately stopped smil
There wasn’t a heating system in the kitchen. On top of that, the water from the running tap was as cold as ice.Emily Quest and May Conner were not even given sponges to wash the dishes. They had to do it with their bare hands.When the oily leaves got stuck on their hands, the duo felt utterly disgusted.By now, their hands had already turned purple from the cold. Their bodies were also shivering.The frowns on their faces were so deep that they could probably kill a fly between their brows.Right now, they were more affected by the hopelessness they felt inside than the cold they felt physically.Although they were both aware of the precarious situation they were in, neither of them could come up with a solution to resolve this mess.Whenever Emily thought of the fact that she was locked in prison until the day of her wedding, she would break down in tears.When she thought of the idea of losing her father completely, she felt even more hopeless.May Conner was in a similar situatio
Right then, the financial news channel began broadcasting news about the Quest family from the living room.The words that came to the ears of Emily Quest and May Conner felt like needles pricking their eardrums.Emily immediately became enraged. She did not understand how Xyla Quest was able to do all this. Why was victory always on her side? Why did good things always surround Xyla?Xyla must be very happy right now. Emily hated her! She was jealous of her! Emily refused to give up!May was feeling the same way. In fact, she could not help but think about how Emily would live in the future with Xyla still in the spotlight. If May was kicked out of the house, she was certain that Emily would not have it easy at home.May was determined not to let something like that happen!Distracted, Emily accidentally knocked her hand against the metal faucet while washing the dishes.Her freezing fingers were in great pain.“Ouch…” Emily cried out in pain before shaking her hand, fervently.Howeve
Stanley Batton was already seated inside.Dressed in a black oversized shirt and matching black leisure pants, there was a hint of laziness to his calm and composed appearance.His usual hairstyle of segmenting his hair into two disproportionate sections was changed to a loosely brushed-back style today. It made him look very cool and pleasant to the eyes.Right then, he had his head lowered as he flipped through the black leather menu with his long and elegant fingers. He was moving neither hastily nor too slowly, which perfectly embodied elegance and nobility.The chandelier above his head projected a bright light over his fair skin, which now seemed aglow.From afar, Xyla Quest could feel how unapproachable that person was.If she had not known his identity, she would have thought he was from an aristocratic family.After brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear, Xyla quickly walked over to the seat across him and sat down.They were sitting on two opposite ends of the long di
Xyla Quest placed three of her fair, smooth fingers over her wrist before she spoke.“Cutting refers to pressing down on the vein over here…” She said.After that, Xyla focused on explaining the basic method of checking a patient’s pulse while looking down at her wrist with a focused gaze.While she spoke, she moved her three fingers around her wrist. The way she moved and spoke was solemn.Never at any point did she take her eyes off her wrist.After finishing one part of the explanation, she slowly lifted her head to find that the seat across her was now empty.Immediately, Xyla frowned slightly and turned her head around to look for Stanley.As soon as she did so, she bumped her face against a warm body.There was a vague scent of cigarettes and peppermint mixed into one. It was refreshing and unusual.However, when she noticed what was in front of her, her heart instantly tightened asher face and neck turned red.Awkward!This was the second time she had bumped into this part of hi
After making each important point, Xyla Quest would pause and ask if there was anything Stanley Batton did not understand.Stanley would always say no.Soon, midnight came without them realizing it.Xyla was nearly done with explaining the basics of checking a patient’s pulse.After looking down at her watch, Xyla turned to face Stanley.Right then, he was paying full attention to her. If she were not careful, she might even get lost in those captivating dark eyes.After a second of zoning out, Xyla recollected herself.“I have already explained the most basic stuff. Did you understand all of it?” Xyla asked.“Yeah,” Stanley answered pleasantly.“Really?” Xyla still felt suspicious.If that were true, Stanley would be a genius at Chinese medicine. He was probably one in a million.Nobody in the realm of Chinese medicine could possibly have more talent than him.“Yeah,” Stanley answered.“You… Are you sure?” Xyla seemed doubtful.“Yeah,” he said.“If that’s the case, why don’t you check
