Xyla Quest turned around calmly. “What is it?”A long time ago, this man used to be like a religion to her. Her heart would pound whenever she saw him.However, when Xyla looked at Tom’s face now, she felt nothing else but disgust and hatred.Tom quickly approached Xyla and tried to reach for her hand.However, Xyla immediately avoided his touch and took a step back. “You can talk to me, but do not touch me.” She frowned.“Xyla, I’ve given it a serious thought. I don’t care if you did all of that. I’m ready to forgive you. Even if you did it, consider it an act of revenge for how I hurt you in the past. It’s all fine. Xyla, will you please give me a second chance?” Tom Sullivan sounded very eager.Chuckle. ‘Can this man be more of a jerk?’“Have you heard of a discounted key? You’re not even worth the price.” Xyla looked at him coldly while she snapped her fingers together.Tom was not used to her cold rejection and proud attitude.“Xyla… You didn’t used to be like this.” In the past,
After that, Zack Cassidy brought the two bodyguards with him and approached Xyla Quest and Mary Sullivan.After Zack nodded at Xyla slightly, he pushed the golden-frame of his glasses slightly upward before looking at Mary Sullivan. “Miss, what is your name?”Mary frowned a little. “Mary Sullivan. What is it? If you want to flirt with me, please find a better time. I’m kind of occupied at the moment.”Zack frowned slightly in response. Upon a closer look, this woman appeared like a ghost just as his Fifth Master had said. Even though her facial features were not great, she still had a lot of make-up on. It was a horrifying sight.How could a person like her be self-obsessed enough to think that Zack was flirting with her?“Miss Mary Sullivan, I’m sorry to inform you that you have been included in our shopping mall’s blacklist. From today on, all shopping malls in the globe that belong to our Fifth Master will no longer provide you with any further service…” Zack Cassidy said coldly.He
Very soon, Jeremy Quest walked in.After making his way through the door, he pulled a chair out and sat in front of the computer.After that, Jeremy Quest sighed helplessly before softly brushing Xyla Quest’s hair. “I spoke too harshly to you yesterday. I would like to apologize.”Xyla shook her head calmly. “Dad, it’s alright. I know you were just too upset yesterday.”“To be honest, I thought about it after calming down. Even if you did those things, I think it’s reasonable…“After all, they were too mean to you.” Jeremy gritted his teeth when he recalled what those people had done.Xyla was touched by what her father said. She then leaned her head against Jeremy’s shoulder and said softly, “Dad, thank you for being on my side.”“Silly girl, I’m your father. If I weren’t on your side, whose side would I be on?” Jeremy asked.Xyla smiled like a naïve kid.“Sometimes, I think about whether I have made the mistake of remarrying after your mother passed away.“If I hadn’t remarried, you
“That’s right… Dad, look, this is the list of top achievers in our class. That’s me.” After that, Xyla Quest scrolled through the pictures of her results one at a time, showing them to Jeremy Quest.She came first on nearly every single list!Jeremy was pleasantly surprised. Although Xyla did rather well in high school, she was definitely not talented enough to get into a university like this.However, after leaving home, she had gotten into this university, she was even the best performing student.“My baby girl, you are outstanding!” Jeremy could not hide the pride in his smile.Now, all Jeremy could think about was Xyla’s excellent performance in academics. Clearly, he had forgotten all about Emily Quest being in the top fifty in her stream.The feeling of being ignored and outshone made Emily feel very miserable.Although Atlantis University was a famous university within the country, it was not worth mentioning compared to Summerland University.Emily gritted her teeth. “What’s so
“She’s stepping into her own grave in such a hurry.” Xyla Quest chuckled before replying to the email.“I’m very interested.” She wrote.Emily Quest responded almost instantly. “Really? Can you give me your contact number? Let’s discuss this over a call.”Xyla smiled before sending Georgie Clementine’s phone number to Emily.After a second, Emily’s call came in.Seeing this, Xyla immediately picked up the phone and excused herself from the room. “Hello, how are you…” She said while leaning lazily against the wall.Xyla intentionally changed her voice so that she sounded completely different.“Hello, are you Josh Batton’s manager, Georgie Clementine?”“Yes, I’m very interested in what you mentioned. However, I think that thirty million dollars is not enough…” Xyla said while twirling her hair with her fingers.“What about thirty-five million dollars?”“But most of our deals are at least forty million dollars these days,” Xyla replied.“Well… Well then, let’s make it forty million dollar
However, nobody picked up Emily Quest’s call.After several attempts, the phone had actually been turned off!Emily felt as if she was going mad.Why did Josh Batton choose ten million dollars over forty million dollars? Did he have something against money?Or did he have feelings for Xyla Quest? When Emily thought of this, she instantly became jealous, and her face darkened. However, Emily very quickly rejected that thought. Why would a man like him fall for Xyla Quest? There were plenty of other beautiful women in the entertainment industry.“What the hell is going on?!” Emily mumbled to herself with her fists clenched.Meanwhile, Josh Batton’s fans were viciously attacking Emily on Weibo. It was driving her insane!If she knew this was going to happen, she would not have shown off so proudly. When she recalled how she had insulted Xyla the night before, she felt extremely embarrassed.Ring. Ring. Ring.The phone next to her bed started ringing. Emily instantly picked it up.“Get yo
“Ughh! I’m so mad!” Emily Quest grabbed a pillow next to her and hurled it to the ground.After Xyla Quest got changed upstairs, she put on some light make-up before getting into her car and driving to X Entertainment.X Entertainment’s office was located in the most developed area in the city center of Atlantis.From the outside, the tall building appeared both fashionable and artistic.Since the walls were made fully of glass, it was nearly transparent from the inside out.With a total of sixteen floors, there were twelve floors above the ground and four floors under.All of X Entertainment’s artists and trainees had their practices and recordings done in this building.After Xyla got out of her car, she quickly entered the tall building.Dressed in a light blue professional outfit, coupled with a white T-shirt and white heels, she seemed both dainty and experienced.Using her personal elevator, Xyla rode to the president’s office directly.As soon as she sat down, Georgie Clementine
The man seemed to be illuminated by a bright light. Wherever he was, the light would follow him.While the bright light followed him, everyone else around him faded in the background.Dressed in a leisurely black shirt and long black pants, he had on a pair of casual black shoes. Moreover, his collar was slightly rolled up with three buttons open in front of his chest. He looked both lazy and sexy.Despite being surrounded by a group of beautiful women, he seemed to be completely disinterested.Like a star in the sky, he was bright and attractive but unattainable by the ordinary person.At first, Xyla thought that she would never see this man again. However, she bumped into him today yet again.Were the people around him gangsters as well?Was this a meeting among gangsters?Did people who worked in that field dress so well these days?Although Xyla thought of leaving, she felt that she did not do anything wrong to him. Why should she leave?As the thought occurred to her, Xyla immedia
