It all felt new to Annabeth Cates.“If you talk about the Cates family behind their backs again, I won’t let you off the hook,” Xyla Quest warned. Although her voice was soft, her tone was firm.“…” The two women nodded respectfully but remained silent.When Annabeth heard this, she could immediately guess why Xyla was upset.Suddenly, she felt extremely grateful on the inside.The better she got to know Xyla, the more she understood why Stanley Batton and Josh Batton were head over heels in love with her.That was because Xyla wasn’t only good-looking, but she was also an upright person.Even Annabeth herself, despite being a woman, was soon falling for Xyla, let alone the two men.Xyla was a good-looking, fit, upright, generous, intelligent, and well-educated lady from a wealthy family. Who wouldn’t like her?Xyla wasn’t an ordinary girl like Annabeth could compare to.When Xyla lifted her head, she saw Annabeth looking at her like a fangirl who was stunned in place.Seein

Regardless of how many people were around Xyla Quest, she remained elegant…Something about the calmness in her eyes made it apparent she was used to major scenes like this.After finishing what she wanted to say, Xyla handed the microphone over to Bobby Cates…Bobby grabbed the microphone and looked cautiously at the reporters. “Our family is delighted about this wedding… Annabeth is lucky to marry into the Batton family. So we’re all happy for her.”After that, Bobby frantically passed the microphone back to Stanley.“Xyla… We just found out that your ex, Tom Sullivan, had been sentenced to five years in prison for taking drugs and offering them to others. He’s currently in a rehab center in Atlantis for his treatment. However, once his treatment is done, he’ll be sent to prison. Do you have anything to say to this?” a female reporter asked Xyla…However, Xyla smiled slightly and looked at her. “I have nothing to say. Everyone needs to be responsible for their actions. Once a m

The sight was as beautiful as a painting.“Would you guys bully our daughter? I think that’s impossible… Unless the sun rises from the west…” Bobby Cates said nonchalantly.Bobby knew better than anyone how the Batton family treated his daughter.He knew their personalities very well.How could people like them bully Annabeth?It was impossible.He felt very assured of Annabeth being part of the family.“Bobby, you certainly have a lot of faith in us… You’re right. It’s impossible. We treat anyone who marries into our household as our kids… Annabeth won’t be an exception,” Sharon Lindt chirped.“I know. Wilson, Sharon, Stan, Xyla, and Catherine… Please look after Annabeth. Be patient with her if she does anything wrong,” Peggy Howards said.Xyla smiled. “Don’t worry, Aunt Peggy… We will.”“Don’t worry… Peggy,” Sharon said.“Yeah. We will take care of her,” Catherine said.After that, the adults started chatting about everything under the sun.Sharon kept sharing various fu

Xyla Quest continued to ignore it. Instead, she silently browsed through other hot topics.This morning, there were five articles of her company’s artists on the list of hot topics.Josh Batton had three, while the others belonged to other artists.The hot topics were all positive.Hence, Xyla wasn’t worried at all.She accidentally tapped on the number one hot topic and opened it…The things that came into sight were all related to reports about how Tom Sullivan died, as well as hateful comments from netizens—“This must be the best news I’ve heard all year.”“This is what that jerk deserves… God is fair.”“Is Xyla laughing out loud like me right now?”“Haha… Although this might make me look evil, I still want to say it. He deserves to die… I don’t feel sorry for him.”“Tom Sullivan certainly ruined his life one step at a time, even until his death.”People on the internet still remembered the past.Clearly, they hadn’t let go of what happened between Tom and Xyla.Right

Tony Sullivan had lost his beloved wife and son in the same year. He had completely broken down, and he couldn’t stop crying as he kneeled in front of Tom’s remains.In fact, he wasn’t even in the right state to greet the guests.Mary Sullivan held her tears back as she accepted comforting words from guests who had come to pay their respects to Tom.The people who showed up were all dignified folks in Atlantis.There were even news reporters.Tom’s coffin was in the center of the funeral hall.Countless chrysanthemums surrounded it.His black and white portrait was placed above the coffin.In the photo, he looked like his spirited self as he did in the past.His smile was wide as ever.A few female celebrities paid their respects to Tom before walking out of the funeral hall in a low-profile manner. They found a quiet corner to chat.With nobody else around, one of them couldn’t help but start laughing.“Why are you laughing? This is a serious occasion…” One of the other fe
