“Yeah… Xyla, Stan, your aunt is a little unwell, so I’ll be keeping her company. If there’s nothing you guys need, go on ahead and enjoy yourselves, there’s no need to mind us,” said Jeremy. “Alright, Dad, you and Aunty take care of your health,” said Xyla. After that, she turned to leave, tugging the man beside her along. Back inside the car, Xyla’s phone vibrated. Seeing that it was a call from Georgie, Xyla put on her headset to answer the call as she started the car. As she turned the car around, she asked, “What’s up, Georgie?” “President Xyla, Tom has proposed a divorce with Emily, and he was very firm on the decision,” reported Georgie. Xyla smiled. “A divorce?” “Yeah… I went to the detention center to take care of something and heard it from the people there,” Georgie added. Although it was within her expectations, she still felt great when she heard it. “Got it,” said Xyla. After that, she ended the call, stepped on the gas pedal, and the red Maserati sped

After the call, Lana sent her a WeChat message with the time and location details. She expressed that she would get someone to send Xyla the invitation card. Xyla simply replied with an ‘Okay’. Although Lana did not mention which show it was, Xyla knew. It was Chanel’s grand fashion show in Country Z. Josh and the other more popular celebrities in X Entertainment had received an invitation. Those who could attend such an event were all prestigious aristocrats and celebrities. *** Three days later. After finishing work at Quest Group, Xyla hurried home to put on exquisite makeup before walking into her dazzlingly filled closet and changing into a dress she had prepared in advance for the show. Slightly curled black hair fell naturally at her shoulders. Wearing a white sleeveless tight-fitting knee-length dress, paired with black fur and a tear-shaped diamond necklace the size of a pigeon egg around her neck, she looked noble, beautiful, and pure. She threw on a p

After their little chat, people started getting into their seats around them. She looked down at the time to realize that the show would be starting soon. When the wives of prominent figures spotted her and Lana, they all came over to say hello and asked for photos. The two women complied. *** Outside the venue. Josh Batton, who had just gotten to the scene, cooperated with his designated photographer and his staff team to take a few shots. He wore a crisp black suit paired with a white shirt and black tie. On his feet were black leather shoes while his hair was combed into a clean 3:7 hairstyle. His bangs have been blow-dried into the trendiest style. His entire look was clean and refreshing. Paired with his distinctive looks, the man attracted countless gazes at the venue. Even the photographer could not help but admire his beautiful face. He kept complimenting as he snapped away, “There are absolutely no bad angles. You look good no matter how I shoot.” At

Josh cooperated the entire time like a gentleman. After it ended, with the company of his photographer, Josh strode into the hall. With Mary in the lead, the girls quickly followed after him. Their eyes were filled with astonishment. By then, the show had begun. The whole place fell dark, leaving only the runway lit with bright, dazzling lights. A group of models was currently on stage, showcasing the clothes on their bodies professionally. The clothes on display were all women’s wear. However, even with the dim lights, Josh Batton still attracted countless gazes. Everyone could not resist looking at him with amazement in their eyes. Seeing Josh looking around, Mary immediately hurried over to him and asked ardently, “Brother, are you looking for your seat? Which number is it? I’ll help you.” “No need,” Josh replied faintly without looking at her. Instead, his eyes were locked onto Xyla Quest, who was chatting animatedly with Lana. His lips curled into a grin. “

After that, Xyla introduced Josh to Lana. The trio was chattering on like they were very well acquainted. Mary, who remained standing not too far away, was extremely jealous. In recent years, she had spent a lot of money on him, but Josh never treated her that way before. He was gentle and polite to her, but there was still a sense of detachment. But what about Xyla? They looked very friendly with each other. Having been a fan of Josh Batton for so many years, this was her first time seeing him getting so close to a woman. Even if he co-starred with someone for a film or drama, he would intentionally keep a distance and refrain from chatting this leisurely during the press. The way Josh treated Xyla was Mary’s dream of how he would treat her. Chasing after him for so long and following him everywhere, it was all so that she could get closer to him. But no matter how she tried, it failed. If she could not attain it, why should Xyla? “That’s Xyla Quest, right? Feels lik

The photo was of their side profiles. However, due to the angle, Xyla Quest’s head seemed to be leaning on Josh Batton’s shoulder in the picture. Her hair was floating, so her hair covered most of her face. Although her looks were not clear, her temperament looked divine. Josh was looking at the runway expressionlessly, seeming to be a little indifferent. In an instant, the ‘Josh Batton’s Wives’ group chat, consisting of three hundred members, immediately exploded. Josh’s Biggest Wife typed, “??? Who is this woman? Is she trying to gain popularity? Don’t touch my husband!!! Angry.jpeg” Josh’s Girlfriend commented, “Can she stay further away from my boyfriend? Where did this fool come from? Who is she? Angry.jpeg” Josh’s Fingernail texted, “This is because our Brother Josh is too popular that he gets flies everywhere he goes. But what’s wrong with that woman? Her head is almost on his shoulder!” Josh’s Cutie added, “We don’t even dare to touch the man, but she’s leaning on

When Xyla led Lana and Josh out of the venue after the crowd, the snow had started falling outside. The entire world was blanketed in white. As her legs were bare, it felt like knives were carving onto her flesh when the cold breeze blew. In an instant, there were goosebumps on her fair white legs. However, she remained unfazed as she continued forward. Snowflakes fell onto their heads like tender swan feathers, barely melting away. Josh was the first to stop. He looked at Xyla gently and smiled, asking, “Are you really not coming to supper with us?” Xyla shook her head and rubbed her hands together. “I’m really not going. I have to return to the office.” Josh added, “Do you want me to send you ladies back?” Xyla replied, “No need… We drove here.” The photographer spoke up due to the cold, “Brother Josh, it’s too cold. Let’s get back into the car.” Josh glanced at him before waving at Xyla. “I’ll be taking my leave then…” He swiftly took off his suit jacket and

Josh smiled. He casually took out his phone and started looking at today’s Weibo’s hottest search ranking. Those gloomy topics on Weibo have finally disappeared. Even that search about Emily Quest’s scandal was gone. The hottest topics now were about Chanel’s fashion show. Most of the searches were about celebrities watching the show. #Josh Batton watching the show# was number one on the list, followed by exciting headlines. Opening an article out of habit, the first image to meet his eyes were nine photos of him watching the show in three by three grid styles, posted by X Entertainment’s official Weibo account. Next, he started looking at them one by one. Xyla had been captured in each of those photos, but her brilliance was not outshined by his. Whenever his fingers swiped to the next photos, his eyes would inadvertently stop at her face for the longest time. The photographer was reluctant to give up after not receiving a response. He asked again, “Come on, Brother Jo
