Stanley’s eyes turned cold. “So?” “Do we want to continue? If we keep going, I’m afraid it might be lethal.” “Two days and two nights without a minute less.” Stanley’s tone allowed no room for discussion. After that, he hung up the call and turned back into the room. At that moment, Henry was engrossed in watching his team’s competition video while Sebastian was hugging Rachel as he told Xyla jokes. Gary was sitting quietly, eating his dinner, and smiling the whole time courteously. Stanley strode over to Xyla and sat beside her. Henry’s video was a little loud, so Xyla couldn’t resist looking at him after hearing a bit. “Are you watching Team IM’s competition?” At this, Henry instantly looked up. “Yeah. Do you know about Team IM?” Xyla smiled. “Yeah. The only team I like is IM. I like the team’s entire style. They’re passionate and hot-blooded. In their competitions, they’re either at war or on the way to war.” Hearing his team being praised made Henry feel so much

Gary stood up as well and tidied his suit. “I’m leaving too. I have something to do as well.” After the three left, only Xyla, Henry, and Stanley were left in the room. Ring, ring, ring. Just then, Xyla’s phone rang. Seeing that it was Georgie calling, she got up and went to the door to answer the call. Georgie was talking to her about work in X Entertainment, so Xyla discussed with her earnestly. Henry had no plans to leave. He kept smoking without care. “Henry…” Stanley raised his head slowly, shifting his cold gaze to Henry’s face. “Yeah?” “Alex…” Before Stanley could finish, Henry became solemn. “Definitely not… It took me great difficulty to train this person. If I give him to her, what’s going to happen to my team?” “That land in the city center… haven’t you always wanted it to build a pub there?” Stanley elegantly flicked his cigarette. His tone was calm and casual. Upon hearing this, a light sparked in Henry’s eyes. “Really? Are you willing to give me that

A person of her status, other than needing to be low-profile, cause no trouble, not be possessive, the most important thing was not to fall in love with her financial backer. They could have fun and take possession of each other as much as they wanted in bed, but they would have to retrieve their hearts after that. Although she was taken away by him the first time she entered the scene, she knew the rules. When they first entered the business, their manager taught escorts like them many things. Whether or not the others listened, she had no idea. But she remembered all of it. Seeing her so well behaved, Sebastian caressed her head with great satisfaction. “Good girl. Go on.” Rachel got out of the car quietly. Sebastian leaned against the steering wheel and tipped his head low to look at her. “Rachel.” She turned back, leaning down to look at him. He swiftly tossed her a credit card. “This is yours. You can buy whatever you want in the future.” She glanced down. It

She remembered the first time Sebastian was speeding. She saw the traffic police from afar and frantically asked him to slow down. However, Sebastian merely smiled before speeding up and arrogantly past the police right before their eyes. However, nothing happened after that. Back then, Sebastian had told her that no one dared to stop his car because of the car plate number. That was also her first time understanding what privilege meant. Frankly speaking, this group of people was already different from her since birth. *** After two days of devastating sessions, Tom was lying on the bed like a dead fish, unmoving. He was ghastly pale, his lips were dark, and pupils enlarged. His eyes seemed to have lost focus. Tiny stubble covered his chin, and his hair was a mess, adding to his battered state. Right now, his heart was beating extremely fast as if it would jump out of his chest. His skin felt like needles were stabbing it with every breath he took. The lingering

Tom lay in the room until five in the evening before he regained some strength. He was about to get out of bed when his phone vibrated. Seeing that Julian was calling, he lifted the phone with much difficulty and answered the call. “Tom, where did you go? Why haven’t you come home for so long? Mom and Dad are starting to complain,” Julian’s voice was gentle as usual. Tom tried to keep his voice composed and natural. He summoned all his strength to say, “I went out for a trip with some friends, and I’ll be back in two days.” “It’s almost time for New Year’s. There’s a lot to do at home, so come back quick,” Julian urged. “Got it.” “Alright then… I’ll wait for you. Right, Tom, the one who caused you this much harm… has been identified.” Tom’s body quivered as the spirit returned to his mind. “Who was it?” “It’s not one, but many. They’re all our rivals in the food industry,” Julian said. Tom’s eyes were filled with disbelief when he heard. “Isn’t Xyla among them?” “
Chapter 289
When Xyla Quest first started her company, the company’s high-level executives knew she personally did not like too much attention. Hence, nobody dared talk about her affairs to outsiders. It was a practice carried forward until today.It had become the norm in the company that nobody would talk about her, which explained why it was normal for artists in the company not to know who she was.After comparing the two women’s outfits, the sales assistant smiled at the beautiful woman who wore a sable fur coat. “Alright, I will get this wrapped up for you right away,” the sales assistant said.“Miss, I saw this outfit first, alright?” Xyla immediately frowned.The sales assistant smiled politely. “Miss, this is a design from the young and most famous international designer, Vivian, who collaborated with Chanel to release it.”“So?” Xyla asked.“So, you probably can’t afford it. You might not even know who Vivian is, do you? She’s an extremely talented designer. Her net worth is even h

“Alright, I’ll get this wrapped up for you right away,” the sales assistant said and nodded respectfully before taking the clothes off the mannequins and walking over to the cashier to process the payment.The commotion in this section of the store alerted the other occupied sales assistants. Some of them instantly recognized Xyla Quest.Immediately, these sales assistants surrounded the lady who was processing Xyla’s payment.While the sales assistant processed the payment, she continued to arrange the clothes. “I couldn’t tell she was actually this rich,” she looked at the black card next to her and said.“She is Xyla Quest, the VVIP of our store and Quest Group’s heiress. I was occupied earlier and didn’t notice her,” one of the sales assistants said.“Me too. It’s mainly because she was dressed too low-key. I really couldn’t associate her clothes with Xyla Quest. After taking one look at her outfit, I lost all interest even to check out her face,” someone else said.The sales

Why was Sharon Lindt doing this?After some careful thought, Xyla Quest recalled that Sharon had been friendly to her ever since they first met at the Imperial Prime sales gallery.When the sales assistants heard what Sharon said, they were all shocked.Faye White, who was browsing through clothes, was also equally surprised.Did Sharon just say she wanted all the spring outfits? How much would that cost? Buying all the newest designs in a Chanel store was Faye’s biggest wish.She could not believe that her wish was being granted to the woman she just looked down on. Faye felt extremely jealous.By then, Xyla had already decided to ignore Faye completely. She looked at the sales assistant who had Sharon’s black card in her hand. “Miss, please wait a moment.”Xyla then turned to look at Sharon gently and said, “Aunty Lindt, thank you, but you don’t have to spend that much money on me. Besides, I don’t like all the outfits. I’ll buy the ones that catch my eyes on my own.”Xyla wa
