After that, Jeremy Quest turned to look at Xyla again. “Xyla, what do you think?”He wanted to get Xyla Quest’s opinion on the matter.“I think we can give it a try… If it doesn’t work, Emily can come home. That’s all, right? Besides, she hasn’t won anyway. We can discuss it when she wins…” Xyla said.Emily smiled satisfactorily, but her smile soon disappeared, and she seemed depressed as she did before.“Let’s do as Xyla suggests…” Jeremy said.May Conner immediately smiled happily. She continued to hold Jeremy’s hand and rested her head against his shoulder while looking at Xyla.“Xyla, wouldn’t it have been great if you had studied architecture just like your sister? If you did, you could be designing blueprints with your sister now…” May said.While complimenting Emily, May didn’t forget to insult Xyla. Xyla felt amused, just witnessing that.“Honey, I think we should make this a big deal. Why don’t we invite three celebrities from the architectural field to judge them once
Chapter 762
Which blueprint would Emily Quest steal from the ones Xyla Quest threw away?Xyla was really looking forward to finding out.“Beep, beep, beep…” Right then, Xyla’s phone started ringing.When she saw it was a WeChat video call from Stanley Batton, she immediately smiled. Xyla got up and walked over to the french window before answering the call.Very soon, Stanley’s face appeared on the phone screen.He was wearing a well-ironed white shirt. His hair was airy and volumized, and it seemed he had only just washed it.Without any wax on his hair, it seemed naturally curvy.Since this hairstyle covered his fierce-looking brows, it made Stanley appear less intimidating.“Honey, isn’t it ten o’clock at night where you are? Why aren’t you asleep yet?” Xyla asked.“Hmm. I wanted to check on you before I sleep,” Stanley said, smiling.When Xyla heard that, she immediately started laughing. “Well, you have done it now. Go to bed. I’m at my father’s place.”“Hmm… Do you miss me?” Stanl

“Take off your clothes and show me…” Stanley Batton said.Xyla Quest immediately felt her heart tighten. “Stanley, are you crazy?”“Be a good girl…” Stanley’s voice was persuasive and seductive…***After ending the video call, Xyla quickly adjusted her clothes and calmed herself down before heading downstairs.Everyone was still chatting downstairs.They were talking about how great Stanley was…“President Quest… Your son-in-law, Stanley, really is amazing. I was told that he’s a business prodigy.”“That’s what I heard too. He’s great at managing his business. Not only that, but he also looks very talented.”“Your daughter managed to marry such a good man. You’re very lucky.”“More importantly, your daughter is very talented too…”The architectural designers were still offering compliments to Jeremy Quest.Xyla was quite happy to hear all these things.Slowly, she returned to her seat and poured everyone a cup of tea yet again. She poured a cup of tea for herself last.“

At night, the entire city was lit up with neon lights.After finishing up her work, Xyla slowly pushed the large pile of documents in front of her forward.Her neck started to ache badly. Carefully, she stretched her neck a little before standing up and stretching.Xyla then turned around and looked at the beautiful view of the city under the night sky.Criss-crossed layers of roads were now full of cars. The bright lights from the cars made these roads look like streams of golden river.From afar, the view was very majestic.Xyla didn’t want to leave. After looking at the view for a while, she sat down and retrieved a half-completed blueprint of an ocean theme park from her drawer. She began to draw carefully on it.At eight o’clock in the evening, Xyla began feeling a little hungry. She carefully put her blueprint back in the drawer before carrying her platinum Hermes purse and walking out of the office.When the bodyguards standing outside the door saw her, they immediately

Through the door’s gap, Xyla Quest saw two people.She recognized that one of them was Christopher Lancelot.The other person was a lady who seemed to be close to Christopher’s age.The woman was kneeling on the ground with her hands raised in a surrendering motion. Her purse was open, and items like her perfume bottle and make-up were sprawled all over the ground…Christopher stood in front of her like a godly figure as he pointed a black gun at her forehead. The black and white parts of his eyes were distinct, and he had a murderous look in his eyes.Christopher was wearing a white shirt and long black pants.His skin was covered in blood. The gangster-like aura about him grew stronger.The woman was wearing a bright, red dress. She had been shot in the shoulder, and the bleeding wouldn’t stop.“Tell me… Who asked you to assassinate me?” Christopher asked coldly.“If… If I tell you, will you let me go?” the woman asked.“It depends on my mood…” Christopher said.“It’s Mich

The woman didn’t dare to refuse. She swallowed the pill right away, frowning as she did so because of the bitter taste.“Your gut has been poisoned. Without the antidote, the poison will make your gut rot away, and you’ll die in seven days. As long as you do as I say, and once Michael is dead, I’ll get someone to send you the antidote…” Christopher Lancelot said.The woman nodded furiously with a fearful look in her eyes…Without saying anything else, Christopher uncuffed the woman. “Before you go, clean this place up…”“Yes…” The woman said with a respectful nod.After that, Christopher slowly stood up and opened the door as if nothing happened. He looked over at Xyla, who stood by the entrance.Lazily, Christopher leaned against the door and watched her. He still seemed like a thug. “What a coincidence that I bumped into you here… You used to go out with a group of people… Why are you alone today? In fact, you nearly…” Xyla trailed off. Something bad nearly happened to him.“I
Chapter 767
“What exactly is it?” Xyla Quest asked.“Nothing… I have to go…” Christopher Lancelot chuckled.“Tell me, what is it?” Xyla wouldn’t stop asking.Now that she was curious, not being able to get an answer made her feel terribly awful…“Don’t overthink. There’s nothing to it…” Christopher ruffled her hair before walking away.“Does Stanley have another woman out there?” Xyla asked.She didn’t think this was possible.“No…” Christopher said.“What is it then? Christopher, tell me…” Xyla said.“Nothing. It accidentally slipped out of my mouth wrongly. I have to go…” With that, Christopher turned around and left.However, Xyla’s doubts didn’t go away just because he was gone.What was Christopher trying to ask her?Xyla couldn’t understand despite how hard she thought about it. It felt as if her mind clouded with doubts.Right then, the door to the room nearby opened.Georgie Clementine walked out.When Georgie saw Xyla, she smiled. “I’ve been waiting for you all day. Why are
Chapter 768
After the car engine was turned on, Christopher Lancelot slowly closed his eyes and began to rest.“Master Lancelot… Xyla Quest is surrounded by a group of bodyguards lately. Do our people still need to protect her secretly?” Tucker asked as he glanced at Christopher, who sat in the back, through the rearview mirror.Christopher slowly opened his eyes. He was tapping his thigh gently with one finger. “Yeah…”“Okay,” Tucker said.“Has anything bad happened to Xyla recently?” Christopher asked.“No,” Tucker said.Christopher didn’t say anything else. Instead, he silently closed his eyes again.“Master Lancelot… To be honest, you don’t have to be so nice to her. She will never be yours,” Tucker said.“You’re nosy,” Christopher said.Tucker immediately shut up and didn’t dare say another word.“Oh, right… Has Xyla faced any challenge in her business?” Christopher asked.“Not really…” Tucker said.“Hmm.” Christopher became completely quiet after that.There wasn’t a single soun
