Stanley Batton drove his own black Bugatti Veyron and sent Xyla Quest to the Quest family’s house next door.When the two of them walked through the door, Betty Starmount was standing by the dining room as she gave instructions to the maids. “Be careful… Those are Xyla’s favorite dishes. Don’t spill anything… Those are also Xyla’s favorites… Remember to cover them up after placing them on the dining table. They won’t be nice after getting cold…”Jeremy Quest sat silently on the couch as he drank his tea and lovingly observed Betty as she prepared frantically for his daughter…Xyla found this scene somewhat harmonious…When Betty saw Xyla walking in, she immediately approached Xyla. “Xyla… Stan, you’re here… You’re just in time for breakfast… Get your hands washed, and let’s eat breakfast together…”Xyla nodded. After that, she looked at Jeremy, who was far away. “Dad, we’re here… We’ll wash our hands first.”Jeremy and Stanley nodded at each other. After that, Jeremy smiled at Xy

“It’s all going well… I’ll soon be able to inflict the worst kind of pain imaginable unto Xyla before killing her, just like you told me to…” Betty Starmount said.“Betty, don’t play tricks on me. Don’t forget what you’ve pledged to me,” the man warned coldly.When Betty heard this, she immediately nodded respectfully. “Yes, I understand…” She said with a nervous look on her face.The man sneered without saying anything. Instead, he retrieved a cylindrical glass tube from his pocket that was full of tiny, transparent beads before tossing it onto the bed. “Make sure Jeremy and Xyla’s doses aren’t cut off…”“Yes… Master, I have a question. I can’t quite understand something,” Betty said.“Speak…”“You clearly told me in the beginning that I should find a way to kill Xyla directly. Why did you change your mind after that? Why did you replace the drug with something that takes longer…? Also, why must you make Xyla suffer in the worst ways imaginable before she dies?“Isn’t it much e

“Come to me if you have time… There’s something I’d like to show you…” Yaksha said.Xyla Quest immediately ran through her schedule in her mind…Her schedule seemed to be quite full…She only had a few hours three days later that were unoccupied in the afternoon.“Is it urgent?” Xyla asked.“It isn’t urgent. You can come whenever you want…” Yaksha replied.“In that case, I’ll come over in three days in the afternoon. Does that work for you?” Xyla asked.Yaksha wouldn’t contact her if there weren’t something important.Hence, Xyla knew that this was probably a critical matter…“Deal…” Yaksha immediately hung up after that.After working until five o’clock in the afternoon, Xyla quickly walked into her private bathroom. She took a quick bath and washed her face…After that, Xyla changed into a white blouse that she kept in the office…She matched it with a long, pink tuxedo coat on the outside…Underneath the coat, she wore a pair of short, black pants. It almost seemed like

“She’s so good that I’m willing to walk through fire for her… I won’t leave even if someone offers me an annual salary of 100 million…” Alex said.Annabeth was deeply shocked by what she heard…She truly admired Xyla Quest for her abilities.Annabeth knew how difficult it was to manage big shots, especially those like Alex, who are cream of the crop…“That sounds wonderful… Alex, your fans have been begging me to ask you a question recently because they knew I was going to interview you…” Annabeth said.“What is it?” Alex asked.“They want to know if you have a girlfriend…” Annabeth said.“I don’t have a girlfriend,” Alex said.“They also want to know if there’s someone you like,” Annabeth added.Alex thought deeply for a second. After that, he slowly looked up at Annabeth with a serious expression on his face. “Hmm, yes…”Xyla was surprised to hear this…Other members of Team XS were also surprised.All of them had been together for a long time. Nobody knew Alex had feelin

Countless messages from Alex’s mother flooded his phone screen.“Hey, when are you coming home? Your father and I miss you…”“I heard that you had an interview at the television company today, didn’t you? That’s amazing…”“D*mn… Why did I read on Weibo that you like someone? Who is it? What does she do?”“Is she a commentator? A host? Or a news anchor? Does she do something else? Speak, will you…”“Is this still a one-sided crush? Say something…”“Where are you? Are you asleep? You can’t be asleep at this hour. Are you intentionally ignoring my messages?”With so many messages, Alex suddenly didn’t know which one to reply to first.After letting out a long sigh, Alex tapped on the voice recording button. “The holidays will be the same as in previous years. I’ll go home when the holidays start… Yeah, I did get interviewed… There’s also someone I like, but she doesn’t like me…”“As for other stuff, don’t ask. Alright, I’m going to sleep…” Alex said.After that, Alex locked his
