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

Sharon Lindt immediately frowned. “I don’t take things back once I’ve given them away,” she said unhappily.“Aunty, I really can’t accept them,” Xyla Quest said helplessly.“Consider them a new year gift from me,” Sharon added.Xenia was speechless.This new year gift was far too expensive.At that moment, the sales assistants were very excited.Joyfully, they carried the clothes over to the cashier and began processing the payment.People who just entered the store were all stunned by the huge commotion.Xyla tried to shake Sharon off to stop those sales assistants again, but Sharon would not let her go.Helpless, Xyla decided to give up.Realizing that Sharon would not cave in and was determined to buy her those clothes, Xyla thought it would be impolite if she continued to refuse the offer.For now, Xyla would have to accept the clothes. Next time, she would return the kind gesture by purchasing a gift of the same value. The exchange of gifts meant they could still be goo

Sharon Lindt immediately waved at the sales assistant nearby. “Pack all the spring outfits up in your store. Apart from this windbreaker, I want everything else.”As soon as Faye White walked into the store, she overheard Sharon’s order.Faye subconsciously stopped walking and looked at Sharon’s face as she tried to guess who Sharon was.Her jealousy toward Xyla Quest intensified.Realizing that Xyla would get all the good designs again, Faye silently walked out of the store and proceeded to shop in other stores.Once again, Xyla was shocked by Sharon’s gesture. By now, she was feeling a little overwhelmed.This was the first time someone treated Xyla like that after only having met her a few times.“No, my aunty is only kidding,” Xyla said while she smiled awkwardly at the sales assistants.“Listen to me. Hurry up…” Sharon ordered.Since the others were afraid of disobeying Sharon, they immediately proceeded to pack the clothes up.“Aunty, can you please don’t stop doing thi

“Cancel the contract with Faye White.” Xyla Quest dived right into business.“Why? She is a great actress and has a lot of potential. Canceling the contract with her directly would be a shame. I’ve always believed that she could become the most popular celebrity among the generation of youths born after 1995.” Georgie sounded surprised. “How could someone as arrogant as her possibly achieve that?” Xyla asked.“What’s the matter? Did she do something bad to you?” Georgie asked.“She was arrogant when she spoke to me. It happened in a shopping mall. With a personality like hers, it won’t matter if she became popular. She’s already this full of herself before she had even become famous. I can only imagine how much worse it could get once she does become famous. What if someone digs up negative things about her? I don’t care if she ends up ruining her career, but what would happen to the money we have invested in her?” Xyla said.Xyla could actually choose to bury Faye’s talent.But

Xyla Quest sat at the coffee table and unpacked the takeaway food. However, she was in no mood to eat.She suddenly felt a little lonely in this large house.Since when did she start feeling this way?Xyla had lost her appetite and did not even feel like cooking when she was alone.In the past, Xyla was always able to cook on her own. There were lots of ingredients at home. While she bought some in preparation for the new year, her father sent the rest to her.Was it because Xyla and Stanley Batton had always been eating together recently? Was that why it had become a habit to her?Xyla was unable to figure it out, and she could not be bothered to. She picked up her chopsticks and began to eat the food she bought.After Xyla finished eating, Chanel and LV employees sent the clothes Sharon Lindt had bought for Xyla to her house. These items took up space on the coffee table, the couch, and the area around the coffee table.When Xyla looked at these items, she felt a little ann

At that moment, somebody opened the door.Subconsciously, Xyla Quest clenched her fists tight as goosebumps appeared all over her body.She began to throw punches in the direction of where the sound came from.Before her fist came into contact with anything, a large, warm hand grabbed hers.After that, Xyla was pressed against the wall. She could smell the fragrance of mint-scented soap.In the pitch-black room, Xyla could not see anything. Meanwhile, she felt the person’s body pressing against hers affectionately.Xyla began to relax when the scent of mint and cigarette wafted through her nostrils.“What were you trying to do? Huh?” A deep yet sensual voice could be heard.Xyla could feel his warm breath above her head. Her heart began to race as she felt something like an electric current travelling through her body.Subconsciously, she took a deep breath and pushed against his chest. “I thought you were a bad guy.”Xyla could feel a dampness over her fingers.It appeared

After that, Stanley Batton found a black switch. Once he flicked it upward gently, the lights came on.Xyla Quest subconsciously squinted when the strong rays of light suddenly appeared.“It’s done…” Stanley slowly turned off the torchlight on his phone and looked at her.Under the bright light, Stanley’s naked upper body became fully visible.Xyla immediately pushed his hand away and looked down while she walked over to the couch.“Get changed, and we’ll head over to my father’s house for dinner…” Xyla said.Stanley did not say anything. Instead, he silently walked up the stairs.***When Xyla and Stanley walked onto the street outside, they could see a sea of red lanterns hung all around them.Slowly, Stanley drove them into the Quest family’s villa compound.The courtyard was also brightly lit with red lanterns.Many cars were parked in front of the main building.As the doors were open, people in the courtyard could clearly hear people talking and laughing inside.On C

Stanley Quest felt extremely annoyed by the questions. Slowly, he stood up. “I’m going for a smoke outside. Enjoy your chat,” he said before nodding politely at the group of people and walking out the door.After leaning against a lamppost, he slowly lit a cigarette and took a puff at it.The warm light above his head seemed to create a layer of luminescence around him.Meanwhile, he could still hear laughter from the brightly lit living room.Now that the wind had stopped, a sky full of stars could be seen.“Cousin-in-law, do you mind sharing a cigarette?” a crisp voice asked.Stanley looked over at the girl, who was the second daughter of Emily’s uncle, whose name he had forgotten.The girl was beaming at him with bright eyes.Stanley did not answer her. Instead, he pulled a cigarette out from its box and tossed it to her. After that, he took a long puff at his cigarette before letting it out as he looked up at the stars.Stanley did not look at her again. In fact, he did no

“Five Batton, I’m impressed with what you just did there,” Xyla Quest said.“Were you?” Stanley Batton took a long puff at his cigarette before turning around and looking up at the starry sky as he blew smoke rings out of his mouth.The smoke rings came out of his mouth and quickly disappeared into the night.“Yes. How were you cruel enough to allow her fall to the ground?” Xyla asked before bursting into laughter.“Because I hated her,” he said.“Were you able to tell that she did it on purpose?” She asked.“Do you take me for a fool?” He asked blandly with the same expression on his face.“Many men aren’t able to tell the difference,” Xyla said.Stanley remained silent as he continued to smoke.“Why are you out here too?” He asked after a while.“To get you to come inside for dinner,” Xyla said.Stanley stubbed the cigarette out before swiftly tossing it into a trash can nearby.After that, he offered his bent arm to Xyla.Xyla immediately caught the hint and wrapped her

Feeling thoroughly embarrassed, Cecelia Conner was at a loss for words. “It really was an accident…” She had no choice but to act dumb.But even if she explained herself, nobody in the house would believe her.“Look at this child of yours… Her hands are all over the place. How could you touch your cousin-in-law with your leg? Aren’t you far too careless?” Emily Quest’s aunt stood up and berated her daughter to diffuse the tension in the air.Stanley Batton ignored them and grabbed a piece of pork before placing it in Xyla Quest’s bowl.Jeremy Quest looked coldly at Cecelia. “You’re having dinner at my house. You need to respect my rules. Keep your hands to yourself.”When Jeremy said these words, Cecelia felt even more embarrassed.It felt as if Stanley and Jeremy had slapped her in front of everyone.Her cheeks felt unbearably hot.“Okay… I understand, Uncle.” Cecelia nodded.Emily’s aunt rolled her eyes at Cecelia before giving her a look, indicating that she should start ea
