There were many people around Josh Batton and Stanley Batton, but all the ladies in the room had their eyes on them.Meanwhile, their gazes were focused on the girl downstairs.When Catherine Batton finally got tired of dancing, she ran upstairs and stood in between the two of them. “You guys are boring. We said we would come here to dance, but none of you went down to dance. You’re only watching me dance,” she said with a smile and narrowed eyes.Josh gently brushed her nose. There was a look of fondness under his shades. “Are you tired?”After that, Josh removed a white handkerchief from his pocket before carefully wiping sweat off her face.Catherine grabbed the handkerchief and quickly wiped her sweat off. “I’m fine… Josh, can I ask you for a favor?”“Do you even need to ask? Just tell me,” Josh answered without hesitation.After that, he smiled gently.“Hehe… Could you get me autographs from Jay Corben and Morty Wayne?” Catherine asked while she blinked her large, glimmeri

Inside, there was an intricate jade bracelet that looked like it was of the highest quality.May Conner smiled. “Thank you, Xyla… Thank you, Stan.”Right then, Tony Sullivan walked in with Mary Sullivan and Bailey Ronson…Mary was the most eye-catching of the three, wearing a little red evening gown with a high ponytail. There was a proud look in her eyes.The moment Mary saw Xyla Quest, her gaze went cold.The family made their way directly to May.The two adults from the Sullivan family began exchanging pleasantries with May and Jeremy Quest while they offered best wishes for May’s birthday.Xyla’s attention was entirely focused on the butterfly-shaped diamond pendant around Mary’s neck. She didn’t have any expression on her face.Mary, who remained silent the entire time, shifted her attention to Xyla.When Mary saw the necklace around Xyla’s neck, she immediately snorted coldly. “Xyla… Isn’t that Blue Romance around your neck?”“What’s the matter?” Xyla asked.Mary snort

Everyone felt even more shocked! They began looking at each other at once.Was the vice president’s wife personally cooking for Xyla Quest? Who would have thought that was possible?After chatting with Rebecca Robin for a while, Xyla hung up.Very soon, the crowd surrounded Xyla and began asking her about her relationship to Rebecca. She was like a celebrity all of a sudden.The people around Xyla were bombarding her with questions one after another. The voices were all mixed up such that Xyla couldn’t even quite clearly hear them.Xyla also had no idea who she should reply to first.All she could do was smile awkwardly while she listened to their unending list of questions…Meanwhile, Mary felt like a neglected child nearby, with nobody batting an eyelid at her now.Mary felt as if her attention had been stolen away by Xyla completely. Right then, she was feeling extremely annoyed.Was Xyla so capable that she could now mingle closely with influential people like Rebecca?Ma

Jeremy Quest couldn’t resist raising his thumb. “Xyla, you are truly excellent. Indeed, you live up to the expectations I have for you as my heir.”“To be honest, it’s probably because she liked the way I looked,” Xyla said. This was the only reason Xyla could think of if she had to provide an explanation.“Regardless of what the reason is, I still think you are amazing,” Jeremy complimented her yet again. He seemed very proud of Xyla.“Yeah, Xyla is amazing. But you should be careful when interacting with people like her. If you make a wrong move, you might end up dragging the entire family business down,” May said and smiled at Xyla while she pretended to be concerned.Xyla looked at May calmly while she replied to her. “Okay… Thank you for the reminder, Aunty. I know what to do. If there’s nothing else, Aunty, we’ll be heading back. I need to get ready to go over to the vice president’s residence tonight.”“Okay, okay… Oh right, Xyla. I want to buy you a new race car… Don’t you

“Honey, Emily likes race cars the most. If you’re buying one for Xyla, could you also buy one for Emily? Perhaps she might feel better if she saw the car. What do you think?” May Conner asked.“Okay…” Jeremy Quest nodded decisively.May then smiled satisfactorily before resting her head against Jeremy’s shoulder and hugging him tightly around the waist.***As soon as Emily Quest arrived by the entrance, she could see Tom Sullivan’s Bentley parked right in front.The two cherry blossom trees in front of the entrance were in full bloom. There were light pink petals all over them.When a gust of wind blew past the trees, the petals took off to the air like snowflakes. Eventually, the petals landed on the ground, and some also landed on the roof of Tom’s car.Emily tried her best to appear depressed while she quickly got into the car from the passenger side before closing the door.Tom glared at her coldly before forcefully tossing the divorce papers onto her hand. “Hurry up and s
