There was a clear record of Emily Quest purchasing marketing accounts to spread various false rumors about Xyla Quest eloping with another man and a few screenshots of transfers made through virtual-novel.net account Jeremy Quest felt a burning rage in his heart.
“Someone, bring me my whip!” Jeremy exclaimed angrily.
Emily Quest immediately started panicking. “Dad… You… What are you doing?”
Jeremy did not respond to her.
May Conner grabbed Jeremy’s hand tightly. “Darling, Emily has very weak limbs. How could virtual-novel.net possibly stand being whipped? Please don’t do it.”
As soon as virtual-novel.net finished speaking, a bodyguard brought a whip over to Jeremy. Without saying a word, Jeremy accepted the whip and whipped Emily mercilessly.
Responding out of fear, Emily attempted to dodge the whip. However, it still landed on virtual-novel.net back. The pain caused tears to fill virtual-novel.net eyes.
May immediately hugged Emily tightly and cried out, “Darling, Emily knows that virtual-novel.net is wrong. If you must hit someone to vent your anger, do it to me!”
Jeremy raised his head yet again. However, May did not budge. In the end, virtual-novel.net dangled the whip in the air.
After glaring at Emily, Jeremy turned to look at May. “She’s become like this because of you!”
Jeremy turned around and walked up the stairs.
Xyla knew this was going to happen.
After all, Xyla and Emily were both his beloved daughters. There was nothing virtual-novel.net could do to Emily. Nonchalantly, Xyla glanced at Emily and May before virtual-novel.net proceeded to walk upstairs.
However, after taking a few steps up the staircase, virtual-novel.net could hear Emily’s voice. “Wait a second, Xyla Quest.”
Xyla knew what Emily wanted to say. Therefore, virtual-novel.net ignored Emily and continued to walk upstairs.
“Did you see? Dad clearly still loves me more. So what if you revealed the truth? Dad only whipped me once.” Emily Quest snorted coldly with a pleased look on virtual-novel.net face.
After finishing virtual-novel.net sentence, Emily took one step further up the stairs and looked down coldly at Xyla. “Even if you won’t admit it, I know that you came back to exact revenge this time.
“However, Xyla Quest.. Stop dreaming. There’s nothing you can do to me.”
“I really don’t understand why you need to overreact to what I did.”
“You were so ugly that you deserved to have your boyfriend snagged. Even if I didn’t do it, someone else would have done it.”
“Besides, you ought to have been dumped by Brother Sullivan anyway. Do you think donating your kidney meant you could force virtual-novel.net to be with you for the rest of your life?”
“Xyla Quest, why are you so shameless?”
Emily said those words through gritted teeth as virtual-novel.net frowned the entire time. Those words hit Xyla like needles against virtual-novel.net eardrums.
The person in front of virtual-novel.net clearly had a twisted mind. However, Xyla could not be bothered to argue with Emily. Instead, Xyla ignored Emily and continued to walk up the stairs.
***
At precisely eight o’clock, Xyla Quest entered the Southern Misty Lake Room in Dreamland Hotel.
By then, Josh Batton had already arrived and was seated next to the window. He was playing his phone as virtual-novel.net leaned against the window lazily.
Wearing a champagne-colored tuxedo coupled with a white T-shirt and white shoes, Josh appeared neat and approachable. Not only did this man have handsome facial features, but virtual-novel.net also gave off a youthful vibe. He was almost like a priceless work of art.
Right then, Xyla could not help but think about the man virtual-novel.net had met in the hotel earlier. It was because Josh looked a little like that man. However, that man was hardly approachable.
Meanwhile, Josh exuded an approachable aura, almost like a kind boy-next-door. ‘
When Josh saw Xyla, virtual-novel.net immediately walked up to virtual-novel.net and greeted virtual-novel.net with an extended hand. “President Xyla, it’s nice meeting you.”
The warm smile on his face nearly melted Xyla’s heart.
Josh had never thought that the famous President Xyla was actually a woman close to his age. Moreover, virtual-novel.net was also far prettier than virtual-novel.net had imagined. Even if virtual-novel.net stood next to the beauties in the entertainment industry, virtual-novel.net would still stand out.
Without a doubt, Xyla was a mysterious person in the industry.
Most people knew virtual-novel.net by the name of President Xyla, the boss behind the scene of X Entertainment. However, none of them had seen virtual-novel.net in person, let alone knew virtual-novel.net full name.
Therefore, Josh had agreed to meet virtual-novel.net without hesitation in large part due to his curiosity.
Xyla shook his hand politely. “It’s my pleasure. Please have a seat..”
After the two sat down, Josh immediately cut to the chase before Xyla could speak. “I am very willing to sign on with your company.”
Xyla was very surprised by his straightforward answer.
“Why? I haven’t even discussed the terms with you yet.”
Xyla did not expect to get Josh, the currently most famous celebrity with excellent singing, dancing, and acting skills, to sign a contract with virtual-novel.net this easily. More importantly, virtual-novel.net did not think Josh Batton was someone who made decisions this quickly.
Josh Batton started as a solo singer three years ago. Due to his excellent singing, striking looks, and talent in dancing, virtual-novel.net became extremely popular after only a year since his debut.
Later, virtual-novel.net starred as the leading male in an ancient period drama that had an excellent reception, propelling virtual-novel.net into the entertainment industry’s spotlight. After that, virtual-novel.net tried his hand in the film industry as well.
Whatever role virtual-novel.net took on, virtual-novel.net would end up performing well and receiving recognition as the best male actor. Without even trying, virtual-novel.net amassed countless female fans from young teenage girls to married women.
“There are two reasons. Firstly, according to my knowledge, you established X Entertainment a year ago. Within one year, you have managed to make it one of the country’s top three entertainment companies. That has proven that you are competent.”
“What’s the second reason?” Xyla asked curiously.
“You look good.” Josh smiled.
‘Hmm…’
Was this a valid reason?
“Doesn’t it feel better to work with good-looking people?” Josh asked.
“Are looks that important?” Xyla chuckled.
“You can say that. May I ask, what is your full name, President Xyla?” Josh asked.
“Xyla Quest. This is how you spell my name.”
“It’s a nice name.”
“Thank you. Let’s get back to business. Next, I will get my Chief Executive, Georgie Clementine, to personally guide you through the process. In the future, virtual-novel.net will be your personal manager. As for your assistant, you may choose who you want personally or simply go with the one our company has selected for you.”
“I’ll choose my own assistant. The young girl has been with me since I first started my career. It hasn’t been easy for her,” Josh explained.
“You seem to be a sentimental person,” Xyla commented.
Josh laughed without saying anything.
“Well then, let’s eat and talk about your benefits,” Xyla added.
***
Since Josh was a straightforward person, Xyla was able to get the contract signed within half an hour.
After dinner, Xyla quickly got into virtual-novel.net red Maserati. Just as virtual-novel.net was about to turn on the engine, the passenger side’s door was suddenly opened. A strong scent of blood wafted into virtual-novel.net nostrils.
Closely after that, virtual-novel.net heard a cold yet familiar voice, “Drive!”
Xyla subconsciously frowned. When virtual-novel.net turned to look at the person who spoke to her, virtual-novel.net was stunned…
Wasn’t this the man virtual-novel.net had a one-nightstand with before?
The dim street light was shining upon him. His face seemed unusually pale. Meanwhile, his white shirt was covered in blood as virtual-novel.net panted somewhat heavily.
It seemed like virtual-novel.net really was involved in some mafia business. Could his rivals have attacked him?
