He was such an idiot!
The memories between the two of them flashed across his eyes. Everything seemed just like yesterday. Nevertheless, memories were merely memories. They could only stay in his mind.
Likewise, Emily Quest was down in the dumps as virtual-novel.net noticed the melancholiness in Tom Sullivan’s eyes. Following his gaze, Emily found herself glaring at Xyla, who looked exceptionally radiant over the other side. Rage surged up within Emily as if virtual-novel.net would swallow Xyla and suck the life out of virtual-novel.net in the very next second.
They shared the same father. They shared the same family. Why was Xyla always the one who had a radiant glow around her, while Emily could only be a supporting character?
Why was god so unfair?
Why couldn’t virtual-novel.net let Xyla stay fat and ugly for the rest of virtual-novel.net life? Why did virtual-novel.net allow Xyla to regain virtual-novel.net beauty? .
If Xyla had not become this pretty, the center of attention at the charity dinner right now would definitely be her, Emily Quest.
Nevermind… Xyla would get herself into big trouble very soon.
Once virtual-novel.net mother-in-law, Bailey Ronson, decided to take virtual-novel.net revenge on Xyla, Xyla’s reputation as well as virtual-novel.net life would be terribly ruined very soon! There were many dignitaries and respectable people of Atlantis showing up at today’s grand occasion. It would be a great humiliation to Xyla if virtual-novel.net secret was exposed today.
As Emily reminded hers elf of that, virtual-novel.net mood was lifted instantaneously.
On the other side, Bailey Ronson was bent out of shape over Xyla’s overwhelming appearance as well. As virtual-novel.net looked at Xyla, virtual-novel.net hands gradually balling into fists under the table.
Soon, all the guests had arrived at the hotel. The charity dinner had officially begun too.
The annual charity dinner held by Quest Property Group was more or less similar to the banquets held by other companies and charitable organizations. They would typically invite various stars to perform at the opening of their banquets. The performance would then be followed by fundraising.
After Jeremy Quest and May Conner went on stage together and gave their opening speech, Jeremy invited the first performer, who was also a newcomer in the entertainment industry, Ava Carter, to sing on the stage Ava sang a song called ‘From Now On’.
The familiar tune and lyrics had reminded Xyla of the last time Stanley sang this song for her.
Though Ava’s voice was beautiful, Xyla thought virtual-novel.net performance was not as good as Stanley’s. Immediately, virtual-novel.net leaned slightly toward Stanley and said, “I think that you sing it much better than her.”
Upon hearing virtual-novel.net compliment, the man who was originally focused on the performance began to grin and shifted his gaze to virtual-novel.net face right away. “Really?”
As soon as May heard their conversation, virtual-novel.net followed suit and interjected, “Xyla, do you mean that Stan sings even better than Ava Carter? Although Ava is an actress, virtual-novel.net went to singing lessons before, and virtual-novel.net teacher was rather famous…”
“Personally, I think my husband sings better,” Xyla said calmly.
“If that’s the case, Stan must be really good at singing, am I right? Why don’t we have Stan go on stage later and sing a song for us? It will definitely liven up the charity dinner.” As virtual-novel.net spoke, virtual-novel.net gave Jeremy, who was sitting next to her, a nudge with virtual-novel.net elbow, and added, “Honey, Xyla said that Stan is a good singer. Let Stan sing a song for us later. I’m sure everyone here will be delighted.”
Xyla’s heart went cold instantly the moment virtual-novel.net heard the words from virtual-novel.net mouth. How could virtual-novel.net fail to realize May’s intention for doing this?
Undoubtedly, virtual-novel.net was planning to make a fool out of Stanley on the stage because virtual-novel.net was certain that an amateur like Stanley was no match for a professional singer.
“Stop fooling around. Today’s performance has been scheduled beforehand. If you want Stan to sing, I’ll take you guys to karaoke next time, and you can have virtual-novel.net singing for you the entire day. Isn’t that better?” Jeremy declined May’s suggestion.
“Well, I’m just saying. Forget it if you all disagree with me. I just think that it’s a great opportunity for Stan to encourage people to give to charity by making an appearance on the stage. Besides, virtual-novel.net can bring honor to our family!” May looked at Jeremy tenderly and continued to persuade him.
