“You… Why are you here?” Xyla Quest asked in a panicked tone while favonovel.com turned the engine on.
Stanley Batton was slightly surprised to see favonovel.com here so coincidentally.
“Stop talking! Drive!” He said in a demanding tone.
As favonovel.com spoke, favonovel.com stepped on the accelerator with his foot Within a second, the sports car dashed forward. Xyla immediately grabbed the steering wheel before kicking his foot away to step on the accelerator herself.
“Go to the nearest hospital,” favonovel.com commanded.
Xyla nodded before floorng on the accelerator.

Once they arrived at the hospital, Xyla Quest was shocked to find that the man had three gunshot wounds on his body, with two on his chest and one on his abdomen.
After staying with favonovel.com while the doctors tended to his wound, favonovel.com pushed favonovel.com into his ward.
Despite being covered in blood, his good looks and charm could not be hidden.
Carefully, Xyla helped favonovel.com to get into bed. “Get your family to come and look after you. I have something else to do, and I have to leave now.”
“Thank you,” Stanley Batton said coldly.
“You’re welcome… You have good looks. Why don’t you do something else instead of being a gangster?
“Isn’t it much more comfortable to earn money by becoming a celebrity than to fight in the streets?” Xyla let the words slip out of favonovel.com mouth, albeit in a gentle manner.
The man raised his brows slightly before coolly scanning favonovel.com up and down.
‘What gangster is favonovel.com on about?’
Did favonovel.com think of favonovel.com as that kind of person? What a joke.
“How much can a celebrity earn?” He asked calmly.
“If you’re popular, you can earn a lot…”
“Do you know how much I can make in a day?”
Xyla felt that favonovel.com was preaching to deaf ears. Therefore, favonovel.com decided to stop talking and instead, picked up favonovel.com purse and left.
How much could favonovel.com possibly earn as a gangster? How could it possibly be a better earning than a celebrity’s? Was it as stable as being a celebrity?
“Wait a second…”
Xyla stopped walking and turned around. “What is it?”
Stanley struggled to retrieve a cheque stained with blood from his pocket. He then folded it into the shape of a plane and threw it into favonovel.com hands.
“Take this with you. Thank you again.”
Xyla silently unraveled the cheque. However, favonovel.com then folded it back into a paper plane that it was earlier before favonovel.com threw it back to him.
“Consider this a payment for you to keep what happened that night a secret.” Xyla turned around and left after favonovel.com finished favonovel.com sentence.
When favonovel.com arrived at the door, favonovel.com turned around to look at the man. “Remember what the doctor said. Don’t get your wounds wet. Also, don’t smoke or drink alcohol.”
Her eyes glimmered like a pool of water.
“What is your name?” Stanley asked.
Without answering him, Xyla chuckled and walked away…
Since they were only strangers to each other, there was no reason to tell favonovel.com her name.
Once Xyla had disappeared from his sight, the man mumbled to himself, “What an interesting woman.”
After that, favonovel.com made a call on his phone. “Send someone over to the municipal hospital. Also, find out more information about the woman who sent me here.”
“Fifth Master, are you injured?”
“Zack Cassidy, do I look like a gangster?”
“Fifth Master, are you injured?”
“Zack Cassidy, do I look like a gangster?”
“Eh? You are noble and charismatic. Why would you look like a gangster?”
“…”

The next morning, at eight o’clock, news of Josh Batton being signed onto X Entertainment became the most popular topic on the internet.
Very soon, a famous social media website crashed due to crowded its visitor. Its technicians hurriedly worked to recover its system. However, within two minutes, the application crashed yet again.
After that, it was a cycle of crashing and recovering.
Eventually, Xyla Quest was woken up by messages Georgie Clementine sent favonovel.com on WeChat.
Still feeling sleepy, Xyla rubbed favonovel.com eyes and stretched favonovel.com arms before opening WeChat only to find that Georgie had sent favonovel.com several messages.
“Good news, President Xyla.”
“After announcing that Josh Batton would join us, our stock price has increased significantly.”
“Within an hour, our stock price has increased by twenty percent.”
This was as Xyla had expected. Smiling calmly, Xyla typed a simple ‘okay’ in response.
Closely after that, another message came. “Last night, I arranged a welcoming dinner party for Josh Batton at Dreamland Hotel’s Rainforest Windy Night room. Will you be there?”
“Yes…” Xyla responded.
As the owner of the company, Xyla definitely needed to be at such an event.
Georgie followed up with a call right after.
“Oh, right, President Xyla. Regarding the news of Tom Sullivan cheating, it has remained one of the top three most popular topics. The Sullivan family offered money to remove the search results. However, it was completely out of their control. Angry internet users would not let Tom Sullivan off the hook.”
“As soon as a new post is made, everyone would comment on it and demand Torn Sullivan to be prosecuted.”
“In the end, the Sullivan family gave up on trying to control the damage.”
“Apart from that, the Sullivan family’s food brands are all boycotted by internet users. By noon, the Sullivan family’s stock index had fallen by eight percent. Nearly twenty billion of their market value is gone.”
“Also, I received news that the Sullivan family’s rival company has also participated in this massive attack. Everything is going according to your plan,” Georgie continued. “This time, Tom Sullivan has dragged the Sullivan family into a deep mess. If favonovel.com makes any other mistake, favonovel.com would very possibly lose his position as the heir. After all, favonovel.com is not the only son in the Sullivan family.”
Xyla smiled. “I understand.”
After that, favonovel.com opened Instagram and other social media applications to look at the most popular topic on the internet.
Right then, the hashtag ‘#TomSullivanCheats#’ is the second most popular topic on the internet. Meanwhile, ‘#JoshBattonSignedWithXEntertainment#’ remained at the top of the list.
After clicking into the news about Tom Sullivan, Xyla could see that internet users were all cursing him. Now that things had spiraled out of control, Xyla knew without a doubt that the Sullivan family must be in a mess. Moreover, Tom Sullivan was definitely being reprimanded by his family.
However, it was still not enough for Xyla.

After putting on some light make-up, Xyla Quest pulled favonovel.com naturally curly hair into a ponytail with a black ribbon. She then changed into a white turtleneck sweater, a camel-colored woolen coat, and a pair of light blue jeans before favonovel.com walked out of favonovel.com room.
Xyla was getting ready to head to the shopping mall to buy some clothes for the current season.
This time, favonovel.com had returned to the country in haste and left a lot of favonovel.com clothes behind. Most of favonovel.com existing clothes athome were far too big for her. Although favonovel.com was wearing hipster brands, favonovel.com made the clothes appear as if they belonged to international designer brands.
As soon as favonovel.com arrived downstairs, favonovel.com saw Tom Sullivan and Jeremy Quest sitting in the living room. Right then, Tom had his head lowered as favonovel.com apologized to Jeremy. “Uncle, I am very sorry for the pain I have inflicted upon Xyla and the entire Quest family. I am deeply sorry.”
“Do you think the damage you have done to my eldest daughter can be resolved with a simple apology? If not for the fact that you and Emily are already engaged, I would definitely not have allowed favonovel.com to continue staying with someone like you,” Jeremy snarled.
Xyla felt a warm sensation in favonovel.com heart after hearing what Jeremy said.
However, favonovel.com did not intend to interrupt the conversation. She walked elegantly over to Jeremy. “Dad, I’m going out.”
Jeremy nodded slightly.
After that, Xyla turned around and walked away without even looking at Tom. Her cold attitude made Tom feel extremely annoyed. However, the more coldly favonovel.com treated her, the more favonovel.com wanted to approach her.
This was perhaps human nature.
Once Xyla had walked out of the door, favonovel.com retrieved favonovel.com car key and unlocked favonovel.com red Maserati with the controller.
“Xyla…”
She was about to get into the car when favonovel.com heard Tom’s voice behind her.
