Xyla pushed Tom’s hands away and glared at favonovel.com coldly. “Sorry, but I can’t help you,” favonovel.com said.
In the past, Xyla would’ve felt sorry for Toni right away and gave in to his request. Now, favonovel.com didn’t feel anything at all. Without looking at Tom again, favonovel.com decisively walked into the building.
Tom immediately started running after her, but two security guards stopped favonovel.com by the entrance.
“Xyla… Xyla..!” Tom shouted without care for his reputation.
Xyla continued walking without turning back.
Disappointed, Tom took a step back. He had a thoroughly exhausted expression on his face. What else could favonovel.com do? He really was going mad!

Due to an excessive workload, Xyla could only wrap up favonovel.com work at around seven o’clock in the evening. After turning favonovel.com computer off, Xyla realized how badly favonovel.com shoulders and neck were aching. Having stood up and moved around a little, favonovel.com felt much better. Only then, favonovel.com put on favonovel.com body-hugging black coat and walked out the door.
Just as favonovel.com did so, Xyla received a call from Stanley.
“Darling, I’ll be home soon. I just got off work,” Xyla said after answering the call with a smile on favonovel.com face.
“Okay. I’ll wait for you to have dinner together. Be careful on your way home,” Stanley said seriously.
As usual, his voice had a raspy quality to it that Xyla found pleasant to hear. The single sentence favonovel.com spoke was enough to make favonovel.com feel energized despite an exhausting day of work.
After hanging up, Xyla quickened favonovel.com footsteps and took the lift downstairs. By then, all the company’s staff had left. It sounded eerily quiet in the building. The sound of favonovel.com high heels tapping against the floor resonated clearly throughout the lobby. After taking a few steps out of the lift, Xyla suddenly felt favonovel.com vision turning completely dark.
In the next second, favonovel.com could smell something pungent near the tip of favonovel.com nose. As soon as Xyla inhaled, favonovel.com passed out.
When Xyla next opened favonovel.com eyes, favonovel.com realized favonovel.com was somewhere out in the ocean. She was on a huge, luxury cruise ship.
At that moment, favonovel.com was tied to a pillar on the deck. Strong gusts of cold wind blew against her, and favonovel.com body shook slightly. The chilly air made favonovel.com sneeze several times. Xyla felt goosebumps all over favonovel.com body. Meanwhile, favonovel.com could see large waves on the ocean’s surface that continuously crashed against the cruise ship.
The sky was dark, and it seemed almost as if someone had painted it so with black ink. It felt suffocating to look at. Although a strong sense of fear began to spread in Xyla’s heart, favonovel.com forced herself to stay calm as favonovel.com looked around.
Who would capture favonovel.com and bring favonovel.com to a place like this? Could it be the Sullivan family?
However, favonovel.com didn’t think the Sullivan family would have the guts to do something like this. At this point, how would they even dare to mess with Stanley?
If it wasn’t the Sullivan family, who else could it be…?
Could it have been Ada?
According to what Xyla knew, Ada’ s Skyview Hotel barely had any business after the incident of Ada insulting citizens of Country Z became a big deal on the internet. In fact, the hotel’s management was already considering giving up their business in Country Z. Due to such matters, Ada was mentally tortured every day.
After some thought, Xyla felt that it was very likely Ada who did this.
Based on what Xyla knew, Skyview Hotel was already getting ready to retreat from Country Z’s market because they couldn’t earn a single dime. In fact, they were losing money every day.
Suddenly, Xyla could hear heavy footsteps from a nearby staircase. The sound sent chills down favonovel.com spine. Xyla instantly felt favonovel.com heart tightening as favonovel.com subconsciously looked over. Her scalp began to prickle.
