The fact that Xyla Quest was his sister-in-law was something Josh Batton had always known and taken to heart.
He had also been trying to restrain his feelings.
However, often, he couldn't refrain from wanting to take a few more glances at her.
Today, for example, he had a lot of work. If left unfinished, he would have to stay up all night.
Yet, he knew Xyla was going to play in the match. He still lost self-control, abandoned his work, and came over to watch her play.
That was because he wanted to look at her from afar. Just by watching her from a distance, he was satisfied.
He didn't want Xyla to know what was on his mind right now because then she would feel a psychological sense of burden.
Hence, he could only tell Xyla that the main reason he came here was because of Alex...
After inhaling deeply and slowly exhaling, Josh once again accelerated the car.
When he used to film for TV shows, he could never understand the male counterparts falling head over heels in love with the female lead.
In the past, he even secretly dissed the scriptwriters. He felt that the plot was too fake.
However, when it happened to him, he finally understood that feelings were the most uncontrollable thing in the world.
Sometimes, it was easy to fall in love, but it was tough to fall out of love.
Josh thought that he perhaps would never be able to forget Xyla in this lifetime.
Now, he was becoming less and less interested in other women.
Perhaps, it was because he had seen the most beautiful person in the world. Ever since then, everyone else just seemed average...
He didn't want to be like this, but he couldn't help himself.

After Xyla returned to her car, she saw everyone celebrating their victory by sending money in Team XS's WeChat group.
When she saw this, she instantly tapped on the group chat.
At this moment, there were monetary gifts everywhere, and everyone was trying to grab them.
The entire team's atmosphere seemed to have recovered to how it was before, relaxed and joyful.
Right then, Alex also sent a monetary gift.
Xyla didn't fight for it. Instead, she directly sent two hundred monetary gifts into the group...
After sending over a dozen in a row, a notification informed her there were too many monetary gifts being sent, and she couldn't send any more. Only then did Xyla stop.
That was because her monetary gifts had stirred things up in the group. Countless people were sending 'thank you, boss' emojis in the group... Xyla instantly replied with an emoji of a girl laughing loudly.
She didn't say anything else, and she directly exited from the group before opening Weibo.
Right then, the list of hot topics on Weibo was filled with joy.
Hot topic number one, '#Xyla Quest maneuvers# Explosive.'
Hot topic number five, '#Team XS beats Team K5# Explosive.'
Hot topic number eight, '#Team XS won# Hot.'
Hot topic number nine, '#Sorry, Alex# Hot.'
Hot topic number ten, '#Alex thanks Xyla Quest# Hot.'
After browsing around, Xyla quickly tapped on the post '#Sorry, Alex#' and checked it out.
It was filled with highlights of Alex's fantastic performance during the match tonight, as well as all sorts of compliments from netizens-
"I noticed that Team XS loves embarrassing the commentators. Early on, the commentators said that Xyla and Alex wouldn't have made the cut. In the end, they showed those commentators what they were made of. Hahaha."
"Wu-wu-wu. I'm so excited. The king has returned! It's all thanks to Xyla. She really is a little fairy!"
"A woman who could make a big boss like Stanley Batton love her deeply is indeed different. Alex's fans will all thank Xyla for her great generosity."
"This is the real Alex. It's really all thanks to Xyla. @Xyla Quest."
"I'm so jealous. All the guys I like work for Xyla Quest. Hmph. I'm truly envious."
"Shouldn't you be most jealous of the fact that she has managed to tame Stanley Batton and make him do whatever she wants?"
Chapter 1113
Chapter 1113
When Xyla Quest looked at the comments, she couldn't help but smile prettily.
Among the great number of comments, the one that claimed she could make Stanley Batton do whatever she wanted had the most likes and replies. The number of likes exceeded three thousand while the number of replies exceeded a thousand.
This comment was also the most eye-catching one.
Out of curiosity, Xyla tapped on it and took a look at the comment section...
There was a debate about whether she had Stanley under her control.
People were even arguing over it.
She briefly read through and found out that the cause of the argument was a jealous netizen who repeatedly claimed it was all an act between her and Stanley.
Then, many people began to criticize this person...
In fact, some even shared all sorts of lovey-dovey details between Xyla and Stanley.
Xyla didn't expect a list of hot topics related to Esports would move in such an odd direction.
Helplessly, Xyla shook her head. She directly exited from the topic and planned to leave the parking lot first.
Right then, her phone started to ring.
There was a WeChat notification. "Darren requests to add you as a friend..."
Xyla immediately tapped on it to check it out.
There was a remark from that person. "I am the captain of Blue Sky Exploration Team, Darren Green."
Seeing this, Xyla instantly tapped on the button to accept the request.
Since she needed to drive, she couldn't discuss a lot of things with him right away. Xyla quickly sent him a voice message.
She greeted him first before telling him about her current situation...
After saying what she needed to, she put her phone in her purse and drove home.
Xyla had heard of Darren, the captain of Blue Sky Exploration Team.
This person once led the Blue Sky Exploration Team and helped Country Z discover five or six huge oil fields and seven or eight massive gold mines. With solid expertise and superb abilities, his contributions to the country were enormous.
Xyla felt genuinely grateful that Stanley Batton could introduce this person to her.
***
When Xyla arrived home, Stanley was sitting on the sofa, reading a financial magazine.
He looked fresh out of the shower. His hair that had not been completely blow-dried was slightly damp.
Stanley was wearing a silver-gray, silk loungewear with white borders. His delicate, fair skin seemed unusually clear with contrast against the silver-gray color of his outfit.
Even without having any particular hairstyle done, he still looked captivating.
Despite not doing anything and just sitting silently there, Stanley made Xyla's heart pound.
When the man saw her returning, the cold expression on his face instantly disappeared.
A gentle expression replaced it...
"Come over here..." Stanley waved at Xyla as if he was summoning his most beloved cat.
Xyla instantly walked up to him.
Just as she arrived in front of him, he extended an arm and pulled her onto his lap.
Xyla subconsciously wrapped her arms around his neck and sat elegantly on one side. "Have you eaten?" she asked.
"I was waiting for you..." Stanley said.
"Why didn't you eat first? Didn't I tell you to eat first?" Xyla asked.
"I wanted to wait for you," Stanley said.
"Fine..." Xyla said.
Stanley carefully held her in his arms. "I'm sorry. I got too busy today. I really couldn't step away... I didn't manage to make it to the arena," he said.
However, Xyla shook her head calmly. "I understand... Alright, shall we go and eat?"
"Hmm... Wait for me. I'll heat the food for you." With that, Stanley stood up once again and entered the kitchen.
Right then, Xyla's phone began ringing nonstop.
Chapter 1114
Chapter 1114
Xyla Quest instantly shifted her attention to her phone.
The screen showed that Darren Green had sent her ten messages.
She directly tapped into the text messages, and paragraphs of texts appeared before her.
Darren explained in detail some of the places where jade mines and gold mines were most abundant in Country Z and several areas he wanted to explore first, including Blue Mountain City, Ordos, and Grimville City.
Finally, he talked about the salary package of their exploration team.
Their entire exploration team consisted of a total of twenty people.
He asked for thirty thousand dollars for himself, while the others received twenty thousand dollars a month.
After reading the messages, Xyla then responded. "No problem. If you can find good mines, you'll receive additional bonus rewards. In the time to come, you can use your professional knowledge to look for mines... Just identify the location of the mines' origins. Nothing else is required of you."
Now, Xyla had a pair of eyes with penetrating vision. As long as she knew where the origins of the mines were, she could stand close to it and activate her penetrating vision. That would allow her to clearly see the width, length, and quality of the ores in the ground...
Darren replied with a voice message. "You only need us to locate the origins of the mines and nothing else? Don't you need us to provide a rough estimate of the mines' width, length, and the quality of the ores in the mines?"
"Yeah... Just use your expertise to locate the origins of the ore mines... Head over to Blue Mountain City first. Based on what I know, many large-scale jade and gold mines in Country Z are all there. That's the location with the richest resources of jade and gold in the country," Xyla said.
"Alright then, we'll do as you say..." Darren said.
"Thank you," Xyla said.
"Don't worry about it. It's our job..." Darren said.
"Alright. Send the details of your exploration team members to me... I'll give you an advance payment of one month's salary. After that, this day will be the day of payment in each month," Xyla said. "Alright," Darren said.
After that, Xyla directly exited WeChat. She picked up her laptop and started to go through work emails from X Entertainment.
Approximately half an hour later, Stanley walked up to her.
He didn't say anything. Instead, he naturally put her laptop aside and carried her in his arms.
His sudden embrace made Xyla's heart throb wildly.
She carefully wrapped her hands around his neck. "Have you heated the food?" she asked with a smile.
"Yes, honey..." Stanley said.
"Alright... Let's eat then... Oh, right. I haven't washed my hands. Let's get them washed first," Xyla said. "Okay..." Stanley said.
After carrying her to get her hands washed, Stanley carried her into the dining room.
There was a table full of dishes. Xyla counted a total of ten dishes, and all of them were her favorites.
The dishes were large prawns with tomato sauce, braised sea cucumber, steamed sea bass, stir-fried fish and eggplants, spicy diced chicken, abalone in scallion oil, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, spicy fragrant crabs, stir-fried cabbages, and ginseng black chicken soup.
Xyla was still clinging onto Stanley's body right then.
Xyla was shocked to see the table full of dishes. "Why did you cook so much?"
Each dish looked and smelled appetizing. Suddenly, Xyla felt her stomach rumbling.
"I left work early today..." Stanley said softly.
"Thank you, honey... For all that trouble," Xyla said.
"If you know I went through a lot of trouble, you'll have to reward me later, alright?" Stanley's gaze gradually turned affectionate.

Chapter 1115
Xyla Quest instantly blushed. "You're so annoying... Are we going to eat or not?"
"Yes. You should eat more," Stanley Batton said.
Xyla's face instantly turned completely red to her neck. Even her heart began to beat out of control. Then, Stanley carefully placed her on her seat. He then placed the dining utensils on her rice bowl.
As soon as they sat down, Stanley started peeling prawns for her.
He seemed to do it so skillfully with a look of seriousness on his face.
Come to think of it, Xyla hadn't peeled prawns ever since she and Stanley got together.
Whenever she ate prawns, Stanley would be the one who peeled them for her.
She was like the apple of his eye. He pampered her all the time.
***
Beep, beep, beep-
The next day at noon, Xyla was woken up by the ringing of her phone...
When she heard the sound, she only opened her eyes slightly. After that, she immediately closed her eyes...
After a while, she gently reached for her phone above her bedhead and proceeded to answer it with her eyes closed.
She could hear Sebastian Brenand's voice. "Xyla, are you busy?"
Sebastian's voice sounded a little lazy...
"No... What's up?" Xyla asked.
"Do you have time to come to my office?" He asked.
"What is it? Is there a profitable deal you want to get me involved in?" Xyla asked with interest.
"Didn't you promise me that you'd act as Pink Misty in Green Clouds Above? Come to my office today. I'll get someone to style you up for a photoshoot with full makeup on..." Sebastian said. Xyla really didn't want to move...
However, because this was business, she sat up with much difficulty as she rubbed her sore waist. "Fine... Can you give me two hours?"
Sebastian instantly chuckled. "Don't mention two hours. Even if you need twenty hours, I'll wait..." He said.
Xyla couldn't resist laughing. "Deal. Wait for me then. I'll be there within two hours."
After that, Xyla slowly got out of bed and forced her sore body into the bathroom to clean up.
During times like this, she'd feel a great resentment toward Stanley...
Since she needed to be styled, she didn't put anything on her face after washing it.
She simply pulled her hair back into a high ponytail. After that, she walked into her huge closet and changed into a long halter dress. After that, she lazily walked out of the door with a group of bodyguards. Even if she didn't have any makeup on, she was still beautiful.
An hour later, she arrived at King Entertainment.
After finding a random parking space, she parked her car and led a group of bodyguards into King Entertainment's building.
As soon as she walked through the door, Sebastian's assistant, Jean Hanson, walked up to her respectfully. "Hello, Ms. Quest. I am Mr. Brenand's assistant, Jean Hanson. Mr. Brenand asked me to fetch you..."
"Nice to meet you..." Xyla nodded at Jean. After that, she followed him into a studio on the first floor of King Entertainment.
As soon as she entered the studio, she was surprised by what greeted her...
Chapter 1116
Chapter 1116
Right then, Sebastian Brenand held a glass of milk in his hand. He carefully kneeled halfway in front of Rachel Wood and tried to persuade her as if she were a child. "Honey, never mind that you skipped lunch
but could you at least drink a little milk?"
There were a lot of employees who were busy working around them.
However, Sebastian behaved as if there was nobody else around.
When the employees around Sebastian and Rachel saw this happening, they looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Xyla Quest was equally shocked by what she saw.
Although she knew that Sebastian treated Rachel very well these days, she didn't think he'd already come to this stage.
Meanwhile, Rachel shook her head again. "I really don't want to... I haven't got an appetite tonight. Stop forcing me," she said.
After that, she looked around at the people in an embarrassed manner. She directly grabbed Sebastian's hand. "Stop doing this... It's really embarrassing."
As soon as Rachel finished speaking, she caught sight of Xyla arriving from the corner of her eyes.
Rachel immediately stood up and looked at Xyla with a smile.
Xyla smiled back at her.
When Sebastian saw this, he also slowly stood up. He looked at Xyla, one hand wrapped lazily around Rachel and the other holding a glass of warm milk. "Hello, Xyla..."
"Hello..." Xyla smiled warmly. Escorted by her bodyguards, Xyla walked over to the two of them.
"Sorry you had to see that," Rachel looked carefully at Xyla and said. After that, Rachel blushed.
"What's there to be sorry about. You love each other. This is a very normal way of showing it," Xyla said with a chuckle.
Rachel blushed again...
Sebastian looked lazily at the two female stylists standing in front of the dressing table while they organized things. "Hurry up and give Xyla a makeover..."
The two female stylists immediately nodded politely. "Alright," they answered simultaneously.
Right after that, the two of them politely greeted Xyla before leading Xyla over to the dressing table...
Xyla slowly sat down.
The spotless mirror reflected her current appearance...
Her red lips, fair skin, bright eyes, and white teeth all gave off a fairy-like vibe regardless of what expression she made.
Sebastian instantly walked up behind Xyla while still holding Rachel in his arms. "Xyla, whatever you need, just tell them... The most important thing is for you to be satisfied..." He said. "Understood." Xyla smiled.
After that, Sebastian looked at the two stylists. "You must treat this beautiful lady like your goddess, got it?"
Sebastian didn't dare to neglect Xyla a single bit. Otherwise, her husband would definitely kill him.
Who in Atlantis didn't know that Xyla was the apple of Stanley Batton's eye, his sweetheart?
"That's not necessary..." Xyla looked gently at Sebastian.
"Of course, it is..." Sebastian replied.
Xyla instantly shook her head helplessly. "Please don't be like this, will you?"
Sebastian laughed. "I must. Anyway, Rachel and I will be right over there. Just call for us if you need anything..."
After that, Sebastian walked back to the couch with Rachel in his arms.
Rachel directly sat down.
Meanwhile, Sebastian sat on the armrest on Rachel's side as he continued trying to persuade Rachel to drink the glass of milk.

Chapter 1117
Four hours later, Pink Misty's look was completed.
The stylists were able to reenact the look exactly as described in the original work.
At the top of her long black hair was a split in the center. The lower part of her hair was completely pulled to the back while the outer section was tied into thin, long braids. Three thin, silver chains were placed above her forehead, and her face had extremely light yet elegant makeup on.
Wearing a white tulle dress, her perfectly aligned collar bones were bare. Xyla Quest seemed to be covered by a layer of white mist from head to toe. Indeed, she looked like a fairy more than anything else.
At this moment, even if Xyla did nothing and stood silently where she was, it was enough to make everyone fall for her...
Suddenly, Sebastian Brenand, Rachel Wood, and countless employees all surrounded her and continuously complimented her-
"If it isn't Pink Misty, the fairy herself, who could it be?"
"Exactly... Doesn't she look way too good?"
Everyone said one thing after another, and they all seemed stunned.
Xyla turned around and looked at her reflection in the mirror. At that moment, she was able to see her complete makeover.
She was also very pleased with her look. This made her look practically like a fairy.
Sebastian excitedly took his phone out and recorded a video of Xyla before sending it over to Stanley Batton.
After that, Sebastian clapped. "Tsk, tsk... It's awesome, Xyla... This was how I imagined Pink Misty would look..."
After saying that, Sebastian looked at Xyla. "Xyla, you can get your photo shoot done first... Once that's done, your work is done for the day. I'll invite Stanley, Henry, and the others to dinner after that..." "Okay..." Xyla nodded with a smile.
Right after that, a middle-aged male photographer led Xyla to where the photo shoot would take place, and he started taking pictures of Xyla...
The shooting process went smoothly.
Due to her stunningly beautiful makeover, Xyla was able to charm everyone by casually striking random poses...
The middle-aged male photographer was stunned by how beautiful Xyla looked through the camera.
This was the first time he met such a good-looking lady in real life.
***
Once the photo shoot was done, Xyla removed the makeup and changed into her clothes.
After that, Xyla, Sebastian, Rachel, and the bodyguards all rushed over to meet Stanley Batton and the rest at the high-class Chinese restaurant they had chosen in advance-Lou's Chrysanthemum. The restaurant was designed in a traditional Chinese-style. The primary colors of the design were dark brown and white.
Walking into this place was like walking into the dining room of an ancient royal family.
After walking through the door, the entourage walked grandly up to the second floor. They arrived at the room Sebastian had booked in advance.
By then, Stanley and Henry Armstrong had already arrived. The two sat across each other at the dark brown, traditional-style dining table while they smoked and chatted.
When Henry saw Xyla, he immediately waved at her. His smile was apparent through his distinctive black-and-white, peach-shaped eyes. "Hi... Xyla..."
"Hi..." Xyla smiled as she waved at him.
The moment Stanley saw Xyla, his gaze turned gentle. He immediately waved at her. "Come here..." He said softly.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... We can only see you like this in front of Xyla..." Henry crossed one leg over the other flamboyantly. He leaned lazily against a high-class, dark brown, traditional-style chair as he teased Stanley. "Do you have a problem with that?" Stanley asked.
Henry instantly shrugged. "How could I possibly have a problem with that? Would I even dare?"
While the two of them spoke, Xyla directly sat next to Stanley.
Stanley immediately extended his arm and naturally held her hand. "Was it hot outside? Hmm?"
Chapter 1118
Chapter 1118
"No, it wasn't hot..." Xyla Quest said.
Immediately after that, Sebastian Brenand held Rachel Wood in his arms and sat next to Henry Armstrong. He started pouring Rachel a cup of tea considerately. He seemed incomparably devoted.
Seeing how the two couples were being visibly affectionate, Henry felt awfully envious as a bachelor.
When would he be able to make Georgie Clementine his and show their love off like this too?
Why did other people's love come so easy while his seemed so difficult?
"I shouldn't have come today..." Henry looked at the two couples and joked.
"Go ahead, be jealous and hateful," Sebastian teased.
"What's there to be jealous of? I'll get my sweet love sooner or later," Henry said confidently.
"Hehe... I feel that getting Georgie to say yes to you is even more difficult than getting flowers to bloom on a steel tree," Sebastian said.
"Can you not curse me? If I manage to get Georgie, I'll show off our love in front of you every day until you die," Henry said.
"In that case, shall I wish you good luck?" Sebastian said.
Henry rolled his eyes at Sebastian.
After hearing what the two of them said, Xyla felt that Henry had really made up his mind this time. He only had eyes for Georgie.
Based on what Xyla knew, Henry hadn't contacted anyone else recently apart from Georgie. This meant that he genuinely had fallen for her.
As an observer, Xyla felt completely touched by Henry's determination.
At first, she didn't want to get involved in the matter between him and Georgie. Apart from not wanting to interfere with Georgie's love life, there was another significant reason. It was because Xyla was afraid Henry's passion wouldn't last long.
Now, it seemed like that wasn't the case.
Hence, Xyla suddenly decided she wanted to help him.
Stanley Batton completely ignored the two of them. He carefully poured Xyla a cup of high-quality Dragon Well tea and brought it close to her mouth.
Xyla naturally took a sip before looking at Rachel Wood. "Rachel, has your healthy condition been better recently?" Xyla asked.
Rachel nodded. "Yeah... Very much so," she replied softly.
Xyla's smile widened. "That's great..."
When Sebastian saw Stanley feeding Xyla tea, he instantly picked up the cup of tea he had poured and brought it close to Rachel's mouth.
Meanwhile, Rachel looked at everyone embarrassedly before carefully taking a sip.
As a bachelor, Henry finally couldn't stand it anymore. He instantly looked at the pretty waitress. "Hurry up, let's order food..."
The pretty waitress immediately brought a menu over.
Each of them ordered a single dish.
After taking their orders, the pretty waitress quickly left the room.
After that, Stanley, Sebastian, and Henry started talking about business.
Xyla didn't interrupt them. Instead, she silently pulled Rachel over to the coffee table by the window and sat down. They ate melon seeds while they chatted. Xyla was rather fond of Rachel.
Chapter 1119
Chapter 1119
With Rachel Wood's personality, she spoke very little. Moreover, she was very prim and proper...
Since the two of them had similar opinions on many things, they were able to have a great conversation.
***
Meanwhile, in the grand lobby downstairs, Georgie Clementine walked through the door. She directly walked over to a young man, who wore a suit and had small eyes, sitting at a table by the window.
The man before her was dressed up very well. He was wearing a dark blue Armani suit and a white Versace shirt on the inside. There wasn't a single wrinkle on his outfit.
For someone like Georgie, who'd gotten used to seeing handsome men, she honestly found him unattractive.
Compared to the man's presentable way of dressing up, Georgie was much more casual. She didn't have any makeup on, and she was wearing the tight-fitting black dress she'd worn to work today. When the man saw Georgie, he immediately stood up cheerfully and extended a hand to Georgie. "Hello... Miss, my name is Woody Grayson. You can call me Woody..."
Georgie shook his hand indifferently. After that, she casually sat in front of him and crossed one leg over the other naturally. She also crossed her arms in front of her chest in a defensive manner. "Mr. Grayson, I'll cut to the chase... We're not right for each other..."
"Why? Is there something you don't like about me?" Woody Grayson had a disappointed look in his eyes.
"My mother forced me to come here today. I have no intention of seeing a potential suitor at all. I hope you tell your mother that you don't like me after you get home. This way, my mother will stop bothering me," Georgie said.
Their mothers set up this date.
Recently, Georgie had brought her mother over to Atlantis. Since her mother liked dancing, she ended up becoming acquainted with another woman who liked dancing too. That woman was the mother of this man before Georgie.
When the two mothers met, they immediately became friends. While chatting, they discovered that both their children were unmarried. Moreover, they both were doing very well in life. Hence, the two of them started planning to introduce their kids to each other...
Georgie had declined her mother on the many occasions that the latter brought this up. In the end, her mother went on a hunger strike to coerce Georgie forcefully...
Since Georgie couldn't win the argument, she had no choice but to put up with this date.
"But I do like you a lot..." Grayson said as he laughed. "I heard you work at X Entertainment, don't you? You also need to work very hard, don't you? If you get married to me, you won't have to work so hard anymore... I can give you an allowance every month," he said.
"Girls are better off finding a good man... Look at me. I work in Dragon Group... I'm the deputy head of the products department, and I've got a bright future ahead of me... Isn't that great? "Be with me. We'll date for a month before getting married... Isn't that great? Women should get married young and become housewives to support their husbands and raise children. "Otherwise, once they get older, they won't be worth as much. After you get married to me, you won't have to do anything. Just stay at home, do the laundry, cook, and look after the kids.
"I think you look great. Even without makeup, you are gorgeous... I like women like you. Why do women put makeup on? It's such a waste of money, isn't it?" Woody looked at Georgie confidently as he started blabbering his ideologies of toxic masculinity.
He was confident that his words would make Georgie feel moved.
However, his toxic masculinity immediately appalled Georgie. She instantly frowned a little.
She found every single word he said annoying.
Georgie felt that every second with a person like this was suffocating...
She immediately stood up. "I'm sorry... I have to leave now..." Georgie said coldly.
Woody immediately became annoyed.
He stomped his foot on the ground and stood up before grabbing Georgie's hand. "No... Why are you so snobbish? What's so great about you?"
Georgie instantly started frowning coldly...
Chapter 1120
Chapter 1120
The things this man said had already made Georgie Clementine feel very annoyed. Now that he was behaving like an obnoxious jerk, it made Georgie feel even more disgusted. Georgie really didn't know what gave this person the courage to act like this.
However, she didn't want to argue with him in public. She instantly pushed his hand away and was prepared to leave.
Arguing with someone like him would only devalue herself.
People like him didn't even deserve a glance from her.
After finishing what she wanted to say, Georgie directly turned around and left.
Meanwhile, Woody Grayson continued to tail after her to the restaurant's entrance.
He really didn't like this woman's attitude toward him. What was she playing at?
Noticing that Woody had followed her out, Georgie couldn't be bothered to continue speaking with him. Hence, she started walking to her car.
"Say, Georgie..." Woody directly called out to her.
Georgie continued to ignore him and pressed her car key to unlock her car.
Soon, her new white Maserati beeped twice, and the car's light also flashed twice.
Being ignored made Woody feel even angrier.
He truly hated arrogant women like her!
Woody immediately stepped forward and reached out to block Georgie's way. "Hey... I'm talking to you. Can't you hear me?"
"I don't want to argue with you. Please get out of the way," Georgie said.
Suddenly, the feeling of anger simmering at the bottom of her heart intensified...
"What if I don't?" Woody asked arrogantly. "I want to ask you, what did I say wrong? Why must you treat me like this? Am I not good enough? Is it because I'm not handsome?
"Aren't you just X Entertainment's CEO? What's so great about you? Do you know what my family does?" Woody asked arrogantly once again.
"If you knew, you'd regret your decision today... Ahh... Ahh... Ahh..." Before he could finish his sentence, Georgie directly removed her high heel and started hitting his face with the heel in her hand. He had no choice but to cover his head and repeatedly shout.
Seeing him in this state made Georgie instantly feel much better.
She immediately stopped hitting him and put her high heel back on the ground. Quickly, she stepped into the heel. It was a swift set of movement, and it made her look cool and awesome...
After wiping the dust off her hands, Georgie glared coldly at Woody, whose face was now bruised. "D*mn it... Just because I controlled my temper well, did you think I was a weakling? Do you know why I ignored you? Alright, I'll tell you why...
"That's because you're a jerk! Alright? Are you looking for a wife or a nanny? Get rid of your toxic masculinity, and get out of my way," Georgie said coldly once again.
When Henry Armstrong came out, he saw Georgie yelling at the man in a cool way...
He immediately stopped walking and leaned against the marble pillar by the door and looked at Georgie with interest. There was a look of approval in his eyes...
He watched how she hit the man's face...
'Tsk, tsk, tsk... That's indeed Georgie.
'Way too cool!'
"You... You... I'm going to tell my mother when I get home!" Woody pointed at Georgie's face angrily and yelled.
"Aren't you way too old to go crying to your mother... Fine... Go ahead. You'd better get your father to come along too!" Georgie said before directly turning around and preparing to leave.
In the end, she still didn't feel satisfied enough. She immediately turned around and stepped on his foot...
