Chapter 1291

The person who came in was the team's president, Michael Gabriel.

When Michael saw Alex's nervous expression, he immediately walked forward and sat down next to Alex. "What's wrong with you?"

"No... Nothing..." Alex shook his head.

"Let's go and have dinner..." Michael said.

Alex nodded.

After that, Michael scanned Alex up and down carefully before getting up and leaving...

For some unknown reason, Michael felt that something was wrong with Alex.

As for what it was, Michael couldn't figure it out.

Looking at Michael from behind, Alex immediately let out a long sigh of relief.

The following day, Xyla Quest saw Goose Factory's talent show, Fire Up Street Dancing Season Two, announcing its five mentors on Weibo's official page as soon as she opened her eyes...

These mentors were Jerry Gamelan, Teresa Panther, Ringo Chalmers, Fabian Suave, and Noah Miller. Noah Miller was Noah Smith's stage name.

The official poster had a white backdrop with pictures of the five mentors at the bottom, whereas the words 'Fire Up Street Dancing' were written in black and bold on top...

The only woman among the mentors was Teresa, and her picture was placed in the center.

Jerry and Noah were on both sides of Teresa...

Meanwhile, Ringo and Fabian stood next to Noah and Jerry, respectively.

All five of them were very good-looking, and they were eye-candies.

Meanwhile, Noah looked the best among them. He stood out to Xyla at first glance.

Noah had short, black hair, and part of his hair was styled into bangs that were slightly curled. There were even light-blue highlights in the upper section.

Apart from that, a lot of silver highlights were used on his bangs.

His stunningly handsome face had on a little bit of smokey makeup. This made his already gentle-looking facial features appear even more exotic.

In the picture, Noah smiled widely with two intricate dimples on his cheeks. He looked very extraordinary...

Apart from Noah Smith, a newcomer in the industry, all the other mentors on the show were experienced people who had worked in the entertainment industry for many years. Jerry was considered one of the oldest idols in the country. He was forty years old this year. Coined as 'Dancing King of the Continent'. He had been popular ever since his debut. Teresa Panther had a similar background.

She was thirty-eight years old, and she was known as the 'Dancing Queen of the Continent'.

Although the two of them weren't young anymore, they still appeared very vibrant.

From the first glance, they'd seem to be in their early thirties.

Meanwhile, Ringo and Fabian were currently two of the most famous celebrities in the entertainment industry. They were both excellent at singing and acting, and they had countless fans... When Fire Up Street Dancing Season One was aired on Goose Factory's internet platform, it accomplished legendary online variety show ratings...

For this very reason, as soon as Fire Up Street Dancing Season One was officially announced this year, it instantly attracted a lot of attention!

At this moment, the comment section on the show's official page was flooded with comments...

Despite only being published half an hour ago, the Weibo post already had over thirty million shares, likes, and comments...

"Ahh! Thank you, X Entertainment and Xyla Quest, for providing such great resources to Noah Miller!"

"Ahh... It's actually real! Noah Miller, you can do it!"

"Ahh... Jerry Gamelan, I love you... Do your best!"

"Teresa Panther, don't worry! I'll always be here for you!"

"Ringo Chalmers! Fabian Suave! I love these two a lot..."

"I'm going crazy! Noah Miller!"

"Here's a fun fact. Jerry, Noah, and Teresa are all from X Entertainment."

"To the commenter above, shut up... I don't want to keep saying I'm jealous of Xyla."

When Xyla looked at these comments, she couldn't help smiling a little...

Right then, the door was opened.

Xyla was shocked to see the person at the door.

Chapter 1292

Chapter 1292

The person who came was Sharon Lindt...

She was holding a red, square jewelry box with golden velvet linings.

Once the door was opened, Sharon immediately scratched her head awkwardly when she saw Xyla Quest. "I'm sorry. I forgot to knock... Let me do that again...'

Sharon honestly forgot to knock. That was very impolite! It was also very awkward!

'Ahh...'

Xyla chuckled while she slowly sat up on the bed. "Mom... It's okay... Come here, quick."

Sharon instantly walked over to the bed and placed the red jewelry box with golden velvet linings in Xyla's hand. "I bought this set of jewelry for you last night. See if you like it...

"It was very late when I bought it. I wanted to come here and deliver it to you, but I was afraid you might be asleep already. That's why I'm here in the morning.

"When I arrived, Stan was making breakfast downstairs. He told me that you're probably awake and that I should come and look for you on my own," Sharon added. With that, Sharon carefully opened the box...

A set of intricate, ruby jewelry came into view.

The necklace was made with a thin platinum chain and a round ruby pendant hanging beneath it...

Around the pendant was a full circle of diamonds.

Each diamond was one carat in value.

Meanwhile, the bracelet was designed in the same fashion as the necklace. It was made with beads of the same size...

The earrings were also designed like the pendant, with jewelry of the same size.

The ring had a thin, platinum circle as the base, and the jewelry on top was identical to the pendant on the necklace.

When warm sunlight seeped into the room from somewhere nearby, it shone upon this set of jewelry, making it shiny and attractive. It seemed incomparably luxurious. Xyla was instantly stunned by the set of jewelry before her.

At this moment, her eyes lit up.

Meanwhile, Sharon was also in a wonderful mood when she saw Xyla's reaction...

"What do you think, Xyla? Do you like it?" Sharon asked hopefully.

When Xyla heard this, she immediately stopped smiling and looked at Sharon earnestly. "You've given me way too much stuff. You really have to stop buying gifts for me..." Xyla felt a little embarrassed about constantly receiving gifts from Sharon.

Sharon immediately rolled her eyes at Xyla. "Why do you need to worry about such formalities? Anyway, even if I don't spend my money, wouldn't I end up saving it for you, my kids? What's the difference between giving it to you now and giving it to you in the future?

"Alright... Shush, stop nagging, or I'll get angry," Sharon said. Her facial expression had also turned serious.

When Xyla saw that, she helplessly nodded and looked at Sharon. "Thank you, Mom..."

"That's a good girl. When I give you stuff... You only have to say 'thank you'. You're not allowed to say any other nonsensical stuff. Since you're already part of the family, I will do everything in my power to shower you with affection," Sharon said.

Xyla was speechless.

"Did Stan make chicken soup for you last night?" Sharon asked.

"Yeah..." Xyla said.

"That's more like it... Alright, darling. Put the jewelry on and show it to me..." Sharon said.

Xyla nodded obediently. After that, she carefully picked up the necklace...

When Sharon saw this, she instantly took the necklace from Xyla and helped Xyla put it on.

The necklace was positioned just nicely above Xyla's collar bones.

After wearing the ruby jewelry, Xyla's fair skin on her neck and collarbones appeared even fairer in contrast...

The noble ruby jewelry made Xyla appear even classier.

After that, Sharon helped Xyla put on the ring and earrings.

The noble ruby jewelry and shiny diamonds made Xyla appear unusually classy and charming.

Chapter 1293

Chapter 1293

Even without any makeup on, Xyla Quest still looked exquisitely beautiful.

Sharon Lidnt couldn't resist complimenting her. "So beautiful... Quick, have a look, darling..."

Xyla instantly walked over to the dressing mirror joyously. She looked at her reflection in the mirror...

The mirror inlaid with gold and diamonds showed her reflection. She was glowing like a diamond, appearing both fairy-like and noble.

Sharon had very good taste.

Xyla was very pleased with the set of jewelry.

Coincidentally, X Entertainment's second anniversary was coming in a few days.

When the time came, Xyla could attend the celebration with this set of jewelry.

During X Entertainment's first anniversary, Georgie Clementine was the only one who showed up. Back then, Xyla didn't appear because she wanted to keep a low profile.

But now that her identity had been exposed, Xyla had no reason not to attend.

Sharon happened to be able to see Xyla's reflection in the mirror too.

The longer she looked at Xyla, the more pleased she felt...

Sharon couldn't help but stand up and walk up behind Xyla. She put her hands on Xyla's shoulders and looked at Xyla's beautiful reflection in the mirror. "My daughter-in-law is the only person who can pull this off..." Sharon complimented.

Xyla immediately pushed her hair behind her ears embarrassedly. "That's too much..."

"This is the truth... Stanley is very fortunate to have a wonderful wife like you. Our family truly prayed hard for this..." Sharon added.

While the two were speaking, the door was opened...

Stanley Batton slowly walked into the room.

As soon as he opened the door, he heard what Sharon was saying. Stanley smiled a little before walking up to the two of them.

When Stanley saw how Xyla was glowing with the jewelry, he was stunned by how beautiful she seemed. His eyes that were initially calm now filled with a look of approval. "My wife is so beautiful.....” "Exactly... I was just saying that you're a lucky man for having a wife like her," Sharon said.

Stanley nodded in agreement. His eyes were filled with affection when he looked at Xyla. "Yeah, you're right..."

"Alright... You two should get to breakfast. I'll take my leave now..." Sharon said.

"Aren't you going to join us?" Xyla asked.

"I've already eaten. I won't get in your way..." Sharon said.

After that, Sharon left...

Xyla quickly held Stanley's hand and walked out after Sharon.

After sending Sharon off, Xyla held Stanley's hand and returned to the house.

As soon as they made it past the door, Xyla looked at Stanley. "Oh, right. It's X Entertainment's second anniversary next Saturday... Would you like to come with me?"

"Sure." Stanley ruffled Xyla's hair affectionately. "Whatever you want..."

"Go upstairs and get cleaned up. It's time to have breakfast. I've already prepared breakfast, and it's all your favorite food..." Stanley added.

Xyla instantly felt a warmth in her heart. "Okay. Honey, you're the best..."

After that, Xyla let go of Stanley. She skipped up the stairs.

Once Xyla had cleaned herself up briefly, she headed downstairs without any makeup on...

Just as she was about to enter the kitchen, her phone started ringing....

When Xyla saw the contents on her phone screen, she instantly smiled satisfactorily.

Stanley walked out of the dining room and saw Xyla smiling at her phone.

He immediately walked up to her. "What are you looking at? What is putting such a big smile on your face, hmm?" he asked with interest.

Chapter 1294

Chapter 1294

Xyla Quest laughed a little. She held her phone up to Stanley Batton's face to show him the news headline on the screen. "Here, look at this..."

"X Entertainment announced on its official Weibo page that it has successfully signed a contract with the viral internet celebrity, Cadence Carmichael! The company's share price increased by 10%..." This was clearly written on the phone's screen.

"Oh." When Stanley saw Cadence Carmichael's name, he remained calm.

Although he had agreed to let Xyla sign this person on, he still felt annoyed by it.

"Cadence is someone who has a lot of his followers. It'd be odd if the company's share price didn't increase after signing him on...

"This person's aura can instantly outshine most of the other celebrities in the entertainment industry...

"With a little bit of effort, we'd be able to make him a top-notch celebrity..." Xyla enunciated each word slowly. Her eyes were filled with joy.

"Oh." Stanley still seemed indifferent.

Xyla knew why Stanley was behaving like this. She couldn't resist rolling her eyes at him right away. "What's the matter with you? Are you still annoyed with him?"

"Hmm... I still think that this kid has impure objectives..." Stanley said.

"Your wife really isn't that charming... Besides, can you have a little faith in your wife?" Xyla asked.

When Stanley heard this, he immediately frowned seriously. "Who said my wife isn't charming? If you're not charming, then nobody else in the world is..." Xyla was speechless.

"Anyway, I've said it before, and I'll repeat it. Stay away from him..." Stanley said.

"Have faith in me..." Xyla said.

With that, Xyla affectionately grabbed Stanley's arm and smiled. "Alright, honey. I'm hungry... Let's have breakfast..."

***

After she was done with breakfast, Xyla didn't leave the dining room immediately.

Instead, she finished half her glass of warm milk. After that, she opened Weibo to have a look.

Right then, the number one hot topic was '#Cadence Carmichael signed to X Entertainment#'.

Xyla immediately tapped on it with interest to check it out.

What came into sight was a post by X Entertainment's official Weibo page. It was about how Cadence was now part of X Entertainment.

This Weibo post's shares, likes, and comments had already exceeded ten million.

The comment section below was flooded.

"Ahh... Cadence Carmichael, my husband! It still came true in the end. He has become one of Xyla's men!"

"Everyone knows that most of the popular idols in the entertainment industry belong to Xyla."

"Cadence, don't worry... Your fans will always be here for you! Xyla, you're way too lucky!"

"Ahh! Cadence only said it publicly yesterday that he'd do this, and it has already happened today. Apart from wishing him well, I also want to say that I'm jealous of Xyla..." "Cadence, let your fans accompany you down the path of glory."

"Ahh... This is awesome! Big brother, let's work together to become someone better!"

"Xyla, please look after our big brother. Thank you!"

***

Time flew by quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the day of X Entertainment's second anniversary.

The high-level executives in X Entertainment organized the entire celebration.

They decided to hold it in the largest banquet hall in Silver International Hotel.

There were two floors in this banquet hall, and each floor was two thousand square meters in area.

It had everything, including a stage, desks, and chairs.

Chapter 1295

Chapter 1295

Since Xyla Quest liked red roses, the stage was surrounded by white cotton and bright red roses...

At first glance, it seemed as if the flowers were in full bloom in a bed of clouds. It was a magnificent view...

X Entertainment's contract artists, trainees, and employees from each department were all gathered in the hall.

Right then, everyone occupied all five hundred tables in the large hall.

Popular artists like Josh Batton, Dave Wilkins, Noah Smith, Jay Corben, Morty Wayne, and Cadence Carmichael sat at the two tables nearest to the stage... Meanwhile, everyone else sat in the rows further behind...

The two seats next to where Josh sat were both empty. Those were reserved for Stanley Batton and Xyla Quest.

The other seats were taken up by Noah, Cadence, Jay, Morty, and a few of the high-level executives in the company.

Today, all staff members, including Josh, were dressed up. They were either in classy tuxedos or gowns.

Josh wore a pure black tuxedo coat with a white shirt on the inside. He didn't have a tie on, and there was a hint of casualness in his noble attire.

There was a cheetah brooch from the Pluie de Cartier collection on his collar.

On his right index finger was a cheetah ring from the same collection.

Josh's short, thick, and black hair was groomed loosely behind his head. He had light makeup on, and his shiny forehead and intricate facial features were on full display... Although there were many people in the hall and many handsome men around him, he still shone the brightest in the crowd...

His pure aura stood out from the rest.

Right then, Josh was looking at his phone with his head down. When he was quiet like this, he appeared gentle and completely harmless...

Morty, who sat on his right, wore a white tuxedo coat with a white shirt and white dress shoes. His short hair was split in a ratio of three to seven, and he also had light makeup on. With makeup on, his facial features that made him look mixed presented him in an even more attractive fashion...

Morty's attire made his soft and gentle disposition even more apparent.

Meanwhile, Jay wore a dark gray tuxedo coat with lines on it and a white shirt on the inside. He still had his short staple hairstyle, and he had slight smokey makeup on his face... At one glance, he still appeared as cool as ever...

The girls around Jay greeted him one after another.

However, Jay responded in a frigid and distant manner. He only chatted with Morty the entire time.

In fact, he would even occasionally nudge Morty with his elbow.

Jay intentionally teased Morty to make him mad so that Morty would pay attention to him and hit him.

The two of them seemed to be in their world...

Clearly, they were the center of attention. However, they only paid attention to each other and nobody else.

Since the ceremony hadn't officially begun, many female artists and trainees in the company gradually left their tables.

They kept approaching Josh and the other currently famous celebrities to greet them.

Since Morty and Jay seemed to be in their world, and other people couldn't even get their attention, everyone naturally ignored them. They mostly surrounded Josh and continually asked for a photo with him as well as his autograph...

Meanwhile, Josh was also very polite and agreed to their requests.

Although he was the celebrity with the highest status in the company, he had an incomparably humble demeanor.

He said yes to everyone's requests...

During the time people lined up for Josh's autograph and a picture with him, several trainees began whispering amongst themselves— "Ahh... Senior Josh is so handsome... Although we're in the same company, this is the first time I've met him in person..."

"Me too, me too. He's really handsome! His mother sure has good genes. His brother, Stanley Batton, is also very handsome!"

Chapter 1296

Chapter 1296

"That's right. Stanley Batton is handsome. I overheard our CEO chatting with the other high-level executives. She said that Stanley would be coming today too." "Huh? Really? Is that god-like man going to be here too? Ahh... I'm about to go crazy!"

***

Outside the hotel, security was very tight.

Several hundred police officers were dutifully patrolling outside.

Meanwhile, several hundred bodyguards dressed in black kept a tight watch on the front and back entrances of the hotel...

Not even a single fly could get in.

A black Bugatti Veyron came to a halt with six black Porsche Cayenne security cars in parking spaces in front of the hotel's entrance.

Sixteen bodyguards got out of their cars first.

Once they got out, they walked to both sides of the Bugatti Veyron in an organized manner before respectfully opening the car doors on both sides. Right after that, Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton got out of the car on each side, respectively.

The two of them were also dressed up today.

Xyla's long, black, curly hair naturally rested on both sides of her shoulder.

She had peach-colored makeup on her face and was wearing the set of ruby jewelry Sharon Lindt had gifted her a few days ago.

On top of that, she wore a high-class, flowy, peach-colored gown with red spots custom-made by Dior.

The gown was very body-hugging in the upper portion, while the lower part was slightly fluffed up to accentuate her slim waist.

Xyla's fair skin made her appear even more fairy-like with the contrast of the peach-colored gown.

At one glance, she appeared both pure and sexy like this...

Not only was she fairy-like, but she also seemed noble...

Many elements blended on her body, but none of it was out of place.

Meanwhile, Stanley's hair was brushed neatly to the back of his head. He wore a navy-blue Versace tuxedo coat with dark checkers, a white Armani shirt on the inside, and a vest with the same color. He also wore a pair of black, classy, custom-made Versace leather shoes.

When the good-looking couple walked together, they became the center of attention without even having to do anything.

Stanley naturally held Xyla's hand as they slowly walked into the hotel.

Behind them, many fans of artists from X Entertainment stood on the opposite side of the road. There were also some reporters.

Due to the strict security, everybody couldn't get close. They could only stand far away on the opposite side of the road while they waited for their respective idols...

The number of fans there was very shocking...

There were people everywhere from one end of the road to the other.

Each fan held a lit board with the respective names of their idols on it, as well as banners...

Among these boards and banners, Josh Batton's name had the highest count.

When the fans saw Xyla and Stanley, they were all stunned by their attractive appearance.

Suddenly, people couldn't stop screaming...

Many couldn't resist shouting excitedly -

"Ahh... Xyla Quest is beautiful... D*mn, she's so fair too. Even from afar, I can sense her skin glowing!"

"Ahh... Xyla will be able to see all the idols we like after going inside."

"The people we try so hard to get close to are simply little brothers and sisters to Xyla... Thinking about this makes me really jealous..."

"The craziest thing is that Josh Batton, my idol, is her brother-in-law... Not only can she see this person at the office, but she can even see him at home. D*mn!" The more they said, the more jealous they felt.

In the end, it was a case of sour grapes for everyone.

***

The moment Xyla and Stanley walked into the banquet hall, the initially noise-filled hall instantly became quiet.

Chapter 1297

Chapter 1297

Everyone's eyes were on them.

Despite the many shiny stars in the hall, the two still shone the brightest.

As soon as they arrived, everyone became part of the backdrop.

Seeing how in love the two of them were, everybody was jealous and envious...

The female celebrities, especially, wished they could replace Xyla Quest when they saw the big boss next to her.

Who was Stanley Batton? He was the most powerful big boss, someone inferior only to one but superior to the rest...

A man like him was every woman's dream.

Despite the burning gazes from people around them, Xyla and Stanley only had eyes for each other.

Stanley, especially, maintained a cold expression from the beginning.

There seemed to be a cold barrier around his body. Although he was amidst the crowd, he stood out from everyone else...

He was like an unreachable flower in the wild.

However, even if he appeared this way, it still didn't stop women from admiring him.

"D*mn... I can't breathe... He's handsome..."

"Our president is also wonderful, isn't she? They look good together!"

"Who wouldn't want to find someone like Stanley or our president?"

"I can't take it anymore! Mr. Batton is so attractive!"

"Our boss is stunningly beautiful. I'm her biggest fan!"

The female celebrities and trainees all began discussing passionately...

In fact, many people took their phones out and started taking photos of the two of them.

They were doing it at an even shockingly faster rate than a paparazzo.

Not far away, Josh Batton was also looking at the two.

Watching the couple, Josh began to feel envious of them.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Josh slowly stood up and circled the trainees asking for his autograph. He approached Xyla and Stanley.

The three of them looked outstandingly good together...

Suddenly, another heated discussion began in the hall.

Everyone's attention was focused on the three of them.

It was for no reason other than the fact that they all looked extremely attractive.

"Brother... Sister-in-law... You're here," Josh said with a gentle chuckle. There was a pleasant magnetic quality to his voice.

His smile was like a cool summer breeze that made one feel at ease.

It was like a warm sun in the middle of winter that could melt away ice and keep one warm...

Although Josh and Stanley looked similar when they stood together, their vibes were completely different because one was cold while the other was warm. The two brothers were opposite extremes.

"Hey... You're here early..." Xyla chuckled.

Josh glanced at his watch. "Not quite. I was only thirty minutes early. Anyway, I didn't have anything else to do. That's why I came early..."

"Okay. The ceremony is about to begin... I'll get on stage for a few words first..." Xyla smiled and said.

Josh nodded.

After that, Xyla lifted her dress a little and prepared to head onto the stage...

As soon as she lifted her dress, the pair of silver high heels beneath it came into sight.

The pure silver color made her feet appear fair and smooth. It was almost like the surface of the water.

With her light footsteps, Xyla confidently walked toward the stage.

Josh smiled as he looked at Stanley. "Brother, let's go and sit down..."

Chapter 1298

Chapter 1298

Stanley Batton nodded slightly. He then followed Josh Batton with a serious expression on his face. The two of them sat down in their respective seats. After the brothers were seated, Xyla Quest stood in the center of the stage.

First, she looked down and switched on the microphone in her hand. After that, she scanned the banquet hall.

She then smiled and began to speak.

"In the blink of an eye, X Entertainment has already been established for two years... In the past two years, a lot has changed in X Entertainment...

"When the company was first established, we were only a tiny, unknown company. However, due to everyone's collective efforts, we've become the second company after King Entertainment...

"I believe we'll keep getting better. As the company improves, I'll also make sure everyone in this hall will get better...

"Anyone who follows me won't be treated poorly. I'll fulfill all my promises...

"I hope everyone trusts in me... Follow me, and I will lead you onto the path of glory in life..." Xyla said.

Xyla seemed fully confident on stage, and she shone brighter than ever.

She was like the brightest star in the night sky.

As soon as Xyla finished speaking, everyone in the hall clapped. With just a few sentences, she'd manage to stir everyone up...

Stanley was also clapping for her.

There was a look of approval in his eyes as he looked at her...

Once Xyla finished her speech, she chuckled again. "Alright, I shall not say more... Let's enjoy the show..."

Right then, the master of ceremony, Andrea Russo, who was currently a famous actress from X Entertainment, walked onto the stage...

She carefully took the microphone from Xyla before quickly standing in the center of the stage. She then began speaking elegant opening lines... Meanwhile, Xyla lifted her dress slightly and walked toward Stanley.

When her gaze unintentionally swept past the entrance, she saw a young girl in a long, blue gown frantically running out with a phone in her hand... Xyla recognized that young lady.

She was a new actress Georgie Clementine had signed onto the company a while ago, Betty Starmount...

Betty was a popular girl in Atlantis Academy of Films. She was a top student in the acting department, and she was from the western region of the country. Betty was obedient, and she was stunningly beautiful.

When Xyla saw how frantic Betty looked, she subconsciously felt that Betty must be in some sort of trouble.

Xyla instantly looked at the new actress closest to her, Belinda. "Go out and check on Betty..."

The female actress nodded respectfully. After that, she quickly lifted her white gown slightly and ran outside.

Meanwhile, Xyla quickly returned to her seat and sat down.

Her seat was extraordinary. It was positioned in between Stanley and Josh.

Stanley was on her left, and Josh was on her right...

Everyone else around them felt incredibly envious...

After the host finished delivering the opening lines, she joyfully introduced the first act. "Please join me in welcoming Jay Corben. He's going to perform an exciting dance for us..." Suddenly, everyone in the hall clapped loudly.

While everyone watched, Jay stood up with hands in his pockets. He calmly walked onto the stage.

Soon, an upbeat song began to play.

Jay started dancing along to the upbeat song with street-dancing moves.

Jay's body was extremely flexible. When he danced, he looked both cool and charming.

With just a few seductive twerking, he made the women in the hall scream repeatedly...

The ambiance in the hall was all fired up because of him.

After Jay's performance ended, the host again called out one person after another to perform on stage.

This was X Entertainment's tradition.

During the company's anniversary, everyone had to go on stage to perform...

There were all sorts of performances by everyone.

Chapter 1299

Chapter 1299

Apart from singing and dancing, there were also sketches. In fact, there was even a circus show...

Everyone's performance was exciting, and the crowd responded passionately.

Although Xyla Quest didn't attend X Entertainment's first anniversary, Georgie Clementine showed her a recording of what happened that day.

The recording might have been exciting to watch, but it was significantly lesser than watching the performances in person.

Now, Xyla's entire body was on fire...

Her X Entertainment had many hidden talents, and it made her feel very pleased on the inside.

After approximately twenty minutes, Betty Starmount and Belinda walked in while they chatted and laughed.

As soon as Betty entered the hall, she quickly walked up to Xyla. "Boss, I'm fine... I've returned... Earlier, I went to deliver something to my father..." She said carefully. "I see..." Xyla smiled with relief.

This was the first time she saw Betty up close...

At such a close distance, Betty's face looked unusually intricate and pretty.

She had a unique and exotic vibe.

"In that case, I'll go and enjoy the performances..." With that, Betty smiled and bowed deeply to Xyla. After that, she returned to her seat.

As soon as Betty sat down, her face turned cold...

She then started staring at the back of Xyla's head eerily. Her hands, which she just placed on her lap, balled tightly into fists.

As time went on, the ceremony gradually reached an end.

Josh Batton was up for the final act. After taking his coat off and pulling his shirt out of his pants, he slowly walked onto the stage. The moment he stood on stage, the sound of shouting and cheering drowned out everything else in the hall.

Soon, an upbeat song began to play.

Josh slowly retrieved a black-tie from his pocket. He started tugging at the tie as he danced and twerked to the beat of the song.... He looked both pure yet desirable, cool yet handsome like this...

All the women in the hall were going mad...

Everyone screamed uncontrollably-

"Ahh... Senior! You're so handsome!"

"Ahh! Senior, tie me up! Please tie me up!"

"I'm going to pass out, sisters... Ahh..."

Meanwhile, Xyla was also stunned by Josh's performance. Her eyes were glowing...

Although Stanley appeared very calm, his eyes filled with approval as he looked at Josh.

***

After Josh's performance ended, waiters began to present the dishes...

Soon, each table was filled with grand dishes...

X Entertainment had always been generous to its employees.

The dishes presented tonight were all expensive and exquisite. The cost of each dish was at least five figures.

Xyla had started feeling hungry long ago. As soon as the dishes were brought to the table, she started eating along with everyone else.

As they devoured the food inside the banquet hall, the fans of X Entertainment's artists quietly stood outside as they waited for their favorite person to come out... Even if they only got the chance to have a glimpse at their idol from afar, they'd feel satisfied...

***

After dinner was over, the ceremony officially came to an end.

Xyla got on stage to deliver a few pleasant closing remarks before putting the microphone down with a smile. She prepared to get off the stage...

Right then, everyone's phone started vibrating.

Suddenly, the entire banquet hall went wild!

Chapter 1300

Chapter 1300

The same content appeared on everyone's phone-

"Epic! X Entertainment successfully signed on many potential directors, filmmakers, producers, production supervisors, and editors!" Suddenly, the crowd began to discuss among themselves...

Xyla Quest, Georgie Clementine, and the high-level executives had always kept a low profile regarding this matter.

Hence, apart from the management staff, everyone else knew nothing about it.

Now, when everyone found out about this, they were all dumbfounded...

"D*mn... What's going on?"

"Our company has suddenly signed on a production team. Are they planning to produce television shows independently?"

"Does that mean we're all going to get an abundance of resources? Ahh... I'm so excited."

Many small-time celebrities began talking excitedly with each other.

Compared to the small-time celebrities, the A-listers like Josh Batton appeared much calmer.

After glancing at her phone, Xyla returned on stage and picked up the microphone. "Yeah... This is also a surprise I've prepared for everyone...

"Just as you guessed, we'll be independently investing in and producing web series to make our company's artists famous...

"In the future, we will certainly get better and better..." Xyla enunciated each word carefully. There was a calmness and pleasantness about her. She looked like she'd gotten used to huge scenes like this. As soon as Xyla finished speaking, there was a bout of thunderous applause off stage.

Suddenly, all the employees of the company became excited...

Stanley Batton also clapped along with the rest.

In the sea of people, he silently looked at her with approval in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Xyla also looked at Stanley's face.

After that, the two of them smiled at each other...

Even when a huge crowd surrounded, they only had eyes for each other.

Everything in the world couldn't compare to the person in their eyes. Meanwhile, many celebrities coincidentally snapped photos of this scene.

This scene deeply touched many people.

"Ahh... The way Stanley is looking at President Xyla. My heart is about to explode..."

"Isn't that so? The way President Xyla is looking at Stanley is also very gentle."

"President Xyla has stars in her eyes. This is what true happiness looks like..."

Some of the celebrities taking pictures of Xyla and Stanley continued to say one thing after another.

After putting down the microphone again, Xyla elegantly walked off the stage.

Slowly, the applause in the hall subsided like tides in the ocean...

The world gradually became quiet.

"President Xyla... Can we share the photos we've taken today from the company's second anniversary?" A petite female celebrity looked at Xyla and asked from a table some distance away. Xyla chuckled. "Sure... But remember to photoshop my pictures..."

Suddenly, everyone burst into laughter.

All of them couldn't resist speaking up.

"You're already so beautiful. Even without using photoshop, you'd still instantly outshine all of us..." Morty Wayne said.

"Exactly... Honestly, your unedited pictures are better than the photoshopped ones..." Noah Smith said.

"If you need photoshop for your pictures, should we all just give up on life?" Cadence Carmichael asked.

"Sister-in-law, tell me, why do you need photoshop? Is it for your face? Your face is thin enough... Or your body? Your body is also perfect..." Josh Batton said.

After a few of them finished speaking, other currently famous celebrities couldn't resist showering Xyla with compliments too...
