Ch. 1511..1520
Chapter 1511
Henry Armstrong and Stanley Batton were good friends who grew up together.
Henry watched Catherine Batton grow up.
To him, Catherine was like his own biological sister.
"No, thank you... I'm fine with just watching..." Catherine said.
"Catherine... Would you like to play snooker with us?" One of the pretty rich kids waved at Catherine.
"Catherine, do you want to play some drinking games with us?"
"How about joining us in Truth or Dare by throwing some dice?"
Two rich guys invited Catherine to join them. Each of them had an extremely polite and gentle tone.
Catherine was the center of attention, and everyone wanted to get on her good side.
However, Catherine wasn't interested at all...
She immediately waved her hands at them. "No, thank you. I'll just watch Henry play mahjong here... So go ahead and enjoy yourselves. Don't mind me..." Watching Catherine respond so casually to those rich kids made the female celebrities and female influencers even more envious of her.
To keep these rich kids interested in them, these women had to use whatever tactics at their disposal.
When they came out to play, they'd even be afraid of going to the restroom for fear that someone else might steal their ideal spot next to these men... However, the men they cared so much about and needed to please constantly were being very respectful to Catherine.
Meanwhile, how did Catherine respond?
She didn't even care to indulge these men.
How about them?
Despite how coldly Catherine responded to them, none of them showed any temper.
The way these men treated Catherine was completely different from how they treated the women.
Right then, these women were all sighing in their hearts. Truly, there was a vast difference in the treatment they received.
31
Some people needed to beg on their knees for what they wanted, while others didn't need to do anything, and glory and fame would still come to them naturally.
Although each of these women felt envious, and in fact felt like ignoring Catherine because of these feelings, they still started complimenting Catherine along with the other rich kids because of her identity and status-
"Miss Batton, you are extremely pretty... I wonder what kind of skincare products you use?"
"That's right. Please share with us... Let us have soft, fair skin like yours, and also your healthy glow..."
"Miss Batton, the red outfit you're wearing makes you very attractive. Even as a woman, I feel attracted. In fact, you're making me question my sexuality..."
A few female celebrities and female influencers complimented Catherine as they played snooker and rolled dice with the rich kids around them.
It was always good for people like them, who worked in the entertainment industry, to interact more with top-notch, rich kids like Catherine.
If they managed to become friends with her, that'd be even better...
When that time came, wouldn't they easily get the resources they wanted?
However, Catherine was accustomed to these people's schemes. On the inside, she didn't feel anything despite their compliments.
Instead, Catherine simply smiled. "Thank you for your compliments. The skincare products I use the most are Wintersweet Haute Couture's series... They're not bad... You can try those out if you're interested..."
Chapter 1512
Chapter 1512
"When I was your age, I didn't use any skincare products at all. That's because I read online that one only needed to start using skincare products at the age of twenty-five. As a result, my skin is really terrible now..."
"Me too, me too. Miss Batton, you really are intelligent... You've started taking care of your skin at an early age. People like us were really harmed by those bullsh*t on the internet."
Two female influencers spoke one after another as if they were in a two-person act.
Catherine Batton chuckled again. "Indeed, myths like only needing to start looking after one's skin at twenty-five have harmed a lot of people..."
The two female influencers nodded in agreement.
Right then, someone pushed the door open once again...
Jenny Armstrong walked in wearing a blue, genuine-silk halter dress.
The hem of her dress reached her kneecap, revealing her thin, fair calves as well as her feet on a pair of silver high heels. At one glance, she was practically the definition of an extremely wonderful visual feast...
With her high ponytail and light make-up, there was purity in her eyes. She looked like a worldwide, limited-edition doll that was being displayed in a high-class cabinet.
Wonderful, pure, and noble...
"Didn't you say you weren't coming? So why did you end up coming?" Henry looked affectionately at Jenny and asked.
Jenny chuckled before walking up to Catherine and sitting on the arm of Catherine's chair.
"I got bored at home. That's why I came... But, most importantly, didn't you say Catherine was here? After thinking for a while, I still felt that I should come and play with Catherine... I was afraid that she might get bored here," Jenny said.
When Catherine heard this, she instantly leaned her head against Jenny's body. Catherine then looked up at Jenny's perfect jawline. "Indeed, you are my best friend..."
Jenny immediately started chuckling when she heard this.
When two girls around the same age got together, even saying a few simple words would make each other feel comfortable.
"Woah... Henry, is this your sister? She's so pretty."
"I finally got to see what doll-like girls are..."
Two female celebrities started praising Jenny again.
"Thank you..." Jenny replied with a smile.
Apart from that, she didn't say much else.
"Jenny... Do you want to play Truth or Dare?" A rich guy waved at her from a sofa in the corner...
He wore a white, oversized, loose T-shirt with a pair of black pants, as well as a pair of red, worldwide, limited-edition sports shoes that cost up to a million dollars. Those shoes were very appealing under the light.
There was even a currently famous female celebrity in his arms.
In total, there were three rich guys next to him. They each had a female escort who were currently popular celebrities and internet celebrities.
However, those three men were not as good-looking as him.
His looks were slightly European-like, with deep eye sockets and distinctive facial features...
He had short hair, and there was a bad boy vibe about him. He looked rather interesting just by sitting there.
"How do I play?" Jenny asked with interest.
"Come here, and I'll tell you..." The rich guy said.
His name was David Harper.
Instead of calling him a rich guy, it'd be more apt to say that he was a third-generation child from a rich and noble family...
His grandfather was the first generation. The only person who worked alongside his grandfather was his father, the only son of his grandfather.
Since his father wasn't interested in his grandfather's business, he decided to venture independently.
With his grandfather's connections, his father was able to do very well, successfully establishing an enterprise that ranked in the top hundred globally after over three decades.
What about David?
Like his father, he was equally rebellious. After graduating from a prestigious university overseas, he refused to take over his father's business.
David established an investment company to make investments.
Chapter 1513
Chapter 1513
Apart from this, he also formed an e-Sports team.
His e-Sports team made it into LPL's league, but it was at the bottom of LPL's tier list. The team's name was A4...
To David Harper, this was purely his hobby. He didn't particularly care too much about the team's results. Although his esports team didn't perform well, his investment company was rather smooth-sailing. It ranked among the top in the country.
Apart from e-Sports and investing to earn money, David's biggest hobby was collecting expensive cars and limited-edition shoes and playing with internet celebrities and female celebrities.
This man was known for his reputation as a womanizer. As a result, there was countless gossip about his love life.
However, nobody dared to criticize him.
Firstly, he could do those things. Secondly, people were afraid of his grandfather and father.
He was considered a respectable individual in Atlantis' circle of affluent people.
Jenny decisively walked up to David.
Meanwhile, David quickly offered her a seat.
After sitting down, Jenny leaned lazily into the seat and looked at him with her pretty eyes. "Tell me..."
"Play by rolling this dice...
"Each of us will take turns to roll the dice once. The roll with the smallest number loses...
"Meanwhile, the roll with the highest number wins. The person who loses will have to choose between speaking the truth or acting out a dare....
"After that, the winner will provide different forms of punishment based on the loser's choice. What do you think?" David asked earnestly.
Jenny nodded. "Sure... What if more than one person has the smallest number? For example, what would happen if three people got the same number?"
"In that case, these people with the same number continue rolling... Do you understand if I put it this way?" David asked.
Jenny immediately nodded.
David gently held the beautiful female celebrity next to him while placing the dice in Jenny's hand. "You go first..."
Jenny nodded before gently tossing the dice onto the table.
The dice spun around rapidly. Then, after a while, it finally stopped at number one.
Suddenly, Jenny's heart sank...
Meanwhile, other people couldn't resist taking in a breath of cold air.
This was truly unfortunate...
Immediately after that, other people also proceeded to roll the dice.
Among them, David had the highest number of nine...
This also meant that David was the biggest winner for the current round, and it also meant that Jenny was the loser.
Jenny bared her hands nonchalantly. "I choose Dare..."
What was the point of choosing Truth?
Since they were after excitement, she might as well go all the way.
Jenny thought that these people wouldn't dare to make any ridiculous requests.
After all, her brother was still here.
"Are you sure?" David seemed shocked.
David didn't expect Jenny to choose this.
Jenny nodded. "Come at me..."
David chuckled. There was a hint of playfulness and coolness to his smile. "Now, leave this room and ask the first person you see to give you an object of their belonging... What do you think?" Jenny nodded decisively. "Easy-peasy, isn't it? Watch me..."
Chapter 1514
Chapter 1514
After that, Jenny Armstrong walked out of the room.
Meanwhile, David Harper and the others followed behind her. Each of them stood by the door to wait for a good show.
As soon as Jenny walked out, somebody pushed the door open from the next room.
Immediately after that, Blakely Shelton slowly walked out.
Blakely wore a white cap that was pulled down low.
Underneath the cap, his fair, smooth, and refreshing face could be seen.
Although Blakely didn't have any make-up on, he still looked very handsome.
He was wearing a white, loose, hooded sweater, coupled with a pair of black, torn jeans and white sneakers.
His entire outfit made him appear youthful.
Blakely's popularity had been soaring in recent times...
One of the shows he acted in as the leading male character, 'In Your Arms', was a massive hit toward the latter part of the plot. Now, it had gotten so popular that it broke the viewership record for web dramas. The number of clicks exceeded ten billion...
Apart from that, this drama even sold its copyright to Country T, Country H, and Country R.
Currently, it was already aired on mainstream television channels in these countries.
In recent days, Blakely nearly appeared on the lists of hot topics every day, including those within and outside of the country. Then, things happened one after another... Moreover, his booked events and endorsement deals had also increased by a hundred times compared to the past.
Clearly, Blakely was now one of the new generations of massively popular celebrities.
The number of celebrities who rivaled his popularity could be counted in a single hand.
One of those people was even a male actor who also acted in 'In Your Arms'.
Jenny Armstrong's mood got better each day because her idol had been achieving much success lately.
Perhaps, due to his busy schedule, Blakely seemed tired.
However, even so, his eyes still seemed to hold many tiny stars.
With a single look, Jenny's heart stopped beating.
She didn't think that the first person she saw after coming out would be her idol.
Now, he was one of the top-notch young celebrities in the entertainment industry.
"It's you..." Blakely was the first to speak. He looked surprised.
Jenny awkwardly took in a breath of cold air. "Yeah, it's me..."
Previously, Jenny had felt embarrassed for a long while because her idol was there during her menstruation incident.
Initially, she was already able to let this go gradually...
She was also beginning to forget about it.
However, now that she saw Blakely, many memories became clear again.
A girl who went after her idol was most afraid of being humiliated in front of the said idol.
Fangirls always hoped that they could present themselves to their idols in the best light.
Jenny was no exception...
For her brother's sake and after making the promise to her father, Jenny had been trying to suppress her feelings for Blakely...
From a professional fan who dreamed of being his girlfriend, she had thoroughly become his professional fan purely.
No matter how much she liked him, she wouldn't allow herself to fantasize about those things anymore...
That was because she was destined not to be with Blakely in this lifetime.
To be honest, when Jenny first decided to seal away her feelings for Blakely, she tried not to pay attention to Blakely. In fact, she tried to stop herself from thinking about him completely... However, after a while, Jenny realized that she couldn't do it at all.
The only thing she could do now was to stop thinking about confessing her feelings for Blakely, as well as stop thinking about being with him. Instead, she would purely be concerned with Blakely's career. Occasionally, when those kinds of thoughts came up, she would also suppress them quickly.
"Yeah, what a coincidence..." Jenny said awkwardly before laughing. She was still thinking about how to ask for a piece of belonging from Blakely.
After thinking about it for a while, Jenny still felt embarrassed about it. She didn't have the courage...
Jenny immediately turned around and looked at David. "About that. You haven't told me what my punishment would be if I can't fulfill the task. What is it?"
Chapter 1515
Chapter 1515
"Dance in front of the first person you meet..." David Harper said.
"Change it to something else..." Jenny Armstrong said.
"Are you a sore loser?" David asked.
Jenny was speechless.
Indeed, she was a sore loser in front of her idol.
Blakely Shelton cocked his brows slightly. A curious gaze appeared in his eyes. "What do you need me to do?”
Blakely could guess what game this large group of people was playing.
"Jenny... Are you a sore loser?" David asked again.
"Hurry up. Stop stalling... Ask him for it..." David said.
"What do you want?" Blakely asked.
Jenny frowned deeply and glared at David. "Shut up, you jerk..." She snarled.
David immediately shut up and coughed awkwardly.
"What exactly do you need?" Blakely asked again.
"I need... I need something you own. We're just playing Truth or Dare. If you don't want to give it to me, forget it..." Jenny said helplessly.
No matter how she thought about it, asking for an object was still better than dancing.
Blakely chuckled a little. He then smoothly removed his white cap and put it over her head.
There was a light floral scent to the cap from his hair. It was the scent of his shampoo.
The scent was extremely pleasant.
"Will this do?" Blakely asked in the next second.
At that moment, Jenny's heart stopped beating for a second. "Hmm. Very well." Jenny nodded mechanically.
Blakely smiled slightly before turning around and leaving.
After taking a few steps forward, he backed away and returned to his original spot about two steps away from Jenny. After that, he looked up slightly at her face with his star-filled eyes. "In that case, I'll take my leave..."
Jenny was instantly charmed by him at that moment.
Upon taking a closer look, her idol's face really was handsome.
What kind of heavenly being was he?
"Okay... Alright..." Jenny nodded mechanically again. Her face turned extremely red...
Although Jenny was virtually unafraid of anything, her courage would falter only in front of Blakely.
Blakely smiled slightly. After that, he chucked his hands into his pockets and walked away.
When he walked, there seemed to be starlight all around his body. He even looked mesmerizing from behind.
At that moment, Jenny couldn't help but fall for him again.
However, she tried hard to suppress her emotions and swiftly recollected herself.
Jenny started to repeatedly remind herself about the deal she made with her father.
After that, she adjusted the cap on her head and looked at David. "Is that enough?" She asked in a huff.
"Yes, yes, that's enough..." David snapped his fingers satisfactorily.
Jenny rolled her eyes at him. After that, she stormed off.
Everyone else followed behind her, and they didn't even dare to make a sound.
"Who is that guy?"
"Blakely Shelton... He's been very popular recently..."
"Young celebrities are fortunate these days. As long as they look good, they can become popular." "Exactly..."
A few rich girls behind Jenny were chatting to each other.
When they brought up the topic of young celebrities, they all seemed unimpressed...
Jenny found their disdainful tone extremely annoying.
How could she hold back as Blakely's fan?
Without a doubt, she couldn't....
Chapter 1516
Chapter 1516
Jenny Armstrong immediately frowned coldly. She then walked up to the three rich kids and extended her arm in a confrontational way...
When the three of them saw this, their eyes filled with confusion. "What is the meaning of this, Jenny?" they asked simultaneously.
"What were you talking about earlier?" Jenny asked. Her tone and facial expression were equally cold.
"We weren't talking about anything in particular... We're just commenting on young, good-looking youngsters these days... Isn't that the truth?" One of them said with a confused look.
"Listen up. I have no right to comment about other young, good-looking youngsters, but Blakely Shelton... He isn't like what you said...
"He became famous not just because of his handsome face. More importantly, it's because of his effort and talent," Jenny said with a serious expression.
The three of them looked at Jenny. She made this seem like such an important matter...
Wasn't Blakely Shelton only an idol?
Was this necessary?
In the eyes of ordinary people, someone like Blakely was way out of reach.
However, to these people, he really wasn't a big deal...
"My idol has been working hard ever since his debut...
"His success isn't reliant on his looks. Instead, it is his persistent effort.
"To get better at acting, he's been taking acting classes every day until the wee hours of the morning.
"To portray a character well, he'd go to the director's room after work each day even if it was late at night...
"He'd discuss his role with the director. In fact, he'd even make careful notes.
"To act naturally in a scene where he suffered from gastric pain, he starved himself until he actually experienced it...
"In the summer, the temperature in the recording studio goes up to forty degrees Celsius, but he has never complained about it. "He'd repeatedly work on every scene he was involved in.
"Even after suffering a heat stroke, he'd immediately resume working as soon as he recovered.
"When he didn't have work, he'd go for auditions on his own with a single backpack.
"No matter how bad the weather was, it'd never stop him...
"Do you think someone like this could become famous by just relying on his good looks?
"You were all born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Hence, you always think that other people have it just as easy...
"To be honest, how many people can achieve overnight success and fame in this world?
"Behind every successful person, there's blood and sweat that you would never see...
"Every glorious celebrity would've gone through a period of suffering.
"People like you can get whatever you want at the snap of a finger. That's why it's natural for you not to understand an ordinary person's life...
"In an ordinary person's world, nobody can achieve success without hard work. If someone like that existed, it'd only be because you haven't seen the work they'd put in..." Jenny said.
The more Jenny said, the angrier she became. Her facial expression also became increasingly serious.
Her idol worked so hard. How did other people end up seeing him as having achieved success by relying on his good looks?
Jenny frequently saw comments like this on the internet.
Clearly, this was a bias.
Many people were like this. Although they didn't understand someone, they'd always like to formulate guesses and impose them on that person.
Moreover, they'd think they were right.
Sensing that Jenny was distraught, the three people instantly didn't dare to make a peep.
They really didn't think that Jenny would become angry because of this matter.
Wasn't Blakely just an actor?
What was the big deal?
Chapter 1517
Chapter 1517
"Alright, alright... We understand... Jenny, we were wrong..." David Harper, who had been silent all this while, started speaking.
Seeing that they were all silent and seemingly aware of their fault, Jenny Armstrong felt extremely satisfied.
However, she still couldn't resist speaking further. "Fans like us started liking him because of his looks, but we are loyal to him because of his personality... If he only looked good but had a poor personality, we couldn't possibly like him for so long..."
With that, Jenny walked back to Henry Armstrong.
Many people felt confused about Jenny's behavior.
However, Henry, Georgie Clementine, Rachel Wood, and Sebastian Brenand understood her perfectly well.
After Jenny sat down, the ambiance very soon returned to normal.
Blakely Shelton stood silently outside the door as he peeked through the gap in the door....
The young man fixed his crystal-clear gaze on Jenny, who was diagonal across from him.
Approximately a few seconds later, Blakely started smiling.
Soon, he stopped doing so and lowered his head before turning around to leave...
Meanwhile, Jenny was completely unaware of this inside the room.
The gathering lasted until midnight before coming to an end.
After it ended, Catherine and Jenny held each other's hand. Then, they went to a nearby, high-class hotel and booked a room to stay together...
The two of them hadn't spent time together for a long while. Hence, they decided to stay in a room together to share secrets with one another.
***
Time passed by very quickly...
Soon, a month had passed.
It was beginning to feel more like autumn. The temperature in Atlantis had dropped even further than before. However, it was a much more comfortable temperature. This was the day Stanley Batton would be discharged from the hospital.
Sharon Lindt, Wilson Batton, Josh Batton, and Catherine arrived at Stanley's ward early in the morning.
After arriving, they chatted with Xyla Quest and Stanley for a while. Sharon then went to deal with the paperwork for the discharge.
Once that was done, Xyla and Stanley left the hospital with the Batton family and up to a hundred bodyguards in a grand fashion.
Stanley walked in the front. Having recovered, his usual stern presence and glow were now back.
Stanley wore a wrinkle-free, white shirt coupled with a pair of black trousers and black leather shoes. He was spotlessly noble.
Meanwhile, because Xyla was in a good mood, she also purposefully dressed up. She had an intricate, peach-colored make-up on her face.
Xyla wore a large, red ballet dress. The hem of the dress reached her kneecaps, exposing her thin and fair calves.
Josh, who was next to them, also had his stage makeup done because he needed to participate in a variety show at a television recording studio later...
His hair was parted in a clean three-to-seven ratio, and his bangs were slightly curled.
There were some concealed silver highlights in his hair and a thin layer of hair wax.
He had an intricate, slightly smokey make-up on his face.
Josh wore a white t-shirt and a light-pink jacket with a pair of light blue jeans and white sneakers.
At one glance, he appeared clean, gentle, and a little cool.
As a group, they already had attractive looks.
On top of that, they were surrounded by countless bodyguards. Wherever they went, people would look at them.
Although Stanley was allowed to leave the hospital on Monday, Xyla insisted that he stayed until his body truly recovered. Hence, it dragged on for an entire month.
Meanwhile, Stanley didn't dare to express his opinion throughout the process.
Due to the crowd, the Batton family and some of the bodyguards took the elevator.
Chapter 1518
Chapter 1518
Meanwhile, the others took the stairs.
Although this was the case, when Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton's entourage arrived at the underground parking lot, those who took the stairs were already there...
The Batton family arranged for a black Rolls-Royce limousine to pick them up.
Meanwhile, the security guards drove Mercedes-Benz Cayenne cars.
After the Batton family all got into the car, the bodyguards gradually got into the Mercedes-Benz Cayenne cars nearby...
After that, Rolls-Royce started moving first.
Meanwhile, the Mercedes-Benz Cayenne cars followed the Rolls-Royce in a low-key manner.
The eye-catching group of luxury cars once again attracted attention on the road.
In fact, some pedestrians constantly recorded videos of their cars.
Inside the car, Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton sat in the last row.
Josh Batton, Sharon Lindt, Wilson Batton, and Catherine Batton sat in front of them...
As soon as they got into the car, Sharon immediately looked at Josh next to her. "Where are you going for work later?"
"Atlantis TV..." Josh answered softly.
Sharon immediately turned to look at the young driver. "Aiden, send Josh to Atlantis TV..."
"Haven't I told you several times already? You really have a great memory..." Josh couldn't resist teasing her.
"It's not like you don't know that I have a poor memory..." Sharon directly said.
After that, Sharon looked at Xyla. "Xyla, you said you wanted to go shopping later, didn't you? So I'll go with you after we send Josh to work..."
"You said you wanted to buy baby clothes three days ago, didn't you? So I went to browse at several major shopping malls today. The clothes in Goldfield Plaza are the best. Let's go there later..." Sharon added.
"Hmm, okay." Xyla chuckled.
When Josh heard this, he couldn't resist shaking his head and sighing. "Don't you have a poor memory?"
"Haha... Josh, I think it's not that Mom has a poor memory. It's just a case of double standards. Poor you..." Catherine chuckled and started joking around.
Hearing this, Xyla immediately smiled helplessly. "Mom just happened to forget about Josh's work. She cares about you guys just as much."
"Give it up... Who doesn't know that Mom only loves you in the family right now? But we don't mind," Catherine immediately said.
"That's because it's our duty to look after whoever becomes part of the family. Isn't that right, Josh?" Catherine said before turning to look at Josh, who was next to her. Josh smiled. "Yeah, you're right..."
At this moment, Xyla felt a sense of warmth spread in her heart...
"Stanley, I can finally relax now that you've fully recovered. I'll be going back to study this afternoon..." Catherine said.
Xyla felt a little reluctant when she heard this. "Are you heading back this afternoon?"
"It's about time. She's missed so many classes already..." Sharon said.
Xyla nodded gently as she looked at Catherine. "In that case, have a safe trip. I'll send you off when you leave," she said. Catherine nodded joyfully.
Stanley affectionately ruffled Catherine's hair. "Kiddo, take care of yourself on your own out there."
The way Stanley looked at Catherine was as if he was looking at his daughter.
Catherine's smile gradually widened. "Don't worry. I will..."
Beep, beep, beep-
Right then, Xyla's phone started ringing.
On her phone, there was a notification that Team XS just defeated LCK Region's Number Two Seed, successfully winning the semi-finals and entering the finals.
This also meant that Team XS hadn't lost a single match in Season 10's world championship.
Apart from Team XS, only one team remained in this year's world championship...
That was LCK Region's Number One Seed, Team GRT.
This team would be going against Team XS in the final stage.
Chapter 1519
Chapter 1519
This team never performed well in the world championship in the past...
However, it performed surprisingly well this year due to changes in its team members.
Up until now, this team had not lost a single match.
Team XS still hadn't competed against this team yet.
Purely based on how both teams performed in matches, Xyla Quest felt that Team GRT and Team XS were equally good.
It was still uncertain as to which team would have the last laugh.
Although Xyla wasn't by the team members' side this time, she could easily guess how much pressure they faced.
Xyla opened Team XS's WeChat group chat and sent them a message. "Congratulations, you guys! Just do your best and don't give yourself too much pressure... It'll be great if you win the champion title. It's fine you don't either..."
"Being the first-runner up is amazing too... Just do your best during the finals..." Xyla added.
Although Xyla also wanted Team XS to win this year's Season 10 world championship, she didn't want to put too much pressure on the team members.
The greater the pressure, the worse they'd perform during the match.
Right then, everyone in the team started replying-
Each of them expressed how they wanted to win the champion title.
Every single one of them seemed pumped up. In fact, they even comforted Xyla by telling her not to worry.
Seeing that everyone was in a good mental state, Xyla smiled without any worries in her heart.
In the end, after sending cash bonuses to the group, Xyla switched off her phone.
Xyla looked up and fixed her gaze upon Stanley Batton's face. "Team XS got into the finals. They'll be able to win this year's Season 10 world championship as long as they beat Team GRT..." "That's amazing..." A look of approval appeared in Stanley's eyes.
When Josh heard this, he immediately looked at Xyla's face. "If that's the case, I must buy a ticket and support them in person... Where will the finals be held this year?"
Since it was his sister-in-law's team, he had to support them...
Xyla chuckled. "It's in Atlantis..."
"That's great... It'll be convenient for me to go," Josh said.
"Alright. I'll give you a ticket..." Xyla said.
"Ask the officials to give me a nice seat. I'll be able to see more clearly that way..." Josh added.
"Okay." Xyla snapped her fingers decisively.
"Honey, will you be going?" Xyla asked.
"I'll go if you go..." Stanley said.
"In that case, I'm going..." Xyla said.
"Then, I'll go too..." Stanley's smile gradually widened. His eyes were full of affection.
"There will be too many people during the live match. Xyla, are you sure you want to go?" Sharon Lindt had a concerned look in her eyes. Xyla nodded.
"In that case, get your father and me two tickets. We will go to... We want to watch over you by your side..." Sharon added.
Sharon was personally interested in League of Legends...
She was a long-time player of League of Legends.
On top of that, she really couldn't rest easy letting Xyla, a pregnant woman, observe a match with so many people around her. Hence, Sharon needed to tag along.
"Alright, alright..." Xyla replied softly. Her tone was very affectionate.
Beep, beep, beep-
Right then, Xyla's phone started ringing again.
Chapter 1520
Chapter 1520
It was a WeChat message from Alex...
The young man sent a very simple message. "Boss, will you be there during the finals?"
"Yeah." Xyla Quest smiled.
"Okay." Alex replied.
After the one-worded reply, Alex was silent...
Xyla also became silent.
After exiting WeChat, Xyla opened TikTok. She decided to scroll through Tik Tok for a while...
"What time does Season 10's world championship begin?" Stanley Batton asked while affectionately wrapping his arm around her shoulder.
"It starts at seven o'clock in the evening next Saturday," Xyla replied.
"Alright," Stanley said softly.
Xyla didn't speak any further. Instead, she silently looked at TikTok's feed...
As soon as she opened TikTok, the first video she saw was a black Rolls-Royce limousine driving down the road with over a dozen Mercedes-Benz Cayenne cars behind it...
Those Mercedes-Benz cars looked like theirs, as did the Rolls-Royce limousine.
"Poverty has resulted in my limited imagination. Based on what I heard, the Mercedes-Benz cars in the back are full of bodyguards. They are all protecting the people in the Rolls-Royce at the front... Do you people have anything to say about this?" There was a caption attached to the video.
With a filter on, the Atlantis sky seemed unusually blue in the video.
Meanwhile, those luxury cars also appeared unusually high-class.
Currently, there were up to a million likes and comments on the video.
Out of curiosity, Xyla tapped on the comment section.
People were saying all sorts of things in the comment section-
"Are you serious? D*mn. Being rich really does mean one can do anything..."
"Isn't it better to donate if one is rich? Rich people are truly unkind."
"Whoever criticized someone else for being rich and not donating, how much have you donated?"
"I'm curious who the people in the car are... Protected by over a dozen Mercedes-Benz Cayenne cars. Sob-sob. I'm jealous."
"The location marked is in Atlantis. A good friend of mine saw this footage. He said this is real. According to him, the people in the car are from the Batton family."
"The Batton family? D*mn... In that case, there isn't an issue... Apart from saying that the Batton family is awesome, what else can I say?"
"Is it the Batton family that Xyla married into? Woah... Indeed, the Batton family is epic... Can I know if Josh Batton wants to get married? I want to marry into the Batton family..."
After calmly reading through the comment section, Xyla closed it. After that, she continued scrolling through other videos.
Xyla watched three videos in succession. Out of these videos, two of them were footage of her family's entourage of luxury cars that she had seen before.
The entire Tik Tok seemed to be abuzz.
The more Xyla scrolled, the more of this she saw. In the end, Xyla felt bored. She tapped on the button that indicated her disinterest, and she no longer allowed TikTok to send her push notifications related to this.
Finally, her world became clear again...
The things Xyla saw started becoming related to beauty, cosmetics, travel, and the likes.
After approximately half an hour, the entourage of luxury cars arrived in front of Atlantis TV's entrance.
Josh Batton's fans gathered in front of the tall skyscraper that belonged to the television company.
With instructions from major fan groups, these fans stood orderly in two rows in front of the television company's main entrance, giving sufficient space for people to walk in and out of the building. Cordons were enacted, and the television company's security staff were also there to maintain order.
The fans in the front row were all Josh's biggest fans. Each of them held an SLR camera, and each wanted to take photos of their beloved idol in his best-looking moment to post on Weibo... When the fans saw the entourage of luxury cars arriving, they all shifted their attention to the cars...
Suddenly, each of them started whispering among themselves.
