Chapter 1681
However, there were already more than three million shares, likes, and comments below it.
Josh Batton was forever receiving the greatest amount of attention-
"I feel bad for those two who couldn't recognize Josh. If I were them, I would've knocked my head against a wall."
"Josh is really handsome. He still looks good despite having his photo taken by a random person on the street..."
"He's still so striking without any makeup on and without being photoshopped. Josh, I'm sure nobody would disagree if I said you are the most handsome person in the entertainment industry."
"Ahh... He's every woman's dream. I want to be in Annabeth's place. D*mn... Annabeth, I'm very jealous of you. Give Josh back to me..."
"I really hope Josh will have a daughter with Annabeth. I heard that daughters tend to take after their father. If that's true, we'd have another beauty in the world."
The fans' words were all laden with a passionate love for Josh and jealousy toward Annabeth Cates.
Although there were occasionally some negative comments that made Annabeth feel bad, she found them acceptable overall.
As she was focused on reading the comments, she stayed standing at the entrance after changing into her slippers.
Josh saw that she was completely immersed in it and didn't disturb her. However, he stood silently behind her and looked at the content on her phone. There was a gentleness in his eyes.
"Are you done?" Seeing that Annabeth was no longer scrolling, Josh slowly reached for her phone and locked the screen.
Only then did Annabeth come back to her senses and nod. "Yeah. Shall we take a shower and sleep?"
"Sure..." Josh nodded.
"You can go ahead... I'll go later... I'll be waiting for you in the room," Annabeth said.
"Let's go together..." Josh said.
With that, Josh naturally extended his arm and carried Annabeth into the bathroom.
The bathroom in Annabeth's house was tiny.
It was only one-tenth the size of the bathroom in Josh's place.
Even so, Josh had no qualms with it. On the contrary, he thought it wasn't too bad.
Although the house was a little crowded, it felt warm and welcoming.
During the shower, Annabeth was too embarrassed to open her eyes...
Although she and Josh had already done the deed, this was the first time
Took a shower together,
Sw
naked...
Eventually she slowly opened her eyes. Josh's firm chest, sexy abs and lean waist came into view. All of
it was enough to make her blush
and her heart race.
Annabeth was able to see the wonderful parts of him that other people couldn't see...
Josh had a very good body. It was the ideal type for women.
From her memory, Josh revealing little bit of his abs during concerts
Senough to make his fans el
was
in ecstasy...
Annabeth subconsciously blushed when she saw his perfection.
She couldn't help but start wondering what she had ever done to deserve Josh.
Chapter 1682 Chapter 1682 Whenever Annabeth Cates looked at Josh Batton, she'd feel like she was the luckiest woman in the world.
That was because she was with the man that many women desired.
"What are you thinking?" Josh felt very much at ease.
"Nothing... I just feel that I'm fortunate," Annabeth replied.
"Silly girl... Let's get cleaned up for bed," Josh said.
After the shower, Josh personally carried Annabeth into the bedroom.
The way he carried her like a gentleman made her feel moved again.
Although Josh pampered her, it wasn't love.
After returning to the bedroom, Josh switched off the lights.
After that, he placed her on the bed with the help of the streetlight outside the window.
After that, he naturally walked over to the window and closed the curtains.
Suddenly, the entire world became dark.
In the next second, Josh found his way to the bed and lay down next to Annabeth, He then naturally held her in his arms.
Living with Annabeth was much more comfortable than he had imagined.
Although he didn't love her, she was gentle and heart-warming. Hence, he felt very much at ease.
On many occasions, looking at her would make him feel protective without realizing it.
She was too good.
Even if Josh didn't love her, he would still willingly give her everything she wanted.
In the past, Josh felt that being with someone he didn't love was a challenging thing to do.
But now, it seemed that it wasn't as hard as he imagined.
Perhaps, he really could forget about his love for Xyla Quest soon.
He would fall for the woman next to him little by little.
To be honest, days like this weren't so bad. But, things would surely get better after the child was born.
When Josh thought of this, he naturally placed his hand on Annabeth's lower abdomen.
The moment Josh's warm hand touched Annabeth's lower abdomen, Annabeth's heart rose to her throat.
It felt as if Josh's hand carried electricity: In only a single Annabeth's entire body umb.
t belongs to set Soon, her breathing became as uneven as her heartbeat.
Sensing her nervousness, Josh smiled a little in the dark.
"Why are you nervous? I won't do anything to you..." Josh said.
"Who's nervous?" Annabeth murmured softly with her face turning red.
Soon, she could hear him chuckling...
"Annabeth... Do you think it's a boy or a girl?" Josh asked.
"Do you mind whichever it is?" Annabeth asked.
"Not at minds.
where Nobody in my family only curious... About swnow.net whether it's a boy or a girl," Josh said.
When Josh thought about how an a's stomach, he felt a adorable life was growing in if his heart melted.
This was a mysterious feeling.
Although Josh had not met the child, he was already beginning to miss the child...
In fact, he was already thinking about giving the child all the best the world had to offer.
"I'm curious too. Shall we get it checked after some time?" Annabeth asked.
Chapter 1683
Chapter 1683
However, Josh Batton shook his head. "We won't. It doesn't matter if it's a boy or a girl... We'll find out once it's born, right?"
"Yeah, that makes sense... What do you think we should name our daughter or son?" Annabeth Cates asked.
"What do you think?" Josh asked.
"If it's a girl, we'll name her Cecelia, just like a heavenly lily. If it's a boy, we'll name him Dawn, in hopes that he stays forever bright like the morning sun, bringing everyone endless warmth and hope..." Annabeth said.
"Okay... As you wish," Josh said with a nod.
"Do you like the names?" Annabeth asked.
"Yeah. I like any name you come up with..." Josh said.
Annabeth smiled happily in the dark.
After that, she subconsciously placed her hand over her lower abdomen.
Right then, Josh's hand happened to be on her lower abdomen too.
When she put her hand there, it happened to rest right on top of Josh's hand.
Josh naturally held her hand.
These days, Josh's heart had not stopped being restless with Annabeth close in his arms.
Ever since the first night they spent together, Josh felt that there had been a clear change in himself...
Annabeth had no idea that Josh would run to the bathroom each night after she fell asleep.
Although Josh was able to abstain from sex in the past, he couldn't anymore.
However, considering Annabeth's current situation, he still tried to hold back.
***
The following day, Cindy Schumer compiled all the voice recordingszof her husband committing domestic violence and threatening her over the past years before sending them to Josh's inbox...
After acquiring them, Josh personally handed them over to
Annabeth. They then headed to.net
home of the most senior chief in Belleville to give him the evidence.
The chief gave an order to his subordinates in front of Josh and Annabeth after obtaining the evidence...
He said that Annabeth's cousin-in-law was to be punished severely.
The culprit would have to be sentenced to a lifetime in prison, and there wouldn't be any shortened sentence.
Once the orders were given, the chief promised Josh and Annabeth that he would punish Annabeth's cousin-in-law.
Annabeth and Josh departed from
the chief's home after they had sorted everything out. They then went over to the municipal hospital and brought the good news to Cindy and Bobby Cates.
After sharing the good news with them, Josh and Annabeth were on their way home to Atlantis.
As they didn't have their helicopter with them, the two of them chose to take the car Wilson Batton and Sharon Lindt had prepared for them.
By the time the entourage arrived in Atlantis, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
The two of them returned home once they arrived in Atlantis.
Everything, including their wedding and the incident with Annabeth's cousin, had been sorted out.
Annabeth felt extremely at ease.
Due to her good mood, her entire being seemed to be glowing.
Since Josh still had an event to attend at night, he quickly took a shower after getting home. He then got changed and left the house. Meanwhile, Annabeth stayed at home alone to watch television shows and scroll through Weibo.
Being on her own felt peaceful and quiet.
Usually, her days were hectic. Now that she suddenly had the time to quiet down and rest, she felt extremely comfortable.
Meanwhile, in Quest Group's conference room, Xyla Quest was in a completely different state from Annabeth..
Chapter 1684 Chapter 1684 Right then, Xyla Quest had a stern expression on her face. She sat on the main seat at the U-shaped conference table while listening to reports from each department head on their respective department's recent performance.
Each department seemed to have done very well.
After listening to their reports, Xyla snapped her fingers satisfactorily. "Okay. If there's nothing else, let's call it a day..."
After that, Xyla stood up and left the conference room.
As soon as she walked out, Georgie Clementine called her on the phone.
Xyla instantly answered the call.
"Xyla, the female celebrity who recently got popular because of a school-based web drama series, Jane Fey, told me she wanted to cancel her contract a while ago. As it was a one-sided termination on her part, I said she had to pay us ten times the amount based on the contract. She doesn't seem very happy with it, and she said she would expose us on Weibo..." Georgie said.
Xyla shrugged nonchalantly as she continued walking. "Let her do what she wants. We'll catch the ball with both hands," she said.
Xyla and Georgie had discovered Jane Fey together from an art school.
Ever since Jane came to the company, the company had never done anything wrong to her. On the contrary, she was offered all the resources she needed. Since Jane wanted to terminate the contract on her own, she naturally had to bear the consequences.
Jane was the one in the wrong.
"Okay..." Georgie said.
"Is there anything else?" Xyla asked.
"No," Georgie replied.
Xyla then hung up the phone before entering her office.
Xyla had been in a very good mood lately. Her days had been filled with happiness. For this very reason, there was a look of confidence and joy in her eyes.
Her career had been cruising along without any hiccups.
A while ago, the antique company she invested in successfully began its operation after a long haul of preparatory work. Now, things were starting to move in the right direction. The jade mining in Blue Mountain City had also been fruitful all this while.
Meanwhile, X Entertainment and Quest Group were also making steady progress.
With everything going smoothly and her relationship being stable and Xyla had no reason feel t and happy. Contex det Precisely because she had enough reason to be happy, she became even more bright and gentle.
Apart from keeping herself busy with making money, Xyla had also been doing a lot of charity.
She helped many people who needed it...
After returning to her office, Xyla slowly sat on her chair made from genuine leather.
She then began going through the documents on her desk.
By the time she was done with everything, it was already seven o'clock in the evening...
Since she wasn't hungry yet, and sn't any work left to do, she there stretched Legends to play a of and openech tent After logging into one of her side accounts in League of Legends, she quickly glanced at her friend dist.
All of Team XS's members were not online.
They had been on vacation after the world championship. Hence, they rarely went online.
Xyla decided to join a random match.
Soon, the game started matching her with teammates automatically...
Beep, beep, beep- Right then, Xyla's phone started ringing again.
Georgie was the one who called again.
Xyla immediately picked up. "What's the matter, Georgie?"
"Xyla... Guess what I just found out," Georgie said.
"What is it?" Xyla seemed curious.
"Do you still remember your ex-fiance, Tom Sullivan?" Georgie asked.
Tom Sullivan...
Chapter 1685 Chapter 1685 If Georgie Clementine hadn't mentioned this name, Xyla Quest would've forgotten all about it.
This name used to represent her entire world, but now it couldn't feel farther away.
Xyla genuinely hadn't heard about this person for a long time.
She also hadn't thought of him for the longest time.
Xyla figured this was probably the reason why she found it so distant.
"What is it? Of course, I remember him..." Xyla said.
"He was caught doing drugs with a few women in a hotel. One of the service crew reported him to the police.
"The police then went over...
"And immediately arrested him. Things blew up, and his father was made aware of it.
"His father was furious and decided to ignore Tom. Instead, he let the police arrest Tom. With Tom offering drugs to other people, on top of doing drugs himself, I'd guess he would be in prison for a few years at the very least..." Georgie couldn't hide the joy in her voice.
"I'm so glad that this jerk finally got what he deserved!" Georgie said.
Tom Sullivan had such a terrible character. Xyla wasn't at all surprised that he would end up like this.
Xyla shrugged nonchalantly. "How did you find out about this?" she asked.
"Henry told me. I swear it's true," Georgie said.
"That's great..." Xyla nodded gently.
She was glad that things ended this way for Tom.
Xyla always believed that people got what they deserved in the end.
She felt that it made sense.
"I'm truly glad that Tom didn't appreciate what he had. If he had continued to stay with you, you wouldn't have had a happy ending...
"Wouldn't you be upset if this had happened after the two of you got married?" Georgie added.
Georgie was angry when she talked about Tom.
Now that she saw Tom suffering, she couldn't be happier.
"Yeah..." Xyla chuckled.
"Alright... Let's not talk about that jerk anymore. Oh, yeah. There's another piece of good news I wanted to share with you..." ( said.
"What is it?" Xyla asked.
swnovel.net "Henry's mother just called him and said she officially agrees to us dating. Of that's the case, I'll have to learn to play nice with her..." Georgie sounded at ease.
Xyla's smile gradually widened when she heard this. "Congratulations..."
"Thank you... Oh, right. Have you eaten? If you haven't, shall we eat together?" Georgie asked. "Okay," Xyla said.
"I'll ask Henry to treat us to a nice meal," Georgie said.
"Sure," Xyla said.
"In that case, I'll decide on the place and send the location to you on WeChat," Georgie said.
"Okay, sure," Xyla said.
After briefly chatting with Georgie, Xyla hung up the phone. She then stood up and walked over to the huge French window.
The city beneath her seemed busy and brightly lit.
At one glance, every corner of the city seemed to give off a luxurious vibe.
Looking at the city gave Xyla mixed feelings.
Georgie's call reminded her of how she had caught Tom cheating with on her hef of mily. It also reminded they hurt her...
The two of them were truly heinous in the past.
On the cold, snowy night Xyla was abandoned, she thought that she would never make it.
However, she managed to survive after all.
Chapter 1686
Chapter 1686
To be honest, when Xyla Quest heard from Georgie Clementine about Tom Sullivan's downtrodden state, she wasn't as excited as Georgie on the inside.
In comparison, Xyla was much calmer.
It was probably because she already had her revenge against Tom previously.
Perhaps, it was also due to Emily Quest's death and all the bad things that happened to Tom and his family one after another. Xyla could already find it in her to let the past stay in the past. The Sullivan family no longer deserved her emotions in any way.
Xyla felt that life was quite miraculous.
Often, when one felt that obstacles were impossible to get past, one would look back after overcoming such obstacles and think it wasn't all that bad after all.
Most of the feelings of hatred that one used to think were impossible to let go of might fade away as time went on. The better one lived, the sooner it all went away.
In fact, one might even laugh about all the things that used to hurt oneself.
All wounds left scars behind.
In the end, those scars became one's shield that would make one impenetrable.
Despite how much Tom and Emily hurt Xyla in the past, they were now nothing but a speck of dust in her life.
They'd be blown away by a single gust of wind...
In fact, they didn't deserve to linger in Xyla's memories.
After silently watching the night scenery for a while, Xyla turned around and walked back to her desk. She then retrieved a makeup mirror from her drawer and placed it in front of her. Immediately after that, she put all her cosmetic products on the desk.
Once she was done reapplying her makeup, she put everything back into place.
Right then, her phone started ringing again.
Beep, beep, beep...
It was a WeChat text from Georgie.
Georgie had sent her the location where they would have dinner tonight.
It was a newly opened, high-class Japanese restaurant in the city center.
After marking the location, Xyla
grabbed her beige Hermes purse et
and took her personal elevatore downstairs along with ten bodyguards.
She had come to work with two hundred bodyguards.
The remaining 190 bodyguards took the other elevators to get downstairs in batches.
Xyla was wearing a light-colored working suit.
She had on an ocean-blue knitted shirt and a pair of beige, high-waisted trousers and ocean-blue, velvet heels.
With the matching beige purse, she looked like a noble fairy.
Approximately an hour later, Xyla arrived at the Japanese restaurant Georgie had chosen in her red Maserati, escorted by an entourage of luxury cars.
After stopping in front of the
Japaurant while protected by her
è restaurant, Xyla entere
the
bodyguards.
This restaurant had a traditional Japanese design.
There wasn't any novelty about it.
It had warm lighting. Although the entire space didn't seem fancy, it was relatively warm and welcoming.
There were many diners in the Japanese restaurant at this hour.
The huge formation instantly attracted a lot of attention.
Many people subconsciously looked at Xyla's face.
When they saw it was Xyla herself, they all gasped silently.
Be it, men or women, they were all stunned by Xyla's beauty.
As everyone watched, Xyla led the group of people to the second floor of the restaurant.
Henry had booked the entire floor.
There weren't any other people on the second floor.
Xyla soon arrived in front of the room that Georgie had mentioned.

Chapter 1687
Chapter 1687
Xyla Quest knocked on the door.
"Come in..." Georgie Clementine said.
Xyla quickly opened the door.
There was a low, long table with many luxurious cushions around it.
Right then, Georgie was the only person inside. She was looking down at her phone.
Xyla removed her shoes and walked over to Georgie before sitting down next to her. She then glanced at Georgie's phone. "What are you reading?" Xyla asked.
Georgie put her phone on the table and pushed it over to Xyla.
It was a news article from Weibo.
The title of the news article was 'Wannabe Women of Atlantis'.
Immediately after that, the content of the article came into view.
It clearly stated how groups of such women existed in Atlantis.
All the women in these groups were young, superficial, and money-minded.
They worked to get closer to people in high society, and they all presented themselves as classy folks.
As they couldn't afford the expensive lifestyle of upper-class folks, they came up with the idea of renting stuff.
Since the cost of renting was relatively high, they created groups like this that existed for everyone to rent various luxury goods, hotels, and cars...
Groups of ten would rent a purse together, groups of twenty would rent a high-class hotel room in the city center of Atlantis, and groups of thirty would rent a luxury car, and so on...
They would then post pictures on social media to create a fake image of themselves being well off to attract potential rich dates on the internet.
Xyla was no longer surprised by such things.
Since she grew up in a wealthy circle, she'd seen many things like this.
Not only women did these things, but men did it too....
There were chat records of various groups like this under the Weibo post.
They were bidding for everything, including socks.
Apart from bidding for stuff, they also discussed men in the groups.
They said how they looked down on men who drove BMW.
They also claimed that only men who
Bentley, Bugatti,
deserved to be with
n with et
This news article went viral. There were over a million shares, likes, and comments.
Beneath the article, there were all sorts of vulgar words to criticize these women.
Xyla then tapped on the list of hot topics.
As expected, this news article had made it onto the list.
"It's been kept a secret for the longest time. But, now, it's all out under the sun... I heard that a netizen entered the group as a spy and posted screenshots of their conversations..." Georgie said.
"Oh... I see." Xyla nodded. She still wasn't too surprised.
"These girls are so young. Why can't they do something else that's
decent?" Georgie shook her heel.net
helplessly.
"Some people will go to any lengths for money," Xyla said blandly.
To people like Xyla, these chat records are practically a joke...
"Exactly..." Georgie shook her head helplessly again.
Right then, somebody pushed the door open from the outside...
Xyla and Georgie turned to look in the door's direction simultaneously.
However, it wasn't Henry Armstrong standing at the door...
Chapter 1688 Chapter 1688 Instead, they were Josh Batton and Annabeth Cates...
Xyla Quest immediately smiled when she saw them. "Why are you two here?"
Georgie Clementiwne hadn't told Xyla in advance that the two were coming.
Xyla felt somewhat pleasantly surprised.
Annabeth wore a white dress. She had light makeup on and also wore contact lenses and silver high heels. She looked innocent and adorable.
On the other hand, Josh wore a casual white shirt and long, beige pants, as well as a pair of white sneakers. He seemed neat and handsome.
Although Annabeth was not as good-looking as Josh, the two of them looked comfortable next to each other.
Xyla never noticed this before, but the two of them looked good as a couple.
"Henry asked us to come..." Josh smiled a little before holding Annabeth's hand. They walked over to Xyla and Georgie before sitting down across from them. Xyla and Georgie used to be Annabeth's superior at work. Although they were on the same level now, Annabeth still felt nervous and restrained when she saw them. As soon as Annabeth sat down, she started pouring tea for the two of them.
When Xyla saw this, she immediately picked up her teacup and smiled. "It's fine. I can do it myself..."
Annabeth insisted on pouring tea for Xyla and Georgie.
Neither of them could stop her.
After that, Annabeth poured herself and Josh a cup of tea each.
When Annabeth looked up at how beautiful Xyla seemed, she thought of herself and began to feel self-conscious again.
She felt even more self-conscious when she thought about how Josh felt toward Xyla.
Although Annabeth had met Xyla many times, she still felt in awe of Xyla's beauty.
Before Annabeth met Xyla, she didn't know a woman could look this beautiful.
Annabeth thought that Josh must have felt the same way.
When she thought of this, she felt jealous.
"Annabeth was the traffic terrible on your way here?" Xyla asked s she sipped her tea. She was as ing to strike a conversation with Annabeth.
Annabeth nodded. "A little bit," she said.
"How has being pregnant been for you? Do you feel tired or nauseous regularly?" Xyla asked.
"In the beginning, I did feel nauseous, but it's gone away now.
However, I do still get tired velet "Annabeth answered truthfully.
"I see... You should rest more then," Xyla said.
Xyla then looked at Josh. "Being pregnant isn't easy. You must take good care of her. Do you hear me?"
Josh nodded obediently. "Yes, I've got it..."
"Annabeth go to his mother if he's ice to you... She'll r ever up Xyla joked.
Or you could c "Okay." Annabeth nodded.
Annabeth liked Xyla for how approachable she was.
The more Annabeth interacted with Xyla, the more she understood why Josh would be so obsessed with her.
Even Annabeth, a woman herself, would fall for a lady like Xyla, let alone a man.
While they were speaking, Henry walked into the room.
As soon as he entered, he walked over to Georgie and pulled her into his arms.
Seeing how they were all coupled up made Xyla feel like a third wheel.
At this moment, she missed Stanley Batton even more.
"Hey, Xyla..." Henry said.
"Hey... Why do I feel like I shouldn't have come today?" Xyla said jokingly after looking around.
"Why so? Do you feel like a third wheel? It's fine. We won't make you feel excluded..." Henry said. "That's great..." Xyla said.
"Do you know what I saw when I came in earlier?" Henry sounded a little disgusted.
"What?" Xyla asked.
Chapter 1689 Chapter 1689 "There were over fifty girls downstairs who ordered a single sashimi platter. They then took turns to take pictures...
"I bet they belong to one of those female groups on the hot topics. I can't believe they'd still come out and do this even after all that negative media. I'm speechless." When Henry Armstrong spoke about these women, he felt utterly disgusted.
Although he had met women like them in the past, he didn't think much of them.
To be honest, people like him knew their tricks.
They simply chose not to burst their bubble.
Men only cared about looks when they were in search of women to date.
Just like how women only cared about their money, they only cared about the women's faces.
"They've really gone mad..." Georgie Clementine rolled her eyes.
Beep, beep, beep- While they were speaking, Xyla Quest's phone started ringing.
It was Stanley Batton, and he wanted to video call her.
Xyla immediately answered the call and walked out of the room. She found a place with no bodyguards around and leaned against the wall next to a window. She then looked at the man on her phone screen. "Miss me?"
Stanley wore a white bathrobe. He seemed to be on the bed in a hotel room. The wall behind him had a luxurious, beige, flowery design.
"Yeah... Are you busy tomorrow?" Stanley asked.
"Why do you ask?" Xyla asked.
"I'll get someone to pick you up on a private jet. Will you come and accompany me for a day?" Stanley asked. There was a gentle look in his eyes. Although his phone was pointing upward, it still couldn't hide his good looks.
Xyla immediately felt warm in her heart when she heard this. "Is that necessary? Stanley... We've only been apart for how long again?"
"I thought it wasn't... So, are you coming or not?" Stanley asked.
His tone was still very gentle...
Stanley was completely unlike his usual self when he was working.
When Xyla heard this, she carefully pondered...
She could take a day off tomorrow...
That was because she didn't have anything important to deal with.
She only had one meeting at X Entertainment.
She could get Georgie to fill in for her after.
"Alright... I'll do it..." Xyla said.
"Great... Where are you now?" Stanley asked.
"I'm having dinner with Henry and the others at a new Japanese restaurant in the city center.
swnove.net said.
"Okay. Get home earlier after you eat, alright?" Stanley asked.
"Okay..." Xyla answered.
"Don't go and mess about with Henry," Stanley added.
I Za w... Wait a second.
Isn't it right y past midnight over thet Xyla asked.
belongs to en.swnovel Onet "Yeah. It's four in the morning," Stanley said.
"Why aren't you asleep yet? Or did you already wake up?" Xyla asked.
"I woke up early... I miss you, honey..." Stanley said.
"I miss you, too..." Xyla said without holding back.
To be honest, she really wanted to see Stanley too.
After the affectionately for a while, they net Of them talked reluctantly hung up. belongs Xyla then walked back into the room.
As soon as she entered, her phone started ringing again.
She was shocked by what she saw.
Xyla immediately scratched her head helplessly...
Chapter 1690 Chapter 1690 'Xyla Quest is the real deal...#'.
Xyla Quest didn't expect to see the Weibo news article.
She quickly tapped on it, confused.
Weibo News had broadcast a video.
The video was taken only a while ago.
In the video, Xyla was walking into the Japanese restaurant with her two hundred bodyguards.
Surrounded by a group of tall men dressed in the same black attire, Xyla appeared unusually eye-catching.
She looked as striking as a lone, bright rose in a large pile of green leaves.
The men behind her all seemed strong, and they seemed serious.
Meanwhile, Xyla had a gentle expression, and her body emanated a noble aura.
At one glance, she looked like a chic and elegant lady from the upper class.
The video was taken from a good angle, and it also came with very inspirational background music. It made Xyla appear formidable...
There was a caption above the video. "A netizen caught sight of Xyla out for a meal. She's the real deal, a true upper-class lady."
The video had only been published a while ago, but it already had over six-figure shares, likes, and comments- "Who's an upper-class lady? Xyla Quest certainly is, and she's the wealthiest of them all in Atlantis."
"After seeing Xyla, all the female protagonists in the novels I've read have faces now."
"Her entire being gives off the vibe that she's the noblest of all, and nobody is worthy of her."
"This is what a real upper-class lady looks like, not those wannabe ladies."
"Look at her. She's the real deal. Female CEOs in novels really do exist..."
"Apart from Stanley Batton, nobody else in the world deserves her."
"She's not someone those internet celebrities can compare to. Ahh... I'm a girl, but she's about to turn me gay."
"A real upper-class lady doesn't need to show off because she's grown up with those things. So she couldn't be bothered to show off. Have you ever seen Xyla showing off branded products on social media?
When Xyla saw these comments, she didn't feel anything.
She had long gotten used to being the center of attention and receiving tons of compliments from other people.
Before she became fat and ugly, she was the most beautiful woman in Atlantis.
Every day, she lived under the spotlight of other people's attention and compliments...
After turning from fat and ugly to the Stanley, the man who sele of the social pyramid.
at With his help, her life became even better.
All the glory and fame were directed at her alone.
Everyone praised her even more than before...
For this very reason, Xyla found what she saw slightly underwhelming.
She simply didn't expect someone would film her after those female groups were exposed. But, coincidentally, she was mentioned and received even more attention.
en.swhovels.net When Georgie turned around, she unintentionally caught sight of the content on Xyla's phone.
Georgie immediately smiled satisfactorily. "Aren't these people full of nonsense? How could they compare apples and oranges?"
Xyla smiled a little before locking her phone screen and didn't say anything further.
"What are you talking about?" Henry Armstrong asked curiously.
"Nothing... Someone brought Xyla up to trample all over those high society wannabes..." Georgie said.
"That's lame. It's an insult for Xyla to be mentioned next to those people." Henry also began complimenting Xyla.
"Save it..." Xyla said.
"I'm being honest," Henry said.
