Chapter 1701
It all felt new to Annabeth Cates.
"If you talk about the Cates family behind their backs again, I won't let you off the hook," Xyla Quest warned. Although her voice was soft, her tone was firm.
." The two women nodded respectfully but remained silent.
When Annabeth heard this, she could immediately guess why Xyla was upset.
Suddenly, she felt extremely grateful on the inside.
The better she got to know Xyla, the more she understood why Stanley Batton and Josh Batton were head over heels in love with her.
That was because Xyla wasn't only good-looking, but she was also an upright person.
Even Annabeth herself, despite being a woman, was soon falling for Xyla, let alone the two men.
Xyla was a good-looking, fit, upright, generous, intelligent, and well-educated lady from a wealthy family. Who wouldn't like her?
Xyla wasn't an ordinary girl like Annabeth could compare to.
When Xyla lifted her head, she saw Annabeth looking at her like a fangirl who was stunned in place.
Seeing this, Xyla's cold expression immediately faded away. She approached Annabeth with a smile and held her hand. "Annabeth, why aren't you dancing?"
"I'm tired... I saw that the tiramisu cake looked good. So I brought you and Stanley some..." Annabeth said.
Xyla carefully took the two plates from Annabeth when she heard this. "Thank you..."
"I should be the one thanking you. They were talking about my family behind my back, weren't they? Thank you for standing up on their behalf...
"I know my family members don't act like other people around here, but it's only because they haven't seen much of the world.
"That's why they find everything in a place like this new and exciting. They like all the food..." Annabeth explained earnestly.
"Nothing is embarrassing about it. Being curious about the world is a good thing..." Xyla said casually.
Xyla's extremely high emotional quotient and comforting words made Annabeth feel at ease.
"Let's go. We'll sit over there and chat..." Xyla nodded in the direction of the coffee table.
"Sure..." Annabeth was very glad.
After that, Xyla held the two plates of
tiramisu.
and led Annabeth over to the coffee table before
down. inver
Xyla put down the plates and looked around...
Right then, everyone seemed occupied. Some danced, while others chatted and drank.
The place was lively.
The dazzling lights made one feel a little dizzy.
"Ms. Quest... No, I mean Xyla. You're
such a nice person..." Annabeth
swno.ne
wasn't hiding the fact that she liked Xyla.
"You're a very nice person too. I like you a lot." Xyla chuckled before holding Annabeth's hand.
By the time the ball ended, it was already late at night...
After sending their guests off, Annabeth got into the private helicopter the Batton family had arranged for her and Josh. They wayed at the crowd and departed
for their honeymoon.
Meanwhile, Xyla and Stanley took a private car to the international airport.
They then took a private jet back to Atlantis.
When everyone arrived at Atlantis, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.
The weather was warm despite it being winter, and indeed it was unusually good weather.
As soon as the couple got out of the jet, they were stunned by what they saw... Suddenly, everyone subconsciously looked at the center of the airport lobby...
Chapter 1702
Chapter 1702
Somehow, reporters got hold of information that they would arrive at Atlantis International Airport at this hour...
Right then, the airport lobby was full of reporters with cameras.
There were up to a few hundred of them at one glance...
Seeing this, the bodyguards who came with them and the airport security quickly stepped forward and formed a circle around them.
After that, they were escorted forward...
Reporters came after them like sharks that detected blood in the ocean, forming a massive crowd around them.
At that moment, everyone in the airport had their eyes on them.
Soon, the sound of cameras clicking drowned out everything else...
Immediately after that, many reporters fought to push their microphones toward Xyla Quest and the rest.
"Did you guys return directly after the wedding? Aren't you going to spend time with Josh and Annabeth?"
"Where are Josh and Annabeth? Have they gone on a honeymoon? Where are they going?"
"Mr. Batton, Mrs. Batton, what do you think about Josh getting married?"
"Xyla, as far as I know, you've not had a wedding with Stanley, have you? After seeing their wedding, don't you feel like having a luxurious one of your own?"
"I have a question for Annabeth's family. Are you satisfied with the wedding?"
"I also want to ask how you feel about Annabeth being married into the Batton family."
The reporters' questions came one after another, almost like waves of tsunami...
Suddenly, they were all drowned in a sea of questions.
All sorts of questions were directed at them. Suddenly, they didn't know which ones to answer first...
Having gotten used to situations like this, Xyla and the Batton family were still very calm.
However, Annabeth's family members weren't...
They seemed very out of place in front of the cameras.
"Also, I'd like to ask Josh's parents some
questions. Why did you tweet
choose Annabeth? Are you happy her as your daughter-in-law?"
As everyone watched, Sharon slowly grabbed one of the reporters' microphones and smiled. "Are you asking me if I'm happy with my daughter-in-law? Of course, I am. If I weren't, why would I offer tenmillion dollars in dowry?"
After that, Sharon handed the microphone over to Xyla...
Stanley grabbed the microphone and held it in front of Xyla. He silently looked at Xyla as he acted as her protector.
There was a gentle and loving look in his eyes.
Everything about him oozed feelings of love and affection.
This scene won the hearts of many who were present.
Despite the crowded airport, Xyla and Stanley were still like the two brightest stars in the world.
Wherever they went, everyone else paled in comparison.
"Josh and Annabeth have indeed gone on a honeymoon. However, we can't tell you where they've gone to...
"I hope none of you will try to find this out. Give them some personal space. Let them enjoy their honeymoon in peace.
"Seeing their grand wedding certainly made me feel envious. I bet there isn't a woman in the world who doesn't feel envious.
"My husband and I have already
made plans. We'll be having our
wedding next year during fall. It'll be a dream come true for the two of us... Xyla answered in a primand proper manner. She left nothing out.
Chapter 1703
Chapter 1703
Regardless of how many people were around Xyla Quest, she remained elegant...
Something about the calmness in her eyes made it apparent she was used to major scenes like this.
After finishing what she wanted to say, Xyla handed the microphone over to Bobby Cates...
Bobby grabbed the microphone and looked cautiously at the reporters. "Our family is delighted about this wedding... Annabeth is lucky to marry into the Batton family. So we're all happy for her." After that, Bobby frantically passed the microphone back to Stanley.
"Xyla... We just found out that your ex, Tom Sullivan, had been sentenced to five years in prison for taking drugs and offering them to others. He's currently in a rehab center in Atlantis for his treatment. However, once his treatment is done, he'll be sent to prison. Do you have anything to say to this?" a female reporter asked Xyla...
However, Xyla smiled slightly and looked at her. "I have nothing to say. Everyone needs to be responsible for their actions. Once a mistake is made, one will have to pay for it..."
Xyla was straightforward with her answer.
In fact, there wasn't any emotion on her face.
It was almost as if Tom was a stranger who simply crossed her path at one point.
At the same time, in a tiny room at a rehab center in Atlantis, Tom, whose head was shaved, curled up in pain in the corner. He hyperventilated as he watched Xyla's interview on the television. With his withdrawal symptoms kicking in, he felt extremely awful.
It felt as if ants were biting him from within his bones.
He ached and itched.
The intense discomfort made his entire body tremble.
The torture of abstaining from drugs had made him thin as a stick.
Due to poor sleeping habits and a lack of appetite, Tom's face was drained of color...
There were dark shadows beneath his eyes.
His cheeks had also collapsed inward.
Soon, his snot began to drip from his nose.
He frantically wiped it away with his sleeve while shivering the entire time.
The sensation of being bitten by tens of thousands of ants was nearly giving him a breakdown.
Seeing how nonchalant Xyla seemed when she talked about him made him hurt on the inside...
He couldn't help but ask himself.
How did he end up walking down this path?
In the past, he and Xyla were the golden couple.
But now?
Xyla was still the white swan high up

In fact, she had become

What about Tom?
He was so downtrodden that he could only watch Xyla through the screen in prison...

As time went on, and with Tom spending many sleepless nights in this place alone, he had thought
about a lot of things. Conten
The best girl he'd met in his life was Xyla...
But he had lost her.
Tom thought that perhaps this was karma.
He had learned from his mistakes now.
However, it was too late.
Chapter 1704 Chapter 1704 After they went separate ways, Tom Sullivan regretted it...
He couldn't forget Xyla Quest.
However, she didn't care about him anymore.
In fact, she was getting better day by day.
She had gotten so good that Tom could never even hope to get her back. In the past, they could be seen as equals. However, Tom now needed to look up at her. There was nothing more painful than this.
The sensation of being bitten by tens of thousands of ants intensified.
Tom could feel every hair on his body standing.
He felt like he couldn't take it anymore.
He fell weakly to the ground and started foaming at the mouth.
Tom genuinely regretted ever touching drugs.
These things ruined lives.
It didn't matter who one was. As long as one touched drugs, one would be trapped in the literal hell and never escape.
When Tom finally broke down, he bit his tongue.
However, no matter how hard he bit on it, it still couldn't relieve him of the pain in his body.
After repeatedly trying, he finally bit his tongue off.
Blood wouldn't stop flowing...
However, he couldn't sense the pain at all. He was already suffering from a seizure.
***
Meanwhile, after Xyla and the others were interviewed, they started leaving the airport...
Xyla and Stanley Batton walked the fastest in the group.
As the golden couple, their good looks were off the charts.
Even without doing anything but simply walking, people would think they were watching a couple in an idol drama.
People in the airport couldn't help but gasp in surprise- "Oh my god! Such a divine couple..."
"Everyone in the Batton family looks good..."
"Look at Xyla's skin. It's so delicate and smooth. It looks like peeled lychee. How does she get skin like that?"
"Isn't that true for Stanley too? Ahh... I want to know what it feels like to sleep with a man like him."
"That must be Stanley's mother, right? She looks so young... Even after giving birth to so many children, she still looks like a teenager."
"Is that Stanley's younger sister? She's adorable... I think she can become an idol..."
While listening to everyone's compliments, Sharon Lindt and Catherine Batton childishly chuckled at each other.
The two of them felt incredibly proud.
Meanwhile, Xyla and Stanley were calm as usual.
After getting out of the airport, the people got into a long line of luxury cars that were already waiting for them outside.
Xyla, the Batton family, and Annabeth Cates' parents got into the black Rolls-Royce limousine in the front.
Meanwhile, other people got into the other cars.
Right after getting in, Bobby Cates looked around and sighed. "So this is what a big city looks like... Nothing in our small town could compare to this..." én.swnovels.net BUMS Sharon laughed when she heard this. "In that case, you should move here..."
Peggy Howards immediately shook her head That won't be necessary.
We're used to living in our own house. Now that we're old, we don't want to be in a different environment."
"Sigh. I really don't understand you two. Isn't it better to stay here and be nearer to your daughter? Aren't you worried that we might bully your daughter?" Wilson Batton asked jokingly.
Xyla and Stanley, who sat in the back row, didn't join in the conversation. Instead, they chose to listen to the adults talking silently.
Xyla naturally rested her head against Stanley's shoulder.
The two of them felt peaceful next to each other.
I--

Chapter 1705
The sight was as beautiful as a painting.
"Would you guys bully our daughter? I think that's impossible... Unless the sun rises from the west..." Bobby Cates said nonchalantly.
Bobby knew better than anyone how the Batton family treated his daughter.
He knew their personalities very well.
How could people like them bully Annabeth?
It was impossible.
He felt very assured of Annabeth being part of the family.
"Bobby, you certainly have a lot of faith in us... You're right. It's impossible. We treat anyone who marries into our household as our kids... Annabeth won't be an exception," Sharon Lindt chirped.
"I know. Wilson, Sharon, Stan, Xyla, and Catherine... Please look after Annabeth. Be patient with her if she does anything wrong," Peggy Howards said.
Xyla smiled. "Don't worry, Aunt Peggy... We will."
"Don't worry... Peggy," Sharon said.
"Yeah. We will take care of her," Catherine said.
After that, the adults started chatting about everything under the sun.
Sharon kept sharing various fun vacation spots around the world with Annabeth Cates' parents.
She was trying to convince them to travel with her.
The way Sharon described it all made Annabeth's parents feel tempted.
Meanwhile, Xyla continued to rest her head silently against Stanley Batton's shoulder while she scrolled through Weibo.
Like before, the list of hot topics was still occupied by the news of Josh Batton and Annabeth's wedding.
Everyone was talking about how they were jealous of them.
Meanwhile, amidst the hot topics related to Josh and Annabeth's wedding, there was one that just showed up with Xyla's name in it. '#Xyla Quest at the airport#'. After tapping into it, Xyla saw all sorts of compliments directed at her...
Everyone was kind with their words.
Xyla briefly read some of them, and she was pleased with what she read.
After a while, she closed Weibo.
Xyla had been occupied all this while over Josh's wedding.
At this moment, she truly felt a little exhausted.
***
Once they returned home, Xyla removed her makeup.
She then put on a luxurious, custom-made facial mask. After
that, she filled the bathtub with net
water before sitting in it witho Stanley.
Stanley had been suppressing his urges all this while.
Seeing how beautiful Xyla looked, he took a deep breath and chose to continue suppressing his urges.
After the bath, Xyla put on a bathrobe.
She dried her hair before getting onto

season, but it also gave off a pleasant scent. Xyla liked it a lot. en.swhovels.net
Xyla was careful not to miss a single spot on her body, including her legs...
Once she was done, she went to wash her hands. After that, she carefully put on hand cream.
No matter how busy she was, she didn't want to leave her skincare routine out.
This was a necessary routine for all women.
After all the tiresome work, Xyla hugged Stanley and gradually fell asleep... They were both exhausted.
They ended up sleeping until six o'clock in the morning.
As soon as Xyla opened her eyes, her phone started ringing.
Beep, beep, beep...
Chapter 1706 Chapter 1706 The person calling Xyla Quest was Georgie Clementine.
Having woken up naturally, Xyla felt that the exhaustion from working on Josh Batton's wedding had suddenly disappeared...
She now felt at ease.
Due to a good night's sleep, she was in an excellent mood.
After slowly stretching her body, she reached for her phone that was ringing on the nightstand. She glanced at it.
"Hey, Georgie..." Xyla said.
Xyla's voice was soft and had a lazy quality to it. It was very pleasant to listen to.
"Tom is dead..." Georgie said.
Xyla was very shocked by what she heard.
She was just told not long ago that Tom Sullivan was in rehab for doing drugs.
Suddenly, she was told he was dead.
Apart from feeling shocked, Xyla didn't feel anything else when she found out about this.
The man, who once meant the world to her when she was younger, didn't even make her feel the slightest bit sad when he died.
"How did he die?" Xyla asked subconsciously.
After that, Xyla slowly sat upright.
Her long, black, curly hair naturally fell down her back as she sat up.
The soft, flowy texture made her seem even more striking.
Even if Xyla had only just woken up, she was still gorgeous.
This phone call also woke Stanley Batton.
He slowly opened his eyes before reaching out and pulling Xyla into his arms tightly.
"I heard he suffered from withdrawal and bit his tongue off because it felt too terrible...
"There wasn't any professional caretaker around when it happened. So that's how he ended up dead.
"This responsibility falls on the rehab center. But, logically speaking, somebody should've been around to watch over him when something serious like this happened. "However, the person who was supposed to keep an eye on Tom was slacking off... That's why...
"Tom's family is furious. After all, at the end of the day, Tom was still their son. Tony is distraught. He vowed to get to the bottom of it and blame it on the rehab center" Georgie explained carefully.
"Understood..." Xyla said.
"That jerk deserved to end up like this... Karma always strikes back. Nobody is spared," Georgie added.
Nearby, Stanley calmly listened to the conversation without saying anything.
Likewise, he didn't feel any particular emotion regarding this matter.
After Xyla hung up. She then curled Stachatting with Georgie, Stanley's arms. "Life is truly fragile..."
ent "Yes... What would you like for breakfast?" Stanley asked.
"I want the pork rib noodles you make..." Xyla said.
"Alright. I'll make it for you," Stanley said.
After that, Stanley got out of bed and went to get cleaned up.
Meanwhile, Xyla didn't feel like getting up yet. So she decided to laze on the bed for a while longer.
After picking up her phone, Xyla unlocked it.
Various news articles appeared on her phone screen through the news applications...
The same person's name appeared on each of the news articles-Tom Sullivan.
"The Sullivan Group's heir, Tom Sullivan, has died..."
"Tom Sullivan was arrested for doing drugs. He was found dead in a rehab center."
"Xyla Quest's ex-boyfriend, Tom Sullivan, died in a rehab center."
"Shocking! Xyla Quest's ex-boyfriend, Tom Sullivan, committed suicide by biting his tongue off!"
Xyla wasn't interested in any of it. Hence, she cleared all the notifications before opening Weibo. She wanted to see if any of her company's artists were on the list of hot topics.
Upon opening the list of hot topics Xyla saw #Xyla Quest's ex-boyfriend, Tom Sullivan, died in a rehab center#' on the nuna 3 let spot.
BUMS one There was the word 'explosive' at the end of the sentence.
Chapter 1707 Chapter 1707 Xyla Quest continued to ignore it. Instead, she silently browsed through other hot topics.
This morning, there were five articles of her company's artists on the list of hot topics.
Josh Batton had three, while the others belonged to other artists.
The hot topics were all positive.
Hence, Xyla wasn't worried at all.
She accidentally tapped on the number one hot topic and opened it...
The things that came into sight were all related to reports about how Tom Sullivan died, as well as hateful comments from netizens— "This must be the best news I've heard all year."
"This is what that jerk deserves... God is fair."
"Is Xyla laughing out loud like me right now?"
"Haha... Although this might make me look evil, I still want to say it. He deserves to die... I don't feel sorry for him."
"Tom Sullivan certainly ruined his life one step at a time, even until his death."
People on the internet still remembered the past.
Clearly, they hadn't let go of what happened between Tom and Xyla.
Right then, everyone was practically celebrating as if something wonderful had happened.
Xyla briefly skimmed through the comments before exiting the topic.
After that, she completely forgot about the whole matter and slowly got up to get cleaned up in the bathroom...
Once she was done, she began her tiresome morning skincare routine.
The weather was dry during winter.
Xyla had dry skin too...
She needed to put on a layer of foundation before applying makeup.
Hence, she splashed some water on her face first.
After that, she put on a high-class, custom-made, moisturizing facial mask.
Finally, she applied essence oil, toner, and cream onto her face...
Once the she used andation was sponge to apply a layer liquid foundation onto her face....
W?
After that, she put on loose powder, a warm pumpkin shade of eyeshadow, and pumpkin-colored lipstick.
In the end, she briefly applied a layer of highlight where necessary.
Her overall look was very gentle and suitable for winter.
Once Xyla was done with her makeup, she entered the closet and got changed.
She chose a fitting white shirt, a pair of high-waisted pants, and high heels.
She wore a black coat on the outside.
Amidst the gentleness, she also looked like a strong and noblewoman.
After pulling her hair back into a talk and got ready to head Se returned to the Content behaal net Right then, it suddenly started snowing outside.
This was the first sign of snow in Atlantis for the year...
Snowflakes floated slowly to the ground, Sking the entire world almost as beautiful as a fairy swnov.net tale.
Although Xyla had terrible memories of when it snowed, she still liked snow.
She was very excited to see it.
Xyla quickly walked over to the window and enjoyed the snowy view outside.
It had only just started snowing. It left a thin, white layer on the ground.
At one glance, the entire world seemed much purer.
After enjoying the snowy view for a while, Xyla joyfully went downstairs. Ding-dong... Ding-dong...
Someone rang the doorbell downstairs...
Xyla immediately walked up to the door and looked through the door viewer.
Chapter 1708 Chapter 1708 Xyla Quest saw Betty Starmount's pretty face.
Xyla immediately opened the door and stepped forward to look at Betty. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing. I just wanted to ask you if you'd come home for breakfast. I made a lot of delicious food. You didn't pick up when I called earlier. That's why I came over..." Betty said.
Betty's tone was as gentle as she was as a person.
Although Betty didn't have any makeup on, she was still charming.
"I might have accidentally set my phone on silent mode. That's why I didn't hear you calling. I was about to call home earlier to say that I won't be going for breakfast this morning... I want to eat the pork rib noodles my husband made..." Xyla said.
A look of disappointment briefly appeared in Betty's eyes. "Oh... Forget it... Next time then... Oh, right. I made you some bird's nest. I'll bring it over to you later..."
Xyla shook her head. "It's fine... I don't feel like having any today. You can keep it for yourself and my father."
"Oh... Alright then. Are you coming home for dinner? Jeremy said he wants to have a hot pot. He also said it's only lively when the whole family is around," Betty said. "Alright. I'll be home tonight," Xyla said.
Betty smiled satisfactorily. "Okay... I'll get ready in advance.
"You don't have to do too much. Text me on WeChat to let me know what ingredients you need. I'll bring them over when I head home," Xyla said.
"Okay. I'm off then. Goodbye..." Betty said.
With that, Betty lifted her hand and waved at Xyla.
Xyla also waved in return.
Like Xyla, Jeremy Quest also liked to eat hot pot when it snowed during winter.
He especially liked cooking while he watched the snowfall.
Even if Xyla's father hadn't mentioned it, she would still head home to have dinner with him tonight.
Outside, it was still snowing heavily.
It was getting heavier by the second. The northern wind would soon engulf the entire world.
Xyla couldn't help but shiver when the breeze blew against her.
Within a short amount of time, the outside was already covered in white.
Everything seemed beautiful as far as the eye could see.
However, Xyla didn't dare to continue admiring the beauty before her due to the cold.
She immediately closed the door. Then, after shivering once more, she quickly returned to the warm living room.
The temperature in the living room.
y warm. Right them it was iciently w high as thirty degrees was no the It felt almost like summer.
The courtyard and the inside of the house seemed to be two completely different seasons.
Stanley was still busy preparing noodles in the kitchen.
Xyla could see hot steam in the kitchen. It made this winter day feel even warmer.
There was a freshly boiled pot of water on the coffee table, steam still wafting out of it.
Xyla walked up to the coffee table and poured herself a cup of water. Then, with the cup in her ha looked outside through the French window at the beautiful world...
She then retrieved her phone from her pocket and switched off the silent mode.
Right then, she could see a lot of notifications about Tom Sullivan on her phone.
Tom was cremated in Atlantis Funeral Home...
The cremation took place successfully.
His remains would be buried at noon today.
The names of those who attended his funeral could be seen.
The amount of information was overwhelming.
However, Xyla wasn't interested at all.
She couldn't even bring herself to mourn for him in silence for a single moment.
Xyla nonchalantly put her phone aside. She then continued to enjoy the silent peace.
Meanwhile, in Atlantis Funeral Home, Tom's remains Keryone in the hall we wereet shrouded in mourning.

Chapter 1709 Chapter 1709 Tony Sullivan had lost his beloved wife and son in the same year. He had completely broken down, and he couldn't stop crying as he kneeled in front of Tom's remains. In fact, he wasn't even in the right state to greet the guests.
Mary Sullivan held her tears back as she accepted comforting words from guests who had come to pay their respects to Tom.
The people who showed up were all dignified folks in Atlantis.
There were even news reporters.
Tom's coffin was in the center of the funeral hall.
Countless chrysanthemums surrounded it.
His black and white portrait was placed above the coffin.
In the photo, he looked like his spirited self as he did in the past.
His smile was wide as ever.
A few female celebrities paid their respects to Tom before walking out of the funeral hall in a low-profile manner. They found a quiet corner to chat.
With nobody else around, one of them couldn't help but start laughing.
"Why are you laughing? This is a serious occasion..." One of the other female celebrities asked.
After saying that, she, too, started laughing.
Another female celebrity, who hadn't spoken at all, also started laughing.
"Just like what people say on the internet. Karma is real. Isn't this something worth celebrating?"
"You sure know what to say. Go on..."
"I'm telling you guys. This is what a jerk deserves. Haha..."
The women kept talking. They didn't feel sorry for Tom at all.
After that, they held each other's hands and walked away with their heads lowered, pretending they were sad...
Many others felt the same way in the funeral house.
Everyone was just pretending to be sad.
Secretly, everyone was happy about Tom's death.
The Sullivan family simply didn't know about it.
***
After eating the staple breakfast Stanley Batton made for her, Xyla Quest headed to Quest Group with two hundred bodyguards. Then, she proceeded with her busy and nerve-wracking day...
Meanwhile, Stanley headed to Dragon Group with his bodyguards...
The two Of them worked different vel.net jobs during the day. So it was difficult for them to see en other.
During busy periods, neither of them would look for the other.
However, they would always have each other in their hearts.
After arriving at Quest Group, Xyla removed her coat and sat at her desk.
When she put her phone down, she accidentally unlocked her phone.
The phone screen lit up once again.
News related to Tom appeared on the phone screen...
Apparently, many people cried at Tom's funeral service.
Xyla briefly glanced at it before focusing on work.
Tom was somebody who only existed in the past.
He didn't deserve to be remembered by Xyla for even a second.
***
By the time Xyla was done with Quest Group's work, it was already noon.
She went to the canteen downstairs for a sumptuous lunch. After that, she drove to X Entertainment with her bodyguards.
At this time, many fans had gathered outside the company. Everyone was holding banners and posters of different idols.
They were here because they out that their idols would be here for a meeting today... Content, Wielongs
Chapter 1710 Chapter 1710 While everyone watched, Xyla Quest's two hundred bodyguards got out of their cars.
Most of them stood neatly in two rows on both sides of the company's main entrance, making way for Xyla.
Meanwhile, a small group of them stood next to her car.
The bodyguard closest to the driver's seat respectfully opened the car door for her. After that, he held a black umbrella over her head.
The moment the car door was opened, a warm ray of sunlight in the cold winter shone upon Xyla.
It made her skin appear white as snow.
It was still snowing heavily.
Although the snowy scenery was pretty, it wasn't as pretty as Xyla.
Xyla elegantly got out of the car and walked into the building.
As her bodyguard was holding an umbrella for her, none of the snowflakes touched her. Being the center of attention like this made Xyla seem cool, noble, gentle, and beautiful. Although there were many different qualities about her, none of them felt out of place. When the group of fans saw Xyla, they were all stunned by her beauty.
Xyla looked even better in person than she did in pictures.
The moment Xyla showed up, the fans felt they couldn't take their eyes away from her.
Everything behind Xyla faded into the background.
Everyone went wild- "Oh my god! Xyla is so beautiful in person..."
"She really is beautiful. Did you see that purse she's holding? It's Hermes... A limited-edition purse."
"Friend, her outfit is also from Hermes' limited-edition series... Everything on her probably adds up to a few million."
"She's basically wearing clothes that are equivalent to a house in value."
"The point is, isn't she pretty? I can barely breathe when I look at her."
All the fans seemed envious when they looked at Xyla...
The female fans were nearly turning gay for her.
Xyla was very close to them.
She could hear everything they were saying.
When she heard what they said, she smiled slightly before slowly turning to look at them.
Immediately after that, she smiled gently at them and nodded.
"Ahh... Xyla just smiled at us. I'm dead..."
l.ne "Ahh... I'm dead too. Sob-sob... After seeing Xyla's smile, I suddenly thought of something. Having seen a smile like hers, nobody else could compare..."
"Ahh... After seeing Xyla's face, I can suddenly understand those men in ancient times... If I were a man and had a beautiful woman like her, I wouldn't go to work early.
Having received a response from Xyla, the fans offered her even more compliments.
They were all feeling even more excited.
