Ch. 791..800

Chapter 791

Apart from Xyla Quest, Emily Quest really couldn't think of anyone else.

Xyla was the only person who had any reason to do this.

"Alright... If that's the case, I admit to all of this. But it's all because of you, isn't it? You refused to touch me, and I feel very empty because of that...

"That's why, I have hooked up with other people. I'm still so young. How could I possibly abstain from sex all the time? Although I have cheated on you physically, I only have feelings for you.

"To me, physical and emotional attachment can be separated. My heart has always belonged to you and you only. I only love you," Emily said with an earnest look in her eyes.

Indeed, these were the thoughts from the bottom of her heart.

At this point, Tom Sullivan couldn't believe what he heard anymore.

He couldn't understand how anyone in the world could be this thick-skinned and shameless...

The more Emily behaved like this, the more Tom missed Xyla.

Xyla would never do something like this. She had always been pure. Even after they got engaged, Xyla still retained her virginity despite how much she loved Tom back then.

"Are you blaming me for being impure? This photo... And this one... These chat records. All of this happened back when we were still dating... Even when I used to have sex with you, you still cheated on me, didn't you?" Tom said while he scrolled through the chat history.

When Tom talked about this, he felt even more disgusted.

He actually had no idea he was being cheated on all this while.

Long ago, when Emily first started seducing him, she was already hooking up with other people. In fact, she had never stopped since.

The thing Tom cherished the most turned out to be false. In the end, Emily was someone any other man could have sex with.

When Emily saw the chat history, she was dumbfounded.

Her enemy was way too strong. She didn't expect that person to be able to find out all the things that had happened a long time ago.

"Back then, you had even lied to me that you were having sex for the first time. That's absolutely disgusting. Your acting skill really is good..." Tom's eyes turned dark.

When they spent their first night together, Emily had pretended to be naïve and acted as if she had never had sex.

On top of that, there was even blood when they did it. Tom really was fooled by her.

Now that he thought about it, her hymen was probably surgically reconstructed.

Tom felt foolish for even believing in Emily.

"I'm going to say what I said before. Although I hook up with other people, I still love you. Alright, I'll be honest. I only behaved like that because I have a sex addiction.

"I can't not have sex. In fact, I need it every single day, and I need it frequently... Having sex with you once or twice a day isn't enough at all.

"Those men I have sex with are just tools for me to satisfy a craving. They really mean nothing to me.

"I have always only had feelings for you. Those men are all tools," Emily said as she clasped Tom's hand tightly. There was a worried look on her face.

She indeed was terrified, and she didn't want a divorce.

"I can't stand talking to you. Don't come home tonight. Stay here. I'll get someone to send you the divorce papers tomorrow.

"If you refuse to sign, I'll expose everything about you and ruin your reputation completely... When that happens, the court will side with me for a divorce anyway.

"Meanwhile, apart from having your reputation ruined, you'll get nothing in return. Your best option is to sign the papers now.

"If you do that, not only will you save your reputation, but you'll also get a large sum of money from me as our break-up fee," Tom said before turning around and getting ready to leave. Tom felt disgusted by the thought of spending another day with this woman.

"Tom... Don't leave! I have something to say. If you walk out through this door, you'll regret it." Emily held tightly onto Tom's shirt from behind.

Chapter 792

Chapter 792

Tom Sullivan snorted coldly before turning around to look at Emily Quest. "What do you have to say?" he asked. "You've been taking drugs all the time these days... Don't think I'm unaware of it," Emily said with a cold snort.

Tom's facial expression changed immediately. "What nonsense are you saying?"

Half a month ago, Emily smelled drugs on Tom when he came home one night.

Since Emily knew someone who did drugs previously, she was familiar with that scent, and she was also susceptible to it.

Back then, she had already suspected that Tom was doing drugs. However, she never found any concrete proof.

Now, she had no choice but to try tricking him.

If she managed to make him confess, she'd be able to blackmail him into not getting a divorce with her.

"Do you think your father would entrust you with the Sullivan family's business if he found out? Won't you have to go to jail if the police found out?

"Do you think I'm talking nonsense? I'm going to call the cops and tell them that you're doing drugs. They'll arrest you to get your blood tested," Emily enunciated each word. She had a very confident look on her face.

"You... Wh*re of a woman..." Tom was so angry with embarrassment that he lifted his hand and was about to slap Emily across her face.

His reaction easily convinced Emily that her guess was correct.

Indeed, he really was doing drugs.

Emily instantly sighed in relief and grabbed his hand so that he couldn't slap her. "Be a good boy and don't divorce me. I won't tell anyone if you do that," she said.

"Emily Quest! You are despicable and shameless!" Tom yelled through gritted teeth.

"Indeed, I am despicable and shameless... But it's all because I love you..." Emily said.

"Tom, you must believe me. Although my personal life is messed up, and I've slept with countless men, there's only one person in my heart. They can have my body, but they can't have my heart," Emily added. Tom felt even more disgusted with her. "When did you find out?" he asked.

"You don't have to care about that. Either way, I know about it, and I even have proof of it. If you go ahead with the divorce, I can ruin your reputation at any time," Emily said.

At this moment, Tom felt as if this woman in front of him was a leech. Not only was she disgusting, but she was also difficult to get rid of.

"Why do you do drugs? Is it because you're under a lot of pressure?" Emily asked.

"It's none of your business," Tom said.

"Buy me new clothes and take me home," Emily said.

"We don't have to get a divorce, but you'd better watch your mouth. If you say a word about this, you're dead," Tom warned.

When Emily heard this, she immediately felt relieved.

"Alright," Emily replied with a pleased smile.

"Sh*t!" Tom cursed softly before turning around and storming off.

The door closed behind him-

Emily immediately plopped to the ground. She felt as if her body was drained of all energy.

Thank goodness...

Thank goodness she was smart enough to say those things.

Otherwise, Tom would've been adamant about getting a divorce with her. In fact, he would even make the entire Sullivan family aware of the matter.

Since Emily had a grasp of Tom's weak spot, she could fully make use of her power over him...

She could force him to sleep with her and get herself pregnant...

Once she became pregnant, her status would never be threatened again.

A while ago, Emily had been thinking of various ways to seduce Tom. She had even tried using drugs on him.

However, Tom wouldn't fall for any of it. He would rather masturbate than have sex with her.

Emily once thought she would never be able to get pregnant with his child.

However, to her surprise, god had actually given her a trump card today.

Indeed, all her doubts and worries turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

***

Meanwhile, Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton started fooling around again after dinner.

Chapter 793

Chapter 793

Xyla Quest finally understood how being away from Stanley Quest made them miss each other even more.

Late into the night, Stanley reluctantly stopped having sex with Xyla. Carefully, he held her in his arms.

Xyla allowed him to hold her. She felt as if the bones in her body had melted away, and she didn't dare to even move.

Stanley gently caressed her face before affectionately giving her a peck on the forehead. "Do you want to take a bath?" He asked.

"Yes..." After answering him, Xyla's gaze unintentionally landed on Stanley's right arm.

She was able to see several clear needle scars near his elbow.

Xyla's eyes vibrated, and she sat herself upright before tugging at his right arm to examine the needle scars around his elbow. "What happened? Why are there needle scars?"

"It's nothing... I caught a cold when I was overseas. They had to give me a drip several times," Stanley said.

"Why didn't you tell me you got sick?" Xyla asked.

"I didn't want you to worry..." Stanley said.

After that, Stanley slowly got out of bed. He then carried her in his arms. "Come on, let's take a bath..."

***

The two of them took a hot bath together in the bathtub.

After cleaning herself up, Xyla returned to the room. She sat in front of the dressing table and started applying skincare products on herself.

Stanley, on the other hand, silently returned to bed.

After covering himself under the duvet, he gently rolled his sleeve up and looked at the needle scars...

Very soon, a frown appeared on his face.

After staring at the needle scars for a long while, he finally came back to his senses. He rubbed his forehead exhaustedly before lying down. Once Xyla was done with her skincare routine, she returned to bed and naturally nestled herself in Stanley's arms.

Stanley carefully held her and repeatedly kissed her forehead.

"Beep, beep, beep..."

The sound of a phone ringing disrupted their moment of intimacy.

Stanley reached for the phone over his head and glanced at the screen.

On the screen, a series of numbers appeared. However, there wasn't any remark for the caller. There were three nines at the end.

Stanley instantly cancelled the call before putting his phone aside.

"Are you hungry?" He looked at Xyla and asked.

Xyla nodded. "A little..." She said.

"How about I cook you a bowl of noodles?" Stanley asked.

"No, it's too late," Xyla said.

"It's fine..." Stanley said before picking his phone up and leaving the room.

Xyla, on the other hand, sat up painfully. She leaned against the bedhead and started scrolling through Weibo. She didn't pay any attention to the phone call earlier because she thought it was probably a harassment call.

After walking down to the first floor, Stanley immediately searched in his phone's call history for the number with three nines at the end and pressed the dial button.

"Don't forget to come to my place tomorrow. There's still one treatment left. Otherwise, I don't even dare to think what would happen..." A young man's voice could be heard from the other end of the call. "I know," Stanley said with a deep frown on his face.

After that, he quickly hung up the phone. He walked directly into the kitchen and started preparing to cook noodles.

The first thing he did was fill the pot up with water. After that, he placed the lid over the pot and prepared to turn on the fire.

Just as his hand touched the switch, Stanley suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of dizziness. Subconsciously, he reached for the stovetop.

In the next second, his face and lips turned pale.

After standing in place for a long while, the dizziness finally went away. Color slowly returned to his face and lips.

Stanley frowned deeply before turning the fire on. After that, he prepared ingredients for the meal.

Chapter 794

Chapter 794

After approximately half an hour, Stanley Batton finished cooking a hot bowl of seafood noodles.

Carefully, he brought it into the bedroom.

As soon as he did so, the entire room was filled with a fragrant scent.

By now, Stanley had already fully recovered. He looked like his usual self.

Xyla Quest, who was occupied with scrolling through Weibo, felt hungry when she smelled the scent of food.

She immediately put her phone down and shifted to the side of the bed.

Very quickly, Stanley placed the bowl of noodles on the nightstand. "Eat..." He said.

As usual, the noodles he cooked had the perfect look, smell, and taste.

It was as if the hot steam from the bowl of noodles was able to make Xyla's chest feel warm instantly.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Xyla asked when she saw that there was only one pair of chopsticks.

"Nah... I'm tired," Stanley said before lifting the duvet away and lying down. He closed his eyes right away.

"Take the bowl out once you finish eating. I'll clean it tomorrow," he said.

"Alright." Xyla nodded before picking up the chopsticks and spoon, and she started to eat.

Stanley very quickly fell asleep.

Once Xyla was done eating the bowl of noodles, she brought the bowl and utensils downstairs for cleaning. After that, she returned to bed.

Just as Xyla lay down, Stanley leaned over and subconsciously pulled her into his arms. She let him hold her while she wrapped her arms around his body.

At some point, Xyla began to feel sleepy and nodded off too.

***

The next morning, Xyla reached her hands forward right after waking up.

However, she couldn't feel anything apart from the cold bedsheet.

After stretching a little, she sat herself up and looked around.

Stanley was neither in the room nor on the balcony. His phone was missing too.

There was a Post-It note on the nightstand. "I have to leave for some work. Sort breakfast out on your own."

Xyla stretched once more before dragging herself out of bed.

Beep, beep, beep...

She was just about to enter the bathroom when her phone started ringing.

When Xyla saw that it was from an unknown caller, she picked it up anyway.

"May I speak to Miss Xyla Quest?" A girl with a sweet voice asked.

"That's me. May I know who's calling?" Xyla asked.

"Miss Quest, how are you? I'm the director of a reality show named 'Daily Life of a Married Couple'. My name is Tina Schumer," she said.

Xyla knew about this show. It was the most popular reality show about married couples, and the show had celebrity couples participating in it every Monday.

They filmed the ins and outs of a married couple's daily life through a reality series format.

"Director Schumer, how are you? May I know why you are calling me?" Xyla asked.

"Here's the thing. We would like to invite you and Mr. Batton to be part of our show because you have been very popular lately. Many people have been tagging us online and asking us to invite you onto the show. Money won't be an issue. Please make any offer you'd like," Tina said straightforwardly.

"That won't be necessary. My husband and I prefer to keep our lives private." Xyla refused without even thinking about it.

"Miss Quest, won't you give it a thought?" Tina asked.

"No, thank you," Xyla said.

She knew Stanley's personality very well. He definitely wouldn't like something like this.

After saying a few more things to dissuade the woman, Xyla quickly hung up the phone and walked into the bathroom to freshen up.

After that, she began putting on makeup in front of the dressing table.

Beep, beep, beep...

Just as she finished putting on some liquid foundation, her phone started ringing again.

Chapter 795

Chapter 795

When Xyla Quest saw that the call was from Georgie Clementine, she immediately picked up and put the phone on handsfree. "What's up, Georgie?" Xyla asked as she continued to dab foundation liquid on her face using an egg-shaped sponge.

"The negative media related to your sister, Emily, is still there... More and more people are criticizing her..." Georgie said.

"Is that so?" Xyla asked.

"Not only has it not been removed, but it's also even made it to the first spot on the list of trending topics... Did Stanley do it on purpose to mess with her?" Georgie said. "Perhaps..." Xyla chuckled.

Apart from Stanley Batton, nobody else would likely do this.

"Oh, right. I have some business to talk to you about. It's the finals for Teenage Idol tonight... Do you want to attend the live event?" Georgie added.

After a series of competitions, ten remaining finalists in Teenage Idol after the rest of the candidates were eliminated.

The only people from X Entertainment who remained were Jay Corben and Morty Wayne.

Tonight, the ten remaining candidates would be performing together.

Netizens and live audiences would vote according to their performance.

The results were dictated by the votes received by each candidate prior, on top of the votes they would receive tonight.

They would then be ranked according to the results.

Whoever received first place would become the leader of the group.

At this point, Morty Wayne and Jay Corben were the leading candidates in the first and second place.

There was hardly much of a gap between their number of votes.

However, the other candidates had far lesser votes compared to these two.

Hence, Xyla wasn't worried in the least bit.

Regardless of what happened, the leader of the group would either be Morty or Jay.

"I'll be there," Xyla said without hesitation.

Apart from Jay and Morty, Xyla also wanted to be there to watch Noah Smith perform. Noah was going to get his debut by performing at the Teenage Idol's finale tonight. "Have they decided on the group's name?" Xyla asked.

"It will be called 'Ten'..." Georgie answered.

"Ten... This name is hardly creative, but it does sound easy to remember," Xyla said.

"Yeah... I thought it's a little too random, but the name is indeed easy to remember," Georgie said.

"I have to put on makeup. I'll see you tonight," Xyla said.

"Alright. It's going to start at eight o'clock tonight. This time, it's going to be a live stream. I'll arrange a front-row seat for you later," Georgie said.

"Okay..." Xyla said and hung up the phone. She then shifted her attention back to putting on makeup.

Since she was in a good mood today, she wanted to put on more glamorous makeup than usual.

Xyla drew her eyebrows in the shape of a willow leaf.

After that, she drew on tangerine-colored eyeshadows with a champagne-colored highlight.

With the help of glamorous makeup, Xyla looked even more attractive. The perfectly drawn eyebrows shaped like willow leaves made her look even more fairy-like and elegant.

Xyla was very pleased with her makeup today. She stared at her reflection in the mirror for a long while before reluctantly stepping into the closet.

She chose a thin, lake-blue, skin-tight, knitted sweater and matched it with a short, brown, tight-fitting skirt. Finally, a pair of lake-blue high heels completed the outfit. The perfect curvatures of her body were fully visible.

After making sure everything looked fine together, Xyla picked up a beige, limited-edition Chanel purse and left the house.

Xyla went to a hotel for a casual breakfast before driving to Quest Group in her sports car, accompanied by several cars full of bodyguards.

As soon as she entered the building, she could hear two pretty ladies behind the reception desk discussing what happened between her and Stanley the day before.

 

Chapter 796

Chapter 796

"Really? I didn't come to the office yesterday. Did I actually miss a good show?"

"Exactly... President Xyla was so cool yesterday. When her husband showed up, he was pretty awesome too."

"Really?"

"Of course... I'm so envious of her. My favorite idol, Josh Batton, even liked her post on Weibo. I'm so jealous."

"Oh, yeah... Did you know, this morning... Her husband..."

The ladies immediately became quiet when they saw Xyla Quest. After that, they smiled at Xyla.

Xyla politely smiled and nodded at them before she continued walking to the elevator.

"President Xyla... Keep it up..." A pretty lady behind the reception desk said while she looked admiringly at Xyla.

"Sure, I will." Xyla smiled and started walking to the elevator.

When she entered her office, she was shocked...

Her desk was full of shopping bags of various sizes with LV's logo on them. There was barely any space left.

Xyla quickly walked up to her desk and carefully checked what was inside each of those bags.

Most of the bags contained clothes.

Xyla randomly took a few pieces of garment out from the bags. She realized that these were all clothes for summer.

In fact, she liked each of them a lot.

Stanley Batton had an immaculate taste in fashion.

Hence, Xyla knew that it couldn't have been anyone else but Stanley who gifted her so much stuff.

She immediately called Stanley on the phone.

"Did you get the stuff?" Stanley asked.

"Yeah... What's going on? Why did you buy me so many clothes?" Xyla asked.

"I noticed these clothes when I went down to the shopping mall earlier. I thought they'd look good on you, and so I asked someone to send them over. Do you like them?" Stanley said. "I do..." Xyla replied.

"Great," Stanley said.

"Thank you, honey," Xyla said.

"Don't mention it..."

"Honey, I'm going to watch Teenage Idol's finale tonight. I won't be home for dinner," Xyla said.

"Okay," Stanley replied.

After chatting casually for a while, Xyla hung up the phone. After that, she moved all the shopping bags to the couch. She then turned on her computer and got ready to work. After turning her computer on, she logged into her email account to go through her emails.

Right then, she noticed she had over 999 unread emails in her company's group chat. Subconsciously, she clicked on it to have a look.

In the next second, she could see a lot of lemon-shaped emojis all over her screen.

Out of curiosity, she began scrolling up the chat history and saw all types of comments.

"President Xyla's husband is way too nice. Yesterday, he gave her a bracelet made of a Martian meteorite. Today, he gave her LV clothes... A lot of them..."

"I heard that the stuff he bought occupied President Xyla's entire desk."

"Sigh. Being poor has restricted a great deal of my imagination..."

Usually, when everyone got tired of work, they would chat for a bit in the group chat.

Xyla briefly skimmed through the conversation. However, she didn't respond to any of it. After that, she closed the group chat and opened her email inbox to start working.

***

After finishing all her work at seven o'clock in the evening, Xyla drove to Atlantis Triple Stadium, where Teenage Idol's finale was held. A group of bodyguards escorted her. This finale was no different from significant concerts. Audiences were able to purchase tickets to watch the event in the stadium.

There was half an hour left until the finale commenced. Outside the stadium, many people were walking about, and all of them were fans of the reality show's participants. There were more women than there were men.

Chapter 797

Chapter 797

Each of them was holding a lit banner or poster of their favorite candidate...

Some of them were also wearing headbands with the name of their favorite candidate printed on them.

Everyone seemed excited.

There were ten posters of the ten respective candidates in front of the stadium's entrance.

Every single candidate looked stunning in each of the posters.

When Xyla Quest arrived in her Maserati with several Mercedes-Benz Cayenne security cars behind her, she immediately attracted a lot of attention from people around her. After parking her car seamlessly into a designated parking spot, she put on her cap and got out of the car.

Very quickly, several Cayenne cars also parked nearby. Ten bodyguards walked out of the cars and promptly approached Xyla to help make way for her.

When everyone saw Xyla, they started taking pictures and videos of her with their phones, and they published these on their social media accounts, including Weibo. Surrounded by bodyguards, Xyla displayed Georgie Clementine's working permit and walked into the stadium.

By then, the stadium was already packed.

There wasn't a single empty seat in sight.

Staff members were doing all sorts of final equipment tests on the stage.

As everyone watched, Xyla walked directly over to the seat Georgie had prepared for her. It was the middle seat in the front row.

Some of the bodyguards she came with sat on both sides next to her, while the others sat behind her.

Each of them had a serious expression on their faces, and they had cautious looks in their eyes.

At precisely eight o'clock, all the lights went out. The stadium was in complete darkness.

Right after that, an upbeat tempo began to play.

A single light appeared on the stage...

Noah Smith, dressed in white, sang and danced below the light.

This was a song X Entertainment had specially hired professionals to create for him. It was called 'Night'.

The upbeat tempo, coupled with his magnetic voice, as well as his stunning dance moves, instantly excited everyone in the crowd.

Right then, Noah looked like a shiny diamond...

Everyone was talking about him on the live stream channel.

"Ahhh... Who is this heavenly guy? He's so handsome..."

"This guy is very good! I dig him!"

"Ahhh... I'm giving all of you three minutes. I want every single detail about this guy..."

Noah was deeply immersed in his performance on stage. He had forgotten about everything else.

Off-stage, Xyla was in a similar state.

She was focused entirely on watching Noah perform. In fact, she didn't even notice Stanley Batton walking and sitting down next to her.

Stanley didn't say anything. Instead, he silently watched her with an affectionate look in his eyes.

As soon as Noah's song ended, everyone in the crowd clapped loudly.

Xyla started cheering and clapping like everyone else...

She was very satisfied with Noah's performance today. It had completely taken her breath away.

Indeed, as someone new to the industry, displaying such performing abilities on stage was nothing short of extraordinary. Xyla felt as if she was witnessing the birth of a new star. Right then, the screen director gave Stanley special attention.

Stanley and Xyla's faces appeared on the large screen simultaneously.

On the screen, Xyla was cheering and clapping. Meanwhile, Stanley was looking at her with a smile on his face.

It was even more romantic than what one would see in idols' drama series.

Suddenly, a lot of people in the audience started shouting.

Everyone shifted their attention to Xyla and Stanley.

Only then, Xyla noticed Stanley was right beside her.

She instantly turned to look at Stanley.

Very soon, Xyla found herself wholly drawn to his gentle gaze...

Chapter 799

Chapter 799

The screen director was smart enough to give them a close-up appearance. Suddenly, the fans who admired Jay Corben and Morty Wayne started screaming again... However, Jay's behavior caused dissatisfaction among his fans who didn't admire him and Morty.

These fans started yelling sadly at Jay, who was on stage.

"Jay Corben, I have put in so much money to support your career. I didn't do it so you could get into a relationship. Come on, stop looking at him..."

However, these fans couldn't affect Jay or the other people around him at all.

Soon, the other candidates gradually took turns to sing as well.

Once they arrived at the center of the stage, they all started dancing as a group.

The combination of their singing and dancing nearly charmed the pants of their fans off.

"Ahhh... Jay Corben... Mommy loves you..."

"Morty Wayne... Don't get kidnapped by Jay. You belong to me..."

"Ron Lambert... Mommy loves you... I'll vote for you..."

Just like the live audience, people watching the show on the live stream channel were equally excited.

"Ahh... Jay Corben and Morty Wayne are the most wonderful people in the world. They're the perfect couple."

"Ahh... Everyone on stage is awesome. All ten have unique qualities. I love them all."

"Please don't try so hard to make yourselves seen, JayTy ship fans. If anything, our Morty Wayne looks better on his own."

"JayTy is real! Two of them should walk down the aisle together!"

Everyone on stage was shining like a star.

However, to Xyla, Jay and Morty were the most attractive ones.

Since they first joined the show, they had both improved significantly in their singing and dancing skills. Xyla was very impressed by them, and she started cheering and voting for them like the rest of the audience.

Stanley, who was next to her, seemed very calm. His face was expressionless. Silently, he looked down at the voting device and proceeded to vote for Morty and Jay.

Xyla and Stanley were both fair in the way they voted. Since everyone at the venue had twenty votes each, they each gave ten votes to Morty and the other ten votes to Jay. Soon, the song came to an end.

The group members looked at each other and smiled. They then took a deep bow at their fans off-stage.

Josh Batton walked onto the stage and stood next to them. "Now, the voting has officially ended... Let's have a look at the votes from both our online and live audience for this performance..."

As soon as Josh finished speaking, the large screen displayed the current votes for all ten candidates.

Morty was in the first place, followed by Jay in second place. There was a difference of 100,000 votes between them.

Ron Lambert was in third place, and there was a difference of one million votes between him and Jay...

Meanwhile, there was also a huge gap in the number of votes between the rest of the group and Ron...

"This part of the competition will include the votes from before as well... Let's have a look at their final ranking..." Josh added.

Soon, the large screen displayed their final votes and respective ranking.

Morty, Jay, and Ron still occupied the first three places as they did before.

There was also still a very small difference in the number of votes between Morty and Jay.

"In that case, I hereby announce that the leader of the group, Ten, is Morty Wayne..." Josh said.

Morty's fans in the stadium began cheering and crying...

Right then, Morty was the center of attention.

Jay was panting as he held onto his microphone. Without saying a word, he quietly looked at Morty...

Chapter 800

Morty Wayne smiled a little before subconsciously turning to look at Jay Corben next to him.

Recently, the two of them had constantly been cooperating with the company to sell the idea they were seeing each other to gain popularity. Since they were always together, Morty's feelings toward Jay had started to change.

It seemed as if they were much more than friends...

Subconsciously, Morty would rely on Jay, and he would also care about what Jay thought of him...

For example, at this moment, Morty didn't care if the stadium was filled with people cheering for him. All he cared about was this person next to him.

When the two looked at each other, the screening director gave them another close-up shot.

Fans in the stadium who admired the couple started shouting excitedly.

"The couple is real."

"I've got it right this time!"

Next, it was time for candidates to share their thoughts.

Josh Batton automatically walked off the stage and returned to his seat.

Each candidate took turns to share their thoughts.

Some offered sob stories while others tried to make jokes. Everyone was very much entertained, and they were crying one moment and laughing in the next. After the stories were told, the candidates started performing one after another.

While watching their performances, Xyla Quest opened Weibo.

By then, this competition seemed to have stolen the spotlight in the list of trending topics-

First place was '#Josh Batton in his black, shiny, formal outfit#'.

Second place was '#Ten#'.

Fourth place was '#Morty Wayne wins the leadership role#'.

Fifth place was '#Xyla Quest and Stanley Quest, the match made in heaven#'.

The sixth place was '#JayTyCP is real#'.

The seventh place was '#Who was the guy who performed in the opening act?#'.

The tenth place was '#JayTyCP#'.

The fifteenth place was '#Jay Corben and Morty Wayne stare into each other's eyes#'.

Xyla briefly scanned through the list of trending topics before clicking on the link to '#Who was the guy who performed in the opening act?#'.

There were all sorts of comments on the topic.

"Who was the guy who performed the opening act during Teenage Idol's finale? He's really handsome..."

"Please find out that guy's name, height, blood type, horoscope, and..."

"I'm begging you... I want to know who that guy is."

To boost Noah Smith's popularity, Georgie Clementine intentionally left out an introduction for him when the show started.

Clearly, this was a very good idea.

The more mysterious he seemed, the more curious everyone would feel...

The more curious they felt the more they would discuss him. As such, Noah's popularity would only increase even more.

"Beep, beep, beep, beep—"

Right then, Georgie sent a WeChat message to Xyla. "My mother came to visit me at my place. That's why I couldn't make it to the stadium. But I watched the competition at home. It was awesome. Our company's artists all did really well."

"Yeah... The level of attention on Noah Smith is quite sufficient now. Once this thing ends, you can get the marketing accounts to start distributing his information," Xyla said.

"Yeah, I've already told them about it," Georgie said.

"Alright," Xyla said before shifting her attention back to the performance on stage.

***

At ten o'clock, members of the newly formed group, Ten, ended their performances.

The live audience fans still couldn't get over the excitement they were feeling in the bottom of their hearts.

Xyla felt the same way.

Today, all ten of these performers had put on a spectacular show for her.

While holding Stanley Batton's hand and being surrounded by a group of bodyguards, Xyla walked out of the stadium reluctantly with the rest of the crowd.

Amidst the large crowd, Stanley and Xyla were the center of attention.

Anybody who walked past them would take a second look at them.

While everyone watched, Xyla and Stanley got into her red Maserati. Meanwhile, the other bodyguards got into their respective security cars.

Stanley drove while Xyla sat in the passenger seat.

Soon, the red Maserati blended in with the flow of traffic.
