Ch. 881..890

Chapter 881

"Ken, I'm really sorry. I'll treat you to a meal next time..." Georgie Clementine said politely.

Ken Gladwell let out a long, helpless sigh. "Be more careful when you support someone next time. People like her should stop being popular as soon as possible," he said before returning to his original position.

Georgie didn't say anything else. Silently, she got into her white Maserati and drove away.

Meanwhile, Suzie Cobold stood still for a long time. Finally, she cried her way back into the trailer.

At this moment, she could sense deeply what hopelessness felt like.

She truly didn't know what else to do.

She felt as if she was completely lost in life...

Before coming to X Entertainment, she had worked hard in King Entertainment for a total of four years.

Back then, at a young age, to get opportunities to act, she had slept with many rich men. Some men were born into rich families, while others were self-made tycoons.

However, all they gave her were some supporting female roles.

Suzie's career never took off for the longest time...

Later, when her contract expired, she came to X Entertainment.

After a while, Georgie noticed her and gave her a leading role in a coming-of-age film.

Perhaps, due to her good luck, the film became a hit overnight.

Suzie's career went uphill all of a sudden.

Later, the shows Suzie acted in became popular one after another. She became an overnight success in the entertainment industry. Countless offers were given to her, and she had more endorsement opportunities than she could handle.

The status and reputation she had today were all fruits of her blood and sweat.

All this while, it had been a difficult journey. She had managed to reach the peak despite all the challenges. However, before she had even finished enjoying the scenery, Georgie had kicked her down. Georgie wouldn't even give Suzie a single opportunity. She was terribly cruel...

How could Georgie dismiss Suzie like that? How could she be so heartless and cruel?

"Georgie Clementine... I won't give up this easily!" Suzie said through gritted teeth. "Do you think I'm a weak animal just because I don't show you my fury? Do you really think you have the world under your feet?"

***

The next morning, Xyla Quest received a call from Georgie as soon as she opened her eyes.

She immediately stretched her body before reaching for her phone and answering the call. "What's up, Georgie?" Xyla asked.

"I have something to report to you..." Georgie said.

"Spill..." Xyla slowly sat up.

A strong aching sensation immediately started to spread all over her body...

Xyla carefully touched her waist before giving the culprit next to her a dissatisfied glare.

At this moment, Stanley Batton was lying down while facing her. By then, he was already awake.

Stanley was looking at her affectionately. There was a faint smile on his face.

In the very next second, he reached out and pulled Xyla into his arms. He kept her trapped in his embrace, not allowing her to slip away.

Chapter 882

Chapter 882

Xyla Quest had no choice but to let Stanley Batton do as he wished. She waited patiently for Georgie Clementine to speak.

"I had a fall out with Suzie Cobold yesterday..." Goergie said.

"Has she been acting up again?" Xyla frowned a little.

Suzie really was the toughest artist to deal with in the company.

Ever since she became popular, her personality took a turn for the worse. Everyone above and below her rank in the company had to bear with her attitude...

With everyone letting Suzie have her way, she became even more annoying.

When Xyla thought of this person, she felt a headache coming.

Meanwhile, Georgie lazily got out of bed and stretched. "Yawn..."

After that, Georgie told Xyla everything that happened between her and Suzie last night.

After hearing the whole story, Xyla frowned slightly. "Is this person mad?"

Georgie let out a long, helpless sigh. "She got popular and became arrogant. She has forgotten her place. Xyla, you won't blame me, will you?" Georgie asked.

Xyla shrugged nonchalantly. "Why would I... I've been annoyed with this person for a long time. I think it's for the better. It'll be a warning to the rest... The others will be more willing to toe the line from now on. These days, many artists in the company, who were slowly gaining popularity, were starting to become arrogant...

Xyla felt that Georgie did the right thing.

With this shocking incident, the others would be more willing to toe the line.

"To be honest, apart from doing this because of her arrogance, there's an even more important reason. I wanted to use her as an example to remind the others to play by the rules," Georgie added. Xyla laughed. "Yeah... That's what I thought too. Georgie, you can do whatever you want. My stance hasn't changed," she said.

"Okay. I'm glad you understand," Georgie said.

"A hundred percent," Xyla said.

Right then, Stanley started touching Xyla's body inappropriately.

Suddenly, Xyla's heart began to beat out of control. Her breath was becoming uneven too.

To prevent Georgie from sensing it, Xyla hurriedly spoke. "Well, that's it for now, Georgie. I'll contact you later. I have to get out of bed first..."

After hanging up, Xyla frowned slightly. She tried to struggle while she spoke softly. "What are you doing?" she asked.

"You..." Stanley said directly.

Xyla immediately blushed.

What ensued next was some hot action...

***

At the same time, Tom Sullivan slowly brought his black Porsche Cayenne to a halt in front of Municipal Jail.

Mary Sullivan walked out sullenly...

During her days in jail, she couldn't eat, drink, and sleep well...

She had lost a lot of weight.

Whenever she dreamed in the middle of the night, she would think of the good food at home and her loved ones at home. She missed them so much that she'd cry. When Mary saw Tom's car, her eyes immediately welled up.

When Tom saw his little sister coming out, he immediately got out of his car and jogged up to her.

He wrapped his arms around Mary. "You're finally out..."

Mary hugged her Tom tightly while tears streamed down her face. "Yes, Brother. You have no idea what life was like in there..."

This was all Xyla's fault. That b*tch.

Mary wouldn't let Xyla off the hook no matter what!

During the time Mary was in jail, she had heard a few things about her family.

Chapter 883

Chapter 883

Mary Sullivan also knew that Xyla Quest had severely impacted her family's business.

When Mary thought of this, she clenched her hand tightly into fists behind Tom Sullivan.

"From now on, turn over a new leaf and be a good person. Don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't," Tom advised earnestly.

He knew Mary very well, and he also knew what Mary was thinking right now.

However, Tom didn't want Mary to repeat the same mistakes.

Besides, he didn't want Xyla to get hurt again.

"I understand..." Mary nodded slightly.

After that, Mary quickly pushed Tom aside. "Brother, I saw Emily and May in there. But I didn't get the chance to speak with them. What happened to those two? Were they also harmed by Xyla, that little b*tch?"

When Mary mentioned Emily Quest, Tom's facial expression immediately turned cold. "They deserve it for what they did... Alright, let's not talk about them first. Get in the car," Tom said.

With that, Tom pulled Mary by her hand to get into the car with him.

Once in the car, Mary impatiently started to ask him about Emily. "Brother, hurry up and tell me..."

Emily was Mary's best friend. When Mary's best friend was in such a state, she naturally wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Tom skillfully turned the car around and started telling Mary everything about what Emily and May Conner had done.

After hearing this, Mary Sullivan immediately started laughing. "Haha, they're pretty awesome... Well done!"

"Mary!" Tom's facial expression immediately turned cold.

Mary rolled her eyes at him. "Can't I be happy for a second? Xyla deserved all of that, alright?"

Tom glared at Mary coldly without saying anything. His facial expression was extremely sullen.

Mary didn't say anything else either. She merely rolled her eyes at him once more.

***

After lunch, Xyla Quest drove very quickly to X Entertainment.

From a distance, she saw the building across the street from X Entertainment. Henry Armstrong's words of confession were still being displayed on the screen... Xyla couldn't resist calculating how long the advertisement had been playing.

After some calculation, she realized it had already been three days.

Despite an advertisement cost of 300,000 dollars every ten minutes, Henry kept his confession on the screen for a total of three days.

Three days meant many ten minutes.

The amount of money was so huge that Xyla couldn't even begin to calculate it...

Helplessly shaking her head, Xyla got out of her car directly and walked into the company's building in a low-profile manner.

She took her personal elevator and directly entered her office...

Although she had not been to the company for a long time, her office was as neat and tidy as usual.

In the huge office, there wasn't a speck of dust in sight.

Knock, knock, knock-

Just as she was about to walk over to her desk, someone knocked on the door.

Xyla slowly sat down in front of her desk and looked at the door. "Come in..." She said slowly.

Soon, Georgie walked in with a large pile of documents.

Georgie directly placed the documents on Xyla's desk. "These all need to be reviewed by today. Have a look... You must sign them by tonight..." Georgie said. "Alright," Xyla answered decisively.

"If there's nothing else, I'll be off..." Georgie said.

"Georgie... Wait a second. There's something I want to talk to you about," Xyla said.

"Hmm... Go on..." Georgie said as she grabbed a chair and sat down next to Xyla. She looked at Xyla with a serious expression on her face and waited for Xyla to speak.

"Last night, I came up with a very good plan... I want to discuss it with you... If this plan goes well, our company will be even more successful..." Xyla added. "What is it?" Georgie's eyes lit up with anticipation.

Chapter 884

Chapter 884

"Georgie, I plan to get involved in the field of film and television production on a large scale. Web dramas are trendy now," Xyla Quest said.

"I want to find a few outstanding young directors, producers, executive producers, cinematographers, and screenwriters to invest in the production of web dramas independently.

"We'll use our new actors with high potential, as well as trainees and idols in all of these dramas.

"Nowadays, a lot of popular celebrities gain traction through web dramas. As long as we make more high-quality web dramas, making a group of people famous isn't a problem at all," Xyla enunciated each word.

Georgie Clementine paid full attention to what Xyla said. After a few seconds of silence, Georgie finally nodded. "Yeah. To be honest, I've thought about this too... I think it's very doable. Throughout the years, the popularity of good web dramas has even surpassed some of the dramas starring A-list celebrities," Georgie said.

Xyla Quest instantly snapped her fingers. "Let's do it then..."

"But the costs and risks of independently producing web dramas would be huge too... I didn't bring this up to you before because of the high costs and high risks..." Georgie said.

Xyla smiled a little. "If we want high returns, we'll need to take on higher risks. As long as we have good scripts, nothing will be an issue. I plan to purchase a few web novels and adapt them into scripts... Let's purchase some novels that already have a large existing fanbase and are also suitable for adaptation. What do you think?" Xyla said.

Georgie nodded again. "Hmm... I think it's very doable..."

Xyla gently picked up a pen, flicked it around with her fingers before she spoke. "Then, let's do this first. Web dramas will only be a trial. If we succeed, we can follow the same model and independently invest in movies, television dramas, and so on...

"Apart from that, once we become more prominent in the future, we can even establish or acquire an excellent online novel platform. We can also nourish our original creators using our platform.

"The authors will provide the novel, the screenwriters will be responsible for making the adaptations, and our company will be responsible for investment and filming," Xyla said each word with clarity as she described the beautiful blueprint in her mind.

After listening to Xyla's inspirational ideas, Georgie gave her the thumbs up. "It would be awesome if we did that. Suppose we can really develop to that extent. In that case, we can even create or purchase an online video website and a television channel to actively promote our in-house web dramas, television dramas, movies, the reality shows we have invested in, and much more..."

"Yeah..." Xyla nodded. "That way, we can create bigger platforms for developing our company's artists. Just like I said when we first decided to develop X Entertainment, I want X Entertainment to dominate every aspect of the entertainment industry...

"Not only do I want X Entertainment to be number one in Country Z, but I also want it to be the largest star-maker in the world." When Xyla spoke about this, she was filled with passion.

Georgie was in awe with Xyla's passionate speech, and she immediately gave Xyla the thumbs-up. "Alright, Xyla. Don't worry. You can count on me to execute all your ideas safely. As long as there's something you want to accomplish, I'll execute it wholeheartedly..."

Xyla's smile widened. "Georgie, I'm so glad I have you here. Go ahead and do as you see fit. If the company gets better, we'll all get better," she said.

Georgie chuckled and gently held Xyla's hand. "I should be the one saying this to you. If what you said really can come true, then X Entertainment will be the largest star-maker in the world... And you can also make your way onto Forbes World's List with your abilities..." Georgie said.

"We can talk about that later. For now, let's focus on doing a good job with the web dramas I mentioned. If we take things one step at a time, I'm sure we will reach our goal one day," Xyla said with a confident look in her eyes.

Georgie nodded enthusiastically. She felt very motivated on the inside once again. "Alright... I will. When the time comes, you'll reap the rewards, and I'll get to have a small share of it..."

"If I reap the rewards, you will too. I definitely won't mistreat you," Xyla said.

"Alright. Oh yeah. About Colbie Olsen, she has already been included as part of Forever Love's drama team," Georgie said.

"Okay... Make sure she acts decently," Xyla said.

"Naturally. After getting this opportunity, she's celebrating as if it's the New Year's," Georgie said.

"Okay..." Xyla said.

With that, Xyla turned around to look at the building behind her. It was continually replaying Henry's words of confession. "Georgie... It looks like Henry Armstrong is serious this time. It doesn't seem he will be giving up easily," Xyla said as she jutted her chin slightly in the direction of the advertisement.

Chapter 885

Chapter 885

Georgie Clementine shrugged nonchalantly. "Whatever. I can't be bothered to deal with him anyway..."

"I won't tell you what you should do about love and romance. Anyway, as I said before, just follow your heart," Xyla Quest said.

"Okay, I know," Georgie said.

"By the way, how has Josh been doing?" Xyla asked.

"Same as always. He's still working very hard, and it's been quite busy. He's been awfully exhausted lately," Georgie said.

"Change his schedule around. Give him a few days off every month. Life should be a combination of work and rest. This should be the same for the other artists, too... Don't let anyone get too tired. Making money is important, but their health is important too," Xyla said.

Georgie nodded slightly. "Okay. Alright, I have to get back to work. You should too," she said.

With that, Georgie turned around and walked out of Xyla's office. After gently closing the door, she took the elevator downstairs. She was about to check on Josh Batton at Forever Love's drama team. Just as she passed by the front desk, a pretty receptionist called out to her. "Wait a minute, Ms. Clementine..."

Georgie looked at the pretty receptionist curiously.

"There's a package for you..." The receptionist said.

Georgie immediately walked over to her...

Soon, the receptionist placed a large package in front of Georgie.

Chanel's logo was on the package...

The sender and his number were left blank.

Georgie instantly felt confused.

She didn't buy anything from Chanel recently. Where did this package come from?

Out of curiosity, Georgie picked up a pair of scissors and opened the package...

There was a box with Chanel's logo printed on it.

Once Georgie opened the box and unwrapped what was inside layer by layer, an intricate white, diamond-laced purse came into sight, along with a white card.

The purse was a world-wide limited-edition purse she had previously seen in a magazine.

There were only three such purses in the entire world.

Georgie felt even more confused...

When the two pretty receptionists saw this purse, they were both amazed...

The two of them subconsciously held each other's hands and simultaneously started feeling envious of Georgie.

Georgie put the purse down and picked up the card. She opened it right away.

There was a sentence written in black, cursive handwriting. “I hope you like it. Henry Armstrong..."

Chapter 886

Chapter 886

Georgie Clementine immediately frowned. She then put the purse and card back into the box without touching anything else.

After that, she unblocked Henry Armstrong's number from her phone and dialed his number.

"Hello..." Henry very quickly picked up. He sounded a little lazy.

"I don't want the purse you gave me... Give me your address. I'll return it to you," Georgie said.

"No..." He said.

"Henry, I told you clearly that we're incompatible," Georgie said.

"You haven't tried it. How are you so sure that we aren't compatible?" Henry asked.

"I don't need to try to know that we're incompatible..." Georgie said.

"How are we incompatible..." Henry said.

"We just aren't compatible... I'm not interested in a womanizer," Georgie said.

"I can change for you, honey," Henry said nicely.

"A leopard never changes its spots," Georgie said before hanging up right away. She then handed the box over to the pretty receptionist. "I'll leave this with you for now. Keep it safe. Once I get the address of the person who sent it, I'll have you mail it back... " Georgie said.

The receptionist took the box and nodded. "Ms. Clementine, do you really not want it? This is a globally limited-edition purse... You can't buy it even if you're rich," she said.

"Just keep it safe for me..." Georgie said.

With that, Georgie started walking away.

As soon as she left, the two pretty receptionists behind the front desk started discussing among themselves.

"When she said Henry, was she referring to the man who confessed to her via the large screen across the building and even sent roses to her at our company?"

"It probably is him... Isn't that man amazing? Not only did he confess to her via the large screen, but he even sent her roses and luxury goods..."

"Exactly! I'm truly jealous of Ms. Clementine. If I were her, I'd agree to anything. Have you seen that man? He's quite handsome."

"Yeah. Forget about the circle of the wealthy folks. Even in the entertainment industry, he's also considered one of the most handsome males."

As these two women talked about her, Georgie walked out of the company and got into her white Maserati.

As soon as she got in, she called Xyla on the phone. "Xyla, can you give me Henry's address..."

"Why would you ask for that?" Xyla asked.

"I have something to return to Henry," Georgie said.

She didn't want to have anything to do with a womanizer like Henry.

A womanizer like him might seem serious today, but he might stop being serious tomorrow. Georgie didn't want to put her youth on the line for what might never happen tomorrow. She could become a wealthy person on her own. Besides, she didn't want to marry rich like other women.

Instead of being hurt by womanizers after genuinely falling for them, Georgie would rather keep her feelings protected from the beginning.

She just wanted to find a good man to be with and live stably for the rest of their lives.

How could she grow old with a cold-hearted person?

"Okay, I'll send it to you..."

Soon after Xyla hung up, she sent Henry's address to Georgie's phone.

Georgie thanked Xyla before sending the address to the receptionist in her company and asking her to mail the package back to Henry...

After Georgie finished making the necessary arrangements, she blocked Henry's number again. She then turned on her car engine and started driving quickly to Atlantis Studios. When she arrived, Josh Batton was in the middle of an acting scene.

Hence, Georgie quietly looked for a parking spot and parked her car.

She didn't get out of her car right away. Instead, she opened Weibo on her phone.

Georgie wanted to check what was trending today to amuse herself.

Chapter 887

Chapter 887

As soon as Georgie Clementine opened the list, she saw that Henry Armstrong's confession made it onto the list of trending topics again.

The third-place read '#Confession on the large screen across from X Entertainment#'.

Georgie immediately pinched her forehead and tapped on the link...

At the top was a post from a netizen showing Henry Armstrong's words of confession, as well as a passage. "This appeared on the screen across from X Entertainment. These words of confessions have been playing continuously for several days now. I can't believe someone would spend 300,000 dollars every ten minutes to keep that confession on a large screen like this... Is this guy mad? To be honest, I'm really envious of Ms. Clementine."

There were more than a million shares, likes, and comments under the post.

The comment section was flooded again.

"So this is how other people confess... Ms. Clementine should quickly accept this man."

"If someone confessed to me like this, I would have agreed within a minute. What could Ms. Clementine possibly be thinking about?" "Indeed, poverty has limited my imagination. Now, I'm most curious about how long this man is willing to continue with his confession?"

"He really is rich... It's almost as if I've just witnessed someone burning cash! Ahhh!"

"Isn't this way too sweet? This looks like something that would only happen in television dramas. I'm extremely jealous and envious of her."

Every netizen sounded more excited than the one before, but Georgie still didn't feel anything on the inside.

After briefly going through the comments, she started reading gossip about other people in the entertainment industry.

***

Xyla Quest kept herself occupied at X Entertainment, and she only stopped working at five o'clock.

When Xyla saw that it was still early, she didn't want to go home immediately. Hence, she drove over to Goldfield Plaza. Several black Mercedes-Benz arranged by Stanley Batton followed closely behind her. Upon arriving, they parked their red Maserati and black Mercedes-Benz in vacant spots.

The long row of luxury cars instantly attracted a lot of attention.

Just as Xyla was about to get out of the car, her phone started to ring.

It was a call from Georgie.

Xyla instantly answered the call and got out of the car...

"Xyla... Have a look at Weibo... The number one topic on the trending list... Suzie Cobold really is driving me mad." Georgie sounded quite unhappy.

Xyla hung up after that and opened Weibo.

As soon as she opened it, she saw the hashtag #Georgie Clementine abuses her power to get what she wants#' on the number one spot in the list of trending topics.

There was a word 'explosive' at the end of the hashtag.

Xyla immediately frowned a little before quickly tapping on the link.

The first thing that came into sight was a Weibo post that Suzie had published a minute ago.

"After having worked in the entertainment industry for so many years, this is the first time I've met such a shameless superior as Georgie Clementine. After not being able to have her way with me, Georgie threatened to replace me with someone else in Forever Love. She even said she would keep me hidden from the public and boycott me. In fact, she said she would work with everyone in the industry to block me out. On top of that, she even said she would make it look like I became a diva after becoming popular. Georgie Clementine, you really are disgusting!"

Although this Weibo post had only been published less than a minute ago, it had already gained a lot of traction...

There were over five million shares, likes, and comments.

Suzie's fans and passersby were getting excited about attacking their common enemy.

"What? Does Georgie Clementine actually like the same gender? That explains why she wouldn't accept that rich man despite his high-profile confession."

"Just because Georgie couldn't have her way with Suzie, she treated Suzie this way. Everybody knows about the ugly stuff that happens in the entertainment industry. Our Suzie is the most professional actress around. Georgie, go to hell!"

 

Chapter 888

Chapter 888

"D*mn! What a shock! I wonder, is the boss behind X Entertainment slacking off? How could one not care when one's employee is acting like this?"

"I heard that X Entertainment's boss is a lady. Perhaps, something is going on between those two. Otherwise, why would she let Georgie Clementine do such things?"

"I bet Georgie will do exactly as Suzie said. She's going to defame Suzie. Sisters, let's not fall for that."

"I just want to ask one question. When will Georgie, this b*tch, die? D*mn. Such a shameless dog!"

"Oh, my goodness. Suzie must be feeling so hopeless right now. Why is it so hard to be a nice person in the entertainment industry?"

Due to Suzie Cobold's Weibo post, everyone in the comment section was already on her side...

Everyone believed all the nonsense she said...

Xyla Quest felt extremely disgusted by Suzie's Weibo post and the comments under it.

She didn't expect Suzie to be the thief that cried 'thief'.

With this happening, nobody would believe X Entertainment even if they leaked a bunch of derogatory news about Suzie being a diva.

Everyone would stand on Suzie's side because she brought this matter up first, and they would think that Georgie Clementine set up Suzie.

Having worked in the entertainment industry for so long, this was the first time Xyla met a female artist with such courage. It was also her first time encountering something this odd. Although Suzie's tactic was impressive, Xyla absolutely wouldn't let this woman have her way.

Despite Suzie being the thief that cried 'thief', this matter wasn't too hard to resolve for Xyla and Georgie.

All they needed to do was show evidence that Suzie was indeed a diva.

Right then, Georgie called Xyla on the phone again.

Xyla immediately picked it up. "This matter isn't actually too hard to deal with. We just need to show evidence of her being a diva. That'll be enough.

"Use our company's official Weibo page to publish the evidence we have kept hidden of her being a diva in the past... After that, clarify things on your own. That'll be it..." Xyla said.

All these years, X Entertainment silently hid a lot of Suzie's dark past without her knowing.

In fact, X Entertainment even had a lot of footage of her as proof.

Xyla thought that Suzie only dared to behave in such an unbridled manner precisely because she didn't know X Entertainment had all these footages of her.

Georgie chuckled softly. "Okay... I planned to do that too. This matter doesn't only involve my reputation. In fact, it involves the company's reputation too. I will make sure it's resolved properly... But, now isn't the time..." Georgie said.

"Let's talk about this tomorrow morning..." Georgie added.

Xyla immediately understood what she meant. "You want to use this as an opportunity to generate traffic for Forever Love and Colbie Olsen, don't you?"

"Yeah. You're still the one who knows me best. Besides, let people amuse themselves a little. I'll clarify things tomorrow morning," Georgie said.

"Okay... We'll do as you say. Also, don't get mad. A traitor like her doesn't even deserve your wrath," Xyla said.

"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't angry. But I was only angry for a moment. I feel much better now... Don't worry about me, Xyla. Everything's under my control," Georgie said.

After chatting with Georgie briefly and making sure she was emotionally fine, Xyla finally hung up and entered the shopping mall with a group of bodyguards.

With such a large group of people entering grandly, they instantly attracted countless people's gazes.

Everyone couldn't help but sigh in amazement.

"Is this how rich people live?"

"Isn't that Xyla Quest? I've seen her pictures before on Weibo. She's so pretty..."

"I can't take it anymore. She looks way too good... Absolutely stunning!"

While everyone watched, Xyla gently twirled her black, curly hair. After taking the elevator and arriving on the floor that sold men's luxury outfits, Xyla started walking around aimlessly. She planned to buy Stanley Batton a few sets of formal attire.

Most of his formal attire was black, blue, and gray. The choices of color were far too monotonous...

Chapter 889

Chapter 889

Xyla Quest wanted to buy Stanley Batton something different.

After getting out of the elevator, she walked directly into Versace's store...

As soon as she entered, she saw a few sales assistants standing around a male customer while they sucked up to him.

"You look very handsome in person..."

"Oh my god! I can't believe I'd actually get to see you here in person."

"I've always watched Teenage Idol. I'm your loyal fan."

That male customer was none other than Jay Corben...

He was wearing a black cap and a black face mask, as well as a pair of oversized, black sunglasses. He was all covered up.

He also wore a large black T-shirt, a pair of formal black pants, and a pair of black canvas shoes.

He gave off the vibes of a bad boy.

Right then, he was engrossed in choosing his outfit.

When Jay saw Xyla, he immediately stopped walking. "Such a coincidence..." He said.

Xyla chuckled and walked over to him slowly. "Yeah. Why are you alone? Where's your assistant?"

Jay shrugged gently. "I asked her to spend time with her boyfriend. I wanted to shop on my own. What about you? Are you here to buy clothes for your husband?"

Xyla nodded. "Yeah. Don't come out on your own next time. You're very popular now. Things could get troublesome if you get cornered by fans."

"Hmm... Okay...." Jay said.

"Well then, have fun shopping. I'll be looking around too..." Xyla said.

After saying that, Xyla started choosing formal attire for Stanley in earnest.

Jay, on the other hand, walked coolly off to somewhere nearby and started choosing clothes carefully.

Very soon, he identified his object of interest. It was a set of light-blue formal attire. He then pointed at the formal attire and looked at the sales assistant beside him. "I'll take this set... Do you have the right size for me?"

Xyla casually glanced at the formal attire before pointing at another set of purple formal attire. After checking it out, she asked for the size she wanted...

Once the two had paid for their purchase, they left the store together under the protection of a group of bodyguards.

Right then, a little girl who walked by recognized Jay.

She instantly stopped walking and pointed at Jay. "Ahhh! Jay Corben! You're J-Jay... C-Corben... Aren't you?"

The girl was so excited that she blushed as she stammered.

After she shouted like this, everyone in the shopping mall suddenly shifted their attention to Jay...

Sensing that something bad was about to happen, he immediately pulled his cap down and looked at Xyla. "I'll be making a move now, boss..."

With that, Jay started running away.

The girl immediately took her phone out and started taking pictures of Jay.

Meanwhile, other people who heard this immediately chased after Jay like a swarm of bees.

Seeing that things were getting out of hand, Xyla immediately looked at her bodyguards. "You guys... Go with Jay and keep an eye on him. One of you can stay with me. That'll be enough." The bodyguards immediately nodded respectfully...

After that, they began to leave. There was only one who stayed to protect Xyla.

Beep, beep, beep...

Right then, Xyla's phone started to ring again.

Chapter 890

Chapter 890

When Xyla Quest saw that the call was from Stanley Batton, she immediately smiled and picked it up. "What's the matter, honey? Do you miss me?" Xyla asked.

As Xyla spoke, she began to sound gentler. She was grinning from ear to ear, but her voice still sounded as soft as ever.

"Where... Where are you now?" Stanley asked.

His high-quality voice made her heart pound again.

"I'm at Goldfield Plaza. I wanted to buy some clothes for you. What about you?" Xyla said.

"I'm here too..." Stanley said.

On the other end of the phone, Stanley was on the floor that sold women's attire right beneath Xyla. He was accompanied by a group of senior and junior management staff of the shopping mall and over ten bodyguards while he inspected stores in the mall.

Everyone behind Stanley seemed uptight, and none of them even dared to breathe too loudly.

Stanley was wearing a tight-fitting white shirt, coupled with black pants, and both sides of his sleeves had black sleeve bands above them. He looked both unapproachable and noble.

It was as if all the stars in the sky were gathered around him. Clearly, he was surrounded by a lot of people, but everyone only noticed him.

Wherever he went, everything around him would fade into the background.

All the sales assistants and passersby around him looked at him, and they couldn't take their eyes off him.

Everywhere Stanley went, sales assistants would greet him with sweet smiles on their faces. "Welcome," they would all say in unison.

However, he never once looked at any of them.

"Which store are you in?" Stanley asked. His voice became gentler.

"I'm on the floor that sells menswear... I'm in Gucci..." Xyla looked around before answering him.

"Wait for me where you are. I'll be there right away. I'm on the floor above you," Stanley said.

"Alright," Xyla said.

"Be good, okay?" Stanley added. His voice sounded gentle as before.

The shopping mall's management staff members following behind him, who were initially nervous, immediately looked at each other.

Apart from their CEO's wife, nobody else could possibly make Stanley behave this gently.

Right then, the female management staff couldn't help but feel envious of their CEO's wife.

After hanging up the phone, Stanley got into the elevator with a large group of entourages. They headed downstairs.

The huge formation suddenly caught the attention of everyone downstairs, and they all looked at Stanley.

Countless people began sighing in awe.

"This... This man. Why does he look so familiar? Is he Stanley Batton? He looks like a dominant CEO..."

"After seeing him, I can imagine him as the male protagonist in all the novels I have read about dominant CEOs..."

"He's way too handsome, and that aura of his... I'm dying, sisters... I really am dying! Stanley Batton, just kill me already!"

At this moment, Stanley was the person all women were looking at.

Wherever he went, the air around him seemed to be filled with pink bubbles.

However, Stanley still didn't look at anyone else. Instead, he calmly headed to where Xyla was.

Meanwhile, Xyla was quietly waiting for Stanley with bags in her hand in front of Gucci's store.

When she looked up, she saw Stanley walking toward her while surrounded by a large group of people.

Although there were clearly many people around the two of them, they only had eyes for each other.

The dazzling lights in the shopping mall shone upon Stanley, making him look like a god descending from the sky on a colorful cloud. The glow around him made it impossible for Xyla to look away. Under her gaze, Stanley walked up to her one step at a time.

Suddenly, his eyes turned cold, and the smile on his face disappeared.
