Chapter 891

Soon, the group of people behind him followed suit and stopped in their tracks, their eyes fixed upon Xyla Quest as they greeted her in unison, "Good evening, Young Mistress." "Good evening," Xyla replied to them with a warm smile.

Stanley Batton took the shopping bag from Xyla and stole a glance at it. He frowned slightly when he saw a piece of awful-colored cloth inside the bag. "Is this dark purple shirt for me?" Xyla nodded. "Yeah. You don't like it?"

Hearing the words 'dark purple', the group of people behind Stanley instantly exchanged looks of unease.

Most of them knew that Stanley hated dark purple the most...

Nonetheless, to everyone's surprise, Stanley smiled at her and said, "Nah, I love it. I love dark purple the most."

What???

The crowd could not believe their ears. They looked at each other in confusion, their eyes filled with doubts and shock.

"Really? You should try it on later," Xyla said.

"I will." Stanley stretched his arm and pulled her into his embrace. "Is there anything else you would like to buy?"

"Hmm... I'm thinking of getting a few more shirts for you." As Xyla spoke, she scanned the people behind them before shifting her gaze back to Stanley again. "You must be busy now, right? You'd better get going. No worries. I can shop on my own."

"Nah, I have nothing much to do. I'm coming with you," Stanley insisted.

Following that statement, he glanced at the group of people behind them and ordered coldly, "Go ahead and do what you're supposed to do. I'll walk around myself."

The mall's manager immediately stepped forward and offered to be their personal tour guide. "Sir, should I come with you?"

Stanley looked at him indifferently. "No, it's okay."

Once again, the manager lowered his head down courteously. "Alright. Feel free to contact me if you need any help. Have a great day."

With that, he left the pair together with the other management staff members.

The group of people started whispering among themselves as soon as they turned around.

"Our CEO hates dark purple the most, doesn't he?"

"Exactly! But, it's a gift from his wife. He likes whatever his wife buys for him."

"Oh my god... I've never seen our CEO looking at a girl like that! He's so sweet!"

"Young Mistress must be the happiest girl on earth. There's nothing to complain about in her life. I'm so jealous of her."

"Honestly, I don't even have the right to envy her. Look at her. She's pretty and smart. Which man wouldn't fall for her?" Xyla and Stanley were not aware of their discussion as they tried to keep their voices down the whole time. "Let's go to Gucci." Xyla pointed at the store next to her.

"Sure." Stanley beamed at her as he curled his fingers around hers. The lovebirds then walked into the store hand in hand.

Six bodyguards followed them into the store while the rest neatly lined up on the entrance sides.

Noticing their grand arrival, all the store sales assistants got so nervous that they broke out in a cold sweat.

Several idle sales assistants immediately hurried to Xyla and Stanley.

"Hello, sir, may I know what you're looking for?" One of the short-haired sales girls asked cautiously. She was trying her very best to force a smile as she met their eyes. "Up to her," Stanley's eyes darted apathetically toward the girl and answered. His right hand remained wrapped around Xyla's waist.

"We'll have a look around the store first. Don't mind us. I'll call you when I need help," Xyla said.

The sales assistants gave them a respectful nod before walking away.

Suddenly, a middle-aged married couple beside them started arguing over a dress shirt.

"What's wrong with you? Why do I have to buy the clothes you like? I'm the one wearing them, not you! I don't care. I'm getting this white one. I don't like the one you're holding."

The man dressed in a white shirt stood in front of the dressing mirror with a grumpy face. He could not stop complaining as he scanned himself up and down in the mirror.

Chapter 892

Chapter 892

"I just think you look skinnier in black, and it doesn't get dirty easily," the woman tried to explain.

"I'm taking this. Miss... Check, please," the middle-aged man glared at the woman coldly before pointing at the white shirt he was wearing and said.

Disappointed by her husband's attitude, the woman sighed helplessly and put the black dress shirt back on the rack.

Xyla Quest peered at the middle-aged couple before holding Stanley Batton's hand and leading him to the suit section. She picked a few light-colored suits according to her preference and compared them on Stanley's body one by one.

Stanley stood beside her without making any complaints.

There was a startling contrast between the man's attitude and Stanley's...

The sales assistants could not help but exclaim in awe inwardly.

Xyla looked around the store and finally chose a mauve suit.

She took the suit and placed it around Stanley's body while asking, "What about this one? Do you like it?"

Stanley remained glued to the floor, his eyes full of fondness for Xyla. "I'm fine with anything as long as you like it." "Do you like it then?" Xyla asked.

"My answer is still the same. Pick the one you like. I'm wearing it for you to see anyway," Stanley reassured her. Warmth spread in Xyla's heart instantaneously. "But your opinion is important as well. You're the one wearing it."

"Hmm... I love everything my wife picks for me," Stanley said without hesitation.

The middle-aged woman happened to overhear their lovey-dovey conversation.

Jealousy was written all over her face as she stared at Xyla.

Irritated by the unjust treatment, she turned to the middle-aged man and hissed furiously, "Look at the others and look at yourself!" With that, she turned around and stalked out of the store grumpily.

The crabby middle-aged man rolled his eyes at her before taking the shopping bag from the cashier and catching up with her. Xyla handed the suit she had chosen to the sales assistant. "I'm taking this. The size fits perfectly. Please wrap it up for me."

The sales assistant took the suit from her respectfully and then dashed to the counter.

Stanley quickly followed behind her.

After paying for the suit, he grabbed the shopping bag with his left hand, held Xyla's hand with the other, and left the store with the large group of bodyguards. Once they stepped out of the store, the sales assistants immediately gathered around the counter and whispered among themselves.

"It's funny how people's lives are different from one another. Our CEO is so kind to his wife."

"I didn't know he's so obedient to his wife. He wears whatever his wife picks for him."

"Did you see him just now? He stood there like a good boy when her wife was comparing the suits on him. He was staring at her dotingly the entire time. Oh my!" "He's so sweet. I wonder how it feels to be pampered by a stunning man like him."

"If I were her, I guess I would be so excited that I have trouble falling asleep every night."

***

Xyla dragged Stanley into the other stores under the bodyguards' watchful eyes and went on a spending spree.

After buying another three suits for Stanley, she left the store with Stanley satisfactorily.

Stanley wrapped her arm around her waist the whole time. "Do you want to have a look at the women's section?"

Xyla had sore feet from walking all day, so she shook her head in response. "Nah, I'm tired."

Wearing heels to shop was a bad choice indeed. The soreness in her soles was throbbing and spreading at this moment.

Stanley hugged her tightly. "Alright then. Let's go home."

Xyla nodded and headed straight to the elevator.

However, she had only managed to walk a few steps before she felt a stabbing pain in her right heel.

"Ouch..." she grunted and stopped in her tracks. She lifted her right leg and took a look at her right heel. It was raw and bleeding, but she had not noticed it until now...

Chapter 893

Chapter 893

The wound was oozing blood.

Stanley Batton soon noticed her wound.

Without hesitation, he placed his arm around her back and scooped her knees.

He lifted her easily and effortlessly, just like the cool hero in the movies.

The people who watched them almost died of envy when they saw the man's unabashed reaction to his wife's tiny wound. Stanley's stupendous act had garnered a lot of attention. Xyla Quest's cheeks instantly turned cherry red, embarrassed.

She subconsciously threw her arms around Stanley's neck and mumbled, "Hey, put me down... Many people are looking at us..." "So what?" Stanley kept a straight face, totally unaffected by the attentive eyes around him.

He weaved through the crowd and marched into the elevator.

The bodyguards followed closely behind them.

As expected, the lovebirds had become the center of attention in the elevator as soon as they set foot inside it.

Blush seared through Xyla's neck when she accidentally met the strangers' eyes.

The remarkable encounter had begun a wave of discussion among the crowd.

"What kind of perfect husband is this? He's spoiling his wife like a baby."

"That girl is so lucky, isn't she? What a lovely couple."

"Are they Stanley Batton and Xyla Quest? Oh my god, they're so sweet! They make me believe in love."

"I really want to know how it feels like to be in the global-limited-edition nobleman's arms.”

Jibber-jabber spread among the crowd and pierced through Xyla's ears.

She could feel her face burning with acute embarrassment.

She scanned the babbling crowd around her before lifting her head to meet Stanley's exquisite jawline. "Hubby, can you please put me down..." "Be a good girl or I'll kiss you," Stanley replied softly.

Xyla shut her mouth at once, her stomach felt knotted.

When they reached the parking lot, the man strode out of the lift and carried her all the way to the car.

After getting into the car, Xyla moved to the passenger seat next to her and carefully took off her heels, observing the bloody wound in disgust.

Stinging pain attacked her again, causing her to frown in agony.

One of the bodyguards got into the car shortly afterward.

Stanley turned to him and ordered coldly, "Hand me the band-aids and the iodophor in the glove compartment."

The bodyguard immediately followed his instruction and opened the glove compartment. He tore a band-aid and handed it to Stanley together with a small bottle of cotton balls soaked in iodophor solution. After Stanley took the things from his bodyguard, he carefully placed Xyla's right foot on his thighs.

Then, he uncapped the bottle and used the tweezers inside the bottle to pick up a cotton ball. He transferred the wet cotton ball to her heel and gently tapped it on her wound.

Iodophor solution seeped through her skin and flesh. In the very next second, Xyla could feel the pain running down her heel again.

"Hiss..." Xyla could not help sucking air through her teeth, the nerves in her toes were as stiff as steel.

"Hang in there... I'm almost done." Stanley tried to clean her wound as lightly as he could, as if he was handling the most precious antique in the world. His eyes were locked upon her wound, and a serious expression was etched upon his face.

The way he treated Xyla melted Xyla'd heart. Her soft lips subconsciously curved upward into a genuine smile.

The bodyguard sat awkwardly in the car, seemingly tortured by the sweetness between the lovebirds.

After he was done disinfecting her wound, he tore open the band-aid and put it on her wound. "Be careful. Avoid contact with water."

Xyla nodded. "Okay. Thanks, hubby."

"Silly girl, do you have to say 'thank you' to me?" Stanley stroked her hair dotingly as he spoke.

Xyla's smile widened. "Well, I have to say it. Oh, by the way..."

Chapter 894

Chapter 894

"Grandpa sent me a message this morning. He said that he's going to stay at Mom and Dad's place for the next two days, so he won't be around tonight." Xyla Quest added. "Yeah, I know. He informed me about it too. Where are we going to eat later?" Stanley changed the subject.

"Hmm... I have a craving for seafood."

"Shall we go to the beach then?"

Xyla nodded excitedly.

Without further ado, Stanley turned to the bodyguard and ordered, "Go to Waterside Hotel."

Waterside Hotel was one of the high-end hotels in Atlantis. It was located by the sea, and that was where its name came from.

The per capita consumption of the hotel was extremely high. The people who came here were mainly some moguls.

In the past, she often went there with her father for business purposes.

Not only was the dining environment nice and cozy, but the seafood there was also very delicious.

The hotel's head chef was the former president's royal chef. He was an absolutely brilliant cook. He could turn any ordinary ingredients into classy, mouth-watering dishes.

Stanley's motorcade gradually moved forward and blended into the traffic flow, heading toward Waterside Hotel one behind the other.

The fleet of luxury cars had attracted a lot of attention as they sped down the streets.

Roses were blooming all over the city outside the window.

The rosy fragrance lingered in the car, keeping Xyla's mind refreshed.

She leaned on Stanley's shoulder affectionately and pulled out her phone to check her Weibo.

The trending list had been updated.

Nevertheless, the conflict between Georgie Clementine and Suzie Cobold was still on the top of the list.

Moreover, she found her name on the second and fifth hot topic on the list.

The second hot topic was #Xyla Quest And Stanley Batton Public Displays Of Affection#, followed by a fiery red 'HOT!' icon.

The fifth hot topic showed #Xyla Quest Jay Corben#. There was a 'HOT!' icon behind it too.

Xyla first tapped the second hot topic and took a look at it.

The first thing that came to sight was a post uploaded by a netizen:

"I just saw Stanley Batton and Xyla Quest shopping together at Gold Field Plaza today!

"The two of them were at the Gucci's men section. Xyla was helping Stanley to pick his suit while Stanley was following behind her obediently. Whether it was the suit's color or the cutting of the suit, everything was up to Xyla to decide.

"He just bought whatever Xyla chose for him. When Xyla passed him a shirt and asked for his opinion, he said that he was fine with everything as long as she liked it because-

"He wore them for her to see! Ahhhh! I'm getting goosebumps!"

A collage of pictures of her and Stanley shopping in the store was attached below the short paragraph.

There was a picture of Stanley ruffling her hair.

There were also a few pictures of her comparing the suits on Stanley.

The post had already exceeded a million likes, comments, and shares.

Xyla skipped the comment section and scrolled downward.

She soon found the second post uploaded by another netizen:

"I saw Stanley Batton gave Xyla Quest a princess-hug at Goldfield Plaza today!

"It seemed that Xyla's right heel was worn out by her red high heels. Noticing the wound, Stanley immediately lifted her to stop her from walking.

"Ahhhhh!!! He even carried her all the way to the parking lot! I believe in true love now!"

Likewise, the number of likes, comments, and shares had hit a million.

Xyla continued scrolling through the topics. All the posts in there were more or less the same. They were mainly about her and Stanley shopping together and how Stanley princess-hugged her when she was injured.

The netizens were so worked up as if they had just eaten some lemons.

"Ahhhhhh!! Look at their love story! I'm so jealous!"

Chapter 895

Chapter 895

"Xyla Quest is undoubtedly the most blessed girl on earth! I'm envious of her."

"F*ck! She's a life winner, isn't she? Sob... How I wish I can be like her."

Xyla Quest could not help smiling as she scrolled through the comment section.

Exiting the topic, she returned to the trending list and tapped on her and Jay Corben's hot topic.

The first thing that caught her eyes was an article posted by a marketing account. Apparently, the account had managed to secure a major scoop and broke the news to the world: "Jay Corben was caught shopping alone at Goldfield Plaza in downtown Atlantis today. Coincidentally, he met Xyla Quest, who was shopping for men's clothing in the same store too. "Jay Corben had only managed to have a few words with her before he was spotted by his fans, who swarmed over him in the very next second.

"Jay Corben had no other choice but to leave the store as soon as possible. Worried about his safety, Xyla Quest immediately sent a few of her bodyguards to look after him." The post had also hit a million likes, comments, and shares.

Countless Jay's fans had expressed their gratitude to Xyla under the comment section.

"We, little whales, would like to thank Xyla Quest for helping out our idol. You're such a kind soul. No wonder Stanley Batton would fall for you!"

"Why do I feel like all the handsome men in the world are Xyla's friends? I'm so jealous of her."

"@XylaQuest, thank you, little fairy, for taking care of our Jay. Bless you!"

"@XylaQuest, are you a magnet that attracts hot guys instead of magnetic objects? Stanley Batton is your husband, whereas Josh Batton and Jay Corben are your friends." "What are you looking at?" Stanley Batton wrapped his arm around Xyla's shoulder and peered at her phone screen.

Xyla immediately recollected herself, then shook her phone in front of Stanley's face. "Nothing much. I'm just scrolling through the trending list."

"Speaking of which, what's going on between Georgie and the actress?" Stanley asked curiously.

Xyla sighed helplessly and recounted the ins and outs of the incident to Stanley.

Stanley frowned slightly. "Do you need help?"

Xyla shook her head. "Nah, it's okay. Georgie and I have already come up with a solution. We'll settle it tomorrow."

"That's good. Let me know if you need any help, okay?"

"I will. Thanks, hubby." Xyla nodded.

Buzz buzz buzz...

Suddenly, Xyla's phone vibrated.

Seeing Henry Armstrong's name on the screen, Xyla immediately picked up the call.

"What happened to Georgie? I just saw the news about her and Suzie Cobold, but I was too busy this afternoon. I tried to call Georgie but I couldn't reach her. Damn... Is Suzie crazy???" Henry sounded anxious and irritated.

Xyla massaged her forehead helplessly before recounting the incident to Henry again.

Henry started cursing as soon as he heard the story. "F*ck! That girl is such a b*tch! I'm going to teach her a lesson right now! Rubbish!"

"Chill... Georgie and I know what to do. We'll settle it by tomorrow. Please don't do anything, okay? You'll only mess up our plans." Xyla tried to calm him down. "What plans?"

"You'll find out tomorrow. Don't worry about it, alright?"

"Okay then. Let me know if you need help. I can help you guys to kill her."

"Well, that's not going to help."

"Once the matter is over, I want Suzie to disappear from the entertainment industry! She has messed with the wrong person," Henry jabbed.

Xyla smiled upon hearing that. For a moment, she was touched by his concern and determination for Georgie. "Don't worry. I'll take care of it. Don't be mad too." She hung up the phone after chatting with Henry for a short while.

Buzz buzz buzz...

Right at this moment, Xyla's phone vibrated once more.

Her face clouded over as soon as she saw the notification popped up on the screen.

Chapter 896

Chapter 896

The notification showed:

"More scandals about Georgie Clementine were exposed by Suzie Cobold today!"

The article was posted by Weibo's official entertainment account.

Xyla Quest immediately tapped to open the article.

What came into her view was a long paragraph, followed by a screenshot of Suzie's recent Weibo post.

"Suzie Cobold had exposed more scandals about Georgie Clementine a few minutes ago. In addition to Suzie Cobold herself, she revealed that Georgie Clementine had offered backdoor deals to many X Entertainment's artists throughout the years.

"Ridiculously, X Entertainment's big boss knew all about it, but no action was taken! On the contrary, she fully supported Georgie Clementine's misdeeds!

"Suzie Cobold had indirectly hinted that there was an ulterior relationship between X Entertainment's big boss and Georgie Clementine."

Xyla then tapped on the screenshot. The original post uploaded by Suzie popped up at once.

The content of the post was exactly the same as the article.

Xyla was utterly dumbfounded.

Perhaps what Suzie did last time was to satisfy her desire for revenge. However, Xyla was certain that she was not the only one behind the breaking news this time.

The news involved many X Entertainment's artists as well as Xyla, the big boss. Suzie would never have the gut to challenge her unless there was someone to back her up.

The number of likes, comments, and shares below Suzie's post had hit three million in the screenshot.

The article uploaded by Weibo's official entertainment account had also exceeded five million likes, comments, and shares.

Suzie's fans and even some random onlookers had gone haywire. Palpable rage and aggression washed over the comment section.

The comments were getting increasingly harsher.

"@GeorgieClementine, I can't believe that you're such a terrible person. How can you be so shameless?"

"She has offered backdoor deals to many artists, eh? Let's see who in the X Entertainment has the best resources, and we'll know who they are."

"Josh Batton, Jay Corben, Morty Wayna, Noah Miller, Aubrey Quinn, Charlotte White, and Dave Wilkins are the most popular artists from X Entertainment today. This is especially true for Jay Corben, Morty Wayna, and Noah Miller. They seem to have hit the jackpot with their debuts."

"I believe that Josh Batton is innocent. The big boss has spent a huge sum of money to poach him from the other company, and he's their hottest star. Georgie doesn't dare to touch him. As for the others... Well, well..."

"I'm going to kill you, Georgie... X Entertainment's big boss should die too! Please die!"

"Whenever I think of Georgie Clementine and my beloved idol... Emm... F*ck... How can you be so shameless, Georgie?!"

"I represent all the JayTyCP fans to warn you not to touch our beloved idols ever again! Everyone knows that our idols are successful because they're talented, and they worked really hard for it."

"How can X Entertainment's big boss harbor a criminal like Georgie Clementine after knowing what she did? Something is going on between the two of them. I'm very sure of it!"

"That big boss should die! X Entertainment is a rubbish company! I hope it goes bust real soon! It's f*cking filthy!"

"I honestly don't believe that the big boss is innocent. No one will ever harbor Georgie that b*tch and allow her to do this kind of thing in the company. By the way, I've heard that the big boss is a girl. Ew, disgusting."

The comments were getting more and more intense.

Every word pierced her eyes like a pointy, heartless nail.

Backdoor deals and unspoken rules were prevalent in the entertainment industry. Everyone knew that.

Therefore, it was not surprising that the netizens would believe these rumors. They believed that people posted it because it really did happen.

Though Xyla was speechless about their malicious comments, she could understand why they would do so.

Stanley Batton, who had been sitting beside Xyla, saw everything on her phone.

He frowned in frustration. "Are you sure you don't need any help?"

Xyla shook her head in response. "It's okay. I've got this."

"This matter isn't as simple as it seems," Stanley advised her.

"Why? Do you think that someone else set this up instead of Suzie? Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it."

Stanley gently stroked her hair. "Okay. Let me know if you need any help. I'm always here for you."

Chapter 897

Chapter 897

Xyla Quest nodded obediently. "Alright, I will."

Stanley Batton did not speak again.

He had faith in Xyla. He knew that she could handle this.

At this moment, Georgie Clementine called Xyla.

Xyla immediately answered the call. "Georgie, have you checked Weibo?"

"Yeah. I guess the whole thing is more complicated than we think. She might be trying to take revenge on me at first, but I'm sure there's someone else behind it this time." Georgie sighed. "Yeah. Let's find out who's the mastermind behind it."

"I have people to dig him up already. Don't worry. I'll solve everything tomorrow morning."

"That's great. Put your mind at ease, alright? Try not to take it too personally."

"You too."

"I know."

Hanging up the phone, Xyla put her phone aside and leaned against Stanley's shoulder with her eyes closed.

Sometimes, she really did not understand how someone could be so unscrupulous.

X Entertainment had been tolerating Suzie Cobold.

Since she joined the company, they had given her many opportunities and platforms to utilize her acting skills. She had caused many troubles to the company, but they did not hesitate to clean up the mess for her no matter how unreasonable she was.

This was especially true after she became famous. Everyone in the company had to take care of her like a baby.

However, she was never grateful for the company. Instead, this was what she did in return.

She challenged the company over and over again. She was the one who had crossed the line and ended her career. Nonetheless, instead of reflecting upon herself, she had blamed everything on the company.

She even tried to smear the company.

Meanwhile, in the X Entertainment chief executive's office, Georgie logged onto Weibo again after hanging up the phone.

Once she opened the app, she searched for Suzie's account and scrolled through her timeline.

She could not stop cursing when she saw her most recent post about X Entertainment. "Shit! How dare you do this to me? Why did I bring you to fame in the first place? I must have been blind!" After venting her anger, she turned off her phone and tossed it aside.

***

While all these were happening, somebody else was having a whale of a time in one of the Skye Premium Clubhouse's private rooms.

The glorious private room was filled with laughter.

Suzie was leaning on a middle-aged man's chest, saying all kinds of dirty jokes to please the man. The two were laughing happily on the red sofa.

After finishing her joke, Suzie took a sip of the red wine and transferred it to the man's mouth through her lips.

The man had tasted the wine, but he did not want to let her go. He pulled her in and claimed her mouth again.

Bloody red liquid trickled down the corners of their mouths.

Several thin red lines formed on their jaws, enchanting yet flirtatious.

Heat filled the room, and the man started to do something nonsensical again...

Soon, the man pressed her onto the sofa.

Suzie wrapped her arms around his neck and whispered, "Mr. Brown, will you fulfill your promise?"

"Of course. I'll help you terminate your contract with X Entertainment as long as you cooperate with me. I want their artists to be scandal-ridden, so nobody will work with them.

"Once we succeed, I'll turn you into Sun-N-Shine Entertainment's hottest star. You'll be given priority when any directors or brands would like to work with us. I'll also get rid of Georgie Clementine as per your request," the man reassured her.

Chapter 898

Chapter 898

Suzie Cobold giggled. "Thank you, Mr. Brown. I promise that I won't let you down. I'll keep spreading rumors tomorrow morning. I'm going to name all of them this time... Mr. Brown. May I know why you hate X Entertainment so much? Did their big boss offend you?"

"Well, X Entertainment has been going great recently, and that rubs me the wrong way. My artists are going to be jobless soon because of them! I have to do something. I have to defeat them. Otherwise, how are my artists going to survive?" the middle-aged man hissed.

"That's true. The entertainment industry is just like a tiny cake. More and more artists from X Entertainment are becoming famous overnight. In a way, they're dominating the industry.

"The larger piece of cake they took, the lesser cake left... It's understandable why you hate them." Suzie fanned the flames of hatred between the two companies. "Exactly. Hence, you have to do your part, Suzie," the man urged Suzie.

"Of course I will. I won't let you down. You came to me personally and offered me such generous conditions. I'll never forget that. Don't worry. I'll do my best no matter what. "Speaking of backdoor deals, I'm afraid that there's no way Georgie Clementine can clarify herself. You say she did it, then she did it. She has nothing to prove herself anyway.

"Besides, backdoor deals and unspoken rules are prevalent in the entertainment industry. Everyone knows that. Therefore, the artists I'm going to name next will be in real trouble. X Entertainment is in grave danger...

"By then, a few words from your company are enough to crush them. Keep smearing them, and give your artists more exposure at the same time. I'm sure X Entertainment will meet its end in a blink of an eye..."

Suzie shared her plan with the man in earnest.

She started laughing like a maniac after finishing her story. "Hahahaha! I'm so excited. X Entertainment and Georgie Clementine are dead!"

"To be frank, I totally didn't expect you to accept my offer when I first came to you. X Entertainment brought you to fame, after all," the man said.

Suzie sneered. "Brought me to fame? It's just a mutually beneficial partnership, okay? They get to make a lot of money if I'm famous. Moreover, the big boss didn't even try to help me when Georgie bullied me. Shouldn't I hate her?"

"Yes. You're right. I wonder why Georgie is so quiet. It's so weird," the man mumbled.

Suzie snorted coldly. "What's so weird about it? What can she do now? Nobody is going to believe her no matter what she says or does. My first post has already pushed her to the edge of the cliff."

The middle-aged man laughed, "That's true, but I'm still worried about it. It's not so simple-"

Before he could even finish her sentence, Suzie kissed him. "Take it easy. Everything will be fine."

Suzie did not agree with him. There was nothing so complicated about it.

She thought that she did a pretty good job.

Both X Entertainment and Georgie Clementine would end up miserable. That was inevitable.

Joy surged within her whenever she thought of what would happen to X Entertainment and Georgie next.

Her plan would keep going tomorrow.

The storm would only worsen day by day...

***

The next morning.

As soon as Georgie opened her eyes, she found her name on the trending list again.

She was all over the list, along with several artists from X Entertainment.

The first hot topic showed #Georgie Clementine And Her List Of Backdoor Deals#HOT!

The second hot topic showed #Georgie Clementine Josh Batton#HOT!

The third hot topic showed #Georgie Clementine Jay Corben#HOT! The fourth hot topic showed #Georgie Clementine Aubrey Quinn#HOT! The fifth hot topic showed #Georgie Clementine Morty Wayne#HOT! The sixth hot topic showed #Georgie Clementine Charlotte White#HOT!

The seventh hot topic showed #Georgie Clementine Dave Wilkins#HOT!

The eighth hot topic showed #Georgie Clementine And X Entertainment's Big Boss Are A Couple#HOT!

Chapter 899

Chapter 899

It took Georgie Clementine less than a second to figure out why their names were on the list.

She immediately tapped on the first hot topic and scrolled through it.

Numerous marketing accounts had shared a post uploaded by Suzie Cobold half an hour ago.

Suzie had clearly listed all the artists that had accepted her backdoor deals on the post, and these people are the ones on the trending list.

Furthermore, Suzie said that she and X Entertainment's big boss were a couple. She could do whatever she wanted in the company because her boss favored her.

What was more ridiculous was that Suzie tried to smear X Entertainment's big boss by saying that he or she was a bisexual pervert. She and the big boss often had group sex with the company's staff. Georgie was not surprised at all.

However, even if she had already expected this to happen, she was still smoldering with resentment when she saw the post.

She was confident that there was somebody else behind this incident, instructing Suzie to upload these posts.

Suzie would never have the gut to do so if no one was backing her up.

Whether it was the mastermind behind these posts or Suzie, Georgie would not forgive any of them.

The post had caused a stir in the comment section. All the netizens, especially the fans of Suzie and those artists on the trending list, had lost their sanity. The whole world was wailing and cursing her company:

"X Entertainment is filthy! Those artists are not artists. They're all prostitutes!"

"The people working for this company look pretty decent, but their true selves are merely trash."

"I swear I'm no longer Josh Batton, Jay Corben, and Morty Wayne's fan. They're disgusting."

"F*cking die please, Georgie Clementine and X Entertainment's big boss!"

"I quit being Aubrey Quinn, Charlotte White, and Dave Wilkins's fan too. I can't believe my beloved idols are such horrible human beings!"

"How can someone be so disgusting? I really am stunned. Georgie Clementine, X Entertainment's big boss, I wish you all to get into a car accident soon!"

"I'm disgusted at the thought of my beloved idol doing that kind of stuff with someone else. Josh Batton, you're heartless!"

Georgie's Weibo account had received 9999+ new messages.

As soon as she opened her chatbox, all kinds of ugly curses and abusive insults came into her sight.

Moreover, her family was scolded, too, because of her.

The longer Georgie spent on Weibo, the more depressed she felt.

Buzz buzz buzz...

Suddenly, her phone vibrated. It was an incoming call from Suzie.

Georgie could not help frowning when she picked up the call.

"How do you feel, Chief Clementine? You asked for this, aren't you?" Suzie teased sarcastically.

Georgie immediately pulled away from her phone, intending to tap on the 'record' icon...

Nevertheless, Suzie hung up the call as soon as she finished her sentence.

She did not even give Georgie a chance to record their conversation.

Georgie was going to rebuke as she felt so mad after seeing that nonsense. Who knew that Suzie would hang up on her.

She could only swallow her wrath and frustration now, and that irritated her.

Suzie was definitely the most arrogant girl Georgie had ever met in her life.

Why would she promote such an ingrate in the first place? Georgie Clementine could not stop questioning herself.

Buzz buzz buzz...

Right at this moment, her phone vibrated again.

Seeing that it was a call from the head of the public relations department, Annie Stallard, Georgie immediately picked it up. "Yes, Annie?"

"There's indeed someone behind Suzie Cobold. He's the Sun-N-Shine Entertainment's president, Dylan Brown! Besides, I found that he has been secretly buying those marketing accounts on Weibo to attack our artists in the future."

Georgie frowned at the mention of Sun-N-Shine Entertainment.

Dylan came from a privileged and wealthy background. His father was a real mover and shaker, with vast connections and significant influence in the industry.

Hence, he had absolutely no regard for the others, alive or dead. He would just crush anyone who he considered as an offense to his eye.

This was not the first time he tried to play dirty against X Entertainment. The two companies were always competing with each other. Therefore, Georgie was not surprised to hear his name at all.

More and more artists from X Entertainment were getting popular nowadays. Most of the job opportunities were given to them.

It was the right time for him to attack them indeed.

"I had someone tail after Suzie as you requested earlier. We discovered that she was with Dylan Brown in a private club last night," Annie added. "Alright. Got it," Georgie replied calmly.

"I've gotten some pictures of Suzie and Dylan walking out of the club intimately. They might be useful. By the way, the artists involved in the dispute are losing their endorsement for the brands. A lot of companies have contacted us to terminate their contracts."

"Okay, send me the pictures. Right now, I want you to publish all the evidence of her being a diva and then use the company's official Weibo page to clarify ourselves. Oh right, contact the lawyer to sue Suzie. Make sure she receives the letter from the law firm today," Georgie ordered without hesitation, her expression indifferent and her tone all serious.

"Got it, Chief Clementine."

"By the way, ask those artists to share the post once it's ready. They have to sound as determined as possible," Georgie reminded earnestly.

"Okay, Chief Clementine. I know what to do. What about the pictures of Suzie and Dylan?"

"Leave them aside for now. I have a great use for it." Georgie snorted coldly, looking confident and optimistic.

Subsequently, she hung up the phone and sat up on the bed. She leaned against the bed head and refreshed the homepage over and over again. The red, diamond-encrusted nail on her thumb made a soft crisp every time she tapped the screen.

About ten minutes later, a video posted by X Entertainment's official page appeared on her homepage.

Georgie played the video right away.

The first thing that came into her view was Suzie insulting her assistant in the underground garage. She pointed at her assistant arrogantly and yelled, "Let me tell you. I'm going to rest because I want to rest. You're just a useless assistant. You don't have the right to instruct me to do this and that! So what if the staff has set up the scene? So what if everything is ready? Their efforts will be wasted if I quit shooting but so what? They're none of my business!"

The scene then shifted to the shooting site of the drama series Forever Love. Suzie was threatening the director, Ken Gladwell, in the video.

"Director, I really don't like that girl. I'm going to quit this drama if you don't find someone else to replace her."

Following that statement, Suzie turned around and left the shooting site with her nose in the air.
