“Yeah… Xyla, Stan, your aunt is a little unwell, so I’ll be keeping her company. If there’s nothing you guys need, go on ahead and enjoy yourselves, there’s no need to mind us,” said Jeremy.
“Alright, Dad, you and Aunty take care of your health,” said Xyla.
After that, she turned to leave, tugging the man beside her along.
Back inside the car, Xyla’s phone vibrated. Seeing that it was a call from Georgie, Xyla put on her headset to answer the call as she started the car.
As she turned the car around, she asked, “What’s up, Georgie?”
“President Xyla, Tom has proposed a divorce with Emily, and he was very firm on the decision,” reported Georgie.
Xyla smiled. “A divorce?”
“Yeah… I went to the detention center to take care of something and heard it from the people there,” Georgie added.
Although it was within her expectations, she still felt great when she heard it.
“Got it,” said Xyla.
After that, she ended the call, stepped on the gas pedal, and the red Maserati sped away.
Stanley was quietly smoking beside her the whole time without saying anything. His existence was hard to ignore, as usual.
***
Once home, Xyla was exhausted as she took off her high heels and simply sat on the sofa.
God knew just how tired Xyla was from the homecoming banquet until now.
Toot, toot, toot.
