Before she could even finish her sentence, Stanley Batton stretched his long arm and pulled her onto his lap. He looked at the blue-eyed blonde executives and ordered, “Go on…”
Everyone on the screen seemed to feel uneasy due to Xyla Quest’s presence. They exchange looks in silence for quite some time before forcing themselves to gather their thoughts and continue with the meeting.
About half an hour later, the meeting finally ended. Stanley closed his laptop and casually tossed it aside. He then lifted her abruptly and questioned her. “Why are you so late? Huh?”
Xyla subconsciously threw her arms around his neck. “We went for supper after the concert. Speaking of which, I have a question for you.”
“Okay, spill…”
“Did you ask someone to delete some of the comments on Weibo?”
“Yes.”
“That’s so unnecessary. Don’t you think so?”
“Well, I don’t like them,” Stanley said.
“You’re so sensitive.” Xyla rolled her eyes at him.
“I’m the only best match for you.” There was a tinge of tenderness mixed with his domineering tone.
With that, he pressed his lips against hers.
The lovebirds kissed each other passionately as they went upstairs.

Meanwhile, at the psychiatric ward of the municipal hospital, Emily Quest was sitting alone on her bed, scrolling through Weibo.
When she saw Xyla and Josh Batton’s names on the trending list, she could feel a flicker of irritation surge within her again.
Xyla had gotten so much closer with her beloved idol now. She even brought his family to the concert with her. Pfff!
Everything that she dreamed of was all happening to Xyla. Why was god so unfair?
Why did she live in dire straits every single day, whereas Xyla always shined like the sun?
Rage and despair consumed her as she pondered about it. Finally, she exploded and smashed her phone into pieces.
At that moment, the door of her ward was pushed open.
