Stanley’s gaze sent shivers down Sebastian’s spine.
“Uhm… as a strong competitor of our King Entertainment, we naturally… you know,” Sebastian stammered as he explained.
“But don’t you worry. There won’t be a next time,” Sebastian added quickly, hoping to stay alive.
“Do as you see fit.” Stanley remained indifferent.
Having said that, Stanley gave Zack a call. “Inform all media companies that I do not wish to see any negative news on Imperial Prime.”
Sebastian was confused. “Just this? Don’t you plan on doing more?”
Stanley simply took a long draw of his cigarette. His expression remained cold showing no emotion as he kept quiet.

After a relaxing bubble bath and a nourishing face mask, Xyla found herself revitalized and full of energy.
Her footsteps also became lighter.
After putting on a layer of skin care, she sat at the bed to wait for Lana’s news.
She had just taken up her phone when Lana called. She immediately answered anxiously.
“Xyla dear, we didn’t catch him. When the police got there, the unit was already emptied out.
“According to the landlord, this unit was rented by the tenant a month ago, and he just moved out this afternoon.
“The copy of the identification card the landlord had given us was also fake but our people are doing their best to catch the perpetrator now.
“Don’t worry. I’ll get my husband to fully focus on this case and catch that bad guy as soon as possible.”
“Xyla dear, I’m really sorry for not catching that person immediately for you.” Lana’s voice sounded apologetic.
