Xyla stared at the ceiling. “You can take it as a yes.”“I can take it as a yes.” Mindy looked a little confused. “What does that mean?”“It is what it is, literally.” Xyla did not want to explain too much, but she looked at Mindy when she thought of something. “By the way, how’s the crew doing with the investigation?”Mindy replied, “The crew is currently investigating the props. Generally speaking, the props bureau wouldn’t make such mistakes.”Mindy looked incredulous. “Moreover, the real props are only used as decorations. The props master just wouldn’t make such a mistake for the scene between you and Howard.”‘The fake props used by the crew usually look so real that they might get mixed up with the real items, so it’s inevitable to get them wrong if they’re not appropriately allocated. However, Howard's prop dagger in today’s scene is specially prepared, and it’s impossible for things to go wrong.‘Unless…’Mindy was shocked. “Could someone have replaced the fake prop wit
Mr. Mayweather turned his head and asked with a slightly puzzled expression, “May I know...”Xyla faltered. “He is… an investor of our crew. He must’ve come to pay me a visit.”Everything clicked for Mr. Mayweather in an instant.Yorrick nodded politely toward Mr. Mayweather. “Mr. Mayweather, it’s my honor to finally meet you.”Mr. Mayweather smiled politely and scrutinized him from head to toe. “You’re not from around here, aren’t you? I haven’t seen you in showbiz before this.”Yorrick grinned. “Yes, I’m indeed not a local.”Xyla was worried that Yorrick would be exposed and quickly suggested, “Dad, don’t you still have work to do? There’s no need for you to stay here with me as I have Mindy by my side. So go home first, and tell Mom I’m fine. I’ll be discharged after a few days’ rest.”Mr. Mayweather wanted to say something, but his daughter kept trying to drive him away, so what else could he say? He was already relieved after verifying that his daughter was safe and sound.
Yorrick crossed his arms and glanced at Louis at ease. “If I’m not mistaken, Mr. Lucas, you should have something to say to me, right?”Louis turned around and stared at him. “It’s rumored that there are always countless women surrounding you, Mr. Hathaway. So, if you’re only staying together with Ms. Mayweather for the fun of it, I’ll advise you just to find yourself someone else.”Yorrick laughed. “Mr. Lucas, aren’t you married already? Why are you still so concerned about your ex’s affairs?”Louis frowned and explained solemnly, “Xyla is just a friend to me. However, even if she’s just a friend, I won’t sit idly by when I know she’s getting herself into trouble. She’s not one of those women that you often find around you.”Yorrick walked past him and stood on the balcony, and a dark blue pattern could be seen faintly reflecting off the dark suit under the sunlight. He then looked downstairs. “This is between her and me, and it’s not like she doesn’t like it either.”Louis looke
‘She won’t even think twice before deciding to end me!’The doorbell rang.Nathan got up, walked to the door, and asked cautiously, “Who’s this?”“The apartment’s management,” replied the person outside.Nathan opened the door without thinking much, and two plain-clothes detectives broke in abruptly and subdued him on the floor.Before Nathan could say anything, the detectives had already taken out their badges. “You’re Mr. Hayes, aren’t you? You’re suspected of interfering with a filming crew’s operation, endangering the safety of others, and indirectly inflicting bodily injuries. You’re to come to the precinct with us for further investigation.”Nathan was stunned as he was detained.Several reporters were outside when they walked out of the apartment, all cameras pointing at him, and flashes were flaring non-stop. Thus, Nathan lifted his hand to cover his face subconsciously.“Nathan, someone accused you of rigging the props and causing Xyla to get injured on the set. Is thi
Maisie hugged Nolan from behind. “I heard that Yorrick is currently in Zlokova?”He placed his cell phone on the table. “That guy had his eyes fixed on the project between Eastwood Enterprise and Tristan and went there to take over.”She was pondering about something while Nolan pounced on her abruptly. She was startled but then placed her finger on his lips. “Mr. Goldmann, you’ve been loafing around and doing nothing a lot recently. All you think about all day long are filthy and indescribable events.”Nolan held her finger. “As long as I have you by my side, I wouldn’t mind turning into a fatuous and mindless man for the rest of my life.”Maisie raised her eyebrows and wrapped her arms around his waist. “Then you better take good care of your Johnson and your manhood.”Nolan kissed her and unbuttoned her. “The eastern hemisphere has a lot of food and recipes that help boost power and stamina in that department. All you need to do is cook some for me regularly, and I’ll certainly
Xyla laughed because she was ‘touched’. “You would do anything for him? Would you die for him?”Jodie’s face froze. “What are you trying to say?”Xyla picked up the fruit knife from the table and got out of bed. Everyone who was standing outside was shocked. Jodie immediately took a few steps back. “Have you lost your mind?”She touched the handle. “Didn’t you say you would do anything for him? If you’re willing, then why are you trying to avoid it?”Jodie thought that she had lost her mind, and so did everyone outside. They immediately went to get the doctor to avoid someone getting gravely hurt.Xyla didn’t care, but instead, she smiled. “Don’t worry. We’re at the hospital. If I stab you once, you won’t die. Here, prove that you’re willing to shed some blood for your husband.”She held up the knife, and Jodie was very afraid. She pushed her away and ran to the doorway. “Don’t you come near me, Xyla! You’re a lunatic!”Xyla’s wound was still healing. That push triggered the p
Jodie didn’t think that Yorrick would expose her in front of the crowd. Her face slowly turned pale. “Mr. Hathaway, how could you—”“Oh right, I remember you now. The famous socialite from Yaramoor’s Club, the girl who went overseas with the money of rich men while using three or four more rich men’s money for her living expenses. The girl who was kicked aside because she caught an STD and was fired from the Royal Academy of Music. Am I your next target now that you’re out of ideas?”Xyla couldn’t help but laugh. She stopped, however, when Yorrick glared at her.The chatter worsened. Jodie had brought this shame onto herself, and her face was pale when she fell to the floor. Why would he know all these? That was impossible!“Doctor, we should send the woman with STD to the gynecologist so that it doesn’t spread.” Yorrick waved his arm, and the two bodyguards moved forward to grab her. Jodie struggled to get free. “I don’t have that. That’s slander! I… I don’t want to go to the
Yorrick didn’t want to get in trouble. Xyla thought about it and nodded. “Deal.” After a month, it’d be over, so why would she say no?But after a few days, Xyla didn’t see Yorrick, and he didn’t contact her either. Xyla remained in the hospital for a week and left when her stitches were removed. Mindy came to pick her up. “Your rich boyfriend didn’t come to pick you up?”“What rich boyfriend?” Xyla put on her sunglasses, picked up her bag, and walked out of her hospital.Mindy held up the umbrella for her. “Don’t you know who your rich boyfriend really is?”She got into the car. “Who is he?”“He’s the heir of the Hathaways from Yaramoor, the richest family in the world. He’s at Zlokova to discuss his project with Eastwood Enterprise, and when the director found out who he was, he was overjoyed. With Mr. Hathaway investing in his production, the A-listers are trying to work with him for his next film.”Mindy chatted away and didn’t notice Xyla’s expression.The Hathaways f
