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
Xyla smiled. “He just left the industry too soon.”Nathasha Knowles hadn’t been acting yet when her father was acting, and Royal Crown had had a different owner. After Nathasha started acting, her father quit and went behind the scenes. He then bought Royal Crown Entertainment with Nolan’s father, Nicholas. Some executives had left with the previous owner, but her father stayed. He sat in his current position and was mentored by Nicholas. After Nathasha married Nicholas, the latter gave all his Royal Crown shares to her father. That was why Royal Crown was part of the Blackgold Group, but the director was her father. Howard and Xyla chatted. They were talking about something, and Xyla burst out laughing. Yorrick came on set with his bodyguards, who were carrying two bags of items. The director saw him and stood up. “Mr. Hathaway, you’re here.”Yorrick got the bodyguards to put down the drinks they were carrying. “The weather is hot, so I brought something for the crew to cool
Xyla poked Yorrick’s shoulder. “Hey, are you alright?”‘He is a little weird. Did someone offend him? Why does he look so offended?’Yorrick stared at her for a moment and suddenly laughed. “I really don’t know whether you’re actually dumb or you are pretending to be smart.”Xyla looked into his eyes with no expression because she was lost.Yorrick turned around but stood there. “We should cancel the contract. I’ll get someone to send it over, and you can tear it up. I’ll still transfer the payment to you. You’re not the best woman to act with me.”That night, at the Mayweather mansion… When they were having dinner, Xyla pushed her food around, still thinking about what Yorrick meant.What did he mean by she wasn’t the best woman to act with him? He had reached out to her first, but now was he saying that her acting wasn’t good enough?She had never met a man who would treat her that way. Mr. and Mrs. Mayweather sat across from her and exchanged glances seeing that Xyla wasn
