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
Xyla had always been someone who would do everything she could to get to the bottom of something. Unless... Yorrick had been toying with her the whole time!‘He wants to play, huh? Let’s play then!’She made the call, but it did not go through, and it showed that the user had switched off his phone. Xyla was stunned for a moment before it came to her realization that he had blocked her!No one had ever, except for Louis, dared to treat her this way. ‘Very well, then. You’ve gotten my attention, kid!’In the hotel suite…Yorrick came out of the bathroom after taking his bath. While he was wiping his hair with a towel, he glanced at the phone on the table. He stood there for a while before heading to the cupboard and getting himself a glass and a bottle of dry red wine. He was pouring the red liquid into the glass when his phone rang. It was an overseas number.He answered the phone, and a woman’s voice wafted into his ear. “Hi, Mr. Hathaway. When are you coming back? I miss
Yorrick lowered his head to look at the $15,000,000-cheque beside his feet. The corner of his lips curled up a little as he said, “So you think you’re good at acting?”Xyla crossed her arms before her chest and looked at him with her chin raised.Yorrick stopped in front of her, leaned forward to get closer to her, and continued. “Do you know how to act like a qualified lover for a man?”Xyla frowned, and Yorrick clamped her chin with his hand. “If I want you to kiss me or to have s*x with me like a normal lover, partner, or girlfriend, will you do it?”Xyla was stunned.Yorrick looked at her intently. Although there were other women who were prettier than her, she had a high;y recognizable and beautiful face. “You won’t. You’re different from those women who willingly offer themselves to me, so you’re not suitable.”Xyla was dumbfounded.Yorrick released her and turned around. As he walked back into his room, he said, “Remember to close the door on your way out.”He was stun
Maisie picked up the contract from the ground, kicked off her stilettos without any regard for her image, and chased after the man while shouting, “Stop running! He’s a thief!”The man was swerving about recklessly at the front while Maisie was chasing him from the back. Just when the man turned around to taunt Maisie, he was kicked to the ground by the woman who rushed over to Maisie.The woman stepped forward and picked up the purse. Enraged, the man got up from the ground and pulled out a knife to stab the woman. The woman evaded his attack and twisted his wrist. The knife dropped to the ground, and she hurriedly followed up with a punch to his face. As the man fell to the ground in pain, the woman pinned him down and called the police.It was only then Maisie arrived. As she huffed and puffed heavily, she took over the bag the woman handed to her. “Thank you.”When she lifted her head, she was stunned. She felt the woman in front of her was familiar. Suddenly, Maisie remembered
When Mindy heard their conversation, she looked at Xyla. However, Xyla seemed like she did not listen to what they were talking about at all.She sighed and walked toward Xyla. “Xyla, what’s going on between you and that person?”Until today, Mindy still did not understand everything that that person had said last time.‘Deal? Xyla isn’t suitable to continue the act with him? Could it be that their relationship is fake?’Xyla lifted her head and said, “Why are you so interested in the things between us?” Xyla reached out for the fruit tea on the table and took a sip. “In any case, I’ve been single since day one.”Mindy was shocked, “So he’s another j*rk?”‘J*rk, huh?’Xyla wanted to say that Yorrick was not a j*rk, but it was a truth that he had a lot of female partners. However, he did not flirt with all women as well. He was rather picky when it came to women, and he had a set of principles that he would follow.Mindy squatted next to Xyla and whispered, “Xyla, let’s find a
Xyla lifted her head and offered Marione a smile, “You know me the best, Marione.”Howard lifted the glass and said, “Alright, alright. Our food is getting cold. Let’s eat while we talk.”The rest of the people lifted their glasses and offered each other a toast. The dinner lasted for two hours. Everyone had drunk some wine, and they had a lot of fun together.Xyla was able to hold her liquor, but when she reached her limit, she would get light-headed.She tripped herself when she was walking toward the entrance, and Howard hurriedly went forward to support her. “You’re not drunk, are you?”She waved her hand and said, “Yeah, don’t worry. I’m still sober.”Howard grabbed her shoulder. “Let me send you back.”Before Xyla could say anything, another hand pulled her away from Howard’s hand out of nowhere. She stumbled a few steps back and fell into the incoming man’s arms. “She doesn’t need you to send her back.”Xyla was momentarily stunned before she lifted her head to look at t
Xyla froze in place, and her gaze was fixed on his neck. And when the bodyguard made a turn at an intersection, Xyla lost balance and threw herself in his arms.Throughout the whole chaotic disarray, she kissed his skin with her lips, leaving a lipstick mark behind, and Yorrick’s eyes dimmed immediately.Seeing that they were already starting to kiss, the bodyguard got the message and accelerated even more.Xyla propped her arms against his body, got herself up, saw the lipstick mark, and quickly wiped it off for him. “I’m sorry, I have lipstick on.”Yorrick grasped her wrist. “Are you kidding me?”“Why should I kid you?” Xyla felt a lot dizzier all of a sudden and covered her mouth.Yorrick realized something instantly and grabbed her by the shoulders immediately. “Xyla, you better hold it back—”She vomited on his pants.Yorrick’s expression dimmed in a matter of seconds. He turned his face away and lowered the window to dissipate the strong smell in the car.When they arriv
