He was such an idiot! The memories between the two of them flashed across his eyes. Everything seemed just like yesterday. Nevertheless, memories were merely memories. They could only stay in his mind.
Likewise, Emily Quest was down in the dumps as she noticed the melancholiness in Tom Sullivan's eyes. Following his gaze, Emily found herself glaring at Xyla Quest, who looked exceptionally radiant over the other side. Rage surged up within Emily as if she would swallow Xyla and suck the life out of her in the very next second.
They shared the sfather. They shared the sfamily. Why was Xyla always the one who had a radiant glow around her, while Emily could only be a supporting character? Why was god so unfair? Why couldn't he let Xyla stay fat and ugly for the rest of her life? Why did he allow Xyla to regain her beauty? If Xyla had not becthis pretty, the center of attention at the charity dinner right now would definitely be her, Emily Quest.
Nevermind.

Once her mother-in-law, Bailey Ronson, decided to take her revenge on Xyla, Xyla's reputation as well as her life would be terribly ruined very soon!!! There were many dignitaries and respectable people of Atlantis showing up at today's grand occasion. It would be a great humiliation to Xyla if her secret was exposed today.
As Emily reminded herself of that, her mood was lifted instantaneously.
On the other side, Bailey Ronson was bent out of shape over Xyla's overwhelming appearance as well.
As she looked at Xyla, her hands gradually balling into fists under the table.
Soon, all the guests had arrived at the hotel.
The charity dinner had officially begun too.
The annual charity dinner held by Quest Property Group was more or less similar to the banquets held by other companies and charitable organizations. They would typically invite various stars to perform at the opening of their banquets.
The performance would then be followed by fundraising.
After Jeremy Quest and May Conner went on stage together and gave their opening speech, Jeremy invited the first performer, who was also a newcomer in the entertainment industry, Ava Carter, to sing on the stage... Ava sang a song called 'From Now On'.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe familiar tune and lyrics had reminded Xyla of the last tStanley sang this song for her.
Though Ava's voice was beautiful, Xyla thought her performance was not as good as Stanley Batton's. Immediately, she leaned slightly toward Stanley and said, "I think that you sing it much better than her." Upon hearing her compliment, the man who was originally focused on the performance began to grin and shifted his gaze to her face right away. "Really?" As soon as May heard their conversation, she followed suit and interjected, "Xyla, do you mean that Stan sings even better than Ava Carter? Although Ava is an actress, she went to singing lessons before, and her teacher was rather famous..." "Personally, I think my husband sings better," Xyla said calmly.
"If that's the case, Stan must be really good at singing, am I right? Why don't we have Stan go on stage later and sing a song for us? It will definitely usput ve livemup the charity dinner." As she spoke, she gave Jeremy, who was sitting next to her, a nudge with her elbow, and added, "Honey, Xyla said that Stan is a good singer. Let Stan sing a song for us later. I'm sure everyone here will be delighted." Xyla's heart went cold instantly the moment she heard the words from her mouth.

How could she fail to realize May's intention for doing this? Undoubtedly, she was planning to make a fool out of Stanley on the stage because she was certain that an amateur like Stanley was no match for a professional singer.
"Stop fooling around. Today's performance has been scheduled beforehand. If you want Stanto sing, I'll take you guys to karaoke next time, and you can have him singing for you the entire day. Isn't that better?" Jeremy declined May's suggestion.
"Well, I'm just saying. Forget it if you all disagree with me. I just think that it's a great opportunity for Stan to encourage people to give t give to charity by making an appearance on the stage. Besides, he can bring honor to our family!" May looked at Jeremy tenderly and continued to persuade him.
