Suddenly, the phone vibrated. The vibration awakened Tom Sullivan.
Seeing that the detention center was calling him, Tom reluctantly picked up the call.
"Hubby..." Emily Quest's irritating voice pierced his ears. Search the (Find) website on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.
Tom's face darkened instantaneously.
He was in a fractious mood. His sleep-deprived brain was going in circles as he was too high last night. A severe headache almost tore his head apart.
On top of that, Emily's 'surprise' call had worsened his headache.
"What do you want?" "Hubby, I have something important to tell you. Cto the detention center tomorrow. We'll talk in person.
"You know what's the consequences if you don't come. By the way, don't ever think of killing me. I've already passed the evidence of you taking drugs to someone I trust. Your misdeeds will be exposed to the public even if I die," Emily added.

However, Emily's warning had rendered him speechless.
In fact, he had thought of quitting drugs because he did not want to be controlled by Emily anymore.
Unfortunately, he failed to do it.
He knew that there was no going back once he started it.
It was simply impossible for him to overchis drug addiction.
The drugs were slowly gobbling him up. He looked very much like a walking corpse nowadays.
Nonetheless, he could not do anything.
He deeply regretted his choice.
Sadly, regret was nothing but a pointless emotion.
"Okay." With that, Tom quickly hung up the phone.
On the other end of the phone, Emily was smirking smugly after hearing Tom's answer.
'Xyla, do you really think that everything will just end right here? You might've lockedup in jail, but you have no idea how many people out there are actually my pawns. Pfft!' Emily mumbled to herself. She then rose to her feet and followed the guard back to her prison cell.
*** Xyla Quest arrived at King Entertainment about five minutes later.
She reached the president's office unimpededly as Sebastian Brenand had informed all his employees about her arrival in advance.
Xyla cto a halt in front of his office and gently knocked on the top-grade rosewood door.
"Cin," Sebastian said from the room.
Xyla pushed open the door and entered the office.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSebastian's office was similar in size and style to her office at X Entertainment.
Sebastian was currently sitting in front of the coffee table with his legs crossed, casually taking a sip of tea.
He was wearing a latte-brown dress shirt with a pair of white pants. The Hermes belt around his waist and the brown Versace leather shoes had added a tinge of classiness to his overall appearance. He looked fresh and energetic.
It seemed like he had already gotten over his breakup.
He had turned into a completely different person. There was not a sign of dejection nor resentment on his face. Noticing Xyla's arrival, Sebastian immediately beamed at her and said, "You're here, beautiful Xyla." Xyla strode across the room and sat beside him. "Why did you askto chere?" Xyla cut to the chase.
"I cacross an interesting web recently. It's called Immortale. I'm planning to turn it into & T series, and I would like you to invest in it. What do you think?" Sebastian told her his plan. "Immortale?" Xyla had read this web before. It was about the adventure of smartial heroes in an immortal world, Wingardium.
It was a well-known web on the Internet, and it had a large number of fans.
This TV series would definitely go off with a bang if the crew managed to bring the original storyline to life.
Xyla knew that Sebastian was not hungry for money. He was willing to share this idea with her because he wanted them to make a success of it together.
"Don't worry. The screenwriter of this TV series is the author of the web . We're not going to make any changes to the story. We'll definitely respect the author. I guarantee you that this TV series will be an instant hit in the future," Sebastian reassured her. "You're askingto invest in your TV series so we can make a fortune with it together, right?" Xyla laughed. "That's right. Are you interested?" "Well, I am." "But I have a request..." Sebastian added.
