Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 41

"Just you wait and see if I can do it," Xyla Quest responded calmly. She did not even bother looking at Emily Quest. "Alright. If you can do it, I will broadcast myself doing a handstand." Emily rolled her eyes at Xyla.

"Get back to your room right now. You are not allowed to talk to your elder sister like that," Jeremy Quest scoffed.

Emily immediately went quiet and made her escape.

Due to Josh Batton's presence, a huge audience turned up at Imperial Prime's launching ceremony.

By four o'clock in the morning, fans had already surrounded the temporarily enacted stage.

Since Josh Batton had already reminded his fans to abide by the rules, everyone was cooperative. There was a perfectly empty road carved out, which allowed people to walk through to the property development's sales gallery.

When it was time for the official launch at eight o'clock in the morning, thousands had gathered. Although fans were all packed like sardines, nothing chaotic seemed to have taken place. With Josh Batton's popularity, Imperial Prime's launching ceremony became the center of attention on the world stage, attracting crowds worldwide.

As the property development project's marketing manager, Xyla went on stage with a microphone.

Xyla wore a simple white shirt, a light pink woolen suit, and light pink heels.

With very little make-up on, her long, black, and wavy hair hung around her loosely. She seemed like someone who was experienced but, at the same time, kept her dainty and elegant qualities. As soon as Xyla appeared on stage, most of the members of the crowd gasped in surprise. Everyone was stunned by her beauty.

"Welcome to our official launching ceremony. Anyone who makes a purchase today will enjoy a ten percent discount. If you pay in full, you will get another five percent discount on top of the discounted amount...

"Alright, I shall not keep you waiting. I know who you are all here for despite the cold weather. Let's put our hands together to welcome Josh Batton, singing and dancing to his hottest single, 'Sex l-ady'!" As soon as she spoke, the crowd went wild with thunderous applause.

Right then, a sapphire-colored Porsche slowly came to a halt on the road, not too far away from the stage.

In the car, Emily was looking spitefully at Xyla, who seemed to be smiling from ear to ear. Xyla snorted coldly as she murmured to herself. "I'm here to see how you will embarrass yourself."

Annoyed by Xyla's appearance, Emily could not wait to watch her fumble.

Meanwhile, Xyla began walking off the stage as the upbeat music of 'Sex l-ady' began to play.

As she did so, Josh Batton came out from the backstage with eight female dancers, all the while moving to the drums' beat.

With his hair all gelled up and a smoky makeup-up around his eyes, his facial features appeared very distinct.

Meanwhile, his loose white T-shirt had three of the top buttons opened so casually. It was slightly revealing and made him look very sexy. Compared to his usual boyish look, he seemed like a completely different person.

A pair of long, black, skin-tight jeans with holes in them perfectly showcased his long and well-defined legs.

The female dancers around him were all wearing body-hugging tube-tops and short skirts, all in black. Coupled with black high heels, they all looked very attractive.

Even so, none of them could outshine him. At that moment, it seemed as if the brightness of a thousand stars had gathered around him.
