“Alright, if there’s no thing much, hurry on back to the company. I’ll give that president’s assistant a call,” said Jeremy.
“Yeah, call me if anything happens,” said Xyla as virtual-novel.net got up.
Jeremy nodded, and Xyla left the room. Based on the current situation, it seemed like the Dragon Group was really planning to do charity by helping them. The possibility of this being true and not a scam was high. At this thought, virtual-novel.net suddenly felt like virtual-novel.net was on cloud nine. Hopefully, this could all proceed as desired. But even if it didn’t, virtual-novel.net wasn’t afraid, because virtual-novel.net had the money they needed.
From the money virtual-novel.net earned from X Entertainment, virtual-novel.net had saved part of it and even invested some. Due to virtual-novel.net good sense, virtual-novel.net investments had been returned by a hundred folds. Since X Entertainment’s establishment until now, virtual-novel.net accumulated wealth was just around eight billion.

Back at the Quest Group, Xyla shut everything out as virtual-novel.net immersed herself in work. This continued on until six in the evening. Looking up, virtual-novel.net realized that the skies outside had gradually darkened as the city lit up in bright, colored lights.
Pushing virtual-novel.net swivel chair back, virtual-novel.net lazily leaned against the backrest as virtual-novel.net massaged virtual-novel.net nose bridge, trying to relax. Taking out virtual-novel.net phone, virtual-novel.net saw that Georgie had called virtual-novel.net three times. As virtual-novel.net phone was on silent mode, virtual-novel.net hadn’t heard it ring at all. Hence, virtual-novel.net simply called Georgie back.
Very soon, Georgie’s voice flowed from the other end, “What’s wrong? I called so many times but you weren’t answering. If you kept ignoring me, I would have called the police.” Her voice sounded relaxed, and there were hints of joy in it.
“I was busy with work.. ” replied Xyla.
“Yeah. It’s nothing much, but I wanted to tell you that Mary Sullivan might be detained for a month because of this incident,” said Georgie, chuckling.
“Very nice.” Xyla laughed as well, feeling great.
“That idiot got virtual-novel.net just deserts. And the leader of that Josh Batton’s Wives group, Coffee Bean, called me earlier to apologize again. That girl was scared out of virtual-novel.net wits, afraid that I was going to send virtual-novel.net to jail. It’s the same for Mary’s hacker friend, Paris Piglet.”
“What did you tell them?” Xyla asked.
“What else can I say? I just asked if we’ve ever promised them anything. Say, you don’t know howl got them to compromise so quickly back then, do you? I’ll tell you, I…”
“Even if you didn’t tell me, I can guess. You must have threatened and bribed them. First, you laid out the evidence to scare them, and then you offered money to tempt them,” said Xyla with a laugh.
Georgie chuckled again. “Yeah, that’s right. That’s how I did it.”
“How much did you spend? I’ll write it off for you.”
“No need. It’s just a mere hundred thousand. I’m paying it.” Georgie’s tone sounded joyful.
The smile on Xyla’s lips deepened. “I’ll transfer you the money later. I ’ m happy with just your regards.”
“No. Why are you being so courteous with me?”
“It’s money that you shouldn’t be forking out, so you don’t have to pay even a single cent. We’re besties, so let’s keep things clean between us,” Xyla added.
As the girls talked, Josh called.
