“You’re really smart.” Without needing her to say more, he already understood her thoughts.
Her intelligence was far greater than her looks.
Knowing that he understood, she smiled. “You’re smart too. Many things can be easily exposed. Being able to become the right-hand man of a mafia boss at such a young age is not easy as well.”
This man was superior in both looks and intelligence.
He was destined to shine in every aspect of his life.
She figured, if he would tread on the right path and become a lawful businessman, he would definitely conquer the markets with much ease. The young people nowadays who were advertised as elite entrepreneurs would not even be able to compare to him.
“What are you thinking about?” he asked.
“Just wondering that if you were to do business, what would things look like?” Xyla said.
“You’re starting to imagine again what I would be like if I were a businessman, aren’t you?” He took a long draw of smoke before slowly breathing it out.
The way he smoked was just as elegant. Out of everyone she had seen smoking, he was the best-looking, most elegant, poised, and manly.
It was just like watching an exquisite poster.
Even the handsome male leads in dramas and movies would not look as good when smoking.
“Yeah… you’d probably be the youngest tycoon in the business world,” Xyla praised without reserve.
“Do you think that highly of me?” He squinted as his lips tugged upward slightly.
Just a faint smile was enough to enchant its audience.
“Yeah.” Xyla smiled. “Haven’t you ever considered becoming clean? And start a business or something.”
“You’re not going to try getting me into the entertainment industry anymore?” He asked, looking mildly interested.
“I think being in the entertainment field would be a waste of your talent. The business industry is better,” said Xyla.
The moment she ran out, the police car happened to stop in front of her.
Getting a bad feeling, she instantly dashed toward her car while carrying her luggage.
However, just as she got to the sports car, four police officers immediately appeared in front of her.
One of the officers showed her no mercy and cuffed her hands. “Miss Emily Quest, someone has reported to us that you have faked your pregnancy and tricked the police into reducing your sentence. You are required to come with us.”
Emily immediately glared in the direction of Xyla’s sports car, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
Through a distance, their eyes met again.
One was calm while the other was enraged.
Next, Emily was forcefully taken into the police car. May and a group of guests hurried outside.
And then, under everyone’s watch, the police car sped away, disappearing from everyone’s sight.
