Fortunately, the two children next door were still young. The eldest sister, Elaine, was seven years old,
while the youngest brother, Dominic, was only four and a half. They were particularly well-behaved and
wouldn’t cause any trouble.
“Xyla, what is this?” Elaine had never seen a drone before, and she was curious about it.
“This is a drone, and it can take panoramic shots. We can see very far away through it too.” Xyla
squatted on the ground and taught her how to control it. “Come, I’ll teach you how to control it.”
Elaine nodded obediently as she watched Xyla control the drone diligently.
After Xyla had taught Elaine how to control the drone, she gave the control panel to her. “Come, give it a
try.”
Elaine looked at her and took the control panel carefully. A smile broke across Xyla’s face when she saw
Elaine carefully control the drone as she had taught her.
Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a call from her father. She walked to the side and answered the call.
“Dad?”
“Where are you?” asked Mr. Mayweather.
Xyla replied simply, “I… I’m on a business trip.”
“Business trip? Okay, let me ask you a question. Are you dating Yorrick?” “What? No, I’m not dating
Yorrick.” “You still don’t want to tell me the truth? Both of you were captured by a paparazzo together last
night. The Internet, the magazines, and the newspapers are filled with news about you and Yorrick.
Some of the reporters even have come to me.”
Xyla was stunned. She did not expect someone to capture both her and Yorrick in a photo the previous
night.
She tried to calm herself down and took a deep breath. “Dad, we-”
“Xyla, is he threatening you?” Mr.
Mayweather asked before Xyla could say anything, stunning Xyla.
She hastily pitched her voice low and replied, “How did you know, Dad?”
“I knew it!’ Mr. Mayweather was both upset and disappointed. “How dare that brat threaten my
daughter!?”
“Dad, I have no other choice. Since he can put me on the blacklist, he can do whatever he wants to our
family as well. I don’t want my family to go bankrupt and become homeless.” Mr. Mayweather said
exasperatedly, “Even if he can do that, Zlokovia isn’t his territory, and he can only threaten us at most.
Besides, even if he wants to do something to Royal Crown, he still needs to go through the Blackgold
Group. You….
How could you be so foolish and get fooled by that b*stard?”
Xyla was momentarily stunned, and her expression changed. “He’s fooling me?” “Yes! Do you really think
Yorrick is here to do business? He’s a sly old fox like Mr. Goldmann. You’re no match for him at all. Do
you think he will invest in something that won’t bring him any profit? “What could he get from putting you
on the blacklist? He invests in ‘The Clouds.” Do you know how much money he’ll lose if he puts you on
the blacklist before the film is released? He’s a businessman, and he’s just toying you around. There’s no
way he would do something like that that wouldn’t bring him any profit. Besides, he still has to watch out
for Mr. Goldmann if he wants to do something to Royal Crown. Do you think he’s stupid?”
Mr. Mayweather lashed out at Xyla, but she hung up the call.
She grabbed her phone tightly, trying her best to suppress her anger. She stormed back into the house
and started packing her stuff. The voice of the person in charge talking to the children came from
outside, and Elaine said it was Xyla who had taught her to control the drone. Soon, Yorrick pushed the
door open and came into the house. When he saw that Xyla was packing her stuff, he narrowed his eyes
. “Where are you going?”
Xyla continued to pack her stuff without looking at him. “I’m going back.”
She turned around with her luggage, but Yorrick blocked her way. He followed wherever she went,
refusing to let her go out. Xyla snapped and tried to push him away.
He dodged sideways before her hand could touch him. Just when she lost her balance and was about to
fall down, he reached out for her and grabbed her into his arms. “Who said you can go back?”
