Chapter 825

Xylia shook her head and explained, "All of this happened because of Leah. Do you remember how much she hated us back in high school, Wade? I don't think she would care about what you have to say even if you stepped into the matter." She had already seen how disdainful Leah was toward both her and Wyatt back at the resort. However, Wyatt simply smiled and replied, "Who said anything about looking for Leah?" Xylia was stunned. "Huh? Who else will you be looking for, then? Leah's the one that caused all of this." Wyatt chuckled, "Heh. We can go straight to speak with the CEO instead." Xylia was startled for a second before shaking her head helplessly. "Please stop joking, Wade. I'm already very upset." She believed that someone as powerful as the CEO would not waste their time with a small fry like them. Wyatt patted Xylia on the shoulder. "I'm not joking at all. You'll see soon enough." He then turned to Murray and said, "We're going to Phoenix Entertainment's office." Murray, who had been silently focused on driving, replied, "Of course, sir!" … Phoenix Entertainment's office was a towering building of over twenty stories high. It was also located in the center of the bustling commercial center within the Saint Capital, where every inch of land and property were extremely valuable. That alone was proof of Phoenix Entertainment's wealth and power as a corporate giant within the Saint Capital. All the employees had an air of confidence around them, seemingly proud of being a part of an extremely prestigious company. Wyatt, Murray, and Xylia arrived in front of the company building's entrance. Wyatt and Murray took a detour to the nearby public restroom, while Xylia waited for them just outside the company's entrance. Suddenly, a BMW pulled up in front of the company entrance as well, and a beautiful woman stepped out of the car. She wore a form-fitting skirt and a pair of high heels. Her curvaceous figure immediately attracted the attention of everyone nearby. Xylia took a look at her and immediately frowned as she recognized the woman to be Leah. She did not expect Leah to leave the class reunion at the resort so soon. Xylia then realized that Leah must have arrived at Phoenix Entertainment to secure the deal for herself as she had already made things easier by having a family member working as a manager within Phoenix Entertainment. She mustered up some courage and approached Leah intending to beg Leah to help her restore the deal. "Please wait a moment, Leah." Leah was immediately angered upon noticing Xylia. "Oh, Xylia. It's you. What're you doing here? Let me guess, you're here to show off now that you've become prettier?" Watching an ugly duckling transform into a beautiful swan in real time was quite a heavy hit to Leah's pride and confidence. She wanted nothing more than to disfigure Xylia with a knife. Xylia explained, "You misunderstand, Leah! I've been waiting here for you to talk about the deal my company had with Phoenix—" Leah snorted and interrupted her. "You're still trying? Seriously? Not a chance! Your company's cosmetic products are not good enough to partner up with Phoenix Entertainment at all! I'll have to tell my aunt to personally tell your boss to give it up already!" Xylia's face turned pale from fear as she desperately pleaded, "Please, Leah. Think of it as helping a friend, won't you? "I really need your help to restore the deal for me and my company! I'm willing to do anything you ask me to if you would help me! Please!" Leah looked at her with a mocking smile. "Oh? You'd do anything?" Xylia nodded her head repeatedly. "Of course!" Leah was visibly furious as she stared at Xylia's beautiful face. "Then get on your knees and beg for it!" Xylia froze up on the spot as she never expected Leah to make such demands. "You—" Leah snorted, "What? Weren't you the one who said that you'd do anything for my help? So are you kneeling down or not?" Xylia gritted her teeth with anger as her face darkened. "I'll do it! I'll kneel! I only hope that you don't go back on your word!" With that, she slowly bent her knees and knelt before Leah. Xylia felt that she had no other choice, as the matter concerned the livelihood of her boss, her supervisor, and all her coworkers in her company. Phoenix Entertainment was a massive company, and she did not know any higher-ups that she could go to for help. She had no other choice but to beg Leah. As her knees were about to touch the floor, a sharp voice rang out from behind. "What're you doing, Xylia?" Xylia immediately turned around to find Wyatt and Murray returning from their trip to the public bathroom. She did not want Wyatt to witness herself being humiliated, so she shook her head and replied, "Wade, Murray, you two should leave. I don't want to get both of you involved any further." "Wade? You're here too? What're you doing here?"
