However, nobody picked up Emily Quest’s call. After several attempts, the phone had actually been turned off!

Emily felt as if she was going mad.

Why did Josh Batton choose ten million dollars over forty million dollars? Did he have something against money?

Or did he have feelings for Xyla Quest? When Emily thought of this, she instantly became jealous, and her face darkened. However, Emily very quickly rejected that thought. Why would a man like him fall for Xyla Quest? There were plenty of other beautiful women in the entertainment industry.

“What the hell is going on?!” Emily mumbled to herself with her fists clenched.

Meanwhile, Josh Batton’s fans were viciously attacking Emily on social medias. It was driving her insane!

If she knew this was going to happen, she would not have shown off so proudly. When she recalled how she had insulted Xyla the night before, she felt extremely embarrassed.

Ring. Ring. Ring.

The phone next to her bed started ringing. Emily instantly picked it up.

“Get your a*s down here right now!” Jeremy Quest shouted into the phone.

Emily shuddered when she heard his voice. Afraid to even speak, Emily hung up and quickly changed into a set of white clothes.

She knew she was in deep trouble.

Within a few days, Emily had embarrassed the family on various social medias for the second time.

Knowing that her dad would not forgive her, she was not keen to head downstairs. However, she knew that she would not be able to avoid the encounter for a long time.
