Chapter 1099
“Is our daughter dating the investor of their film? Why are there so many rumors going around when I recently
visited the crew?” Mrs. Mayweather was sitting on a chair next to the bed and peeling an apple. She was really
curious and kicked Mr. Mayweather, motioning him to answer the questions.
Mr. Mayweather responded helplessly,” You don’t have to care whether it’s true or not. We’ll know that when you
ask our daughter about it when she wakes up.”
Mrs. Mayweather reached out and placed a sliced apple next to his mouth. “Can’t you see that I’m curious? You
should go and ask around the industry to see if that gentleman is married, how many people are there in his family,
and how many girlfriends he has had in the past. If they’re really dating each other, then we do have to feel happy
for our daughter, don’t we?”
Mr. Mayweather ate the apple that his wife cut for him and laughed. “Alright, my wife is always right. Okay, I ‘ll go
and ask around some other day.”
Mrs. Mayweather placed another piece of apple next to her husband’s mouth, noticed something, and turned her

Xyla was lying there, staring at them with disgust. “Just how shameless can you two be? You’re actually showing off
your revolting affection in front of a patient like me?”
Mr. Mayweather got up with a worried look on his face. “Xyla, are you feeling any better now?” “I didn’t die, did I?”
Xyla sat up slowly and glanced out the window. “How long have I been out?”
Mrs. Mayweather put down the apple.” You’ve slept for four hours. And how could you go to the studio to film when
you already knew that you’re not feeling well? This will scorch your brain and turn you into a retard.”
After saying that, she asked tentatively, * Xyla, the investor who sent you here to the hospital, you guys.”
“I’m not dating him, and I have nothing to do with him. So, don’t you even think about going there.” Xyla
interrupted Mrs. Mayweather’s thoughts.
Mrs. Mayweather was astounded for a moment. “But how come you two are not dating each other, the… The news
is spreading like wildfire among the crew members…” “Rumors and scandals are something inevitable that all
entertainers in the entertainment industry have to bear with, so why do you believe whatever they say?” Xyla lay
back on the bed and turned her back to them. “Don’t try to come up with any thoughts. He’s totally out of my
league.”
Mrs. Mayweather and Mr. Mayweather looked at each other, and Mr. Mayweather sat on the edge of the bed. “What
does it mean that he’s out of your league? Does he look down on those who work in the entertainment industry?”
Xyla smiled. “Dad, he’s the richest man in the world, the heir of the Hathaways of Yaramoor. Does he look like
someone who would give a damn about your company?”
Mrs. Mayweather and Mr. Mayweather
were shocked.
At the Lucas family’s villa…
Ryleigh was scrolling through her Twitter feed during dinner when she saw something inadvertently. She then
elbowed Louis lightly on his arm, leaned over to him, and shoved the phone up his face, asking him to take a look at
the news article.
Louis raised his head and took a glance.
Ryleigh asked in a low voice. “Are they really?”
“You’ll get to know if it’s true or false as long as you direct the question to her yourself.” Louis fetched himself a
dollop of mashed potatoes and could not help but chuckle. “Aren’t you pretty close friends with her?” “Who are you

other.
Louis did not shy away. “Xyla.”
Larissa was dumbfounded and frowned.” You’re talking about your ex in front of your wife, are you-” “Mother.”
Ryleigh interrupted her and squinted while giving off a grin. “Xyla and I aren’t on any bad terms. We even went to
visit her when she was hospitalized.”
‘Although they’re each other’s exes, it’s all in the past. Besides, it’s impossible for them to get back together now.’
Larissa stared at Louis, and the latter nodded.
“It’s great if you’re able to let bygones be bygones.” She did not say anything else but thought of something out of
the blue. “By the way, Zee told me that your grandfather has returned to the mansion. Your grandfather hasn’t met
Ryleigh before this, so bring Ryleigh to the de Armas mansion to visit your grandfather whenever you have the
time.”
Louis paused. “But didn’t Grandpa—”
Larissa explained, “Zee and I only found out later that your grandfather is still alive, but he got paralyzed in the
accident four years ago and has been recuperating in DePaul Town all this while.”
