His Son, My Enemy I She was so thin she barely looked human

Chapter 60 In the heart of Jupiton's bustling downtown stood a dazzling golden landmark , more impressive than the High Desert Hotel . This was the Avery Music Lounge . Outside the lounge , a row of luxury cars lined the entrance , while fans clutching glowing signs crowded around like ants . Reporters and photographers were lying in wait nearby . As Leon's luxury car rolled in , a chorus of screams filled the air . The fans kept shouting his name . " Leon ! Leon ! " Some of them yelled frantically , " Leon , look at me ! " A fan cried out , " Leon , here's my letter ! Come get it !

" Leon greeted his fans with a smile before heading straight into the lounge . " Go collect the fans ' letters and put them in the car ," he instructed his assistant , who nodded and left. As Leon pushed open the doors to the inner hall , gentle , flowing music drifted out , and he saw the place filled with sophisticated people from all walks of life . This was a networking event where people traded resources and connections . Leon was both a superstar and a big shot behind the scenes , so of course , he got an invite .

Tessa , dressed to the nines in a glamorous gown , was making conversation on the second - floor overlook . When she caught the commotion downstairs , the corners of her lips curled up in a knowing smirk . Finally , the one she'd been waiting for had arrived . " Excuse me for a moment , " Tessa said , slipping away. Leon was chatting with a producer when he spotted Tessa approaching from the corner of his eye . Because of Xylia , Leon could easily recognize members of the Schultz family . He brushed off the producer just as Tessa walked up . " Mr.

Sadler , what a surprise to run into you here , Tessa said . Leon gave her a cool look , not reciprocating her casual friendliness . Tessa's smile faltered slightly . Tessa was the lead dancer , and even though she'd never starred in a movie , she was a star in her own right- her stage presence and popularity easily matched any top actress . She expected Leon to recognize her . 9:50 Fri , Sep 12 Chapter 60 零 180 55 vouchers I'm Tessa Schultz , the lead dancer . It's great to see you here - I'm a huge fan of your work ," she said .

Leon didn't really know what went on with the Schultz family , but he was well aware that Xylia had lived as the real heiress for eighteen years .. He couldn't help but wonder if , after coming back , Tessa , the true heiress , had been giving Xylia a hard time . " Hello , Leon said , his smile warm . Before Tessa could even catch her breath , Leon's next words completely blindsided her . " I know you . You were all over the trending topics a couple of days ago . Wasn't your sister a dancer too ? " Tessa was stunned . She hadn't expected Leon to remember Xylia instead of her .

It had been eight years since Xylia last danced . Tessa pushed down the jealousy bubbling up inside and looked at Leon . " My sister used to be a dancer , but she stopped because she wanted to get married . She hurt her foot not long ago , so now she can't dance at all . She can't stand to see me on stage - she's always been like that . But I'm used to it , I mean , she's my sister ... " Tessa said . With that , she suddenly covered her mouth , like she'd just realized she was oversharing . " Sorry for rambling ," she added . Leon's smile didn't waver , but his eyes grew colder .

' So she's been giving Xylia a hard time , he thought . " Mr. Sadler , would you mind if we exchanged contact info ? Maybe we can work together in the future , " Tessa said . " I'll have my assistant contact you later . I need to take care of something , Leon replied . Watching Leon walk away , Tessa couldn't help but frown a little . ' Why did he suddenly turn cold on me ? ' Tessa thought , confused . She gritted her teeth , her gaze turning icy . A realization suddenly hit her . It has to be because of Xylial The moment I brought her up , Leon's whole vibe toward me changed .

" Leon must have figured out my connection to Xylia , and with all the bad press Xylia has online , he's holding it against me as well . I must get closer to Leon . If I want to make it in showbiz , I have to cling to this golden ticket - no matter what . " Chapter 60 55 voucher As Xylia finally received the prize money from the designer networking event , she grabbed her bank card and headed to the auction . As soon as she walked through the auction house doors , she spotted Joshua not too far away .

Today , he was dressed casually in a black long - sleeved shirt and jeans , his silver hair practically glowing under the lights . He was talking to his assistant , his gaze lowered with a chill in his eyes . That sharp profile of his was so striking that people just couldn't tear their eyes away . " Keep p an eye on that area ," Joshua said to his assistant , David Baldwin . " Got it . Mr. Garcia , David replied . Just as he called out " Mr. Garcia , " he glanced up and met Xylia's gaze from across the room . " Ms. Schultz ? " David called out . Xylia blinked , a little thrown off .

"Who is this guy ? I don't recognize his face or his voice at all , she thought , puzzled . " Do you know me ? " she asked . David's eyes darted around , then he instinctively glanced over at Joshua . Joshua was caught off guard by Xylia's sudden appearance . He shot David a cold look , and David immediately . turned his attention back to Xylia . " I heard about you from Mr ... I mean , Joshua . Please excuse me for a moment , " David said , practically bolting away . " Oh man , I'm so screwed - 1 actually called Mr. Garcia by his name ! David thought , freaking out .

Xylia frowned , watching him go . Something felt off . She turned back to Joshua , her eyes carrying a hint of scrutiny . " Who is that guy ? He called you Mr. Garcia so respectfully . A subtle ripple crossed Joshua's deep - set eyes , but his expression stayed perfectly calm as he replied to Xylia , " He's a colleague . We address each other that way in private . It's just for fun ." He stayed perfectly composed , like he was just answering something trivial . Xylia nodded , not pressing further .

" Men always have their own little immature antics I'll never understand , but whatever - it's harmless , she thought . Seeing that Xylia wasn't suspicious anymore , Joshua finally relaxed a little inside . 9:50 Fri , Sep 12 Chapter 60 55 vouchers . " What brings you here ? " he asked . Xylia glanced at him . " There's a painting my grandma painted before she died . I want to bring it home . Are you here for something special too ? " Just here doing my boss a favor - he's got his eye on a Venetian blown glass cup set at the auction , " Joshua said . Xylia nodded .

They kept chatting as they headed toward the auction hall . Meanwhile , Sadie walked in with her arm linked through Tessa's . As Sadie kept rambling about her ex - boyfriend , a flicker of irritation flashed in Tessa's eyes . " Sadie , let's be real . Sure , you helped your ex out , but he's not even cute , and he doesn't have any drive . Honestly , he's way beneath you , " Tessa said . " Why get hung up on just one guy ? Wouldn't it be better to find someone who's hot and rich ? " Tessa added . Sadie pouted .

She'd been surrounded by handsome , rich guys since she was a kid - she was so over them by TOW . From across the room , Tessa caught sight of Xylia and Joshua's backs . The moment she laid eyes on Xylia , her temper flared . After getting humiliated by Leon , Tessa was dead set on getting even . " Sadie , what do you think of that guy over there ? " Tessa asked , nodding toward Joshua . Sadie was still in a bad mood , but when she followed the direction of Tessa's finger , she spotted Joshua . Sadie had run into him twice before , and both times Xylia was with him .

Joshua's looks had stunned Sadie both times , but with her ex on her mind back then , she'd never even thought about him like that .. But now , as Sadie watched Joshua from afar, she could see the auction hall's cold lights cast his chiseled profile in sharp relief . Even dressed down in loose casual clothes , that broad - shouldered , slim - waisted frame was seriously eye - catching . " Honestly , if a guy that good - looking wanted to date me , I wouldn't complain , Sadie thought , her heart giving a little skip .

Her heart was just starting to race , but before she could let her thoughts run wild , Tessa dragged her along toward Xylia and Joshua . 9:50 Fri , Sep 12 Chapter 61
