Chapter 709


    Suddenly, everyone Josh Batton had ever worked with before seemed to have vanished into thin air.


    None of them came out to speak up for him.


    The person who sabotaged Josh must have been unusually powerful to influence so many well-


    known people to speak against Josh.


    “Knock, knock, knock—”


    Right then, X Quest could hear someone knocking on the door frantically.


    “Come in…” X looked at the door.


    Very quickly, the door opened.


    Georgie Clementine came in and walked over to X hastily in her high heels…


    “There’s someone else behind this…” Georgie said with a frown.


    “Who is it?” X asked.


    “Shawn Gilbert…” Georgie said.


    “Him? Did Josh do anything to offend him?” X asked.


    Shawn Gilbert…


    He was the son of someone who governed a district in the country.


    Shawn was already a middle-aged man, and he had been quite actively investing in drama series


    and films within the entertainment industry.


    He was quite famous in the entertainment industry too.


    “Hmm… I just asked Josh about it. He said that the man had been trying to flirt with him some time


    ago on WeChat. He tried to make Josh his male escort… Josh rejected him…” Georgie said.


    “I can’t believe something like this happened.” X snorted coldly.


    Georgie nodded. “Yeah… After Josh rejected him, he didn’t tell anyone else about it because he


    found it rather embarrassing. I only asked him a while ago, and that’s when he told me…


    “Josh also said that Shawn texted him on WeChat today just as he left the police station. Shawn


    told Josh that he would have to give in if he wanted all of this to end. Otherwise, Shawn would make


    Josh disappear from the entertainment industry for good…” Georgie added.


    Georgie felt very angry when she talked about this.


    “Make Josh disappear for good? Based on his capabilities?” X found it very funny.


    If the Batton family was involved, she wondered who’d disappear for good.


    By then, Shawn might not be the only affected person, but even his father’s position would be


    affected.


    “What did Josh say?” X asked.


    “Josh said that he told Shawn to go screw himself…” Georgie said.


    X felt pleased with the answer.


    She immediately showed Georgie her thumb. “Way to go, Josh.”


    “Beep, beep, beep…” Right then, Georgie’s phone started ringing.


    When she saw that it was a call from the receptionist, Georgie immediately picked up.


    “Chief, there’s a man here by the name of Shawn Gilbert. He would like to see you…”


    When Georgie heard that, she immediately covered the phone and looked at X. “Shawn is


    here…”


    X decisively stood up and walked over to Georgie before picking the phone up. “Show him to my


    office…”


    After saying that, X hung up the phone.


    She wanted to see what Shawn was up to.


    After that, X tugged at Georgie’s hand and walked her over to the couch. They sat down and


    waited for Shawn.


    When Georgie saw a pot of hot tea on the coffee table, she slowly poured X and herself a cup of


    tea each…

    Very soon, the door opened.


    Shawn walked in.


    He was a middle-aged man. Apart from being bald, he also had a beer-belly.


    X felt disgusted by the sight of his face.


    Shawn seemed very arrogant when he looked at X and Georgie. “One of you is the CEO, and


    the other is the president, right?” he asked.
