Right then, an obese, middle-aged man in the last row raised his numbered card. “150,000…” Xyla Quest gave the man a deep look before calling for another bid. “200,000…”She guessed that the man probably also realized what mystery this painting held.“300,000…” The obese, middle-aged man said again.“500,000…” Xyla said.At the venue, everyone, including the auctioneer on stage, was stunned.“What are these two up to? Are they competing to see who’s richer and a bigger fool? Hahaha…”“The longer you live, the weirder things you see!”“Are they really fighting over a worthless piece of imitated art?”“Isn’t this a little too funny? Are they inherently fond of imitated art?”People around them began to discuss among themselves again…Although Sharon Lindt was puzzled by Xyla’s behavior, she knew that Xyla must have had her reasons.She knew her daughter-in-law well enough.Sharon believed that her daughter-in-law must’ve seen through something that’s hidden in the painting.

Xyla Quest then gently reached for Sharon Lindt’s hand.Sharon smiled. “I know that you have your reasons.”Instantly, the entire lobby was silent…Right then, the obese, middle-aged man walked up to Xyla. “Lady… After this, may I admire this painting of yours for a moment?” he asked.Xyla smiled at the man. “Sure,” she said.“Do you also suspect that this is a case of a painting within a painting? Was that why you bid for it?” the obese, middle-aged man asked curiously.Sure enough, this man also had suspicions of there being a painting within a painting…Xyla still smiled. “Well… Yes.”The obese, middle-aged man instantly laughed. “You have good eyes. If I had enough money, I would have made a gamble today.”Xyla looked the man up and down. He was dressed in ordinary clothes, and he looked nothing like the celebrities here.It looked like he was here to purchase auction items on behalf of his boss. He was not some famous, powerful, or rich individual. Indeed, he didn’t seem

Everyone just watched Clarence Steele from a distance while he carefully took the painting apart.After about an hour, the two paintings were completely separated—The painting of the golden wheat field beneath the original painting was now in full display before Clarence’s eyes.After careful inspection of the painting, Clarence carefully picked it up and showed it to the crowd. “This… This is a real work of Van Gogh! All the details are the same as the real pieces of art from Van Gogh!” he said excitedly.Clarence's words, as well as the object in his hand, stunned everyone at once.Xyla Quest was the only one who seemed calm and collected with no ripples of emotions in her eyes.In the crowd, she looked like a white peony that couldn’t be tainted by dust. She was both pretty and elegant…“This really does seem like the work of Van Gogh… It doesn’t look any different from his other works…” “This style… This method of using colors. If this wasn’t Van Gogh, who could it be?”

Xyla Quest was quite pleased with this price.She instantly smiled. “Alright, deal.”“She bought the crappy painting with 2.3 million. It turns out that there’s actually a genuine Van Gogh painting hidden behind it. She even managed to sell it at a high price of 150 million. Isn’t that crazy?”“Pretty lady, you have good eyes… I’ll apologize.”“I’ll apologize, too. I’m the dumb one… Not you.”The people around Xyla began to sigh after that…Everyone’s eyes were filled with admiration when they looked at her.Each of them regretted not participating in the bid.Xyla smiled. “It’s fine… Your reaction is entirely normal,” she said.“Can I make the purchase using a check?” Wagner Wolfe smiled and asked.“Sure,” Xyla answered decisively.After that, Wagner cheerfully retrieved an empty check from his wallet. He wrote down 150 million on the check and handed it to Xyla.Xyla had a satisfied smile upon her face. After that, she put the check into the Chanel bag she carried.Havin

As always, she had heavy makeup on, and she behaved very flamboyantly.As soon as Tom turned around, he saw Xyla.Xyla was beautiful and attractive. Her entire body seemed to be glowing. Although many passersby surrounded her, none of them looked as good as she did.After not seeing Xyla for a long time, she seemed even more beautiful. The confidence and calmness in her eyes had grown significantly.Tom heard that she had another identity as the big boss of X Entertainment.Xyla really was outstanding! She was like an unreachable star.Every time Tom saw Xyla, he felt an immense feeling of regret in his heart.Mary, on the other hand, instantly had a sullen expression upon her face.When M

When the six luxury cars arrived in front of the company’s building, Xyla Quest looked up and saw that the building’s top floor lights were still on.Zack Cassidy, who was waiting at the door, saw Xyla and quickly stepped forward to open the door for her respectfully.“What are you doing here?” Xyla’s eyes flashed with a slight look of surprise.“Mr. Batton asked me to come down and get you directly to the conference room,” Zack said.“Oh… I brought Japanese food. Help carry these up with the rest…” Xyla said.“I know you all mustn’t have had your dinner yet…” She added.Zack’s eyes filled with gratitude. “Ma’am… That’s very kind of you. We really haven’t had dinner yet…”Xyla laughed nonchalantly. “Why so courteous now? I’ll not be going into the conference room. I’ll wait for him in his office,” she said.“Mr. Batton said you must go to the conference room. He… He misses you…” Zack said.Xyla was speechless.“Don’t make things difficult for me… Please?” Zack asked.Xyla no

Xyla identified a painting within a painting at an auction!”Xyla didn’t expect this to get on the news.She immediately tapped on it to check it out…The official Weibo news account published the news article.“Shocking!” Xyla is a hidden boss!”Below the short text was a Weibo post by a netizen named Windy Sheila. The whole process of Xyla identifying the painting in the painting was clearly depicted in the post.From the way the post was written, the person who published the Weibo post seemed to admire Xyla greatly.Xyla immediately held her forehead helplessly, and she then looked at the comment section…The number of comments in the comment section had already exceeded a million even though the Weibo post was only published less than ten minutes ago.“Xyla… She’s really a big boss. She could tell that there was a painting in that painting at one glance! D*mn! Ahhh…”“What else can I say but that I

Stanley Batton looked at the crowd seriously. “Let’s continue…”***At eleven o’clock, the meeting officially ended. Stanley grabbed his phone and went straight to his office…After he left, everyone sighed in relief at the same time—“Whew… As soon as Xyla left, he stopped being gentle. If it’s possible, I wish Xyla would stay here forever.”“Exactly. Whenever Xyla’s here, he’s completely gentle. I still like him better as that kind of CEO.”“‘In that case, I’ll carry you to my lounge so you can sleep, alright?’ Whenever I think of what our CEO said earlier, I still feel tingles in my body. Please carry me!”“In your dreams. Do you think the CEO is someone you can randomly fantasize about?”Everyone discussed heatedly in the conference room.However, Stanley couldn’t hear any of their voices.Soon, he arrived in front of the door to his office’s lounge.After stopping in his tracks, he carefully turned the door handle and gently pushed the door open…To avoid disturbing Xy

Xyla quickly reached for Hannah’s hand. “Is that right? Hannah, you’re amazing…! You’re practically on par with Leon!”Hannah laughed, slightly embarrassed. “Not at all.”“Oh, cut it out. If you hadn’t helped me, how could I have improved so quickly?” Leon chuckled.“I guess I’ve lived up to my promise.” Hannah giggled along.Back then, she had promised Leon that she would become someone deserving of him.She claimed that she would grow with Leon.Without a doubt, she had done it.Now, Hannah had become a successful woman many would often speak of. She earned her rightful seat next to Leon as the CEO of Dragon Group.Stanley also turned to look at Hannah. “Yes, Hannah’s very capable. She’s our family pride.”Hannah laughed. “I was lucky to be accepted by your family.”In fact, Hannah genuinely felt grateful toward the Batton family over the years she had spent with them.They had helped her through all the hardship she encountered when she was poor and down on her luck.Aft

“Hannah, I’ve taken the first step for you. Are you willing to walk by my side for the rest of our lives?” Leon asked, serious.“Yes, I am…” Hannah answered without missing a beat.“I’ll protect you. From now on, you don’t have to worry about a single thing.” With that, Leon placed both hands on Hannah’s face and kissed her on the lips.The moment their lips touched, everything felt surreal…Hannah could feel pink, light bubbles floating all around her. It felt as if all the flowers in the world were blossoming at once.In Hannah’s dark, depressing life, Leon was her only salvation.He was a ray of hope that led her out of hell, so she could see light once more.Hannah thought she would never have anything to do with Leon after she quit school.Even until now, she still remembered how sorrowful she was on her last day of school.But now… Not only did she get the opportunity to interact with him once more, but they also became a couple.Their driver sighed to himself while

Over time, Leon’s feelings for Hannah grew deeper, stronger, and more intense.He had grown used to having her with him all the time.Thus, he hoped she would stay by his side for the rest of his life.Upon hearing his words, Hannah’s mind went blank.What did her dream guy just say?Was she dreaming?Hannah quickly pinched her palm at the thought in an attempt to discern between dream and reality.Her palm hurt. That meant this wasn’t a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfounded…This meant Leon actually liked her! He was confessing to her, wasn’t he?Did her dream guy actually reciprocate her feelings?Never in her wildest dreams did Hannah imagine she would go through such an experience.Excitement jammed her mind, so much that she was rendered speechless.

Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymond’s head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. “Who are you? Don’t you know what you’re doing is illegal?”Leon sneered. “You don’t deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.”Leon’s domineering words made him seem even more imposing.At this moment, Hannah felt as if he was a guardian angel sent from Heaven to protect her.Something about him seemed oddly sacred and heavenly.“Mr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?” One of the men dressed in black asked.“Mr. Batton? Are you Stanley Batton’s son?!” Fear was beginning to spread through Raymond. For one to have Batton as his surname and act this arrogantly in Atlantis, he could be none other than a member of the renowned Batton family.“How dare you address our president by name?!” Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif

Terrible pain ached at every part of Hannah’s body as she collided with the cold, hard ground.The pain was such that all her bones felt close to breaking.

Stammering, she asked, “Mr. Gray… What is the meaning of this?” “What’s the meaning of this? Ha! Don’t you know what’s good for you? You dumb b*tch… You’re lucky that I set my sights on you!”“How dare you refuse my feelings! Not just that, but you even made up a story to deceive me!”“Even when you saw me, you tried to trick me again!”“Do you think I’m stupid? That I can’t think? Do you honestly think I’d fall for your lies again and again?” Raymond went, his tone steadily rising into a furious roar.He then got on o

Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasn’t about to be silent anytime soon. Hannah felt deeply unsettled, so much that she didn’t leave right away.Instead, she waited in front of the bar, filled with hesitance and anxiety.Should she really leave?Would Rihanna truly be able to sort things out?The man was Raymond Gray… Neither Rihanna nor the bar could afford to upset him, lest they face terrible repercussions.Hannah remained standing on the same spot, uncertain. She really didn’t know what to do.Finally, she came to a decision. She took out her phone and tapped open a ride-hailing application on her phone.Yet just as she did that, she instantly closed it. Afterwards, she began pacing back and forth in worried circles, going to and fro aimlessly. Right as she was trapped in her worried musings, a group of people exited the bar.

A handsome waiter quickly walked in and looked at Rihanna. “Ms. Jensen, Mr. Gray out there insists that Hannah should get on stage to sing another song. I told him that Hannah would only sing three songs today…”“He lost his temper and claimed he’d destroy our bar if Hannah refuses to sing another song…” The waiter added. He was visibly trembling by the end of the sentence.Hannah figured Mr. Gray was probably the only son of the new mayor of Atlantis there weren’t many people with Gray as their surname in Atlantis. There were even less people who were arrogant like him. He was the only one.Hannah had heard about how terrible this person could be. He was known to be a womanizer too.Due to his powerful background, he looked down on everyone else. He didn’t respect women at all… Moreover, he had a relatively cruel personality. One could almost describe him as being a pervert.There was once when an owner of a bar offended a female internet celebrity he was dating. He directly hired

I’m surprised we’re even assigned our own makeup artists,” Hannah asked carefully as she wasn’t aware about things like these..However, Lina smiled without answering Hannah’s question directly. She held Hannah’s hand casually the next second, “Come here. I’ll start doing your makeup now…”Hannah nodded…Lina was a very professional makeup artist.

Hannah Roland smiled without saying anything.***Hannah arrived at the bar where she worked at seven o’clock the next evening and walked into Rihanna Jensen’s office.Rihanna was going through paperwork in her office. When she saw Hannah, she immediately stood up and smiled at her. “Hannah, you’re here…”“Here’s the contract…” Rihanna said before pushing a thick stack of paper to the center of the table.Hannah quickly stepped forward and skimmed through the document. She then picked up a pen and signed it…Rihanna smiled upon seeing this. “Okay… I’ll transfer the money into your account tonight… I’ve told our big boss about your situation. He’s fine with my decision to pay your salary in advance. In fact, he even told me I did a good job…”“He said you can sing without worrying about a single thing… If you need any help in the future, do let us know…” Rihanna added.Hannah felt glad when she heard this, and became teary-eyed. “Thank you… Please thank our big boss for me too.
