Although Mr. Warren was ecstatic, he couldn’t laugh out loud… He could only hold back his urge to laugh.Xyla Quest smiled. She directly wrote him a check and handed it over to him.After accepting the check, Mr. Warren instantly became even more excited.The bodyguards behind Xyla instantly looked at each other…This object was clearly fake. If it were genuine, the man wouldn’t have sold it to her for 500,000. That was because this was an object from the 7th century!Passersby, who saw Xyla making the payment, all secretly judged her for being a fool.When Clarence Steele arrived somewhere not too far away from Xyla, he instantly saw her through the crowd.That was because she was shining too brightly.She shone so brightly that even if she were in a huge crowd, one would be able to spot her directly.Clarence immediately approached Xyla and gently tapped her on the shoulder. “Hello…”Xyla slowly locked her phone and looked at Clarence beside her. A look of surprise appeared

Meanwhile, Xyla Quest, the other bodyguards, Mr. Warren, and the couple with their hair in buns stood around Clarence Steele and quietly waited.After taking a closer look at the bronze mirror, Clarence soon discovered the traces of black tape inside one of the gaps.When Clarence saw this, a satisfied smile instantly appeared on his round face. “Indeed, these two layers of bronze mirrors were glued together…”With that, he excitedly picked up the dissolving agent near his hand and started carefully using a cotton bud to smear the liquid around the edges of the mirror.After a while, Clarence picked up a toothpick and carefully placed it in the gap where he had originally discovered the traces of black tape. After that, he pushed the sharp end into the gap.Indeed, once the toothpick was pushed slightly inside, an even larger gap appeared in the edges of the bronze mirror.Clarence smiled in relief. After that, he picked up a small pair of scissors next to him and carefully inser

Meanwhile, the couple with the hair in buns were also stunned. The two of them looked as if they had been frozen in place. They felt nothing but shock!“Pablo Picasso… His real work! I can’t believe I’d be able to see a real work of Pablo Picasso while I’m still alive!” The man with the hair in a bun murmured to himself. While he stared at the painting of a deity, he couldn’t help but take a few steps forward…“That’s right… I really can’t believe it…” Mr. Warren was now close to tears.“Ms. Quest, this painting can be sold for at least six to seven billion… In fact, at a higher range, even eight billion is possible… Pablo Picasso’s works cost a fortune… As long as you’re willing to sell it, people would spend any amount to buy it,” Clarence Steele looked at Xyla Quest and said.Mr. Warren felt that he was being suffocated yet again.In the next second, he raised his hand and slapped himself twice. “Sh*t! I’m a fool!”After saying that, he stomped his foot on the ground.“Mr. Wa

“Miss… I’d like to ask… Can you return this painting to me?” Mr. Warren really was feeling reluctant to let it go!“You even told me to abide by the rule earlier. For someone who knows about rules so well, are you going against it now?” Xyla Quest said once again.“That’s right. You’re someone who knows the rule so well. You shouldn’t be doing this…” Clarence Steele couldn’t resist mocking him.Mr. Warren wanted to speak, but he couldn’t. Tears started rolling down his cheeks…Meanwhile, the couple with their hair in buns also had a jealous look in their eyes when they looked at the painting.“Pretty lady, could you sell this painting to me at a low price?” The male boss asked carefully.“No…” Xyla said.“Who do you think you are? Why should she sell it to you at a low price?” Clarence asked.The male boss didn’t dare to say anything else…The only thing was that his level of admiration toward Xyla had practically skyrocketed…In the next second, he directly walked up to Xyla

Clarence Steele had a unique perspective, and his professional knowledge was very solid.Most importantly, he seemed to be a relatively honest and straightforward person.Hence, Xyla Quest was very willing to hire him. Once her antique company was established, she would need a trustworthy right-hand man.Even if she hadn’t coincidentally bumped into him today, she would also look for him when she established her antique company.Clarence instantly nodded. “Alright… I’ll definitely come over when the time comes. This painting is precious. You should either hang it up at home or just sell it. It’s not safe to carry it around in your hands,” Clarence said.“I’ll just sell it somewhere…” By doing so, Xyla would have enough money to establish her antique company.“Alright… I’ll bring you somewhere in front. There’s a large antique store… They will certainly buy it. In fact, they would offer a high price.” Clarence passionately guided Xyla forward.Due to his plump figure, the flesh o

To an antique enthusiast, the real work of Pablo Picasso was something one could only dream of.The only existing pieces had all been acquired by museums worldwide, and all of them were not for sale.After that, Xavier York carefully brought the painting that was folded neatly over to the counter. He then gently unfolded it.A lifelike painting of a deity came to view. Xavier was shocked.This…This style of drawing and the handwriting!Who else could this have come from if not Pablo Picasso?Xavier instantly looked up and hard at Xyla Quest…The moment their eyes met, Xyla smiled. After that, she walked over to the counter with Clarence Steel.The two of them placed their hands on the counter and silently admired the divine work on the counter.Xavier seemed incredibly excited when he picked up the magnifying glass. He then started carefully examining the painting in front of him.The longer he looked at it, the more certain he was that this was genuine. The more certain he

“Young friend, from where did you get this painting?” Xavier York’s eyes were filled with curiosity. “Pablo Picasso’s real works are extremely rare. It’s not easy for ordinary people to get them.”“I got lucky at the market…” Xyla Quest said.She didn’t feel the need to explain the details. After all, she wasn’t all that close to this person.“You’re too amazing. Where did you get it? It couldn’t possibly be from these three, right?” Xavier pointed at the three people by the door.Mr. Warren instantly nodded…After that, Mr. Warren explained the entire incident of how Xyla bought the antique from him to Xavier. Whenever he described something, he would feel pain as if a needle was poking his heart.After listening to the explanation, Xavier was directly shocked.Yesterday, he even saw on Weibo how Xyla had managed to grab a good deal at an auction.In the news, it was said that she had managed to identify a painting within a painting…Today, she actually managed to get lucky w

“We still don’t have a clue for now…” Zack Cassidy said over the phone.“In that case, have we found out who killed those people on the cruise ship on the day of Dragon Group’s seventieth anniversary?” Stanley Batton asked again.“No…” Zack sounded a little dejectedly.“Understood… Keep an eye on them and make sure they quickly get to the bottom of this,” Stanley added.When Xyla Quest heard these things, she felt immensely disappointed on the inside…Noticing the look of disappointment upon Xyla’s face, Stanley affectionately caressed her face. He directly hung up the phone.He extended his arm and pulled her onto his lap. Just like how one treaded a noble and obedient Persian cat, he started gently stroking her head. “Don’t worry. We’ll discover the truth…”Xyla nodded a little. “Hmm…”“I heard that you discovered a real work of Pablo Picasso at the antique market. Is that true?” Stanley asked.When this incident was mentioned, Xyla’s mood suddenly became much better.“Who

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. There were many things she wanted to say, and yet, she couldn’t utter a single word.Her heartbeat increased rapidly, and her entire body began to shake.

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. Everywhere hurt badly.At that moment, Hannah felt like a fragile doll made of clay that had been forcefully slammed hard against the ground until it broke into small pieces.Her mind went blank from the stinging agony.She braced herself and looked at the cold eyes staring back at her, filled with terror. 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. Raymond Gray, dressed in black, sporty attire, led all of them in a flamboyant manner.

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. She took an hour to finish Hannah’s makeup.An hour later, Hannah’s appearance transformed completely.Lina permed Hannah’s long, black hair into natural-looking curls.Hannah had intricate peach-colored makeup on her face which made her appear lively and youthful.Once Lina was done with Hannah’s makeup, she happily retrieved a long, white dress from a clothes

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.
