He carried her out of the helicopter.”“If my husband were half as good as him, I wouldn’t have gotten a divorce.”“Who is Stanley Batton?”“Don’t you know who Stanley Batton is? Are you even from Country Z? He’s the young heir of Dragon Group…”“I wonder if Xyla Quest feels enthralled every day. I’m so jealous.”Although Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton were getting further away from the square, everyone was still reluctant to look away.Each of them wished they could attach their eyeballs to the two of them… ***Xyla led Stanley and a group of bodyguards to a restaurant that was called Straw Hat Fish.The restaurant wasn’t very big.

The pretty waitress carefully led the two of them into a private room.On their way there, she had glanced at the two of them countless times.Either one of them could end up being the most attractive person in a group of people.The pretty waitress had never seen such good-looking faces in real life. They were so attractive that she felt as if she’d be blinded by their light when she looked at them.The decoration of the private room was plain. It only had wallpaper with pictures of Straw Hat Fish and wooden flooring.All the tables and chairs were of the most ordinary type.As soon as they walked through the door, Stanley took the initiative to pull out a chair for Xyla. He then helped Xyla to her seat.After that, he sat across from her.The tiny affection once again nearly caused the waitress to die of excitement.“Order something… You can eat whatever you want,” Stanley said.“Oh, okay…” Xyla smiled before picking up the menu on the table and ticked off what she wanted o

In the next second, Xyla Quest’s heart started beating wildly…“Honey… I really like the way you look when you’re shy.” Stanley Batton’s smile gradually widened.“Really?” Xyla asked.“Yeah. Apart from how you look when you’re shy, I also like…” Stanley trailed off.“What else do you like?” Xyla asked.“I like you in every way,” Stanley said in the most affectionate tone despite his serious facial expression.At this moment, Xyla felt very touched. “You… Stop speaking, will you?”“Okay.”“Shut up,” Xyla said.“Alright.” Stanley’s eyes were filled with affection.Beep, beep, beep—Right then, Stanley’s phone started ringing.He immediately glanced at the screen.When Stanley saw that the call was from the Vice President, Liam Smith, he calmly picked it up.Xyla felt a little bored. Hence, she walked over to the window and looked out at the night scenery as the cold breeze blew against her.Although the night scenery of the small city wasn’t as busy and crowded as Atlantis

After that, she quickly placed the fish in the pot before covering it up with the pot cover that was shaped like a straw hat.After that, the pretty waitress stood nearby and watched over it.Knowing that there was still a long time until they could eat, Xyla Quest opened Weibo again. She planned to read some current news.Right then, she saw her name on another hot topic. ‘#Xyla Quest and her mother-in-law#’…Xyla couldn’t hold back her curiosity.

The temperature in the Quest family’s house was very low. As soon as Xyla Quest walked through the door, she felt the chilly air against her face.During a hot summer day, this felt very comfortable.At this moment, Jeremy Quest was watching the television on the couch with his head lowered. He was wearing black silk loungewear, and his hair was trimmed in an extremely short fashion. It made him look clean and relaxed.After changing into slippers, Xyla quickly walked over to Jeremy and hugged him. “Dad… You’re finally back. I have missed you so much.”When Jeremy heard this, he immediately smiled and patted Xyla softly on her shoulder. “I missed you too, Xyla.“Come here, baby girl, let me have a good look at you…” While speaking, Jeremy gently pushed Xyla away and carefully examined her face.Suddenly, his eyes filled with a look of approval. “Hmm… Xyla, you look a lot better recently…”From the way Jeremy looked, Xyla could tell that he had thoroughly moved on from the grief

“Of course, if there’s anything you don’t understand, you always can ask me about it,” Jeremy Quest added.“Alright,” Xyla Quest said.“Have a look at the stuff inside this document holder and sign it… Once you sign it, the company and all my shares belong to you…” Jeremy said.After saying that, Jeremy picked up a white document folder on the coffee table and handed it over to Xyla.Xyla took the document folder and carefully went through its contents. Apart from a share transfer contract, there were also other messy documents inside.Without going through the contents in detail, Xyla directly picked up a black pen and signed her name on each document.When Jeremy saw that Xyla was signing the final document, he let out a long sigh of relief as if he had been released from a great burden. “Awesome… After fighting hard for the greater half of my life, I can finally retire now.”Xyla quickly signed her name on the last document before handing it over to Jeremy. “From now on, I’ll

Managers from each department, make the necessary arrangements and claim your expenses from me afterward…”“Thank you, President!” All the employees shouted in unison.“You’re welcome. I hope everyone will work hard with me from now on to make the company better… Alright, everyone, let’s all get back to work.” Even when she faced up to ten thousand employees, she was still calm and composed.After saying that, Xyla quickly walked into the elevator…Her bodyguards followed close behind her.She took her private elevator to the president’s office…After pushing through the door, the world inside still looked the same as before, clean and tidy.This office was twice as big as her original office.

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

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?

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.

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.

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.
