Chapter 1175

Author: Moonlight
Xyla Quest also knew what Adam Shaw was thinking. She also didn’t want to say too much in public.

Instead, Xyla chuckled. “Let’s go to the buffet restaurant upstairs and have a chat. It’s been too long. We ought to catch up. I’m sure this is fine, right?” Xyla asked.

Adam hesitated for a moment. After that, he nodded.

To be honest, if it was possible, he hoped he hadn’t bumped into Xyla today.

If that were the case, she wouldn’t see him in such a downtrodden state.

To Adam, his pride was more important than his life.

He didn’t want his friend to see him in such a poor state. It hurt his ego a lot.

When the woman saw this, she instantly grabbed his hand. “Adam… Actually, I didn’t cheat on you… It was all a misunderstanding…” She said carefully.

Adam found it ironic that this woman was behaving like this. How would he not know why she had such a sudden change in attitude?

Wasn’t it merely because she felt that Xyla could help him recover his former state? Hehe… Such a materialis

    Adam Shaw let out a long, helpless sigh. “I’ll have to start from the very beginning…“Our house went through reconstruction before. We were offered over three million dollars to migrate. After my parents died, they left all this money behind for me.“Back then, Shirley, who’s my girlfriend, and I were in a stable relationship. On top of that, I really loved her too much.“That’s why I gave her my card. After getting the money, she liked going to high-end places, and she liked buying Hermes purses, on top of paying off her father’s gambling debt…“Because I loved her, I allowed her to do anything she wanted. But soon, they ended up spending all my savings.“Although I was unhappy about it, I loved her too much, and I couldn’t leave her. That’s why I didn’t blame her.“After all my savings were spent, I still worked in a hospital as a doctor. Moreover, I also worked part-time as someone else’s private doctor.“Hence, we were still able to get by. Her life wasn’t significantly aff

    Xyla Quest was reluctantly reminded of her past.Back then, wasn’t she also in such a situation when she still loved Tom Sullivan?To make him love her, she had given him everything she had to offer…Meanwhile, her relationship also ended up very much like how Adam Shaw’s relationship turned out.In the end, they were both insulted and tossed away by the person they had loved with all their heart…When Xyla looked at Adam now, she felt as if she was looking at her past self. She was able to relate to all of this for they had experienced the same thing,Xyla also understood how sad and helpless Adam felt right now.After putting down the empty wine bottle, Adam laughed bitterly as he cried. “Tell me… Wasn’t I good to her? I feel that I have treated her in the best way possible.“I was so good to her. Why did she do this to me? Tell me, how could a person be this heartless?” Adam murmured.“Is it wrong for someone to be completely devoted to another person?” Adam continued to

    Xyla Quest wasn’t surprised at all after hearing what Adam Shaw said.Adam’s character was like this. He was so good that nobody could complain about him.He never asked for anything in return when he helped another person.In fact, he never thought of getting any benefits from the people he helped.Silently, Xyla took out a blank check from her purse. After that, she signed fifty million dollars on it and pushed it over to Adam.When Adam saw the massive figure on the check, he instantly shook his head. With a determined look on his face, he pushed the check back to Xyla. “No… I can’t take it… How could I take fifty million dollars from you? My efforts back then weren’t even worth fifty million dollars…”Xyla laughed. “I’m lending you this money. Set up a private hospital with this money… I believe that, with your medical skills and your capabilities, you’ll definitely be able to make your hospital popular. When you make enough money, you can return the money to me with added in

    Xyla Quest had given Adam Shaw a second chance at life.“Tell me, what’s the name of the rich kid who bullied you previously?” Xyla asked.“Cody Lester…”Xyla found this name awfully familiar.After carefully thinking about it, she finally recalled. This person’s father was the owner of the second-largest hospital franchise in the country, Lester Hospital. His name was Cayden Carose.Cayden’s parents were both people who were akin to the royal family.That explained why Cayden’s son could boycott Adam in the entire country right away.However, although the Lester family was powerful, they were nothing compared to the Batton family.Xyla remarked to herself to avenge Adam on this.If Cody Lester offended Adam, that meant he offended Xyla…Right then, the waiters placed the stuff they ordered on the table, including a two-sectioned pot and a bunch of ingredients…Soon, the entire table was filled…After igniting the fire under the pot, a waiter left with the rest.

    “I’m renting a place outside with her now. Since we’ve broken up, I’ll have to move out.“I’ll still need to look for a place to stay for the next two days. Apart from that, I’m working as a waiter in a hotel.“If I want to set up a hospital, I’ll need to resign first. There are a lot of things I need to do.“Resigning is easy. I can get it done at a moment’s notice. However, finding a place to stay is difficult. It’ll take a few days,” Adam Shaw explained in detail.“Oh, I forgot about this. You don’t have to look for a place. I have many houses… I can allow you to stay in one of them for the time being,” Xyla Quest said.“Of course, it won’t be for free. You’ll have to pay me rent. It’ll be five thousand dollars a month,” Xyla added.Knowing her personality, she knew that Adam would surely refuse if she said he could stay there for free.Hence, she decided to charge him some money.“Okay…” Adam immediately nodded.Naturally, Adam knew what Xyla was thinking. He was feeling i

    A red Maserati and a row of black Porsche Cayenne stopped neatly in front of the hotel’s entrance…Xyla didn’t seem like she was about to leave the car.She slowly turned to look at Adam Shaw. “You go ahead… I’ll wait for you here,” she said.Adam nodded.After that, he quickly got out of the car and walked into the hotel with his head lowered the entire time…As soon as he entered the hotel, he saw Cody Lester walking toward the entrance with a group of bodyguards grandly.Cody walked in the forefront. His hair was very short, and he was wearing a loose, oversized, black T-shirt with matching torn, black jeans.He had flowery tattoos on his left arm, and there was a tiny diamond earring on his left ear.At one glance, one could tell Cody was a ruthless man who loved his freedom.As soon as Cody looked up, he saw Adam.Suddenly, his facial expression turned dark…Meanwhile, Adam’s facial expression also turned dark.Adam didn’t say anything. He looked down and continued wal

    “Ahem…” Adam Shaw coughed yet again.Although it was impossible to bear, he still had to bear it.His fists couldn’t possibly clench any tighter!“Adam, why aren’t you speaking? Are you deaf? Can’t you hear that I’m speaking to you?” Cody Lester spoke arrogantly again.Adam took a deep breath, and he tried his best to suppress his rage. “What exactly do you want? I have something urgent to do. I hope you’ll get out of the way…”Cody immediately started laughing loudly. “Get out of the way… Why should I get out of the way? I’m not in a good mood today. That’s why I want to find something fun to do with you.”Earlier tonight, Cody was gambling with a group of people upstairs in a private room…He had had terrible luck.In an hour, he had lost over thirty million dollars…Now, Cody was in a terrible mood.When he saw someone he could easily bully coming his way, he naturally wanted to vent his frustration on that person.“Be forgiving when you can…” Adam continued to suppress h

    Meek as a lamb, Adam Shaw could only lie on the ground as they continuously bullied him.He wanted to reach for his phone to call Xyla Quest, but he couldn’t at all.Within a minute, his nose and face were swollen…Every part of his body was aching. He felt as if he would soon die.The receptionist and the surrounding audience all only stood by and watched. However, due to Cody Lester’s status, none of them dared to step forward.They didn’t even dare to take any pictures.“Beat him up hard! Harder!” Cody pointed at Adam as if he were a dead dog and ordered coldly.Watching how arrogant Cody behaved and being punched and kicked by his bodyguards, Adam’s rage was already at its peak in his heart.He felt as if his chest was a pressure pot that was about to explode from too much pressure.Nobody would bully someone like this!This was too much!Adam really wanted to fight back…However, he was helpless…Outside, Xyla Quest’s head was lowered. She was wearing a pair of earpho

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

    Hannah Roland smiled politely at Lina Cohen. “Nice to meet you… Thank you in advance!”“No problem… Do let me know if there’s anything you don’t like about your makeup too,” Lina said.Hannah nodded. “Okay, sure…”“By the way… Do all the signers here get such good treatment? 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.
