“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

“Why did you stop! Keep going!” Cody Lester looked at his subordinates, who were stunned still, and gave the order coldly. His eyes were filled with nothing but coldness.After saying that, Cody walked up to Xyla Quest and smiled. “Ms. Quest… I was just teaching this disobedient slave a lesson. You shouldn’t… Ahh…”Before he could finish his sentence, Xyla lifted her hand and forcefully slapped him across the face.Suddenly, everyone was stunned.Although intense pain spread around his face, and Cody was furious, he didn’t show it at all.Regardless of how mad he felt, he didn’t express anything.Instead, he gently rubbed his face and tried to appease Xyla. “Ms. Quest, why are you doing this…? Ahh…”Before he could finish speaking, Xyla lifted her leg and kicked him, flunging him a few feet away.Cody felt even more dumbfounded.Pain spread through his body. Although he wanted to get up quickly, he couldn’t.Hence, he stayed lying on the ground helplessly as he looked at Xyla

When the time came, never mind Cody Lester himself, even his entire family would have to disappear from Atlantis!Seeing how the person he hated the most kneeling in front of him, Adam Shaw found it both ironic and relieving.However, Adam didn’t want to plead for this person.Cody was arrogant and domineering, and he had disregarded the rule of law altogether. Even if anything terrible happened to him, it was his own undoing.The way Cody went mad earlier kept replaying in his mind. Every scene made him grit his teeth in hatred.The huge difference in attitude from before and after also made Adam understand something.In this world that favored the strong over the weak, one could only avoid being bullied if one was strong enough.Adam secretly swore in his heart that he would become strong one day!He would trample over everyone who ever bullied him!Seeing Cody like that, Xyla didn’t feel any emotions in her heart…She glanced blandly at the bodyguards around her and gave t

“I’ll send you to one of my houses nearby right now. There’s everything you need inside… You can use anything you want.“From now on, you’ll stay there…“After that, I’ll arrange for two bodyguards to protect you at all times for the next two days.“If you need help with anything, you can call me at any time.“During this period, you should focus on recovering. I’ll get someone to take care of your resignation procedures and things like that.“As for everything else, we’ll talk about it after you’ve recovered from your injuries,” Xyla Quest said gently and softly. At the same time, she focused on looking forward and operating the steering wheel.Adam Shaw nodded. “Alright… Thank you, Ms. Quest.”***Xyla drove Adam to her peaceful, high-class neighborhood in the city center.After getting the spare key from the property management staff, she handed it over to Adam.Later, two of Xyla’s bodyguards helped Adam up the stairs.Meanwhile, Xyla quickly drove her car back to her ho

Most men would have a strong stance about whose surname their children took after.For thousands of years, an unwritten rule had been set in stone between men and women that children born should take after their father’s surname.Since time immemorial, most people indeed practiced this.This was especially the case for high-status and influential families like the Batton family.At the end of the day, men and their side of the family all cared a lot about children taking after the surname of the paternal side.However, Xyla didn’t think that Stanley and his family wouldn’t care about it at all. This really touched her.“What’s the matter?” Stanley asked curiously when he saw that Xyla was stunned.“Why would you think like this?” Xyla asked.“Like what?” Stanley asked.“Don’t men usually care a lot about whose surname their children take after? Most men wouldn’t agree to let their children take after their mother’s surname,” Xyla said.However, Stanley chuckled nonchalantly.

“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.

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? 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.

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.

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.

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.
