Everyone was browsing leisurely through the jewelry exhibition.Despite how shiny the jewelry and everyone was dressed up, none of them could compare to a fraction of Xyla Quest and Sharon Lindt’s brightness.The two of them were like shimmering beads. Wherever they went, light encapsulated them and made every object and person around them seem dim in comparison.They were both stunned by the jewelry that came into sight.Sharon, especially, was as happy as a child.She kept tugging Xyla along to look at everything around them. She wasn’t tired at all.Soon, a standalone glass cabinet attracted Sharon’s attention.There was a snake-shaped necklace in the cabinet.The necklace was engraved with plentiful diamonds. It looked unique as it rotated around a plastic mannequin’s neck.“This design looks so special…” Sharon’s eyes were glimmering as she looked at the necklace and complimented. Her eyes kept glowing.Xyla nodded. She thought it was alright.After that, Xyla’s gaze la

However, Helen smiled unpleasantly. “You said that if you were the designer, you’d change the style of design. From the tone of your voice, you seemed to be… Quite knowledgeable about designing, aren’t you?“If it were you, what are you prepared to exhibit with? Why don’t you draw something for me and show me what’s good?” Helen added.Helen was very dissatisfied with Xyla Quest’s judgment.From her perspective, an amateur didn’t deserve to point out the flaws of her work as a professional jewelry designer.Helen knew Xyla, and she knew Xyla was the wife of Dragon Group’s president.Helen even knew that Xyla was the only daughter in the Quest family. Xyla’s capabilities exceeded her peers.However, Helen also knew that Xyla didn’t have any accomplishments in the field of jewelry design. Xyla also didn’t have any sources to prove that she was skilled in jewelry design.Hence, when being judged by an outsider like Xyla, Helen truly felt unhappy.Although Helen was running out of

After that, Xyla Quest looked down and prepared to draw.Although she wanted to keep a low profile at first, she suddenly wanted to teach Helen a lesson.However, Xyla didn’t say a single word. Instead, she chuckled nonchalantly.Soon, people began whispering amongst themselves in the crowd—“I’ve never heard about Xyla being involved in the field of jewelry design… It feels like she’s an amateur. Why would she risk embarrassing herself in front of Helen?”“Does this mean she thinks she can draw better than Helen? How is that possible?”“If I were her, I wouldn’t dare to draw these things in front of Helen. Helen is a god-like designer who has been designing jewelry for a few decades.”“To design necklaces with the snake element in a unique way, this style must naturally be used. Could Xyla be able to design something special?”Xyla heard everything that the people said.Although these were annoying to hear, she didn’t care…When Sharon Lindt heard these things, she instantly

Helen simply continued to cross her arms in front of her chest while admiring her design. She was looking for good things about her design.From her perspective, everyone was just over-reacting.‘What’s wrong with these people? Haven’t they seen a good design before?’ Helen couldn’t help but think.How could a girl born with a silver spoon in her mouth like Xyla Quest know anything about jewelry design?What good design could she possibly draw?If she knew about designing and could draw something decent, someone as famous as her would have long started her jewelry brand and entered the jewelry design industry, wouldn’t she?These people were simply exaggerating it.“D*mn… She’s excellent… I’m dumbfounded.”“I’ve just embarrassed myself. Why does Ms. Quest know everything? She managed to draw something good.”“That’s right… I’m feeling dizzy. This is significantly better than Helen’s design. She’s a hidden talent!”Everyone standing around to observe the commotion began discus

Sharon Lindt nodded repeatedly.“Why does Xyla’s style of design look so much like the internationally renowned jewelry designer, Sunny’s…”“I think it does too. Sunny is amazing, and she’s significantly more popular than Helen.”“Yeah, that person is also much more formidable than Helen. Not only is she formidable, but she’s also mysterious. Nobody has ever seen Sunny’s face until now.”“The most formidable thing about her is that she only works with a single brand each year for a single jewelry design. Every design of her jewelry is unique in the world.”“All the noble class women in the world admire Sunny countless times more than Helen…”“Could Xyla be Sunny?”“Why do I feel that their style is similar…”Everyone began talking amongst themselves once again.Although Xyla Quest heard what they said, she didn’t show any emotion in her eyes. She was as quiet as if she was merely an observer.However, Sharon couldn’t stay this calm. She wouldn’t have thought about this if the

Sharon Lindt was even more shocked now…Her admiration toward Xyla Quest grew even deeper!Sharon’s daughter-in-law was actually Sunny!The old woman chuckled. She reached her hand out to Xyla. “You must be Xyla Quest, right? I know you… Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Tina…”The moment Xyla heard this name, she was immediately shocked…This person was actually her idol, Tina!Twenty years ago, this god-like figure dominated the jewelry industry. Back then, all the major jewelry brands fought over her work.This person only worked with a single brand each year to create a single design.Meanwhile, each design would cause rich noblewomen across the world to fight over it.However, Tina was like a rare flower that appeared once in a blue moon in the jewelry industry.She stayed in the jewelry industry for a total of five years, and she only designed five items…Later, during the peak of her career, she chose to go into hiding.Nobody knew why she did it.Also, nobod

Fourthly, Xyla Quest didn’t like interviews. She didn’t like the trouble.After keeping a low profile for many years, it turned into a habit…Xyla started designing jewelry because of Tina…In the later stages, many of her habits were formed primarily because of Tina.This person was a significant influence in Xyla’s life as a designer.Xyla had always been curious about how Tina looked in person.In fact, Xyla’s dream was to meet her idol once in this lifetime…Now that Xyla was able to meet her idol, she was overjoyed…At that moment, Xyla was stunned. She suddenly didn’t know how to react.She felt like a fan who had bumped into her favorite idol in person.Tina chuckled. “What’s the matter, child? Do you not know who I am?”However, Xyla quickly shook her head. “No… I know who you are. You’re my idol,” she said.Tina’s eyes filled with joy. “Is that true?”Xyla nodded enthusiastically. “Yes… I really like you. To be honest, I became interested in jewelry designing beca

“I’m good friends with the bosses of various luxury brands across the world. One of them gave it to me.“Back when your first piece of work surfaced in the world, I already noticed it.“I was immediately stunned, and I thought of you as my idol.“That’s why I approached Chanel’s boss.“I asked him for detailed information about the creator of that piece of work…“However, he told me that he didn’t have your detailed information either.“Also, he said that he had nothing apart from your designs, bank account number, and email address.“Hence, I asked for your designs as collectibles…“Every year after that, I’d ask the brand you worked with to give me your designs so I could collect them and study them…“Mainly, I wanted to study your brushwork and style… After that, I’d learn from you to improve on my stuff…” Tina said with a gentle smile. Her eyes filled with a sense of worship and admiration for Xyla Quest.When Xyla heard this, she was stunned. “How could I deserve to be y

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. Sensing her trembling body, Leon tightened his e

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.
