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
Wasn’t this way too amazing?After looking at Sharon Lindt next to her, Xyla Quest then held Sharon’s hand tightly before turning to look at Tina. “Oh, right. Idol, this is my mother-in-law… I forgot to introduce you two earlier…” Xyla said.When Sharon heard this, she immediately extended her hand to Tina and smiled. “Nice to meet you… Tina… To be honest, I’m your fan… I really like your designs…”Tina was Sharon’s favorite designer.Back then, Sharon even offered a hefty price during a jewelry auction to purchase Tina’s work.Sharon was always curious about how this designer looked.She didn’t think she’d be fortunate enough to meet this designer one day…She was even able to have a conversation with this designer.All this was thanks to her darling daughter-in-law.Her daughter-in-law was practically the best blessing from god!Tina immediately held Sharon’s hand affectionately. “Nice to meet you… I’ve read about you on the list of hot topics… You’re the best mother-in-law
Tina smiled happily. “Okay… As long as you persist in this industry, you’ll become a legend,” she said.Xyla Quest shrugged nonchalantly. “I don’t want a lot. I just hope to continue developing in this industry…”“You have such a humble personality. You’re also pretty and capable. It’d be difficult for you not to become a legend,” Tina said.Sharon Lindt didn’t interrupt. Instead, she kept nodding in agreement with Tina’s perspectives.Tina knew the right things to say. She should write a book.“You’re too kind. Oh, right. How did you get to know Helen?” Xyla was also very curious about this.“Because she admires me, she kept investigating me. After that, she managed to find my house through an unknown method. She wanted me to accept her as my student… But I refused,” Tina said seriously.“I see… Could we have dinner together tonight?” Xyla asked.“Of course, we must…” Tina said without hesitation.“Hmm… Where would you like to eat? I’ll take you there,” Xyla said.“I’m fine
The necklace in the picture was hung on a black necklace display stand.The chain was made of a very thin platinum clavicle chain.A tassel pendant made of sapphire dangled below the chain…In the lowest part of the tassel pendant, sapphire stars and a moon dangled.Even with the low-profile appearance, there was luxury and freshness…In the lower-right corner of the display stand was a white card with a series of English words written on it. In Country Z’s language, it was translated as ‘Romance of Stars and Moon’.Tina’s signature was in the lower-right corner of Romance of Stars and Moon.Xyla Quest and Sharon Lindt were instantly stunned by how beautiful this necklace was!Xyla, especially… She was utterly shocked by Tina’s design.After that, Xyla quickly browsed through Tina’s other designs.Each of them gave her and Sharon a huge surprise. They were both very taken aback.There were a total of twenty-five pictures in the album.After going through the pictures, Xyla
Xyla Quest instantly held her forehead helplessly and tapped on it to have a look…Marketing accounts shared various screenshots.In the screenshots, many people were using words to reenact the entire conflict between Xyla and Helen.They also depicted how Tina later showed up and pointed out that Xyla was Sunny.The entire comment section went wild.Netizens once again started spamming—“Xyla has way too many talents… She’s practically the boss in everything!”“No wonder Stanley likes her so much! Who wouldn’t like a woman like her?”“I’m too poor to go to a jewelry showcase like that, and I couldn’t personally witness all of this. What a shame…”“Although I couldn’t witness that scene in person, I feel great just reading about it. Xyla is so cool!”“I want to see how badly Helen was humiliated back then. Ahh! Sunny! It’s Sunny!”“Even the god-like figure in the jewelry industry, Tina, stepped forward to compliment Xyla. She even said she liked Xyla’s work. Xyla, you’re awe
Right then, somebody opened the door from the outside…Bailey Ronson carried all sorts of medicine and walked up to Mary Sullivan’s bed before sitting down.Gently, Bailey placed the medicine on the nightstand. After that, she looked at Mary with a pitiful look in her eyes. “Turn around… I’ll rub some medicine on you…”Mary nodded gently. After that, she carefully flipped around.Although Mary was already cautious, the intense pain still spread through her back in an instant.Her back had the worst wounds on her entire body.If she lay still, things would have been better. However, even if she moved the slightest bit, it’d be awful.In the moment of pain, Mary missed Emily Quest even more dearly.In fact, she wished Emily could come back to life and kill Xyla Quest!Who made Mary suffer through all this?Wasn’t it all because of Xyla?Bailey didn’t say anything. Instead, she carefully unbuttoned Mary’s white robe.Soon, Mary’s back and legs that looked like a bloody mess ap
“After beating you up, Linda Jerome’s father brought her over… On the surface, they said they wanted to apologize to your father, but the things they said hinted to your father that you were wrong and that you deserved it…” Bailey Ronson said.“To be honest, how were they even apologizing? They were here to add fuel to the fire… When your father heard what they said, he was enraged. He even kept saying that Linda did well for beating you up…” Bailey added.When Mary Sullivan heard this, she felt furious for no reason…‘So this was what happened!’ she thought.“Linda sure knows how to play this game! What a cunning b*tch…” Mary said.“That’s right. Even if you were wrong, she didn’t have to do this to you, did she?” Bailey snorted coldly.Now, Bailey truly felt sorry for her daughter. Her heart ached so badly that she was going mad…Right then, the door was pushed open from the outside.Tony Sullivan’s cold face appeared by the door.When Bailey and Mary saw him, their bodies s
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.
