At this moment, Xyla Quest’s body was completely limp, and her face seemed pale. Beads of sweat began appearing all over her body. Within a few seconds, it seemed as if she had just taken a hot bath.When Stanley Batton saw her in this state, he instantly panicked.All of a sudden, he felt an emptiness in his chest. After that, his mind went completely blank.Ever since Stanley was a child, he’d gone through countless hardships. There were sad moments, and there were happy moments. There were get-togethers, and there were farewells.Stanley thought he was someone who’d experienced enough in life, and he even had a taste of a near-death experience.However, at this moment, he was as frantic as a three-year-old child.“Honey… What happened to you? Wake up!“Say something… Wake up!”Stanley subconsciously raised his voice. He looked at Xyla and frantically called for her.Right then, the door opened.Ron Batton cheerfully walked in with his white walking stick and a cage of parr

Without saying a word, Stanley Batton turned on the car engine. He then quickly turned the car around before stepping on the accelerator and speeding forward…Although Stanley drove at a very high speed, the car remained stable.Under the night sky, the luxurious, black Rolls-Royce was like a majestic horse on the green plains. It was unusually domineering.The air in the car felt almost frozen.Both Stanley and his grandfather had extremely sullen expressions on their faces…At this moment, Stanley wished he were driving a rocket!In the past, he never thought that the car was slow.However, right then, he found it awfully slow despite already stepping all the way down on the accelerator.At this moment, it happened to be nine o’clock in the evening…It was the busiest time for nightlife in Atlantis.There were people and cars everywhere on the road.However, Stanley couldn’t care less.With his maneuvering, the black Rolls-Royce overtook one car after another…By the tim

Stanley Batton frowned slightly before retrieving a golden card from his pocket smoothly. He also took out a white name card with his name on it before tossing it to the Audi owner. “This is money for repairing your car… There’s no password to it. If it’s not enough, you can contact me…” Stanley said.After that, Stanley stepped on the gas pedal and left.The entire process was straightforward, and Stanley didn’t beat around the bush at all.Such a scene thoroughly shocked the surrounding pedestrians…The cars nearby even subconsciously came to a halt…Everyone took their phones out to record what happened…Meanwhile, Stanley couldn’t be bothered. Instead, he continued to speed forward.“Who the hell is he? Why is he so arrogant?”“I don’t know… I find that car owner very handsome…”“He must be in a hurry, right? His temper is awful, but I like it.”“He crashed into the car and simply gave the owner his card… That’s so manly… Ahh…”In the back, a few female car owners couldn

Not long after the respirator was inserted into Xyla Quest’s nose, she slowly opened her eyes.The bright light above her head hurt her eyes. As soon as she opened her eyes, she subconsciously closed them.Everyone who was feeling nervous instantly sighed in relief when they saw this.The vice director, Stephen Harris, looked at Xyla. “How do you feel? Mr. Batton said that you suddenly fainted, and you even started sweating all over… Dr. Batton couldn’t figure out the cause of your ailment at all. Tell me, how did you feel before you fainted?” Stephen asked.“Also, how are you feeling right now?” Stephen added with a concerned look in his eyes.Stephen’s words instantly reminded Xyla about what happened before she passed out.At the time, she didn’t feel anything unusual.Xyla immediately looked at Stephen and told him the truth. “I didn’t feel anything unusual. Suddenly, everything turned dark, and I fainted right away…”No matter how hard Xyla tried to recall, she couldn’t th

“I hope Xyla’s ailment is a minor one…” Ron Batton murmured to himself in a comforting tone.Although Ron knew that he couldn’t possibly have failed to detect a minor ailment, he still had a ray of hope in his heart.Stanley Batton didn’t say anything. Instead, he sat down on his seat once again.Soon, Ron also sat down shakily.The examination on Xyla Quest’s head took a total of two hours.Throughout the two hours, all the medical professionals, including Stephen Harries, who led the team, were frantic.During that period, Xyla silently checked her pulse several times, but she couldn’t discover any issue.In the end, the efforts of Stephen and the rest all turned out futile.Left without a choice, they extracted Xyla’s blood and checked other parts of Xyla’s body.However, they still couldn’t identify any problem.Compared to their frantic demeanor, Xyla appeared much more relaxed. Most of the time, she sat on her emergency patient bed.Even if she wanted to move, a few me

What was the most terrible outcome that this sickness could lead to?‘Was it death? Was it a permanent coma? Or would she be paralyzed?’Regardless of what outcome it was, Xyla Quest couldn’t accept any of them…At this moment, Xyla felt both restless and defeated.Stephen Harris could also sense Xyla’s defeat. He helplessly patted Xyla on the shoulder. “Ms. Quest, don’t be too pessimistic. I believe there will be a way,” he said.Xyla nodded mechanically, but she didn’t say anything.Soon, Stephen opened the emergency unit’s door.When Xyla saw this, she immediately got out of bed.Right then, she felt like a normal person again.She didn’t feel dizzy, and she felt refreshed.When a few medical professionals saw her standing him, they instantly stepped forward to hold her.However, Xyla shook her head. “It’s okay… I can walk on my own. I’m really fine…”After that, Xyla brushed their hands away and walked to the door.Seeing how worried Stanley Batton and Ron Batton looke

Stanley Batton thought he was strong enough to overcome anything, and there was nothing he’d be afraid of. Now, he finally understood that someone like that couldn’t possibly exist.The so-called toughness and fearlessness were only possible when dealing with people and things that weren’t one’s weak point.Whenever something involved Xyla Quest, Stanley would lose all control within a second…Especially right now, Stanley truly felt afraid that Xyla had been afflicted with a rare, incurable disease, and she might leave him forever.In fact, Stanley didn’t even dare to think about what would become of him if Xyla was no longer with him.Xyla was his life.She was like the oxygen and sunlight that he depended on to survive.How would he live without her?“Honey… I want to go home… I don’t like being in the hospital,” Xyla said softly.Xyla didn’t like the hospital because she hated the cold atmosphere and the strong medicinal scent.“Alright…” Stanley replied softly. He casual

Soon, Xyla Quest started silently praying for herself.She prayed that she would be healthy and well.She also prayed that she could stay next to Stanley Batton for a longer time…Soon, the dizziness swept over her once more.Xyla subconsciously opened her eyes…However, as soon as she opened her eyes, the dizziness faded away.Her illness was really strange.Since the dizziness faded away so quickly, Xyla decided not to bring it up.Since they couldn’t discover anything at the hospital, she had no reason to tell Stanley.What was wrong with her? Xyla really wanted to know.How long had it been since she last felt dizzy and nauseous?This was already the third time she felt this way…“What’s the matter?” Sensing that Xyla was lost in thought for a moment, Stanley turned off the hairdryer and asked.“Nothing…” Xyla shook her head.By then, Xyla’s hair was already dry. Her black, curly hair naturally fell by her waist. Under the light, she seemed to be aglow.Her face with

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.
