Whatever it was, Xyla Quest would be with Stanley Batton to face everything bravely no matter what.They would never leave each other.After Yaksha had set the table for a few minutes, they began to eat…Xyla and Stanley washed their hands in the restroom before heading into the traditional-style dining room with Yaksha leading the way.The dining room was designed in the same way as the living room.The main colors were burgundy and white…The dining table and chairs were all made from burgundy rosewood.There were a total of seven dishes and one soup on the dining table…These were fried shrimps, steamed crabs, fried bamboo shoots with bacon, marinated chicken feet, pickled fish, steamed chicken, roasted duck, and abalone soup.There was a traditional white lamp in the shape of a lantern on the dining table.Under the bright light, the delicious food on the dining table appeared unusually enticing.As Xyla didn’t have much of an appetite in the morning, she only had a litt
“Yeah, the blood donor I found before is a match to my blood type. I’ll just have to find him again…” Stanley Batton said.“Alright…” Xyla Quest nodded.“Honey…” Stanley wanted to say something else, but he stopped.“What is it?” Xyla asked.With that, Xyla naturally rubbed her face against his chest. Subconsciously, she circled her arms around his neck.She could smell nothing but the light cologne scent on his body. It was captivating…“Thank you for always being with me… If it weren’t for you, I might never be able to live like a normal person in this lifetime… Truly, thank you…” Stanley said.Stanley loved Xyla from the bottom of his heart, and he felt genuinely grateful for her.If it weren’t for Xyla, he’d never have the chance to recover…Xyla shook her head. “This is nothing. It’s what I should do as your wife…” She said.Stanley didn’t say anything. Instead, he forcefully kissed her forehead.The woman in his arms was gentle, pretty, and understanding.She fulfille
While speaking, Xyla Quest picked up her gilt makeup mirror on the table and stood up.She didn’t leave right away. Instead, she checked her makeup in the mirror.Although a long time had passed, her makeup hadn’t worn off at all.It all looked the same as when she first put the makeup on.After that, Xyla put down the makeup mirror satisfactorily and prepared to leave.Stanley Batton instantly reached out and pulled her onto his lap. “It’s so late. How could I feel safe letting you go out on your own, hmm?” he asked softly by her ear.His voice was like a beautiful melody played using a violin. There was a deep yet noble quality to it.Due to the close distance, his warm breath brushed against her ear and neck. It gave Xyla tingling sensations, almost as if electric currents were passing through her.In a mere instant, her heart started beating wildly…Regardless of how long they had been together, Xyla would always be easily charmed by this man.“What’s there to worry about
“TikTok’s popular internet celebrity, Cadence Carmichael, openly shouted out to Xyla Quest to tell her that he wanted to get signed on to X Entertainment. You wouldn’t believe his reason…”Xyla Quest knew this TikTok internet celebrity, Cadence Carmichael.Three months ago, he officially joined TikTok. On the first day he joined TikTok, he released a video of him playing and singing an original song, Poison.With his outstanding appearance and magnetic voice, he became an overnight sensation, attracting over ten million fans.After that, he published a new song every three days on TikTok. Within three months, he acquired a hundred million fans.He became the first internet celebrity to acquire over a hundred million fans on TikTok.This person was 185 centimeters in height.He had long legs, a fabulous physique, intricate and masculine facial features, as well as a body with a golden ratio.Apart from being handsome and talented, there was another fundamental reason why he attr
“As a young female fan of Cadence Carmichael’s, I just want to tell Xyla Quest right now that I’m envious of her! I’m extremely jealous today.”“Ahh… Although I’m jealous, I want to see that Cadence has good taste… Who wouldn’t like a pretty face like Xyla?”“The man who wouldn’t even look at me is a fan of Xyla’s. Ahh… I’m feeling triggered! I have spent a lot of money on Cadence!”After looking through the comment section for a while, Xyla subconsciously smiled gently.“What are you looking at?” Stanley Batton slowly shifted his gaze to Xyla’s phone as he wrapped his arms around her shoulder and asked softly.“Nothing much. A TikTok internet celebrity complimented me for my looks… He even said that he’s a fan of mine… He wants to join my company… That person’s name is Cadence Carmichael. Do you know him?” Xyla asked joyfully.However, Stanley’s facial expression darkened. “Does this kid have feelings for you?” he asked.At this moment, Stanley’s level of possessiveness was off
Who would’ve thought that things might have turned out this way?Xyla Quest was able to handle Stanley Batton very easily.The couple’s routine sweetness instantly made all the single people feel jealous.They were all envious of Xyla!Which woman in Atlantis wouldn’t be envious of her when they saw this happening?Soon, the pretty sales assistant with short hair returned to Xyla with the pair of silver high heels she asked for.After that, the sales assistant kneeled on one knee and put the shoebox on the ground. She then began to change the heels for Xyla.Xyla accepted the heels and put them on herself. After that, she stood up and walked up to the dressing mirror.The spotless mirror reflected her perfect appearance right then.Xyla wore a white, pure cotton halter dress with a white, satin, short-sleeved jacket and a pair of shiny silver high heels.The high heels had a sharp tip, and the lines were designed perfectly.Xyla’s legs were naturally thin. With the contrast
“Did you see how tame Stanley Batton was in front of Xyla Quest? He’s an absolutely wonderful person!”“Why do I feel that Stanley might be afraid of his wife? Oh my god! He’s so rich. Is that even necessary?”“Be a little more confident. Just get rid of the words ‘might be’… Mr. Batton is indeed afraid of his wife!”“Ahh! Xyla looks so beautiful in person! Also, why is she so lucky? I’m so jealous, girls!”After Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton walked out the door, they headed to a street in the distance…Hence, they didn’t hear any of the things the sales assistants in the store were discussing.Tonight, the sky was filled with stars.Although it was already late in the evening, there were still cars moving on both sides of the road…Atlantis was a lively city that never went to sleep. By then, the nightlife in the city had only just begun.Just like that, Xyla naturally interlaced her fingers with Stanley and walked forward.After buying the new heels that she liked, she was
Xyla Quest quickly scanned the QR code and added Cadence Carmichael as her friend.Once that was done, Cadence started complimenting Xyla with all sorts of terms like ‘female goddess’, ‘strong woman’, and ‘the ideal woman’.It made Xyla smile widely.There wasn’t a woman who didn’t like being complimented by others.Xyla was no exception.After reading through his compliments, Xyla went straight to the point. “Let’s set a time for us to discuss your development plan. If you think there isn’t any problem with it, we’ll sign the contract…”“We can sign it right away… There’s no need for a discussion. I believe in you…” Cadence said.“…” Xyla didn’t expect this at all.This person was way more decisive than she had imagined.He was practically as agreeable as Josh Batton was back then.Xyla immediately replied with a cute smiley emoji.After that, she quickly called Dreamland Hotel to book Blue Sky Room One in advance.After the room booking was made, she sent Cadence another
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.
