Chapter 1289

Author: Moonlight
Everyone looked shocked.

Although everybody knew that Stanley Batton was a doting husband, this was the first time they saw Stanley feeding Xyla Quest during a meeting.

They had never seen this gentle side of him…

Xyla’s pupils widened as looked at Stanley when she heard sounds while being immersed in her game.

After that, she looked at his phone…

At that moment, a look of shock appeared in her eyes. “Can’t you focus on your meeting?”

Seeing how everyone’s eyes were widened in shock on the screen, Xyla felt terribly embarrassed…

“Drink the soup, don’t mind me…” Stanley said before bringing another spoonful of chicken soup to Xyla’s mouth.

Xyla subconsciously drank the chicken soup. “I’ll drink it myself… I’ll be done soon…”

“Be good. You need to drink the chicken soup while it’s warm. Once it gets cold, it won’t taste good anymore…” Stanley said.

“Can you be more aware of how other people feel?” Xyla asked.

With that, Xyla glanced at the people on the screen embarrassedly.

    The person who came was Sharon Lindt…She was holding a red, square jewelry box with golden velvet linings.Once the door was opened, Sharon immediately scratched her head awkwardly when she saw Xyla Quest. “I’m sorry. I forgot to knock… Let me do that again…”Sharon honestly forgot to knock. That was very impolite! It was also very awkward!‘Ahh…’Xyla chuckled while she slowly sat up on the bed. “Mom… It’s okay… Come here, quick.”Sharon instantly walked over to the bed and placed the red jewelry box with golden velvet linings in Xyla’s hand. “I bought this set of jewelry for you last night. See if you like it…“It was very late when I bought it. I wanted to come here and deliver it to you, but I was afraid you might be asleep already. That’s why I’m here in the morning.“When I arrived, Stan was making breakfast downstairs. He told me that you’re probably awake and that I should come and look for you on my own,” Sharon added.With that, Sharon carefully opened the box…A s

She looked at her reflection in the mirror…The mirror inlaid with gold and diamonds showed her reflection. She was glowing like a diamond, appearing both fairy-like and noble.Sharon had very good taste.Xyla was very pleased with the set of jewelry.Coincidentally, X Entertainment’s second anniversary was coming in a few days.When the time came, Xyla could attend the celebration with this set of jewelry.During X Entertainment’s first anniversary, Georgie Clementine was the only one who showed up.

    Xyla Quest laughed a little. She held her phone up to Stanley Batton’s face to show him the news headline on the screen. “Here, look at this…”“X Entertainment announced on its official Weibo page that it has successfully signed a contract with the viral internet celebrity, Cadence Carmichael! The company’s share price increased by 10%...” This was clearly written on the phone’s screen.“Oh.” When Stanley saw Cadence Carmichael’s name, he remained calm.Although he had agreed to let Xyla sign this person on, he still felt annoyed by it.“Cadence is someone who has a lot of his followers. It’d be odd if the company’s share price didn’t increase after signing him on…“This person’s aura can instantly outshine most of the other celebrities in the entertainment industry…“With a little bit of effort, we’d be able to make him a top-notch celebrity…” Xyla enunciated each word slowly. Her eyes were filled with joy.“Oh.” Stanley still seemed indifferent.Xyla knew why Stanley was beha

    Since Xyla Quest liked red roses, the stage was surrounded by white cotton and bright red roses…At first glance, it seemed as if the flowers were in full bloom in a bed of clouds.

Those were reserved for Stanley Batton and Xyla Quest.The other seats were taken up by Noah, Cadence, Jay, Morty, and a few of the high-level executives in the company.Today, all staff members, including Josh, were dressed up. They were either in classy tuxedos or gowns.Josh wore a pure black tuxedo coat with a white shirt on the

    “That’s right. Stanley Batton is handsome. I overheard our CEO chatting with the other high-level executives. She said that Stanley would be coming today too.”“Huh? Really? Is that god-like man going to be here too? Ahh… I’m about to go crazy!”***Outside the hotel, security was very tight.Several hundred police officers were dutifully patrolling outside.Meanwhile, several hundred bodyguards dressed in black kept a tight watch on the front and back entrances of the hotel…Not even a single fly could get in.A black Bugatti Veyron came to a halt with six black Porsche Cayenne security cars in parking spaces in front of the hotel’s entrance.Sixteen bodyguards got out of their cars first.Once they got out, they walked to both sides of the Bugatti Veyron in an organized manner before respectfully opening the car doors on both sides.Right after that, Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton got out of the car on each side, respectively.The two of them were also dressed up today.Xy

    Everyone’s eyes were on them.Despite the many shiny stars in the hall, the two still shone the brightest.As soon as they arrived, everyone became part of the backdrop.Seeing how in love the two of them were, everybody was jealous and envious…The female celebrities, especially, wished they could replace Xyla Quest when they saw the big boss next to her.Who was Stanley Batton?

    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.
