What came into sight was a white jade pendant shaped like a dragon.Soon, the jade pendant also appeared on the large screen…The display stand below the jade pendant continued to rotate slowly.From the large screen, Xyla Quest could see every tiny detail.At one look, she could tell that this jade was made from high-quality Manasi green jade.The lower part of the pendant had an intricate, golden, Country Z-shaped knot dangling below it.On top of the knot was a string of white jade pearls. It looked like the material was also Manasi green jade.Be it the jade pearls or the jade pendant; the materials used were all high-quality.There were brown-red lumps on the right side of the jade pendant, and the encrustation that had formed on the surface appeared to be at least two hundred years old.However, upon taking a closer look at the edge of the encrustation around the jade pendant, there was a small area the size of a grain that didn’t have any stain marks at all. It looked l

“This looks like a genuine antique from the first glance. Young lady, you’ve got it wrong this time…”“Yeah… As an expert in this field, I can tell right away that this is genuine…”“This jade pendant looks exactly like something from the sixteenth century… Stop making nonsense up.”“I don’t know how this person managed to get lucky twice by profiting from bargain antiques… Was it all based on luck?”The people who spoke all looked at Xyla Quest with varying degrees of contempt.Xyla felt extremely annoyed by what she saw and heard.“You guys… Could it be a fake antique? I think Xyla is pretty amazing…”“I suspect that it is fake too…”Soon, other different voices could be heard.Various voices overlapped each other and repeatedly resonated in her eardrums. It was making Xyla’s head buzz.Right then, the bald man felt provoked.He looked at Xavier York. “How about this, Mr. York… You’ll get on stage to verify if this is genuine or fake. It’ll stop those people from saying th

The bald man couldn’t resist taking in a breath of cold air. He kept shaking his head. “How can this be? This is our family’s heirloom. You’re lying to me.”“I didn’t lie to you…” Xavier York said.The bald man looked thoroughly dumbfounded. “You… You should go up there and take a closer look… You haven’t taken a closer look. You really shouldn’t pass judgment so casually… ”The bald man was feeling a great sense of remorse.If he had known this would happen, he would have chosen to keep his mouth shut!In that case, he would’ve still made a handsome profit!Now, it had all gone down the drain.The bald man had practically picked up a rock and dropped it on his feet.Soon, the entire hall was filled with chatter.“This is embarrassing… It turns out that Xyla was right…”“I can’t believe that those of us who have been in the antique industry for decades lost to a young girl…”“Thank goodness I didn’t bid for it… Otherwise, I would’ve lost a lot of money!”When Xyla Quest hea

“But… This is my family’s heirloom… It’s been passed down for generations…” The bald man said.He really was going to cry!“I can only say that your ancestors bought a fake antique… But they simply didn’t know it… This fake antique was made to look genuine. Even an expert would find it difficult to see through its flaws…“That’s why your ancestors can’t be blamed either…” Xavier York said.At this moment, Xavier’s admiration toward Xyla Quest increased yet again…Although Xyla was young, she was even better than those who have worked in the antique industry for decades that she identified this jade pendant as a fake.She had a lot going for her!The bald man didn’t say anything. Instead, he kept nodding…“About that, who made a promise earlier? Didn’t he say he’d do something if this were a fake piece?”“Oh, dear. I think he has to do a handstand here or something, doesn’t he? Where is it better to do it? I think he should do it on stage. Isn’t that a good idea?”“Why are you

Xyla Quest’s response made everyone waiting to watch a show very disappointed…Although they were disappointed, they still respected Xyla from the bottom of their hearts for how forgiving she was.Meanwhile, the bald man was utterly stunned.He never would’ve thought that Xyla might let him off the hook just like this.After all, he was truly too harsh with her.He recalled the things he did. They were practically the most foolish things he’d ever done.“Ms. Quest, are you being serious?” the bald man asked.Xyla nodded calmly.When the bald man saw this, he instantly ran down the stage and kneeled in front of Xyla with his palms clasped together. “Ms. Quest, thank you so much… You really are an angel!” he said.With him kneeling, Xyla’s resentment toward him completely vanished.Xyla then stood up and bent over to help him up. “It’s nothing. After all, I’m not an unforgiving person…”The bald man was close to tears from feeling grateful. “Ms. Quest, you really are a nice pe

The second auction item was taken out.The brief interlude had come to an end.Everything got back on track.In the time that followed, several fake items were displayed…In fact, it could be seen from a single glance that these were fake items. Xyla Quest wasn’t interested at all…The others were also not very excited.Toward the end of the auction, the beautiful auctioneer smiled as she started saying, “Next up, I’d like to present to you the fiftieth auction item…”She didn’t say what it was…She even used a cliffhanger to draw attention.Approximately one minute later, three handsome employees in tuxedo suits walked up the stage with a huge display stand.Two pieces of cut original jade rocks were placed on the display stand. The men walked up the stage…Both surfaces of the cut jade rock were full of green jade…From its tone, one could tell that it was high-class glassy imperial green jade.These two surfaces were clearly a single piece of jade material cut into two

Xyla Quest smiled without saying anything. Instead, she simply shook her head.Xavier York instantly lowered his voice. “Oh? Why so?”“My intuition…” Xyla said softly.“Intuition?” Xavier looked confused.“Yes…” Xyla said.“But I think your intuition isn’t accurate… This contains 100% jade. Be it the horsetail pine on the outside, or the cut surface, they’re all conveying the same message…” Xavier said softly.This time, he really felt that Xyla’s intuition was wrong…“I believe in my intuition…” Xyla said determinedly.However, Xavier shook his head and chuckled. “This time, I believe in my intuition, too…”“What about this… Let’s make a bet. If this piece of material is truly worthless, as you say, I’ll give you something,” Xavier said.Xyla nodded calmly. “Sure. What will you give me?”“What do you want?” Xavier asked.“You can decide,” Xyla said.“If it’s true, I’ll give you an antique item. You can go to my antique store and pick anything you want… Anything at all…” X

The risks of rock gambling were too significant.It was either heaven or hell.One might become filthy rich overnight because of an original jade rock, but one might also fall into a bottomless abyss overnight.Xyla Quest and Xavier York’s voices were very soft.However, an old man with a wrinkly face at the table behind them could understand what these two were talking about from the movements of their mouths as well as bits and pieces of what he heard.The old man couldn’t resist looking at Xyla. “Are you stupid? This is good stuff. You really have poor judgment this time…“From every perspective, this material looks great. Can’t you see that a random cut already yielded surfaces covered in jade?“There is even such great horsetail pine on the outside… If another cut is made, and the quality inside isn’t like this surface, I’ll change my surname to yours… You really are blind,” the old man continued to speak. His eyes were full of spite.He felt that Xyla was pretending to be

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.
