The six men surrounded Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton. Each of them looked mean.

“Let’s do this together! Kill this b*stard!” A large bald man shouted as he stared at Stanley angrily.

Reflexively, Xyla took off her coat and tossed it at Stanley before she pushed him behind her protectively with one arm.

“Stand still and don’t move. I can handle these people,” she said.

Xyla moved quickly while maintaining vigilance. Compared to her gentle mannerism earlier, she seemed so much cooler now.

Stanley felt as if something had touched him gently somewhere deep in his heart.

In his life, this was the first time a woman protected him during a time of crisis.

Silently, he placed the coat over her body.

“Stand still and don’t move. I’ll protect you,” he said.

As soon as he spoke, a large man swung his metal bat at Stanley’s head.

Remaining perfectly calm, Stanley kicked the man multiple times and sent him flying. It all happened within a single breath.

In that instant, Xyla felt as if she was watc

    Although the other men were equally frightened by Stanley Batton and tried to escape by crawling away, none of them had the energy to do it.They were all trembling in fear.The sounds of the metal rattling against the ground and Stanley’s footsteps were like the sounds of hell calling out to them.In fact, these men were afraid that they might die right there and then when Stanley struck them with the metal bat.Once Stanley arrived before the bald man, he frowned and pressed the edge of the metal bat against the man’s forehead.“Speak. Who sent you here?” Stanley asked.“We… We…” The bald man continuously shook his head with a frightful expression on his face.“Speak,” Stanley commanded coldly. He sounded like a king determining whether his subject lived or died.As soon as Stanley said the word, he began to exert force on the metal bat.“If you don’t wish to die,” Stanley added.“My big brother sent me here. He told me that his friend doesn’t like you and wanted to teach you a lesso

    Xyla Quest seemed very focused as she continued to examine Stanley Batton’s elbow professionally.Meanwhile, Stanley sat cooperatively, silently allowing her to examine him.The light shining against her face from the outside made her appear even gentler.Despite the large coat that hung over her shoulders, she did not look any less attractive.After repeatedly examining his elbow, Xyla looked up at Stanley.“I don’t think there’s any displacement or crack in your bones. However, just as a precautionary measure, we should get an X-ray for it at the hospital. Sometimes, it’s impossible to tell if there’s a crack in the bones from the outside,” Xyla said.“Okay,” Stanley said.“The cops will be here soon. We’ll go to the hospital after we explain to them what went on here,” Xyla said.“Alright,” Stanley answered.“Thank you for taking the hit for me,” Xyla said softly.When Xyla recalled how Stanley took the bat’s hit without hesitation, she felt a warm sensation spread in her heart.“Do

    When the door was opened, a welcoming little home with a simple design came into view.There was not a speck of dust visible in Stanley Batton’s home. Everything was arranged according to size and height in an orderly manner.Xyla Quest could tell that he was a very organized person in life.Coupled with Stanley’s behavior during their meals, Xyla was sure that he had hints of an obsessive-compulsive disorder.In fact, he may even be a neat freak.Xyla put on a pair of slippers before lifting the edge of her dress slightly and looking around the living room.“Where’s your kitchen?” She asked.“Over there…” Stanley pointed at the kitchen as he spoke.Xyla immediately took out the Chinese medicinal herbs and brought them into the kitchen.“What do you need? Let me help you…” Stanley followed her into the kitchen.“Nothing at all. All I need is this pot,” Xyla said as she pointed at a white pot on the kitchen top.After that, she opened the packs of Chinese medicinal herbs before placing

    “Shocking! The children’s cookies made by the Sullivan Food Group contains expired ingredients.”Xyla Quest smiled before she quickly turned the doorknob and walked downstairs as she opened the news article.“Today, Megan Courtney, a factory worker in one of the Sullivan Food Group’s bread and biscuit factories, filed a report against the Sullivan family. She claimed that the Sullivan family used expired ingredients to produce its ‘Finger Biscuit’, ‘Fruit Dodo’, and ‘Vege Dodo’ biscuits to cut down on the cost of production. The worker also provided many pictures she secretly took of the original ingredients in the Sullivan Food Group’s storage warehouse. In the pictures, a lot of the flour already had molds on them. On top of that, the vegetables and fruits were also visibly rotten. According to a detailed report, all three products are managed by Tom Sullivan, the heir of the Sullivan Group. They are also produced in the same factory. Not only did the whistleblower, Megan Courtney, l

    “If I were Xyla Quest, I would have slapped May Conner in return. Xyla is too kind.”“I suggest Tom Sullivan, Emily Quest, and May Conner a group called the ‘F3 of Atlantis’ so that they can all go to hell together.”Xyla’s mood was getting better as she read through these comments.Meanwhile, it began snowing outside. The world seemed to be encapsulated in a romantic scene of white snow.At that moment, Xyla felt that the snowy view was spectacular. Everything was so beautiful about the evening scene that she almost found it hard to believe.Even the cold northern wind felt gentle against her skin.‘Be it the Sullivan family, or the Quest family, everyone’s life had been affected.’ Xyla thought.She could imagine how frantic everyone was feeling right then.However, it was far from enough.After tossing her phone aside, Xyla began driving hastily away from the neighborhood and in the direction of home.While Stanley stood in front of the brightly lit window, he observed Xyla leaving b

    “I only managed to do a part of what you asked me to. The young madam got to some of them before I could,” Zack Cassidy said.“Oh?” Stanley Batton raised his brows a little before taking another puff of his cigarette.“About exposing May Conner for hitting Xyla Quest, the young madam did it before I could do as you instructed. Originally, Mr. Quest already had plans to get a divorce. Now that things had gone south, I am quite certain he would go ahead with the decision to get a divorce. Also, you asked me to get the police to punish Tom Sullivan for what happened. However, the young madam did it before I could,” Zack explained respectfully.Whenever Xyla was mentioned, Zack felt nothing but respect for that woman.Hearing this, Stanley smiled approvingly. He did not expect Xyla to avenge him secretly.“Apart from that, I have already informed the Sullivan family that we are going to withdraw all our investments from their business just as you instructed,” Zack added.“Alright…” Stanley

    Zack Cassidy could not understand how Fifth Master was able to finish an entire bowl of rice with these dishes.***By the time Xyla Quest returned home, a thick layer of snow had already covered the courtyard floor.Meanwhile, there were large red lanterns all around the courtyard and the word ‘joy’ printed in red.After quickly getting the car parked, Xyla hurriedly put on a deep blue jacket and entered the house.As soon as she walked in, she was greeted with warm air that replaced the chill in her body.In the living room, Jeremy Quest and May Conner were seated next to each other. Both had sour looks on their faces.An intricately designed ceramic teapot and teacups were broken and scattered all over the floor. It seemed an intense fight had occurred earlier.Meanwhile, none of the servants were around. It was so quiet in the large space that the sound of a needle falling to the ground could probably be heard crystal clear.The air seemed heavy and stuffy.Everything had happened

    “This matter is non-negotiable. If you are a smart person, you will get this divorce agreement signed immediately. I have given you enough, including five hundred million dollars in cash and two villas. If you refuse, I will take things to court. If that were to happen, you might not get as much as you would now,” Jeremy Quest said coldly without hesitation.Jeremy had signed a prenuptial agreement with May Conner when they got married in the past.Everything under the Quest family’s business belonged to Jeremy privately. Regardless of whether they remained married or not, May would have no claim over any of it.If they brought this to court, May would not benefit at all.Since they were once husband and wife and loved each other in the past and lived together, Jeremy hoped that they could separate in peace. Both parties would be significantly affected if legal measures were to be taken.Although it was a difficult decision, Jeremy knew that it was necessary. It was better to suffer in

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.

    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 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.
