Apart from Dragon Group’s capabilities, Stanley Batton could do this because the Batton family had unusually strong connections with the president’s social circle. Stanley affectionately ruffled Xyla Quest’s hair and responded gently, “Silly girl. I told you not to say these things to me…” Stanley said.“Also, you should bring more people with you… We must both be more cautious these days…” Xyla said.If that master couldn’t exact revenge on Xyla, he might do so to the people around her.“Oh, right. There’s my father too… Can your family make arrangements like this… To protect him too?” Xyla had a curious gaze in her eyes.After experiencing two incidents like that, she was terrified…She especially didn’t want to go through what happened last night again.“Don’t worry. It’s been done long ago…” Stanley said.Xyla gently nodded. She felt touched by Stanley’s actions again…This was her good husband.There were many things he’d do before she even asked him to.“Also… Didn’t

The news displayed on the screen was a post published by Weibo News related to Josh Batton.“Josh Batton is exposed for disappearing without any reason during the filming process…”Xyla Quest couldn’t believe what she was seeing.Josh had always been someone who cared about his profession. Regardless of whether it was during his time as a newbie or now, he was never late and never left early…He was reputed to be a professional artist in the entertainment industry, and he was also a role model to many.Wherever he was needed, he would always arrive in advance.Moreover, if he couldn’t complete his task within the given time, he’d even request to work overtime on his own.Why would someone like him disappear for an entire day without any reason?Xyla subconsciously felt that this was fake news.After frowning slightly, Xyla tapped on the news to carefully read it.The news didn’t describe things very clearly. It only mentioned that someone exposed Josh for disappearing from a

“About that… President Xyla, this incident isn’t actually a rumor…” Georgie Clementine said.“What…?” Xyla Quest asked.“Josh did indeed do something like this a few days ago. But, at the time, his assistant didn’t know why he had left either,” Georgie added.Xyla instantly had a confused look in her eyes when she heard this. “A few days ago?”She suddenly recalled the bombing incident she had encountered in Riverdale Market a few days ago…Could it be that?“Yeah… It’s on the day you were at Riverdale Market when the bombing took place… Initially, he had agreed to act in a guest role in an explosive scene for Director Gustav Corbet with his film crew in Country Y…“When Josh arrived, he joined the film crew and got his makeup and styling down. After that, the film crew prepared everything and waited for the filming…“However, just before the filming took place, Josh ran off. He said he had something to attend to in the country, but he didn’t explain in detail. Instead, he left

“Hmm.” After saying that, Xyla Quest hung up. She slowly walked over to the French window and looked down at the bustling city.There was still a heavy downpour in the city.The entire world became blurry…People tended to overthink on rainy days.While Xyla looked at the rain outside, she couldn’t help but think about what Georgie Clementine had said earlier.She thought about Josh Batton.Xyla felt that she needed to have a proper conversation with Josh…Beep, beep—Right then, another notification appeared on her phone. It was a post Director Gustav Corbet published on Weibo that X Entertainment recently shared. “@Director Gustav Corbet, thank you for clarifying the fake rumors. People should stop spreading it…”Xyla tapped on it.The first thing she saw was the Weibo post that Director Corbet published earlier. “Stop spreading the rumor. The film crew this person mentioned belongs to me. Josh didn’t leave for no reason on that day… There was an issue with the film set tha

“Josh… Did you intentionally leave the film crew behind that day and rushed back because of… Me?” Xyla Quest asked carefully.Josh Batton did think that Xyla might come and ask him, but he didn’t think she’d ask so directly…Josh instantly cocked his right brow. “No…” He answered without hesitation.When Xyla heard this, she felt greatly relieved. “Is that so?”“I don’t like you anymore… You don’t need to feel any pressure…” Josh said.Josh had prepared this speech long ago…Having feelings for Xyla was his issue.He didn’t want his feelings for her to cause Xyla any emotional burden.“Really? In that case, why did you hurry back that day?” Xyla asked.“That’s because I suddenly remembered something important… Don’t misunderstand… It really wasn’t because of you… I only went to see you because it was actually on the way…” Josh laughed bitterly.When Xyla heard this on the other end of the call, she immediately let out a long sigh…Josh had answered in a very clear-cut manner

Based on how well Josh Batton knew his mother, his mother would definitely ask him about that woman with much excitement. Perhaps, she might even buy lots of gifts for that woman…By then, Josh would be annoyed…After saying that, Josh weakly leaned against the wall and closed his eyes depressedly. He let out a long sigh…“Don’t worry. I won’t tell anyone…” Xyla Quest decisively snapped her fingers.“In that case, I’ll get back to work…” With that, Josh hung up. He laughed bitterly and helplessly for a while as he looked through the window full of raindrops at the blurry world outside. He had a conflicted look in his eyes…After standing still for a long while, Josh finally put his phone in his pocket and returned to the photography studio…Once his styling was done, he started shooting for a magazine cover.After the shooting was completed, Josh brought his assistant, Annabeth Cates, and a large group of security guards grandly out of the magazine company…By then, the rain ha

Now that this topic was brought up, everyone felt jealous on the inside.Although Josh Batton still hadn’t announced who he liked, there wasn’t any news about his love life, and they were also very sure their idol didn’t have a girlfriend. So they couldn’t help but feel jealous about the woman whom their idol would fall in love with.“If Josh announced that he’s in a relationship, would you stop being his fan?” A girl suddenly asked carefully in the group.“Nonsense, of course… I wouldn’t! I’ll choose to wish them a happy life together with tears in my eyes…”“I will never be able to get out of this pit in this lifetime. So who else would we become a fan of? Is there anyone better-looking than Josh in the entertainment industry?”“Sob sob. Me too. Josh is so gentle. His future girlfriend is going to be so lucky.”“Not only am I jealous of his future girlfriend, but I’m also jealous of his future daughter. Sob sob…”The fans were getting more jealous as they spoke.When Josh’s b

“Josh, what can I do for you?” Annabeth Cates looked at Josh Batton earnestly. She seemed very careful.“What’s my next appointment?” Josh asked.“Next, we’re going to City K to shoot for S Magazine’s cover and a few pages within…” Annabeth said seriously.“Okay.” With that, Josh slowly closed his eyes and didn’t say anything else.The song ‘As Friends’ was still playing on repeat on his earphones.Annabeth knew that he was exhausted now. Hence, she didn’t say anything further.Even without saying anything, Josh still glowed by just silently listening to music with his eyes closed.“We’ll probably be working until very late today. You’ll still be very busy tomorrow. Perhaps, you might only get three hours of sleep tonight. You should rest some more during the ride,” Annabeth reminded earnestly.“Understood,” Josh said indifferently without opening his eyes.Approximately an hour later, Josh and Annabeth arrived at Atlantis International Airport with a group of bodyguards.In

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.

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

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.
