The gentle color tone made her fair skin appear unusually smooth.The tight design of the upper portion and loose design of the lower part perfectly accentuated her curvatures and the leanness of her waist.In the mirror, Xyla almost looked like a fairy.From every angle, her makeup and outfit seemed perfect today.After walking up to a huge jewelry cabinet, Xyla selected a silver, dangling pearl earring and put it on her right ear.On the other side, she put on a simple pearl earring.Right after that, Xyla selected a pair of silver high heels and a silver diamond-studded purse.Xyla shoved her phone into her purse without putting on any other unnecessary accessories and walked out of the closet.Right then, her phone started to ring.When she took her phone out, she saw that Stanley sent her a message. He was informing her that he would head over to the Batton family’s place directly.He asked her to head over with the security car.Xyla replied with an ‘OK’ emoji. After t

At one glance, the entire living room seemed to be occupied with influential people.There were at least one to two hundred people…Xyla Quest didn’t think her mother-in-law would keep all these people waiting for her…With a bit of calculation, Xyla figured that they’d probably waited up to an hour for her.Xyla felt extremely ashamed right away.An awkward smile appeared on her face.Right then, the vice president’s wife, Rebecca Robin, slowly walked up to Xyla and naturally circled her hand around Xyla’s arm. “Xyla… Your mother-in-law really is good to you. We all told her not to wait, but she insisted…”“Your grandfather and father-in-law are the same… Your status in this family is exceptional…” Rebecca added.Rebecca’s eyes were filled with adoration when she looked at Xyla. She didn’t seem at all impatient.Xyla felt even more embarrassed upon hearing this.“I am truly sorry for keeping everyone waiting. But, to be honest, I left home very early. There was a traffic jam

However, Xyla Quest was the only person in his eyes.“Sister-in-law… You look wonderful today. Who designed this gown for you? I want to get one exactly like it.” Catherine Batton cocked her head playfully as she looked at Xyla and complimented her.There was an innocent, pureness to Catherine’s smile. Her intricate dimples made her appear unusually sweet and adorable.Catherine’s voice sounded as pleasant as usual. There seemed to be a tinge of sweetness in it.“Thank you, Catherine…” Xyla chuckled. Her eyes filled with affection.Xyla liked her sister-in-law very much…That was because not only was Catherine good-looking, but she also had a likable personality.To be honest, relationships between humans were indeed quite odd.There were people whom you would hate as soon as you saw them, but there were also people whom you would like right away.Undoubted, Xyla felt the second way about Catherine.Due to Xyla’s arrival, the people who had originally gone out and strolled ar

“If Sunny designed this, that means it’s one-of-a-kind in the world… Mr. Batton, you’re really lucky…”“Isn’t that right? For people like us, getting stuff designed by Sunny is even harder than going to heaven. But you? You can get it whenever you want…”“This is what being close to talented people feels like. Sigh. I’m really envious of Mr. Batton for having a talented daughter-in-law like Xyla. Xyla and Stanley are such a match made in heaven. They are a power couple…”People standing around started offering compliments.While 70% of them were genuine, 30% of them were not.When Wilson Batton heard these compliments, he felt incredibly proud.Right then, he felt as if he was the luckiest man in the world.Sharon Lindt, who was standing nearby, also had a broad smile on her face. She couldn’t hide the joy in her eyes.Sharon couldn’t resist complimenting Xyla. “I liked the watch as soon as I saw it, Xyla. Could you make me a matching one so that we can wear the watches as a co

Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton started dancing along to the music as everyone watched on.Beneath the lights, the two of them looked like a prince and a princess who had walked out of a fairy tale…They both received the most professional training in dancing…Every move they made was incomparably accurate and coincided with the music’s tempo.To the people around them, this was a beautiful visual feast…Everyone quickly became helplessly mesmerized by their dance.“Look at the Batton family’s daughter-in-law. She can do everything. Now, look at that woman my son got together with. I feel even more reluctant to accept the fact that they’re getting married…”“Initially, I thought my daughter-in-law was perfect enough. But, who knew there’d be someone even more perfect here…”“How could Xyla only be perfect? She’s practically supremely perfect, alright? There’s nobody else as perfect as her in the entire universe…”Some rich noblewomen couldn’t resist whispering among themselves.

“Sure…” Xyla Quest agreed decisively.“What about me?” Josh Batton asked gently.“Everyone gets something,” Xyla said.Josh smiled a little. He didn’t say anything further…Stanley Batton also smiled slightly.“Josh, Stan and Xyla got Dad a watch, and I got Dad a necktie. What did you get him?” Catherine Batton looked at Josh and asked.Josh slowly retrieved a dark red ring box from his pocket and handed it over to Wilson Batton. “I personally designed this jade ring for you, but I didn’t make it myself… It can’t be compared to Xyla’s gift…”When Wilson heard this, he immediately opened the box and looked at the content…There was a simple white, thick, jade ring inside. It had carvings of a dragon on it. Yet, amidst the low-key design were hints of luxury.Wilson liked it a lot…“Hmm, not bad…” Wilson said.“I’m glad you like it… I’ve prepared a piano piece. I’ll play it for you later,” Josh added.“Oh, sure…” Wilson had a look of approval in his eyes.“I think a piano pi

Unfortunately, Josh’s hand was getting tired from signing too many autographs.On the dance floor, Sharon Lindt was delighted to see her son appearing so popular.Although Wilson Batton didn’t show it, he felt happy about it too.Catherine Batton rested her chin on one hand while placing her elbow on her thigh. “Josh is getting increasingly popular now… Noah is getting more popular too…” She said as she looked in Josh’s direction.Xyla Quest immediately nodded when Noah Smith was brought up. “Yes…”Noah’s popularity had been rising a lot recently.The variety show by Goose Factory that Noah participated in, Fire Up Street Dancing, was the most popular variety show on the internet right now. It had the highest number of viewers on the internet…With Noah’s excellent dancing

Georgie Clementine was Xyla Quest’s best friend. They were almost like sisters.If people talked about Georgie, that meant they were talking about her.Xyla couldn’t take it anymore…With a cold frown on her face, she stood up and walked toward Henry Armstrong’s mother.Xyla wanted to speak up for Georgie.However, as soon as Xyla looked up, she saw Sharon Lindt walking up to Henry’s mother.Sharon didn’t start speaking right away. Instead, she shook her head at Xyla, hinting her not to make any rash moves.Hence, Xyla stopped in her tracks… Stanley Batton and Catherine Batton instantly shifted their gazes to Xyla.“What did you say?” Sharon asked as she looked blandly at Henry’s mother.Henry’s mother chuckled. “What did I say? I said that the girlfriend my son found isn’t worthy of our family…”Sharon chuckled along. “Look at you. You’re not young anymore.

“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

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.

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.

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.
