When Stanley Batton heard this, he immediately walked over to Xyla Quest and sat down next to her. “Are you feeling better?” he asked carefully.Xyla nodded. “Yeah. I feel bored being at home all the time. I want to go out for a walk…”Xyla had spent the entire day at home with Sharon Lindt.She really wanted to go outside for some fresh air and to breathe in the air of freedom.“Alright… Let’s go out now… It’s cold outside. Put on a thicker jacket…” Stanley said.“Okay,” Xyla replied.“Where would you like to go?” Stanley asked carefully.“Let’s just go for a drive…” Xyla said.“Okay,” Stanley said.***After heading upstairs to change into a thicker knitted sweater, Xyla left the house with Stanley.Stanley drove Xyla aimlessly around in his black Bugatti Veyron.To ensure Xyla’s safety, Stanley drove very slowly.The night scenery outside was beautiful.The sky was full of stars, and there were flowers in the trees…“Are you feeling unwell?” Stanley asked carefully af

“Understood.” With that, Stanley Batton called Zack Cassidy on the phone and told him everything that happened…Approximately one minute after the call ended, the three people who were initially furiously making calls instantly turned off their car engines…The few of them walked over to Stanley and Nancy Jules. They looked at Nancy while nodding and bowing to her. “Sorry… Sorry. Lady, we were ignorant…”“Are you aware of your mistakes?” Nancy frowned slightly as she asked.Even when she was frowning slightly, she was still very attractive.The few of them immediately nodded respectfully…Nancy rolled her eyes at them. “Get lost…”“What about the compensation?” A woman asked.“Someone will reach out to you for that…” Nancy’s voice was still cold.When the few of them heard this, they quickly ran off. They got into their cars and sped away.Nancy smiled satisfactorily as she looked at Stanley. “Thank you.”“You’re welcome…” Stanley said.Nancy had given him such a huge busin

“She married Country T’s President… Now, she’s the youngest wife of Country T’s President…” Stanley Batton said.As the two of them spoke, Nancy Jules was already at the passenger’s side of their car.Nancy bent over slightly and tapped on the window lightly.When Xyla Quest saw this, she immediately rolled down the window and looked at Nancy’s face.Xyla still couldn’t see any traces of cosmetic surgery on Nancy’s face upon a closer look. On the contrary, it seemed natural and alluringly beautiful…When the wind blew, her faint rose-scented perfume whiffed through the air. It was an enchanting smell.Looking at a beautiful woman like Nancy made Xyla feel extremely happy…She liked all good-looking people…“Hi…” Nancy waved at Xyla cheerfully.Although Xyla had never interacted with this woman before, Xyla felt that Nancy was a passionate, pretty, hot, and straightforward woman from how she behaved in front of Xyla today.“Hi…” Xyla waved back at Nancy.“Come down and have a

“It’s okay… We have stuff to do…” Stanley Batton said.“What stuff?” Nancy Jules had a slightly disappointed look in her eyes.“I have to take my wife around…” Stanley said.“Alright, fine. Whatever. I’ll be leaving then…” With that, Nancy shifted her gaze to Xyla Quest’s face. “Beautiful lady, I’ll take my leave now. See you when I see you.”Right after that, Nancy turned around and returned to her car.“Since she’s offered you a huge business deal, why don’t we accept her offer to sit down and have a chat?” Xyla asked.“Didn’t you want to stroll around?” Stanley asked.“It’s fine to give that up if something important crops up…” Xyla said.“I have to do what I promised you I would…” Stanley said.With that, Stanley opened the car door like a gentleman and helped Xyla to get inside.In the luxurious sports car in front, Nancy was able to see Xyla and Stanley’s interaction clearly through the rearview mirror.Back when Nancy failed to pursue Stanley, she truly felt that this

‘Does Nancy Jules still like Stanley Batton?’ Xyla wondered.However, from the way Nancy spoke with Stanley and her tone, it didn’t seem quite like it…Was Xyla perhaps overthinking it?After all, Nancy had a crush on Stanley back when they were in high school…“Apart from the company they previously worked with, our company is the only one in the world that could provide the chips she wanted…” Stanley said.That meant it had nothing to do with loyalty…Mainly, it was because Nancy didn’t have a choice.Such words thoroughly nullified Xyla’s suspicions that Nancy still liked Stanley.“I see. Regardless, you should still maintain a good relationship with this person… After all, she is backed by the entirety of Country T,” Xyla added.As long as they maintained a good relationship, there would naturally be countless deals in the future…If Country T’s President could delegate such an important matter to Nancy, one could imagine how important her status was in the President’s ey

Since accidents could always happen during surgeries, they were also worried about the bone marrow donor apart from Stanley Batton. They really hoped that Stanley and the donor would both be safe.Since Josh Batton was around, nurses in the hospital kept looking for various excuses to walk past them occasionally.Some even found excuses to walk past over a dozen times…With people constantly walking past Xyla Quest, she felt even more disturbed by their noisy footsteps.Sharon Lindt held Xyla’s hand gently. “Xyla, don’t worry. Everything will be alright,” she said carefully.Although Sharon was also worried, she couldn’t express too much of it for fear of affecting Xyla’s mood.Never mind that Xyla was already pregnant.Even if she wasn’t pregnant, Sharon didn’t want to affect her.Xyla nodded gently, but she didn’t speak. Instead, she silently closed her eyes and started praying for Stanley and the bone marrow donor.“Isn’t Grandpa coming today?” Josh asked.“Your grandfathe

Xyla Quest was genuinely thankful to that person. But she was also worried about him.“He’s fine… He’ll come out first in a while,” Stephen Harris added.***Approximately ten minutes later, the bone marrow donor was wheeled out.Xyla and the Batton family wheeled him into a VIP ward…So as not to disturb his rest, they only spoke a few words to him. After that, they arranged for medical caregivers to look after him before immediately returning to the operating room entrance.Everyone gathered in front of the operating room. After approximately twenty minutes, Stanley Batton was wheeled out by Stephen Harris and a group of nurses.Stanley, who sat in a wheelchair, was wearing a blue-and-white patient’s robe.His face was ashen…Due to the anesthetic, he was still passed-out.Seeing Stanley like this made Xyla’s heart ache badly…Other people felt the same way.Everyone took in a deep breath simultaneously. Then, after suppressing their sadness, they wheeled Stanley back int

Georgie Clementine sent a text message to inform Xyla Quest that she had sorted out many important documents on Xyla’s behalf.Georgie asked Xyla to check her email inbox when she was free to go through the documents Georgie had dealt with.Xyla replied with an ‘OK’…After that, Xyla shifted her gaze to Sharon Lindt’s face once again.“Mom, I have to stay here. I know you’re worried about me, but I’ll be careful. I’ll get the nurses to add another bed beside this one. I’ll sit on the bed when I’m free. Alright?” Xyla asked.Seeing how determined Xyla was, Sharon helplessly nodded in the end.Josh Batton frowned a little as he looked at Xyla concernedly. “Xyla… To be honest, I suggest that you stay at home.”Xyla chuckled and shook her head. “I won’t…”Xyla refused to go home no matter what. She had to stay behind and look after Stanley Batton. Even if there was nothing she could help with, being by his side and watching over him was good enough…Meanwhile, after Josh heard thi

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.
