Right then, Jeremy Quest was unable to perceive Xyla Quest’s dissatisfaction at all.“Yeah,” Xyla said simply.“We really are fated to be together…” Jeremy smiled and looked at Betty Starmount.Betty nodded, but she didn’t speak.“Xyla… Are you going to stay for lunch today? We’ve prepared something nice for lunch.” Betty really adhered to what Jeremy had said and addressed Xyla by her first name…Suddenly, Xyla found herself unable to get used to that.“Sure…” Xyla smiled.“I’ll go and check on a dish in the kitchen. I have especially made it for you guys… It should be done soon.”With that, Betty quickly stood up and walked into the kitchen.After Betty left, Jeremy turned around and looked at her from behind.At this moment, Jeremy’s smile widened even further. “Betty is a wonderful lady… She doesn’t have a bad temper, unlike others born after the year 2000. She really is the ideal type for a wife.“Betty knows that you like to eat braised pork. That’s why she has specifi

From Jeremy Quest’s perspective, Xyla Quest could understand how lonely it’d be after a person had retired.This was especially the case when his daughter couldn’t be by his side all the time.Although Jeremy described everything through rose-colored glasses, it was difficult to predict things in the future.Jeremy might think this way, but Betty Starmount might not…“I promise I won’t spend too much of our family’s money on her. Also, I promise that you’re the one I love the most no matter what…“Also, I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry. I promise I won’t get her pregnant. I won’t allow her to put a claim on our assets by having children…“There will be a fixed quota on how much I give her. I won’t give her endlessly. Moreover, I won’t end up having a child who’d fight against you for my inheritance after I die…” Jeremy intentionally lowered his voice and spoke with a determined look on his face.“I didn’t object because of this… I don’t really care that much about o

While looking at Betty Starmount, Xyla Quest thought to herself that it was no wonder her father would fall in love with this woman at first sight.When Betty saw Xyla walking through the doors, she immediately smiled and walked up to Xyla. “Boss… Xyla…”“Hmm, do you have time?” Xyla asked.“Yeah, I do.”“Come with me…” Xyla said.With that, Xyla led Betty onto the large balcony.The kitchen window was left open. Cold breezes blew in, dissipating the oily scent inside. It made one feel very comfortable.Xyla held onto the safety railing with one hand as she looked at Betty. “Betty… I can accept you being with my father. I know why you’re with him…“If you want resources, I can give them to you. If you want money, I can also give it to you… But the precondition is that you must play your role as my father’s significant other. Be by his side, and don’t do anything to hurt him…“Otherwise, you won’t even know how you died…” Xyla said the cruelest things with the gentlest tone pos

After that, they entered the dining room one after another.Jeremy sat on the main seat while Betty sat on his left. Meanwhile, Xyla sat on Jeremy’s right.Stanley then sat next to Xyla on the other side.“Xyla, Stan, have a taste of Betty’s dish.” Then, Jeremy gave Xyla and Stanley a piece of braised pork each with a smile on his face.The braised pork Betty made had a bright, red tone. It smelled very fragrant.There were even quail eggs added to the dish. Each of the quail eggs was soaked in the rich broth, making it appear even more irresistible.“Thank you.” Xyla smiled a little. After that, she placed the braised pork in her mouth.The braised pork tasted delicious. It melted

Right then, Xyla Quest’s phone started ringing.It was a WeChat call from Team XS’s president, Michael Gabriel.Xyla quickly answered the call. “Mr. Gabriel, what’s the matter?”“Here’s the thing. I accepted a TV interview on behalf of the team. The TV folks hope that you’ll take part too… Would you be able to spare some time to come over for a bit? The interview will start at eight o’clock tomorrow evening…” Michael said.“You are now part of the team that won the championship title. So it’s better if you show up. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be the complete team. The audience would also think it’s a shame.“Most importantly, apart from Alex, the audience wants to see you the most… I think that the show would have even more viewers if you show up. It’ll also bring the greatest amount of benefit to the interview…” Michael added.Xyla thought deeply for a few seconds.

In the next second, the upper portion of the glass was crushed…The sharp debris from the glass jabbed into Betty Starmount’s flesh, making her bleed profusely.However, Betty didn’t react at all. Instead, she recklessly allowed the bleeding to continue…She was like a cold, walking zombie.“Xyla Quest…” Betty seemingly spoke through gritted teeth. The cold, murderous look in her eyes immediately caused the temperature on the balcony to drop by several degrees…***At the same time, Rachel Wood was checking out lipsticks at a Chanel store in Goldfield Plaza.Beep, beep, beep—Right then, Rachel’s phone started to ring.Rachel, who was about to reach for a piece of lipstick, immediately pulled her hand away.

With a seaside view, it was gorgeous.At first, Sebastian wanted to give Rachel and her parents a surprise.In the end, her parents refused. Their reason was that they didn’t want a change in the environment.Hence, the house had been left empty all this while.Although Sebastian felt helpless, he could understand the two old folks after thinking about it carefully.To be fair, it was normal for people not to want to move once they got older.Having lived with the old neighbors in the area for a long time, they’d develop bonds too.When Rachel and Sebastian arrived at home, Rachel’s parents were both there…The two of them looked awful.Rachel’s mother greeted her and Sebastian.

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.

That meant this wasn’t a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfounded…This meant Leon actually liked her!

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.

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.
