Chapter 1589

Author: Moonlight
Countless messages from Alex’s mother flooded his phone screen.

“Hey, when are you coming home? Your father and I miss you…”

“I heard that you had an interview at the television company today, didn’t you? That’s amazing…”

“D*mn… Why did I read on Weibo that you like someone? Who is it? What does she do?”

“Is she a commentator? A host? Or a news anchor? Does she do something else? Speak, will you…”

“Is this still a one-sided crush? Say something…”

“Where are you? Are you asleep? You can’t be asleep at this hour. Are you intentionally ignoring my messages?”

With so many messages, Alex suddenly didn’t know which one to reply to first.

After letting out a long sigh, Alex tapped on the voice recording button. “The holidays will be the same as in previous years. I’ll go home when the holidays start… Yeah, I did get interviewed… There’s also someone I like, but she doesn’t like me…”

“As for other stuff, don’t ask. Alright, I’m going to sleep…” Alex said.

After that, Alex locked his

    After reading the last message sent by Tia Teegan, Alex subconsciously frowned a little.‘Are girls so direct these days?’ he wondered.“That’s not possible.” Alex replied without hesitation.“Alright then… Pretend I didn’t say that. Can we play together?” Tia asked.“No… I want to sleep. I’m tired.” Alex replied.At the same time, after sitting on the couch for a while, Xyla Quest went upstairs.Stanley Batton hadn’t returned home yet, but Xyla didn’t call him to ask where he was. She knew that Stanley was naturally occupied with something if he wasn’t home by now.Hence, Xyla put her phone down and went into the bathroom. She turned on the faucet in the bathtub.While waiting, Xyla removed her make-up and washed her face…After washing her face, Xyla slowly put on a high-class, customized face mask.Right then, the water in the bathtub happened to be full.Xyla removed her clothes and immersed herself in the water.The feeling of exhaustion melted away the moment she sat

    These people simply felt too dull.Xyla Quest didn’t interrupt either. Instead, she silently selected her hero and waited for the game to begin.Soon, Xyla’s team decided on their formation.The Top Solo, Riverside Grass, chose Aatrox…The Jungler, Awakened, chose Sejuani.The Mid Solo, Dreamlike Wine, chose Orianna.Meanwhile, as the ADC, Xyla chose Xayah.Alex chose Rakan as the Support.After the game started, people on the team started talking again—“It’s such a shame that you aren’t playing Top Solo, Alex…” Riverside Grass said.“That’s right… Alex, can I add you as my friend? Let’s play together when you’re free,” Awakened said.“Alex, I’ve watched every single match of yours. Your performance during the world championship this year was amazing… In my heart, you’ll always be the number one Top Solo in the world…” Dreamlike Wine said.“LPL Region would never have a better Top Solo than Alex,” Riverside Grass added.In Team XS’s practice room at their base, Alex glanc

    Stanley Batton pinched his forehead gently once more. After that, he slowly turned around and leaned against the wall. “There’s a lot of work and meetings to attend. That’s why…”Xyla Quest felt extremely hurt to see Stanley like this. “Okay… In that case, hurry up and take a shower. After that, let’s sleep.”“Alright… Be a good girl. Stop playing after this match, alright?” Although Stanley’s voice sounded hoarse from being tired, it was still charming to listen to. It sounded extremely sexy.Xyla felt tingles in her body just listening to him.“Okay…” Xyla nodded obediently.Stanley entered the bathroom immediately after that. Meanwhile, Xyla quickly shifted her gaze back to the game screen.By then, the team matching process was already complete.This time, their teammates were all professional gamers from LPL Region.These gamers were all in bottom-ranked teams within the region.When they saw Alex, they started complimenting him enthusiastically. Moreover, they also activ

    Xyla Quest was intoxicated by heart-warming moments like this…“I feel great today, and my appetite was good too. I didn’t feel nauseous either. So I think I probably won’t experience retching in the future again,” Xyla said.“That’s great.” Stanley Batton immediately felt relieved when he heard this.“I promised Dad that we’d return home for breakfast tomorrow. So let’s get to bed early,” Xyla said.“Alright,” Stanley said.After closing her eyes, Xyla very quickly fell asleep…However, as soon as she fell asleep, she started dreaming again.Xyla dreamed that she was in a densely overgrown forest.A white nine-tailed fox collapsed in a pool of blood…A large area of white mist surrounded the nine-tailed fox…After this dream ended, Xyla was transported to another dream…In this dream, she wore a traditional white robe, and she had the hairstyle of someone from the ancient past. Xyla found herself playing a string instrument in an antique-looking room…Soon after, a man in

    “Why do the dreams you have tonight sound so similar to the ones you had before? It feels like scattered parts of a television drama…” Stanley Batton said earnestly.It sounded like these stories could be pieced together.However, other minor parts of the stories seemed to be missing somewhere in between.Xyla Quest nodded repeatedly. There was an eager look in her eyes. “I didn’t expect you to think the same way… I also feel that these stories could be connected. With a few added snippets, it would be a complete drama plot…“In the beginning, I probably rescued a nine-tailed fox in my dream. This nine-tailed fox turned out to be a demon. After that, it perhaps fell in love with me because I saved its life…“To be with me, he kidnapped my husband. Moreover, he demanded I marry him. Otherwise, my husband would die…“I didn’t have a choice but to agree to what he asked. After that, there was the scene on the night of our wedding. I might have put some poison in the wine.“That, in

    However, Xyla Quest had no way of knowing for sure…Xyla could only leave everything up to time.If she continued to have these dreams in the future, that would signify they weren’t just dreams… After all, up until now, nobody else had been able to watch a drama series in their dreams…In fact, this drama was even updated daily.“Yeah…” Stanley Batton replied calmly. He then gently pulled Xyla into his arms.“If those were memories from my past life, what else do you reckon ties us to the nine-tailed fox?“I’m truly curious…” Xyla had many questions about this.At the same time, she also had a lot of concerns in her heart…Xyla felt that if all those were memories from her past life, the fact that she was seeing them at this point would indeed be ordained by fate.Why did god arrange for all this to happen?Was it a representation that all the enmities in her past life were being tallied?Was the person after her debts carrying out this crazy scheme?There was no way for

    Seeing that Xyla Quest was also awake, Stanley Batton immediately ignored his physical discomfort and hugged her tightly. “Did you sleep well last night?” he asked.“Yeah. What about you?” Xyla lied.Stanley lied in return. “Very well… Let’s get out of bed and get ready. Aren’t we going back to your father’s house for breakfast?”***After cleaning up, the two of them felt much more energized…Once Xyla was done putting on make-up and wearing her clothes, she went over to her father’s house next door with Stanley.When Stanley parked his car in the Quest family’s courtyard, the gardener was busy tending to the plants in the small garden within the courtyard…The two of them were greeted by a breeze that brought with it a scent of trees and plants, instantly easing the discomfort they felt.Although Xyla didn’t rest well, she looked like a white peony in full bloom thanks to skincare products and the help of her nude make-up…Xyla’s face was soft and smooth.

    Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton walked into the Quest family’s dining room after washing their hands.By then, Betty Starmount and Jeremy Quest had already sat on their respective seats.When Betty saw Xyla entering, she pushed a bowl of bird’s nest with rock sugar close to Xyla’s seat. “Xyla… Have some more bird’s nests. It’s good for the babies…”Immediately after that, Betty stood up and placed a bowl of bird’s nest in front of Jeremy. “Darling, here’s yours as well… You ought to eat more of it too. That’ll boost your immune system and keep illnesses away…”Although Jeremy wasn’t keen on eating it, he could see how genuine Betty seemed. Hence, he picked up a spoon and started eating.Betty smiled satisfactorily when she saw this. After that, she placed a bowl of bird’s nest in front of Stanley too. “Stan, you should eat some too…”Stanley shook his head. “No… I don’t like bird’s nests. You guys can have it…”Betty chuckled. “I don’t like eating it either… It’s fine if you don’t

    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.
