Instead, they were Josh Batton and Annabeth Cates…Xyla Quest immediately smiled when she saw them. “Why are you two here?”Georgie Clementiwne hadn’t told Xyla in advance that the two were coming.Xyla felt somewhat pleasantly surprised.Annabeth wore a white dress. She had light makeup on and also wore contact lenses and silver high heels. She looked innocent and adorable.On the other hand, Josh wore a casual white shirt and long, beige pants, as well as a pair of white sneakers. He seemed neat and handsome.Although Annabeth was not as good-looking as Josh, the two of them looked comfortable next to each other.Xyla never noticed this before, but the two of them looked good as a couple.“Henry asked us to come…” Josh smiled a little before holding Annabeth’s hand. They walked over to Xyla and Georgie before sitting down across from them.Xyla and Georgie used to be Annabeth’s superior at work. Although they were on the same level now, Annabeth still felt nervous and restra

“There were over fifty girls downstairs who ordered a single sashimi platter. They then took turns to take pictures…“I bet they belong to one of those female groups on the hot topics. I can’t believe they’d still come out and do this even after all that negative media. I’m speechless.” When Henry Armstrong spoke about these women, he felt utterly disgusted.Although he had met women like them in the past, he didn’t think much of them.To be honest, people like him knew their tricks.They simply chose not to burst their bubble.Men only cared about looks when they were in search of women to date.Just like how women only cared about their money, they only cared about the women’s faces.“They’ve really gone mad…” Georgie Clementine rolled her eyes.Beep, beep, beep—While they were speaking, Xyla Quest’s phone started ringing.It was Stanley Batton, and he wanted to video call her.Xyla immediately answered the call and walked out of the room. She found a place with no bodygu

‘Xyla Quest is the real deal…#’.Xyla Quest didn’t expect to see the Weibo news article.She quickly tapped on it, confused.Weibo News had broadcast a video.The video was taken only a while ago.In the video, Xyla was walking into the Japanese restaurant with her two hundred bodyguards.Surrounded by a group of tall men dressed in the same black attire, Xyla appeared unusually eye-catching.She looked as striking as a lone, bright rose in a large pile of green leaves.The men behind her all seemed strong, and they seemed serious.Meanwhile, Xyla had a gentle expression, and her body emanated a noble aura.At one glance, she looked like a chic and elegant lady from the upper class.The video was taken from a good angle, and it also came with very inspirational background music. It made Xyla appear formidable…There was a caption above the video. “A netizen caught sight of Xyla out for a meal. She’s the real deal, a true upper-class lady.”The video had only been published

“Beep, beep, beep—”Right then, Henry Armstrong’s phone started ringing too.Stanley Batton was contacting him on WeChat through a video call.Henry was pleasantly surprised. “What’s going on? Why would he call me out of the blue? Could he be missing me?”Henry wondered out loud in a self-absorbed manner before picking up.Out of curiosity, Xyla Quest and the others turned to look at Henry.After Henry picked up, Stanley’s cool face appeared on the phone screen.Henry waved at Stanley through the phone. “Hello… I know you miss me… We’ll get together once you get back to the country. How long has it been since we last met?”“Henry… Send Xyla home after dinner,” Stanley said.“After ages of not calling me on video, you’re now doing it because of Xyla?” Henry asked.“Why else would I be calling you?” Stanley replied.“Uhm… I thought you missed me,” Henry said.“You don’t deserve to be missed,” Stanley said.Henry was speechless.“Understood?” Stanley asked.“Yes… Understood

This incredible scene, her desirable groom, the grandest of weddings, and everything around Annabeth made her feel excited and touched…Annabeth shed a tear when she heard the pastor’s question.Her teardrop glowed like a bright, dazzling diamond under the soft lights.After taking a deep breath, Annabeth nodded gently.

She seemed envious.Although Xyla and Stanley were happy together, they never had a proper wedding…Xyla felt it was a shame whenever she thought about it.Stanley noticed the look in her eyes, and he committed it to memory. However, he didn’t say a word.Stanley silently lifted his hand and gently ruffled her hair. There was a look of affection in his eyes.The moment was even more incredible than what one would see in romance dramas.Meanwhile, on the live stream channel—“Ahh… I was alrea

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

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.

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.

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.
