The Cates family members were very close to Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton.The two of them could see their every move.Although they were from a different social class, and they didn’t behave like Xyla and Stanley…Xyla was still quite fond of them because they seemed genuine.They didn’t seem like people from the upper class who often pretended to be people they weren’t.These folks seemed ordinary and natural.After smiling a little, Xyla picked up the glass of red wine in front of her.Stanley also picked up a glass of wine.The two clinked glasses.The purplish red liquid in the glass swirled slightly when their glasses clinked. Then, just like a dazzling jewel, the glass emitted an elegant light.After taking a single gulp, they could taste the fragrance.In the next second, Xyla naturally rested her head on Stanley’s shoulder.Josh Batton and Annabeth Cates had started dancing again…They were the most eye-catching couple on the dance floor.Meanwhile, Xyla’s gaze a

“Yeah… Those are the bride’s parents and relatives, aren’t they? Oh my god. Why are they eating like that?”“How long have these people not seen the face of the world? Have they gone mad at the sight of pastries?”“You didn’t see how excited they were when they saw bird’s nest during the meal…”The sound of two women yapping was unusually annoying.They spoke the local language fluently.“Don’t be too loud… Xyla and Stanley might hear you…”“So what if they do? We have business dealings with Quest Group. Would Xyla criticize us for those poor fools? Don’t overthink. I’m going to say what’s on my mind… The Cates family are a bunch of poor fools… They’ve never seen the face of the world… They disgust me.”“To be honest, I hate those poor folks too. We are on different levels. There’s just too much of a difference. Poor folks like them should just die…”These two people sounded arrogant.Xyla Quest frowned slightly. She slowly looked past the crowd, and her gaze landed on two fem

It all felt new to Annabeth Cates.“If you talk about the Cates family behind their backs again, I won’t let you off the hook,” Xyla Quest warned. Although her voice was soft, her tone was firm.“…” The two women nodded respectfully but remained silent.When Annabeth heard this, she could immediately guess why Xyla was upset.Suddenly, she felt extremely grateful on the inside.The better she got to know Xyla, the more she understood why Stanley Batton and Josh Batton were head over heels in love with her.That was because Xyla wasn’t only good-looking, but she was also an upright person.Even Annabeth herself, despite being a woman, was soon falling for Xyla, let alone the two men.Xyla was a good-looking, fit, upright, generous, intelligent, and well-educated lady from a wealthy family. Who wouldn’t like her?Xyla wasn’t an ordinary girl like Annabeth could compare to.When Xyla lifted her head, she saw Annabeth looking at her like a fangirl who was stunned in place.Seein

So we’re all happy for her.”After that, Bobby frantically passed the microphone back to Stanley.“Xyla… We just found out that your ex, Tom Sullivan, had been sentenced to five years in prison for taking drugs and offering them to others. He’s currently in a rehab center in Atlantis for his treatment. However, once his treatment is done, he’ll be sent to prison.

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

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?

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.
