Regardless of how many people were around Xyla Quest, she remained elegant…Something about the calmness in her eyes made it apparent she was used to major scenes like this.After finishing what she wanted to say, Xyla handed the microphone over to Bobby Cates…Bobby grabbed the microphone and looked cautiously at the reporters. “Our family is delighted about this wedding… Annabeth is lucky to marry into the Batton family. 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.

I think that’s impossible… Unless the sun rises from the west…” Bobby Cates said nonchalantly.Bobby knew better than anyone how the Batton family treated his daughter.He knew their personalities very well.How could people like them bully Annabeth?It was impossible.He felt very assured of Annabeth being part of the family.“Bobby, you certainly have a lot of faith in us… You’re right. It’s impossible. We treat anyone who marries into our household as our kids… Annabeth won’t be an exception,” Sharon Lindt chirped.“I know. Wilson, Sharon, Stan, Xyla, and Catherine… Please look after Annabeth. Be patient with her if she does anything wrong,” Peggy Howards said.Xyla smiled. “Don’t worry, Aunt Peggy… We will.”“Don’t worry… Peggy,” Sharon said.“Yeah.

She glanced at it.“Hey, Georgie…” Xyla said.Xyla’s voice was soft and had a lazy quality to it. It was very pleasant to listen to.“Tom is dead…” Georgie said.Xyla was very shocked by what she heard.She was just told not long ago that Tom Sullivan was in rehab for doing drugs.Suddenly, she was told he was dead.Apart from feeling shocked, Xyla didn’t feel anything else when she found out about this.The man, who once meant the world to her when she was younger, didn’t even make her feel the slightest bit sad when he died.“How did he die?” Xyla asked subconsciously.After that, Xyla slowly sat upright.Her long, black, c

Xyla Quest continued to ignore it. Instead, she silently browsed through other hot topics.This morning, there were five articles of her company’s artists on the list of hot topics.Josh Batton had three, while the others belonged to other artists.The hot topics were all positive.Hence, Xyla wasn’t worried at all.She accidentally tapped on the number one hot topic and opened it…The things that came into sight were all related to reports about how Tom Sullivan died, as well as hateful comments from netizens—“This must be the best news I’ve heard all year.”“This is what that jerk deserves… God is fair.”“Is Xyla laughing out loud like me right now?”“Haha… Although this might make me look evil, I still want to say it. He deserves to die… I don’t feel sorry for him.”“Tom Sullivan certainly ruined his life one step at a time, even until his death.”People on the internet still remembered the past.Clearly, they hadn’t let go of what happened between Tom and Xyla.Right

Xyla Quest saw Betty Starmount’s pretty face.Xyla immediately opened the door and stepped forward to look at Betty. “What’s wrong?”“Nothing. I just wanted to ask you if you’d come home for breakfast. I made a lot of delicious food. You didn’t pick up when I called earlier. That’s why I came over…” Betty said.Betty’s tone was as gentle as she was as a person.Although Betty didn’t have any makeup on, she was still charming.“I might have accidentally set my phone on silent mode. That’s why I didn’t hear you calling. I was about to call home earlier to say that I won’t be going for breakfast this morning… I want to eat the pork rib noodles my husband made…” Xyla said.A look of disappointment briefly appeared in Betty’s eyes. “Oh… Forget it… Next time then… Oh, right. I made you some bird’s nest. I’ll bring it over to you later…”Xyla shook her head. “It’s fine… I don’t feel like having any today. You can keep it for yourself and my father.”“Oh… Alright then.

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.

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! 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? 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

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 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.
