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.

While everyone watched, Xyla Quest’s two hundred bodyguards got out of their cars.Most of them stood neatly in two rows on both sides of the company’s main entrance, making way for Xyla.Meanwhile, a small group of them stood next to her car.The bodyguard closest to the driver’s seat respectfully opened the car door for her. After that, he held a black umbrella over her head.The moment the car door was opened, a warm ray of sunlight in the cold winter shone upon Xyla.It made her skin appear white as snow.It was still snowing heavily.Although the snowy scenery was pretty, it wasn’t as pretty as Xyla.Xyla elegantly got out of the car and walked into the building.As her bodyguard was holding an umbrella for her, none of the snowflakes touched her.Being the center of attention like this made Xyla seem cool, noble, gentle, and beautiful.Although there were many different qualities about her, none of them felt out of place.When the group of fans saw Xyla, they were all

From the smell, Xyla Quest guessed that it was probably herbal chicken soup or the likes of it.Betty Starmount helped Xyla move the stuff onto the floor before holding Xyla’s hand and leading her to the pot. “I made herbal chicken soup just for you. Have a taste…”“It’s great…” Betty added.‘There’s something special added to it. You ought to drink more of it.’ Betty thought to herself.Xyla chuckled. “Okay… Sure.”“Ms. Quest… I mean, Xyla… It’s tough being pregnant, isn’t it?” Betty asked.“Not too bad. I haven’t had any symptoms lately. I’ve been able to eat, sleep, and drink well…” Xyla said truthfully.When Betty heard this, she secretly clenched her fists tightly. “I see… Have you felt uncomfortable in any way? I heard that many pregnant women feel uncomfortable during this period…”Xyla shook her head. “I did feel uncomfortable in the beginning, but it’s gone away completely now. Not only that, I feel just as healthy as I was before I was pregnant. My appetite has gotten

One of the family’s maids stood outside the door, her face covered in blood…Upon taking a closer look, Xyla Quest could see that her right eye was injured.The maid kept her right eye closed tightly.Blood continued to flow from the corner of her right eye. It was a horrifying sight…Meanwhile, the maid’s other eye was filled with a look of horror.It seemed as if she had just experienced something terrifying.Xyla quickly opened the door.“What on earth happened to you?” Xyla asked as she looked worriedly at the maid.The maid pointed at the garden behind her while she panted. “I… I was sweeping snow off the cobblestone walkway in the garden. Then, suddenly, something came out from the bush…”Tortured by the intense pain, the maid was trembling all over.Her voice was very soft too.There was a thick layer of cold sweat on her forehead.She looked like a flower that could fall off a cliff at any moment.“After that, it crawled onto my face and scratched my right eye… Aft

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.

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.

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

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.
