Right then, Jeremy Quest and Betty Starmount were sitting together and watching the television.There was a huge plate of fruits in front of them, but neither touched any of it.When Betty saw Xyla Quest walking in, she quickly approached Xyla. “How did it go?” Betty asked worriedly.“She’s fine now. The doctor said she’ll just have to be observed and receive treatment for a while. After that, she’ll be able to recover,” Xyla said.“Her eyeball was scratched… It’s pretty bad,” Xyla added.Betty felt chills down her spine when she heard this. “Oh my god… That’s truly scary,” she said.Although she appeared terrified, she was very calm on the inside.She didn’t think this was a big deal at all.The woman was only a maid. So, what if she died?“How did she get scratched?” Jeremy also walked up to Xyla. He naturally wrapped his arm around Betty’s waist…“We don’t know what it is. There’s fur beneath her eye. I’ll go to an expert to get it verified…” Xyla said.“Okay… I’ve looked

When Xyla Quest heard the doorbell ringing, she immediately became tense.This was because of what happened to the maid earlier.When she heard the doorbell ringing, she felt a little afraid…She was afraid that somebody else might have gotten injured.Xyla immediately took a deep breath. After that, she walked over to the door and looked through the door viewer…She could see a bodyguard standing in front of the door with a serious expression on his face.Thankfully, his face was unharmed.Xyla instantly let out a long sigh. She then opened the door…“Miss Xyla, I found this while I was patrolling in the garden earlier…”The bodyguard carefully placed a large ball of white fur in Xyla’s hand…It was the size of a whole cotton ball.The fur looked exactly like the one Stephen gave her previously.The white ball of fur was very soft and fluffy. Under the lights, it shone gorgeously.Xyla couldn’t quite tell what kind of fur it was when there were only a few of them.Now th

Once everything was wrapped up, Xyla Quest walked into the bathroom and washed her hands again.Finally, she returned to the dining room.In the dining room, Stanley Batton, Jeremy Quest, and Betty Starmount were enjoying the hot pot.There were many cooked fish slices and peeled prawns on Xyla’s plate.Her dipping sauce had also been prepared.It was her favorite flavor.Xyla knew that Stanley Batton had done all this.Suddenly, she felt warmth spread in her heart.Xyla slowly sat next to Stanley. She picked up a slice of fish with her fork, dipped it in the sauce, and carefully took a bite.The fish slice tasted fresh and juicy.Flavors exploded in her mouth after she took a bite.Xyla liked it a lot.After eating the fish slice, Xyla began to speak. “A bodyguard discovered a huge ball of white animal fur outside earlier… It feels like fox fur…”“Where is it? Fox fur? How is that possible? Why would there be a fox within the compound?” Jeremy seemed shocked.Xyla shook

In the dream, Xyla Quest wore a traditional white dress as she stood in the middle of a foggy forest…The trees towered over her, and she could barely see past the dense branches…The entire world seemed dark and eerie.Xyla couldn’t even tell if it was day or night…Cold breezes caused her body to tremble.Xyla felt terrified in the dream.She had no clue why she was in a place like this.Hence, she began looking around frantically while she tried to find a way out.Right then, a golden light flashed by.A white nine-tailed fox descended from the sky. It landed right in front of her.In the next second, the nine-tailed fox opened its mouth and pounced toward her.It scratched one of her eyes out.“Ahh…”The intense pain made Xyla feel even more terrified.She didn’t even realize she had screamed out loud…The strong sense of fear instantly woke her.When Xyla opened her eyes, everything was pitch black around her.She was drenched in sweat.Her heart was also beating

“No. I shouldn’t be calling it a nine-tailed fox. It should be called a nine-tailed demon fox… Because that thing is a demon in my dream,” Xyla Quest said.Ever since Yaksha told her and Stanley Batton that they had debts from their past lives…Xyla already knew that their creditor would sooner or later show up and demand their repayment somehow.Xyla simply didn’t expect it to be this soon…For some reason, Xyla felt that the demon was omnipotent…What should she do?Xyla thought that she needed to go to Yaksha for a chat after the experts verified the fur…“Alright. Let’s not think too much for now… It might only be a dream, right?” Stanley Batton said.To be honest, Stanley agreed with what Xyla was thinking.However, before they could be certain, he didn’t want Xyla to worry too much.What if…What if it wasn’t true?Xyla took a deep breath and tried very hard to close her eyes. “Yeah, I hope so… Honey, I’m really curious what happened among the three of us in our past

With the arrival of dusk, the sun was setting, and it was no longer as hot as during the day…The cold breezes by the ocean were very soothing.It felt almost like a northern city during springtime in Atlantis.Annabeth Cates was wearing a white bikini and a short skirt. Her slim physique was fully visible…As she had been bored at home recently, she invited her yoga teacher home to help her with pregnancy yoga.For this reason, her physique was even better than before.Her back also seemed much straighter.The curves on her body looked even better.Since Annabeth was still in the early stages of pregnancy, it wasn’t obvious yet. Hence, nobody could tell she was pregnant.Annabeth was very pleased with how she looked right now.Josh Batton wore a white shirt and a pair of white pants. Although he didn’t have any makeup on, he still looked good.To avoid being recognized by others, they both wore sunglasses, caps, and masks.Right then, the beach was particularly crowded.P

When Annabeth Cates and Josh Batton walked past two ladies from Country Z, they suddenly heard them screaming…They immediately felt nervous.Had they been recognized?Annabeth felt dubious…Waist?Josh was all covered up. How could they see his waist?Annabeth discreetly looked in the direction where the sound came from…Josh did the same.They saw the two girls sitting on the ground as they looked and pointed at their phones. “Ahh… Josh is so handsome…”Josh and Annabeth were speechless.The two of them sighed in relief.They had misunderstood the situation.Those ladies were only looking at Josh’s videos or pictures.“I think Josh got married too soon. He’s still so young.”“Exactly… It’s way too early for Josh. I was so shocked when he announced it.”“Who wouldn’t be? Did you know? I was completely dumbfounded… I loved this man so deeply.”“Me too, me too. I cried the entire night. Sigh… I unfollowed him out of anger, but I couldn’t even stay away for a day. The mom

Never mind that Josh Batton was under disguise…She’d recognize him even if he turned to ashes.Who else could this man with such a unique aura be if not Josh?She could recognize him instantly.The other lady could, too.Excited, she tried to reach out to grab Josh’s hand.However, she very quickly realized she didn’t deserve to do that at all.Hence, she pulled away instantly.Someone like Josh should only be admired from afar…Ordinary people shouldn’t touch him with their dirty hands.Loving him was like a religion.It was a kind of devotion that made oneself feel touched.These two ladies felt as if they were suffocating.Even through his dense disguise, they could still picture how handsome Josh looked.To avoid making Annabeth feel left out, they quickly turned to look at her…“Aren’t you Annabeth? What a coincidence. Can we take a picture with the two of you? We’ve liked you for a long time. Pretty please…”The two ladies pressed their palms together and pleaded

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. 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.
