Chapter 1724

Author: Moonlight
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…”

She couldn’t tell if it was day or night.As Xyla had slept well, she felt extremely relaxed.After taking a deep breath, she casually stretched and opened her eyes. She looked to her side and realized it was empty.Stanley Batton wasn’t there.Xyla reached for her phone on the nightstand and checked the time.She then slowly sat upright.The moment she sat up, she began recalling the two dreams she had the night before…Suddenly, she felt goosebumps all over her body again.Her body also felt cold.How lucky…It

    Hence, Xyla Quest exited from the news article and switched over to the financial news bulletin to check out what was trending for the day.The headline of the financial news bulletin was related to Tony Sullivan’s death.Xyla didn’t tap on it.Instead, she briefly checked out news about other businesses.While going through the news, her phone started ringing.The call was from Stanley Batton.When Xyla saw the word ‘Honey’, her gaze immediately became tender.She subconsciously smiled before picking it up. “Hey, honey…”Her tone was very gentle when she spoke.On the other side of the phone, Stanley was inspecting each department of a subsidiary company in City K with a large group of people. His facial expression was cold.There was a large group of high-level executives behind him, as well as a group of bodyguards.Everyone seemed timid and careful…Stanley wore a black shirt, a fitting high-class suit, and a custom-made, high-class coat…He seemed unspeakably noble.

    “Also…” Stanley Batton said.“Oh, stop nagging. Are you my father?” Sometimes, Xyla Quest felt like Stanley was her father instead of her husband.The way Stanley nagged at her without an end in sight reminded her very much of her father…In fact, he was even worse than her father.Although Xyla was complaining, she liked it…“Alright, I’ll stop nagging. Be good, okay? I’ll buy you a gift when I go back… What would you like?” Stanley asked.“Nothing in particular. Buy whatever you want…” Xyla said.“Okay.” Stanley slowly hung up.

    When Brenda Stratford heard what Cindy Dunn said, she immediately glared at Cindy. “How could you say something like that? If the president’s wife heard you, you’ll be in deep trouble…”Cindy chuckled coldly.After that, she slowly opened her drawer and retrieved her Lamer concealer.She slowly applied it onto her face using a mirror. “I’m speaking the truth. There isn’t a man in this world who wouldn’t cheat. But, if there was, it’d only be because the woman wasn’t his type…“If she were his type, he wouldn't even hesitate… That’s all,” Cindy said before raising her hands and laughing hysterically…Brenda rolled her eyes. “Tsk… Go on, be sour about it… I think you’re just jealous.”“Jealous?

Have you had lunch?”Stanley smiled. “I’m on the way to lunch,” Stanley said.“Eat something nice… Don’t skip lunch just because you’re busy.

    “I was driving properly on the road. What’s wrong with you? How could you do this to me…” Cindy Dunn continued to act innocent. To make herself seem righteous, she even pretended to be angry.A beautiful woman looked good even when she was angry.All sorts of emotions were expressed through microexpressions on her face.One of the bodyguards looked sternly at Cindy. “Where are you headed to?”“What does that have anything to do with you? Do you own this road?” Cindy frowned coldly.The bodyguard was speechless.“If you don’t stop, I’m going to call the cops…” Cindy said.The bodyguard remained stern. He didn’t believe her at all. “Speak. Where are you headed to?”“I’m going to City S…” Cindy said.“I doubt you’ve just happened to be following us… If I didn’t remember wrongly, you were behind us back in the city…” The bodyguard said.Cindy pinched her forehead helplessly. “In the city?

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.

    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.
