A strange sense of familiarity and sadness caused Stanley Batton’s eyes to well with tears.All these weird feelings in his heart were unusual for him.Why did this girl in front of him feel so familiar?In fact, he even felt emotionally hurt on her behalf.He had a nagging feeling that there was an unusual connection between him and this girl in the past.Stanley took a deep breath and addressed Sophie Kenwick. “We… Have we met?”She shook her head while she took in his odd reaction. “No. What’s the matter?” She seemed confused.Stanley frowned and continued to study her face. “Nothing…”Sophie nodded slightly, not fully believing what he said.His reaction made Xyla curious as well.She instantly held his hand gently. “What is it?”Stanley shook his head. “We’ll talk later.”Xyla nodded before pulling Sophie over. “I haven’t officially introduced you two. This is Sophie Kenwick.”The girl extended her hand excitedly to Stanley. “It's nice to meet you, I’m Sophie,” she sa

Stanley Batton felt increasingly confused from the depths of his heart.He immediately looked up toward Sophie Kenwick while she cheerfully skipped away.She seemed so familiar from behind, as well.As he gazed at her, an unfamiliar scene appeared before his eyes.He was in a traditional-looking room, where a girl wearing a red silk robe was playing a string instrument with her back to him.The tune she played was the tune Sophie was humming along just then.The unfamiliar scene disappeared as suddenly as it appeared, not giving him enough time to verify that the girl was Sophie.What was going on?Was he hallucinating, or was this part of his forgotten memories?Was that girl in the vision Sophie?If she was, what was the nature of their relationship?When Xyla Quest saw her husband's distraction, she immediately grasped his hand. “Darling, what’s wrong with you? What happened?” she asked softly.Why did he act so strangely after the young girl showed up?She had never se

Stanley Batton held Xyla Quest’s face with a loving look on his face, gazing deeply into her glistening eyes. “Xyla, I won’t abandon you for anyone.”“You’re my one and only in this lifetime. No matter how much I cared for her in the past, I would not leave you.“Since everything had already ended in my past life, I’ll let it stay in the past.“If she was my family member in the past, I’ll treat her well and protect her.“But if she was my lover back then, I’ll still treat her kindly, but I won’t love her in this lifetime,” Stanley added.Xyla instantly felt overwhelming warmth in her heart when she heard his words.She then smiled. “I was joking with you, you fool. Why did you take it so seriously?”“You may have asked the question casually, but I can’t reply to it carelessly. Xyla, it’s because I care about you and your feelings. Since I love you so deeply, I won’t allow you to think recklessly,” he replied.“Thank you for loving me this much, Darling. Thank you for letting m

Stanley Batton was a normal man.To avoid going any further, he pulled Xyla Quest away once again. “I’ll take a shower.”She nodded. “Okay, go ahead.”He then turned around and entered the bathroom, taking a cold shower to calm himself down.After he had left, Xyla sat down on the couch and picked up her laptop.At first, she wanted to get some work done, but after sitting down, she felt exhausted.So, she logged into League of Legends and decided to play a few rounds to relax.She would continue working after dinner.When Xyla logged into the game, she saw that members of Team XS were all online.She didn’t plan on playing with them, so she prepared to play on her own.But before she could choose the game mode, Alex sent her a message. “Boss, you’re finally online!”“Yeah, what are you up to?” she asked.“I’m doing a livestream,” he replied.“Okay, keep it up.”“Do you want to play a match together? I’ll play as your Support. I’m very good at it,” he stated.Right the

“Yes,” Alex replied.“Fine. Since she’s your boss, you’d naturally play as her Support. Umm, nice to meet you, Xyla,” The One said.“Nice to meet you, Xyla. Sorry about being rude earlier. I’m a huge fan of your good looks and skills,” Xin said.“Xyla, can I add you as my friend? I’ll do whatever you ask me to,” Crazy spoke up.“Me, too. I’m very good at playing as Support as well. Please add me.”Xyla Quest instantly smiled when she saw how enthusiastic everyone seemed.She had a charming smile.“Sure, you can all add me later,” Summer replied.“I have the eSports legend herself on my friend list. I feel like I’m glowing!” The One said.“I feel like my entire house is glowing! I’m so lucky,” Xin said.“I feel like my entire house is floating in the sky,” Crazy said, not to be outdone.Xyla didn’t know how to respond.“…” Summer replied.“…” Alex replied.On Alex’s livestream channel—“Hahaha! These are talented people in the world of streamers. Crazy, Xin and The One ce

Xyla Quest hadn’t used Kalista as her hero for a while now, so she made that her choice.Subsequently, the other players also selected their heroes, and then the game began.Alex and Xyla became engrossed with it once it started, both using their impressive skills to barrage their way through the bottom lane. Within ten minutes, they managed to destroy one of their enemy’s Inhibitors.Four enemy heroes came to surround them the moment it was destroyed, but none of their teammates could teleport to them.Their teammates promptly started making their way toward them on foot when they saw that they had been surrounded.Xyla and Alex were the two pillars of the team. They couldn’t afford to die.However, neither of them panicked.Instead, they both calmly faced their four opponents, and with their accurate maneuvers, they managed to dodge all the skills from their opponents while attacking them in return.They managed to kill all four of their opponents together, even with full hea

Xyla Quest saw herself in silver armor. She was running for her life in the middle of nowhere with Sophie Kenwick, with countless soldiers chasing after them from behind.Sophie, clad in a traditional robe, was running in front of Xyla, looking visibly nervous.There was dust everywhere.Those soldiers, who were carrying bows and arrows, were shouting for them to stop running, firing arrow after arrow at them. In such a critical circumstance, Xyla gave her all to escape with Sophie. Until an arrow pierced through her neck, spilling blood, but yet she continued to run and tried to protect the girl.That was where the flashback ended.The vision made Xyla feel even more curious about her past, convinced that it was a vivid memory from her past life.She was also sure that she was somehow related to Sophie, not only to the nine-tailed demon fox.From her attire in that vision, she didn’t seem like an ordinary woman but perhaps a female commander.She also seemed to have died for

On the livestream channel—“Does having money let someone do whatever they want?”“I can’t think of any other explanation.”“That’s bullsh*t. Does Alex look like the kind of person who could be bribed by money? He’s always been a good kid in front of Xyla, okay?”“Alex is so adorable in front of Xyla. I’m jealous.”“Alex has never smiled at me like that. Indeed, rich people are different from the rest.”Xyla skimmed through the comments briefly before turning off the livestream channel just in time for the game to start.Xyla replied to Alex directly in the game. “You’re welcome.”“I won’t disappoint you, Boss,” Alex said.“I believe you. Keep it up,” Xyla replied.“Yes, of course.”On the livestream channel—“Alex is particularly chatty in front of Xyla. He normally doesn’t even grunt when replying to other people.”“I’m sure Xyla has no regrets in life.”“Alex, do you secretly have a crush on your boss?”Alex glanced at the screen briefly, but he didn’t acknowledge the

Xyla quickly reached for Hannah’s hand. “Is that right? Hannah, you’re amazing…! You’re practically on par with Leon!”Hannah laughed, slightly embarrassed. “Not at all.”“Oh, cut it out. 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. Sensing her trembling body, Leon tightened his e

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.
