Chapter 1861

Author: Moonlight
The man gave Sophie some water and medicine, acting very patient and solemn as he carried out every action carefully.

After this scene ended, another one instantly appeared to Stanley Batton.

It took place during one bright afternoon, the young man brought Sophie Kenwick along with him to poke a beehive in the palace courtyard before running off frantically.

However, they couldn’t escape the bees in time, resulting in both their faces being covered with marks of stings and bites.

Stanley smiled when he saw that memory.

He then slowly looked at Sophie. “Soph, did we jab beehives in the past?”

She immediately started laughing. “Yes! Hahaha, I said I wanted a honeycomb, and that was why you brought me along to jab it. You told me there was a honeycomb inside. You were twelve, and I was eleven then,” she told him. "We were silly, coming to think about it."

“Indeed, we didn’t seem too smart.” His smile widened as she laughed along.

Xyla Quest could not resist laughing too. How could

    “Hmm? What’s the matter, Honey?” Stanley Batton asked with a sober expression on his face.“If you have time tomorrow, take Soph to shop for some clothes. She can’t keep wearing my old clothes, can she? I’ll be rather busy during this period, so I won’t have time to go shopping with her,” Xyla Quest explained.Stanley came up with a plan in his mind. “In that case, let’s do it tomorrow afternoon. Are you fine with that, Soph?”“I’m fine wearing Xyla’s old clothes, though,” Sophie answered.“I’ll buy you new ones,” Stanley insisted. Since Sophie was his sister, he would take good care of her.“Okay. Thank you, Brother.”Sophie didn’t feel embarrassed about having her brother buy her clothes as she was used to him pampering her with acts of kindness in the past. So, she accepted his gesture gratefully.“Oh, right. Soph, you don’t have a phone yet. I have a few brand new phones in my room, so you can pick whichever you would like. I’ll teach you how to use it later,” Xyla offered.

    Right after that, Sophie Kenwick saved Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton’s phone numbers into her new phone.***The next afternoon, Sophie went to Goldfield Plaza on her own in advance because Stanley suddenly had work to do.When she arrived at the mall, she had used her instant teleportation skills to get there from home, only to appear directly on the escalator.Luckily, nobody noticed this strange phenomenon because they were all distracted by their phones or luxurious brands around them.Sophie randomly selected the outfit she was wearing from Xyla’s closet today. It was an affordable set of clothes that Xyla bought online previously.She wore a long and fluffy pink sweater and a long, laced, pink shirt on the inside. She had her hair tied into a bun on one side, so she looked like a young and energetic teenager overall.Sophie had a simple look as she only brought her phone along without a purse. Since her brother would be running late, he'd told her to wait for him at Chanel

    Sophie Kenwick could not recall ever being treated so poorly before.Although her father had taught her to forgive others whenever she could, she found it hard to tolerate the lack of respect any further.“Excuse me, can you let me browse in peace?” she asked calmly. Her tone did not make her appear to be an innocent girl, however.Nevertheless, the sales assistant wasn't backing off but even rolled her eyes at Sophie. “Can you let us sell clothes in peace? How are we supposed to sell any of those if you dirty them up?”Sophie was speechless.She remembered her father's advice about forgiveness and letting things go, but he also taught her not to tolerate what was intolerable.She clenched her fists tightly. “What makes you think I won’t buy it?”“Look at yourself! You don't look like you’re here to buy anything,” the sales assistant retorted.“What’s wrong with the way I look?” Sophie asked defensively.The staff studied her from head to toe. “You look poor,” she said in a sa

    “You’re so annoying. Are you buying anything? If not, hurry up and get out,” a female customer said.“She doesn’t look like she can afford anything, so why even bother asking? Just kick her out already,” another customer chipped in.“This is annoying. Young lady, buy something if you can afford it. Otherwise, leave and don’t affect our shopping experience, okay? People at the bottom of society are unacceptable,” a rich housewife added.Sophie Kenwick could feel the sting in every word, her ears hurting from listening to what they said.At that point, she felt they had all crossed the line.“Look at that poor woman. She can’t afford anything, but she’s still making so much fuss.”“Exactly, I hate being around poor people like her.”Two other women glared at Sophie and started mocking her.From their point of view, a poor person like Sophie had no business being in a store like this. Even if she received shabby treatment from the staff, she would have deserved it for not knowing

    After that, Sophie Kenwick walked directly over to the rich woman and slapped her forcefully across the face. “Why wait for the next life when I can do it in this one?”The rich woman was dumbfounded. She didn’t expect a poor kid like Sophie would hit her.She had been pampered wherever she went ever since she was a kid. When had she ever been humiliated like this before?She immediately lifted her hand and prepared to slap Sophie in return. But before she could, the girl swiftly grabbed her by the wrist.However, she wasn’t about to give up, so she lifted her other hand and prepared to slap Sophie.Meanwhile, Sophie forcibly grabbed her other hand before it landed on her.Although the woman was using all her might, she couldn’t break free from the girl's strong grip.She looked furious. “What are you doing? Let go of me! I’m warning you... apologize to me right away, or I’ll teach you a lesson. Poor people will always be poor. You’re low-class filth!”Sophie sneered without an

    “That’s right, she lashed out before even finding out who these people are.” The sales assistants started discussing among themselves.At that moment, Sophie Kenwick was regarded as a mindless monster to everyone. Nobody believed that her brother could be anybody worth fearing.Sophie heard all their annoying comments. However, she sneered before turning to look at them. “I hope you can all still say stuff like that once my brother arrives.”“Haha, she’s still putting up an act. Sure, we’ll wait for your brother to get here.”“Haha, don’t you know that bragging will only get you into trouble?”“This is hilarious, hahaha. I can’t stop laughing!”The wealthy women were mocking Sophie, and so were the sales assistants.Nobody believed Sophie was anyone significant.Meanwhile, the woman still being restrained by Sophie tried to set herself free again. “Let go of me! Do you hear me? I’m in pain.”However, Sophie continued to hold onto her wrist. She didn’t seem to want to let go at

    Meanwhile, the security guards tried harder to separate them.Although they were doing their best to pull Sophie Kenwick away, nothing worked.“Hurry up and let go. Otherwise, we’re going to hit you,” security guard A threatened.“I can’t understand how she could be so heavy,” security guard B said.“Is she skilled in martial arts or something?” security guard C wondered.“You guys are so weak. Hurry up!” the rich woman snapped.When the guards heard this, they used even more force but still failed to make her budge an inch.The more the woman thought about it, the angrier she felt. She glanced at Sophie’s face again. “Let go of me, you poor filth.”“Apologize,” Sophie retorted.“Impossible!” the woman replied.Sophie was getting a little annoyed with those security guards, so she let go of the short-haired rich woman before chanting a spell directed at them.They instantly disappeared, much to the bewilderment of everyone there.Meanwhile, Sophie took a deep breath calmly

    Due to the commotion in the store, some pedestrians who rushed over started laughing as well.“Do you know who the richest man in Atlantis is, young lady?”“Does Stanley Batton know you are his younger sister?”“I can’t stop laughing! Do you know what will happen to you for impersonating Mr. Batton’s sister?”A few of the sales assistants spoke in a cold tone.Sophie Kenwick casually gazed at them and smiled. “Do you know what will happen to you for offending Stanley’s younger sister?”Everyone burst out laughing again—“She’s crazy! She’s gone mad!”“What did the doctors say, young lady? Do you need to spend a few days in a psychiatric ward?”“Please stop causing your parents any more trouble.”A few of the passersby started mocking as well.Right then, Sophie seemed like a young, ignorant kid to everyone.When Stanley Batton arrived with Zack Cassidy - the mall's manager - and about a hundred security guards, they happened to witness this very scene, causing Stanley to fr

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.
