She was acting all humbled now.Sophie couldn't resist rolling her eyes at these people, albeit impressed by how quickly their attitude changed.“Mr. Batton, I'm sorry. We were blind not to see it.”“Yes, we were wrong. I hope you and this pretty girl over here won’t hold a grudge against us.”“Oh my god, it’s all just a misunderstanding. I’m sorry, Mr. Batton. I’m sorry to your sister, too.”Everyone had started speaking all at once.Soon, the wealthy women surrounded Stanley and Sophie, bowing and apologizing humbly.Some even went down on their knees and pressed their palms together, seemingly genuine.“Mr. Batton, Miss... we are truly sorry. Please don’t hold it against us.”“Just think of us

They were daring and arrogant because they genuinely thought that Sophie Kenwick was a powerless and poor girl. Stanley Batton kept a calm expression on his face with an indifferent look in his eyes. “Why are you still standing around?” he directed at them, then glared at the bodyguards around him.They instantly nodded and mercilessly dragged those people outside.Although they each struggled repeatedly, nothing worked.Throughout the entire process, Sophie was smiling, not even bothering to say a single word.Her adorable face looked particularly pretty because of her smile.The bystanders loitering around were also shuddering on the inside, silently watching the development in fear.That was because many of them were part of the group that belittled his sister.Some of them

Even things like shoes, too. We’ll get everything one at a time. There’s no rush, so we’ll take our time,” he added.Sophie followed behind him obediently like a pretty doll, merely nodding

None of them had returned to the country.What did that mean, unless Stanley Batton was lying?He might have cheated on his wife.‘D*mn!’ Sharon Lindt thought.She promptly stood up and addressed the women who were cheerfully drinking coffee and chatting in front of her. “I have to leave as something urgent came up. You girls can continue.”With so much happening, she needed to look for Xyla Quest first to see how she was doing and if she was feeling depressed.After that, she would yell at her disappointing son, ask him to get a divorce, and kick him out.A jerk like him didn’t deserve to be with Xyla.He also didn’t deserve the Batton family’s inheritance.Before her friends could say anything, Sharon stormed out of the cafe with her phone in hand, feeling inexplicably angry the more she thought about this.She started her pink Maserati engine but didn’t depart immediately.

What’s all this mindless blabbering about?” he asked his mother.Hearing this, she felt angry again for some reason.“I’m silent not because I’m admitting to what you claim I’ve done, but I have no clue what you’re talking about.” She sneered. “Do you think acting dumb will save you? You’re already on the list of hot topics. Did you think we wouldn’t find out when you’re openly cheating on Xyla?”Sharon didn’t understand why he would do such a thing.He had such a good life. Why would he cheat?What was wrong with him?“Stanley, I know Xyla is pregnant, and you might feel lonely at times. But e

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

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?

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.

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.
