Stanley Batton wore a gray turtleneck sweater under a long black woolen coat, with a pair of black pants and black leather shoes.His hair and shoulders were covered in unmelted snow, but he still managed to look cool and dignified.Just one look was enough to make Xyla Quest’s heart pound.Stanley carried a sizable paper bag sporting a logo belonging to his wife's favorite bakery.Xyla immediately cheered up when she saw it. “Honey, did you buy me a cake?”Stanley grinned with an indescribably gentle look in his eyes. “Yes.”He quickly removed his coat and changed into slippers before placing the bag on the coffee table.Stanley sat down beside Xyla, naturally extending his arm to pull Xyla into his embrace.“How was your day? Are you tired?” he asked softly.Everything about him seemed soothing and warm.Josh had long gotten used to this, and so had Sophie.Xyla felt warm in her heart. “No, I’m not tired. Honey, I feel like eating roasted pork ribs with fried eggs and to

Sophie Kenwick couldn't help but gasp in surprise when she found that her personal information had all been made public.Josh Batton’s fans were indeed powerful.‘Is this what being related to a celebrity feels like?’ Sophie couldn’t help but wonder and then figured that was probably the case.***After dinner at Xyla Quest’s house, Josh Batton returned home.Sophie went upstairs to take a bath and proceeded with her skincare routine while Xyla sat on the couch to play League of Legends.Meanwhile, Stanley Batton stayed in the kitchen to clean up and do some housekeeping, exhibiting the prime example of how a family man should behave.Ever since Stanley started doing all the chores in the house, Xyla had gotten increasingly lazy and would opt out of many chores whenever possible.All she wanted to do after every meal was to relax on the couch and then either work or play games on her computer.Whenever she wasn’t working, she would stay next to Stanley and wait for him to serv

However, there wasn’t any response to his call for help.Cough, cough, cough—Jeremy Quest continued to press his hand against his chest and coughed for a long while until eventually, Betty Starmount ran over to him.She was stunned for a moment when she saw him.Clenching her fists tightly, she calmly walked up to him. “Hey, what’s wrong with you?”“Get me some cough medicine. My cold is going away, but the coughing has gotten worse. I’m feeling out of breath.” Jeremy continued to cough as he placed one hand over his chest and panted.He had no idea that his face had already turned purplish red.When Betty saw him in such a state, she immediately stepped forward to pat his back gently but froze when her hand stopped about one centimeter away from Jeremy’s back.Her hand hung suspended in the air for a moment, and then with a deep breath, she slowly pulled away. “Understood. I’ll get the medicine for you right away.”After turning around, Betty frowned deeply, then rubbed her

“Don’t worry, I’m fine."Cough, cough, cough.“I’ll head out to buy you some medicine,” Betty Starmount offered and then quickly stood up and ran outside without even putting her coat on.Her feet were still bare.As soon as she stepped outside, tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.It was still snowing as she peered up at the sky. Her crying intensified, the sensation of pain in her abdomen was overwhelming.She placed one hand over her stomach and knelt on the ground, her body curled up against the frozen ground in the courtyard.There wasn’t a single maid around.Just like that, she lied on the ground and allowed snow to fall over her.After a long while, she slowly crawled her way up to enter her luxury car and drove away.***The next morning, Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton got into their car, hand-in-hand, after waking up.It had snowed all night, and it only stopped a while ago, making it appear as if the world was adorned in silver.The bodyguards were all bu

“Xyla, please talk to your father. I was worried sick, but he refused to go to the hospital. ” Betty Starmount seemed genuinely worried.Xyla Quest was quite pleased to see her being considerate, regardless of whether her concern was real or fake. It was good that someone was around to take good care of her father.Even if it was only on the surface, it was good enough that Betty made it seem genuine.Xyla frowned and looked at Jeremy Quest. “Dad, you’re not getting any younger, and your health is not the same as in the past. If you don’t want to go to the hospital, you can come to me. I can help you.”“Forget it, I refuse to eat those weird medicines. I’d rather go to the hospital,” Jeremy declared.“In that case, let’s go to the hospital,” she agreed.However, her father shook his head helplessly. “I don’t think that’s necessary. I know my body well enough.”“I don’t care. You will come with me to the hospital after breakfast,” Xyla insisted with a determined and irrefutable

It seemed that Betty Starmount needed to-The painful sensation in her stomach returned.She quickly pressed one hand against her stomach, taking a deep breath and pretending as if nothing was happening. She continued to follow them toward the dining room.When she reached the dining room entrance, she couldn’t take it anymore and broke into a cold sweat.“I’m going to the bathroom,” Betty announced abruptly before she quickly dashed toward the nearest bathroom.As Xyla turned around, she caught sight of Betty’s pale face and sweat all over her forehead.“What’s the matter?” Xyla looked at her and asked.“It’s nothing, I’m having my period,” Betty said, then directly entered the bathroom and locked the door behind her.When Xyla heard this, she immediately glanced at Jeremy Quest and Stanley Batton. “I have painkillers for that in my room. I’ll get some for her.”Jeremy nodded. “Okay, thank you, Xyla.”“Don’t mention it.”Although Xyla was not particularly fond of Betty, she

“Remember this, you are an emotionless tool.”“If you obey me, you live. If you don’t, you die.”The voice kept repeating the lines.Betty Starmount could only hear the voice but not see the person it belonged to.She closed her eyes and nodded slowly. “I understand. I won’t spare Xyla Quest.”“I-I also won’t spare Jer-Jere-Jeremy Quest!”She began to stammer when she mentioned his name, taking nearly half a minute to utter the two words.After that, Betty clenched her fists tightly and looked at the mirror in front of her. However, the words written in red had disappeared by then.Everything had returned to normal.She quickly used a face towel to wipe away her sweat.Knock, knock, knock—Someone was knocking on the bathroom door, and then she heard Xyla’s voice. “Hey, are you alright?”Opening the bathroom door, Betty looked at Xyla. “I’m fine.”Right then, she saw Jeremy standing with a worried expression behind Xyla. As soon as he saw her, he immediately stepped inside

“I’m not in a hurry. I can take it anyway,” Betty Starmount said.“All right then, as you wish,” Xyla Quest replied.Jeremy Quest helplessly rubbed Betty’s back before gazing at his daughter. “Betty is very stubborn. I have advised her to reach out to you, but she wouldn’t. She is afraid you might prescribe her with traditional medicine.”“Well, remember to come to me if you can’t take it anymore,” Xyla said as she looked up at Betty.Betty immediately nodded, silently sighing in relief.Meanwhile, Xyla carefully filled everyone’s bowl with porridge.After breakfast, Betty walked into the kitchen and carried a large bowl of bird’s nest into the dining room, placing it on the table before distributing the contents into several bowls.“None for me, thanks," Stanley spoke up. "Can't stomach the stuff.”Betty nodded with a knowing smile. “I know, that’s why I didn’t fill yours.”After that, she placed a bowl of bird’s nest in front of Xyla, who did not hesitate to pick up her sp

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.
