Jeremy Quest’s heart clenched at the sight of Betty Starmount’s sad demeanor.He gently held her hand. “What’s the matter? It's only a cold, why do you seem so troubled?”Betty forced a smile on her face. “It’s nothing, I just feel awful seeing you sick like this.”Jeremy felt deeply touched by her words.“Betty, I consider myself very lucky. Despite my age, I still met someone beautiful like you who would take care of me and worry about me.“Someone was selling a limited-edition purse on Amazon, so I bought one for you and also for Xyla,” Jeremy said.Her heart swelled with warmth, her eyes turning red."Thank you.”“None of that," he chuckled, "we are a couple.”Betty tried her best to smile. “Nobody else in the world could be as good to me as you.”“I’ll try to live a few years longer to be with you. Even if I die, I’ll make sure you live comfortably for the rest of your life. Don’t worry,” he said.Her eyes filled with tears again. “Thank you.”“Didn't you hear when I s

Out of resentment, everyone started verbally attacking Xyla Quest on Weibo.Suddenly, she became the talk of the town.After the usual Monday's meeting in Quest Group, Xyla returned to her office. She then saw the discussion about herself on Weibo.Xyla frowned slightly, feeling curious about the person who leaked the news.What was the motive for doing so?Xyla felt deeply annoyed by all the criticisms.Right then, she realized her Weibo inbox had been spammed with private messages—“Xyla, I heard you brought in military men to excavate the ancient tomb. Are you crazy?”“You are disgusting! How could you ask the people who were supposed to defend the country to do such a thing for you?”“Do you have special rights? Tsk, tsk. You are being way too high-profile.”“We pay taxes for those military men. They are not supposed to be for your private business. Have you no shame?”The more Xyla read, the more annoyed she felt.Xyla promptly published a Weibo post to explain the sit

There were tons of apologies beneath Xyla Quest’s Weibo post—“Sorry, Xyla. You’re a benevolent person. Your donation is a significant contribution to our country.”“I’m no longer a hater. I’m a fan now, sorry.”“I hope those haters are embarrassed. What you thought was impossible indeed had happened.”“Xyla, you are a role model for this generation. Please accept my apology.”Xyla, who was still working, could hear her phone constantly pinging due to the Weibo notifications.She shook her head helplessly when she saw everyone’s comments.After that, she logged into her Weibo account to check things out about herself.Once she realized the reason behind this turn of events, she released a long sigh of relief.However, she didn’t dwell on it because everything that happened was within her expectations.Meanwhile, messages flooded her WeChat, where people who mattered to her, like Jeremy Quest, Sharon Lindt, Wilson Batton, Josh Batton, and Stanley Batton, were all congratulatin

With the car windows rolled down halfway, Sophie Kenwick could see half of Gary Lakes’ face.A ray of light happened to shine against his face, making him appear unusually sophisticated and fresh.Occasionally, young women would walk past his car, only to steal glances at him as they walked past.However, Gary remained emotionless from the start. He would occasionally look outside, ignoring them completely.Smoke swirled around in his car as he had been smoking inside, making him appear aloof and mysterious.As soon as he saw Sophie, he instantly put out his cigarette and got out of the car.Gary was sporting a beige woolen coat that had traditional motives over a white woolen sweater, as well as a pair of long pants and black Martin boots.There was an air of nobility to his tall frame.He quickly attracted a lot of attention from girls around him.Men like him could easily make any woman fall head over heels in love with him wherever he went.They felt enchanted just by loo

Gary Lakes smiled tenderly.Sophie Kenwick accepted the tickets with a beaming smile on her face. “Thank you, Gary.”“You’re welcome. Have you had lunch?” he asked.As they spoke, her stomach started growling, and her face reddened with embarrassment at the sound. Gary chuckled. “Hmm, sounds like you haven’t. Would you like to join me for some food?”Sophie began to nod but then hastily shook her head after that.She couldn't just run off when she needed to stay by Xyla’s side to protect her.Gary raised his brows briefly with a slightly curious look in his eyes. “What’s the matter? Are you turning me down?”“No, but I was supposed to eat with Xyla,” she told him.“That’s easy, we’ll get Xyla to come along,” he decided and then proceeded to call Xyla Quest on his phone.“What are you up to, Xyla?” There was a constantly tender look in his eyes.“I’m working. What’s up, Gary?” Xyla asked.“Let’s have lunch together.” “No, I can’t. I still have work to do,” she replied, gl

Sophie Kenwick felt happy when she thought about how she’d soon be able to eat.Her voice immediately pulled Xyla Quest out of her thoughts.Xyla composed herself and gazed at Sophie. “Yeah, let’s go. Aren’t you hungry?”Sophie nodded while she eagerly led Xyla outside. “Yes, I am starving.”“I’m sorry, I was so distracted with work that I forgot about you,” Xyla said.Sophie immediately shook her head. “It’s fine. I know you’re busy with work. It’s understandable.”Xyla felt her heart swell with warmth when she heard her words of consideration.By then, Gary had already opened the car doors to the passenger’s side as well as the backseat.It was currently lunchtime, so employees from surrounding buildings had all walked outside.When they noticed Gary, Xyla, and Sophie, they couldn’t resist staring at them, especially the women who stared at Gary in admiration.Meanwhile, Gary cast a soft gaze upon Xyla and Sophie. “Get in.”Xyla smiled before quickly getting into the backs

There was a warm sensation in her stomach, almost as if something warm was flowing through her.It felt very comforting for Xyla Quest.She subconsciously touched the part of her stomach that felt warm, where her baby was.Xyla knew fetal movement occurred a few months into the pregnancy, but she had never heard anyone describing the feeling as such.Aside from the comforting sensation, Xyla quickly checked her pulse to see if her vital signs were normal.Upon checking, she realized that she was unnecessarily worried and there was nothing wrong with her body.She immediately sighed in relief.Sensing that something was amiss with Xyla, Gary Lakes asked, “What’s wrong? Do you feel unwell?”She shook her head. “No, I’m fine.”Gary sighed in relief. “That’s great. Stanley will kill me if anything happens to you while you’re out with me."“That’s a bit over the top,” she chuckled.“Of course, it isn’t. Who in Atlantis doesn’t know that you are the apple of his eye?” Gary said wi

No matter what Gary Lakes said, Sophie Kenwick wasn’t convinced.He found himself being increasingly intrigued by this girl.Girls like her were rare these days.Despite many good job opportunities out there, she didn’t seem interested or even consider using her connections as a stepping stone to stardom.Instead, she willingly stayed by Xyla Quest’s side to be a bodyguard.Gary wondered briefly if Sophie was too intelligent or too daft.He perused her from head to toe, deciding it was probably the latter.“You’re quite unusual,” he declared all of a sudden.“Hehe, instead of unusual, you could say that I love Xyla a lot,” Sophie replied.“You shouldn't say this too often in front of Stanley, or I’m afraid he might think of you as his rival in romance,” Gary smirked.Sophie immediately chuckled. “That doesn’t matter, my brother knows I’m into men.”Gary laughed, feeling entertained by her.This girl was definitely interesting.“Gary, since you are one of the sponsors for J

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.

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.
