“What?” Xyla Quest asked in curiosity.“Stand up and look outside,” Sophie Kenwick immediately said. “What’s happening outside? Have the protesters left?” They should be gone by now since the whole matter was resolved. Xyla had turned the situation around.Sophie immediately shook her head. “I knew it. You’ve been busy at work, so you have no idea what’s happening. Hurry up, come and see.”Xyla glanced at her in confusion before standing up to walk over to the French windows.Looking down, she saw many people gathered downstairs, chanting something.Xyla was too far away to determine what they were shouting, let alone make sense of their unsynchronized voices.After paying close attention for a long while, she finally managed to pick up part of what they were saying—“Xyla is pretty and kind. Xyla, you’re an angel. We’re demons. Xyla, we’re truly sorry.”They were saying the same things even though they were barely synchronized.Xyla smiled as she listened, feeling enter

Sophie Kenwick followed Xyla Quest forward obediently.Wherever Xyla went, she would go.Sophie looked up, seeing Xyla’s pretty face from the side.Even with the barest makeup and a simple down jacket, Xyla was ridiculously beautiful and looked like a white peony in full bloom.She was noble and angelic, yet she also seemed unapproachable. Sophie couldn’t resist sighing and thinking, ‘She’s so pretty.’They took the elevator down to the first floor, where numerous employees had gathered in front of the main lobby’s french windows.When they saw Xyla, they instantly dispersed and disappeared within seconds…She led Sophie to the door, remaining tight-lipped.Outside, those people were still chanting along with the advertisement on the large screen. From up close, the crowd seemed larger than what she saw from upstairs, making things seem more spectacular.These people were deafening.Right then, someone spotted Xyla and began to shout excitedly. “Xyla is here!”As soon

Xyla Quest and the others looked toward where the sound had come from, but she could not see anything as there were too many people around her.Soon, people began stepping aside to make way for the woman.A tearful, middle-aged woman, who stood at the end of the crowd, appeared before Xyla.She recognized this woman as Maggie Carlton, a leukemia expert who once disparaged Xyla on Weibo.Maggie had been less than kind in her comments about Xyla previously, calling her out for being a terrible capitalist and a liar.She even said only fools would buy the Resurrection Pills and that whoever believed in Xyla would pay for their foolishness.Seeing how her demeanor had changed from being arrogant to humble in light of recent events made Xyla feel a little unnerved.Soon, Maggie quickly ran up to Xyla, falling to her knees directly in front of her before she could speak.Xyla’s eyes widened in surprise. “What are you doing?”“Xyla, you are amazing! Can you be my mentor? I’m willing

The tall, wealthy, and handsome men began speaking one after another—“Nice to meet you, Miss Quest. I’m the CEO of Stark Group. I’m here to thank you for curing my grandfather of his illness.”“I’m the CEO of Woolson Group. Thank you for getting rid of my mother’s illness.”“I’m-”They began introducing themselves one after another, then thanking Xyla Quest for rescuing their family members.By the time they finished, Xyla was holding multiple credit cards in her hands.Chuckling when she saw the thick stack of credit cards, she returned them to each of them. “Please, I'll accept your gratitude in words, but money isn’t necessary. I don’t need it.”The men laughed, saying they would allow Quest Group to earn a larger share of profits if they worked as partners in the future.Some even said they would prioritize artistes from X Entertainment should their companies invest in films or television dramas.Xyla chuckled. “We’ll discuss it next time.”The men were acting respectful

After returning to her office, Xyla Quest saw a brand new article on Weibo.It was related to Quest Group, X Entertainment, and Dragon Group’s stock price.After the Resurrection Pill was proven to be effective, its sales skyrocketed due to Xyla's favorable reputation in the country.Her positive image resulted in increased enthusiasm for all three companies' products, therefore driving up their stock prices.Xyla let out a long, satisfied sigh after seeing everything.Although she was happy with the outcome, she didn’t feel emotional on the inside since she was used to major incidents like this.Meanwhile, her office landline didn't stop ringing.Her secretary informed her that numerous media companies wanted to interview her, but she turned all of them down.She still had a bunch of work to sort out, and she didn’t want to deal with those media companies.Besides, the public had already accepted the Resurrection Pill. There was no need for her to utilize the media to expand

Where could one find a loving husband like Stanley Batton?However, the executive soon realized he had said something inappropriate. “I’m sorry, that was inappropriate. I got too excited and said the wrong thing.”“It’s fine,” Stanley replied.The guy was speechless as Stanley was very tolerant today.“All right, we’re done for the day. Nobody needs to work overtime today,” Stanley declared.Everyone cheered internally.Perhaps Xyla Quest could attain more accomplishments so that people would shower her with compliments, resulting in the staff being able to leave work on time daily.While everyone watched, Stanley took out his phone and dialed Xyla’s number. “Honey, what are you up to?”He sounded completely different from when he talked to other people.However, everyone had gotten used to it.They all exchanged glances before letting out a long sigh of relief.“I’m working. What about you?” she asked.“My meeting just ended, so I’m coming over to see you shortly,” he repl

Stanley Batton seemed to be separated from the rest by an invisible barrier despite being surrounded by people.When the reporters spotted him, they immediately launched a series of questions—“Mr. Batton, I have a question for you. How do you feel about your wife’s recent accomplishment?”“Mr. Batton, you must be ecstatic! Can I ask if Ms. Quest faced many difficulties in the process of creating this medicine?”“Mr. Batton, can I ask if Ms. Quest decided on the cost price on her own or if you both decided on it together?”“Mr. Batton, are you here to congratulate your wife on her success?”“Mr. Batton, how do you feel about your wife driving up your company’s stock price?” Stanley halted in his tracks when he heard the last question.Turning around slowly, he looked at the female reporter who asked the question.She stood in front of the crowd with a hopeful look in her eyes.The moment their eyes met, she was captivated by his gaze, her heart hammering in excitement.Stan

At the time, Xyla Quest was still deeply engrossed in her paperwork.Seeing Stanley Batton walk over, she instantly relaxed.There was something magical about this man.No matter how exhausted she felt, she always subconsciously relaxed whenever she saw him.She joyfully approached him and grabbed his arm upon seeing her favorite strawberry-flavored milk tea in his hand. “This is from my favorite store.”Stanley affectionately rumpled her hair. “Yes.”“Did you have to queue for it?” Xyla asked.“Yeah,” he replied.“Thank you, Honey.”At this moment, Xyla felt touched by his dedication to her.Stanley poked a hole through the lid with a straw and handed the cup over to Xyla. “Drink.”She accepted the milk tea and took a sip.It was very sweet.She then reached for his hand and led him over to the couch before sitting down, leaning against him while she drank. “Did the reporters annoy you downstairs?”“Hmm, it wasn’t too bad,” Stanley stated.“Did you answer their question

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

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.
