Xyla Quest was now an orphan.Stanley Batton cradled her face when he saw that she had stopped crying. “Honey, let’s go back, all right? Don’t be sad anymore. Tell me, what can I do for you to feel better? Hmm?”If Stanley could do anything to make her happy, he would surely do it. He would go through hell for her.However, Xyla closed her eyes helplessly without uttering a word.Right then, Yaksha, who had been silent all this while, spoke up. “You’ve been sitting for a long time, and your wound can’t handle it. Let’s head back.”Slowly opening her eyes, she gazed helplessly at him. “Can I sit here for ten more minutes? I just want to look at my father.”She would never see his face again after leaving this time.Her father’s corpse would be cremated, turning into a pile of ash.The face that made Xyla feel at peace would forever be gone from this world.Yaksha nodded helplessly, letting her have her way.Ten minutes later, he activated the teleport amulet without asking h

“She was talking before she suddenly died. The pathologist is here to investigate the cause of her death,” Zack Cassidy told them.Nobody had expected things to end that way.Sharon Lindt, Xyla Quest, and Stanley Batton all wore shocked expressions.“Let me know when you find out,” Stanley said before hanging up.“She died just like that. After hurting us so badly, it seems too easy on her,” Xyla lamented, still wishing she could shred Betty Starmount to pieces.Her shocking death wasn’t enough to appease her. She wanted to question Betty about the location of that nine-tailed demon fox, but now that plan was ruined. Perhaps, this was all pre-determined as everything happened by fate.Xyla couldn’t have her way just because she wanted it.She probably wouldn’t find the nine-tailed demon fox until it executed its plan, but she wasn't about to give up.She wanted to change her fate, not allowing anything like her father’s tragedy to happen again.It was the only time she would

Josh Batton and the others reluctantly left the house by noon, leaving behind Xyla Quest, Stanley Batton, Wilson Batton, and Sharon Lindt in the end.Wilson couldn’t stop gazing at his grandchildren in the nursery.He picked one up and then the other, an action mimicked by Sharon.Xyla stood nearby, watching them as she smiled subconsciously.Thankfully, they’d been around her lately, so she was able to recover so quickly.The children, especially, were like medicine that could cure everything.Due to their presence, Xyla wanted to get better, knowing that she needed to take care of herself and not dwell on grief so that her physical health wouldn’t deteriorate.Women were generally gentle and vulnerable, but mothers were particularly strong and resilient.Xyla observed the peaceful scene with growing warmth in her heart.If she could, she wished she could stay in this moment forever.She craved heartfelt moments like this.She didn’t want it to stop.Stanley's heart ached

Xyla Quest knew that Sharon Lindt only had her best interest at heart.People often said that the true colors of a person's in-laws would be revealed once a woman gave birth.This time, Xyla got to know the Batton family even better as the kindest people, apart from her father.They genuinely adored and pampered her.Throughout the entire month of her postpartum recovery, Sharon Lindt and Stanley Batton were the ones who constantly stayed by her side to look after her, refusing to let anyone else visit at the hospital.While Stanley attended to work during the day, Sharon was the only one in the ward, looking after two children.However, she never once complained.At times, Xyla wanted to help whenever she was too busy, but Sharon would order her to get back to bed. She made sure Xyla and her children were well taken care of.During this time, Sharon and Stanley acted like Xyla’s guardian angels, protecting her and the children daily and nightly.“To be honest, I just want t

Sharon Lindt protected Xyla Quest as if she was a fragile object.Xyla smiled. “Thank you, Mom.”While observing her family, Xyla silently swore in her heart that she would do everything she could to be good to them for the rest of her life.“Oh, can I play with my phone for a while?” Xyla asked cautiously.During this period, Sharon had strictly limited her access to her phone, believing that she could fall sick from the strain.Many times, Xyla felt like a kid again.Sharon contemplated for a few seconds. “Okay, but not too long. Five minutes is all you get.”“Okay, sure.” Xyla chuckled, willing to behave if it made her worry less.Xyla quickly turned her phone on as soon as Sharon handed it to her, opening Weibo to check on the trending headers.For someone who used to scroll through Weibo every day, being away for an entire month made Xyla feel alienated from the world for far too long.Seeing that her children made it onto the list of hot topics in Weibo, she noticed Jos

Sharon Lindt gently ruffled Xyla Quest’s hair. “Be good. Just hang in there for one more month.”“One more month,” Xyla murmured, knowing there was no point in resisting.So, she nodded helplessly.Sharon was in a much better mood when she saw how obedient she was.She knew that Xyla and Stanley Batton would be facing a lot of hurdles in the future.She didn’t know whether their family could be torn apart or if she might lose anyone in the family.Hence, she wanted to treat Xyla and Stanley in the best way she could.She wanted to cherish the moments of happiness with her family while they lasted.If she could, she wanted to give Xyla everything in the world.Xyla was now an orphan, and if the Batton family didn’t look after her, no one else would.“Waa… Waah…”Lynette Batton, who was in Wilson Batton’s arms, suddenly started crying right then.Her face turned red, and her legs kept kicking around.There was a sad look in her bright eyes.Seeing this, Wilson felt as if hi

Xyla Quest still loved both her children. Her life felt fuller with their presence, making her world feel much warmer.Out of the blue, she was reminded of her late father, affecting her mood slightly.Releasing a long sigh, she gazed at Stanley Batton and the others. “Can I go outside for a bit? I’ll be back very soon.”The Batton family had overseen and held Jeremy Quest’s funeral during Xyla’s postpartum recovery period, so she couldn't attend it despite being his daughter.It was now time for her to pay her respects to her late father ever since she left the hospital.Xyla wanted to wait until her postpartum recovery period was over before personally holding the burial service for him, but Yaksha disagreed with her decision.Doing so would affect his luck in his next life, possibly even cause him to become a wandering spirit.She asked for details, but he wouldn’t explain any further and insisted that they held the burial service on his chosen date.Yaksha also forbade her

Xyla Quest took the white chrysanthemums from Stanley Batton before kneeling to place them on the ground to pay her respects to her father, Jeremy Quest.“Dad, I’m here to see you,” she said, moving closer to the tombstone and hugging it tightly. The tombstone was akin to a metaphorical knife that stabbed into her heart, causing tears to trickle down her face without her realizing it, blurring her vision.“Dad, I’m sorry. I came late. How are you doing up there?” Xyla asked.No matter what she said in the past, her father would always reply. But now, it was no longer possible.She would never be able to hear his voice again.Right then, memories of her and her father appeared in her mind like an old film playing before her eyes.Stanley Batton's brows furrowed before kneeling to pay his respects.He then gently ruffled Xyla’s hair and glanced at Jeremy Quest’s photo on the tombstone. “Dad, don’t worry. I’ll take good care of Xyla. I won’t let her suffer a day for the rest of h

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.
