Stanley Batton pinched his forehead helplessly before walking up to Xyla Quest. “Are you hungry?” he asked softly.Xyla was in a much better mood after playing with her child. She nodded as she was beginning to feel hungry.“Oh, look at me. I’d forgotten that I already prepared dinner," Sharon Lindt exclaimed when she heard them. "You should hurry down to the kitchen and eat your dinner. Stan, heat the food up for Xyla, will you? She should eat something warm now.”“Okay, got it,” Stanley answered obediently.“Also, Xyla shouldn't be touching cold water or there could be issues later,” she added.“All right, I know.”The nannies were observing their exchange speechlessly, exchanging glances every so often.They were able to establish each family member's ranking from the short time they’d spent with the Batton family.Xyla and Sharon came first, followed by the two children, and then Wilson and Stanley came lastIt was a strange family.These women had worked for many rich

The weather had changed drastically outside, turning everything dark around Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton.They couldn’t even see their own hands.Xyla subconsciously wrapped her arms around Stanley’s neck.Why was this strange phenomenon taking place? Was the nine-tailed demon fox here?Stanley tightened his hold on his wife, not daring to let go as he frowned while peering around cautiously.And then everything brightened up again, causing them to squint.Right then, Xyla noticed a book and a silver hairpin on the final step of the staircase not far away from where they stood.The silver hairpin had a simple yet elegant design with a red gemstone engraved on its edge.Xyla was stunned.Meanwhile, a look of surprise also appeared across Stanley’s face as he promptly carried Xyla down the stairs before setting her down carefully.He then picked up the silver hairpin and book.The book was the classic kind of book they frequently saw in period dramas with a dark blue cover.

In the next second, both Stanley Batton and Xyla Quest heard a woman’s voice.“Keep these objects with you. They will be useful at a critical moment.”Her voice was unusually delicate and pleasant to hear.It didn’t sound like an ordinary human’s voice.Although they could hear her, they couldn’t see the woman as their eyes darted around, looking for the disembodied voice.Then, the couple exchanged glances when they found nothing except a light floral scent in the house.There was an aroma of wintersweet flowers and even hints of snow when Xyla inhaled deeply.Did an elf or a fairy come to their aid? Or was this the nine-tailed demon fox’s disguise?Xyla’s instincts were telling her that it was the former.“Don’t overthink it. I’m not the nine-tailed demon fox. Keep those objects.” The woman’s voice still sounded gentle.Xyla’s eyes filled with wonder again.It was impressive that the woman knew what she was thinking.She only denied being the nine-tailed demon fox, but sh

“Yeah,” Stanley Batton replied.“I think she's related to the plum flower birthmarks on the back of our children’s hands,” Xyla Quest said.“Yeah,” he uttered.“That’s why I think she was telling the truth. My instincts tell me the same,” she added.“Yeah.” Appearing to be lost in thoughts, Stanley said very little, and seeing him this way made her a little curious.“What is it?”Stanley gently hugged her before holding onto the book in his hand. “I just feel that all this is getting stranger by the second.”Xyla nodded slightly. “Yeah.”Things were getting stranger.“She said the objects would be able to help us during a crucial moment. What did she mean by that?“Maybe the silver hairpin contained magic or fairy essence?“Maybe something sealed inside will come out and help us during a crucial moment?“And what about the blank book? It doesn’t look like it contains any fairy essence. I can’t see what it’s useful for, but maybe it's a martial art manual or a cultivation ma

“Stan, why did you get a book? I’ve never seen anyone wearing a book as a pendant. What if you sweat or if it gets wet? Wouldn’t that damage it?”Sharon Lindt then curiously reached out to finger it, but she suddenly felt a jolt of electricity.In the next instant, a mysterious force pushed her hand away.“Ahh!” she yelped before taking a few steps back, her hand feeling tender from the jolt.She instantly realized that there was something odd about the pendant.After being exposed to numerous mystical things in the world, she immediately understood what was going on.Her eyes pierced deeply at Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton, but they simultaneously shook their heads at her, hinting at her not to speak or ask any questions for now.Sharon nodded knowingly and held her tongue.Even if they hadn't hinted, she wouldn’t have said anything in front of so many people.Wilson Batton hurried over and held Sharon’s hand when he noticed her strange behavior. “What is it? Did you get hurt

Sharon Lindt couldn’t quite understand the fairy’s behavior, but it wasn't her place to question it. She must have had her reasons for doing so.It was probably because she didn’t want to worry regular folks like her.Xyla Quest nodded. “She probably didn’t want to scare you and the children.”She instantly felt warm in her heart when she thought of this.Sharon nodded. “I was thinking the same thing. That fairy is wonderful.”“All right, you must keep these things a secret, got it?” Xyla asked.“Don’t worry, I will definitely keep it a secret. I never spill any secrets,” Sharon assured them. Xyla nodded.“Did you two have enough to eat earlier? Especially you, Xyla?” Sharon asked as she turned to gaze at her.Xyla chuckled. “Yeah, I’m full.”“That’s great. Did Stan serve you well?” she inquired.“Yes, very well.”“Better than me?” she added, lifting an eyebrow.“It’s the same,” Xyla replied.Sharon felt relieved right away. She then turned her attention to her son. “Get

Apart from Stanley Batton and the children, everyone else in the nursery was frozen in place.It was as if somebody had pressed pause on the computer.Sharon Lindt walked up to Wilson Batton and gently touched his face. “What’s going on?”After that, Sharon felt even more shocked.Wilson seemed normal, still breathing, but he couldn't respond at all. He didn't move or smile. It was as if he had been petrified.Sharon’s eyes filled with tears. “Stan, what’s going on?”Despite having been through a lot, Sharon couldn’t remain calm.How could somebody become like this suddenly?Xyla Quest quickly approached Wilson and touched him, her eyes narrowing with worry right after.Stanley frowned. “Don’t be nervous. It’ll be all right real soon.”“What do you mean?” Sharon asked.He pinched his forehead slightly. “I’m sure you know what Xyla and I experienced earlier. That person came to give our children a necklace each after you left.”“She decided to petrify them temporarily so a

However, Sharon Lindt believed that good would always triumph over evil.“Yeah,” Xyla Quest said.While they spoke, Wilson Batton and the others soon recovered.They looked at Xyla and Sharon Lindt in confusion as if something strange had happened.“Xyla, when did you and Sharon come back? Why didn’t I notice?” Wilson asked.As he spoke, he picked up Lynette Batton, who was closest to him, and gazed down at her affectionately.He was surprised to see a necklace with a red diamond around her neck. “I don’t recall seeing anything around her neck previously.”“You just hadn’t noticed it. It has been under her clothes since the beginning,” Sharon told him dismissively.“Is that so?” Wilson asked in a daze, wondering how he missed that.He then turned to look at Leon, noticing a similar necklace around his neck but with a different color.“Why does Leon have a necklace, too?” he wondered, recalling there wasn’t anything there earlier.However, he might not have noticed it, either

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.
