Xyla Quest instantly looked up at Wilson Batton. “What is it, Dad?”“Forget it. We’ll talk after lunch,” he replied.“Come on, what is it?”Could this be related to the surprise that the nanny mentioned?Wilson shook his head. “It’s nothing that can't wait until after you've eaten.”Nodding obediently, Xyla lowered her eyes and resumed eating quietly, much to the approval and adoration of Sharon Lindt upon seeing how pliant she was.Seeing her pretty daughter-in-law like this made her want to spoil her rotten.Wilson felt the same way.In his heart, he treated Xyla as his biological daughter.Beep, beep, beep—Sharon’s phone started ringing right then. Seeing the caller as her son, Stanley Batton, she promptly answered the call.“What is it, Son?”“Is Xyla awake?” he asked.“Yes, she’s having lunch,” she answered.“How’s her appetite?” he questioned.“Fantastic.”“Okay, don’t let her eat anything that might upset her stomach. She needs to eat clean,” he reminded.“I kn

“All right,” Xyla Quest replied.“Stay home and rest in the afternoon. Don’t walk around too much, and don’t play with your phone,” Stanley Batton reminded.“Okay,” she agreed readily.“Good girl.”“What are you doing now?” she asked, already missing him although they hadn’t been apart for long.“Nothing in particular. I’m just checking how everyone’s doing in each department,” he answered.“Oh. I’m having my lunch now. Your mother’s cooking is delicious,” she declared.Stanley chuckled. “Have some more, then. How about our children? Have they been good?”Apart from his wife and parents, he now had his children to miss.Xyla broke into a grin when he mentioned their children, her gaze softening. “They’ve been amazing. They’re just as happy and adorable as they were yesterday.”“Okay, you should continue with lunch. I’ll see you tonight,” he told her.“Okay.”Stanley ended the call wearing a smile on his face.Seeing how gentle and happy Stanley seemed next to him, Zack Cas

Stanley Batton instantly answered when he saw the caller was Sebastian Brenand. “What’s up?”“Rachel Wood is missing,” Sebastian said without much preamble, sounding very worried.Stanley could even sense his desperation through the phone.Frowning deeply, he asked, “When did she go missing?”“She’s been gone since last night," Sebastian answered. "All she left behind was a letter, telling me not to look for her. I only saw the letter after my meeting, but she might have left it in the morning.“I don’t know what time exactly she left because the indoor surveillance cameras lost signal in the morning while the exterior ones also failed to capture Rachel leaving. I’ve searched for her at the airport and train stations. I’ve looked everywhere. There were no signs that Rachel left,” he added in desperation.Hearing this, Xyla Quest moved closer to Stanley’s phone with a shocked expression.“What else was in the letter? Did she tell you why?” Stanley asked.Sebastian took a deep br

Sebastian Brenand was now sporting a messy, untrimmed beard, appearing exhausted.He handed his letter over to Xyla Quest the moment he walked in. “Here, what did you want to tell me?”With that, he promptly reached for a chair, placing it next to Xyla and Stanley Batton’s bed before sinking down on it.Xyla stayed in bed and directly opened Rachel Wood’s letter, noticing a dried tear mark in the center of a red flower at the bottom right of the paper.It was indicative of how heartbroken Rachel had been as she wrote this letter.However, the mark was faint, so no one would notice it with a single glance.Frowning deeply, she peered at Sebastian. “Before Rachel left, did anything happen between the two of you? Or did Rachel show any odd behavior?”Sebastian shook his head. “No, everything was fine between us. We went shopping after leaving your place the other day, and then she asked me to take her out to a fancy place for dinner. "After dinner, she was very affectionate and g

Xyla Quest was rather fond of Rachel Wood, despite not spending much time with her before. They got along quite well when they met. Xyla hoped nothing had happened to her.“Look, Rachel was crying when she wrote this letter. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but here’s a tear mark," Xyla said, pointing to a faint smudge on the letter. "What does this mean? It means she was reluctant to leave you and possibly forced to do so.”Sebastian Brenand immediately grabbed the letter to scrutinize it.Indeed, he managed to see the tear mark under the light.At that point, he became extremely upset as he found Xyla’s analysis made sense.His parents must have forced Rachel to leave him. That was the better scenario. In another, Rachel could be locked up somewhere or worse.The more he thought about it, the more upset he felt. His knees were so weak, he might fall at any second.Seeing his reaction, Xyla slowly got out of bed and gently touched his arm. “These are all just my guesses. Per

Xyla Quest had many people by her side, but Sebastian Brenand was all alone.She sensed that Stanley Batton would want to spend time with Sebastian since they were good friends.Stanley instantly felt warmth flowing from his heart at her words, glad that his wife could understand him.With a troubled frown, he nodded wordlessly in agreement.Right then, Sebastian also felt warmth in his heart. Forcing a smile, he looked at Xyla. “Thank you, Xyla. You’re a beautiful and kind soul.”“Don’t mention it.”Stanley left with Sebastian not long after.At first, Xyla wanted to use her hacking skills to help him shed some light on some scenarios. She could hack into his parents’ surveillance system and phones to check if they’d contacted Rachel Wood.However, Stanley had already informed Zack Cassidy to do so.It was a simple task, so Xyla didn’t need to go the extra mile.The person Zack hired would find out everything even if she didn’t do anything.Xyla sat for a while until soon e

“Who told you about that?” Xyla Quest asked.Sharon Lindt answered truthfully. “A friend of mine owns the place Rachel used to work at. He was the one who told me, but I don’t know if Sebastian’s family found out about it.“I think that might be why his parents disapprove of their relationship,” she added.Xyla frowned upon realizing that they couldn't keep it a secret after all.No matter how hard Sebastian Brenand tried to hide it, the secret still ended up surfacing somehow.“You have no idea how the women in our circle talk behind each others' backs. They talk about Sebastian and his family all the time. I guess his parents probably couldn’t take it any longer," Sharon sighed.“For me, I’d give in no matter how much I disliked the girl as long as my son wants to be with her and nobody else," she went on.“Not all hostesses are immoral. Some had no other choice. I heard this was the case for Rachel. I also heard that she lost her virginity to Sebastian, and nobody else slept

Stanley Batton wore a white shirt with a black suit under a long, black woolen coat. His appearance was like a dominant CEO described in novels.There was a cold, noble aura that surrounded him.After getting out of the car, he subconsciously looked up in Xyla Quest’s direction, his lips instantly curving into a smile when he saw her.At that moment, the coldness around him dissipated.Stanley hastened his footsteps into the house with a bag of roasted chestnuts, heading directly into the bedroom where his wife greeted him with a hug as soon as he entered.“How did it go? Did you find out who did it?” she asked eagerly as she inhaled the agarwood cologne on Stanley’s body. His unique scent made her feel very warm and safe.His arms wrapped around Xyla, returning her hug. “Yeah, you were right. Sebastian’s parents made Rachel leave.”Xyla didn’t reveal any emotions when she heard this.She pulled away from Stanley to gaze up at him. “What?”Frowning, he handed the bag of roaste

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

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.

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.
