After Emily was taken away, May’s emotions exploded.

The guests at the door started discussing among themselves. None of them had anything good to say and were all criticizing Emily.

May clenched her fists tight without saying anything, glaring viciously at Xyla’s car.

Xyla completely ignored May as she turned the car around and drove away.

“The Sullivan family must be throwing a fit by now,” Stanley said faintly before leisurely lighting up another cigarette, taking a long draw and then puffing it out. He leaned back lazily into the backrest.

“They should.” Xyla chuckled.

As she spoke, the car reached the gates. She stepped on the accelerator all the way.

The car propelled forward like an arrow.

***

At the Sullivan manor.

The atmosphere inside the house was reaching a freezing point.

Inside the living room, Tom, Julian, Tony, Mary, and Bailey sat still and upright.

Their expressions were extremely ugly.

    “Tom Sullivan, no! I refused to divorce you!!! I don’t want to divorce you!!!” she yelled hysterically at the phone. Immediately after, she mellowed down and started sobbing, begging meekly, “I was wrong, can you forgive me? Brother Sullivan, forgive me… I won’t do it again. I guarantee that from this day onward, I won’t cause trouble anymore or lie to you. Can you forgive me?” There was no response from the other end. Following suit was the bitter sound of the call being hung up. Although it was tiny, she heard it loud and clear. In an instant, it was like she had been pushed into a pit of despair. What should she do? She did not want to lose Tom. She loved Tom. She loved his graceful bearing, his refined personality, and even more so, his family background. How could she easily let go of this excellent man she had snatched with much difficulty? All these years, she had given so much affection and her youth to Tom Sullivan. How could things just end this way? If thin

    As the situation was becoming unfavorable, May immediately fell over, holding a hand to her heart as she gasped loudly, wearing a torturous expression. When he heard the sound, Jeremy looked back at once. Upon seeing this, he hurried back to her and held her up carefully. Jeremy asked in concern, “Are you okay?” May held her heart and shook her head. “No… I’m not. My wound is hurting again. I must have been too agitated.” Jeremy’s heart softened. “Let me take you back into the room to rest.” May shook her head and said through tears, “I don’t want to rest. I think I should just die. With Emily in such a situation, what’s the point of me living? “Honey, I’ve finally realized a lot of things now from my stance. On the one hand, I truly despise her. How can she be so disappointing? She had clearly promised me that she wouldn’t harm Xyla, so why did she do such terrible things? I think she should just accept whatever punishment she receives from the law. “But on the other han

    “Yeah… Xyla, Stan, your aunt is a little unwell, so I’ll be keeping her company. If there’s nothing you guys need, go on ahead and enjoy yourselves, there’s no need to mind us,” said Jeremy. “Alright, Dad, you and Aunty take care of your health,” said Xyla. After that, she turned to leave, tugging the man beside her along. Back inside the car, Xyla’s phone vibrated. Seeing that it was a call from Georgie, Xyla put on her headset to answer the call as she started the car. As she turned the car around, she asked, “What’s up, Georgie?” “President Xyla, Tom has proposed a divorce with Emily, and he was very firm on the decision,” reported Georgie. Xyla smiled. “A divorce?” “Yeah… I went to the detention center to take care of something and heard it from the people there,” Georgie added. Although it was within her expectations, she still felt great when she heard it. “Got it,” said Xyla. After that, she ended the call, stepped on the gas pedal, and the red Maserati sped

    After the call, Lana sent her a WeChat message with the time and location details. She expressed that she would get someone to send Xyla the invitation card. Xyla simply replied with an ‘Okay’. Although Lana did not mention which show it was, Xyla knew. It was Chanel’s grand fashion show in Country Z. Josh and the other more popular celebrities in X Entertainment had received an invitation. Those who could attend such an event were all prestigious aristocrats and celebrities. *** Three days later. After finishing work at Quest Group, Xyla hurried home to put on exquisite makeup before walking into her dazzlingly filled closet and changing into a dress she had prepared in advance for the show. Slightly curled black hair fell naturally at her shoulders. Wearing a white sleeveless tight-fitting knee-length dress, paired with black fur and a tear-shaped diamond necklace the size of a pigeon egg around her neck, she looked noble, beautiful, and pure. She threw on a p

    After their little chat, people started getting into their seats around them. She looked down at the time to realize that the show would be starting soon. When the wives of prominent figures spotted her and Lana, they all came over to say hello and asked for photos. The two women complied. *** Outside the venue. Josh Batton, who had just gotten to the scene, cooperated with his designated photographer and his staff team to take a few shots. He wore a crisp black suit paired with a white shirt and black tie. On his feet were black leather shoes while his hair was combed into a clean 3:7 hairstyle. His bangs have been blow-dried into the trendiest style. His entire look was clean and refreshing. Paired with his distinctive looks, the man attracted countless gazes at the venue. Even the photographer could not help but admire his beautiful face. He kept complimenting as he snapped away, “There are absolutely no bad angles. You look good no matter how I shoot.” At

    Josh cooperated the entire time like a gentleman. After it ended, with the company of his photographer, Josh strode into the hall. With Mary in the lead, the girls quickly followed after him. Their eyes were filled with astonishment. By then, the show had begun. The whole place fell dark, leaving only the runway lit with bright, dazzling lights. A group of models was currently on stage, showcasing the clothes on their bodies professionally. The clothes on display were all women’s wear. However, even with the dim lights, Josh Batton still attracted countless gazes. Everyone could not resist looking at him with amazement in their eyes. Seeing Josh looking around, Mary immediately hurried over to him and asked ardently, “Brother, are you looking for your seat? Which number is it? I’ll help you.” “No need,” Josh replied faintly without looking at her. Instead, his eyes were locked onto Xyla Quest, who was chatting animatedly with Lana. His lips curled into a grin. “

    After that, Xyla introduced Josh to Lana. The trio was chattering on like they were very well acquainted. Mary, who remained standing not too far away, was extremely jealous. In recent years, she had spent a lot of money on him, but Josh never treated her that way before. He was gentle and polite to her, but there was still a sense of detachment. But what about Xyla? They looked very friendly with each other. Having been a fan of Josh Batton for so many years, this was her first time seeing him getting so close to a woman. Even if he co-starred with someone for a film or drama, he would intentionally keep a distance and refrain from chatting this leisurely during the press. The way Josh treated Xyla was Mary’s dream of how he would treat her. Chasing after him for so long and following him everywhere, it was all so that she could get closer to him. But no matter how she tried, it failed. If she could not attain it, why should Xyla? “That’s Xyla Quest, right? Feels lik

    The photo was of their side profiles. However, due to the angle, Xyla Quest’s head seemed to be leaning on Josh Batton’s shoulder in the picture. Her hair was floating, so her hair covered most of her face. Although her looks were not clear, her temperament looked divine. Josh was looking at the runway expressionlessly, seeming to be a little indifferent. In an instant, the ‘Josh Batton’s Wives’ group chat, consisting of three hundred members, immediately exploded. Josh’s Biggest Wife typed, “??? Who is this woman? Is she trying to gain popularity? Don’t touch my husband!!! Angry.jpeg” Josh’s Girlfriend commented, “Can she stay further away from my boyfriend? Where did this fool come from? Who is she? Angry.jpeg” Josh’s Fingernail texted, “This is because our Brother Josh is too popular that he gets flies everywhere he goes. But what’s wrong with that woman? Her head is almost on his shoulder!” Josh’s Cutie added, “We don’t even dare to touch the man, but she’s leaning on

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.

    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?

    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.

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.

    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.
