“Oh, Alex’s boss is here. D*mn, she’s rich.”“Isn’t that Xyla Quest? She can do anything she wants with her money.”“Who else could it be if not Xyla?”“D*mn! Indeed, it is you, Xyla.”Alex smiled sheepishly when he saw her gifts on his channel. “Thank you, Boss, but you’ve spent too much. You don't have to give me gifts.”“Don’t worry about it,” Xyla Quest immediately replied below.“Would you like to play another round? I’ll still play Support for you. What do you say?” he asked.“No. The others are doing livestreams, too. I’ll go and offer them gifts as well.”“Okay, sure,” he replied.Right then, somebody by the name of Turner sent him a message in the game. “I’m lacking a Support. Would you like to join me?”“No, thanks,” Alex answered without any hesitation.“Why? Aren’t you great as a Support?” Turner wondered.“I don’t like playing Support.”Witnessing their exchange, Xyla didn’t feel anything in particular and left the channel to offer gifts to other team members.

When her world suddenly plunged into darkness, Xyla Quest instantly became fearful and wary of the nine-tailed demon fox.She subconsciously took a deep breath, peering around her hurriedly when she heard footsteps.Her heart racing, she carefully climbed out of bed, listening closely as those footsteps hurried.The door swung open, and then Sharon Lindt walked in with a glowing pearl bracelet, making the room bright again.Each pearl on the bracelet glowed brightly with a green light, illuminating the large room.Xyla finally relaxed. She was pleasantly surprised to find her mother-in-law coming in, bringing a pretty bracelet with her.Sharon then approached her and directly looped the bracelet around her wrist.She had fair skin, so the moment she put on the bracelet, her wrist shone brightly.“Is this a luminous pearl bracelet?” she wondered in astonishment.Each pearl looked green and full-bodied. She couldn’t find a single flaw in them.Sharon nodded with a smile. “Yeah.

“Your father and I are so much happier because of them. Being a senior feels much more exciting now,” Sharon Lindt declared while combing her fingers through Xyla Quest’s hair gently.Xyla wore a soft expression in her eyes. “I’d like to thank you and Dad for looking after the kids.”“It’s an honor to look after our grandchildren," Sharon said. "They are so precious, I’d do anything for them.”Hearing that, Xyla couldn’t resist leaning against her shoulder. “Mom, I honestly feel I must have used up all my luck to marry into the Batton family. I’m so lucky to be your daughter-in-law.”“Silly girl," she said. "We feel very lucky to be your parents-in-law, too. Which family in Atlantis has a prettier and kinder daughter-in-law than you?”Sharon was always saying positive things whenever she talked about Xyla. She seemed to be a true fan of hers.“Oh, stop it," Xyla blushed in embarrassment. "I’m not that perfect.”“Yes, you are. From my perspective, you’re not only the best in Atla

Stanley Batton calmly caressed Xyla Quest’s face. “It’s okay. I’ll be fine once I get used to it.”“What can you do if you don’t get used to it?” Sharon Lindt asked.He was speechless.Seeing that he couldn't retort, Sharon held Xyla’s hand and spoke to her. “Xyla, you just delivered not too long ago. Even though you’re done with postpartum recovery, I still think you shouldn’t tire yourself out.“From now on, you shouldn’t get out of bed so early and try to leave work earlier, too. You don’t have to do all those things yourself. Leave all that to Stanley.“Besides, he is a man, and men seem to have more energy than women anyway,” she added.Xyla couldn’t resist laughing when she heard this.She genuinely felt that Sharon treated her more like her biological daughter than her actual son.Stanley didn’t seem to oppose the idea, though. He nodded in agreement, gently wrapping one arm around her shoulders. “This, I can agree with.”“Did you hear that? Your husband agrees,” his mo

Smiling at her words, Stanley Batton continued adding salad sauce into the glass bowl. “Men should treat their women right.”The nanny had an envious look in her eyes. “There are hardly any forward-thinking men like you these days.”She’d be overjoyed if her daughter could find someone half as decent as Stanley in the future.Although she and Xyla Quest were both women, she could feel the vast difference in their worlds.She couldn't but feel envy for her from the bottom of her heart.He smiled without a reply, focusing on making breakfast.The nanny stepped forward and offered to help upon seeing him make a rather simple meal. “Why don’t you let me do that while you take a break?”“It’s fine. Xyla likes the food I make for her. You can get on with your work,” he replied with a shake of his head.Nodding at his dismissal, the nanny took a bottle of milk from the refrigerator and walked out, leaving the quiet kitchen all to himself.The large space had just enough sunlight in i

A ray of sunlight streamed into the kitchen.It felt like spring outside the French windows.The entire world seemed full of life.Seeing all these early in the morning rejuvenated Xyla Quest as she slowly approached the table just as Sharon Lindt had finished setting it up.“Good morning, Xyla. You’re just in time for breakfast,” Sharon immediately said when she saw her.“Good morning Mom, Dad, and Honey,” she greeted before taking a seat directly next to her husband.“Did you sleep well last night, Xyla?” Sharon asked, gazing affectionately at her when she sat down.She nodded as she glanced at her family, feeling thankful to have them keeping her company after her father died.They were very good to her and never made her feel lacking in love.“Yes, look at how your face is glowing. I knew you’d have slept well. Stan made all your favorites for breakfast today. Have a taste,” Sharon told her before placing an egg-and-ham sandwich in front of her.It was only then that she

Xyla Quest then unlocked her phone and logged in to Weibo to peruse the list of hot topics for today. She immediately noticed her husband's name on one.Hot topic number three; ‘#Stanley Batton waits in line for milk tea#’.Quickly clicking on it, she saw a picture of him waiting in line for her milk tea yesterday evening, published by several marketing accounts.He was standing in the middle of a long queue with approximately twenty people in front of him.Nobody else was more attention-grabbing than Stanley in the crowd.People would spot him at first glance, especially when he had the looks of a handsome male lead in a film or television drama.Even in a crowd, he seemed to be surrounded by countless bright stars, making him more prominent and completely different from the rest.It was like seeing two different species next to each other.The pictures had already garnered many forwards, likes, and comments under the post—“Ahh! D*mn, is Stanley an angel? He looks like a dif

Xyla Quest was very grateful that God brought Stanley Batton into her life.He made her believe in love again when she felt utterly hopeless and allowed her to experience all the best things in the world.On Weibo, netizens were still paying attention to how he had planted flowers all over the city for her.Although she was at the center of attention, she didn’t want to see the comments, so she directly closed the topic.After all, it wasn’t the first time she made it onto the list of hot topics for this reason.Turning around, she gazed at the sea of roses outside, still feeling as touched as she did when she first saw it.Before Stanley showed up in her life, Xyla never thought anyone in the world would love her more than her father.He even treated her like the lead female character in a television drama. He didn't mind if everyone worshipped his wife.Xyla became everyone’s ideal after being with him and had never needed to be envious of anyone else.She had everything she

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

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.
