Xyla Quest immediately shook her head. “No thanks, Mom. I’ve had enough meat today.”Besides, she still had a bowl full of chicken drumstick meat.Stanley Batton obediently put his chicken drumstick into her bowl. “Have some more,” he said with a smile.He was used to all this and didn’t think there was anything wrong with it.However, she felt uneasy. “Honey, it’s fine. Have some yourself.”She didn’t want him to feel even worse.Meanwhile, the nannies exchanged glances, once again taken aback by how great Xyla’s parents-in-law were.“Don’t mind him. Just eat it,” Sharon Lindt said, feeding her a piece of meat he had put into her bowl.Xyla felt even more guilty when she ate it, feeling sorry for her husband, whose status in his own family was worsening by the day.“Mom, you should look after Stanley, too,” she said softly, shooting a pointed look at her mother-in-law.Sharon couldn’t stand it when Xyla looked at her like this, knowing she’d cave in each time.She smiled, s

Right then, Leon Batton started laughing as he looked at Xyla Quest, warming her heart.She held him gently in her arms and smiled. “Leon, what are you laughing at? Hmm?”He continued to laugh while looking at her.He was beaming.Seeing Leon smile like this put Xyla in a great mood.A child’s smile was the purest thing in the world. It could put anyone at ease.No matter what Xyla encountered out there, she’d feel better whenever she came home to Leon and Lynette Batton.Soon, Stanley Batton finished doing the dishes and came back to sit down next to his wife, picking up his daughter carefully.“Mr. Batton, do you have a favorite between your daughter or your son?” one of the nannies asked.“I love both of them equally,” he answered without hesitation at the question. “My children are the most wonderful gifts Xyla has ever given me.”He really didn’t prefer either of his children more than the other.He loved them equally and fairly.In his world, men and women were equals

After that, the couple worked on their individual interests.Xyla Quest watched videos of trainees taking examinations on her laptop while Stanley Batton sorted through work emails on his laptop.Although they were both quietly engrossed with different things, they felt completely at ease next to each other in their room.The standard of trainees in X Entertainment was much improved, impressing Xyla by what she saw.Every single one of the trainees was capable of launching solo careers. Most importantly, they all looked good, with both sexes possessing exquisite facial features that made them stand out in different ways.X Entertainment rarely hired trainees who had undergone cosmetic surgeries before.They each had their own unique qualities.Watching attractive people always makes one feel happy.Xyla felt in an even better mood when she saw their lovely faces.After Stanley sorted through some documents, he began a video conference with high-level executives in foreign su

Stanley Batton hadn't turned off his microphone, so participants on the conference call could see and hear him clearly.Hence, they were all charmed by the man as they began exchanging knowing looks and smiles on camera.Beside him, Xyla Quest shook her head. “It’s fine, you can continue. I’ll keep you company.”“Okay,” he uttered before shifting his attention back to the conference call.Suddenly, his facial expression turned cold again, a complete one-eighty from when he looked at Xyla earlier.Everyone was already used to how he possessed double standards when it came to his wife, so they all merely looked at each other and smiled as the meeting continued.However, the top executives were all privately envious of his wife, wishing he would speak to them as he spoke to her.If that happened, they wouldn’t have to feel so nervous when they saw him.Even if it was only a conference call, they had to be attentive and not make a single mistake in their presentations.Approximate

“I’m tired of saying I’m envious of Xyla.”“If Xyla and Stanley ever get a divorce, I won’t believe in love anymore.”“Ahh, Stanley is like the ideal male protagonist in a novel, isn’t he? He’s the real-life dominant CEO!”“Stanley is the ideal husband in every woman’s heart, isn’t he? Xyla is indeed the luckiest woman on the internet.”“Xyla is extremely pretty. I have to work hard for several years to afford just one of the accessories she’s wearing!”Everyone was praising Xyla Quest in the comment section.She briefly glanced through the comments emotionlessly before exiting the topic. They were nothing she hadn't heard before since she was a child.She was constantly offered flowers, praises, and applause apart from an awkward phase growing up.She checked on the list of hot topics again, finding many of them related to her and her husband.‘#Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton#’, ‘#Xyla is the luckiest woman in the world#’, and ‘#Stanley is the real-life version of a male prota

Smiling warmly, Xyla Quest approached Sharon Lindt from behind to hug her. “Good morning, Mom. It smells wonderful in here. Did you actually bake bread?”“Yes. You mentioned that you like freshly baked bread, so I baked some for you. You can have a few during breakfast later and bring a few more with you to the office. You can eat them when you’re hungry,” Sharon told her.She instantly felt warm in her heart hearing that. Although Sharon wasn’t her birth mother, it felt like she was.Perhaps her own mother wouldn’t even treat her as well as she did.“All right, Mom. You’re so good to me, just like a birth mother would treat her own daughter.”Frankly, she had never lacked anything since she was a child except for one thing... a mother’s love.Her birth mother died when she was still a child, so she never got to experience motherly love.She was able to experience that with Sharon.Her life was complete now that a missing piece of her childhood had been filled.“Silly child.

When Xyla Quest came downstairs, she looked everywhere for Stanley Batton, but he was nowhere in sight.“Yes. Something came up at the office, so he’s already left,” Sharon Lindt told her.“What happened?”“Nothing major. I think he had to sign a few documents,” Sharon said.“Oh.”Seeing that her mother-in-law declined her help, she turned around and walked into the living room with light footsteps. She then spent some time playing with her two children.They seemed like a happy family.Sharon kept herself busy in the kitchen while feeling overjoyed to see everyone enjoying themselves outside.She thought that she must’ve rescued the galaxy in her past life to deserve to live such a great life now with a wonderful daughter-in-law like Xyla.She soon finished preparing breakfast that included a tray of delicious-looking bread in various shapes and sizes, three sets of vegetable-and-fruit salad, three sunny-side-up eggs, toasts, freshly made blueberry jam, and orange-flavored

The competition hadn’t started, so everyone had their focus on Stanley Batton and Xyla Quest, who had long appeared on the large screen.They looked great from every angle.Despite the unflattering lighting at the venue, they still looked attractive on the large screen.They were the center of attention in the crowd.Meanwhile, Josh Batton had informed the crew in advance that he wanted to remain discreet, so the broadcasting director didn’t direct any cameras at him.Josh and Annabeth Cates kept a low profile with disguises.Nobody noticed that Josh was there with all eyes on his brother and Xyla, and their every move magnified on the large screen.However, they remained calm, neither caring about being in front of cameras.It didn’t matter how many cameras were pointed at them as they would always appear serene and collected.After the two of them chatted for a while, they began playing with their own phones.Xyla scrolled through the League of Legends feed on ESPN while St

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.
