“My husband and I have decided to set up the Love Charity Foundation because we want to help children in need.“We hope we can help children from poverty-stricken families by financially providing for them in terms of education and healthcare.“I believe that we’ll be able to help many people in need with the support of all the generous people in this hall,” Xyla Quest said.The first part of her speech ended with thunderous applause.“As for donations, I will leave it up to each individual on how much you’d like to donate. You're not obligated to contribute if you don’t want to.“Thank you to everyone who does. Otherwise, consider this as a free concert on my part,” she went on in earnest.“Tonight's performances are all very entertaining, brought to you by excellent artistes from X Entertainment.“Without further ado, please enjoy the performances.” With that, Xyla bowed to the audience, perfectly composed despite many eyes on her.Meanwhile, reporters were also pointing ca

Xyla Quest basically hadn't stopped talking the entire night while acting as host.Her legs were in pain after standing all night long in four-inched high heels.Not only that, but her throat also felt sore.Stanley Batton immediately retrieved the single-use slippers he had prepared in advance, helping her to change into them. “I told you to hire an emcee, but you wouldn’t listen,” he chided gently.“I think it would seem more sincere if I hosted the banquet myself," she replied in exhaustion.“Indeed, it was, but you ended up exhausting yourself,” he said.“But it was worth it, don’t you think so? We’ve raised a lot of money tonight, and these funds can help countless families.”Whenever Xyla thought about this, she’d feel that all that exhaustion was worth it.Stanley shook his head helplessly, but he still had an affectionate look on his face. “I don’t know what to do with you.”She merely chuckled but didn’t reply.Sharon Lindt gazed sadly at her. “I told you to wear fla

“Love Charity Foundation? Stanley Batton must fear that other people don’t know how much he loves Xyla. Haha!”“This couple is epic. They'd find ways to show off their love even while doing good deeds. Haha!”“I’d like to know if Xyla and Stanley would help people with this money. Would they?”“Hey, stop coming up with those nasty ideas. Do you think the two of them would care about a few billion dollars?”“Nobody would mind having more money, would they? Even if they are rich, they’d still have an appetite for a few more billions.”When Xyla Quest saw those comments, she directly forwarded the one questioning whether they would help people with the money, and then posted a reply of her own.“All transactions related to the Love Charity Foundation would be transparent. You don’t have to worry about this,” she wrote.As soon as she published her reply, there were already numerous forwards, likes, and comments—“Hahaha, the statement that Xyla would care about such small amounts

The Batton family suggested having a full-scale rehearsal to ensure everything went smoothly during the wedding ceremony. On the eve of the wedding, Sharon Lindt insisted that Stanley Batton stay over at a designated hotel so that he could officially receive the bride the next day.Close relatives of the Batton family arrived early on the morning of the wedding day, each tasked with helping out Sharon.Meanwhile, Xyla Quest sat calmly in front of the dressing table in her bedroom, being fussed over by the best female makeup artist in the country.Her hair was styled in a simple chignon that showed her clear forehead, emphasizing her distinct facial features.At the moment, she had her eyes closed as the makeup artist worked on her bridal makeup, which took an hour to complete.After some finishing touches, her eyes slowly opened, catching her reflection in the mirror in front of her.She looked stunningly beautiful.She wore seemingly elegant nude makeup, but there were tiny d

The woman in the mirror looked like a princess from a fairy tale.The makeup artist couldn’t resist raising her thumbs at Xyla Quest upon seeing her reflection. “You look stunning!”Xyla chuckled. “Thank you.”“Here, it's time to put this on,” the other woman said as she brought over a white wedding dress from the bed. The dress made of genuine silk shimmered brilliantly under the light.Xyla changed into the wedding dress with her help, sighing in contentment as it slid on to fit her perfectly, fully accentuating the perfect curves of her body.She looked tall and sexy in the long dress, with its hem that just about covered her legs, highlighting her excellent physique.Her mood improved as she studied her reflection in the mirror, thinking it was well worth her efforts to go on a strict diet to fit into this dress. She was worried she might either gain or lose too much weight and end up not being able to wear the dress on the most important day in her life.She was about t

Clearly, the wedding was the talk of the town.Xyla Quest casually clicked on the first hot topic, finding several posts from marketing accounts that forwarded her makeup artist’s post on social media earlier.There were already millions of forwards, likes, and comments under each post, with netizens making all sorts of statements—“Xyla is like a princess. She looks gorgeous in that wedding dress.”“I can’t find the words to describe how beautiful Xyla looks.”“I think I can understand how happy Stanley must feel.”“I think I know why Stanley is so in love with Xyla now. I feel the same way even as a woman.”“I’ve got to admit that I’m physically attracted to Xyla. Am I going mad? I’m a woman.”Xyla couldn’t help but laugh as she read such comments.Meanwhile, Stanley Batton was flying toward his house in a helicopter outside, accompanied by many other helicopters behind his. It was a majestic sight to behold as they formed a long line of helicopters, drawing the attention

The makeup artist placed a veil over Xyla Quest's head after she had changed into her main wedding dress.The veil also had eight-carat diamonds engraved on it, making the entire outfit feel so heavy she felt the need to expel a lot of energy to wear it.Despite the weight, the ensemble made Xyla look distinct and luminous.The other woman couldn’t resist gasping as she placed a mirror in front of the bride once the look was complete.“What do you think?”Her reflection was radiant and exquisite, like a flower in full bloom.Xyla nodded, not minding the extra weight of her outfit as long as she looked pretty.On this day, the only thing that mattered was that she looked good.Upon seeing the look of satisfaction on her face, the makeup artist carefully lowered the veil before assisting her back to the passenger seat.Stanley Batton felt as if his soul was shaking when he saw his bride's brand-new look.She was gorgeous.Nobody in the world looked better than her.Even the p

It was the first time they came to a venue with so many people, so naturally, the twins were excited as their small, dark eyes darted around.Everything seemed new and exciting to them.Apart from the helicopters, Lynette Batton and Leon Batton were at the center of attention, with numerous guests making funny faces to entertain them.Some even took photos of them with their phones.To their amusement, the children were cooperative, too, smiling at everyone they saw and melting people's hearts while they were at it.The wedding march soon began while everyone watched.Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton’s helicopter gradually landed on the deck as their wedding song played.The groom disembarked first, holding the cabin door open for his bride as he helped her out as a perfect gentleman. With everyone watching in anticipation, Xyla held his hand and walked onto the red carpet one step at a time, heading toward the priest.With the warm sunlight shining over them, the diamonds she w

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.
