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

Everyone clapped in excitement for a prolonged period, only dying down when the priest smiled at Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton. “I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may exchange your symbols of love.”Stanley retrieved two ring boxes from his pocket before handing one to Xyla while holding the other in his hand.Then, they simultaneously opened their ring boxes.The bride held a modest masculine ring with a three-carat diamond, while the groom had a lavish and sizeably feminine crown-shaped diamond ring in his hand.Together, the couple exchanged rings moments before the priest announced, “Mr, Batton, you may now kiss your bride.”At his words, Stanley directly lifted Xyla’s veil and pulled her into his arms to claim her lips, their eyes filling up with tears while everyone watched.At that moment, their lives couldn't be more perfect.They had no regrets left.Thunderous applause erupted again while Sharon Lindt and the others couldn’t help but feel emotional at the sigh

“Thank you for entering my life and letting me feel how it’s like to be pampered and loved.“In the past, I’d always complain about how life was unfair. Since we met, I have realized that life has been very good to me.“Life wasn’t being unfair. It simply kept the best for last. In this case, that’s you.“Meeting you at the right time is the best thing that ever happened to me.“Stanley, let’s stay together forever,” Xyla Quest said.Stanley Batton’s eyes turned even redder, smiling and nodding as he pulled his wife into his arms and kissed her thoroughly.People applauded and cried.“I never knew Stanley was this good at delivering speeches,” Sebastian Brenand stated.“Me neither. I never knew he had it in him,” Henry Armstrong said.“That was probably the most Stanley has ever said in his life,” Gary Lakes spoke up with a chuckle.“It’s very touching," Rachel Wood sighed dreamily. "I feel so envious.”Henry smiled when he saw the glimmer in her eyes, a plan starting to for

Xyla Quest closed Weibo after a brief perusal over the comments, plagued with sudden thoughts of Sophie Kenwick.A while ago, Sophie had mentioned being unwell and needing to retreat to a quiet place for some time.Sophie would only respond with short replies before ending their conversation whenever she'd contacted her.She hadn’t even committed to attending Xyla and Stanley’s wedding.Xyla felt increasingly worried about her condition and attempted to contact her before the wedding, but she wasn't successful.She tried calling again at the thought, but her call went unanswered.Her good mood quickly faded as she frowned deeply.Stanley took notice of her mood change. “What’s the matter?”“Nothing. I just thought of Sophie," she replied with a frown. "I wanted to check on her.“I told her about our wedding long ago, but she didn’t even show up. I think there’s something unusual about this,” she added.His eyebrows creased at her words. He had also been trying to contact Soph

‘Xyla Quest, the billion-dollar bride#’ even claimed the number one spot on all lists of hot topics in Country Z, receiving the most attention on Weibo.People were practically going mad as they discussed the topic.Xyla and Stanley Batton slept until eight o’clock in the evening before their eyes finally opened in pitch-black darkness.He carefully let go of Xyla to turn on the lights, its sudden brightness making her narrow her eyes.Frowning slightly, she murmured and clung onto her husband like an octopus, appearing to be in a daze due to lack of sleep.Seeing her clinging onto him like a kitten made his heart melt.He changed his posture and hugged her tightly, pressing a gentle kiss on her forehead.“Honey, do you want to get up? We should eat something,” he said softly.They hadn’t eaten much since the wedding as they had to entertain guests the entire time during the ceremony.She pressed closer to him again. “Okay, but I don’t know what to eat.”“What would you like?

Xyla Quest nodded, finding herself in a much better mood now that she'd received news about Sophie Kenwick.She slowly got out of bed and pulled Stanley Batton into the bathroom for a shower.Then, he changed clothes and waited for Xyla, who took her time in the bathroom before changing into a white, laced skirt.Since the weather here was much warmer than in Country Z, wearing skirts seemed more appropriate.She stood in front of the mirror to put on some simple makeup, starting with applying a single layer of moisturizer on her face, followed by foundation.Her eyebrows were naturally dark, while her lips were naturally red, so she didn't bother with them to save time.Her face seemed pretty enough.After casually drying her hair, the couple held hands and walked out the door into the night. The stars seemed plentiful and bright at their deserted location away from the city, creating a peaceful environment.Under the sky full of stars, they strolled hand-in-hand along a roa

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.

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.
