Xyla Quest lost all her good habits ever since she got together with Stanley Batton because he would handle everything for her under any circumstances and at any time.She never had to worry about these things.She felt she could do anything before he came into her life, but now, she had lost the ability to do anything except for making money.She’d come to depend on him in their daily lives, constantly waiting for him to prepare everything for her.This kind of dependency gave her a sense of security, and she'd become addicted to it.Presently, Stanley led her into a western restaurant on a cruise ship, strolling through a brightly lit deck.Red roses decorated its path, making it seem like a garden in her dreams.A gentle breeze blew against her face, carrying the fragrant scent of roses, making her feel at ease.The deck was devoid of people, and even the dining tables were empty, making it appear unusually spacious.“This is wonderful," Xyla said happily as she peered arou

“No wonder! This restaurant is pretty awesome,” Xyla Quest declared.“I invited him to come,” Stanley Batton told her.“Oh, impressive! I like his food.”He then took a bite of a piece of medium-rare beef. “Do you?” he asked, lowering his gaze to cut a piece of beef before feeding it to her.“Yeah, I do,” she nodded with a smile, chewing in contentment.“That’s settled, then. I’ll hire the chef to work at our house from now on,” he decided.“Let’s not," she said hastily. "You know I’m not used to having too many strangers in the house.”“In that case, forget it. I’ll learn a few things from this chef and do the cooking from now on.”“Okay, but I think my husband is better than any Michelin star chef,” she teased. She wasn’t lying.Stanley’s cooking skills were indeed on par with Michelin star chefs.He had improved by leaps and bounds after lots of practical cooking experience.“Really?” he questioned, grinning at her words.There wasn’t a man who didn’t like to be prai

The twins welcomed their father, Stanley Batton, and began to play with him.No matter which toy he asked for, they would willingly give it to him as long as the three of them were having fun.Gentle as he was, Stanley seemed to be surrounded by a halo while creating happy memories with his kids.He accompanied them until almost noon before heading to the office, even though he had a lot of work pending.En route there, he received a call from Zack Cassidy. “Mr. Batton, we are all waiting for you to chair the meeting. Have you been delayed for some reason?”He calmly glanced at his watch then, discovering it was already eleven o’clock.Yesterday, he had set up a meeting with high-level executives at ten o’clock this morning.It completely slipped his mind while busy playing with his children.He pinched his forehead calmly. “I was spending time with the kids and forgot about it. I’ll be there right away.”With that, he ended the call, not realizing that Zack’s phone was on lou

Xyla Quest instantly felt her heart calming down at that moment upon seeing Sharon Lindt and Wilson Batton. After that, she peeked at Stanley Batton, feeling deeply touched.They were here to have a good time, but she'd wanted to go home because she missed the children.Not only did her husband and parents-in-law not think of her as being troublesome, but they even brought her children to her from home.They were willing to play along to her every whim.She would never forget this warm feeling.Right now, she was so moved that she began to get choked up.“Dad and Mom, thank you,” she smiled with tears in her eyes before reaching for Lynette Batton in Sharon’s arms to hold her.She pressed her face against Lynette’s, then moved closer to Wilson Batton to press a soft kiss on Leon Batton’s forehead.His eyes flew open in an instant, watching her quietly with his glistening eyes.Xyla wished she could become one with her children and never leave them.Meanwhile, Stanley smiled

There were many things that Xyla Quest had overlooked, but Sharon Lindt had already thought of in advance.“What did you bring me?” Stanley Batton asked jokingly.“I brought your children to you. What do you think?” Sharon replied drily.“You sure are my mother,” he chuckled.“You’re a grown man, anyway. You can wear and eat whatever you want. It doesn’t matter,” she stated, rendering him speechless.Xyla couldn’t resist laughing.“Xyla, what do you want to eat? Sharon asked. "Tell me. I’ll cook for you right away.”She promptly shook her head. “Please don’t. You and Dad came all the way here. It must have been exhausting. You should go upstairs and rest first.”“We already rested on the flight. We slept all the way here. Tell us, what do you want to eat?” Wilson asked.“How about Mom’s specialty pork ribs?” Stanley asked.“Do you want that, Xyla?” his mother asked.She nodded.“I'll cook that since you want to eat it,” Sharon said with an affectionate look at her.“What e

Wilson Batton, Sharon Lindt, and Stanley Batton soon finished preparing a tableful of dishes for Xyla Quest.Apart from the three dishes she requested, they also prepared shrimps in tomato sauce, oysters with garlic sauce, steamed lobsters, and abalone soup.Feeling happy to see all the food she liked, Xyla was stuffing herself again without realizing it.The family vacation lasted for an entire week, only flying back to Atlantis on their private jet when she wanted to return to the country.After returning to Atlantis, everyone reverted to their own programs.Xyla and Stanley were busy with life and work, while Sharon and Wilson looked after the children.Everyone focused on their own responsibilities, and life was great.Over time, the weather became warm. People in Atlantis went from wearing warmer clothes to summer outfits.Despite the warmer temperature outside, it was always cool in Xyla's office as they had the air-conditioning turned on.Xyla went to X Entertainment to

Selina Hollander was considered a time bomb if they kept her in the company after garnering a lot of bad press.The company had to put a lot of public relations effort into concealing her negative reputation during her contract term.“Let her leave then,” Xyla Quest said in nonchalance when she heard the actress' demand.Everyone was shocked and promptly made their opinions heard.“Ms. Quest, are you sure?” Georgie Clementine asked.“Yeah, she’s a famous actress now. For someone born after the year 2000, she’s highly regarded by people in the industry.”“I think it’s a waste if we let her leave just like this.”“I think so, too. Should we discuss this further?”However, Xyla didn’t seem concerned. “Do you think X Entertainment is lacking actresses?”She could groom a new actress whenever she wanted.Over the past few years, the company produced many successful actresses.“I think you’re being too careless,” a high-level executive said.“I don’t like keeping time bombs like

Xyla Quest finished with work after replying to each email. She immediately stood up, checking the time on her computer again to discover that it was already seven o’clock in the evening.Outside the French windows behind her, she could see lights of greens and reds everywhere.Turning around, she walked over to those windows, mesmerized by the lively night scenery of the city that came into sight.The spotless mirror in front of her reflected her appearance right now.She seemed tired.Feeling some stiffness, Xyla pinched her neck and gently rotated her head slightly, feeling much more relaxed after.She remained standing near the windows to observe the view outside for a while. She then picked up her limited-edition Hermes purse and phone before preparing to leave.Right then, the office door opened, and Stanley Batton strolled in.He wore a white shirt and formal black pants, his long legs apparent with his shirt tucked in.He had the perfect body proportions.Despite se

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.
