Then, Leon Batton started telling Xyla Quest about what transpired in the office earlier. He described what the man and his wife said or did and also what the teachers had done.

Their hearts began to pound when they heard themselves mentioned, hoping that he wouldn't divulge too much but they were all surprised by his eloquent speech.

He could narrate such intricate details with emotional depth beyond his years.

This kid was practically a genius.

The more Xyla listened, the more upset she seemed.

She had one particular quirk, and it was that she tend to be protective of her family and friends.

“Okay, excellent.” She glared at the responsible parties once again before waving toward the door’s direction. “Come in, all of you.”

Her bodyguards waiting right outside promptly entered, forming a circle around everyone. They had heard everything Leon described, and now their faces betrayed the rage they felt.

How could they allow these people to trample all over the children like that?

    Xyla Quest glanced at the closed door and then pointed out the kindergarten principal, teachers, and the boy’s parents to her bodyguards. “This one, them, and these two. Perhaps it's time for a proper lesson for the adults for a change.”Xyla was not the sort who would casually choose violence unless it was deemed necessary. But after what happened to Lynette Batton and Leon Batton earlier, none of those she had singled out were innocent.Her children were everything to her, so she would do everything in her power to punish anyone who hurt them.At that moment, her only thought was to take revenge for the pain they had suffered.As her expression hardened at the thought, those people she had pointed out knelt on the ground, preparing to beg for leniency.However, before they could speak, Xyla had turned around and walked out.Recalling everything they said before, she thought of how humble they seemed now.How ironic, she thought to herself.Suddenly, being rich and powerful as

    Xyla Quest considered carefully for a moment. “I’ll have to discuss this with your father tonight. There’s no rush.”Leon Batton and Lynette Batton nodded simultaneously.“All right, let’s go home. We need to get an ice pack for your swollen cheek. Otherwise, it won’t recover even after a few days,” she added.Her son agreed with a nod. He had no intention of going against his mother's decision.Xyla drove them back home and immediately iced his bruise before spending some time playing with her children in the nursery.They seemed overly generous to their mother by letting her have first dibs on their favorite toys because she had stood up for them today.The children eventually fell asleep after exhausting themselves, with her stationed nearby to work on her laptop.In the evening, Stanley Batton, who had been swamped with work all day, returned home and walked directly into the nursery.He noticed Leon’s swollen cheek as soon as he walked in, even with his son sound asleep in

    Dream Kindergarten was only second to Phaeton Kindergarten as an option for royal families.It was good in every aspect.Xyla Quest nodded at his suggestion, so with Stanley Batton, they happily decided on it.That night, Sharon Lindt and Wilson Batton came over for dinner that Stanley cooked.The family had a good dinner together.After the meal, they all settled down in front of the television to watch the live broadcast of this year’s White Jade Awards Ceremony.It was a widely popular program as one of the four most prestigious awards ceremonies.In previous years, the ceremony always took place in a foreign country.This year, it was held within the country with Dragon Group as the current organizer of the awards ceremony.The Battons were supposed to be present, but they chose to watch the live broadcast at home so they could accompany their children.This time, Josh Batton and Lukas Ronaldo were both nominated in the Best Actor category based on the movie with two male

    After staring at the link for a few seconds, Xyla Quest clicked on it to find posts published by random netizens and marketing accounts about Josh Batton and Lukas Ronaldo as a couple.There were video attachments that showed them together with captions—“The halls are filled, and people express their deepest love.”“But I only look into his eyes, and I don’t care about what everyone is shouting.”The words quoted seemed familiar to her. They were lyrics to a song she knew.Those lyrics, coupled with lingering stares shared between the actors amidst a crowd of thousands, really did make them look like a couple.Oddly enough, she could see why these people shipped them as a couple. Fans would often fantasize about celebrities dating other celebrities they approved of. However, she couldn’t understand why these people would think so when Josh was already married.As she perused down further, she could see a newly formed community forum dedicated to the guys as a couple.The for

    Everyone in the audience started clapping at that moment.Josh Batton also jumped to his feet to hug Lukas Ronaldo. “I’m very happy for you, man!”He was glad his friend won the award, knowing how hard he had worked over the years.Meanwhile, other celebrities around them also began applauding excitedly for Lukas despite feeling envious in private.In front of the cameras, they had to act supportive of their fellow peer's success.Lukas’ mind went blank when the presenters announced his name. He had won multiple awards over the years, but none were as significant as this one.It was a very emotional experience for him at that moment. Scenes from his memory of his initial debut until his first acting job in a film began replaying in his mind.His debut went smoothly because he had Xyla Quest as his boss.However, his acting journey was tumultuous, to say the least.He remembered being mocked by various people when he first announced his dream of entering the film industry.

    “I’d also like to take this opportunity to state my position on a particular matter. "I have been approached by many companies, attempting to recruit me and even willing to pay a great deal of money to terminate my contract with X Entertainment. "I’m grateful for how much they value me, but let me state this clearly so that nobody will waste their efforts on me any longer.“I will never leave X Entertainment, and I’ll always stay in X Entertainment.“I, Lukas Ronaldo, will always remain with Xyla Quest,” Lukas Ronaldo declared with utmost sincerity.He didn’t intend to address this openly, but too many people have approached him as of late, and it was starting to affect his quality of life.Hence, he needed to say these things today to put an end to it.Apart from that, there was an even more important reason. He wanted to reassure Xyla.He knew that whatever conditions those companies offered would spread like wildfire within the industry.She would eventually learn of the

    “Lukas is so handsome. Oh my god! Not only is he fair, but his facial features are also perfect. How is this possible?“I would like to meet his parents and find out how they can raise such a flawless child.“Lukas is such an exceptional young man to win White Jade’s Best Actor award at his age.” Sharon Lindt only had eyes for Lukas Ronaldo, ignoring the fact that her son, Josh Batton, was standing right next to her latest celebrity crush.Xyla Quest was still thinking about Lukas’ acceptance speech. She didn’t expect him to make that kind of announcement during such an occasion.She realized that he only did that to give her an assurance of his loyalty to the company, but she wasn't even insecure for a start.She had somehow always known that he wouldn’t leave.Meanwhile, Sharon continued to speak. “Lukas, Mommy loves you and wants to spend lots of money on you.”Her thoughts were interrupted by Sharon's statement, making her laugh out loud. “Josh was amazing as he won the aw

    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

    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.
