“Just wait and see if I can do a good job,” Xyla Quest said calmly.

Although Xyla did not speak loudly, she sounded firm and convincing.

The confident look in Xyla’s eyes thoroughly annoyed May Conner.

“I hope you don’t get overwhelmed by the stressful work. Sometimes, biting more than you can chew can end up being horrible for you,” May sneered.

“Thank you for your concern, Aunty.” Xyla smiled and looked away.

“I will wait for you to make a fool of yourself.” May rolled her eyes at Xyla before turning around and walking away.

Right then, Xyla was in such a good mood that she could not be bothered by May. After turning around, Xyla turned to look at Stanley Batton, who was still standing there stiffly. “Thank you for saving me today.”

Up until now, Xyla was still amazed by Stanley’s brave act of ramming into the sedan with her car.

“You’re welcome.” He looked calmly at Xyla. “What property development is that?”

“Oh. It’s the Imperial Prime in the city center.” Xyla chuckled.

    There were innate qualities of nobility and elegance about the tall man who walked away.Xyla could not help but think that people would perceive him as a high-class man from an ultra-rich family if they did not know his identity.With such good-looking physical appearances and noble qualities, he would outshine most people in the upper-class.After staring at him from behind for a few seconds longer, Xyla began driving home…Once Stanley arrived by the roadside, he gave Zack Cassidy a call. “Zack Cassidy… Buy a car just like the one I drove home last night.“Also, I think the property in Imperial Prime is decent.”“Imperial Prime? Doesn’t that belong to the Quest family? It’s a luxurious little neighborhood. I think it’s pretty good. Would you like to purchase a unit?” Zack Cassidy asked.“An entire building,” Stanley said.“Okay.”“Buy it one week later.”“Yes.”“I’m in front of the Quest family’s house. Send someone to pick me up.” Before Zack could respond, Stanley hung up.Closely

    Tony Sullivan looked sternly at Tom Sullivan. “I don’t care how you feel about this. Since you now have a child on the way, you will continue to be with Emily. Let’s go home and get prepared for the wedding.”When Emily Quest heard what Tony said, a smile immediately appeared on her face. From a precarious situation before, she was now on cloud nine.Subconsciously, Emily rubbed her stomach. She thanked herself for having come up with this idea. Otherwise, Tom would have slipped away.In reality, she had texted the director of the obstetrics and gynecology department director long before they arrived to ask that he create a fake medical report for her. In return, she would sleep with him once more. The guy agreed without even hesitating.Personally, Emily had an addiction to sex. Since Tom could not satisfy her desires, she needed to sleep with different men every day.Therefore, having sex with other men in exchange for her desired benefits was not a big deal.“Oh, yeah, Tom.

    “Oh, I understand now. The investment opportunity was just a decoy. Inviting us out to have a good time was also a decoy. The truth is that you want us to buy property from our sister-in-law, isn’t that so?” Henry had a look of realization on his face.“It will be launched in a week… You will each purchase a single block,” Stanley Batton said firmly to suggest it was non-negotiable.“D*mn! An entire block? You are asking for too much.” Henry groaned.“You are openly stealing from us!” Sebastian complained.Gary Lakes did not say anything. Instead, he touched his forehead helplessly. Apart from Stanley, Gary was the person who spoke the least.“So?” Stanley looked at each of them in turn. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking or feeling at the moment.“I’ll buy it.” Henry nodded helplessly. He felt that he was being forced to make a purchase.“I’ll buy it too. How can we not buy property from our sister-in-law’s family business?” Sebastian rolled his eyes at Stanley. ‘D*mn. My

    “When I offered ten million dollars a year, this person completely ignored me. When I offered fifteen million dollars, he still ignored me. In the end, I stooped so low that I offered thirty million dollars.“I bet the most popular celebrities in the industry don’t even earn this much. Do you know how this person responded in the end?” Henry seemed even more depressed.“How?” Sebastian Brenand seemed very interested.“Three words. Forget about it,” Henry said.“Perhaps that person isn’t interested in becoming a professional player.” Gary Lakes patted Henry on his shoulder.“Thirty million dollars for a year of professional gaming. Who could turn that down?” Henry looked confused.“What if thirty million dollars isn’t even a large amount to this person?” Sebastian asked before emptying his glass of red wine. After that, he passed a cigar to each of them before standing up and lighting it up for Stanley Batton.“Could that person be from a rich family?” Gary added.“God knows. If he isn’

Design a set of clothes for me. I want it to be stylish but not too over-the-top. It should make me look very young.

    Emily Quest approached Xyla Quest almost as if she were a predator, ready to pounce at a moment’s notice. There was an expression of hatred on her face that was covered in make-up.“What do you want?” Xyla raised her brows coldly.“Nothing much. I just wanted to tell you that Brother Sullivan and I are getting married. In fact, we are getting married in two weeks.“I know you’ve always wanted to break us up to exact revenge on me so that I would lose everything.“However, Xyla Quest, I’m letting you know that your plans will never succeed.“I now bear the Sullivan family’s child. I have a stable position. Even if you try anything dirty, you won’t be able to drag me down.“You have always been my defeated foe.

    When Xyla Quest first paid for the news article to be on the list of most popular topics on the internet, she only paid for a single day’s worth of exposure. Logically speaking, the other party did not have to refuse Tom Sullivan’s offer.Now that something like this had happened, someone else was clearly pulling a prank on Emily Quest apart from Xyla.Who was this person? Could it be one of the Sullivan family’s competitors? Regardless of who did it, Xyla found this entire ordeal to be impressive.As soon as May Conner heard what Emily Quest said, she immediately pressed her ear against Emily’s phone.Emily pushed May away, annoyedly, before walking over to the French window.“Can’t you understand the human language? I was just about to call you and ask you about who you messed with.” Tom Sullivan sounded very angry.“Who else could I have messed with? Xyla Quest is the only person… Xyla must be behind this! She was the one who paid for the story to be on the list of most popular topi

    Xyla intended to look for Five Batton so that she could return five hundred thousand dollars to him. However, she then realized that he had never given her his contact details.Since too many bad things were happening in the day, and the fact that Stanley had left in a hurry, she forgot about returning him the money.Although she now recalled it, there was no way she could transfer the money to him. She could only hope to bump into him again in the future.If they did meet again, she would return him five hundred thousand dollars with certainty.***At ten o’clock in the morning, Xyla woke up naturally.After stretching her arms on her comfortably soft bed, she slowly sat up.Her long, black, wavy hair untangled around her to give her a somewhat lazy appearance. Right then, she looked like a lazy yet expensive cat, which was enjoying an afternoon nap in the summer.Beep. Beep. Beep.Xyla’s phone began to ring. When Xyla glanced lazily at her phone next to her bed, she saw that it was f

    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.
