Sharon Lindt immediately frowned. “I don’t take things back once I’ve given them away,” she said unhappily.“Aunty, I really can’t accept them,” Xyla Quest said helplessly.“Consider them a new year gift from me,” Sharon added.Xenia was speechless.This new year gift was far too expensive.At that moment, the sales assistants were very excited.Joyfully, they carried the clothes over to the cashier and began processing the payment.People who just entered the store were all stunned by the huge commotion.Xyla tried to shake Sharon off to stop those sales assistants again, but Sharon would not let her go.Helpless, Xyla decided to give up.Realizing that Sharon would not cave in and was determined to buy her those clothes, Xyla thought it would be impolite if she continued to refuse the offer.For now, Xyla would have to accept the clothes. Next time, she would return the kind gesture by purchasing a gift of the same value. The exchange of gifts meant they could still be goo

Sharon Lindt immediately waved at the sales assistant nearby. “Pack all the spring outfits up in your store. Apart from this windbreaker, I want everything else.”As soon as Faye White walked into the store, she overheard Sharon’s order.Faye subconsciously stopped walking and looked at Sharon’s face as she tried to guess who Sharon was.Her jealousy toward Xyla Quest intensified.Realizing that Xyla would get all the good designs again, Faye silently walked out of the store and proceeded to shop in other stores.Once again, Xyla was shocked by Sharon’s gesture. By now, she was feeling a little overwhelmed.This was the first time someone treated Xyla like that after only having met her a few times.“No, my aunty is only kidding,” Xyla said while she smiled awkwardly at the sales assistants.“Listen to me. Hurry up…” Sharon ordered.Since the others were afraid of disobeying Sharon, they immediately proceeded to pack the clothes up.“Aunty, can you please don’t stop doing thi

“Cancel the contract with Faye White.” Xyla Quest dived right into business.“Why? She is a great actress and has a lot of potential. Canceling the contract with her directly would be a shame. I’ve always believed that she could become the most popular celebrity among the generation of youths born after 1995.” Georgie sounded surprised. “How could someone as arrogant as her possibly achieve that?” Xyla asked.“What’s the matter? Did she do something bad to you?” Georgie asked.“She was arrogant when she spoke to me. It happened in a shopping mall. With a personality like hers, it won’t matter if she became popular. She’s already this full of herself before she had even become famous. I can only imagine how much worse it could get once she does become famous. What if someone digs up negative things about her? I don’t care if she ends up ruining her career, but what would happen to the money we have invested in her?” Xyla said.Xyla could actually choose to bury Faye’s talent.But

Xyla Quest sat at the coffee table and unpacked the takeaway food. However, she was in no mood to eat.She suddenly felt a little lonely in this large house.Since when did she start feeling this way?Xyla had lost her appetite and did not even feel like cooking when she was alone.In the past, Xyla was always able to cook on her own. There were lots of ingredients at home. While she bought some in preparation for the new year, her father sent the rest to her.Was it because Xyla and Stanley Batton had always been eating together recently? Was that why it had become a habit to her?Xyla was unable to figure it out, and she could not be bothered to. She picked up her chopsticks and began to eat the food she bought.After Xyla finished eating, Chanel and LV employees sent the clothes Sharon Lindt had bought for Xyla to her house. These items took up space on the coffee table, the couch, and the area around the coffee table.When Xyla looked at these items, she felt a little ann

At that moment, somebody opened the door.Subconsciously, Xyla Quest clenched her fists tight as goosebumps appeared all over her body.She began to throw punches in the direction of where the sound came from.Before her fist came into contact with anything, a large, warm hand grabbed hers.After that, Xyla was pressed against the wall. She could smell the fragrance of mint-scented soap.In the pitch-black room, Xyla could not see anything. Meanwhile, she felt the person’s body pressing against hers affectionately.Xyla began to relax when the scent of mint and cigarette wafted through her nostrils.“What were you trying to do? Huh?” A deep yet sensual voice could be heard.Xyla could feel his warm breath above her head. Her heart began to race as she felt something like an electric current travelling through her body.Subconsciously, she took a deep breath and pushed against his chest. “I thought you were a bad guy.”Xyla could feel a dampness over her fingers.It appeared

After that, Stanley Batton found a black switch. Once he flicked it upward gently, the lights came on.Xyla Quest subconsciously squinted when the strong rays of light suddenly appeared.“It’s done…” Stanley slowly turned off the torchlight on his phone and looked at her.Under the bright light, Stanley’s naked upper body became fully visible.Xyla immediately pushed his hand away and looked down while she walked over to the couch.“Get changed, and we’ll head over to my father’s house for dinner…” Xyla said.Stanley did not say anything. Instead, he silently walked up the stairs.***When Xyla and Stanley walked onto the street outside, they could see a sea of red lanterns hung all around them.Slowly, Stanley drove them into the Quest family’s villa compound.The courtyard was also brightly lit with red lanterns.Many cars were parked in front of the main building.As the doors were open, people in the courtyard could clearly hear people talking and laughing inside.On C

Stanley Quest felt extremely annoyed by the questions. Slowly, he stood up. “I’m going for a smoke outside. Enjoy your chat,” he said before nodding politely at the group of people and walking out the door.After leaning against a lamppost, he slowly lit a cigarette and took a puff at it.The warm light above his head seemed to create a layer of luminescence around him.Meanwhile, he could still hear laughter from the brightly lit living room.Now that the wind had stopped, a sky full of stars could be seen.“Cousin-in-law, do you mind sharing a cigarette?” a crisp voice asked.Stanley looked over at the girl, who was the second daughter of Emily’s uncle, whose name he had forgotten.The girl was beaming at him with bright eyes.Stanley did not answer her. Instead, he pulled a cigarette out from its box and tossed it to her. After that, he took a long puff at his cigarette before letting it out as he looked up at the stars.Stanley did not look at her again. In fact, he did no

“Five Batton, I’m impressed with what you just did there,” Xyla Quest said.“Were you?” Stanley Batton took a long puff at his cigarette before turning around and looking up at the starry sky as he blew smoke rings out of his mouth.The smoke rings came out of his mouth and quickly disappeared into the night.“Yes. How were you cruel enough to allow her fall to the ground?” Xyla asked before bursting into laughter.“Because I hated her,” he said.“Were you able to tell that she did it on purpose?” She asked.“Do you take me for a fool?” He asked blandly with the same expression on his face.“Many men aren’t able to tell the difference,” Xyla said.Stanley remained silent as he continued to smoke.“Why are you out here too?” He asked after a while.“To get you to come inside for dinner,” Xyla said.Stanley stubbed the cigarette out before swiftly tossing it into a trash can nearby.After that, he offered his bent arm to Xyla.Xyla immediately caught the hint and wrapped her

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.
