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

Feeling thoroughly embarrassed, Cecelia Conner was at a loss for words. “It really was an accident…” She had no choice but to act dumb.But even if she explained herself, nobody in the house would believe her.“Look at this child of yours… Her hands are all over the place. How could you touch your cousin-in-law with your leg? Aren’t you far too careless?” Emily Quest’s aunt stood up and berated her daughter to diffuse the tension in the air.Stanley Batton ignored them and grabbed a piece of pork before placing it in Xyla Quest’s bowl.Jeremy Quest looked coldly at Cecelia. “You’re having dinner at my house. You need to respect my rules. Keep your hands to yourself.”When Jeremy said these words, Cecelia felt even more embarrassed.It felt as if Stanley and Jeremy had slapped her in front of everyone.Her cheeks felt unbearably hot.“Okay… I understand, Uncle.” Cecelia nodded.Emily’s aunt rolled her eyes at Cecelia before giving her a look, indicating that she should start ea

When Stanley Batton saw that it was a call from Henry Armstrong, he immediately hung up.But Henry would not give up. He called Stanley yet again.Only then did Stanley get up and walk over to the french window to pick up the call.Outside, people were playing with fireworks. The sky became filled with colorful bursts of flames.Xyla Quest could not resist walking closer and watching the fireworks outside, standing approximately two meters away from him.“What’s going on? Why did you hang up on me? Same old rule. We’ll stay up all night playing mahjong. See you at the same place,” Henry said.“I’m not going,” Stanley said without hesitation before looking at Xyla, who was next to him.The exploding fireworks seemed like flowers blooming in her eyes. Xyla seemed in awe, almost like a child.“No… But why? This is how we have been spending this day every year since we were eighteen. Why can’t you come this year?” Henry clearly sounded upset.“That’s because there’s someone with m

“That’s all he can do,” Stanley Batton said.“Not true. I’ve heard many people cover this song, but none of them has done a better job than Josh Batton. A voice like his and a face like that, what a joyful experience,” Xyla Quest said admiringly.She believed that Josh Batton would claim the first spot on the list of trending topics on the internet tonight.Josh was able to deliver such a stunning performance with ease.B Site, TikTok, and Kuaishou would surely be flooded with Josh’s rendition of ‘Loyalty to the Country’.Stanley raised his brows slightly as he looked at the television.“That’s all he can do,” he said with a gradually sunken facial expression.At that moment, the host was inviting Josh over to interview him.Xyla looked at the screen excitedly in anticipation of the interview, but Stanley silently switched the television off.Xyla frowned unhappily as soon as the screen went dark. “Five Batton, what are you doing? I’m still watching it.”“It’s time for bed. D

“No, your father is well now and will be back home in a little while,” Sharon Lindt said.“You really are having a good time… Always leaving my dad behind at Grandpa's, free as a bird,” Josh Batton said.“Nothing will happen to him. Your grandfather is such a good doctor. Besides, it's not like I'm intentionally staying away from him. I have my problems to deal with here, don’t I? Can’t you see I'm trying to keep an eye on your big brother and Xyla Quest?” Sharon asked.The smile on Josh’s face disappeared at the mention of Xyla’s name, and the light in his eyes faded.The disappointed look on his face was so fleeting that no one noticed.“I told you. You don’t have to worry about my life,” Stanley Batton said.“Should I not worry just because you tell me not to? I am worried about you anyway. What can you do about it?” Sharon said.Stanley pinched his nose bridge in frustration and didn't say anything.After talking to Stanley, Sharon focused on Josh. “And you, Josh, when are

May Conner was leaning against Jeremy Quest, and she could hear exactly what was said over the phone.Her pupils instantly shrank, and tears rolled down her cheeks. She quickly grabbed Jeremy’s phone and put it on loudspeaker.“What did you just say? What do you mean, she’s about to die? What have you done to my daughter?” May grew more and more agitated as she spoke, and her whole body was trembling toward the end of her sentence. The veins around her neck were apparent, and her face was flushed red.She practically hissed when she ended her sentence.Jeremy’s eyes were filled with panic as he listened carefully.The Sullivan family was stunned. None of them had expected to hear such news.Xyla Quest was equally filled with shock, and her eyes were wide with disbelief.“Here’s what happened. Since a few days ago, she has been out of sorts, and the psychiatrist diagnosed her with severe depression. She's been in psychotherapy for the past two days, and there was always someone w

The Sullivan family, though, was calm because Emily Quest’s death had nothing to do with them.None of them actually felt sad for her, but each had a gloomy expression on their face because it felt like the appropriate thing to do.Xyla Quest sat silently in the corner the entire time, with no notable expression on her face.Although she was shocked by what happened to Emily, she was in no way heartbroken.The affection she had for her stepsister had long since faded.All that remained in her heart was hatred, and even though this person was on the verge of death, she still couldn’t let go of her grudges.However, despite the dangerous situation Emily was in, Xyla felt certain that Emily would survive because evil people tended to live longer to bring chaos to this world.“Jeremy, do you think Emily is going to be okay? If something happens to her, how am I supposed to live? I don't care, if Emily dies, I'll go with her,” May said as tears streamed down her face. Jeremy Quest

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.
