“The sun is already up. Why are you still speaking as if you are in a dream?” Emily rolled her eyes at Xyla.Xyla could not be bothered even to speak. She moved past Emily and walked upstairs.Beep. Beep. Beep.Emily was about to run after Xyla to continue mocking her. However, right then, her phone rang. The browser had sent her a push notification about Josh Batton’s latest news.Her jaws nearly dropped when she read the title. “Josh Batton will be attending Imperial Prime’s launching ceremony tomorrow!”Emily was in a state of complete disbelief.With a contract worth eight million dollars, Josh Batton should only go as far as shooting some photos or a video to promote the launch. He should not have agreed to attend the launching ceremony.What was going on? Why was her idol being so nice to Xyla? Emily was beginning to feel jealous again.On top of that, she began to feel worried. What if Josh Batton did attend the event, and his fans ended up buying all of the units being sold?Ho

“Just you wait and see if I can do it,” Xyla Quest responded calmly. She did not even bother looking at Emily Quest.“Alright. If you can do it, I will broadcast myself doing a handstand.” Emily rolled her eyes at Xyla.“Get back to your room right now. You are not allowed to talk to your elder sister like that,” Jeremy Quest scoffed.Emily immediately went quiet and made her escape.***Due to Josh Batton’s presence, a huge audience turned up at Imperial Prime’s launching ceremony.By four o’clock in the morning, fans had already surrounded the temporarily enacted stage.Since Josh Batton had already reminded his fans to abide by the rules, everyone was cooperative. There was a perfectly empty road carved out, which allowed people to walk through to the property development’s sales gallery.When it was time for the official launch at eight o’clock in the morning, thousands had gathered. Although fans were all packed like sardines, nothing chaotic seemed to have taken place.With Josh

Josh’s fans were going wild. Every single one of them was screaming at the top of their lungs. They had lost their senses—“Ahhh…! Ahhh…!”“Josh Batton! Josh Batton!!!”When Emily Quest saw Josh, her eyes lit up immediately. She could not contain her excitement.It had been a long time since she last went to his live concert. Emily could not help but think that her idol had become even more handsome. His look today was extremely attractive!Emily was like a teenage girl who had just met her crush.Accompanied by the sound of music and screaming from the crowd, Josh began dancing with one of his female dancers while he sang.The upbeat music and his alluring movements made all the off-stage fans scream at the top of their lungs.Everyone was hyped.Meanwhile, off-stage, Xyla felt just as excited as everyone else when she saw Josh performing. She began screaming along with the audience.Simultaneously, ‘#Josh Dances#’ soon became the second most popular topic on the internet. The word ‘e

Although Emily Quest had spent so much money on Josh Batton, she never received this kind of treatment from him. Each time, she could only look at Josh from afar. Now, Xyla was able to do something Emily could only dream about with ease. What right did Xyla have to do that?After the ribbon was cut, Josh proceeded to leave while Xyla walked into the sales gallery behind her with a group of people.When Emily saw this, she hurriedly got out of her car and made her way through the crowd to the sales gallery. Emily was here to watch Xyla get embarrassed and see how downtrodden Xyla would be once she realized the harsh reality.Suddenly, the sales gallery became packed. When Xyla saw that the salespeople were fully occupied, she decided to join them as she began introducing the property’s information to customers.Emily watched with disdain. However, instead of moving closer, she stayed by the door and observed silently.‘So what if there are a lot of people? They are just here to enjoy th

Sharon Lindt smiled satisfactorily before retrieving a tiny compact mirror from her pocket to check her make-up.After making sure that she looked fine, she turned to look at her friends. “How’s my make-up? Does it really look okay with my outfit?” “No problem,” one of the rich wives said.Only then did Sharon stop worrying. She began walking with her friends through the crowd to get to Xyla Quest.“Hello, pretty lady. We would like to buy your property,” Sharon said straightforwardly. She had a wide smile on her face as she tried to conceal her excitement.Xyla immediately turned to look at the group of women. At one glance, she could sense they were an unusual group of people from the upper-class.In particular, the lady she was speaking to was beautiful. From head to toe, the lady had fair and smooth skin. She must have been a great beauty when she was younger.“What sizes of units would you prefer?” Xyla asked politely with a smile on her face.“We all want the biggest ones,” Shar

After the contracts were signed, the ladies proceeded to make their respective payments.The entire process took less than an hour.Once everyone had made their payments, Sharon Lindt got up from the couch and held Xyla Quest’s hand affectionately. “Are you tired, my sweet child?”Xyla was very touched by Sharon’s affectionate attitude. She immediately smiled and answered, “I’m not tired, Aunty. Are you tired?”Not only were these people rich, but they were also extremely nice to her. Xyla liked them a lot.“I’m not tired. When I see you, all my tiredness simply vanishes.” Sharon’s eyes were filled with joy.Xyla smiled shyly. “You’re making me feel embarrassed.”“It’s true. After all, you really do look good.” Sharon held Xyla’s hand tightly, almost as if she was Xyla’s crazy fan.Emily Quest, who overheard the conversation by the door, rolled her eyes with jealousy.“Thank you, Aunty. You look great too. Your skin and body are very well taken care of.” Xyla was slightly surprised by

“I would like to buy this building.”“I want this one.”“Give me this.”“Well, I’ll take this one then.”The four men said eagerly without even taking a moment to consider.Xyla Quest was beginning to doubt whatever she was seeing. What was going on? Why did so many people want to buy buildings one after another this early in the morning?Why did all the wealthy people gather here today? Was it because the promotion was very well done, coupled with the fact that their property development was in a strategic location? Was that why the wealthy folks wanted to invest in them?This was the only possibility Xyla could think of.While Xyla asked these questions in her mind, she guided the men to get their contracts signed.After that, the men paid and left without beating around the bush.Emily Quest, who observed this happening before her eyes, was so angry that she could not find the words.Within a short time, Emily witnessed Xyla successfully selling nineteen buildings. Xyla had taken a

When May Conner saw what Emily Quest did, she immediately snatched the wine glass away from Emily. May tapped Emily on her arm. “My child, are you mad? Since you are pretending to be pregnant, you should act the part. Why are you drinking? What if your dad or other people see you?”Emily frowned unhappily before she looked around. “It’s late already. Everyone has gone to sleep. Who would see me? Besides, I’m not that unlucky.”“Please be careful!” May said seriously.“I know,” Emily snorted coldly. She appeared fully confident.Outside, a red Maserati came to a halt in the courtyard. Exhausted, Xyla Quest gave her forehead a pinch before she unbuckled her seatbelt.However, instead of getting out of the car immediately, she plopped down into her seat and zoned out.Ever since the preparations for the property launch started, she had been working overtime. She continuously motivated herself to keep working hard. Now that she had accomplished her goal and was completely exhausted, she ap

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.
