Three days later… Xyla Quest was finally allowed to leave the hospital. She had undergone several intensive and strict medical examinations to confirm that she was healthy. It was very early in the morning and Rebecca Robin had sent Noah Smith to help Xyla with the hospital discharge process. Georgie Clementine, on the other hand, had brought along some additional hands to help move Xyla’s belongings into the car. By the time the discharge procedures were done, all of Xyla’s belongings had already been safely moved into the car. Noah carefully pushed Xyla—who was sitting in a wheelchair—out of the hospital’s main door and helped her get into the car. While all this was happening, Catherine Batton was observing the scene play out through a live video feed. The camera she was watching through displayed the front of Xyla’s patient room in the hospital. Squinting her eyes, she watched as Noah slowly pushed a wheelchaired Xyla out of the room. Catherine frowned when she saw No

Before Xyla could say no, Noah was already trying to find the kitchen. “I’m fine Noah, there’s no need to worry about me. You can attend to your personal matters now.” “Well alright… I’ll be taking my leave first then,” said Noah, smiling as he stood up. While this was happening, a black Honda pulled up to the front of the house. In the car, Stanley Batton gave a cold stare toward Georgie Clementine who was busy directing the workers as they carried Xyla's belongings into the house. He then elegantly stepped out of his car. Slipping on some house slippers, he quickly headed to the living room. Once he saw Noah, his eyes darkened. Seeing Stanley, he bowed respectfully. He knew that Stanley and Xyla were on bad terms so he kept his mouth shut. Stanley ignored Noah entirely and walked over to Xyla. “You’ve already been discharged from the hospital. Why was I not notified about this?” He had immediately rushed to the hospital after his meeting earlier. He wanted to be th

Twelve noon, sharp. Noah Smith arrived at Hilton hotel’s rooftop on time. Catherine Batton was already there. She was wearing a furry, pink, knitted cardigan from Chanel. Her outfit was complemented with a white shirt, a short blue skirt, and a pair of white shoes. Her blonde hair was naturally straight and her bangs reached her eyebrows. Catherine’s red beanie only made her look cuter than she already was. She stood before the rooftop fence, her back facing him. Noah jogged towards her before placing a hand on the rails. The people at the bottom looked like ants from here. “I’m here. What did you wish to talk about and why here?” Catherine frowned as she turned to look at Noah. Her arms were crossed as she angrily growled, “Why are you asking the obvious?” Noah was puzzled, a frown on his face. He had no clue what was going on. “What do you mean?” He didn’t do anything right? What on earth was she on about? “Still playing dumb, Noah? Well since you don’t get it I’ll

It took him forever to get his point across to Catherine. The more he explained, the larger his headache grew. The girl had a seriously confusing thought process. Noah was more baffled than anything at this point. After hearing all he had to say, Catherine pondered. His explanations were reasonable and they made sense. Did… Did she really just misunderstand the whole situation? Staring into his eyes, she had a feeling that he wasn’t lying. …Was it all just a misunderstanding after all? …Oh… Rubbing her forehead, she would silently ask, “So… It was all just a misunderstanding?” “Pretty much,” shrugged Noah who was just glad that his point had finally gotten across. “…Then swear to me.” The man sighed as he raised three fingers and straightened his back. “I, Noah Smith, swear that I’ve never had any inappropriate relationships nor have I had any thoughts about them. If I do any of those acts, may lightning strike me dead…” “…Fine, I’ll believe you…” Catherine sigh

Stanley’s frown remained. “It’s that simple?” “Apparently.” “And you’re telling me that Zack Cassidy was not involved in this at all?” “Zack knows about this?” Catherine asked as she tried to fake a surprised voice. “Forget about it. Don’t involve yourself in my relationship in future.” “Alright, Fifth brother.” After hearing Catherine’s response, he hung up the phone. His eyes reflected an onslaught of complicated feelings on his mind. He stopped his car before a red traffic light. He stared at the traffic light as his finger tapped on the steering wheel. Noah was innocent all along? If it wasn’t Noah, then what could she have meant with ‘misunderstandings’? From Catherine’s investigation, it sounded as if Noah was being truthful about it. Xyla truly had no feelings for Noah? Was it really true as he explained it? What on earth could she have meant by ‘cause misunderstandings’? Bzz… bzz... His thoughts were momentarily cut off by the sound of his phone ringi

“While it’s possible to nurture feelings, you will still suffer in the long run.” “If it’s to live a luxurious life, enduring a little suffering is nothing. Mom, it’s the Sullivan family we’re talking about. It’s impossible for me to let go of that position that easily.” Emily Quest persisted on. “Even if you don’t support me, I’ll still hold on to my view!” Emily said sternly. “Pain and suffering are always required in order to gain something.” “If you’re that persistent how could I not support you?” Mary Conner sighed, giving in. Footsteps from outside the room could be heard at that moment. The door opened and Jeremy Quest entered the room. Seeing him, Emily put on a depressed facade and forced tears out of her eyes till they became red. Jeremy looked at Emily dearly before letting out a long sigh, “I’ve talked to the Sullivan family. They’ve agreed to stop talking about the divorce, at least for now…” Emily’s eyes lit up immediately. “Really, dad?” Jeremy nodded.

“President Xyla told me to stay and take care of her until she fully recovers.” Georgie Clementine smiled. “Sure.” Stanley turned around and headed upstairs. He did not say another word. “I’ve prepared dinner. Come eat in a bit.” Georgie said while she looked at his back. He did not reply and continued walking. As he walked past the master bedroom, he stared at the closed door for a moment before returning to his own room. Georgie had made six dishes. There was a dish of stir-fried baby vegetables, braised sea cucumbers, some cordyceps soup, boneless chicken feet, pork ribs, and stir-fried cabbages. Just as the three of them were about to sit together at the dining table, Stanley Batton’s phone rang. The person calling was Catherine Batton. He placed a small helping of stir-fried baby vegetables—which was Xyla’s favorite—in Xyla’s bowl before getting up and standing at a corner near a window. Looking out the porch, he answered the call. “What is it?” “Fifth brother,

While this was happening, Sharon Lindt was sitting on the sofa, sipping on some milk which she had poured into a European coffee cup. The mouth of the cup had a golden ring, and it shone beautifully under the light. As soon as Catherine Batton walked in, Sharon’s face turned serious. “Catherine Batton, come here right this instant!” Catherine immediately picked up her pace. Her face was almost pale from fear. As she stood in front of Sharon, she lifted both hands in a ‘surrender’ pose and widened her eyes. In a quivering voice, she said, “Mom, I know that I should be studying properly. I shouldn’t have secretly come back to play. I’ve done wrong so please forgive me…” Looking at the sight before her, Sharon felt like laughing but she managed to maintain her strict facade. “And?” “So… Please don’t be angry alright? I promise that I’ll go back to studying after two days. I won’t come back unless it’s during the holidays. I swear that I won’t ditch my studies to come back home u

“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.

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.

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

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.

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.
