With a face like that, it would be difficult for her to live a decent life, not to mention revenge. Ron Batton was Xyla Quest’s life savior. However, she broke the promise between them. Her heart sank whenever she reminded herself of her irresponsibility and incapability. She found herself standing as rigid as a pole at the gate, her legs frozen to the ground. It took some time for her to recover from her dejection before she dragged her suitcase and strode into the courtyard. The first thing that she saw as soon as she stepped into the villa was a traditional Chinese style courtyard decorated with different species of flowers and shrubs. It looked the same as it was before she left. Spring was definitely the most beautiful time of the year. The cherry blossoms in the courtyard were fully bloomed and the petals were dancing in the air as the cooling wind blew across the house, carrying a tinge of floral fragrance with it.Stepping across the ground covered with fallen leaves

Ron Batton always kept a low profile as he preferred a peaceful and quiet life. He would never invite anyone to come over even on his birthday. When Xyla Quest was staying with him, the two of them would spend his birthday together every year. “Yeah. My son was here initially but he went back this morning after celebrating my birthday yesterday night.” Ron said.His son, who was her father-in-law… As a matter of fact, she had never seen this man before in her life. “Xyla? What are you thinking about?” Ron’s eyes fixed on her face, attentive and brimming with curiosity. Xyla gathered her thoughts immediately. “It’s nothing…”“Hold on. I’ll boil the herbal medicine for you first before we have lunch. Let’s have a little chat after lunch, okay?” Ron got up from the sofa right away, joy streaked through him like a comet. Rising to her feet, Xyla pulled his wrist and argued, “Please don’t make a fuss about it, Grandpa. I’m alright. Let’s just dig in.” However, Ron pushed her

“What’s the deal? Huh? Tell Grandpa…” Flustered, Ron Batton tried to pry the details out of her.Xyla Quest shook her head. “It doesn’t matter.”She did not want to give him any trouble since today was his birthday. It would be more appropriate for her to tell him the truth tomorrow. However, Ron insisted on pursuing the matter. “That’s not true, there must be something wrong with you. I know you very well. Are you afraid of giving me trouble because it’s my birthday today? Come on, tell Grandpa! You’re the one giving me a hard time if you refuse to tell me your problems.”Xyla, yet, shook her head once more while trying to maintain her calm facade. “You’re imagining things. I’m just excited to see you because we haven’t met for a very long time.”“Lies… Be honest with me!” Ron demanded as his face went dark again. “Did your sister bully you again? Or it is someone else?”“No one bullied me, Grandpa. You’re overthinking.”“Why are you so down then? You must’ve something on yo

“Besides, I didn’t just cheat emotionally. In fact, I had sex with that man once a few months ago, but it wasn’t intentional.“At the time, I didn’t think about getting a divorce with my husband. That’s why I didn’t tell you the truth,” Xyla Quest said seriously.Ron Batton’s smile widened as he gently patted Xyla’s shoulder. “Xyla, look at me.”However, Xyla didn’t dare to look up at him. Right now, his gaze was like a weapon that could pierce right through her.He could see through the feelings of guilt in the depths of her heart.After mentally preparing herself, Xyla slowly lifted her head and looked into Ron’s eyes.The look in his eyes was the same as usual. In fact, they seemed even gentler.This was something Xyla hadn’t expected at all.At first, she thought she would be met with an angry reaction.“Grandpa, there’s still a lot of stuff I haven’t told you, but I will eventually, bit by bit. I’m really sorry for what I’ve done,” Xyla stammered worriedly.“That’s enoug

After sitting down, Xyla Quest took the initiative to place food on Ron Batton’s plate.Ron ate a mouthful of rice before he spoke. “I’ll arrange for you two to meet in one week. Once the time has been decided, I’ll reach out to you.”“Okay,” Xyla said as she gently bit on her chopsticks with an apologetic look on her face.“Xyla, stay with me for a week if you can. I’ll nurse you back to health,” Ron said.Xyla shook her head. “I can’t, Grandpa. There’s still a lot of work left back in the country.”Ron chuckled. “Very well. I shan’t force you then. Later, I’ll prepare some herbs for you to bring home. You can consume them on your own once you get back.”“Thank you, Grandpa.”***Back in the room, Stanley Batton sent a message to Xyla.“I think I’ll only be able to return to the country tomorrow afternoon due to a sudden delay,” Stanley wrote.“Okay. I’ll look after myself,” Xyla replied.“Alright.”Stanley stopped sending her any texts after that.Xyla did the same and c

When their eyes met, Xyla Quest felt as if her heart was on fire.Her ears couldn’t help but turn red.“Are you hungry?” Stanley Batton asked.“No, but I’m feeling thirsty…” Xyla shook her head.“What would you like to drink?”“Lemonade.”Without saying anything in response, Stanley stood up, walked into the kitchen, and started getting to work in front of the kitchen table.While Xyla watched him work from behind, she felt a warm sensation in her heart.Suddenly, Xyla thought of his sister. She got up and walked to the door of the kitchen and leaned against it as she watched him slicing a lemon intently. “How’s Catherine doing?”Stanley glanced up at Xyla. He carefully dropped two slices of lemon into an expensive-looking acrylic crystal glass. “Yeah. She’s already been discharged from the hospital and is now resting at home.”“Where does she live?” Xyla asked.“In my house,” Stanley answered.“Why don’t we let her stay with us? We can look after each other,” Xyla said.“

“Okay. I’ll make those for you in a bit,” Stanley Batton said.“Oh, right. I also want a bowl of cream of mushroom soup. Do you know how to make it?” Xyla Quest asked.“I don’t, but I can learn,” he said.“Oh, okay,” Xyla said.The high-level executives on Stanley’s computer screen were all dumbfounded.This woman had ordered their CEO to cook for her. She even said it matter-of-factly. It appeared as if their CEO cooked for her frequently.Could the cold and distant Stanley Batton have a soft side like this?Everyone looked at each other, as countless questions appeared in their minds. In the end, they all muted their microphones and began whispering among themselves.“Did I hear that wrongly? Does our CEO cook in his private life? It’s impossible to imagine our demon king wearing an apron and making soup.”“No way… Who is this woman? Our CEO has broken the rules for her more than once. Oh my god. Isn’t she amazing?”“I have no idea, and I dare not ask. My entire family is s

Stanley Batton slowly looked up at Wilson Batton with a curious gaze.“Didn’t Xyla just go through a surgery? You should spend more time looking after her. Don’t go to the office if you don’t have to and make her more herbal soup so that she can recover sooner.“Didn’t your mother send some supplements over to Xyla? Make use of them according to the given recipes, do you understand?” Wilson said seriously.“Okay,” Stanley said calmly.“Our loving father is also a loving husband,” Catherine Batton said with a smile.Wilson ruffled Catherine’s hair gently. “Men should indeed look after their wives. Only men who are good to their wives will succeed in life.”Catherine chuckled. “Hehe… I hope I can meet someone like my father in the future.”“You will,” Josh said.“If the man you end up meeting doesn’t treat you right, I’ll hire someone to kill him,” Wilson said.“I don’t care who he is, but if he dares hurt my sister, he will have to pay for it,” Stanley added.“That’s for sure,

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.
