He was such an idiot!The memories between the two of them flashed across his eyes. Everything seemed just like yesterday. Nevertheless, memories were merely memories. They could only stay in his mind. Likewise, Emily Quest was down in the dumps as she noticed the melancholiness in Tom Sullivan’s eyes.Following his gaze, Emily found herself glaring at Xyla Quest, who looked exceptionally radiant over the other side. Rage surged up within Emily as if she would swallow Xyla and suck the life out of her in the very next second.They shared the same father. They shared the same family. Why was Xyla always the one who had a radiant glow around her, while Emily could only be a supporting character? Why was god so unfair?Why couldn’t he let Xyla stay fat and ugly for the rest of her life? Why did he allow Xyla to regain her beauty?If Xyla had not become this pretty, the center of attention at the charity dinner right now would definitely be her, Emily Quest. Nevermind.Xyla wou

Coincidentally, Bailey Ronson walked past the few of them with a glass of wine in her hand in the middle of their conversation. When she heard Jeremy Quest’s words, she approached May Conner from behind without hesitation. She held onto the wine glass, which she was still drinking from, while her other was placed on May’s shoulder as she smiled at Jeremy. “What’s going on? Is Stan going to sing on the stage later? Can Stan sing?”May immediately picked up the conversation and turned to Bailey. “Of course. Xyla has said that our Stan can sing really well.”However, Bailey shook her head in disdain. “I don’t believe it…”May insisted, “Don’t you believe Xyla too? Xyla has said that our Stan sings much better than professional singers.”Bailey japed, “Well, beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. Stan is her husband, no doubt she’ll think that he’s a good singer. Professional singers are trained for years. Ordinary people are no match for professional singers anyway.”“How would you

It was because Xyla knew that Stanley Batton had never messed up anything in his life. Everything he did was flawless. “Xyla, Stan, what are you two talking about? Are you guys discussing your performance?” Bailey Ronson said again.Xyla simply smiled before she turned to meet her eyes. “You’re right. We’re going to sing.”Disbelief and confusion were swimming in Jeremy Quest’s eyes. “Are you serious?”However, Xyla responded to him with a confident nod. “Yes, Daddy. I’ll tell the host that my husband and I are going to sing after Ava Carter’s ‘From Now On’.”Having no other choices, Jeremy nodded.Getting up from her seat, Xyla strode toward the stage and whispered her request to the beautiful host standing aside.The host nodded her head without hesitation.With that out of the way, Xyla grinned at the host before returning to Stanley’s side.Soon, Ava Carter’s performance ended in a big round of applause. The beautiful host walked to the center of the stage with a stunni

In the crowd’s attention, Stanley Batton had Xyla Quest on his arm as they walked onto the stage.Then, the two of them sat side by side in front of the Chinese zither. After Xyla had done adjusting the microphone in front of her, the two of them began to sing and play the zither together, according to what they had discussed earlier.Stanley started the song. “Listen to the lonely disconsolate flute, in the endless night deep in the clouds.”Xyla continued, “Right and wrong are all in the past. They’re merely dreams when I wake up.”Stanley followed, “How can we measure the praises, blames, gains, and losses…”Together, they sang in unison. “Fiery blood is rustling from the cold blade.”Though this was the first time the two of them sang together, they made a perfect combination on the stage.Whether it was the Chinese zither, or the singing, they were all pretty outstanding.The audience was truly amazed by the chemistry between them.Those who were originally skeptical of

Xyla Quest smiled and nodded at the guests before shifting her gaze to Bailey Ronson and May Conner without turning a hair.When Xyla met their eyes, they still had not gotten over the failure of their plan, exposing their sour and sulky faces to her.Satisfaction set in as she managed to catch sight of their sullen expressions.“Xyla, Stan, you guys are incredible! Did the two of you practice this together before?” Jeremy Quest looked at Xyla and Stanley as he asked, his eyes filled with joy. Xyla shook her head in response. “Nope, this is our first time singing and playing Chinese zither together. To be honest, I didn’t expect us to work so well together.”Fondness for the couple was written all over Jeremy’s face. “Both of you are gifted, indeed.”Turning around delightedly, Jeremy looked at Bailey standing behind him and asked, “How was it? Do you still think that Xyla is lying to you?”Bailey laughed awkwardly. “Hey, I never think that Xyla is lying. I suggested Stan to si

“No.” Stanley Batton averted his gaze back to the red wine glass on his hand.He slowly swirled the wine glass a couple of times before taking a sip of the red wine from the glass.Walking up to the old man, Bailey Ronson greeted him with a bright smile on her face. “Welcome, Mr. Henry. Please come in with me. I’ll introduce the organizer of the charity dinner, Mr. Jeremy Quest, to you.”The old man nodded in agreement.Without wasting any time, Bailey led Mr. Henry to Jeremy Quest’s seat.She patted Jeremy’s shoulder lightly and said, “President Quest, let me introduce you to my friend whom I’ve mentioned earlier, Mr. Henry. Mr. Henry has been doing charity for many years.”Henry… Jeremy had read about him in the newspaper before. He was the owner of the largest wine estate in Country Y. Also, he was a very well-known philanthropist.Realizing the man’s impressive background, Jeremy stood up instantly and politely reached out for a handshake. “Hello, Mr. Henry. I’m Jeremy Quest

Why did Xyla Quest say that he was Dr. Batton’s grandson?Bailey Ronson immediately put on a surprised face and looked at Stanley Batton. “What? Are you not Dr. Batton’s grandson? Who are you then? Why do you share the same name as Dr. Batton’s grandson?”Subsequently, she turned to face Xyla. “Xyla, didn’t you say that your husband is the grandson of Dr. Batton? Mr. Henry says that his grandson is very ugly, not at all a face like Stan’s.“Mr. Henry, please take a look at Stan carefully again. Are you sure he’s not Dr. Batton’s grandson?” As Bailey spoke, she pointed at Stanley once more. Nevertheless, Stanley’s eyes were as calm as usual, totally unaffected by her accusation. Without saying a word, he casually placed his hand at the base of the wine glass, sliding the glass back and forth.The red wine in the glass swayed back and forth as the glass moved, its dazzling luster shining brightly under the light.He looked very much like a king standing at the peak of the mountain

Excitement surged within Tom Sullivan as he heard the crowd’s malicious comments.If Xyla Quest’s husband were really an ugly duckling who would bring shame to her, there would be great leaps in his hope to get Xyla back to his side.Instead of introducing her real husband to the public, Xyla had found a handsome guy to keep up appearances and act as a lovely couple with her. What did that mean?It meant that her actual husband was nothing to her.Xyla glared at Bailey Ronson coldly. “No. I said no.”All eyes in the entire hall were upon Xyla.The music had been turned off, though the culprit was unknown.Now, the whole world was able to listen to their conversation.Bailey laughed as soon as she heard Xyla’s answer. “No? If that’s not the case, how are you going to explain the whole incident? Are you trying to say that Mr. Henry is lying?”Staring deep at Stanley Batton’s face once more, Henry shook his head confidently. “Seriously, I’m not lying… I’ve seen that kid before. H

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.
