“Yeah,” Stanley Batton replied calmly.“You should let her in. We have to ask her about a few things,” Xyla Quest said.“She won’t be leaving. Let’s have our breakfast in peace first,” Stanley said as he placed a sandwich in front of Xyla.“Okay,” she said.***After breakfast, Xyla and Stanley went out together.Right then, Bailey was still waiting in front of the main entrance.When Bailey saw Xyla’s car approaching, she immediately ran in front of the car and extended her arms frantically to block Xyla from leaving.In the next second, Xyla’s red Maserati and Stanley’s black Bentley Arnage came to a halt simultaneously.Xyla frowned slightly before lowering the window on her side and glared at Bailey coldly.Bailey quickly walked over to Xyla’s side and tried to open the door to her car but to no avail.“Aunt Bailey, what made you suddenly think of investigating my husband? Did someone tell you something about him? Or did they give you some unreliable information?” Xyla a

The car window moved up quickly. In the end, Bailey Ronson had no other choice but to let go of the window.As soon as her hands were removed from the car window, Xyla Quest pressed the pedal to the metal, getting away from her as far as possible.On the other side, Stanley Batton was silently watching the two of them in his Bentley Arnage.Bailey walked up to the Bentley Arnage without hesitation, trying to change her target to Stanley.However, Stanley directly drove past Bailey, not even bothering to look at her.Staring at the receding cars ahead, the initial sincerity and gentleness on Bailey’s face disappeared instantly and were replaced by coldness and hatred.She stomped her foot and gritted her teeth, her hands gradually balling into fists. “Xyla, you little b*tch… I’ll definitely teach you a lesson after settling my trouble! Don’t think that I’m afraid of you.”If it was not for Xyla and Stanley having the goods on the Sullivan family, would she have to come all the wa

“Your brother told me that your dad won’t be able to go on that day. I guess he’s busy?” explained Xyla Quest.“I don’t think so. Please do me a favor. I’m sure Dad will agree to go if you ask him to.” “I’ll try. Why don’t you ask him yourself?” Xyla asked curiously.“He won’t give a damn about me. When I first joined the entertainment industry, Dad clearly didn’t support my decision. He had even kicked me out of the house. However, he knew that I wasn’t going to back down as well. It was only after my mom’s unceasing effort that we reconciled, and I returned to our home again.“Though he allowed me to go back that night, I’m aware that my dad isn’t really supportive of my career throughout these years. He always hopes that I can be part of Dragon Group. Even if I don’t help out at Dragon Group, he hopes that I can establish my own company or something.“He always thinks that being a celebrity isn’t a ‘proper’ job, that all I do every day is messing around. In his opinion, my han

When the two of them stepped into the house, May Conner and Jeremy Quest were sitting on the sofa and enjoying their Chinese tea.The same gentle smile appeared on both their faces as soon as they noticed the lovebirds’ presence in the living room.However, Xyla Quest could always feel a chill of eeriness in the air no matter how gentle May tried to smile.Xyla returned the elders with a polite smile as she walked up to them, her hands tightly holding to the stunning man beside her.Stanley Batton placed the two boxes of cordyceps in front of Jeremy. “Dad, this is for you.”“Thank you, Stan… There are still plenty of tonics and supplements at home, so please don’t waste any more money on them.” Jeremy picked up one of the boxes and studied it carefully.Though Jeremy did not show it, he was delighted to receive a gift from his daughter and son-in-law, just like any other parents out there.Looking at their touched and happy faces, May felt very much like an outsider.Her mood w

Stanley Batton, who was sitting next to them, was touched by their conservation too.“Dad, you’re the best.” Xyla Quest hugged Jeremy Quest’s arm tightly, tears welling up in her eyes.“Silly kid, why are you crying?”“I’m touched.”“Look at you crying like a baby. How old are you, huh?”“No matter how old I am, I’m forever a little kid to you. This is what you’ve been telling me all the time. Therefore, I can always cry in front of you.” As Xyla spoke, she wiped the tears streaming down her cheeks inadvertently.Shaking his head helplessly, Jeremy turned to look at Stanley. “Look, Stan, my daughter hasn’t grown up yet. She’s still acting like a child.”Tenderness was written all over Stanley’s face as he stroked Xyla’s hair. “As long as we’re by her side, she can always be a child for the rest of her life.”Jeremy nodded in agreement.“By the way, if your aunt ever bothers you or begs you to forgive the Sullivans, you mustn’t be soft-hearted, okay?” Jeremy lowered his voice a

At this point, Xyla Quest could quickly figure out the real intention behind Emily Quest’s apology. All Emily hoped was that Xyla could let the Sullivan family off the hook this time upon their reconciliation.In addition, it was still a mystery whether Emily was involved in last night’s incident or not.Xyla did not answer her. She continued to stare at Emily silently, her eyes calm and emotionless.“Sister, you’re my sister, after all. We’re related by blood. Can you please forgive the Sullivan family for the sake of our relationship? You know that my life depends on them as well. If they’re good, I’m good. Conversely, if their company is going downhill, I won’t get any better too.” Emily choked with sobs. “Besides, my mother-in-law has already admitted that she was at fault.”“I don’t care about the Sullivan family’s condition. As long as your father is here, you’ll be fine.” Jeremy Quest interrupted her briskly and continued, “I’ve been lenient with you in many things because o

Bailey Ronson panted angrily while smashing her fists against the car seat several times. She gritted her teeth. “Emily, as I promised you earlier, I’ll let you hold the position of Tom Sullivan’s wife as long as you can help the Sullivan family survive through this crisis. With my support, your position will never be under threat.”Emily Quest nodded obediently. “Don’t worry. I can do this. Just drop me off at any hotel. We’ll go with the original plan.”“Good.” Bailey nodded.“You understand, right? We can’t mess up this time. As long as you succeed, not only will your status in the Sullivan family be raised, but Tom will also change his impression of you,” Bailey continued to tempt her.“I know.” Emily nodded once more.After Emily and Bailey left the Quest family’s house, the living room returned to its original, peaceful state.Noticing the gloomy expression etched on Jeremy Quest’s face, May Conner did not dare to make a sound anymore. She got up from the couch and went bac

“I think she should look at least as pretty as Xyla Quest, right?”“Don’t beat around the bush, you all. Just say that you’re jealous of Xyla Quest because she can be friends with Josh Batton.”Xyla Quest did not notice it, but her soft lips had stretched to a smile again as she scrolled through the comment section.After briefly reading a couple more comments, she exited the app and glanced at Stanley Batton. “Speaking of which, let’s go to your parents’ house tonight. I want to talk to Dad.”Stanley’s eyes were brimmed with curiosity. “Why? What’s the matter?”“Here’s the thing. Your brother came to me this morning, hoping that I could do him a favor. He asked me to persuade Dad to go to his concert… He wants to prove to Dad that his job isn't just about looking handsome… He wants him to notice his hard work,” explained Xyla.“Okay, then. We’ll have dinner at my place tonight,” Stanley said.“Alright, sure.”Stanley decided to pull up by the roadside when he passed by a bubbl

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.
