“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

    “Sorry, my wife won’t like that,” Stanley responded coldly.His blunt statement immediately cut off all the girls’ hopes and the desire stirring in their hearts. Their hearts were shattered.“Are you buying bubble milk tea for your wife?” The girl behind him asked again.“Who else would it be?” His answer was clear.Envy surged within that girl in the very next second…The others feel the same too.“Ahhh… His wife must be so grateful to have him!”“Looks like the good men on earth always belong to someone else… sigh…”The chitter-chatter among the girls behind Stanley did not cease for a second.Finally, it was Stanley’s turn to order.When the employee met his eyes, her cheeks turned pink. “Hi sir, may… may I take your order?”“One strawberry bubble milk tea, a hot one, please.” Without hesitation, the employee went off to prepare his drinks.She had complimented Stanley’s stunning face with extra toppings for his drinks.After his order was done, Stanley grabbed the

    The lovebirds shared the same straw and drank the same cup of bubble milk tea in full view of the crowd. All the employees at the entrance cringed at the intimacy between the two of them.“I thought our President doesn’t like sweet drinks?”“I thought so too. I’ve never seen our President drink bubble milk tea.”“Oh gosh, I’m going to die… They’re too sweet. I feel so jealous of looking at them.”Whisper and exclamation rounded the employees as they walked into the building.With the crowd’s attention, Stanley Batton held Xyla Quest’s hand and led her into his company.“Are you sure you don’t want it anymore?” He peeked at the nearly finished bubble milk tea in his hand and asked Xyla.“Yes,” Xyla said.The two of them held hands all the way to the exclusive elevator used by Stanley.He threw the empty cup into the trash can beside the elevator before entering the elevator with Xyla.After the elevator door clicked shut behind them, Stanley abruptly stretched out his long arm

    Then, Emily Quest took a picture of the cut and sent it to Bailey Ronson.The picture was attached with a brief sentence, which they had discussed in advance. “My life is hopeless and full of despair. Tell Brother Sullivan that I’ll be leaving first.”After that, she closed her eyes.On the other side, Bailey was dialing 911 in the Sullivan family’s living room after she received the message from Emily.Subsequently, she called Jeremy Quest and informed him about the tragic news. “Emily has tried to commit suicide just now! After we left your house this morning, Emily told me that she wanted to go shopping alone, so I dropped her off at a shopping mall nearby. However, she has just sent me a message on WeChat. It was a picture of her slit wrist with a sentence beneath it, saying that she felt hopeless and wanted to leave. She even asked me to tell Tom Sullivan that…”As soon as Jeremy heard about his daughter’s attempt at suicide, he sprang up from the sofa in fluster, his face as

    Stanley Batton quickly answered the call.“Are you two coming home for a meal? In that case, can you ask Xyla what she wants to eat? I’ll start preparing right away…” Sharon Lindt sounded awfully excited and joyful.“Okay. I’ll ask her,” Stanley said.“Also, ask Xyla what she wants to drink. Does she want red wine or something else? If she wants red wine, ask her what brand she likes. I’ll have to get it aired out in advance,” Sharon added.“Why didn’t you ask me what I wanted to drink?” Stanley asked jokingly.“How does that have anything to do with me? Xyla is our most precious sweetheart now…” Sharon said.At that moment, Stanley felt as if Sharon was more like Xyla’s mother than his.He couldn’t help but smile a little. “I get it. I’ll ask her.”“Get back to me on WeChat right after asking her, okay? You know what? Forget it. I’ll call Xyla myself. You don’t have to do it,” Sharon said.“Xyla is gaming now. You shouldn’t call and interrupt her,” Stanley said.“Fine. Ask h

    After they kissed for a long while, Stanley Batton held Xyla Quest’s face in his hands while rubbing her cheeks with his thumbs. “Go ahead and play your game,” he said.Blushing, Xyla pushed him away and hopped off the desk. When she landed on the ground, her body tipped forward because she lost her balance.Subconsciously, she hugged him to hold herself steady.Stanley pinched Xyla’s chin softly with a playful look in his eyes. “Do you want to continue kissing me that badly? Hmm?” He asked.Xyla immediately blushed as her heart began to pound. “Jerk. I lost my balance. That’s all.”Stanley’s smile widened, and he kissed Xyla on her soft, smooth lips. “We’ll continue tonight. I’ve got a lot of work to do for now,” he said.“Who wants to continue doing anything with you?” Xyla gently pushed him away before returning to the couch with an annoyed expression on her face.Looking at her from behind, Stanley couldn’t help but chuckle a little. He then sat down at his desk.He was sti

    The two of them were the center of attention.After taking a few steps forward, Xyla Quest suddenly felt an ache in one of her heels, causing her to frown immediately.However, she didn’t say a word and continued to walk next to Stanley Batton.Stanley happened to have caught her micro expression. “What’s the matter?”Xyla shook her head. “It’s nothing. I guess the high heels must have scraped against my foot.”“Which one?” Stanley asked.“The right one,” Xyla said.Stanley instantly kneeled in front of her and carefully lifted her right leg by holding her right ankle. He then carefully examined her heel.He could see a large bruise on her heel. The skin on it had torn, and its surrounding was swollen.His action once again attracted everyone’s attention…“Why are you only telling me now?” Stanley asked.“It didn’t hurt before we came down,” Xyla said.Stanley didn’t say anything else. Instead, he directly carried her in his arms.When the surrounding employees saw how Sta

    Xyla Quest nodded obediently.Everything Stanley Batton did make her heart feel warm.“Thank you, my darling,” Xyla said.“What are you thanking me for? Silly.”After turning the engine on, Stanley drove Xyla to a castle-like villa.Inside the house, Sharon Lindt, Wilson Batton, and Catherine Batton were all sitting on the couch while watching something on the television.When they saw that Stanley and Xyla had returned, they all smiled.Catherine was the first to get up and walk over to Xyla and Stanley. She held Xyla’s hand, passionately. “Sister-in-law, you’re here…”“Yeah,” Xyla said.“Xyla, Stanley, hurry up and wash your hands. I’ve finished preparing dinner. I’ll heat the food, and we can start eating right away,” Sharon said excitedly while quickly standing up and looking at Stanley and Xyla.After finishing her sentence, Sharon quickly walked into the kitchen.“Mother, I’ll help you,” Catherine said before quickly letting go of Xyla’s hand and following Sharon into

    At first, Xyla Quest thought she might have had to put in a lot of effort to convince Wilson Batton.She now believed that Wilson wanted to go to Josh Batton’s concert all along, but he never made that decision because he was too prideful.When Xyla brought it up today, Wilson immediately agreed to her request. Firstly, he probably did so because he respected her. Secondly, he might have agreed to it because he wanted to go anyway, and Xyla happened to have offered him the opportunity to do so without jeopardizing his pride.By the time the two of them arrived downstairs, Stanley Batton and the rest were already seated on the couch, eating fruits.Catherine Batton was sharing news about #JayTyCP, a celebrity couple she recently became a huge fan of, with Sharon Lindt. The two of them were having a great time talking about it.Catherine repeatedly showed Sharon pictures of the two celebrities. They seemed completely engrossed.Meanwhile, Stanley appeared completely uninterested. 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.
