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

    She could not believe she just risked her life to hold on to her current position as Tom Sullivan’s wife.Jeremy Quest, Bailey Ronson, and May Conner were sitting beside her bed. When they saw Emily open her eyes, the three of them rose to their feet simultaneously.Bailey deliberately put on a sorrowful face as she held Emily Quest’s hand. “Silly girl, why did you slit your wrist? You should’ve told us if something is bothering you!”Jeremy’s face went sour. He could feel the number of wrinkles on his forehead increase. “Are you trying to scare your mother and me to death?”Tears raced down May’s cheeks. Her eyes and nose turned red. “Silly kid, please don’t do this to me anymore… You’re going to give me a heart attack.”Unlike Bailey’s deceitful acting, May was really worried about Emily.Her heart broke into pieces at the sight of her weak, ashen daughter.Trying all her might, Emily forced herself to sound as miserable as she could. “I just feel hopeless. What should I do if

    May Conner instantly shuddered.Emily Quest forced a bitter smile, looking lost and confused. “Dad doesn’t care about me anymore?”Bailey Ronson, who was standing beside her, felt like she would explode the next second. Success was just around the corner before it blew up in her face. How come their plan did not work?Why was everyone from the Quest family so strange and unpredictable?“Mom, what should I do now?” Emily looked at May anxiously.“Your father looks determined. If he’s not going to change his mind, I’m afraid that there’s nothing else we can do. He’ll hate me if I come up with some sorts of ideas again.” May sighed helplessly.Though it had been a long time since the last time Jeremy Quest almost divorced her, that horrible experience still haunted her.“What if I attempt suicide again?” Emily asked.“For all I know, that’s not going to help.” May let out a deep sigh once more before fixing her gaze upon Bailey. “You’ll have to fend for yourself from now on.

    “That’s not going to happen. There will be a way!” Emily Quest had made up her mind.***After Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton had a little chat with Sharon Lindt, the two of them left the house hand in hand.It was late at night, and the night sky was aglow with the bright silvery moon. The stars were hardly seen tonight. There were only a few of them around the moon.The fragrance of flowers danced along with the breeze, keeping the two’s minds refreshed in the late night.Xyla’s foot still hurt, so she did not change her shoes. She was wearing the same pair of pink slippers she wore at home.“Let’s go home…” Stanley held her hand and got into the car with her.Xyla fastened her seat belt while looking at him. “I thought we’re going to meet Sebastian Brenand and the rest?”“Your foot hurts. We’ll meet them next time,” answered Stanley.“Nah, I can walk perfectly fine. I’m not so dramatic, okay?” Xyla said again, “It happens to women all the time.”“Are you sure?” Stanley’s ey

    Josh Batton managed a faint smile. “Let’s continue with the interview…”On the other side, Xyla Quest was quietly reading the news using Stanley Batton’s phone after ending her call with Josh.Stanley reached out to her. Obediently, Xyla freed her right hand and held his, their fingers intertwined tightly.Very soon, Stanley’s car had arrived at the main entrance of the Unconscious Bar.The bar was very lively at this hour. Numerous people were walking in and out of the bar, bustling the night with noises and excitement.The luxury cars in front of the bar were as spectacular as those in a car show.After the two of them got out of the car, they went into the bar together hand-in-hand.The bar was super crowded inside. Music was blasting through the speakers, and fancy lights were flashing in all directions.The music played over the dance floor as if it had fused the bodies, hearts pounding to the crazy beats like they belonged to the music. Everyone in the bar was hyped up.

    Xyla Quest and Georgie Clementine exchanged looks and smirked. Neither of them took her words seriously.They wondered who her boyfriend was and why did she keep threatening them using his name.While Xyla caressed Georgie’s cheek, she asked with a concerned face, “Does it hurt?”Georgie shook her head, trying to reassure Xyla that she was fine.About five minutes later, Sebastian Brenand stalked out of the elevator. Noticing Sebastian’s arrival, the social media influencer quickly ran toward him and hugged his arm. She began to wail miserably, “Sob… Dear, that two women over there bullied me.”“Who has the nerve to touch my girl?” Sebastian looked gloomy. Without hesitation, the social media influencer pointed at Xyla and Georgie.Sebastian looked in the direction where she was pointing and found Xyla and Georgie staring at him.Like Sebastian, the two of them were surprised at his appearance. They had never expected him to be the social media influencer’s patron.Xyla shr

    The social media influencer was beginning to feel increasingly embarrassed.After watching her leave, Sebastian Brenand walked up to Xyla. “I would like to apologize to both of you once again. I didn’t know she was like that. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have brought her along.”None of the women Sebastian got to know lately had spared him from trouble, and none of them were as pleasant to look at as Rachel Wood.“It’s okay. It wasn’t your fault,” Xyla said with a chuckle.“Let’s go. Come up with me, Sister-in-law,” Sebastian said before looking over at Georgie Clementine. “You should come up with us too.”Right then, Henry Armstrong leisurely walked out of the lift. He then saw Georgie, Xyla, and Sebastian standing together.Henry immediately smiled and approached them.At one glance, he noticed the fingerprint mark on Georgie’s face. “What happened? Who hit you?” Henry asked.“It’s the entertainer I brought with me. She started the fight for no reason, causing a scene with Xyla a

    “The entertainer I brought with me spilled wine all over Xyla. She even caused a scene and later attacked Georgie,” Sebastian Brenand said truthfully with a worried expression on his face.Henry Armstrong remained silent as he pulled Georgie Clementine by her hand to the couch. He then forced her to sit down.After that, he swiftly retrieved a few chunks of ice from an ice bucket on the table. He then wrapped the ice in a wet napkin and gently pressed the makeshift ice pack against Georgie’s face.The coolness spread across Georgie’s face, lessening the burning sensation on her face.“Thank you,” Georgie said. Her attitude remained cold.“Don’t mention it.” Henry sat with one leg crossed over the other.Georgie didn’t say anything else. She grabbed the ice pack and continued to press it against her face.Stanley then turned to look at Sebastian coldly. “Don’t bring any random people over in the future,” he said.Sebastian quickly nodded and apologized. “Alright, alright. I know

    However, Sebastian Brenand’s singing was unbearably terrible.Everyone began to feel goosebumps all over their body. Stanley Batton glanced briefly at Sebastian before covering Xyla Quest’s eyes.When Henry Armstrong saw Stanley doing so, he also covered Georgie Clementine’s ears.Georgie immediately tried to pull his hands away, but she failed to do so.Despite seeing what happened, Sebastian ignored them and continued to serenade himself.By the end of the song, everyone let out long sighs of relief…Georgie pushed Henry’s hands away in a huff before rolling her eyes at him.To Henry, Georgie had an ice-cold personality, and she was also quick-tempered. However, he still found her attractive and interesting.The more Georgie behaved like this, the more Henry desired to have her.Stanley also pulled his hands away from Xyla’s ears and poured her another glass of cocktail.“You lot just don’t know how to appreciate my good singing,” Sebastian complained before returning to Ga

    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.
