The news headline was praising Xyla Quest’s painting.Xyla knew what everyone was probably saying in the comment section without even having to read through the article.She didn’t tap on the link. Instead, she locked her phone screen and looked at Sharon Lindt. “Mom, I never told you I could paint. Why were you so confident in me in front of everyone earlier?” Xyla asked.This was something Xyla had wanted to ask Sharon.Sharon placed her hands on her face and smiled at Xyla. “It’s because of your comments and what you said to your stepmother… You said that just because you have never painted in the past, it didn’t mean you wouldn’t know how to paint now.”“Why didn’t you think I was just blowing my own trumpet as everyone else said?” Xyla felt a warm sensation spreading in her heart when she recalled how much Sharon trusted in her.Sharon smiled. “That’s because I know that Xyla would never blow her own trumpet. You always say what you mean. I never doubted anything you said,”

Meanwhile, Michael Gabriel sat beside him and gently consoled Canelo.Xyla Quest couldn’t hear what they were saying clearly. When she saw Canelo crying like this, she subconsciously thought it must have been because of the pain. She quickly walked up to the bed.“Canelo? How are you doing? Does it hurt a lot?” Xyla asked.“No, it doesn’t.” Canelo shook her head.“Then, why are you crying?” Xyla asked.“He felt sorry for the team for hurting his wrist during such a crucial period. He’s afraid that the team might lose without even getting to play…” Michael said.“Boss… Please, can you take my place? There isn’t anyone who can substitute me in the team. If I really can’t play, it’s over,” Canelo begged fervently as he held onto Xyla’s hand.When Xyla looked at him, she could sense how deeply passionate he was about his team, as well as the strong sense of craving for glory in him.Her impression of him improved significantly.Xyla nodded without hesitation. “Alright… Once I retu

Stanley Batton was standing at the door with a large bouquet of roses in his hand and a smile on his face.At one glance, Xyla Quest guessed that there were probably ninety-nine roses.The roses were in full bloom, and the colors were stunningly beautiful. On top of that, Stanley had such a handsome face, and it all looked as if it belonged to a romantic movie scene.A flowery scent filled Xyla’s nostrils. She smiled. “Why did you suddenly think of buying flowers? It’s such a large bouquet, too,” Xyla said.“Hmm. I passed by a florist on the way home. That’s why I got it,” Stanley said before passing the bouquet to Xyla.Since it was such a large, heavy bouquet, Xyla needed to use a lot of strength to hold it firmly.Most women liked flowers, especially roses. Xyla was not an exception.The beautiful flowers put Xyla in a good mood.She couldn’t resist sniffing the flowers in her arms.When Stanley saw this happening in front of him, he couldn’t help but take his phone out to

Stanley Batton started chuckling next to Xyla Quest’s ear…Xyla quickly grabbed his phone and opened the photo album.“During dinner tonight, Mom told me about your snowy plum painting. I saw it on Weibo too. You’re amazing, darling,” Stanley praised Xyla generously. There was a look of approval in his eyes, but his smile was not quite apparent.Xyla smiled without saying anything. “To be honest, it’s not that great… I never thought I was amazing or anything…”“Here, have it back,” Xyla said before returning Stanley his phone.“Put it back where you took it from…” Stanley’s voice sounded like a cello. There was an attractive quality to it.“In your dreams,” Xyla said as she blushed.“Good girl… Do what you’re told to,” Stanley said.“No,” Xyla refuted.“If you don’t, you’ll be punished,” Stanley said.With that, Stanley pressed his body against hers.Suddenly, Xyla’s heart began to pound. She subconsciously pressed against his chest while she chuckled. “Stop it…” she complai

“Yeap. I’ve loved it since I was a child. When I traveled to Country F last time, I came across a really beautiful town there. All the streets in that town were planted with red roses on both sides. Oh, it was simply enchanting. How I hope we can do the same in Atlantis,” Xyla Quest replied in a low murmur.“Hmm…” Stanley Batton said, “Maybe your dream will come true one day.”Xyla did not respond anymore. She snuggled in the man’s arms and quietly fell asleep. The next morning, the lovebirds were both awakened by the noises of a vibrating phone. Xyla reached for her phone on the bedside table in a daze. Noticing that it was not her phone vibrating, she dropped her phone and wrapped the blanket around herself, going back to sleep.On the other hand, Stanley immediately grabbed his phone and stalked out to the balcony, lowering his voice as he answered the call. “Any updates, Zack?”“I found out that Bailey Ronson had been calling a random number quite frequently before she trac

Six bodyguards in black suits followed closely behind her. “Xyla, come to my office. I have something to discuss with you.”“Okay.”Hanging up the phone, Xyla Quest took the elevator and headed to the chairman’s office at once.She knocked on the door politely when she arrived at her father’s office. After receiving a response from Jeremy Quest, she pushed open the door and entered the office.Jeremy was currently sitting in front of the high-grade rosewood desk, making some tea with his set of professional teaware tools.There were different kinds of bottles and jars on the desk. All of which looked classy and exquisite. Noticing Xyla’s presence, a benevolent smile blossomed on Jeremy’s face instantaneously. “Xyla, come over here…”As he spoke, he beckoned Xyla to his desk. Xyla immediately walked up to him and asked with concern, “What’s wrong, Dad?”“There’s a grand antique auction in Belrynna this evening. I’m going to have a look at the antique over there.

#Xyla Quest replaces Canelo in the Spring Playoff Semifinals# appeared as the third hot topic of the day. Without further ado, Xyla Quest tapped the topic and scrolled through it. The first thing that caught her eyes was the declaration post uploaded by Team QPG’s official account. Canelo’s injury and the news about her replacing him in the playoff semifinals were all clearly stated in the post. The comment section below exploded with exhilaration. The breaking news had successfully won great attention from all over the world. “From the video about her playing with Amigo at the cyber cafe, I think she’ll nail it!”“I haven’t seen a female player from our region in years. She’ll definitely become a household name if she manages to win the game.”“Honestly speaking, I don’t know what’s so great about her. Why is everyone calling her pretty? There are many better-looking girls out there, okay? Countless people can’t make their debut as a professional gamer even after a lifetime

“I’m having a street photoshoot for a magazine.”“Okay, then. Stay safe,” Xyla Quest admonished.“I will.” “Go home and have a rest after you’re done with the photoshoot, okay? Don’t overwork.” “Okay.”“Alright, I’ll call you again. Bye.”“Bye.”Josh Batton nodded dutifully over and over again. His feet remained rooted to the floor even though Xyla had ended the call a long time ago. Finally, he reluctantly lowered his phone and chucked it back into his pocket. When he was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of the two workers. Nonetheless, his gaze fell upon them merely for a second. Giving the two a polite nod, he turned around and walked out of the cafe. The two female workers were nearly out of breath…Once again, they clutched each other’s hands in excitement, their fingers intertwining tightly. “Oh my god! Josh Batton just looked at us! I swear I’m not going to wash my face today because he looked at this face!”“I think that glance melted me! Do you know what ‘l

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.
