The video was displaying the surveillance footage of Imperial Primeโs sales gallery.In the chaotic scene which followed, a large group of people surrounded Xyla Quest while requesting refunds for their units.The three people quietly watched the video while they wondered why Jeremy Quest wanted them to see this footage.After a while, Xyla could be seen approaching a blonde girl in the video. However, nobody knew what they said to each other as there was no sound recorded in the surveillance footage.Closely thereafter, the woman was taken away by a group of security guards.When Emily Quest and May Conner saw that happening, their pupils widened while their hearts began to pound. Emilyโs hands, which rested on her lap, were beginning to tremble slightly.What should Emily do? Did Xyla recognize the woman Emily had hired to cause a scene? What were they talking about? Had the woman spilled everything?Was their father angry because of this? It was over! It was over for Emily!May Conn

โEmily Quest, how could you do something like this? Donโt you think thatโs too much?โ Tom Sullivan asked with a frown.โThereโs something even worse,โ Xyla Quest glanced at Emily coldly before pouring herself another glass of fruit juice.โThereโs another voice recording down there. Open it up,โ Xyla said while she took a sip.Emily immediately felt panicked. What else could there be? Was there proof of her asking someone to make the whole thing up? That canโt be. Please, no!If that came out at the same time, Emily was doomed.Emily eyed Xyla up and down nervously. She did not dare to even look at Jeremyโs face while she proceeded to open the second voice recording with trembling hands.โI didnโt want to make anything up. Emily Quest kept asking me to do it. We are friends. Therefore, it was difficult for me to reject her. She said she would never let Imperial Prime perform well in its sales. She could not allow Xyla Quest to succeed so easily. Hence, she wanted to create a rumor so t

After a second, Emily Quest took a deep breath and tried to suppress her fear while she looked at Xyla Quest.โDid you arrange everything to happen this way? You made that woman and that man say those things to put the blame on me. I have no idea what they were talking about! Xyla Quest, what have I done to deserve this? Have you decided to be heartless just to fight over the family inheritance? Dad, Mom, and Brother Sullivan, you must not believe what Xyla said. She set all this up to put the blame on me intentionally,โ Emily said.At this crucial moment, Emily had to deny everything to possibly stay alive. If she admitted to all the accusations, her father would beat her into a pulp!โThatโs right. Husband, you canโt only listen to one side of the story. A lot of things need to be verified gradually,โ May Conner added before walking over to Jeremy nervously. She leaned against the armrest while holding on to his arm tightly.Since the beginning, Xyla had not uttered a single word. In

โBrother Sullivan, please help my mother and me. Please defend us. We really are innocent.โ Emily Questโs tears would not stop rolling down her cheeks. Her body was trembling severely as she looked at Tom Sullivan with a helpless gaze.โEmily Quest, I really do look down upon you. Are you still trying to shift the blame at this point?โ Tom said through gritted teeth while he clenched his fists tightly.Although Emily had already expected Tom to behave like this, she still felt very hurt by his words.Emily felt as if her mother and herself were like rats on the streets whom everyone hated.โI told you none of this is at it seems,โ Emily explained.However, Tom could not even be bothered to listen to her explanation as he turned his face away.After a second, Emily stopped herself from feeling hurt as she quickly walked over to Jeremy Quest and kneeled on the ground.โDad, I really am innocent. Please look into this again.โ She held onto Jeremyโs hand tightly.Since Jeremy was already v

โAre you b*tches refusing to admit what you did? Alrightโฆ Iโm not going to continue with this bickering. I didnโt want to deal with this internally anyway. Somebody, come here! Take Emily and her mother to the cops!โ Jeremy Quest ordered coldly.When Emily and May heard this, their faces turned pale.โIf you refuse to speak the truth here, the police will be able to make you do so at the police station!โ Jeremyโs voice cracked by the time he was close to finishing his sentence.โI didnโt do anything wrong. Why are you turning me in to the police? Iโm still a pregnant lady,โ Emily shouted while she placed a hand over her stomach as she crawled up.โSo what if you are a pregnant lady? A pregnant lady can still be investigated by the police! You should be lucky you are a pregnant lady. Otherwise, I would beat you up directly!โ Jeremy yelled.โHusband, letโs sort this out internally. We shouldnโt advertise our domestic issues to outsiders. What are you doing?โ May shouted.Thereafter, May

โOfficers, did you hear that? She admitted it. Take her away immediately! Thereโs no need to investigate! Also, please investigate my wife. Sheโs part of this!โ Jeremy stood up and said to the police officers.By then, Emily already felt hopeless. She knew this was the end for her.โBrother Sullivan, why donโt you say something to save me? If Iโm taken away, our wedding might be indefinitely postponed! The child would be affected too!โ Emily immediately turned to look at Tom Sullivan.Since Tom was eager for Emily to be taken away, and he never wanted to marry her anyway, he did not mind that she would be sent to prison. After all, the police officers would keep her child safe once she arrived.Therefore, Tom turned his face away without saying a word.Undoubtedly, Emily felt even more hurt by his attitude.May Conner could no longer take this anymore. She pointed a finger at Tom Sullivan. โTom, how could you be this inhumane? She is bearing your child!โ May yelled at Tom angrily.โTha

โAlright, Dad is going upstairs to rest. You should rest early too. Tom, itโs getting late. You should head home soon,โ Jeremy Quest said before standing up and heading upstairs.When Xyla Quest saw him leaving, she could not help but feel her heart aching on his behalf.It must have felt terrible to be betrayed by the person he trusted the most. It must have hurt even more to send the person he loved to jail.After Jeremy left, Xyla began heading upstairs as well. It did not seem like she even wanted to speak to Tom Sullivan.Alas, Xyla had seen through all of Tomโs tricks. He was an absolute jerk who did not even deserve to be looked at.However, just as Xyla arrived at the staircase, Tom immediately ran after her. He took one step further up the stairs to stand in her way.After a second, he wrapped his hands tightly around her shoulders.โI was very worried about you after what happened to Imperial Prime. When I saw how well you handled the situation, I felt very happy for you. Why

However, Xyla Quest did not respond to his nonsense. Instead, she frowned a little before using a shoulder throw to bring Tom Sullivan to the ground.Thereafter, Xyla swiftly made her way upstairs and disappeared around the corner without hesitation.After being thrown to the ground, Tom Sullivan barely had the energy to get up, never mind going after Xyla.After a long while, he finally crawled up with much difficulty as he panted and held onto the railing.Had Xyla picked up martial arts? She was even more appealing now.โXyla, I wonโt give up on you.โ Tom had a determined look in his eyes.After Xyla went upstairs, she went directly to the master bedroom. As the door was not completely closed, she could see Jeremy smoking on his bed while he sat with his back facing the door.Amidst the smoke, Xyla could see how depressed he appeared. Her heart went out to him.Although Xyla wanted to go in to comfort him, she decided to close the door silently after some though. She knew her father

Xyla quickly reached for Hannahโs hand. โIs that right? Hannah, youโre amazingโฆ! Youโre practically on par with Leon!โHannah laughed, slightly embarrassed. โNot at all.โโOh, cut it out. If you hadnโt helped me, how could I have improved so quickly?โ Leon chuckled.โI guess Iโve lived up to my promise.โ 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. โYes, Hannahโs very capable. Sheโs our family pride.โHannah laughed. โI was lucky to be accepted by your family.โIn 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

โHannah, Iโve taken the first step for you. Are you willing to walk by my side for the rest of our lives?โ Leon asked, serious.โYes, I amโฆโ Hannah answered without missing a beat.โIโll protect you. From now on, you donโt have to worry about a single thing.โ With that, Leon placed both hands on Hannahโs face and kissed her on the lips.The moment their lips touched, everything felt surrealโฆHannah could feel pink, light bubbles floating all around her. It felt as if all the flowers in the world were blossoming at once.In Hannahโs 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 nowโฆ 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, Leonโs 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, Hannahโs 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 wasnโt a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfoundedโฆThis meant Leon actually liked her! He was confessing to her, wasnโt 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 couldnโt utter a single word.Her heartbeat increased rapidly, and her entire body began to shake.

Immediately after, the men in black pulled out guns from their pockets, which they aimed at Raymondโs head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. โWho are you? Donโt you know what youโre doing is illegal?โLeon sneered. โYou donโt deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.โLeonโs 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.โMr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?โ One of the men dressed in black asked.โMr. Batton? Are you Stanley Battonโs son?!โ 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.โHow dare you address our president by name?!โ Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif

Terrible pain ached at every part of Hannahโs 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, โMr. Grayโฆ What is the meaning of this?โ โWhatโs the meaning of this? Ha! Donโt you know whatโs good for you?

Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasnโt about to be silent anytime soon. Hannah felt deeply unsettled, so much that she didnโt 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 Grayโฆ 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 didnโt 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.

I told him that Hannah would only sing three songs todayโฆโโHe lost his temper and claimed heโd destroy our bar if Hannah refuses to sing another songโฆโ 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 werenโt 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 didnโt respect women at allโฆ 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
