Christopher Lancelot subconsciously lowered his car window, his gaze fixed upon her. Xyla Quest stroked her hair as it billowed with the wind, tossing the strands of hair scattered on her chest to her back. Holding her helmet in one hand, she pranced toward Christopher and languidly placed her other hand on his car roof. “I won.”Christopher got out of his car and stood in front of Xyla. Casually closing the car door, he took off the helmet and met her eyes. “Alright then. What do you want me to do? I can do whatever you want me to do.”Xyla shook her head in response. “Nah. I don’t have anything in particular to ask from you.”“Hey, that’s our deal. Don’t waste your only chance to instruct me to do something for you. Xyla, I can give you anything as long you can name it,” Christopher said. “Well, why don’t you buy me a drink?” Xyla pondered for a short while. Her brain had regained its composure as soon as her car pulled up. Once again, grief crept over her like a hungry

“Yes,” Christopher Lancelot answered truthfully.Xyla Quest shrugged helplessly, then stretched out her hand. “Give me another cigarette.”Christopher immediately took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and drew two cigarettes. He placed one cigarette between Xyla’s lips and the other between his lips. Subsequently, he pulled out a lighter and lit the cigarette for Xyla. After lighting hers, he lowered his head and lit his own. The car was filled with smoke in a moment. Christopher thoughtfully lowered the car window to prevent the acrid smoke from choking her.A cool breeze touched the warmth of their cheeks, blowing away all the pungent smell of tobacco inside the car.Outside the car, the sky was dark, and the moon was bright. The icy wind rustled the leaves and waved the branches. A sudden gust of breeze greeted their car with the astringent scent of grass and soil, soothing Xyla’s tangled mind and soul. As she slowly calmed herself down, another thought sudden

“I think you’re right. Judging from the way Stanley Batton treats you, I honestly don’t believe that he hates you.“I think he’s sincere. I understand men the most. If a man hates a woman, he’d never be so nice to her no matter how much wealth and glory she brings to him.”Christopher Lancelot strongly agreed with Xyla Quest. His admiration for her intelligence was only amplified as he spoke. “Let me put it this way. I think you shouldn’t be downhearted for the time being. Gather your thoughts and ask Stanley the truth. It’s better to ask him directly,” Christopher added. Xyla nodded obediently. She couldn't agree more. For a moment, she felt relieved…She really hoped that everything was just like what she had told Christopher.No matter what the truth was, she should confront it and talk to Stanley about it face to face. It was unfair to condemn Stanley based on that recording alone. Thinking of this, Xyla immediately turned to look at Christopher. “Thank you for helpin

The car headlights went out. Everything became clear again. As soon as Xyla Quest lifted her head, Stanley Batton’s black Bentley Arnage came into her view. His car was right in front of her. She saw that Stanley was sitting in the passenger seat with a gloomy face through the transparent windscreen, glaring coldly at her. Stanley got out of the car before she could even react to his abrupt arrival. After he got out of the car, Zack Cassidy motioned the other black-clad men to get off their respective cars and follow him. Christopher Lancelot remained seated in his car with the car window halfway down. He propped his chin in his left palm while puffing at the cigarette, observing the group of men like a bystander. Xyla watched Stanley striding in her direction and stopped in front of her. He glowered at Christopher before averting his wary gaze to their racing cars and Christopher’s henchmen. Very soon, his gaze fell upon Xyla again. He coldly questioned her, “Is this

“What about our marriage? Did Grandpa ask you to marry me because of my blood?” Xyla Quest got straight to the point. “Yes…” Stanley Batton replied truthfully, after which he took a puff at the cigarette. His curt answer made Xyla’s heart skip a beat. Xyla subconsciously took a deep breath before continuing, “Is that why you tried to approach me using every possible means in the first place? Are you nice to me because of my blood? You want to keep me by your side as your blood supplier, am I right?”Stanley frowned slightly. The puzzlement in his eyes gradually intensified. “What? Who the hell told you this kind of nonsense? How can you believe such a thing about me?”Xyla kept a straight face the entire time. “You don’t have to know who told me that. I’m asking you right now. Answer me. Yes or no?”Irritated by Xyla’s accusation, Stanley grumpily puffed at the cigarette a couple of times and threw it out of the car window. He then turned Xyla’s body to him, his hands on her s

She was now more confident that her speculation was correct. After pondering for a few seconds, she nodded and said, “Okay. I trust you.” Only then did Stanley Batton let out a deep sigh of relief. He immediately pulled her into his arms. “I’ll have someone to check it out, and I’ll prove to you that I’m not lying.” Xyla Quest nodded. The turmoil in her mind and heart had finally come to an end. It was as if beautiful flowers were blooming on a piece of desolate land again. “You really do believe me, right?” Stanley gradually calmed himself down. Xyla nodded once more. “After thinking about it for the whole day, I think I should trust you. I should give you a chance to explain yourself instead of accusing you based on that recording alone.”Suddenly, Stanley felt a surge of warmth flowing in his veins. He was extremely touched. He sighed and met Xyla’s eyes. “Actually… I didn’t plan to let you know about my disease, but since you have brought it up… I guess I should be h

“Therefore, the reason our paths crossed isn’t as simple as fate…“You know what happened next, including my feelings and all. I’ve told you before. I’m telling you all this because I want you to know that I really do love you. Xyla, we’re together because I love you. It has nothing to do with your blood.“If I were after your blood, how could I not hold back from touching you for two whole years after we got married? I’m with you because I love you. There’s no other reason.”Stanley Batton kept explaining. He tried his best to express his innermost feelings to Xyla Quest. Xyla felt at ease after discovering the truth behind their relationship. As she recalled her heedlessness, fury, and anguish when she first heard the recording, she could not help but laugh at herself. She could only blame herself for being overwhelmed by resentment. It was a moment of reckless impetuousness that caused her to lose her rationality. “Fine… I trust you, hubby.” Xyla nodded lightly. She then

Xyla Quest immediately explained to Stanley Batton how he met Christopher Lancelot and why he brought her here to race. The man remained expressionless after listening to her explanation. Xyla knew that he was jealous. She threw her arms around his neck and pouted. “Don’t be angry with me. Okay?”Stanley sighed helplessly. “Xyla, what should I do with you?” Sometimes, he really did not know what to do with her. No matter how angry he was, his heart instantly melted when she was affectionate. There were times when he compromised just by looking at her face. Xyla’s smile widened. “Hmm… If you have no idea what to do with me, keep on spoiling me like a princess then.”The corners of Stanley’s soft lips gradually curved upward into a slight smile. “Are we good now?” Xyla asked. “You’re not jealous anymore, right?” Stanley gently tapped her nose and teased, “You’re really something, Xyla.”“Shall we go home?” Xyla asked.Stanley started the car and departed right away.

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’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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
