Suddenly, Emily Quest was enraged. She pointed at Xyla Quest and bellowed, “Xyla! My mom has pleaded with you, and I’ve also apologized to you. Yet, you don’t want to forgive me. Fine! But how dare you send me to jail! How dare you frame my mom!“You deserve what I did to you. You’ve pissed me off ever since we were kids. I’m sick of the sight of you. You think that I’m picking on you. Oh yeah? Do you dare to swear to god that you’ve never done anything like that to me?“You, and I… We’re the same. Why are you pretending to be a pure little angel? You b*tch!” Emily roared frantically. Her resentment grew inside her like a tumor. “Emily, you’re the one who started this. I never wanted to pick a fight with you. Neither have I made up any unnecessary story to slander both of you. Whether I framed Auntie or not, the police will give you an answer,” Xyla replied coldly.“We keep getting at you because you ask for it!” Emily jabbed, “Besides, aren’t you alive and well after everything w

Suspicion flashed in Xyla Quest’s eyes. “Really?”Jeremy Quest shrugged indifferently. “Yeah. She has gone too far. I’ve had enough.”Following that statement, Jeremy lit another cigarette and took a long drag at it before continuing, “Xyla, is your body okay?”Xyla smiled. “I’m fine. Thank god I discovered her misdeed before it’s too late.”Jeremy’s eyes were filled with curiosity. “Oh? How did you find out about it?”Xyla gave him a curt nod. “I’m not sleeping well these days, and I always wake up feeling dizzy. Moreover, I experience feelings of nausea occasionally. I’ve tried taking my pulse, but I don’t feel anything unusual.“I went to the hospital to find Emily’s doctor yesterday afternoon. He wasn’t in the office, so I decided to do a blood test while waiting for him. I was surprised to find out that the mercury level in my body was way over the limit.“That was when I realized that someone was trying to poison me. No doubt, Emily and May were the first who crossed my mi

They were both in handcuffs and legcuffs, their faces dull and sallow. May Conner immediately begged for mercy when she saw Jeremy Quest. “Dear, it’s not me… Please believe me…”Though she knew that Jeremy would never believe her, she ought to try it one last time before stepping out of the house. Nevertheless, Jeremy did not even bother to look at her. He lit a cigarette and started smoking again. “Screw you, Xyla! I won’t let you live in peace once I get out of jail! “This isn’t the end! You can count on it! Wait till I regain my freedom… I’ll make your life miserable!” Emily bellowed in agony while she was frogmarched off by several police officers. How she hoped she could rip off Xyla’s skin at that moment. Her voice was sharp and pathetic. The living room was filled with her roar. Instead of rebuking her, Xyla reached for the teacup on the coffee table and leaned on Stanley Batton’s shoulder. Her utter apathy was reflected in her eyes. Emily and May were dragg

The sudden shock made Jeremy Quest’s muscles tense. His heart froze, and his stomach turned cold. Jeremy immediately rose to his feet and rushed to Stanley Batton’s side. His arms trembled in fear as he shook his body. “Stan… Stan… Wake up… What happened to you?” However, Stanley was unconscious.The color quickly drained from his face. He looked as pale as chalk. Terror sucked the very breath from Jeremy’s mouth when he saw Stanley’s ashen face. Trying with all his might, he steadied his breath and carefully placed his finger near Stanley’s nose. A weak, cold air brushed over his finger. Jeremy’s heart finally returned to his chest when he found a sign of breathing from Stanley.Without further ado, he pulled out his phone and dialed 911. ***The ambulance arrived at the doorstep fifteen minutes later. Stanley was sent to Municipal Hospital right away. Jeremy was with him the entire time. Once they arrived at the hospital, Stanley was pushed into the VIP emergency roo

A male doctor was currently talking to Jeremy Quest. “The patient is suffering from congenital dyserythropoietic anemia, and he must undergo a blood transfusion now. Don’t worry. I’ll contact his blood donor.”The doctor was wearing a white coat and a pair of refined, silver-rimmed glasses. His hair was neatly parted in three-sevenths, matching well with his delicate features. His presence imparted an air of elegance. He looked very much like a hot actor walking out from the television. Upon hearing that, Xyla Quest immediately quickened her pace as she walked up to the doctor. “I can give him my blood.”The male doctor was startled. “You? Do you know what blood type he has?” “Yes. I’m his wife. We share the same blood type,” Xyla said again. “Come with me. You have to do a simple body check-up before we proceed with the blood transfusion,” the doctor explained. As he spoke, Xyla stole a glance at the name tag on his chest. Stephen Harris, the Vice President of Municipal Ho

Stephen Harris plopped down across Jeremy Quest and Xyla Quest and said, “He’s undergoing blood transfusion now. He should be fine after that.” Xyla nodded lightly. It was a great weight off her mind to find her husband safe and sound. “Are you the one treating him all this while?” Xyla asked. “Yeah.” Stephen nodded. Though Xyla had many questions in her mind, she managed to hold herself back as Jeremy was right beside her. About ten minutes later, the door of the emergency room flung open again. Stanley Batton came out of the room. His cheeks were faint pink, which was much better than before, but he still looked a bit haggard. However, even so, the compelling aura around him had not waned in the slightest. Seeing him, Xyla immediately rushed to him and carefully held his arm. “Hey, how are you? Do you feel better now?”Stanley nodded weakly. “Yeah… I heard that you donated your blood to me.”“Yes,” Xyla answered truthfully. Jeremy quickly walked up to him and as

“Yes, I’m alright,” As Stanley Batton spoke, he pulled out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to Jeremy Quest courteously. Jeremy took the cigarette from him and placed it between his lips. Stanley then took out the lighter and carefully lit the cigarette for Jeremy. Jeremy took a deep breath before continuing, “Xyla told me that you’d be fine as long as you go for regular blood transfusion. Is that true?” “Yeah.” Stanley refused to elaborate on his condition. “Are you sure?” Jeremy asked again.“Don’t worry, Dad. It shouldn’t be a problem if I take good care of myself.” Following that statement, Stanley lit another cigarette and took a couple of long drags at it. Smoke suspended in the still air, twirling around his exquisite jawline and perfect features. His charm was irresistible. Only then did Jeremy heave a sigh of relief. “That’s great…”“Shall we play another round? I’ll go get the chess set,” Stanley asked. “Nah. You should get some rest. Just sit with

“What brings you here?” Xyla Quest asked. “You, of course. I was looking at the time, and I guessed you should be done with the statement by now.” “Didn’t the doctor say that you should rest more these few days?” Xyla nagged. “Look at me. Do I look like I need a good rest?” Stanley joked. “You have to listen to the doctor no matter… Mmphfm…” Before she could even finish her sentence, Stanley gave her a long, lingering kiss. Xyla’s heart began to hammer against her chest. Blush seared through her cheeks, all the way to her neck. There was an endless stream of cars in front of the police station, but he paid them no notice as usual. His kiss was fearless and addictive. Xyla immediately recollected herself and pushed him away. Her face was all red as she subconsciously looked around her. “Are you crazy? Many people are looking at us!”“Let them watch then… Alright, get in the car. We’d better get going…” Stanley smiled at her dotingly. He held her hand, walked her to the

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

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.

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

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?

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.

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.
