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.

“Xyla, I won’t give up on you.” 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

    After three seconds, Zack Cassidy recollected himself. However, he was in a state of disbelief.Fifth Master did not used to be like this.Right then, the computer screen turned gray while a line of words appeared on the screen.“You have been killed.”Stanley Batton acted as if he had not seen it. Instead, he shifted his gaze back to Zack.Zack immediately appeared respectful as before.“The person who went around spreading rumors had been located. That person is a famous hacker. Now, he has already admitted to everything. He said that Emily Quest was the person who had instructed him to do so. I heard that the young madam personally decoded the man’s fake IP address and tracked him down. I did not expect her to be a computer expert. She really is amazing,” Zack said.Stanley smiled a little but did not say anything. He was in awe of Xyla’s abilities.“Now, as long as the Quest family makes an announcement to show proof of what had actually transpired, the whole thing will come to pas

He was the most elegant killer in the world.Very soon, Stanley’s team achieved victory. He immediately removed himself from the queue and proceeded to open the chatroom between him and Xyla Quest in Wechat.After hovering his finger above the screen for a few seconds, he narrowed his eyes a little. “I’ve already memorized the book. What’s next?”Right then, Xyla was also waiting in a queue for her teammates to get matched.“Beep beep…”When Xyla’s phone suddenly started vibrating, she shifted her gaze to the phone.She was surprised to read what Five Batton sent her.How was he able to memorize everything in that book in such a short amount of time? Did he have a photograp

    Although Sharon Lindt knew that Stanley Batton did not like it when someone talked to him while he was gaming, Sharon could not resist speaking her mind after seeing ‘Seven’.Stanley gave Sharon a look before he continued fighting against Seven.Sharon sat on the armrest of his chair while she observed the match earnestly.“Can I stay here and observe the entire match? After all, this is a battle between the two best players. I know you don’t like it, but it’s just this one time,” Sharon said.Her eyes were filled with hope and urgency. Sharon was eager to watch Stanley defeat his opponents.Meanwhile, Stanley was completely focused on playing the game. Despite the intense battle, he kept a calm expression on his face and did not say a word.Assuming that he silently agreed, Sharon did not leave.However, Stanley soon died in battle yet again. Like the last time, he was very close to defeating Seven.“Ahhh. If only you used A on him a moment sooner, he would have died instead,” Sharon

    “Compared to you, I am a newbie. God, can you please guide me in the game more often? Please consider doing it because I am so weak. Sob.” North wrote.“Okay.” Seven responded.“God, you are the best! Oh, yeah. Are you a professional player?” North asked.“No.” Seven replied.When Stanley Batton returned, the first thing he saw was the messages Sharon Lindt sent on her phone. He immediately started frowning.Did his mother just ruin his heroic reputation? Did she claim that he was weak and helpless and asked someone to guide him? Sob? God, you are the best?Earlier, Stanley had rejected the person upfront. Now that Sharon had said these things about Stanley, how would that person think?“Mom, why did you do that?” Stanley asked unhappily.“What did I do? Can’t I just play with her?” Sharon asked.“This is my account,” Stanley answered.“But she wouldn’t accept any of my friend requests. Therefore, I will use your account whenever I want to play so that Seven can guide me,” Sharon said

    All Xyla Quest wanted to tell this person right now was ‘good job’.Xyla began to smile widely. Right then, it seemed almost as if she were brighter than the sun.“Xyla, are you listening?” Lana Harrison asked.“Yeah, I am listening. If you can’t find out who that person is, I’m sure he must be a big shot.” Xyla quickly returned to her senses.Who was this person? He was unbelievably powerful.“That’s for certain. I wonder what Emily and her mother have done to deserve such misfortune. It must be karma,” Lana said.“Yeah,” Xyla said.“They deserve it. I feel happy just thinking about it. Alright, you are probably busy this early in the morning. Aunty shan’t bug you any longer,” Lana said.“Alright. Aunty, let’s have a chat when we are free. Thank you, Aunty,” Xyla said.“Don’t thank me, silly child. It’s what I should do anyway,” Lana said.After hanging up, Xyla turned to face the sunlight before stretching her arms out.When Jeremy Quest came to her mind, she immediately stopped smil

They had to do it with their bare hands.When the oily leaves got stuck on their hands, the duo felt utterly disgusted.By now, their hands had already turned purple from the cold. Their bodies were also shivering.The frowns on their faces were so deep that they could probably kill a fly between their brows.Right now, they were more affected by the hopelessness they felt inside than the cold they felt physically.Although they were both aware of the precarious situation they were in, neither of them could come up with a solution to resolve this mess.Whenever Emily thought of the fact that she was locked in prison until the day of her wedding, she would break down in tears.When she thought of the idea of losing her father completely, she felt even more hopeless.May Conner was in a similar situatio

She was jealous of her! Emily refused to give up!May was feeling the same way. In fact, she could not help but think about how Emily would live in the future with Xyla still in the spotlight.

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.

    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.

    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. 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.
