Suddenly, the phone vibrated. The vibration awakened Tom Sullivan. Seeing that the detention center was calling him, Tom reluctantly picked up the call. “Hubby…” Emily Quest’s irritating voice pierced his ears. Tom’s face darkened instantaneously. He was in a fractious mood. His sleep-deprived brain was going in circles as he was too high last night. A severe headache almost tore his head apart. On top of that, Emily’s ‘surprise’ call had worsened his headache. “What do you want?”“Hubby, I have something important to tell you. Come to the detention center tomorrow. We’ll talk in person.“You know what’s the consequences if you don’t come. By the way, don’t ever think of killing me. I’ve already passed the evidence of you taking drugs to someone I trust. Your misdeeds will be exposed to the public even if I die,” Emily added. Tom was going to refuse her request. However, Emily’s warning had rendered him speechless.In fact, he had thought of quitting drugs because he

“Have you read the novel before?” Sebastian Brenand asked. “Yeah, I have.” “There’s a fairy called Elvenia in the story. You know her, right?”Xyla Quest nodded in response. She was aware of this character. She was the most beautiful woman in Wingardium. Her beauty had impressed both the mortal and immortal worlds. She was the daughter of God Aljar. Though she was just a minor role in the story, she had left a lasting impression on the readers. The author had once mentioned that she was so beautiful that everyone else would fade into the background when she smiled. Elvenia had only appeared in a few chapters in the web novel. Three hundred years ago, she fell in love with a human when she visited the mortal world. However, their relationship had violated the rules in Wingardium. Aljar was furious about it. He ordered the killing of the mortal man and took Elvenia back to Wingardium. He locked her up in her room for three hundred years as her punishment for disrespe

“Stan won’t mind about it, right?” Sebastian Brenand grinned. “I call the shots at home. No worries,” Xyla Quest replied playfully. Sebastian gave her a thumbs-up. “Cool. I respect you.”“Have you gotten over her yet? I notice that you’re getting much better now.” Xyla asked concernedly.“Oh yeah, I’ll have someone to send the contracts regarding your investment and your role as Elvenia to your office later.” Sebastian changed the subject. “Alright, sure.” Xyla nodded lightly. “I’d better get going. I’ve disturbed you for too long.” Sebastian immediately got up from the couch. “Let’s go. I’ll walk you to the parking lot.” Xyla stole a glance at his desk full of files and papers. “It’s okay. I guess you have more important things waiting for you to do.”Following that statement, she stalked out of the office and took the elevator to the first floor. Her phone vibrated as soon as she got into the car. Seeing Ron Batton’s name on the screen, Xyla immediately answered the

Xyla Quest saw a pale young man lying on the ground not far away from her. A beautiful young girl with a double ponytail was kneeling next to the man. The girl was shaking the man’s body anxiously, her fair chubby face full of tears. Xyla immediately hurried to them and knelt beside the man to take his pulse. She took a closer look at the man’s face. It was ashen and tinged with green. His lips were pale, and his dark circles were heavy. The man was tall but slim.He was a handsome guy, even if he looked a little haggard at the moment. Judging from his pulse and complexion, Xyla was convinced that he was poisoned. It seemed that he had taken in a high concentration of sodium cyanide. Sodium cyanide was extremely toxic. The golden timeframe to save someone from cyanide poisoning was within ten to twenty minutes. He would die once they missed the golden timeframe. There were only two ways to cure cyanide poisoning. The first one was using Chinese medicine to deto

Xyla Quest’s heart softened when she looked at the girl. She gently patted the girl’s back and comforted her, “Don’t worry, girl. She’ll be fine.”The girl did not answer Xyla. She kept on crying with her head down. Uneasiness and fear were written all over her face.“Let’s take a seat over there while waiting for him.” Following that statement, Xyla held the girl’s hand and led her to the bench.The girl sat down obediently as Xyla told her to though she still refused to reply to her. Xyla understood that the girl needed some time to herself, so she decided to stop talking. She plopped down next to the girl, quietly accompanying her outside the emergency room.The two remained silent for a long time before the girl finally opened her mouth. “Thank you so much,” she blubbered.“It’s the least I can do,” Xyla said. “He’ll be fine, right?” the girl asked. “Yeah, he’ll most probably be fine. Don’t worry. I’ve learned medicines before. I know his condition,” Xyla reassured her.

His tone suggested impatience and loathing. Wrath and resentment surrounded him as if he was a devil from hell. Emily Quest could feel her scalp prickle. She immediately sank to the ground, repeatedly kowtowing to beg for his mercy. “Master… I’m… I’m so sorry… Please give me another chance…”“I’ve given you a second chance, haven’t I? How dare you to ask for a third chance? Am I supposed to give you the fourth chance too? Dumbass! Kill yourself!” the man bellowed. “No… No, Master, please give me another chance… Just once…”“Don’t worry. I’ll send your mother to hell too, so you have a companion down there.”***In Kingstell, Country Y.After returning to the jewelry exhibition, Xyla Quest bought several sets of her favorite jewelry pieces. She strolled around the hall for quite some time after settling the bill. When she noticed that the sky was turning dark, she left the hall with her bodyguards and got into their respective cars.

The cars behind them all came to a halt too. The sky was painted black. The night was aglow with the dazzling city lights. Dragon Group’s branch office was as grand as the head office. The outside of the building was made of glass. It towered over the other buildings around it, looking exceptionally spectacular in the moonlight. There were security guards on either side of the main entrance. They were standing as rigid as poles, dedicatedly guarding the building. Xyla Quest’s bodyguards got out of the cars before her. After that, they lined up in two rows beside the car and hung their heads respectfully. Xyla fixed her high ponytail before getting out of the car carefully. She crossed the busy road and headed straight to the company’s main entrance. Just as she was about to enter the building, the four security guards at the entrance stood in her way and stopped her from going inside. The four of them were pure Country Y-ians, with blonde hair and blue pupils. They

Though they tried to keep their voices down, Xyla Quest could still clearly hear their malicious comments. Every word pierced her eardrums like a blade. Nevertheless, she remained as calm as ever. She could understand their reactions to her abrupt arrival. They must have encountered many ridiculous girls trying to sneak into their office and hit on their president. ‘I’m the young mistress’ was the common lie they used. They had seen too much, so they were susceptible to girls like her. Xyla inadvertently met the security guards’ eyes while stretching her neck. The four of them formed a barrier against her intrusion, their eyes burning with fury as they glared at her. Xyla raised her brows indifferently before lowering her head and continuing playing with her phone. About two minutes later—Stanley Batton marched out of the elevator with Zack Cassidy. They headed straight to the main entrance once they stepped out of the elevator.Stanley was wearing a white dress sh

“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

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

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?

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.

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.
