Under the warm, gentle light, Xyla Quest’s face seemed like a peeled lychee fruit that was soft and delicate.Her eyes were shining brightly like a thousand stars.When Stanley Batton looked at her face, he felt as if a once empty space in his heart had been instantly filled.This woman was way too beautiful.No matter how often he looked at her, he would still be impressed.“Tell me, why are you so pretty? Hmm?” Stanley’s eyes were filled with affection.Xyla’s smile widened. “Hmm… It’s most probably because my parents both looked good…”“Hmm… Xyla Quest, I think I’ve fallen head over heels in love with you. What do I do?” Stanley said.Before meeting Xyla, Stanley never thought he’d one day fall for a woman like this.Even more so, he never thought he’d be this interested in any woman. In fact, he would feel disturbed for not seeing her for a single day. He wished he could tie this woman to his waist and bring her with him wherever he went.His straightforward words made Xy

When Xyla Quest heard that, she was instantly dumbfounded.Her mind went blank.She couldn’t believe what she had just heard.Two days ago, Emily Quest was still boasting about how she would deal with Xyla in the future. How did she die just like that?And how did May Conner die so suddenly too?“How did they die?” Xyla asked.Stanley Batton could vaguely overhear the conversation between Xyla and her father.His facial expression instantly became serious.He didn’t say anything, but he quickly sat up and moved closer to Xyla so that he could hear what Jeremy was saying.“Emily killed herself. Your aunt suddenly had a cerebral hemorrhage… They both died yesterday,” Jeremy said.This sudden news left Xyla in a state of disbelief.She really didn’t think the two of them would end up like this.The other day, when Xyla saw Emily, Emily didn’t look like she would kill herself at all.Emily even said through gritted teeth that she would get her revenge against Xyla once she got

After the entourage of black luxury cars left the airport, they sped all the way.Finally, the cars stopped in front of parlor No.1 at Municipal Funeral Home.All sorts of black luxury cars were parked in the parking lot.There were white lanterns hung all around the courtyard where the funeral was held.The sky seemed gray and dull.It was as if the entire world was shrouded in a haze.The door of the parlor was wide open.Xyla Quest could clearly see Emily Quest and May Conner’s coffins surrounded by a large pile of wreaths.There were also countless wreaths placed neatly by both sides of the parlor’s entrance.There were also black-and-white photos of the both of them smiling widely on the wall behind the coffins.Jeremy Quest was sitting motionless in front of their coffins. He seemed to be hunching a little from behind. It was as if he had suddenly aged by a few years.All the Quest family’s close friends and family members were here. Right then, some of them were linin

Everyone in the Sullivan family seemed very aggrieved, but there wasn’t a single tear in their eyes.Xyla Quest knew very well that the entire family was just putting on an act.None of them from the Sullivan family actually felt sad about Emily Quest’s death.Yet, even so, Xyla still didn’t feel sorry for Emily.Everyone needed to pay for what they did. Back when Emily was alive, she wasn’t kind to others. After she died, she also shouldn’t receive kindness from others.Jeremy Quest didn’t say anything. Instead, he silently listened to what the Sullivan family said as he looked at his wife and daughter’s memorial portraits with an empty gaze.He was feeling extremely upset.Although he hated the two of them thoroughly, he still felt a great pain in his chest when he looked at their coffins and memorial portraits.Seeing her father like this made Xyla feel extremely upset as well.She immediately hugged Jeremy tight. “Dad, please don’t be too sad. You’ll hurt yourself,” Xyla s

About half an hour later, Jeremy Quest trembled as he stood up. He walked directly to Xyla Quest. “Please go home and pack up your aunt and Emily’s belongings. We’ll bury those things with the two of them tomorrow,” he said.After saying that, Jeremy looked at Stanley Batton. “Stan, please stay here and look after the guests.”“Okay,” Xyla replied. After that, Xyla walked out of the parlor with Stanley. She then left the funeral home with a group of bodyguards waiting outside.***Back at the Quest family’s place, Xyla led the servants into Emily’s room to sort out her personal belongings.They first took the jewelry on Emily’s dresser and put them into a leather case.After that, they went into Emily’s closet to continue sorting stuff out. They placed all of Emily’s clothes, some accessories, and her shoes into the leather case.“What is this? Ms. Xyla, come and have a look, quickly…” A female servant suddenly called out.Xyla happened to be holding a few items of clothing and

Xyla Quest immediately walked over to the injured female servant as quickly as she could. She half-kneeled on the ground and checked the woman’s right wrist.There was a very thin silver needle in the female servant’s wrist. Only half of the needle had pierced her flesh, and the remaining half was still exposed.The skin where the servant was stabbed had already turned black.Clearly, the needle contained poison…When the other servants saw this, they immediately gathered around. Each of them was shocked.Xyla then looked at the box the servant mentioned.It was a huge square box with a Country Z design of flower carvings on it. There was a combination lock on the box.Clearly, there was a mechanism on the box, and this servant had accidentally activated it. That was why the silver needle hurt her.Pfft—The next second, the female servant who was jabbed by the needle fell directly to the ground. She was bleeding from all seven of her orifices and had passed out.When Xyla sa

“Everyone, leave for now… Don’t touch anything inside this room. Leave it all to me,” Xyla Quest said.The servants were more than happy to hear this. As soon as they heard what Xyla said, they all ran outside.Once everyone had left, Xyla shifted her gaze back to the box in the drawer.Upon taking a closer look, she discovered a piece of red paper beneath the box.She knew there would be secrets regardless of whether it was the box before her eyes or the paper beneath the box.If something terrifying wasn’t hidden inside, Emily Quest definitely wouldn’t have used a box that contained such a mechanism.Although Xyla badly wanted to know what was inside, she didn’t dare to just touch it.Xyla could only suppress her curiosity and carefully push the drawer back inside.She’d have to look for someone professional to solve this mystery.Otherwise, she would end up like the female servant earlier.From the odd symbols on the wall to the strange box in front of her, Xyla realized m

Xyla Quest tried unlocking it with Emily Quest’s birth date, but it didn’t work at all.In the end, she tried using May Conner, Jeremy Quest, and Tom Sullivan’s birth dates.The first two attempts didn’t work, but Tom’s birth date successfully unlocked the box.Inside the box was a massive number of glass bottles with transparent liquid inside.The bottles were shaped like experimental test tubes, but the length was only half that of small-sized test tubes.There were also strange symbols on the bottle that Xyla had seen before.Xyla seriously had no idea what these were.Hence, she quickly put the stuff aside and continued to look through Emily’s closet.After that, Xyla didn’t discover anything suspicious.She then returned to Emily’s room to continue searching for anything suspicious.Likewise, she found nothing.After that, Xyla quickly made her way into May Conner’s room.The first thing she did was to open the drawers to May’s dressing table…In the top-most drawer o

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 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. Sensing her trembling body, Leon tightened his e

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. Raymond Gray, dressed in black, sporty attire, led all of them in a flamboyant manner.

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

Hannah Roland smiled politely at Lina Cohen. “Nice to meet you… Thank you in advance!”“No problem… Do let me know if there’s anything you don’t like about your makeup too,” Lina said.Hannah nodded. “Okay, sure…”“By the way… Do all the signers here get such good treatment? 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.
