After fooling around in the study for god knows how long, Stanley Batton reluctantly let go of Xyla Quest and carried her back to the master bedroom to take a shower together.After the shower, Xyla sat in front of the dressing table to put on her skincare products.Stanley, on the other hand, was sitting on the bed and looking at his phone.Stanley had nothing on except a white towel wrapped around his lower body.His perfect muscle lines were visible under the light.Xyla, on the other hand, was wearing a white, silk, high-cut nightgown with straps.Her hair naturally fell over her waist. Although she didn’t have any makeup, she still looked pretty as a fairy on earth.The duo’s delicate, cold, fair skin was covered with various splotches of red marks.Everything was a manifestation of how wild they were earlier.“Were you treated poorly at the bank today? Hmm?” Stanley was looking at a trending topic on Weibo about Xyla at the bank. His handsome face suddenly turned cold.

Xyla Quest instantly felt a sense of warmth spread in her heart. “Thank you, honey…” She said.“You’re welcome, darling. Whatever it is you want, I’ll make sure you have it…” Once again, Stanley Batton hugged Xyla tightly. He rubbed his distinctly shaped lips against her earlobe.This sentence made Xyla feel weak in the bones. At that moment, she felt as if her skin had been zapped by electricity and set on fire.Even her heart started to beat out of tempo.“Honey, meeting you is the luckiest thing that ever happened to me,” Xyla said.“Isn’t meeting you the luckiest thing that happened to me, too? Xyla Quest, I used to be impenetrable. This all changed when I met you. I’m willing to give you all my love in this lifetime, and I’ll be with you until the day we die,” Stanley enunciated each word as he looked deeply into her eyes.When Xyla heard all this, her eyes started to fill with tears.“Honey, you’re wonderful. I love you very much,” Xyla said.“I love you too, darling,” St

Zack Cassidy reported the information earnestly.Xyla Quest’s facial expression became increasingly somber.It looked like May Conner really was killed by that ‘master’.This ‘master’ really was omnipotently powerful. He could actually kill someone in prison with such ease.Stanley Batton had an equally somber expression on his face. “Go on…”“Detective Ritzer even said that Chimi Poison also originated from Memphis’ King of Poison, Sorax. Also, he added that Chimi Poison, Soul Devouring Potion, and Black Poison were all Sorax’s proud creations. Moreover, Sorax would never share it with outsiders. In fact, they had all nearly disappeared from the world,” Zack added.The word ‘Sorax’ made Xyla and Stanley’s hearts skip a beat.Up until now, the poisons used by that ‘master’ were all related to Sorax, who had already passed away long ago.Most importantly, these poisons were all invented by Sorax and were supposed to be kept a secret from outsiders. These poisons had also nearly

Meanwhile, Xyla Quest slowly sat down in front of the dressing table.She put on some light and natural-looking makeup that she usually preferred.At one glance, it seemed like she didn’t have any makeup on, but she still looked fresh.Xyla’s lips were naturally pinkish. For her makeup to appear even lighter, she didn’t put any lipstick on. Instead, she only applied a layer of colorless lip balm.Her perfectly defined lips, with a glossy finish, looked as sumptuous as fresh peach jelly.After pulling her hair back into a high ponytail and putting on a light pink hairband, Xyla went into the closet. She chose a pale pink, ruffled, strapless top, white denim shorts, and a pair of light pink high heels.Xyla walked up to the mirror with inlaid gold and diamonds. Her appearance was reflected in the mirror.The light pink looked good all in all and made Xyla seem gentle but not old-fashioned. It also made her skin appear unusually fair and delicate.In the mirror, she looked practic

Xyla Quest couldn’t be bothered to argue with Mary Sullivan. She calmly stepped into the company.Throughout the entire process, Xyla didn’t even look at Mary again.Her behavior made Mary even angrier.Mary instantly ran after Xyla. “Xyla Quest… Are you looking down on me right now? Don’t think you’re so great just because you got married to Stanley Batton. That doesn’t mean you can look down on others. I’m telling you, I will definitely get into this company and became a celebrity,” Mary uttered sourly.Ding—The doors to a private elevator opened.As soon as Sebastian Brenand walked out of the elevator, he saw Mary pestering Xyla. He also heard what Mary said.He immediately sauntered up to Mary. “Allow me to introduce myself. I’m the boss of King Entertainment, and I’m also Stanley Batton’s good friend. Due to your rudeness to Xyla, I hereby announce that King Entertainment will not accept you.“You said… Getting married to Stanley isn’t a big deal, didn’t you? I’m sorry bu

Mary Sullivan then looked in the car mirror at her face that had thick makeup on. “If this place won’t have me, some other place would!” she murmured to herself.Although Mary knew she had a terrible past, she believed that becoming an artist wasn’t a problem at all with her conditions.She believed that there would be a company that wanted her.These days, her father was still angry with her, and he barely gave her any money. She basically depended on funds her mother secretly gave her for her expenses.To avoid being discovered by her father, her mother didn’t dare to give her too much money.The amount Mary was given was barely enough for her to feed herself.She needed to make money of her own, and entering the entertainment industry was the fastest way to make money…***When Xyla Quest entered Sebastian Brenand’s office, Sebastian led her to a seat in front of the coffee table.The two sat facing each other.On the coffee table was a professional brewing kit.Sebastian

Dave Wilkins, who was currently a popular male singer in the country, was good at both singing and dancing.Not only did he sing, but he also acted. In the musical industry, he was a renowned vocalist. In the TV and film industry, he was a film star.These qualities made him very compatible with Mel Conlay.Most importantly, Dave also had the will to participate in variety shows to increase his popularity.“Dave Wilkins…? He’s pretty good… Not only is he handsome, but he’s also very compatible with Mel…” Sebastian Brenand said.“When the time comes, we’ll name them as the Mel-Dave Couple. See… It sounds good,” Sebastian added. Xyla Quest laughed a little. “It does sound good.”When Xyla thought about all the work she still needed to deal with later, she slowly stood up. “I have to get back to work. A lot of stuff has piled up, and I need to deal with them,” she said.“Alright,” Sebastian said.After Xyla left, the huge office became quiet once again.Sebastian’s smile disapp

“Silly girl, why are you being so courteous with me?” Stanley Batton sounded full of affection.Xyla Quest started smiling again.“Let’s eat out tonight… I’ve already booked a place. I’ll send it to you on WeChat later,” Stanley said.“Hmm, what are we eating?” Xyla asked.“Your favorite. Crabs,” Stanley said.“Okay,” Xyla replied.“Let’s bring Dad along,” Stanley added.“Dad hasn’t had a nice meal recently. Let’s take him to a nice place tonight,” he said.Xyla felt a sense of warmth in her heart again.This was the man she loved. Not only did he love her deeply, but he also loved her family deeply.Each time, Stanley would be more considerate than Xyla.“Okay…” Xyla said.After chatting with Stanley for a while, Xyla hung up the phone.As soon as she hung up, Stanley sent the restaurant’s location to her.It was a high-end crab restaurant in the city center, and it was called Crab Delight.Xyla replied with an ‘OK’ emoticon. After that, she shifted her gaze back to the

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.
