After making each important point, Xyla Quest would pause and ask if there was anything Stanley Batton did not understand.Stanley would always say no.Soon, midnight came without them realizing it.Xyla was nearly done with explaining the basics of checking a patient’s pulse.After looking down at her watch, Xyla turned to face Stanley.Right then, he was paying full attention to her. If she were not careful, she might even get lost in those captivating dark eyes.After a second of zoning out, Xyla recollected herself.“I have already explained the most basic stuff. Did you understand all of it?” Xyla asked.“Yeah,” Stanley answered pleasantly.“Really?” Xyla still felt suspicious.If that were true, Stanley would be a genius at Chinese medicine. He was probably one in a million.Nobody in the realm of Chinese medicine could possibly have more talent than him.“Yeah,” Stanley answered.“You… Are you sure?” Xyla seemed doubtful.“Yeah,” he said.“If that’s the case, why don’t you check

Stanley Batton had given Xyla Quest the perfect answer yet again.“Tell me the truth. Have you really not such prior knowledge?” Xyla seemed very doubtful.“Yes,” Stanley answered.“You are way too smart. Although I think of myself as a genius, I am far slower than you when it comes to learning,” Xyla said.“I’m alright,” Stanley said calmly as usual. The look in his eyes had not changed at all.“Stop being so modest. You’re not just alright. You are amazing,” Xyla could not resist giving him the thumbs up.“Oh,” Stanley said.“It’s getting late. We’ll stop here for today. Tomorrow… Oh, no. It’s already past twelve. Therefore, it’s a new day. Can we continue tonight?” Xyla asked.“Sure,” Stanley said before standing up slowly and picking up his black windbreaker coat.He covered her body with the coat and even fastened one of the buttons.“What are you doing?” Xyla asked.“It’s snowing outside. It’ll be cold,” Stanley said before walking out of the room.When Xyla looked at Stanley fro

Stanley Batton quickly walked to his car.As soon as he entered, a cold breeze blew into the car.Zack Cassidy, who had fallen asleep in the driver’s seat, slowly opened his eyes.Quickly, Zack pushed his golden-framed glasses up his nose-bridge. After checking the time, he glanced at the rearview mirror to look at the aristocratic man in the backseat.“Fifth Master, has the young madam been teaching you about Chinese medicine the whole time?” Zack asked with a look of disbelief.“Yeah,” Stanley answered.“And you sat there like a good boy and listened to her the entire time?” Zack was beginning to wonder if he was in a dream.Zack found it hard to picture Fifth Master sitting next to his wife like a studious child.When did he become this obedient?“Do you have a problem with that?” Stanley asked as he raised his brows and looked at Zack’s face through the rearview mirror.Zack immediately felt a chill down his spine.“No. I wouldn’t dare. I was just curious. What did the young madam

“Look for a place of around sixty to seventy square meters, and one at a lower price. It should preferably be away from central areas. A second-hand house works too,” Stanley Batton said.“Fifth Master, don’t you only purchase property in the golden zones?” Zack Cassidy felt that he no longer knew Fifth Master as well as he did before.“Yeah,” Stanley uttered.“I’ll get it done tomorrow,” Zack said.“Buy the house within a day and throw all the furniture away. I want them to be replaced with new ones, but they can’t be from well-known brands,” Stanley added.“Yes, Fifth Master,” Zack said.“Make sure you disinfect the place inside and out for at least three times,” Stanley said.“Got it. Fifth Master, are you going to stay there?” Zack asked.“…” Stanley remained silent as he lit a cigarette and looked out at the city’s busy view at night.The smoke surrounding his fingers made them appear much longer and more elegant.***After Xyla Quest arrived home, she first walked out onto her ba

It seemed like Jeremy Quest was serious about getting a divorce despite how badly it hurt him.Xyla Quest did not react to it as she continued to hold Jeremy’s arm as they walked out the door.After the snow from the night before, the courtyard was completely white.The servants and bodyguards were occupied with clearing the snow.After Xyla and her father greeted everyone, they proceeded to run out of the courtyard and continued along the pedestrian lane.By then, most of the snow in the middle of the road had already melted away. However, the snow on both sides of the road had not completely melted yet, and sanitation workers were busy shoveling them aside.Although the weather was cold, neither of them felt cold because they were exercising.After running along the asphalt road for a few kilometers outside their house, the two leaned against a wilted cherry blossom tree to rest.With their backs facing each other, they panted heavily. Their clothes were soaked all the way through.“

To people like them who lived a pampered life of luxury, the art of embroidery was completely unfamiliar territory. They had never held a needle at home. If something was damaged, they would just throw it out, so there was no use for needles. Needles punctured their fingers, and it was frightening to look at. Out of carelessness, the needle on Emily’s right hand once again pricked her left index finger. As the stinging pain spread, the last of her patience was gone. She immediately threw the embroidery frame onto the ground, wailing and yelling, “Are we living in ancient times right now? “To think handmade embroidery still exists! How would I know how to do it?! Is this torture? I’m a pregnant woman. What merits do they have for torturing me to death? “Why did the others get so little handkerchiefs while we get so many? Did that sh*tty Xyla Quest bribe someone? “Is Father really going to ignore this? And Brother Sullivan, why is he ignoring me? I’m pregnant with the Sulliva

May was seething. She turned to look at the bald inmate who had hit her. “What are you doing?” “I’m hitting you, what else? You’re imprisoned here, but you’re still thinking of bullying others once you get out. You’re obviously a vile person.” May wanted to retort, ‘Are you any better?’ However, she managed to endure it as she turned away quietly to continue with her work. “I’ve heard about you two. One is Xyla Quest’s wretched stepmother; the other is her wretched half-sister. “News about your family issues have even made it to us. Everyone says that both of you are the mastermind behind the rumor of Imperial Prime having defects. “Bunch of dogsh*ts, not only are you unwilling to repent, but you’re even trying to harm others!” As she spoke, the bald inmate rolled up her sleeve and stood up, glaring ferociously at the mother-daughter pair as if she wanted to kill them. “Why do you care about our family issues? Are you perhaps acquainted with Xyla Quest?” Emily felt her

Emily nodded. “I think so. I can’t move it!” “Get to work! You have to work even if your bones break!” the bald inmate spoke coldly again. She despised people who bullied the weak. Once upon a time, she was forcefully taken by her factory manager again and again because she was weak. To keep her job, she stayed quiet the whole time. And because she was easy to bully, the man got worse and even forcefully took her in front of her own daughter. Her daughter went up to hit the man, but he pushed the child away. The child’s head hit the door handle, and she ended up dying on the spot. Because of this, she could not resist killing that son of a b*tch. She hated trash who liked to bully others! “Hurry up!!!” the bald inmate roared again. Having just suffered damage, Emily dared not fight back. She obediently returned to her seat. She had just sat down when she felt something stab deeply into her right butt cheek. The severe pain immediately made her turn pale! “Ahh!!” S

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

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. 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.
