The darkness in the large balcony was dispelled by brightness. An enormous astronomical telescope appeared in front of her. Stanley Batton marched toward the telescope and carefully put Xyla Quest down beside it. He then lowered his head to adjust the telescope. When he found the star he bought for Xyla, he quickly zoomed in and focused on the star. Without further ado, he pulled Xyla to the telescope and pointed at the eyepiece excitedly. “Look. This is your star.”Xyla immediately peeped into the eyepiece. In the very next second, Xyla Star came into her sight. The magnified star, which belonged to her, was shining dazzlingly in the galaxy. Xyla was amazed. Never in her life had she imagined that she would own a star in the vast universe. She could hardly contain her happiness at this moment. Her face lit up with glee. “So? Can you see it?” Stanley asked with a glint of anticipation in his eyes. Xyla nodded delightedly, her soft lips subconsciously curling upward

“Detective Ritzer found that Emily’s brain was in a state of hypnosis. He speculated that Emily committed suicide under hypnosis. “Besides, he said that Emily had consumed the Soul Devouring Potion before. The toxin left behind by the potion can greatly enhance the effectiveness of hypnosis. Hence, it’s really easy to ‘control’ Emily and instruct her to commit suicide if the master wants.”The seriousness in Stanley Batton’s tone was only amplified with each word he spoke. Xyla Quest was not surprised to find out about that. She knew how powerful the Soul Devouring Potion and hypnosis were. “The coroner must’ve stopped investigating after confirming that Emily has indeed died of suicide.”Stanley continued, “Well, there are still a lot of possibilities other than this reason. The master might have bribed the coroner.”“There must be a spy in jail, helping him to keep an eye on May, Emily, and the police. Otherwise, it’s impossible for him to carry out all these things in jai

She had put on her favorite peach blossom makeup, especially for the grand event tonight. There was a tiny peach blossom on her right cheekbone, refined yet alluring. She had also put on some highlighter on her collarbone, making it look exceptionally sexy and eye-catching. Immediately afterward, she pulled her black wavy long hair into a delicate high bun. After settling her makeup and hairstyle, she hurried off to her enormous dressing room to look for her custom-made Dior gown. She pushed the hanger aside and carefully put on the sleeveless nude gauze nightgown. Xyla Quest had turned into a little fairy the moment she put on the gown. From sketching to stitching, Stanley Batton had been keeping a close watch over the gown’s manufacturing. Xyla was really surprised by Stanley’s good taste. The color was refreshing yet elegant. The design was simple yet imposing. It was the best gown for early summer. Xyla had picked a diamond crown, her favorite pair of teardrop diamon

The cruise ship was well-lit. It looked like a night pearl shimmering in the ocean as they viewed it from the sky. There were many people on the deck of the cruise ship.In addition to Dragon Group’s top executives from all over the world, there were also some famous stars from the entertainment industry and some dignitaries from the political circle. The descending helicopter had caught everyone’s attention.Almost all eyes fell upon it. “That’s our president and his wife, right?”“I’ve seen pictures of the young mistress before. She’s gorgeous!”“Well, well. I bet all the bachelors are going to go crazy later.”Very soon, the helicopter landed on the deck under the crowd’s attention. Everyone could not take their eyes off the helicopter.

All of them were dressed up in exquisite suits and gowns. There were towers of pastry, champagne, and wine at each corner of the hall. What was more striking was the white nineteen-layer cake in the middle of the banquet hall. Each layer of the cake was decorated with beautiful white swans. The enormous cake was incredibly magnificent. The party was just like the king's feast described in the fairy tales. It took Xyla Quest quite some time to find Wilson Batton and Sharon Lindt among the crowd. Josh Batton was standing right behind them. They were busy toasting and chatting with the guests. Josh and Wilson were much quieter compared to Sharon Lindt, who had been talking non-stop. Sharon told Xyla before that Josh would be the host for the party tonight. Maybe time stopped when Xyla and Stanley entered the hall. Everyone was frozen to their spots, their lips parted, and their eyes fixed upon them. They subconsciously moved sideways and formed a path for the pair. The

A girl was standing right in front of Xyla Quest. Her long black hair was styled into two low braids. There was a tiny daisy hairpin above her right ear, matching well with her Korean bangs. She was wearing a snow-white nightgown with a pair of silver ballet flats. Joy was written all over her mixed-race face. Her pair of black watery eyes were sparkling with delight. She was Daisy Cox. She was the girl Xyla met at Kingstell International Exhibition Hall a few days ago. She looked radiant today. Her anxiety and panic that day had completely vanished. There were two delicate dimples near the corners of her mouth as she smiled.Her eyes were clean and clear. Her face was young and youthful. She looked very much like a gentle, adorable little princess. Though her dimples were not alcohol, Xyla felt like she was getting drunk by looking at it. “It’s me, Miss.” Daisy smiled. “I totally didn’t expect to see you here. How’s that young man? Is he okay now?” Xyla asked concer

“No one knows about this person’s background, and no one knows where this person came up with such a large amount of start-up capital.“No one could find out anything about this person’s past before he became popular… He’s like a person who appeared out of thin air.“Currently, Dragon Group collaborates with HM on many projects…” Stanley Batton said each word with a serious expression.Behind Stanley, Gary Lakes, Sebastian Brenand, and Henry Armstrong just listened quietly without interrupting.“Is he that mysterious?” Xyla Quest asked.“Well, the next president of Country T will very likely be him. Currently, he has a high support rate in Country T,” Stanley said.“He looks pretty young. How old is he?” Xyla became increasingly curious about this man.“He’s twenty-five…” Stanley said.“Only twenty-five and he’s already achieved so much. This person will have a bright future,” Xylac complimented.“I did a lot better than him when I was twenty-five…” Stanley added.His words m

“Someone bribed my driver to put poison in the drinks I keep in my car’s fridge,” Tyler Terrell said.“In that case, you’ll have to be more careful about who you hire in the future,” Xyla Quest said.Tyler once again smiled devilishly. “Yes, thank you for your concern, beautiful lady. If you come to Country T in the future, remember to look for me. Your husband has my contact details. You can get it from him.“Or, if you’d like to do something in Country T, I could help out too… I have contacts in both the political and business realms, and I can make sure you get to do whatever you want in Country T,” Tyler said.“If my wife wants to do anything, naturally, she can just look for me. So, I don’t think we need to bother you,” Stanley looked at Tyler and said dominantly.His extremely possessive behavior made Xyla’s heart feel instantly warmed.Tyler laughed. “That darned possessiveness… What’s the matter? Are you afraid I’m going to steal your wife?”“You don’t have what it takes

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
