Talking about this made everyone feel even worseโฆSuddenly, everyone couldnโt find the words to express their jealousy.Meanwhile, on the other side, Tom Sullivanโs ashes had already been buried in the Sullivan familyโs burial plot.Tom had disappeared from this world.After walking into her office, Xyla Quest saw the news that Tom had been buriedโฆShe briefly glanced at it.After that, she summoned staff from each department in the company to gather for a meeting at the conference roomโฆ***Xyla left work early because she had to accompany Jeremy Quest for dinnerโฆIt was freezing outside.It hadnโt stopped snowing all day.Every sanitation worker in Atlantis was kept occupied.After work, Xyla went to the supermarket to buy some ingredients for the hot pot.Xyla then gave Stanley Batton a call to tell him that she returned to her fatherโs house for dinner.After making the call, Xyla carried the stuff she had purchased to the Quest familyโs house.The indoors were kept

From the smell, Xyla Quest guessed that it was probably herbal chicken soup or the likes of it.Betty Starmount helped Xyla move the stuff onto the floor before holding Xylaโs hand and leading her to the pot. โI made herbal chicken soup just for you. Have a tasteโฆโโItโs greatโฆโ Betty added.โThereโs something special added to it. You ought to drink more of it.โ Betty thought to herself.Xyla chuckled. โOkayโฆ Sure.โโMs. Questโฆ I mean, Xylaโฆ Itโs tough being pregnant, isnโt it?โ Betty asked.โNot too bad. I havenโt had any symptoms lately. Iโve been able to eat, sleep, and drink wellโฆโ Xyla said truthfully.When Betty heard this, she secretly clenched her fists tightly. โI seeโฆ Have you felt uncomfortable in any way? I heard that many pregnant women feel uncomfortable during this periodโฆโXyla shook her head. โI did feel uncomfortable in the beginning, but itโs gone away completely now. Not only that, I feel just as healthy as I was before I was pregnant. My appetite has gotten

One of the familyโs maids stood outside the door, her face covered in bloodโฆUpon taking a closer look, Xyla Quest could see that her right eye was injured.The maid kept her right eye closed tightly.Blood continued to flow from the corner of her right eye. It was a horrifying sightโฆMeanwhile, the maidโs other eye was filled with a look of horror.It seemed as if she had just experienced something terrifying.Xyla quickly opened the door.โWhat on earth happened to you?โ Xyla asked as she looked worriedly at the maid.The maid pointed at the garden behind her while she panted. โIโฆ I was sweeping snow off the cobblestone walkway in the garden. Then, suddenly, something came out from the bushโฆโTortured by the intense pain, the maid was trembling all over.Her voice was very soft too.There was a thick layer of cold sweat on her forehead.She looked like a flower that could fall off a cliff at any moment.โAfter that, it crawled onto my face and scratched my right eyeโฆ Aft

Why would there be a wild animal in their compound?Could it have been a neighborโs cat?Xyla Quest had never heard about such a ferocious cat nearbyโฆApproximately half an hour later, the municipal hospitalโs deputy director, Stephen Harris, walked out of the emergency unitโฆHe pulled his face mask down to his chin.After that, he walked up to Xyla and Stanley Batton.Xyla immediately looked up at him. โHow is she? Was her eye injured?โโDid you say that this person told you several things before coming to the hospital?โ Stephen asked.Xyla noddedโฆโShe really is a werewolfโฆโ Stephen said.โWhat do you mean?โ Xyla asked.โHer right eyeball was severely damaged. If you hadnโt brought her here in time, she wouldโve basically lost her eyeโฆโUnder those circumstances, she was still able to talk to you for so long. Donโt you think sheโs a werewolf?โ Stephen said softlyโฆStephenโs words gave Xyla the creepsโฆIndeed, just thinking about it made one feel the pain.โIs she fine

โOh, right. Give her a VIP ward. Itโll be more comfortable for her,โ Xyla Quest said.โSureโฆ You really are nice to your subordinatesโฆโ Stephan Harris remarked.There werenโt many kind and beautiful ladies like Xyla anymoreโฆโAs I should be. Itโs not easy for them to work out here. Since they work in our house, theyโre part of the family tooโฆ Naturally, I need to be nice to them,โ Xyla said.โHow wonderfulโฆโ Stephen praised.Approximately half an hour later, the injured maid was brought out.The wound on her right eye had already been tended to.There was a thick layer of white bandage over it.She was still unconscious.There was an anti-inflammatory drip attached to the back of her hand.Xyla and Stanley Batton watched the medical staff bring her to the ward.After that, Xyla requested for two nurses to look after the maid around the clock.Only then did Xyla and Stanley leave the hospital together.When they walked out of the building, the sky was gloomy, and it was sno

Right then, Jeremy Quest and Betty Starmount were sitting together and watching the television.There was a huge plate of fruits in front of them, but neither touched any of it.When Betty saw Xyla Quest walking in, she quickly approached Xyla. โHow did it go?โ Betty asked worriedly.โSheโs fine now. The doctor said sheโll just have to be observed and receive treatment for a while. After that, sheโll be able to recover,โ Xyla said.โHer eyeball was scratchedโฆ Itโs pretty bad,โ Xyla added.Betty felt chills down her spine when she heard this. โOh my godโฆ Thatโs truly scary,โ she said.Although she appeared terrified, she was very calm on the inside.She didnโt think this was a big deal at all.The woman was only a maid. So, what if she died?โHow did she get scratched?โ Jeremy also walked up to Xyla. He naturally wrapped his arm around Bettyโs waistโฆโWe donโt know what it is. Thereโs fur beneath her eye. Iโll go to an expert to get it verifiedโฆโ Xyla said.โOkayโฆ Iโve looked

When Xyla Quest heard the doorbell ringing, she immediately became tense.This was because of what happened to the maid earlier.When she heard the doorbell ringing, she felt a little afraidโฆShe was afraid that somebody else might have gotten injured.Xyla immediately took a deep breath. After that, she walked over to the door and looked through the door viewerโฆShe could see a bodyguard standing in front of the door with a serious expression on his face.Thankfully, his face was unharmed.Xyla instantly let out a long sigh. She then opened the doorโฆโMiss Xyla, I found this while I was patrolling in the garden earlierโฆโThe bodyguard carefully placed a large ball of white fur in Xylaโs handโฆIt was the size of a whole cotton ball.The fur looked exactly like the one Stephen gave her previously.The white ball of fur was very soft and fluffy. Under the lights, it shone gorgeously.Xyla couldnโt quite tell what kind of fur it was when there were only a few of them.Now th

Once everything was wrapped up, Xyla Quest walked into the bathroom and washed her hands again.Finally, she returned to the dining room.In the dining room, Stanley Batton, Jeremy Quest, and Betty Starmount were enjoying the hot pot.There were many cooked fish slices and peeled prawns on Xylaโs plate.Her dipping sauce had also been prepared.It was her favorite flavor.Xyla knew that Stanley Batton had done all this.Suddenly, she felt warmth spread in her heart.Xyla slowly sat next to Stanley. She picked up a slice of fish with her fork, dipped it in the sauce, and carefully took a bite.The fish slice tasted fresh and juicy.Flavors exploded in her mouth after she took a bite.Xyla liked it a lot.After eating the fish slice, Xyla began to speak. โA bodyguard discovered a huge ball of white animal fur outside earlierโฆ It feels like fox furโฆโโWhere is it? Fox fur? How is that possible? Why would there be a fox within the compound?โ Jeremy seemed shocked.Xyla shook

Xyla quickly reached for Hannahโs hand. โIs that right? Hannah, youโre amazingโฆ! Youโre practically on par with Leon!โHannah laughed, slightly embarrassed. โNot at all.โโOh, cut it out. If you hadnโt helped me, how could I have improved so quickly?โ Leon chuckled.โI guess Iโve lived up to my promise.โ 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. โYes, Hannahโs very capable. Sheโs our family pride.โHannah laughed. โI was lucky to be accepted by your family.โIn 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

โHannah, Iโve taken the first step for you. Are you willing to walk by my side for the rest of our lives?โ Leon asked, serious.โYes, I amโฆโ Hannah answered without missing a beat.โIโll protect you. From now on, you donโt have to worry about a single thing.โ With that, Leon placed both hands on Hannahโs face and kissed her on the lips.The moment their lips touched, everything felt surrealโฆHannah could feel pink, light bubbles floating all around her. It felt as if all the flowers in the world were blossoming at once.In Hannahโs 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 nowโฆ 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, Leonโs 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, Hannahโs 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 wasnโt a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfoundedโฆThis meant Leon actually liked her! He was confessing to her, wasnโt 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 couldnโt 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 Raymondโs head.Raymond panicked instantly, going pale.He subconsciously retreated a step back. โWho are you? Donโt you know what youโre doing is illegal?โLeon sneered. โYou donโt deserve to know my name. In this city, I am the law.โLeonโs 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.โMr. Batton, do I shoot him in the head?โ One of the men dressed in black asked.โMr. Batton? Are you Stanley Battonโs son?!โ 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.โHow dare you address our president by name?!โ Another man in black leveled Raymond with a chilling glare.Suffice to say, Raymond was terrif

Terrible pain ached at every part of Hannahโs 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, โMr. Grayโฆ What is the meaning of this?โ โWhatโs the meaning of this? Ha! Donโt you know whatโs good for you?

Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasnโt about to be silent anytime soon. Hannah felt deeply unsettled, so much that she didnโt 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 Grayโฆ 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 didnโt 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. โMs. 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 todayโฆโโHe lost his temper and claimed heโd destroy our bar if Hannah refuses to sing another songโฆโ 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 werenโt 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 didnโt respect women at allโฆ 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 without saying anything.***Hannah arrived at the bar where she worked at seven oโclock the next evening and walked into Rihanna Jensenโs office.Rihanna was going through paperwork in her office. When she saw Hannah, she immediately stood up and smiled at her. โHannah, youโre hereโฆโโHereโs the contractโฆโ Rihanna said before pushing a thick stack of paper to the center of the table.Hannah quickly stepped forward and skimmed through the document.
