The makeup artist placed a veil over Xyla Quest's head after she had changed into her main wedding dress.The veil also had eight-carat diamonds engraved on it, making the entire outfit feel so heavy she felt the need to expel a lot of energy to wear it.Despite the weight, the ensemble made Xyla look distinct and luminous.The other woman couldnโt resist gasping as she placed a mirror in front of the bride once the look was complete.โWhat do you think?โHer reflection was radiant and exquisite, like a flower in full bloom.Xyla nodded, not minding the extra weight of her outfit as long as she looked pretty.On this day, the only thing that mattered was that she looked good.Upon seeing the look of satisfaction on her face, the makeup artist carefully lowered the veil before assisting her back to the passenger seat.Stanley Batton felt as if his soul was shaking when he saw his bride's brand-new look.She was gorgeous.Nobody in the world looked better than her.Even the p

It was the first time they came to a venue with so many people, so naturally, the twins were excited as their small, dark eyes darted around.Everything seemed new and exciting to them.Apart from the helicopters, Lynette Batton and Leon Batton were at the center of attention, with numerous guests making funny faces to entertain them.Some even took photos of them with their phones.To their amusement, the children were cooperative, too, smiling at everyone they saw and melting people's hearts while they were at it.The wedding march soon began while everyone watched.Xyla Quest and Stanley Battonโs helicopter gradually landed on the deck as their wedding song played.The groom disembarked first, holding the cabin door open for his bride as he helped her out as a perfect gentleman. With everyone watching in anticipation, Xyla held his hand and walked onto the red carpet one step at a time, heading toward the priest.With the warm sunlight shining over them, the diamonds she w

Everyone clapped in excitement for a prolonged period, only dying down when the priest smiled at Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton. โI now pronounce you husband and wife. You may exchange your symbols of love.โStanley retrieved two ring boxes from his pocket before handing one to Xyla while holding the other in his hand.Then, they simultaneously opened their ring boxes.The bride held a modest masculine ring with a three-carat diamond, while the groom had a lavish and sizeably feminine crown-shaped diamond ring in his hand.Together, the couple exchanged rings moments before the priest announced, โMr, Batton, you may now kiss your bride.โAt his words, Stanley directly lifted Xylaโs veil and pulled her into his arms to claim her lips, their eyes filling up with tears while everyone watched.At that moment, their lives couldn't be more perfect.They had no regrets left.Thunderous applause erupted again while Sharon Lindt and the others couldnโt help but feel emotional at the sigh

โThank you for entering my life and letting me feel how itโs like to be pampered and loved.โIn the past, Iโd always complain about how life was unfair. Since we met, I have realized that life has been very good to me.โLife wasnโt being unfair. It simply kept the best for last. In this case, thatโs you.โMeeting you at the right time is the best thing that ever happened to me.โStanley, letโs stay together forever,โ Xyla Quest said.Stanley Battonโs eyes turned even redder, smiling and nodding as he pulled his wife into his arms and kissed her thoroughly.People applauded and cried.โI never knew Stanley was this good at delivering speeches,โ Sebastian Brenand stated.โMe neither. I never knew he had it in him,โ Henry Armstrong said.โThat was probably the most Stanley has ever said in his life,โ Gary Lakes spoke up with a chuckle.โItโs very touching," Rachel Wood sighed dreamily. "I feel so envious.โHenry smiled when he saw the glimmer in her eyes, a plan starting to for

Xyla Quest closed Weibo after a brief perusal over the comments, plagued with sudden thoughts of Sophie Kenwick.A while ago, Sophie had mentioned being unwell and needing to retreat to a quiet place for some time.Sophie would only respond with short replies before ending their conversation whenever she'd contacted her.She hadnโt even committed to attending Xyla and Stanleyโs wedding.Xyla felt increasingly worried about her condition and attempted to contact her before the wedding, but she wasn't successful.She tried calling again at the thought, but her call went unanswered.Her good mood quickly faded as she frowned deeply.Stanley took notice of her mood change. โWhatโs the matter?โโNothing. I just thought of Sophie," she replied with a frown. "I wanted to check on her.โI told her about our wedding long ago, but she didnโt even show up. I think thereโs something unusual about this,โ she added.His eyebrows creased at her words. He had also been trying to contact Soph

โXyla Quest, the billion-dollar bride#โ even claimed the number one spot on all lists of hot topics in Country Z, receiving the most attention on Weibo.People were practically going mad as they discussed the topic.Xyla and Stanley Batton slept until eight oโclock in the evening before their eyes finally opened in pitch-black darkness.He carefully let go of Xyla to turn on the lights, its sudden brightness making her narrow her eyes.Frowning slightly, she murmured and clung onto her husband like an octopus, appearing to be in a daze due to lack of sleep.Seeing her clinging onto him like a kitten made his heart melt.He changed his posture and hugged her tightly, pressing a gentle kiss on her forehead.โHoney, do you want to get up? We should eat something,โ he said softly.They hadnโt eaten much since the wedding as they had to entertain guests the entire time during the ceremony.She pressed closer to him again. โOkay, but I donโt know what to eat.โโWhat would you like?

Xyla Quest nodded, finding herself in a much better mood now that she'd received news about Sophie Kenwick.She slowly got out of bed and pulled Stanley Batton into the bathroom for a shower.Then, he changed clothes and waited for Xyla, who took her time in the bathroom before changing into a white, laced skirt.Since the weather here was much warmer than in Country Z, wearing skirts seemed more appropriate.She stood in front of the mirror to put on some simple makeup, starting with applying a single layer of moisturizer on her face, followed by foundation.Her eyebrows were naturally dark, while her lips were naturally red, so she didn't bother with them to save time.Her face seemed pretty enough.After casually drying her hair, the couple held hands and walked out the door into the night. The stars seemed plentiful and bright at their deserted location away from the city, creating a peaceful environment.Under the sky full of stars, they strolled hand-in-hand along a roa

Xyla Quest lost all her good habits ever since she got together with Stanley Batton because he would handle everything for her under any circumstances and at any time.She never had to worry about these things.She felt she could do anything before he came into her life, but now, she had lost the ability to do anything except for making money.Sheโd come to depend on him in their daily lives, constantly waiting for him to prepare everything for her.This kind of dependency gave her a sense of security, and she'd become addicted to it.Presently, Stanley led her into a western restaurant on a cruise ship, strolling through a brightly lit deck.Red roses decorated its path, making it seem like a garden in her dreams.A gentle breeze blew against her face, carrying the fragrant scent of roses, making her feel at ease.The deck was devoid of people, and even the dining tables were empty, making it appear unusually spacious.โThis is wonderful," Xyla said happily as she peered arou

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.

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.

Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasnโt about to be silent anytime soon.

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.

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.
