โIf so, Iโll never bother you during my lessons again,โ the mathematics teacher said.Leon Batton smiled instantly. โOkay. You said so.โโI did indeed. Come and answer it.โThe teacher specifically prepared this question for them. She wanted them to realize instantly that they still needed to learn.She thought theyโd been too arrogant lately and did whatever they wanted just because they were academically gifted.This question was based on content taught at universities, making it more difficult than usual.It should be impossible for the duo to answer it correctly.Meanwhile, they seemed calm as they stood up and walked toward the podium.After that, they picked up their pens and began writing down their answers on both ends of the whiteboard.Everyone started muttering thenโโSheโs trying to make life difficult for them. They canโt possibly answer it correctly.โโThis isnโt even high school content. No matter how smart Lynette and Leon are, they canโt answer it. Right?โ

โThey are indeed geniuses in order to answer such a difficult question correctly.โโIโve never even seen a question like that before.โโWhatโs in their brains?โโI just realized that Lynette and Leon truly deserve the title of the top students in our school.โThe students were still offering compliments to the siblings, while the mathematics teacher remained stunned.She never expected this to happen.Lynette Batton and Leon Batton were much more intelligent than she imagined.After a few seconds, she regained her composure and gazed at the siblings. โHow did you do that? This is university level stuff. Itโs taught in the final year.โLeon grinned. โI happened to have seen it online. The two of us did some research on it.โThe rest of the students were even more surprised to hear this.If possible, they admired the siblings even more now.The teacher never expected this. Initially, she only wanted to teach them a lesson by posing a difficult question.However, in the end, s

The mathematics teacher was annoyed, but she couldnโt do anything about it since she had made the promise.As soon as the lesson ended, students began discussing current news in the entertainment industryโโDid you know that Josh Battonโs movie will be coming out soon? I think itโs going to be out in a month during summer. I want to go watch it.โโMe, too! I admire Josh.โโHe hasnโt aged a day. There isnโt a man more glorified than him in the entertainment industry. My parents are extremely against me chasing after celebrities, but they donโt mind if itโs Josh.โโDo you guys have any way of meeting Josh in person? I want to meet him in person.โโTo be honest, meeting Josh in person is nearly impossible. Apart from appearing on film sets, Josh is nowhere to be seen.โโIf only I were part of his family. Iโd be able to see my idol every day.โLynette Batton and Leon Batton exchanged glances with knowing looks.They were part of that family, although they didnโt feel as intensely

On the field, Lynette Batton and Leon Batton walked side-by-side, clad in English-style uniforms.Leon wore a dark blue uniform with a white shirt, a black tie, and black leather shoes. He seemed like a male protagonist from a television drama.Meanwhile, his sister wore a similar uniform except paired with a dark blue, high-waisted skirt, a pair of black knee-highs, and black English-style leather shoes.His hair was combed neatly and parted in a three-to-seven ratio, while her hair was long, black, and curly.Although they had similar facial features, they radiated different vibes.Leon appeared handsome and aloof, while his sister seemed pretty and elegant.A gentle breeze lifted Lynetteโs skirt by the hem ever so slightly. She could pass off as a female protagonist from a well-made television drama.Many people couldnโt resist the urge to take their pictures, which all turned out well.The siblings looked flattering no matter from which angle.Lynette naturally rested her

Lynette Batton and Leon Batton gazed at each other as his words instantly made her feel warm inside.She knew her brother had the best intentions for her own good most of the time, even though he came across as unreasonable sometimes.โLeon, donโt you think youโre being unrealistic?" she asked in exasperation. "Everyone needs to grow up. Once we are adults, it's inevitable to engage in some things that are complicated and impure.โNobodyโs world can always remain pure and clean,โ she added, feeling like he was being ludicrous.However, Leon wore a subdued expression as he stared at her. โIt might be impossible for others, but not for you. I will stay by your side and protect you forever. You will always remain uncorrupted where you donโt have to worry about anything.โI will stand in front of you to block anything tainted and difficult in the world while you donโt even have to lift a finger. You only have to sit still and look pretty,โ he added.Ever since Leon became mature enou

โLeon, weโre very lucky, to be honest,โ Lynette Batton said with a wistful smile as she gazed at Leon Batton.He returned her smile with a nod. โYeah.โโLots of kids from a family like ours have their entire future mapped out for them already. They donโt even have the right to dream,โ she added. โBut, you and I are different.โHer brother nodded in agreement.Their parents had only requested the siblings to study well, stay healthy, and be happy. They even encouraged them to chase after their dreams.As a result, the teens were much happier and felt less pressure than their peers.Lynette and Leon enjoyed this kind of lifestyle.โI heard Uncle Josh had to face a lot of resistance from family members when he first joined the entertainment industry. In fact, our grandfather refused to forgive him for a long time. โOur dad is also different from Uncle Josh.โ Lynetteโs eyes sparkled when she talked about Stanley Batton.Her distinct facial features were even more apparent with th

The girl quickly ran off within moments. Her departure spurred a flurry of comments from the people around themโโThere are all sorts of people in the world. Who does she think she is? How dare she ask Leon to accompany her on the piano?โโExactly. Why would Leon accompany someone else on the piano? What a joke.โโYouโre wrong. Leon would accompany someone else on the piano, but that person could only be Lynette.โโThatโs right. Does she think sheโs Lynette?โLynette Batton instantly frowned upon hearing their comments. โAll right. Quiet down, everyone.โAbruptly, everyone quietened.She then peeked at Leon Batton. โLeon, how could you turn that girl down in front of so many people?โHer brother frowned slightly. โI donโt like her, so why can't I turn her down?โFrom his perspective, it was necessary to be cold and be dismissive if he didnโt like that person.He wouldn't want to give them the wrong idea.โFine. I will never get through your thick skull,โ Lynette sighed.โ

Leon Batton and Lynette Batton didnโt need to dress up to look good. As vibrant youths, they seemed glamorous enough in their simple school uniforms.Seeing her children reminded Xyla Quest of her time in school when she was as glamorous and free-spirited as they were now.The siblings noticed their mother's presence when the song ended.Lynette chuckled playfully before quickly running over to wrap one arm around hers. โMommy, what did you think of our performance?โLeon stood up and smiled at her from afar. โHi, Mommy.โXyla nodded slightly and peered at them. โHmm...my son and daughter are the best," she praised. "Lynette, I heard from your father that you want to become an idol. Is that so?โHer daughter nodded instantly. โYes, I hope to be an influential person like Uncle Josh. I would be able to reach out to many people with my abilities.โXyla gave her a 'thumbs up' motion when she heard her. โSure. You have my full support. โWhy don't you join under my company? Iโll ma

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

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.
