Tony Sullivan looked sternly at Tom Sullivan. โI donโt care how you feel about this. Since you now have a child on the way, you will continue to be with Emily. Letโs go home and get prepared for the wedding.โWhen Emily Quest heard what Tony said, a smile immediately appeared on her face. From a precarious situation before, she was now on cloud nine.Subconsciously, Emily rubbed her stomach. She thanked herself for having come up with this idea. Otherwise, Tom would have slipped away.In reality, she had texted the director of the obstetrics and gynecology department director long before they arrived to ask that he create a fake medical report for her. In return, she would sleep with him once more. The guy agreed without even hesitating.Personally, Emily had an addiction to sex. Since Tom could not satisfy her desires, she needed to sleep with different men every day.Therefore, having sex with other men in exchange for her desired benefits was not a big deal.โOh, yeah, Tom.

โOh, I understand now. The investment opportunity was just a decoy. Inviting us out to have a good time was also a decoy. The truth is that you want us to buy property from our sister-in-law, isnโt that so?โ Henry had a look of realization on his face.โIt will be launched in a weekโฆ You will each purchase a single block,โ Stanley Batton said firmly to suggest it was non-negotiable.โD*mn! An entire block? You are asking for too much.โ Henry groaned.โYou are openly stealing from us!โ Sebastian complained.Gary Lakes did not say anything. Instead, he touched his forehead helplessly. Apart from Stanley, Gary was the person who spoke the least.โSo?โ Stanley looked at each of them in turn. It was impossible to tell what he was thinking or feeling at the moment.โIโll buy it.โ Henry nodded helplessly. He felt that he was being forced to make a purchase.โIโll buy it too. How can we not buy property from our sister-in-lawโs family business?โ Sebastian rolled his eyes at Stanley. โD*mn. My

โWhen I offered ten million dollars a year, this person completely ignored me. When I offered fifteen million dollars, he still ignored me. In the end, I stooped so low that I offered thirty million dollars.โI bet the most popular celebrities in the industry donโt even earn this much. Do you know how this person responded in the end?โ Henry seemed even more depressed.โHow?โ Sebastian Brenand seemed very interested.โThree words. Forget about it,โ Henry said.โPerhaps that person isnโt interested in becoming a professional player.โ Gary Lakes patted Henry on his shoulder.โThirty million dollars for a year of professional gaming. Who could turn that down?โ Henry looked confused.โWhat if thirty million dollars isnโt even a large amount to this person?โ Sebastian asked before emptying his glass of red wine. After that, he passed a cigar to each of them before standing up and lighting it up for Stanley Batton.โCould that person be from a rich family?โ Gary added.โGod knows. If he isnโ

Instead, she took her phone out and began persuading her friends to buy Imperial Primeโs property on WeChat.Due to how fast she was typing, it was nearly impossible for the WeChat group to catch up.After Sharon was done with the introductions, her friends in the group indicated they were all interested.Only then did Sharon put her phone down and sit on the couch.After a second, she began mumbling to herself. โI must personally visit my daughter-in-law this coming TuesdayโฆโSharon proceeded to call Diorโs chief designer. โI am meeting a very important person. Design a set of clothes for me. I want it to be stylish but not too over-the-top. It should make me look very young.

Emily Quest approached Xyla Quest almost as if she were a predator, ready to pounce at a momentโs notice. There was an expression of hatred on her face that was covered in make-up.โWhat do you want?โ Xyla raised her brows coldly.โNothing much. I just wanted to tell you that Brother Sullivan and I are getting married. In fact, we are getting married in two weeks.โI know youโve always wanted to break us up to exact revenge on me so that I would lose everything.โHowever, Xyla Quest, Iโm letting you know that your plans will never succeed.โI now bear the Sullivan familyโs child.

When Xyla Quest first paid for the news article to be on the list of most popular topics on the internet, she only paid for a single dayโs worth of exposure. Logically speaking, the other party did not have to refuse Tom Sullivanโs offer.Now that something like this had happened, someone else was clearly pulling a prank on Emily Quest apart from Xyla.Who was this person? Could it be one of the Sullivan familyโs competitors? Regardless of who did it, Xyla found this entire ordeal to be impressive.As soon as May Conner heard what Emily Quest said, she immediately pressed her ear against Emilyโs phone.Emily pushed May away, annoyedly, before walking over to the French window.โCanโt you understand the human language? I was just about to call you and ask you about who you messed with.โ Tom Sullivan sounded very angry.โWho else could I have messed with? Xyla Quest is the only personโฆ Xyla must be behind this!

Xyla intended to look for Five Batton so that she could return five hundred thousand dollars to him. However, she then realized that he had never given her his contact details.Since too many bad things were happening in the day, and the fact that Stanley had left in a hurry, she forgot about returning him the money.Although she now recalled it, there was no way she could transfer the money to him. She could only hope to bump into him again in the future.If they did meet again, she would return him five hundred thousand dollars with certainty.***At ten oโclock in the morning, Xyla woke up naturally.After stretching her arms on her comfortably soft bed, she slowly sat up.Her long, black, wavy hair untangled around her to give her a somewhat lazy appearance. Right then, she looked like a lazy yet expensive cat, which was enjoying an afternoon nap in the summer.Beep. Beep. Beep.Xylaโs phone began to ring.

This was the first time in twenty-eight years someone thought of Stanley as a poor person.โI have some savings. I borrowed the rest from my boss,โ Stanley answered calmly.โHow much did you borrow?โ Xyla asked.โApproximately three million dollars. Iโll pay him back over time,โ he added.Xyla did not hesitate to shove the car keys into his pocket before gently patting the carโs hood. โListen to me and return this immediately. Itโs not worth getting into debt over a car.โBesides, havenโt I told you not to pay me for the car? You were the one who saved my life. How could I ask you to pay for my car?โ Xyla seemed determined.โIf you donโt want it, throw it away,โ Stanley said calmly before returning the car keys to her and walking away.Xyla was truly dumbfounded. She had no idea why this person was in such a hurry to return her money. If he had a lot of spare cash, she might have been able to understand. However, the fact was that he was not exactly wealthy.Xyla immediately ran after

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

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?

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.
