“She’s stepping into her own grave in such a hurry.” Xyla Quest chuckled before replying to the email.

“I’m very interested.” She wrote.

Emily Quest responded almost instantly. “Really? Can you give me your contact number? Let’s discuss this over a call.”

Xyla smiled before sending Georgie Clementine’s phone number to Emily.

After a second, Emily’s call came in.

Seeing this, Xyla immediately picked up the phone and excused herself from the room. “Hello, how are you…” She said while leaning lazily against the wall.

Xyla intentionally changed her voice so that she sounded completely different.

“Hello, are you Josh Batton’s manager, Georgie Clementine?”

“Yes, I’m very interested in what you mentioned. However, I think that thirty million dollars is not enough…” Xyla said while twirling her hair with her fingers.

“What about thirty-five million dollars?”

“But most of our deals are at least forty million dollars these days,” Xyla replied.

“Well… Well then, let’s make it forty million dollars!” Emily answered without hesitation.

“Deal.”

“Really? In that case, let’s sign the contract at eight o’clock in the morning tomorrow. How does that sound? I’ll send you the location for where we will meet to sign the contract.” Emily sounded overjoyed.

“Deal.” Xyla smiled satisfactorily.

***

When Emily Quest heard the word ‘deal’, she nearly cried out in excitement.

Although the price was slightly higher than she anticipated, she decided to use her savings to top up the remaining amount.

If she could defeat Xyla Quest, so what if she had to spend an extra ten million dollars? Once Xyla was defeated, Emily could embarrass Xyla all over the internet and claim all of the Quest family’s businesses.

Emily excitedly leaped around her room before finally sitting down on her bed. With trembling hands, she opened the WeChat group, ‘Circle of Famous Chicks’.

With herself included, there were a total of six people in the group. These were all her closest female friends.

In the group, all the girls come from families with well-established businesses. However, they each had different standards.

According to what Emily was aware of, all of them tried asking their fathers to hire Josh Batton to endorse their respective brands because they liked Josh Batton. However, Josh Batton did not even reply to their requests.

This time around, Emily was able to get Josh Batton to agree on her own. Naturally, she wanted to show off.

“@Everyone, do you know what just happened? Josh Batton has just agreed to endorse our family’s new property development!

“Your husband, Josh Batton! Your favorite Josh Batton! @Everyone.”

Within a second, the group went into an uproar. Everyone expressed how jealous they were while they cheered excitedly.

After that, they begged Emily to bring them along when she went for the advertisement shoots.

At that moment, Emily felt as if she were being treated like a queen. This very much satisfied her need for glorification.

After showing off in the group, Emily sent Xyla a message on WeChat. “Josh Batton has already agreed with my proposal. What about you? I bet they didn’t even care to reply to you.

“Xyla Quest, just wait to be tortured by me. You have always been this foolish.”

***

On the other hand, Xyla Quest ignored the WeChat message and continued to drink with the rest.

Once dinner was over, everyone proceeded to leave. Since Xyla had a little too much to drink, Georgie Clementine, who had abstained from drinking, helped her to their car.

Once they got into the car, Georgie turned on the engine and asked, “President Xyla, what exactly is going on with Emily Quest?”

Xyla told Georgie Clementine about the bet between her and her sister.

Georgie could not help but roll her eyes. “She really is in a rush to get herself killed.”

“Based on how well I understand her, I think we are about to witness a good show, Georgie,” Xyla said softly with a pleased smile on her face.

“Leave the rest to me…” Georgie said.

Within a second, the red Maserati took off like a rocket and soon merged with the road traffic.

***

Not long after Emily Quest sent those messages to her friends, word got out to more famous Atlantis chicks.

Closely after that, Weibo began sharing news about how the Quest family’s second heir, Emily Quest, had successfully booked a deal with Josh Batton. Someone even shared the chat history between Emily Quest and her circle of famous chicks.

All night long, Weibo was filled with hashtags of ‘#EmilyQuest4000ContractWithJoshStewart#’. Very soon, it made it to the top of the list of most searched topics.

When Emily woke up the next morning, she discovered that she had become part of the internet’s most popular topic. When she saw jealous comments on the internet, she felt incredibly proud of herself.

She knew that her friends must have spread the news.

However, what did it matter? Since she had already gotten the deal, the only thing left was to get the contract signed.

Right then, she suddenly received a private message on Weibo from an unknown number, ‘9999+’.

Emily Quest immediately opened the message.

“Have you gone mad from wanting to be famous?”

“How dare you try to get famous by using my favorite idol. You dog.”

Emily felt confused by the private messages. She honestly had no idea what nonsense these internet users were talking about.

“Are these people crazy?” Emily murmured to herself as she closed her inbox.

As soon as she did so, she saw a post Josh Batton had forwarded about her signing a deal with him for forty million dollars. “Indeed, I signed a deal to endorse the Quest family’s new property development. However, the person I signed it with was Xyla Quest. Moreover, the contract price was not forty million dollars.”

Emily was instantly dumbfounded.

Although Josh Batton had only posted this on Weibo two minutes ago, it had already been forwarded and commented on with over seven-figure numbers.

“??? What was Emily Quest on about last night? Was she trying to get popular? Your big sister signed a contract with Josh Batton. What are you so excited about?”

“Is this woman delusional? Does she want to be cyberbullied again? If you nod, I will willingly send you on your way to heaven.”

“I increasingly feel that this woman has mental issues. Although they are both from the Quest family, I feel that Emily Quest and Xyla Quest are completely different individuals. How dare Emily try to become popular using my husband’s name?”

Emily felt as if she were being slapped when she read these hateful comments.

Subconsciously, Emily clenched her fists tightly in anger.

What exactly was going on?

Last night, Georgie Clementine had already made a promise with her. Why did they sign the contract with Xyla Quest in that case?

While Emily offered forty million dollars, Xyla only offered ten million dollars. Had they gone mad? Emily could not figure out what went wrong.

While Emily trembled in shock, she immediately called Georgie Clementine on her phone.

    Sebastian Brenand took in a deep breath. “It was only meant as a joke. How could that have happened?”Henry rolled his eyes at Sebastian. “Pray for your own well-being.”When Xyla Quest leaned her face against his solid and broad chest, she could feel his prominent heartbeat.Xyla took in a deep breath. “About that… Actually, I can walk on my own with a little help…” She sounded a little embarrassed.However, the man continued to walk outside without saying a word.Since they were a good-looking pair, everyone turned their heads to look at them when they walked past.After they made it outside, Xyla looked at the man’s hardened face. “Don’t you still have unrecovered wounds? Are you sure it’s okay to hold me like this? Why don’t you put me down?”From what she recalled, he was injured only a few days ago. In fact, he was in a pretty bad shape then.Wouldn’t his wounds be affected if he held her like this?“Where is your car?” The man asked as if he had not heard what she said earlier.

I won’t die from it.” He remained nonchalant as he looked forward and continued to turn the steering wheel.“If you don’t tend to a minor injury, your wound may become infected, and you might die,” Xyla added.Since this only happened because of her, Xyla could not ignore it.“Let’s go back to the hospital,” she said.“I’ll send you home first.”“I hate the hospital.

    Instead of Jeremy Quest, two serious-looking police officers stood outside the door.Before Emily Quest could react, ice-cold handcuffs were strapped around her wrist. “Emily Quest, you have been charged with hiring people to assault someone. You must come with us to Golden Bay police station.”Emily was in a state of shock. She had clearly made the necessary arrangements, and these people had promised her they would not spill the beans on her.‘D*mn it!’“Police officer, I think there must be a misunderstanding.” Emily tried to appear friendly while her eyes filled with fear as she subconsciously backed away.“Take her away!” The other police officer said coldly.

    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

    Terrible pain ached at every part of Hannah’s body as she collided with the cold, hard ground.The pain was such that all her bones felt close to breaking.

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?

    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. She really didn’t 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. “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.

I’m surprised we’re even assigned our own makeup artists,” Hannah asked carefully as she wasn’t aware about things like these..However, Lina smiled without answering Hannah’s question directly. She held Hannah’s hand casually the next second, “Come here. I’ll start doing your makeup now…”Hannah nodded…Lina was a very professional makeup artist. She took an hour to finish Hannah’s makeup.An hour later, Hannah’s appearance transformed completely.Lina permed Hannah’s long, black hair into natural-looking curls.Hannah had intricate peach-colored makeup on her face which made her appear lively and youthful.Once Lina was done with Hannah’s makeup, she happily retrieved a long, white dress from a clothes

    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. In fact, he even told me I did a good job…”“He said you can sing without worrying about a single thing… If you need any help in the future, do let us know…” Rihanna added.Hannah felt glad when she heard this, and became teary-eyed. “Thank you… Please thank our big boss for me too.
