With Rachel Wood’s personality, she spoke very little. Moreover, she was very prim and proper…Since the two of them had similar opinions on many things, they were able to have a great conversation.***Meanwhile, in the grand lobby downstairs, Georgie Clementine walked through the door. She directly walked over to a young man, who wore a suit and had small eyes, sitting at a table by the window.The man before her was dressed up very well. He was wearing a dark blue Armani suit and a white Versace shirt on the inside. There wasn’t a single wrinkle on his outfit.For someone like Georgie, who’d gotten used to seeing handsome men, she honestly found him unattractive.Compared to the man’s presentable way of dressing up, Georgie was much more casual. She didn’t have any makeup on, and she was wearing the tight-fitting black dress she’d worn to work today.When the man saw Georgie, he immediately stood up cheerfully and extended a hand to Georgie. “Hello… Miss, my name is Woody Gra
The things this man said had already made Georgie Clementine feel very annoyed. Now that he was behaving like an obnoxious jerk, it made Georgie feel even more disgusted.Georgie really didn’t know what gave this person the courage to act like this.However, she didn’t want to argue with him in public. She instantly pushed his hand away and was prepared to leave.Arguing with someone like him would only devalue herself.People like him didn’t even deserve a glance from her.After finishing what she wanted to say, Georgie directly turned around and left.Meanwhile, Woody Grayson continued to tail after her to the restaurant’s entrance.He really didn’t like this woman’s attitude toward him. What was she playing at?Noticing that Woody had followed her out, Georgie couldn’t be bothered to continue speaking with him. Hence, she started walking to her car.“Say, Georgie…” Woody directly called out to her.Georgie continued to ignore him and pressed her car key to unlock her car.
The moment Georgie Clementine’s heel landed on Woody Grayson’s foot, he immediately yelped in pain. “Ahh…”Suddenly, the veins on his neck bulged.In the next second, Georgie quickly pulled her leg away before turning around and leaving…“Georgie Clementine, just you wait. I’ll definitely make your life miserable in Atlantis!” Woody pointed at Georgie angrily as he shouted.The dispute between them very quickly attracted a crowd of observers.Regardless of how many pairs of eyes were on her, Georgie remained calm and dominant as usual.Henry Armstrong saw that this person deserved to be hit too. He immediately tugged at the tie around his neck, turning his neck around slightly. After that, he directly rolled his white sleeves up to his elbows.Then, Henry walked right over to Woody and forcefully punched the man in his face.In the next second, Woody fell to the ground.With some of his teeth knocked off, fresh blood immediately flowed out of his mouth. Woody was in so much pa
“Xyla, Stanley, and the others are all up there. Come… Let’s go up and eat,” Henry Armstrong said before pulling Georgie Clementine inside.“No, I won’t be going. I still have some stuff to do…” Georgie said as she struggled to pull away.However, Henry simply wouldn’t let go. He dragged her forcefully into the restaurant.As soon as he walked through the door, he lowered his head and took out his phone with one hand to call his assistant, Rosalie Myers. “Inform the subordinates that what I did in front of Lou’s Chrysanthemum must not be shared to the public…”After that, Henry directly hung up his phone and continued pulling Georgie into the restaurant…“Henry… I really don’t want to go… I’ve already eaten,” Georgie said. She didn’t want to stick around with Henry.Hearing this, Henry immediately came to a halt and smiled and looked at her face. “If you don’t go, I’ll kiss you in front of everyone until you cry right here, right now,” he whispered by her ear.Everyone walking p
Georgie Clementine rolled her eyes at Henry Armstrong. She didn’t want to continue talking to this person at all. Instead, she silently walked upstairs with him.However, Henry struck up a conversation again. “How did you get into a fight with that lunatic? Can you tell me now?”After that, Georgie told Henry everything in detail. She still had an annoyed look in her eyes.When Georgie talked about this, she was very upset.Henry instantly nodded a few times. The look of approval in his eyes grew more intense. He couldn’t help but smile when he looked at her approvingly. “You did awesome. It’s always great to punish jerks sometimes. When you do it all the time, you get to feel great all the time.”“I bet that psycho won’t give up so easily. My mother told me his family is quite rich…” Georgie said.She predicted that Woody Grayson would still come looking for trouble for a while.However, she had nothing to be afraid of either.However, Henry snickered indifferently. “Tsk… He’d
“One man and one woman inside this room beat me up. Hurry up and lock them up in prison.” Woody Grayson’s voice could be heard once again. He still sounded angry.When people in the room heard his voice, they all frowned a little.Henry Armstrong snorted coldly as he gently moved his wrists around. “Bloody hell. He actually dares to come here…”Right after that, someone pushed the door open.Woody, whose face was swollen with bruises, stood at the door and pointed arrogantly at Henry and Georgie Clementine inside the room. “You two… Come out. You’re both dead! You’re definitely going to prison!”Henry smiled a little, but he didn’t say anything. Instead, he calmly drank his tea.Meanwhile, the other people in the room didn’t even bat an eyelid at Woody. They all continued to eat their food.Each of them seemed to have an aura of power around them.However, in the next second, when Woody’s gaze landed upon Stanley Batton’s face with a cold expression, he immediately felt uneasy
At first, Woody Grayson had hoped that the police officers he brought with him could arrest the people who beat him up.However, he didn’t expect that he’d end up being the person who was arrested. Meanwhile, apart from silently accepting his fate, he couldn’t do anything about it right now…It was the Armstrong family from Atlantis. People like Woody couldn’t afford to offend someone from that family.When Woody recalled how he had acted so arrogantly in front of Henry Armstrong, he felt foolish.“Lock this person up,” Henry said again. “He’s not to be released for at least half a year,” he added.With that, Henry lit up a cigarette and began taking a puff at it with one leg crossed over the other.“Yes, Mr. Armstrong…” After speaking, Mr. Horthon took the lead to turn around and leave.Meanwhile, the other police officers restrained Woody in a rough manner and followed behind Mr. Horthon.The door closed—The entire world became quiet and peaceful as it was before.As an ob
Georgie Clementine looked calmly at the night scenery beneath her feet. “How else can I feel? He’s a womanizer. We’re not compatible… I don’t want to have feelings for him…” Georgie said.Xyla Quest gently held Georgie’s hand. “Now, Henry is no longer the womanizer he was before. He’s turned over a new leaf…”Georgie chuckled again. “I wouldn’t dare believe in him…”Henry Armstrong’s visits to Georgie hadn’t decreased in recent times.To be honest, after spending so much time together, Georgie couldn’t exactly say that she had no feelings for him at all.Sometimes, she did feel moved.However, Georgie could control herself. That was because she didn’t want to fall for a womanizer like him so easily.Being in a relationship with someone like Henry was like a gamble. If she won the gamble, she’d be happy for the rest of her life. If she lost, she’d never recover from it.Georgie didn’t want to gamble.Hence, whenever she saw Henry now, she’d try her best to avoid him.When Xyla
Xyla quickly reached for Hannah’s hand. “Is that right? Hannah, you’re amazing…! You’re practically on par with Leon!”Hannah laughed, slightly embarrassed. “Not at all.”“Oh, cut it out. If you hadn’t helped me, how could I have improved so quickly?” Leon chuckled.“I guess I’ve lived up to my promise.” 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. “Yes, Hannah’s very capable. She’s our family pride.”Hannah laughed. “I was lucky to be accepted by your family.”In 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
“Hannah, I’ve taken the first step for you. Are you willing to walk by my side for the rest of our lives?” Leon asked, serious.“Yes, I am…” Hannah answered without missing a beat.“I’ll protect you. From now on, you don’t have to worry about a single thing.” With that, Leon placed both hands on Hannah’s face and kissed her on the lips.The moment their lips touched, everything felt surreal…Hannah could feel pink, light bubbles floating all around her. It felt as if all the flowers in the world were blossoming at once.In Hannah’s 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 now… 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, Leon’s 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, Hannah’s 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 wasn’t a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfounded…This meant Leon actually liked her! He was confessing to her, wasn’t 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 couldn’t utter a single word.Her heartbeat increased rapidly, and her entire body began to shake. Sensing her trembling body, Leon tightened his e
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. 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, “Mr. Gray… What is the meaning of this?” “What’s the meaning of this? Ha! Don’t you know what’s good for you? You dumb b*tch… You’re lucky that I set my sights on you!”“How dare you refuse my feelings! Not just that, but you even made up a story to deceive me!”“Even when you saw me, you tried to trick me again!”“Do you think I’m stupid? That I can’t think? Do you honestly think I’d fall for your lies again and again?” Raymond went, his tone steadily rising into a furious roar.He then got on o
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. 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 politely at Lina Cohen. “Nice to meet you… Thank you in advance!”“No problem… Do let me know if there’s anything you don’t like about your makeup too,” Lina said.Hannah nodded. “Okay, sure…”“By the way… Do all the signers here get such good treatment? 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.
