โJosh, what can I do for you?โ Annabeth Cates looked at Josh Batton earnestly. She seemed very careful.โWhatโs my next appointment?โ Josh asked.โNext, weโre going to City K to shoot for S Magazineโs cover and a few pages withinโฆโ Annabeth said seriously.โOkay.โ With that, Josh slowly closed his eyes and didnโt say anything else.The song โAs Friendsโ was still playing on repeat on his earphones.Annabeth knew that he was exhausted now. Hence, she didnโt say anything further.Even without saying anything, Josh still glowed by just silently listening to music with his eyes closed.โWeโll probably be working until very late today. Youโll still be very busy tomorrow. Perhaps, you might only get three hours of sleep tonight. You should rest some more during the ride,โ Annabeth reminded earnestly.โUnderstood,โ Josh said indifferently without opening his eyes.Approximately an hour later, Josh and Annabeth arrived at Atlantis International Airport with a group of bodyguards.In

Which top-notch celebrity in the entire entertainment industry would treat his assistant like this?There was noneโฆThe female fans at the scene all went crazy when they saw thisโฆโAhhโฆ How could this happen? Is she the assistant, or is Josh the assistant?โโJoshโฆ Please remember your identity. Youโre a top-notch celebrity, not her assistant!โโAhhโฆ Iโm jealous. If Josh does this for me even once, Iโd be willing to die for him!โWhen Annabeth Cates heard what everyone said, she instantly moved closer to Josh Battonโs ear. โJoshโฆ Your fans are objecting. Hurry up and let go of meโฆโ She said softly.However, Josh acted as if he didnโt hear herโฆAnnabeth struggled to move away, but it was to no avail.If looks could kill, Annabeth thought she would perhaps already be dead nowโฆAbout an hour later, Josh and Annabeth finally made it into the first-class lounge with much difficulty.Only then did their world finally settle down into quiet.They were the only two people in the lou

In fact, Annabeth Cates felt that it was blasphemous of her even to have such thoughts.The woman who would be with Josh Batton in the future would surely be someone of the same stature with a fair complexion, a wealthy background, and great beauty.It wouldnโt be someone like herโฆBesides, Annabeth could feel that Josh liked Xyla Quest from the bottom of his heartโฆJosh treated Xyla differently from how he treated othersโฆApart from that, Annabeth accidentally saw that Josh saved many of Xylaโs photos on his phone previously.Thinking about Xyla made Annabeth feel even more self-abased.When Annabeth opened Weibo, she saw that the number one hot topic had changed again.Right then, the number one hot topic had become โ#Josh Batton protects his assistant at the airport# Explosiveโ.Annabeth had guessed that scene would end up on the list of hot topics, but she didnโt think itโd happen so soon.After opening the hot topic, Annabeth saw various pictures of the instant Josh prot

Noticing how Annabeth Cates seemed to be lost in a daydream, a curious look appeared in Josh Battonโs eyes. โWhat are you thinking about?โAnnabeth chuckled. โNothing muchโฆโโAre you feeling alright?โ Josh asked.โOf courseโฆโ Annabethโs smile broadened.โThatโs goodโฆโ Josh said.He didnโt say anything else. Instead, after putting his phone down, he casually picked up an envelope from the pile of similar envelopes nearby and started reading intently.***At the same time, in the office of X Entertainmentโs CEOโฆGeorgie Clementine was carefully going through documentsโฆShe had gotten a new haircut.Her long, black hair was now curled up and split in a three-to-seven ratioโฆThe tip of her hair only reached her earlobes.

As soon as Georgie Clementine walked in, she saw a woman wearing a black Hermes dress among the crowd.The woman also wore a black Hermes hat. She had light, intricate makeup on her face, and she wore antique, pink, diamond jewelry worth up to a hundred million dollars. Her entire body seemed to glow with beauty and nobility.The woman seemed very youngโฆGeorgie highly suspected that this was Henry Armstrongโs mother. That was because the way she dressed made her look exactly like a wealthy housewife.However, Georgie couldnโt be too sure.After all, this person seemed too young. She was probably in her forties at mostโฆHenry told Georgie himself that his mother was in her fifties.However, plenty of rich people looked after themselves well and seemed to be in their forties despite being in their fifties.As Georgie pondered, the woman in Hermes waved at her.She waved downward, and her expression was icy.

Henry Armstrongโs mother instantly rolled her eyes at Georgie Clementine. After that, she crossed her arms in front of her chest and gave Georgie the side-eye. โLove? Donโt make yourself sound so greatโฆ Donโt you think I donโt know this act, but you donโt love him at all. Instead, you love his moneyโฆ Such a fake b*tchโฆโIf youโre a smart person, take these 300 million dollars and get lostโฆ Forget about your little tricks. Donโt ever think that I would fall for your nonsense. I am far more experienced than you areโฆโ Henryโs mother sneered.โMadamโฆ Regardless of whether you believe me or notโฆ My feelings for Henry are real,โ Georgie said.โTake the 300 million dollars and get lostโฆโ Henryโs mother added.The determined attitude of Henryโs mother convinced Georgie to give up on all her fantasies. But, unfortunately, it also shaved away all her patience.โItโs impossible to convince me to leave Henry unless he comes here and tells me to leave on his own. Iโll leave immediately if that

After returning to her office, Georgie Clementine still had a lot of pent-up feelings.Right then, Henry Armstrongโs call came inโฆShe instantly frowned coldly and walked over to the French window. โWhat is it?โ She picked up and asked.Due to her bad mood, her tone wasnโt pleasant either.Having lived long enough, Georgie had seen many wealthy people who are arrogant and impolite.However, someone like Henryโs mother was truly rareโฆDid she think she was all that great just because she had money?Although it was quite somethingโฆDid she have to look down on others like that?Did she have severe paranoia?Did she think everyone was after their familyโs money?โWho made my baby upset? Why do you sound so unhappy?โ Henry was trying to calm her down.โYour motherโฆโ Georgie said.โNo, wait a secondโฆ You can be angry, but can you not scold me?

Where are you? Iโll come and see youโฆโ Henry said.โIโm at the office.โ Georgie hung up right after saying that.There was an indescribable sense of annoyance in her heart.Georgie had already thought that Henryโs family might disagree with them being together when they first started dating.However, Georgie didnโt expect his family to insult her like this.For example, had Henryโs mother been a little more polite in expressing herself, Georgie wouldโve been willing to stoop lower and work hard with Henry.But now, Henryโs mother had already made things very clear. Georgie had no reason to keep stooping low any longer.If things worked out, they worked out.If they didnโtโฆ Itโd be the end of the relationship.G

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

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. 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, โMr. Grayโฆ What is the meaning of this?โ โWhatโs the meaning of this? Ha! Donโt you know whatโs good for you?

Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasnโt about to be silent anytime soon. Hannah felt deeply unsettled, so much that she didnโt 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 Grayโฆ 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 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. 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. โMs. 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 todayโฆโโHe lost his temper and claimed heโd destroy our bar if Hannah refuses to sing another songโฆโ 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 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.

Hannah Roland smiled without saying anything.***Hannah arrived at the bar where she worked at seven oโclock the next evening and walked into Rihanna Jensenโs office.Rihanna was going through paperwork in her office.
