“Dad, I’ve already made up my mind… You and Mom should think it through. Are you willing to lose me as your son just because you disagree with me being in a relationship with Georgie…” Henry Armstrong’s words once again induced an extremely dissatisfied feeling in his father…However, before Henry’s father could speak, Jenny Armstrong started speaking first. “That’s right. You and Mom should think it through. If Henry leaves this family, I’ll leave too…“If you oppose this couple, you’ll lose a pair of a perfect son and daughter.“If you approve of this couple, you and Mom will continue to have a perfect pair of son and daughter…“I don’t have to teach you what to choose, do it? You’ll really lose a lot if you say anything against their relationship…” Jenny said earnestly. There was a serious look in her eyes.She had meant the things she said…Besides, no matter what, she was going to help Henry get what he wanted.Jenny wanted Henry to be happy.Whatever Henry wanted to accom
“Stay quiet? Why should I stay quiet? How can I stay quiet?” Henry Armstrong’s father redirected his anger toward Jenny Armstrong.After uttering those words, he immediately regretted it…However, words that were spoken couldn’t be taken back.Jenny wasn’t angry. Instead, she cautiously walked over to her father and sat down. She then crossed her arms tightly. “Dad… As long as you allow Henry to be happy… I will promise you that I’ll allow you to take complete control of my marriage…“From now on, I’ll cooperate with you by meeting all those men you liked but whom I didn’t want to meet before…“Moreover, I won’t intentionally act strangely just to put people off as I did before… I will definitely behave well…“I can sacrifice my happiness in return for Henry’s happiness…“Also, I promise I will get married to a man you approve of. It will help the Armstrong family get even better.“Of course, if you disagree, then I will also leave this family and live with Henry. If that happe
At this instant, countless memories from when Jenny Armstrong was a child gushed into her mind.Ever since she was a kid, Henry Armstrong had been the one who treated her the best in the family…Although Jenny’s parents also loved her a lot, it still couldn’t compare to how much Henry loved her.In her memories, there were many occasions when her classmates bullied her, and Henry was the one who always showed up and took care of matters for her.Most of the time, Henry was like her father, who protected her against harm.Beep, beep, beep—Right then, Jenny’s phone started ringing.The screen indicated that an idol she paid particular attention to, Blakely Shelton, had published something on Weibo…Jenny immediately tapped on it to have a look…Blakely published a selfie…In the picture, he looked like an extremely clean guy.Blakely didn’t have any makeup on, and his hair was split in a precise three-to-seven ratio. He had a black hairband on as well as a black sports shirt.
Blakely Shelton, like other idols, also started shooting for magazines, publishing singles, appearing on variety shows, and picking up endorsement deals.Meanwhile, the number of magazines and brands that went to him also increased.Blakely managed to go from a non-mainstream celebrity to a mainstream celebrity.Although the brands and magazines that went to him were non-mainstream, Jenny Armstrong was still happy for him…She would spend a lot of money on him each time.Jenny helped raise his popularity in the charts by purchasing all products he endorsed…This was all so that Jenny’s idol could keep getting better…In fact, she would blend in with ordinary girls to send him off at the airport…Due to the insane amount of money Jenny spent on him, she quickly became one of his major fans. She became an authoritative figure in Blakely’s fan group. Two days ago, an adapted web drama Blakely Shelton starred in, ‘In Your Arms’, was broadcast on Goose TV…It received excellent r
Some of these people got into this fandom even earlier than Jenny Armstrong.They were all people who accompanied Blakely Shelton from the time he was not famous until now.Their love for him was real…“Blakely… Blakely’s going to transfer to another school, did you guys know?”“???”“Where is he transferring to? Ahh…”“I only know that he’s transferring, but I’m not sure where to exactly… That’s because the security at his current school isn’t good enough… There are always paparazzi sneaking in… That’s why… He needed to transfer.”“Where did you get the news from? Is it reliable?”“It’s just gossip… But I feel 80% certain that it’s real… After all, the school Blakely is in now really isn’t okay for him…”Jenny quietly read the messages in the group. After that, she slowly locked her phone and looked up at the starry sky.Right then, her father walked out of the house with a solemn expression on his face.He walked over to Jenny, stood next to her, and looked up at the starr
“Would I have been able to pick up your call so quickly if I were asleep?” Georgie Clementine said.“That’s true… Anyway, I’ve talked to my parents about us. They will think about it… So you don’t have to worry…” Henry Armstrong said.“Did the conversation go well? Did you lose your temper?” Georgie asked.On the other end of the call, Georgie was standing in front of a huge French window. She drank red wine while looking out at the night scenery.She had just bought this place…It was a two-story villa in the suburbs.Right then, Georgie was in her bedroom on the second floor.From here, she could clearly see her brightly lit garden below…“No, I just made my point of view clear… I expressed my undying love for you…” Henry lied.“Are you sure it was that simple?” Georgie sounded a little doubtful…“It’s true. It’s mainly because my father isn’t someone to get into arguments. He’s quite a rational man…” Henry said.There were many things Henry didn’t want Georgie to find out
After saying that, Jenny Armstrong glanced at her father, who was next to her. She gave him an awkward smile.Jenny’s father shook his head helplessly. After that, he turned around and returned to the house.“Jenny… You are my wonderful sister… Truly impressive… I’ll give you a thumbs up…” Henry Armstrong was thrilled right now.This was such a massive turn of events!Initially, Henry was already prepared to cut off all ties with his family.In fact, he already planned how his future would turn out…However, to his surprise, those preparations weren’t needed anymore.Weren’t he and Jenny too fantastic?“Brother… About that… Could you introduce me to Georgie when you have the time?” Jenny asked with interest.She was genuinely fond of Georgie Clementine…Georgie was both remarkable and awesome…The way Georgie yelled at Jenny’s mother when the latter was being unreasonable impressed Jenny significantly.“Can I ask her about it later?” Henry said.“Sure… I’m interested in Ge
Georgie Clementine met Jenny Armstrong once at a shopping mall…Georgie had a very deep impression of Jenny.Apart from mistaking Jenny as one of Henry Armstrong’s many girlfriends, it was more so because Jenny looked really pretty.Jenny looked just like a doll…Georgie found it difficult even when she had only seen Jenny at a single glance.“Hmm… You have no idea how much effort she put in… This time, we have to thank her properly,” Henry said.“You and your sister have a really good relationship…” Georgie complimented.“Of course. We’ve been very close since we were kids. But, most importantly, our age gap is huge. I’m twenty-nine this year, but she’s only eighteen…“With an age gap of eleven years, I’ve always taken care of her like she is my daughter… Meanwhile, she has also been very close to me because I’ve been especially good to her since we were kids…“Oh, right. Jenny said she wants to meet you. She’s very interested in you…” Henry added.“Sure… You can arrange the
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.
