Chapter 1628

Author: Moonlight
Suddenly, Annabeth Cates' face turned even redder.

Her barely noticeable expression said it all.

Josh Batton had gotten his answer.

Annabeth was such a good girl. There was no reason for him to let her down.

Although Josh did have to sacrifice a lot by being with her, he was willing to do it.

“It’s been decided then… Annabeth, I promise you I’ll do my best to fall in love with you…” Josh added.

Although his heart already belonged to someone else, he believed he could replace Xyla’s place in his heart with Annabeth if he tried hard enough.

At this moment, Annabeth found it hard to breathe. She was tongue-tied, and she couldn’t find the words to express herself.

Since Josh had already said those things, she had no reason to refuse him anymore…

However, she didn’t know if not refusing him was the right thing to do.

Knowing what Annabeth was thinking, Josh didn’t speak any further. Instead, he silently took his phone out and logged in to Weibo…

It must have been, right?”“Didn’t the company just deny their relationship? So why did Josh sabotage himself? Ahh… I’m dying.”“I thought Josh would never fall for a woman like this. I feel embarrassed…”“Josh, I can’t agree with this marriage… Are you crazy? Sob-sob. I want to die.”“I believe Josh’s account must have been hacked. His other half must be a beautiful celebrity or a girl from a rich family. It can’t be her…”“Oh my god! The man of my dreams has fallen in love with someone else.

They all cried painfully.“I started liking you ever since you first made your debut. I saw you grow and reach the highest point in your career. I thought you’d only get better.

    When Josh Batton saw Annabeth Cates frowning at her phone, he knew what she was looking at without even having to guess.Josh slowly entered the car before turning on the car engine. “Don’t worry. Things will be fine after we get past this hurdle…”“Your fans are unfollowing you…” Annabeth said.“Yeah, just as expected,” Josh said.Annabeth frowned deeply without saying anything. Instead, she silently opened Josh’s Weibo page.She realized that he had already lost five million fans on Weibo.In the short period that she scrolled through the hot topics, the number had already reached five million.Josh’s fans were different from other idols’ fans…Other idols would purchase fake fans to make themselves appear popular.However, Josh’s fans were all genuine fans.The company had never bought a single fan for Josh.What did losing five million fans mean?This was an inestimable loss.“You’ve already lost five million followers…” Annabeth added.Josh was still calm. “Yeah, as

    Some of those who were psychologically less resilient would also choose to unfollow Josh Batton.“What’s done is done. There’s nothing you can change, even if you’re worried. Don’t think too much. Trust in X Entertainment. Trust in me, okay?” Josh said consolingly.Annabeth Cates nodded gently…She didn’t say anything further.She was worried that Josh might feel even more uncomfortable if she said too much.“Annabeth, from tomorrow on… You don’t have to go to the office. Stay at home and rest…” Josh changed the topic.“You’re pregnant now. You should look after your body. On top of that, the fetus is also in a unique position. So you need to be even more careful… After all, something dangerous might easily happen if you miscarry…“There will definitely be a lot more reporters coming to interview me over the next few days.

    Annabeth Cates felt deeply touched once again.Suddenly, tears filled her eyes.‘Josh, you’re a very good person. I love you so much…‘Let’s be together for the rest of our lives.‘I’ll love you forever and never leave you.’ Annabeth thought.“Stay at my house tonight… The paparazzi are bound to find out where you live and look for you there.“In fact, some people might even sell that information to fans…” Josh Batton said.Annabeth nodded. “Alright,” she said.***As a safety precaution, Josh didn’t return to the house he usually stayed in.Instead, he brought Annabeth to a high-class villa he owned by the beach.The villa had three floors, and it was only a short distance away from the ocean.Annabeth often came here with Josh. Hence, she was no stranger to this place.After entering the villa, Josh switched on the lights…He then held Annabeth’s hand and led her into the living room.This villa had a minimalistic European style to its design.Sky blue and white were

    Right then, Weibo still hadn’t been fixed yet.Annabeth Cates tried several times before she finally managed to log in to Weibo…There was still a lot of discussion on Weibo’s hot topics.The ten previous topics still occupied the same spots on the list of hot topics.Annabeth Cates had over 9,999 unread messages on Weibo.When she opened her inbox, she saw that the messages were all from Josh Batton’s fans.“Tell me. What method did you use to seduce Josh? You’re shameless. Disgusting…”“You're worthless. Do you think you can become someone important by getting married to Josh?”“You must have set Josh up, right? You snuck into his bed, got yourself pregnant, and forced him to marry you. Aren’t you tired?”These spiteful comments once again annoyed Annabeth.Instead of replying, she quickly exited from the page.Right then, all the celebrities and bloggers she followed were all talking about what happened between her and Josh.The celebrities were half-heartedly offering t

    Immediately after that, Josh Batton walked in with a few bags that had luxury brands’ logos on them.Josh was wearing a dark blue, loose, V-neck shirt with a pair of long, white pants.His sexy collar bones, long neck, and perfect jawline were evident…He appeared very bright and relaxed like this.Annabeth Cates felt joyful just by watching him silently like this.“Josh… Good morning…” Annabeth said.Out of curiosity, she looked at the bags.Various female attire and undergarments came into sight…Josh smiled a little before walking up to her. He reached out and gently ruffled her bangs. “Why are you up so early? Were you unable to sleep well in an unfamiliar environment?”His voice and gaze were refreshing…“No. I just had a lot on my mind,” Annabeth said softly.“Silly girl. Didn’t I tell you already? The company and I will take care of everything… Don’t worry. The company will sort things out.“Georgie just called me a while ago. The Public Relations Department has been

    “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.

    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.
