Although Annabeth Cates knew that she would soon meet Josh Batton’s parents, she didn’t think it would happen this suddenly and this soon.She still felt nervous.Would Josh’s mother, Sharon Lindt, like her?Would it unfold like how it does in idol dramas?For example, would Sharon bribe her with a lot of money to leave Josh?Annabeth hoped not.The fact that Sharon bought clothes for Annabeth should mean that she didn’t dislike Annabeth.Right then, Annabeth suddenly had a lot of questions on her mind.She unintentionally became tense.When Josh saw her like this, he naturally knew what she was thinking.Josh naturally embraced her. “Alright, don’t worry. My mother won’t eat you. She knows you’re pregnant, and she couldn’t be happier about it…”“Really?” Annabeth was pleasantly surprised.“Yeah… Haven’t I told you about my mother? She’s a child at heart. She’s very approachable, and she doesn’t care who her children marry,” Josh said.“No, I should say that she doesn’t ca

After carefully going through each attire, Annabeth Cates finally put on a white cardigan dress…The dress had a white belt with Gucci’s logo on it.Annabeth looked much classier when she wore an international brand.Not only that, but her physique appeared better too…When Annabeth looked up, she saw how her waist was thin and her legs were long. Somehow, she had a noble aura.After making sure her outfit was fine, she carried the skincare products and cosmetic goods into the bathroom. After washing her hands at the spotless basin, she put on contact lenses.The contact lenses Sharon Lindt had brought were black, beautifying lenses. The moment she put them on, she suddenly felt as if her eyes had been enlarged…After that, Annabeth quickly smeared on a few layers of high-class skin care products.Once she was done, she used a beauty blender to put on a thin layer of high-quality liquid foundation.Annabeth then applied powder upon her face before fixing her eyebrows, eye shad

From behind, Sharon Lindt and Josh Batton didn’t look like mother and son at all. In fact, they looked more like a couple or siblings.Annabeth Cates really liked her future mother-in-law.Sometimes, human relationships were strange.Fate might have played a part. Sometimes, one would instantly like another person despite meeting them for the first time. However, the contrary also held true.Undoubtedly, it was the former for Annabeth when she met her future mother-in-law.Perhaps, it was because Sharon was a very approachable person. As a result, Annabeth didn’t feel so nervous anymore.With a smile on her face, Annabeth walked over and sat across from Sharon and Josh. Then, she started pouring tea for the two of them.Meanwhile, the game was getting intense. Sharon and Josh hadn’t noticed what Annabeth was doing at all.However, Annabeth didn’t mind.She also played League of Legends, and she knew very well that this was normal when one was playing.Soon, Sharon led Josh to

“Ms. Lindt, you flatter me. I’m the lucky one to be part of a family, like yours…” Annabeth Cates said softly.“You’re such a modest and kind child. I like you a lot,” Sharon Lindt said.“Since you and Josh have decided to get married, I’ll tell you what we expect from you…” Sharon said.“Sure, go ahead… I’m all ears.” Annabeth subconsciously sat up straight to listen carefully.Sharon instantly laughed. “Our expectations… There are actually none…”“Huh?” Annabeth was stunned.“We don’t ask anything of you. You don’t have to stay with us. After getting married, you can have an independent life together. We won’t get too involved with you…“Our only request is that you two can regularly come home to have meals with my husband and me.“It would be great if you could accompany me to shop frequently,” Sharon added.When Annabeth heard this, she liked her future mother-in-law even more.She knew that the Batton family adored their daughters-in-law.However, Annabeth thought that

Usually, the mother-in-law was the one who would have expectations toward her daughter-in-law. For example, the daughter-in-law would be expected to treat the husband in a certain way.This was the first time Annabeth Cates saw a mother making so many requests for her son before her future daughter-in-law.Annabeth truly felt that her future mother-in-law was unique.“I know. Thank you… Ms. Lindt,” Annabeth said.“Oh, right. I haven’t properly introduced myself… My name is Sharon Lindt. As you know, I’m Josh’s mother…” Sharon quickly extended her hand to Annabeth.Annabeth shook her hand. “I’m Annabeth Cates…”“Oh, right. Annabeth, what are your plans on managing your joint finances after the two of you get married?” Sharon asked.Annabeth was a little stunned. She hadn’t thought about this at all. “I haven’t thought about this…”“It doesn’t matter… You’ll have to be in charge,” Sharon said before turning to look at Josh. “Did you hear me?” she asked.Josh nodded obediently. “

“That’s for sure. You’re a top-notch celebrity… There are already so many people talking about you in the middle of the night, let alone during the day.” Annabeth Cates felt even worse when she thought about that.However, at this point, feeling awful wouldn’t help with anything. She could only deal with things as they came.Everything would depend on the company’s management and arrangement for what happened next.After taking a deep breath, Annabeth tried to enter Weibo again.This time, however, it worked…Weibo seemed even more active than it was during the night.Topics related to Annabeth and Josh Batton occupied nearly the entire list of hot topics.Moreover, each topic had the word ‘explosive’ behind them.Annabeth had never seen anything quite as extreme as this.What was a nationwide phenomenon?This was probably it.Through the list of hot topics, Annabeth could already guess what Josh’s fans were talking about.Apart from unfollowing Josh, some of his fans also

Many people who had never personally approached Annabeth Cates before suddenly reached out to her.Many of her colleagues who used to take hours to reply to her texts had also changed their attitude. They were quick to respond now.Annabeth learned the harsh truth of reality through this incident.There were too many people’s text messages for her to respond to. Hence, she decided not to reply to any of them. Instead, she closed WeChat and continued to browse through Weibo…Back on her Weibo profile page, she saw a lot of posts shared by marketing accounts. These were from Josh’s fans.The Weibo posts were all their genuine thoughts and feelings—“While I’m still troubled about buying Josh’s concert ticket, you already have him all to yourself. I’m truly envious of you. Please take good care of Josh for the rest of your lives together…”“I can’t bring myself to wish you happiness, Josh, but I can’t bring myself to stop being your fan either. That’s because it’s impossible to lik

“Go ahead…” Annabeth Cates looked seriously at Sharon Lindt’s face. She then picked up a meat bun and placed it on Sharon’s plate.“Thank you, Annabeth. I only wanted to ask when your parents would be free. I’d like to drop by and visit them,” Sharon said.“My parents are both retired. They’re free all the time. But you don’t have to go through all that trouble. I can return home to pick my parents up. We’ll just meet in Atlantis…” Annabeth said.Coincidentally, Annabeth also wanted to bring her parents over to spend time with her.“It’s not troublesome at all. Wherever it is, I could get there within minutes with a private helicopter. Tell me then. Where is your house?” Sharon asked.“We live in a small district. It’s called Belleville,” Annabeth said.“Alright… In that case, let your parents know that we’ll visit them the day after tomorrow. My husband and I both happen to be free then,” Sharon said.“Okay…” Annabeth nodded.Annabeth was going to call her parents to tell them

That meant this wasn’t a dream. It was real!Hannah felt even more dumbfounded…This meant Leon actually liked her!

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

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?

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.

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.

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.
