Soon, the helicopter arrived above Annabeth Cates’s house.Her house was in a run-down neighborhood in town.Right then, it happened to be lunchtime. So there were many people out and about.When these people heard a helicopter, they all looked at it.While everyone watched, the pilot landed the helicopter on an empty piece of flat ground in front of Annabeth’s house.Over a hundred bodyguards got out of the helicopter first…Then, they lined up on both sides of the helicopter in an organized manner.The huge formation garnered a lot of attention from the locals around the area.Peggy Howards was the first to get out of the helicopter.Immediately after that, Josh Batton and Annabeth also got out of the helicopter.Finally, it was Wilson Batton and Sharon Lindt’s turn to get out.This was the most run-down place Sharon had ever been to in her life.She couldn’t help but look around as soon as her feet landed on the ground.Everything that came into sight made her feel sorr

Peggy Howards was out of breath as she looked at the Batton family. “Are you tired?” she asked.Sharon Lindt immediately shook her head. “Not at all…”“That’s great…” Peggy said.After saying that, Peggy quickly opened the front door. “Please come in, Ms. Lindt, Mr. Batton, and Josh. Our house is small and run-down. I hope you won’t mind…” Peggy said.“Why would we?” Wilson Batton said.After that, Annabeth Cates and Peggy led them into the house.Once everyone had changed into slippers, Annabeth led the Batton family into the living room.Their house was tiny as it was only sixty square feet in total. Hence, the living room was very small.It also had a simple design, with only white paint on the walls and white tiles on the floor.Due to years of wear and tear, the tiles had already turned slightly yellowish.Sharon was taken aback by the state of the house.After looking around, Sharon sat down with Wilson and Josh Batton.Due to her busy work schedule, Annabeth hadn’t b

Although Annabeth Cates wasn’t as beautiful as her other daughters-in-law, Sharon Lindt still adored her.Sharon felt that Annabeth was a gentle and likable girl.“Let Josh do it. Don’t worry. Just stay here with me,” Sharon said as she affectionately ruffled Annabeth’s hair.“I don’t feel good that he is doing so much work. It’s his first time coming to my house,” Annabeth said.“What’s wrong with that? He should be busy on his first visit to the in-laws’ place. That would make your mother feel more secure…” Sharon said.“Alright then…” Annabeth said.“Annabeth, have you thought about taking your parents to Atlantis? They’re getting old. I think you should live closer to them… “We have many houses in Atlantis. Could we take your parents with us?“Once we’re there, your parents can pick whichever house we own… We’ll transfer the ownership to your parents later…“Medical facilities in Atlantis are better than here. Besides, you’d be closer to them. It’s easier for you to look

There was a saying that poor people would be ignored, while rich people would be approached by the most distant of relatives. Annabeth Cates could finally relate to this.Back when they were poor, very few people visited them during festive seasons apart from close relatives…On top of that, very few people would take the initiative to call and ask them how they were doing.People did anything to avoid them…That was because they were poor. Hence, everyone was afraid that they would try to borrow money from them.Now that Annabeth was in a relationship with Josh, everyone felt that she had gotten rich. All of them wanted to get closer to her family now…At this moment, Annabeth couldn’t help but sigh at how materialistic people were.Up until now, she still couldn’t forget the condescending looks on her relatives’ faces when her parents went for family gatherings.Annabeth also couldn’t forget how her ex-classmates looked down on her when she joined them at reunion parties.Ov

There were a total of over twenty of them… As soon as they entered, the already cramped living room became even more cramped…Annabeth Cates felt a little lost when she saw such a spectacular scene.When the Batton family saw so many people outside, they couldn’t eat anymore.They immediately put down their dining utensils and walked into the living room to greet those people.Meanwhile, those people started offering all sorts of crazy compliments when they saw the Batton family.In fact, every one of them claimed to be the person who adored Annabeth the most.Sharon Lindt, Wilson Batton, and Josh Batton knew what was going on. However, they didn’t put their thoughts into words.“Josh… My daughter really likes you. She asked me to get your autograph for her. Could you help me out?” one of Annabeth’s distant uncles asked carefully as he looked at Josh.Josh nodded.“Oh, Annabeth… You’re really lucky. I’ve always said that you have great luck. You don’t look like someone who’d

Sharon Lindt and Wilson Batton left with some bodyguards, leaving fifty of them behind to protect Josh Batton and Annabeth Cates.After sending Sharon and Wilson off, Josh brought Annabeth and Peggy Howards back upstairs.Meanwhile, the bodyguards took turns to patrol downstairs to protect Josh and the others.Josh, Annabeth, and Peggy had only just returned to the house when they suddenly heard people screaming downstairs.“Josh… We love you…”“Ahh… Is Josh inside?”“Ahh… Josh, Josh…”Clearly, these were Josh’s desperate fans.Josh and Annabeth had met too many like them. They had gotten used to it.Although this was the case, the two of them still felt speechless.Meanwhile, this was the first time Peggy experienced something like this. She felt thoroughly speechless.Peggy quickly walked over to the window and looked outside.Six young, well-dressed girls came into sight.Right then, all of them were looking up at their building.Each of them was screaming crazily.“J

“I’ll come with you,” Josh Batton said when he heard this. He naturally grabbed Annabeth Cates by the waist. He was extremely gentle with her.Seeing how gentle Josh was made Peggy Howards feel even more secure.“You’d better not. Although those desperate fans have been ushered away, it’d be very troublesome if you get recognized out there.“As for me, they don’t know me that well. As long as I disguise myself properly and keep a low profile, they probably won’t recognize me,” Annabeth added.“Don’t worry. We have bodyguards… Get ready. We’ll head out together,” Josh said before picking up a black cap on the coffee table. He then put it on before wearing his face mask and shades while walking toward the door…Peggy wanted to allow them to spend more time together. Hence, she didn’t plan on going with them.She merely smiled at Annabeth. “You two go ahead… I’ll wait for you at home.”“Alright…” Annabeth nodded.After that, Annabeth quickly put on her face mask, sunglasses, and c

“I did think of ways to deal with it, but nothing worked. Unfortunately, in the world we lived in, my cousin-in-law is much too powerful…” Annabeth Cates added.To those who are very powerful, many things are a walk in the park.However, for people like Annabeth and her family who were poor, those things were huge obstacles.To Josh, Annabeth’s cousin was a nobody.However, to Annabeth’s family, he was someone untouchable in the past.Only god knew how much Annabeth’s family had suffered because of her cousin-in-law.“My cousin-in-law even beat my cousin’s little brother and broke his leg. For that reason, my cousin was blamed by her parents. Her parents have not cared about her since…“Do you know why they blamed my cousin? When they first started dating, my cousin’s parents could already tell the man had a bad temper. So they didn’t want my cousin to be with him.“But there was no way my cousin would listen to him when she was so madly in love. So she ignored their warning an

“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

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.
