The bodyguards surrounded them closely.The human wall around Josh Batton and Annabeth Cates was already solid enough. On top of that, each of them stood at 190 centimeters tall. Hence, the boss and his wife, as well as the two young women sitting nearby, couldn’t see what the two of them looked like at all.The boss was very quick at roasting the meat.It took him only slightly over ten minutes to roast all the meat on the skewers.Once he was done, he smeared his restaurant’s special sauce on the meat before sprinkling cumin and chili flakes over it.By the time the skewers were ready, the two young women had paid and left.Annabeth and Josh were the only customers left in the exterior dining area.Their bodyguards stood right next to them, and it made one feel pressured.Annabeth saw that the time was late, and there weren’t many people around. She then looked at the bodyguards. “You don’t have to keep doing this. Go and rest by the side…”The bodyguards nodded respectfully

Ladies, let’s go…”“Ahh… It really does look like him. I’m going mad. Ahh…”They sounded extremely excited…Neither Annabeth nor Josh expected to see this…Firstly, the road was far too dark. Neither of them noticed anybody around.Secondly, they didn’t think anybody would still be out this late.Those three girls were very close to them.Soon, they ran up to Josh and Annabeth.When they saw Josh’s face, they became even more excited…“Ahh… Josh… It’s really you. Why would you come to our neighborhood?”“

Josh Batton’s fans were very passionate, but they knew their boundaries.They carefully took a few pictures with Josh and Annabeth Cates before bidding farewell and leaving reluctantly.Meanwhile, Josh and Annabeth saw them off and departed from the neighborhood together.After leaving the neighborhood, they returned to Annabeth’s house.The moment they walked into the house, Annabeth’s phone started ringing.A news article was published on Weibo. “Annabeth and Josh showed up in Whittingham, Belleville, for skewers.”Annabeth didn’t expect news to travel so fast.After all, it was already quite late at night.When she tapped on the news article, she saw a screenshot of a few group photos of her with Josh and his three female fans shared by a marketing account on Weibo.The photos came from the three girls, respectively.They all published those photos with captions that matched their excitement. “Ahh… Who would’ve guessed that we’d bump into Josh in our neighborhood?”Apart

If I were them, I would’ve knocked my head against a wall.”“Josh is really handsome. He still looks good despite having his photo taken by a random person on the street…”“He’s still so striking without any makeup on and without being photoshopped. Josh, I’m sure nobody would disagree if I said you are the most handsome person in the entertainment industry.”“Ahh… He’s every woman’s dream. I want to be in Annabeth’s place. D*mn… Annabeth, I’m very jealous of you. Give Josh back to me…”“I really hope Josh will have a daughter with Annabeth. I heard that daughters tend to take after their father. If that’s true, we’d have another beauty in the world.”The fans’ words were all laden with a passionate love for Josh and jealousy toward Annabeth Cates.Although there were

Whenever Annabeth Cates looked at Josh Batton, she’d feel like she was the luckiest woman in the world.That was because she was with the man that many women desired.“What are you thinking?” Josh felt very much at ease.“Nothing… I just feel that I’m fortunate,” Annabeth replied.“Silly girl… Let’s get cleaned up for bed,” Josh said.After the shower, Josh personally carried Annabeth into the bedroom.The way he carried her like a gentleman made her feel moved again.Although Josh pampered her, it wasn’t love.After returning to the bedroom, Josh switched off the lights.After that, he placed her on the bed with the help of the streetlight outside the window.After that, he naturally walked over to the window and closed the curtains.Suddenly, the entire world became dark.In the next second, Josh found his way to the bed and lay down next to Annabeth,He then naturally held her in his arms.Living with Annabeth was much more comfortable than he had imagined.Although h

However, Josh Batton shook his head. “We won’t. It doesn’t matter if it’s a boy or a girl… We’ll find out once it’s born, right?”“Yeah, that makes sense… What do you think we should name our daughter or son?” Annabeth Cates asked.“What do you think?” Josh asked.“If it’s a girl, we’ll name her Cecelia, just like a heavenly lily. If it’s a boy, we’ll name him Dawn, in hopes that he stays forever bright like the morning sun, bringing everyone endless warmth and hope…” Annabeth said.“Okay… As you wish,” Josh said with a nod.“Do you like the names?” Annabeth asked.“Yeah. I like any name you come up with…” Josh said.Annabeth smiled happily in the dark.After that, she subconsciously placed her hand over her lower abdomen.Right then, Josh’s hand happened to be on her lower abdomen too.When she put her hand there, it happened to rest right on top of Josh’s hand.Josh naturally held her hand.These days, Josh’s heart had not stopped being restless with Annabeth close in his

Right then, Xyla Quest had a stern expression on her face. She sat on the main seat at the U-shaped conference table while listening to reports from each department head on their respective department’s recent performance.Each department seemed to have done very well.After listening to their reports, Xyla snapped her fingers satisfactorily. “Okay. If there’s nothing else, let’s call it a day…”After that, Xyla stood up and left the conference room.As soon as she walked out, Georgie Clementine called her on the phone.Xyla instantly answered the call.“Xyla, the female celebrity who recently got popular because of a school-based web drama series, Jane Fey, told me she wanted to cancel her contract a while ago. As it was a one-sided termination on her part, I said she had to pay us ten times the amount based on the contract. She doesn’t seem very happy with it, and she said she would expose us on Weibo…” Georgie said.Xyla shrugged nonchalantly as she continued walking. “Let he

If Georgie Clementine hadn’t mentioned this name, Xyla Quest would’ve forgotten all about it.This name used to represent her entire world, but now it couldn’t feel farther away.Xyla genuinely hadn’t heard about this person for a long time.She also hadn’t thought of him for the longest time.Xyla figured this was probably the reason why she found it so distant.“What is it? Of course, I remember him…” Xyla said.“He was caught doing drugs with a few women in a hotel. One of the service crew reported him to the police.“The police then went over…“And immediately arrested him. Things blew up, and his father was made aware of it.“His father was furious and decided to ignore Tom. Instead, he let the police arrest Tom. With Tom offering drugs to other people, on top of doing drugs himself, I’d guess he would be in prison for a few years at the very least…” Georgie couldn’t hide the joy in her voice.“I’m so glad that this jerk finally got what he deserved!” Georgie said.Tom

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.

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? 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.

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

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.

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.
