Sophie Kenwick told Xyla Quest about everything that she encountered earlier.Xyla laughed helplessly. “That internet celebrity deserved it.”“Right? She thought I was dumb. Did she think I was that easy to mess with?” After feeling content that Sophie was fine, Xyla stood up and gently ruffled Sophie’s hair. “All right, you can continue playing.”Sophie nodded obediently. “Hey Xyla, Gary seems like a nice person.”“He is. Your brother’s friends are all decent people.”“Yeah, he even said he’d give me tickets to Josh’s concert,” Sophie told her.“Do you like Josh?”“I watched his performance briefly in the car, and I instantly liked him. He’s so charming," Sophie praised. "However, it’s a shame that he got married at such a young age.”Xyla laughed. “Why didn’t you tell me that you like him? I can take you to his concert whenever you want.”“I only just found out I liked him. Gary was being nice, and I couldn’t refuse his offer to give the tickets to me, so I accepted,” Soph

“Are you there? I heard you’re a stalker.”“Welcome to Josh’s fan club. However, please love him appropriately and do not disturb him.”“Are you there? Stop bluffing. You said you’ll soon meet Josh. I’ve admired Josh for five years, yet I can only see him during concerts and at the airport. He doesn’t have any travel plans for the next few days, either, so how are you going to meet him?”Sophie Kenwick instantly turned off Weibo, not bothering to argue with these people.In the evening, Xyla Quest brought her back to a warm house.As soon as they entered, Xyla mysteriously pulled Sophie by her hand. “Soph, I have a surprise for you later.”The younger girl seemed curious. “What is it?”Xyla chuckled but didn’t answer her, leaving her feeling teased by Xyla's reaction.However, Xyla smiled and pulled her over to the couch before sitting down.“What would you like to drink?” Xyla asked.“Xyla, tell me…”“You’ll find out later," Xyla told her vaguely. "Tell me, what would you l

Sophie Kenwick nodded eagerly, unable to hide her excitement anymore. “Yes, that’s right, I like you a lot. I heard that you are holding a concert soon, isn’t that so? I’ll be there.”“Sure, if you need tickets to the concert, you can get them from Xyla,” Josh Batton replied.“I’ll be getting the tickets soon, and I won’t need her help,” she said.“Okay. Aren’t you going to invite me in?” he asked.As Josh spoke, his orange-scented cologne, accompanied by the cold wind, wafted through the air toward her once again.It made her feel at ease.She instantly stepped aside and made an inviting gesture toward Josh.He never stopped smiling as he stepped inside and changed into a pair of white slippers while hanging his coat by the entrance.Immediately after that, he closed the door and gazed at Sophie. “Let’s go and sit down,” he suggested affectionately.Sophie nodded, leading him to the couch before they both sat down.For some reason, she felt nervous in front of her idol and d

Sophie Kenwick quietly observed her idol.After a while, she opened Weibo and checked out Josh Batton’s fan sites.She saw some videos and announcements regarding Josh from those fan sites and then discovered an app called Bilibili. She then watched some videos there.Sophie put on earphones to avoid disturbing Josh and Xyla Quest as they spoke about work for a while. They were still talking when she eventually got tired of watching the videos, so she decided not to bother them.Instead, she opened Weibo and published her second post, which was the blurry picture she had taken of Josh.She also added a line of text. “Seeing Josh in person, and he is such a nice guy. Indeed, he’s my idol.”As soon as this Weibo post was published, countless fans of Josh's became aware of it, and they began flooding the Weibo post with comments.“Hmm, could you be any more fake? Did you think you could use a blurry picture like that to fool others?”“It must be fake. How disgusting, you’re such a

Immediately after, Sophie Kenwick told Josh Batton about her Weibo experience earlier.He raised his brows slightly when he heard this. “I’d like to apologize to you on their behalf.”“Forget it, this has nothing to do with you,” Sophie said.Josh didn’t say anything further and directly opened his Weibo page.Xyla Quest swiftly sat down next to Sophie and held her hand kindly. “Don’t worry about those hateful comments online. They’re just a bunch of brainless keyboard warriors.”“Okay.”“They’ll quiet down once you post a picture of yourself with Josh later,” Xyla added.Sophie nodded immediately. “Okay, that makes sense. I just want to embarrass these keyboard warriors as they annoy me so much. "I don’t understand what’s wrong with me writing about how I feel on Weibo. It’s not like I’m causing any trouble. "I’m only publishing it on my page, so why are they criticizing and accusing me of trying to get popular?” Sophie asked.The more she thought about it, the angrier she

“Let’s be friends from now on. Give me your WeChat ID.”“Can you take a few more pictures of Josh for me?”“Is Josh next to you right now? How are the two of you related? Are you relatives?”“Please, follow me!”Sophie briefly looked through the comments, shaking her head helplessly.Soon enough, she noticed a significant increase in her followers. In the beginning, she only had two followers. Now, she had over ten thousand followers, and was still rapidly increasing.At this rate, she would end up with more than 100,000 followers by the end of the night.Sophie could see that all her new followers had Josh’s picture as their profile photos, proving that they were all his fans.She couldn’t help but feel awed by his popularity.She quickly turned to look at Josh. “Thank you for standing up for me. Your popularity is terrifying. Just because you followed me, I started gaining thousands of followers. At this rate, I might even get my account verified as a celebrity account.”Jo

“That’s a given. Look at who’s in front of me,” Sophie Kenwick said.“Pick a few nice ones and publish them on Weibo. Many people are waiting for you to share those photos, so don’t let them down,” Xyla Quest said.However, Sophie frowned and lamented, “To be honest, I don’t want to share these photos with those people. They were horrible to me earlier.”“You don't have to if you don’t want to,” Xyla said.“Forget it, I'll still share them. Look at those people. It must be tough for them. I understand how much they love their idol,” Sophie sighed.After that, she selected a few photos that looked the best and published them on Weibo in a collage of nine photographs, adding a line of text, "Here are the photos you wanted. Don’t yell at me anymore.”Within seconds, comments flooded her Weibo post—“Ahh! Josh is so handsome!”“Are these original pictures? They aren't photoshopped, are they? Josh looks fantastic.”“Your photography skills are excellent! Are you a professional phot

Stanley Batton wore a gray turtleneck sweater under a long black woolen coat, with a pair of black pants and black leather shoes.His hair and shoulders were covered in unmelted snow, but he still managed to look cool and dignified.Just one look was enough to make Xyla Quest’s heart pound.Stanley carried a sizable paper bag sporting a logo belonging to his wife's favorite bakery.Xyla immediately cheered up when she saw it. “Honey, did you buy me a cake?”Stanley grinned with an indescribably gentle look in his eyes. “Yes.”He quickly removed his coat and changed into slippers before placing the bag on the coffee table.Stanley sat down beside Xyla, naturally extending his arm to pull Xyla into his embrace.“How was your day? Are you tired?” he asked softly.Everything about him seemed soothing and warm.Josh had long gotten used to this, and so had Sophie.Xyla felt warm in her heart. “No, I’m not tired.

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.

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.
