Revenge of the Hideous Lady Chapter 2138
Annabeth Cates started reading through each Weibo post, feeling a little overwhelmed by the number of contents.She read about how celebrities cheated on or broke up with their partners. One woman had up to six different boyfriends, while another man had more than six girlfriends.It all seemed very exciting, but she began to feel uncomfortable and couldn't take it anymore at some point.By then, Josh Batton had finished cleaning up the kitchen, so he walked over to sit next to Annabeth.Seeing her staring at her phone, he immediately set it aside. “You'll strain your eyes if you keep staring at the phone. What were you looking at?”Taking a deep breath, she slowly processed what she'd seen before turning to look at Josh. “I was reading some gossip on Weibo. Are people in the entertainment industry all so promiscuous? They can have multiple partners at the same time.”Although she had seen a lot of unusual stuff in the entertainment industry, she still couldn’t help but critici

Seeing the call coming from an unknown number, Josh Batton immediately terminated the call.“Why didn’t you answer? Was it from a pretty woman?” Annabeth Cates asked jokingly.Josh ruffled her hair. “There aren’t any pretty women around me for a start, let alone after I got married.”He had never been a promiscuous man and would always keep a distance from the women around him.No matter how attractive they were, he’d make sure to keep a safe distance.After getting married, he was even more careful about this.Annabeth knew this very well.People who contacted her husband were either directors or wealthy investors. Other people rarely reached out to him.Although there were the occasional calls from women, they mostly had a one-sided crush on him. Annabeth had no idea how they acquired his number.Despite the temptations of money and women in the entertainment industry, she never had to worry that her husband would succumb to those things.She couldn’t help but laugh at the

Annabeth Cates silently embraced Josh Batton and remained silent.It was a tender moment which he enjoyed greatly, just spending time with her.He'd led a fast-paced lifestyle day and night back when he worked hard in the entertainment industry. Now that he occasionally took things slower, he found that it wasn’t too bad, either.“Besides, I need some rest, too. Do you want me to collapse from exhaustion? Can’t I take a break while you’re pregnant?” he asked.“Okay, fine.”“Annabeth, remember this. Money and fame are important, and so is status. However, nothing can compare to you and our child,” he insisted.Her heart warmed at his words. Josh was such a perfect man, and he loved her so much. What did she ever do to deserve him?They quietly embraced each other while watching tv and eating snacks. It was a peaceful time.Approximately half an hour later, the doorbell rang, prompting Josh to straighten up to open the door.Sharon Lindt and Wilson Batton were standing outside

“Yeah, I’m tired of repeating myself. I’m sure you feel the same way. I’ve bought a lot of ingredients you like, so I’ll be cooking your favorite dishes tonight,” Sharon Lindt said.“It’s fine. Mom, you and Dad must be tired from looking after the children. Let Josh do it,” Annabeth Cates urged.She knew very well how tired Sharon and Wilson Batton must’ve been lately.She didn’t want the two of them to do anything more for her.But her mother-in-law shook her head instantly. “I honestly don’t feel tired at all. The nannies are always around, so all I do is play with the children.“Besides, I won’t neglect you even if I’m tired. I’ve got to be fair,” she added.Annabeth chuckled. “I’ve never thought you were unfair, Mom. Besides, I’m not calculative about these things.”“That’s what you think, but it’s up to me what I want to do. I don’t want you to be unhappy in our family at all, do you understand?” Sharon asked.Annabeth nodded. “Okay, I get it. Thank you, Mom. However, let

The three of them stood up at the same time.Seeing that, Sharon Lindt immediately waved at her son. “You should do it.”Josh Batton nodded obediently, then headed into the kitchen while his parents sat back down to chat with Annabeth Cates.“Tell me, Annabeth, has Josh been good to you lately? You can complain to me if he’s done anything to upset you,” Sharon said.“Yeah, we’d teach him a lesson if that was the case,” her husband said.They both had eager looks in their eyes.They seemed to be waiting for Annabeth to complain about their son so that they could punish him.She laughed helplessly. “There’s nothing to complain about as he’s very good to me. I’d give him a ten out of ten for his service.”“Oh, really?” Wilson asked.“Yeah.”“I suppose Josh wouldn’t dare treat you poorly," Sharon said. "Oh, right. Annabeth, I’ve brought you some of your favorite snacks. Here, have some.” With that, she retrieved some snacks and arranged them in a row. The varieties included bee

“I'd rather you stop buying me things. I’ll buy them for myself if I need anything,” Annabeth Cates said firmly.She had already said as much numerous times, but Sharon Lindt and Wilson Batton ignored her with their reasons to do otherwise.“We enjoy buying things for you, so you have to accept whatever we give you. There's no point refusing or protesting,” Wilson declared.They had always been very generous. How could she not say anything?“But your gifts are far too expensive, and you buy them for me too often,” she protested in discomfiture.“I know you just want to be nice to me, but I still feel embarrassed,” she added.“There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. You’re part of the family, so naturally, you’d receive gifts from us. You’re like our biological daughter. As our daughter, you should accept whatever we give you,” he said.“Even so, I don't need any of this stuff,” she insisted.Right then, Sharon Lindt walked over with a tray of fresh strawberries. “That’s ridicu

“Keep Annabeth company. Got it?” Sharon Lindt told Josh Batton, gazing at him solemnly as he nodded obediently.At that moment, Annabeth Cates felt like they were treating her like a child.Holding Wilson Batton’s hand, Sharon then walked into the kitchen, leaving Josh behind to watch television with Annabeth in his arms.“I feel bad. Are you sure we don’t need to help your parents? They must be tired from all the work recently.”“You heard what they said, right? They asked me to keep you company, so they would be angry if I go in there. They’ll be even more upset if you go in there and probably yell at me,” he told her.“All right, then.”“Anyway, I’ve discovered that you're now the most important person in this house, while I’m the least important,” he said.“Do you feel disappointed?” Annabeth asked when she heard this.“Why should I feel disappointed that my parents are good to you? I’d only feel that way if the opposite were true. Like, for instance, Sebastian’s parents...

Halfway through the meal, Sharon Lindt recorded a video of the dishes, as well as Josh Batton, Annabeth Cates, and Wilson Batton.The video only lasted thirty seconds, but the footage seemed lovely with a heartwarming background.She then uploaded the video to her own Weibo account that had roughly five million followers, adding a few sentences to the post. “Seeing Annabeth happy brings me great joy. I haven’t cooked for her in a long time, so it’s a rare occasion today.”Whenever she published a post, it would reach countless followers. Within a minute of her latest post, the number of forwards, likes, and comments had already exceeded five figures.The followers began discussing excitedly—“She’s such a great mother-in-law! Sharon, I think you should rename yourself as the ideal mother-in-law.”“I suggest you write a book on how to pamper one’s daughter-in-law. Other mothers-in-law should learn a thing or two from you!”“How is Annabeth so lucky? Not only does she have a celeb
