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

“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?

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

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.
