When Annabeth Cates logged into Weibo, she noticed that she and Josh Batton appeared on the list of hot topics again, occupying the number one spot.‘#Josh Batton and Annabeth Cates chased on the streets#’Upon clicking on the topic, there were numerous posts from marketing accounts, showing videos of Josh carrying her as he ran through the shopping mall and streets.In the videos, a large number of people were following behind them as they sped ahead.Sounds of people screaming nearly drowned out everything else.From the videos, it seemed like there were even more people than they’d thought.It was a disturbing sight as she watched the videos, unable to imagine what could happen if they were really surrounded by those people.There were many versions of videos taken from different angles, but they only captured their backs and the sides of their faces.Even so, Josh still looked very handsome in them.He was like a star that shone brightly even without any editing.He still

“I still feel bad about it. I don’t want you feeling uncomfortable in any way,” Bobby Cates said.He had long thought of Josh Batton as his biological son.“But then again, I am proud that you have so many fans,” he added.Sometimes, pain and joy needed to coexist.Josh’s smile gradually widened. “Don’t feel bad. All right, let’s eat, Dad and Mom.”Bobby and Peggy Howards nodded simultaneously, their hands clasped as they returned to their seats to resume their meal.Meanwhile, Annabeth Cates continued to scroll through the list of Weibo topics, feeling bored as she browsed through other headlines but found nothing else of interest.***The next day, Annabeth and Josh took her parents on their planned vacation, spending a few days together before he flew Annabeth back to Atlantis on his helicopter to land at Atlantis International Airport.Once their helicopter came to a stable halt on a helipad, they held each other’s hands and took an elevator to the underground parking lot

Xyla Quest leaned against the wall, watching an eighteen-year-old young man dancing in the practice room from across while she spoke to Stanley Batton on the phone. “What’s up, Honey? Did you miss me?”The teenager was wearing a loose-fitting white t-shirt and a pair of loose black pants. He seemed full of youthful energy.She could see his face through the mirror, and he looked immaculate and gentle but not weak. He was an attractive young man.He reminded her of a younger Josh Batton, Xyla thought. With some grooming, he could be the next Josh.A single look was enough to catch her attention.He was mesmerizing.There were plenty of handsome men in the entertainment industry, but none of them could compare to Josh in terms of their looks.However, this young man managed to do so.Xyla had a sudden recollection of what Georgie Clementine had previously told her about discovering an eighteen-year-old teenager who had the potential to become the next Josh.Georgie had even show

“Yeah, but it means I’ve done a good job, so I ought to keep it up,” Stanley Batton teased.“Okay, I guess you can keep doing so.” Xyla Quest grinned like an idiot while she spoke, unable to identify a single flaw in her husband.His lips curled into a smile as well. “Okay. Is there anything you’d like to eat? I can buy it for you before coming over.”“No, there's nothing I want except for that milk tea from the store I frequent. Can you get some for me on the way?” she asked.“Okay, sure.”“All right, I’ve got to go. There’s something I need to sort out over here,” she told him.“Okay.”After that, Stanley hung up the phone.By then, people outside the car had begun to notice him.The women couldn’t stop staring, all seemingly captivated by him.It seemed like they wished they could pull him up against their faces.Every woman in the country seemed to desire a man like Stanley. One could even go as far as to say he was the type to be desired by every woman in the world.No

Xyla Quest could envision a huge potential in the young man to become the next big thing.Smiling, she gently patted the seat next to her. “Have a seat.”He sat down obediently, seeming stiff at first. After a moment of hesitation, he placed his hands on his thighs, looking like a wide-eyed deer lost in the woods.“Don’t be nervous. We’re only having a chat,” she said softly.“Okay," he nodded respectfully. "What would you like to chat about?”Then, he looked terrified all of a sudden. “Are you kicking me out of the company? Am I not doing good enough?”Xyla immediately chuckled and shook her head. “No, you’re great. I just want to talk to you as a friend.”He instantly sighed in relief.“Are you afraid the company might not want you?” she wondered.“Yeah. The terms offered by this company are the best in the industry, and I like being here a lot,” he answered.“Don’t worry, we are not making you leave. What’s your name?”“My name is Lukas Ronaldo,” he said after sighing in

There was no other way unless Lukas Ronaldo worked harder if he wanted to live up to Xyla Quest’s expectations.He would hate to disappoint her.He wanted to become the best version of himself and be ready for the best opportunities.He also decided to be even more cautious and remain a good person.His goal was to become an exemplary celebrity like Josh Batton, so to do that, he had to cherish the opportunity and launch his career the proper way.***Xyla returned to her office after checking on the other trainees. By then, it was already completely dark outside.Lights of green and red dotted the entire city. From afar, the city seemed to have come alive.There were still many cars on the road despite it being at night.Xyla walked over to the French windows, feeling at ease as she gazed down.After an entire day’s work, she no longer felt tense and could finally relax.Right then, someone knocked on the door, prompting her to whirl around, smiling as she looked toward her

Xyla Quest laughed. “Don’t you?”Stanley Batton gently pinched her cheek. “Why would you ask that? I’m your husband. Why would I be impatient when I do something for you?”Smiling as her heart fluttered in her chest, she sat on his lap and wrapped her arms around his neck. “That’s good. I was afraid you might get annoyed someday.”Xyla knew what it felt like to wait in line and always hated it.“I won’t. Although I’m usually an impatient person, I’m willing to wait if it’s for you,” he said.She beamed upon hearing this. “You’re so good to me.”“That’s why you should appreciate me,” he said.“You’re acting like a woman,” she said, rolling her eyes.“Am I?”“Yes, you are,” she replied, taking another sip of her milk tea. She could taste the slight sweetness in her mouth.Even the air seemed sweet at that moment.“I wonder how the kids are doing at home. Let’s go home and check on them soon,” she added.She missed her children as soon as she brought them up.Apart from her h

Some of them had plush dolls in their hands, while others held tiny bells as they entertained the happy children, making them laugh continuously.That sound of laughter was the purest thing in the world.Listening to their laughter filled Xyla Quest with so much joy she wanted to pick them up and kiss them, but she refrained. She then pulled Stanley Batton along to the bathroom to wash their hands before approaching their children slowly.Xyla reached for Lynette Batton while he carried Leon Batton.Their children were growing well, appearing to be much taller and chubbier than before. Even their skin seemed fairer.Their facial features appeared more distinct now, with both twins having similar large pupils that seemed to glisten.“Has Lynette been a good girl today? Hmm? Did you miss Mommy?” Xyla chuckled and asked as she kissed her cheek tenderly.“Hehe. Huh, ahh,” Lynette gurgled, smiling at her mother.Although Xyla couldn’t understand what her little girl was attempting

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.

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.
