“Firstly, you don’t look like a con artist. I believe I can trust you. Secondly, you’re very loyal to your parents. People like you have good character. You don't break your promises easily."Thirdly, you seem confident, and I like confident people. I’ve never met anyone who would dare to say they can bring in huge crowds as soon as they walk in here,” Rihanna Jensen said.She admired this gentle-looking and pretty girl. She sensed a lot of potential in Hannah Roland.“Thank you, thank you,” Hannah expressed gratefully while repeatedly shaking her hand.Rihanna was her savior.Getting the money in advance meant her mother could get her illness treated.The pretty manager smiled and stopped her. “All right, all right. Let's not get carried away. I’m only paying your salary in advance. I’m not donating the money to you. You don’t have to thank me like this.”Hannah shook her head at that. “No, that’s a huge deal already. Nobody else would be willing to do that. After all, I’m a co

Hannah Roland’s mother was touched by what she heard, but she also felt deeply remorseful.She regretted telling Hannah about her circumstances.She hadn’t thought things through, she felt.If she hadn’t said anything and just died quietly on her own, Hannah wouldn’t have been like this.She broke down crying the next second, shaking her head repeatedly and murmuring as she cried. “Hannah, I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault. I’m useless. Please don’t do this, Hannah, okay?Nevertheless, Hannah had a determined look in her eyes. “All right, stop talking about this. I’ve already made up my mind. Besides, the money is in my account already, and I’ve also signed the contract. It’s not something I can regret and change my mind on.“The compensation I have to pay for terminating the contract goes up to several million dollars. Do you think I can afford to break it?” Hannah asked, continuing to lie to stop her mother from going on.“Give me your friend’s phone number. I’ll try to convince

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.

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

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
