Chapter 1374
In fact, Annabeth Cates felt that it was blasphemous of her even to have such thoughts.The woman who would be with Josh Batton in the future would surely be someone of the same stature with a fair complexion, a wealthy background, and great beauty.It wouldn’t be someone like her…Besides, Annabeth could feel that Josh liked Xyla Quest from the bottom of his heart…Josh treated Xyla differently from how he treated others…Apart from that, Annabeth accidentally saw that Josh saved many of Xyla’s photos on his phone previously.Thinking about Xyla made Annabeth feel even more self-abased.When Annabeth opened Weibo, she saw that the number one hot topic had changed again.Right then, the number one hot topic had become ‘#Josh Batton protects his assistant at the airport# Explosive’.Annabeth had guessed that scene would end up on the list of hot topics, but she didn’t think it’d happen so soon.After opening the hot topic, Annabeth saw various pictures of the instant Josh prot

Noticing how Annabeth Cates seemed to be lost in a daydream, a curious look appeared in Josh Batton’s eyes. “What are you thinking about?”Annabeth chuckled. “Nothing much…”“Are you feeling alright?” Josh asked.“Of course…” Annabeth’s smile broadened.“That’s good…” Josh said.He didn’t say anything else. Instead, after putting his phone down, he casually picked up an envelope from the pile of similar envelopes nearby and started reading intently.***At the same time, in the office of X Entertainment’s CEO…Georgie Clementine was carefully going through documents…She had gotten a new haircut.Her long, black hair was now curled up and split in a three-to-seven ratio…The tip of her hair only reached her earlobes. It made her look prim and proper.Her white body-hugging shirt matching her peach-colored, high-waist pants, and the contrast made her physique extremely attractive.The intricate makeup on her face also made her facial features appear beautiful.Buried in wo

As soon as Georgie Clementine walked in, she saw a woman wearing a black Hermes dress among the crowd.The woman also wore a black Hermes hat. She had light, intricate makeup on her face, and she wore antique, pink, diamond jewelry worth up to a hundred million dollars. Her entire body seemed to glow with beauty and nobility.The woman seemed very young…Georgie highly suspected that this was Henry Armstrong’s mother. That was because the way she dressed made her look exactly like a wealthy housewife.However, Georgie couldn’t be too sure.After all, this person seemed too young. She was probably in her forties at most…Henry told Georgie himself that his mother was in her fifties.However, plenty of rich people looked after themselves well and seemed to be in their forties despite being in their fifties.As Georgie pondered, the woman in Hermes waved at her.She waved downward, and her expression was icy. There was an aloofness about her that made it seem as if she was summon

Henry Armstrong’s mother instantly rolled her eyes at Georgie Clementine. After that, she crossed her arms in front of her chest and gave Georgie the side-eye. “Love? Don’t make yourself sound so great… Don’t you think I don’t know this act, but you don’t love him at all. Instead, you love his money… Such a fake b*tch…“If you’re a smart person, take these 300 million dollars and get lost… Forget about your little tricks. Don’t ever think that I would fall for your nonsense. I am far more experienced than you are…” Henry’s mother sneered.“Madam… Regardless of whether you believe me or not… My feelings for Henry are real,” Georgie said.“Take the 300 million dollars and get lost…” Henry’s mother added.The determined attitude of Henry’s mother convinced Georgie to give up on all her fantasies. But, unfortunately, it also shaved away all her patience.“It’s impossible to convince me to leave Henry unless he comes here and tells me to leave on his own. I’ll leave immediately if that

After returning to her office, Georgie Clementine still had a lot of pent-up feelings.Right then, Henry Armstrong’s call came in…She instantly frowned coldly and walked over to the French window. “What is it?” She picked up and asked.Due to her bad mood, her tone wasn’t pleasant either.Having lived long enough, Georgie had seen many wealthy people who are arrogant and impolite.However, someone like Henry’s mother was truly rare…Did she think she was all that great just because she had money?Although it was quite something…Did she have to look down on others like that?Did she have severe paranoia?Did she think everyone was after their family’s money?“Who made my baby upset? Why do you sound so unhappy?” Henry was trying to calm her down.“Your mother…” Georgie said.“No, wait a second… You can be angry, but can you not scold me? I didn’t do anything to you…” Henry said innocently.“A few minutes ago… I met your mother,” Georgie explained patiently. However, she

Henry Armstrong wanted to give her a heads up and tell her how he felt so that she could feel safe.“If you don’t want this to end… Go and sort things out with your family… If you can’t do it, we’ll break up…” Georgie Clementine added.“Alright, alright… I understand. Where are you? I’ll come and see you…” Henry said.“I’m at the office.” Georgie hung up right after saying that.There was an indescribable sense of annoyance in her heart.Georgie had already thought that Henry’s family might disagree with them being together when they first started dating.However, Georgie didn’t expect his family to insult her like this.For example, had Henry’s mother been a little more polite in expressing herself, Georgie would’ve been willing to stoop lower and work hard with Henry.But now, Henry’s mother had already made things very clear. Georgie had no reason to keep stooping low any longer.If things worked out, they worked out.If they didn’t… It’d be the end of the relationship.G

Henry Armstrong chuckled before quickly stepping forward to put the roses in Georgie Clementine’s arms…The roses felt heavy in her arms.After taking a closer sniff, the fragrant scent felt even stronger.“Honey, I’m sorry…” Henry said carefully.“You didn’t do anything wrong. So why are you apologizing to me?” Georgie said blandly.“I’m apologizing to you on behalf of my mother…” Henry added.“Although I don’t know what exactly she said, it must have been awful…“This is what actually happened today. Didn’t my parents return from overseas just a couple of days ago? I called them up this morning…“I was thinking of telling them about bringing you home to meet them. I asked them to decide on the time. In the end, my mother rejected me without saying anything else…“Her attitude was pretty bad. I have already guessed back then that she might contact you afterward to play the horrible scene out.“But I didn’t think it’d happen so soon… That’s why I thought of waiting until I fi

“Honey… Don’t worry. Even if I really leave my family, I won’t need you to take care of me,” Henry Armstrong said.“I have my own independently established company… I also own shares in many large, medium, and small enterprises. Apart from that, I also have my professional gaming team… As well as countless savings…“I have accumulated all these things on my own. Back when I first started as an entrepreneur, my father only gave me 100 million… I’ve returned him 100 million on top of the interest owed to him long ago… Now, everything under my name belongs to me,” Henry continued to speak.“I don’t care about these things… As long as you lower your spending standards, I can still afford to look after you for a lifetime,” Georgie Clementine said.Henry chuckled as he ruffled Georgie’s hair. “You really are different from other girls… What kind of female goddess are you?”Georgie shrugged nonchalantly. There was a curious look in her eyes. “Only… Are you really willing to go this far f
