Chapter 1672
There was a saying that poor people would be ignored, while rich people would be approached by the most distant of relatives. Annabeth Cates could finally relate to this.Back when they were poor, very few people visited them during festive seasons apart from close relatives…On top of that, very few people would take the initiative to call and ask them how they were doing.People did anything to avoid them…That was because they were poor. Hence, everyone was afraid that they would try to borrow money from them.Now that Annabeth was in a relationship with Josh, everyone felt that she had gotten rich. All of them wanted to get closer to her family now…At this moment, Annabeth couldn’t help but sigh at how materialistic people were.Up until now, she still couldn’t forget the condescending looks on her relatives’ faces when her parents went for family gatherings.Annabeth also couldn’t forget how her ex-classmates looked down on her when she joined them at reunion parties.Ov

There were a total of over twenty of them… As soon as they entered, the already cramped living room became even more cramped…Annabeth Cates felt a little lost when she saw such a spectacular scene.When the Batton family saw so many people outside, they couldn’t eat anymore.They immediately put down their dining utensils and walked into the living room to greet those people.Meanwhile, those people started offering all sorts of crazy compliments when they saw the Batton family.In fact, every one of them claimed to be the person who adored Annabeth the most.Sharon Lindt, Wilson Batton, and Josh Batton knew what was going on. However, they didn’t put their thoughts into words.“Josh… My daughter really likes you. She asked me to get your autograph for her. Could you help me out?” one of Annabeth’s distant uncles asked carefully as he looked at Josh.Josh nodded.“Oh, Annabeth… You’re really lucky. I’ve always said that you have great luck. You don’t look like someone who’d

Sharon Lindt and Wilson Batton left with some bodyguards, leaving fifty of them behind to protect Josh Batton and Annabeth Cates.After sending Sharon and Wilson off, Josh brought Annabeth and Peggy Howards back upstairs.Meanwhile, the bodyguards took turns to patrol downstairs to protect Josh and the others.Josh, Annabeth, and Peggy had only just returned to the house when they suddenly heard people screaming downstairs.“Josh… We love you…”“Ahh… Is Josh inside?”“Ahh… Josh, Josh…”Clearly, these were Josh’s desperate fans.Josh and Annabeth had met too many like them. They had gotten used to it.Although this was the case, the two of them still felt speechless.Meanwhile, this was the first time Peggy experienced something like this. She felt thoroughly speechless.Peggy quickly walked over to the window and looked outside.Six young, well-dressed girls came into sight.Right then, all of them were looking up at their building.Each of them was screaming crazily.“J

“I’ll come with you,” Josh Batton said when he heard this. He naturally grabbed Annabeth Cates by the waist. He was extremely gentle with her.Seeing how gentle Josh was made Peggy Howards feel even more secure.“You’d better not. Although those desperate fans have been ushered away, it’d be very troublesome if you get recognized out there.“As for me, they don’t know me that well. As long as I disguise myself properly and keep a low profile, they probably won’t recognize me,” Annabeth added.“Don’t worry. We have bodyguards… Get ready. We’ll head out together,” Josh said before picking up a black cap on the coffee table. He then put it on before wearing his face mask and shades while walking toward the door…Peggy wanted to allow them to spend more time together. Hence, she didn’t plan on going with them.She merely smiled at Annabeth. “You two go ahead… I’ll wait for you at home.”“Alright…” Annabeth nodded.After that, Annabeth quickly put on her face mask, sunglasses, and c

“I did think of ways to deal with it, but nothing worked. Unfortunately, in the world we lived in, my cousin-in-law is much too powerful…” Annabeth Cates added.To those who are very powerful, many things are a walk in the park.However, for people like Annabeth and her family who were poor, those things were huge obstacles.To Josh, Annabeth’s cousin was a nobody.However, to Annabeth’s family, he was someone untouchable in the past.Only god knew how much Annabeth’s family had suffered because of her cousin-in-law.“My cousin-in-law even beat my cousin’s little brother and broke his leg. For that reason, my cousin was blamed by her parents. Her parents have not cared about her since…“Do you know why they blamed my cousin? When they first started dating, my cousin’s parents could already tell the man had a bad temper. So they didn’t want my cousin to be with him.“But there was no way my cousin would listen to him when she was so madly in love. So she ignored their warning an

“A pregnant woman shouldn’t consume these things… It’s not healthy,” Josh Batton said.However, Annabeth Cates looked pitifully at Josh. “Can’t I have it just once? I haven’t had it for a few months now. I really miss it,” she said softly.Seeing how pitiful Annabeth seemed, Josh’s heart softened. “Is it that good?”Annabeth nodded. “They are the best skewers in the world,” she said.“Fine… You can have them,” Josh said.After that, Josh casually held her hand, and their fingers interlocked. Then, he steered with his other hand. “Where is it? Lead the way…”“Turn left at the junction further ahead. There’s a small neighborhood known as Whittingham. Once we reach the neighborhood, the store will be in there,” Annabeth said.“Alright,” Josh said.Josh followed Annabeth’s directions, and they soon arrived at the store in Whittingham.The black Bentley and a few Mercedes-Benzes as well as BMWs stopped in front of the neighborhood’s entrance.Outside the small, run-down neighborho

The bodyguards surrounded them closely.The human wall around Josh Batton and Annabeth Cates was already solid enough. On top of that, each of them stood at 190 centimeters tall. Hence, the boss and his wife, as well as the two young women sitting nearby, couldn’t see what the two of them looked like at all.The boss was very quick at roasting the meat.It took him only slightly over ten minutes to roast all the meat on the skewers.Once he was done, he smeared his restaurant’s special sauce on the meat before sprinkling cumin and chili flakes over it.By the time the skewers were ready, the two young women had paid and left.Annabeth and Josh were the only customers left in the exterior dining area.Their bodyguards stood right next to them, and it made one feel pressured.Annabeth saw that the time was late, and there weren’t many people around. She then looked at the bodyguards. “You don’t have to keep doing this. Go and rest by the side…”The bodyguards nodded respectfully
Chapter 1679
When Josh Batton and Annabeth Cates made it to the main road, they suddenly heard people screaming in front of them. “Ahh… Josh Batton… That person looks a lot like Josh…”The two of them subconsciously looked in the direction where the sound came from.They could see three young ladies standing on the path in a small garden.There was a streetlight above their heads.Under the light, their shocked and excited expressions could be seen clearly.“Ahh… I think that’s him. Ladies, let’s go…”“Ahh… It really does look like him. I’m going mad. Ahh…”They sounded extremely excited…Neither Annabeth nor Josh expected to see this…Firstly, the road was far too dark. Neither of them noticed anybody around.Secondly, they didn’t think anybody would still be out this late.Those three girls were very close to them.Soon, they ran up to Josh and Annabeth.When they saw Josh’s face, they became even more excited…“Ahh… Josh… It’s really you. Why would you come to our neighborhood?”“
