“Yes,” Leon Batton answered while looking straight at the camera without further explanations.His seemingly unintentional response instantly elicited a commotion from the audience.Many female fans lost control of their emotions as screams erupted across the stadium—“Oh my god! He has feelings for someone already! I’m truly envious of that girl!”“I wonder who she is. How lucky is she to be liked by someone like him?”“Ahh! I’m so jealous! S, I worship you! How could you like another girl?”Leon knew exactly what his female fans were reacting to, but he could care less.The pretty emcee next to him also seemed noticeably disappointed at his answer despite her unwavering smile. “How old is she? What does she do?”“We’re the same age. I can’t give you any further details,” he said firmly while glancing casually at the camera.He wondered if Hannah Roland was watching and if she was paying attention to him.“Have you confessed your feelings to her?” she asked in curiosity.“

Hannah Roland was envious of that girl.She knew nothing could ever happen between her and Leon Batton, and they might not even talk to each other again, but it still felt awful.That girl had what she constantly thought about and wanted.Hannah calmed herself down by taking a deep breath before steeling herself to be strong and gazing at Leon through the screen. “Leon, I wish you nothing but happiness. I hope you can always be with the girl you like,” she murmured and then proceeded to lock her phone.Knock, knock, knock—Three rapid knocks came upon her door a second before her mother stormed in with a stern look on her face.“What’s the matter, Mommy?” Hannah asked, noticing that her mother didn't seem too well. Her mother quickly stepped forward. “Hannah, I’ve been diagnosed with brain cancer. I need surgery.”Her admission stunned Hannah, who felt as if the entire world was collapsing before her.Brain cancer? That was serious.The failure rate of the surgery was high,

Hannah Roland’s heart ached upon hearing what her mother said.She felt as if the sky was crashing down on her.Her mother’s illness was much more severe than her father’s. It was very likely she would end up dying if she didn’t get the treatment as soon as possible.She might not survive even if she did receive treatment.To Hannah, her parents were the most important people in the world. She couldn’t watch her mother die without doing something.“Mom, can’t you take the money out in advance for your treatment? Can’t you negotiate with them?” she asked.Her mother shook her head. “I’ve tried, but they won’t allow it. There are rules in the contract we signed back then.”“Let me think of something," she insisted, hastily wiping her tears away. "Leave it to me. I’ll make sure you get treated. You’ll recover. You’ll survive. I won’t let you die.”Her mother shook her head after hearing this. “No, we’ve already spent our savings on your father’s treatment. There is nothing left.”

Some of them wouldn’t even give Hannah Roland an answer before hanging up rudely.She still hadn’t borrowed a single cent after calling all the classmates she was relatively close with.She couldn’t count on any of them, nor did she want to contact her relatives, who had stayed away from her family ever since they went bankrupt. The relatives acted as if being associated with them would result in significant losses.Those same relatives would show up at their house with various gifts to get close to them back when her family business was doing well. They would travel a fair distance to visit even when her house was far away in the suburbs.But now?None of them had shown up ever since her family had gone into financial trouble. None bothered to ask how they were doing.Hannah had seen how realistic this society could be.With her phone in hand, Hannah became lost in thought.Who could she look for now since she couldn’t count on any of her classmates or relatives?Right the

Hannah Roland sucked in a deep breath, her eyes landing on a handsome young man when she looked up.He appeared to be in his early twenties, exuding an aura of success and elegance.“You’re here,” he said softly.Hannah nodded slowly, her heart racing.“Come in,” he said before walking back into the room.She followed him inside, feeling extremely heavy on her feet. A few steps felt like a thousand miles to her.She hesitated and halted in her tracks as soon as she walked through the door.Sensing that Hannah was no longer following him, the man turned around and walked up to her.Closing the door with his foot, he leaned against the wall next to her as he lit up a cigarette. “I’m guessing you came to me today because you were going to agree to my suggestion, but you’re having second thoughts, aren’t you?”His family had a close relationship with Hannah’s family, and he had liked her ever since they were children.He always treated her like his future wife, but she never reci

Hannah Roland had to think of another way.What could earn her a lot of money in a short amount of time?She sat on the stairs in front of the hotel entrance while weighing her options.In the end, she considered singing at a bar.She could do that.In an exclusive bar, she’d be able to earn a few thousand dollars for a single show.She could ask the manager to pay her half a year’s salary in advance by committing to work three shifts daily for the duration without fail.Perhaps that could be a way to resolve her family's financial woes if that was the case.With this in mind, Hannah hastily searched for a nearby bar, noticing one right across from the hotel named Hilton Bar.This bar was among the highest-ranked bars in Atlantis for the past few years.If this place was hiring, she was positive she could get the job.She hurried into the crowded and lively bar.People were dancing and drinking merrily as lights flashed around them while music blasted from speakers.The am

Rihanna Jensen gave Hannah Roland a searching look after her confession. Sighing under her breath, she stood up to circle Hannah before coming to stand in front of her.“You look decent, and you’re in good shape, too. Sing me a song then,” Rihanna urged.Singing was Hannah’s forte, a talent her parents had cultivated since she was a kid. They had spent a lot of money on their daughter to enhance her artistic skills.Hannah quickly thought of a song, 'The Brightest Star'. She kept her gaze on the manager and started singing—“Can the brightest star in the night sky hear the one who’s looking up and sighing with loneliness?“Oh, can the brightest star in the night sky remember the person who used to be by my side?“I pray for a vulnerable heart and eyes that are capable of tears.“Give me the courage to believe and embrace you through the lies."She sang every line and word with genuine passion.Her voice was beautiful and powerful, like the voice of an angel.Rihanna was mesme

“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
