Revenge of the Hideous Lady Chapter 120
After that, the group stood up together to toast with the newlyweds. Emily had first held her glass to Jeremy. Yet, before her glass had touched his, Jeremy immediately retrieved his glass and finished his wine with a dark expression. After that, everyone else lifted their heads and finished their wine. Emily was not surprised by her father’s reaction. It was already good enough that he was willing to cooperate and attend today’s wedding to maintain the Quest family and Sullivan family image. Hence, she did not expect him to be friendly toward her at all. She knew full well that she and her mother still had a huge battle to fight after this. Emily put her glass down but showed no intention of leaving immediately. She turned to Xyla and asked, “Sister, where is my brother-in-law? Didn’t you say he would attend my wedding with you?” “Xyla, I wanted to ask you as well. Why isn’t your husband here?” Jeremy asked. Although he seemed unbothered, he was actually annoyed that the

Suddenly, the whole world had decided that Xyla Quest’s husband was an ugly man. “What a pity. It’s like a fresh flower on cow dung.” “I always assumed that someone like Xyla Quest would definitely marry an elite, wealthy, and handsome man.” “Tsk tsk tsk, I heard that her husband is so ugly that he’s not presentable. He even has an insignificant status! Tsk tsk tsk… Is Xyla’s brain alright? Why does she have to defile herself this way?” “What’s the use of having better looks than Emily? Her husband isn’t as good as Emily’s, and it’s really a pity.” Many people started pointing fingers at Xyla. Even if they have toned it down a lot, Xyla could still see them clearly. In an instant, she felt like she was a clown who had simply thrown her life away in the crowd’s eye. However, Xyla remained unfazed. She looked down at the time quietly as if the people around her were transparent. Although half an hour had passed since the appointed time, she was not worried that he would

The commotion at the door immediately attracted everyone’s attention. Just then, behind Emily, Fanny had received a call, so she quickly returned to the dressing room. Soon after, Stanley Batton’s strikingly tall and aloof profile entered everyone’s vision. His lush short black hair was combed back loosely; his features were perfectly defined and flawless. The crisp white shirt was paired with a tailor-fitted dark blue suit making his figure look exceptionally remarkable. In an instant, the surroundings seemed dull. The man had a strong and pressuring aura as he stood there like a monarch. By now, all the women present had become fans of his appearance. “Ah! I’m dying! Which family does that guy belong to? That face is too handsome to be human.” Mary stared dazedly at him as she kept fawning. “If he’s not a celebrity, he must be the young master of a dignified family! I totally dig that face. I must get his WeChat contact later.” Lucy was entranced. “No, that man is

“Such a handsome person, how is he not presentable? He’s even more handsome than Tom.” “Mary was just rambling on how ugly Xyla’s husband was, but now she’s throwing herself at him instead. Isn’t she just shooting herself in the foot?” Suddenly, many people started discussing the newcomer and how they were dissing his appearance before. The moment these words entered their ears, Emily, Mary, May, Emily’s aunt, and five of Emily’s bridesmaids felt like they had been slapped hard in the face. They all wanted to bury themselves in the ground! Emily’s aunt immediately gasped before dragging her husband along and fled. Mary, too, turned and ran. She was too embarrassed to stay here any longer. As for Tom, he was now seething with anger. He had thought that Xyla’s husband was really not ugly, but now he realized how wrong he was. The man was more handsome than he was… Who knew that Xyla would still have luck with men even after leaving him. However, he was still reluctant

Tom was defeated in no time. He frowned in pain and loosened his grip first. Then, Stanley quietly let him go before placing an arm around Xyla and sitting down. Tom secretly shook his hand behind his back. He dared not show just how much it hurt in fear of embarrassing himself. However, Emily had no intention of letting things end here. Even if her brother-in-law had passed in the looks department, there was still the occupation section! The man might even be a gigolo at a night club! She quickly turned to Stanley and said, “Brother-in-law, my sister tells me you study in traditional medicine. Help my aunt check her pulse… She’s been feeling lethargic lately, and we don’t know what’s wrong.” After, Emily shifted her gaze to her aunt sitting at the next table and gave her a signal. Emily’s aunt immediately nodded. “Right, right. I keep feeling tired lately and sleepy. I don’t even have a good appetite.” After that, the older woman brought a chair over, squeezed in between

After a simple feel of her pulse, Stanley said, “Your menstrual cycle is severely irregular. You must have taken a lot of medicine, haven’t you? But none of them worked.” “Yeah…” Heather started nodding ceaselessly. “Is there any way to treat this?” This irregularity in her menstrual cycle had started a little after her first period. It had not been treated until now, and she had visited many doctors. “Ten grams of angelica Sinensis, five grams of ligusticum striatum, ten grams of herbaceous peony root, ten grams of Rehmannia root, ten grams of ginseng, ten grams of atractylodes, ten grams of Poria, five grams of roasted licorice roots, ten grams of astragalus, and three grams of cinnamon. “Boil them and consume the liquid for two to three times a day… You’ll just have to take this for a month,” Stanley said calmly. Xyla relaxed and smiled. If memory served her right, she never taught him this prescription, and it was not on the books she gave him. It looked like he had p

The affectionate interactions between a handsome man and a beautiful woman made everyone envious. Without having to do anything, they had attracted everyone’s attention just like that. Looking at how compatible both of them were, Jeremy was delighted. The stuffiness in his heart had immediately faded away. His eyes were filled with approval as he looked at them. Vrrt, vrrt, vrrt. Just then, Stanley’s phone vibrated. Upon seeing the words ‘Zack Cassidy’, he grabbed his phone and strode out of the ballroom, attracting countless gazes of adoration on the way out. However, the man remained apathetic like there was no one around him at all. After exiting the door, he leaned against the window and answered the call. “Fifth Master, I have a few documents that require your attention.” “Send it to my email,” Stanley answered coldly before swiftly hanging up and placing the phone back into the inside pocket of his suit. Just then, Tom came over. He stopped in front of S

“You…” Tom was exasperated. God knows where this rascal got his courage from! Stanley said nothing else but made his way back into the ballroom like Tom was invisible to him. The feeling of being ignored irritated Tom even more. “Even if you don’t agree, I’ll still snatch Xyla back,” Tom declared domineeringly as he stared at Stanley’s back. So what if the man was more handsome than he was? Other than his face, nothing else of his could compare to Tom. Moreover, no matter how heartless Xyla behaved, he had faith that Xyla still had feelings for him deep down inside. She was only just temporarily blinded. If Tom persevered, Stanley Batton would be no match for him. Stanley paused, mildly raising his eyebrows once more but never turning back. “Delusional.” On the other side of the wall, Emily had heard everything clearly. Her hands balled into fists. Although she had always known the answer to many of her problems, hearing it with her own ears still shocked her and ma

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
