Revenge of the Hideous Lady Chapter 145
“From what I know, that factory manager is a greedy gambler. As long as we offer him enough money, it’s likely that he would agree to be the scapegoat for Tom,” Julian said in a serious tone.“As for the issue of Dragon Group withdrawing their investments, I’ll speak to their CEO personally to find out what was going on. I’ll try my best to convince him to change his mind. If he insists on doing so, we’ll think of other ways. Trust me, I’ll sort this out,” Julian added.Tony Sullivan was overjoyed.“That factory manager was previously your subordinate. I’ll leave this to you then. Meanwhile, I’ll personally communicate with the quality checkers in charge of those three brands,” Tony said after nodding slowly.Instead of appearing strict as he was before, Tony now looked approvingly at Julian.After all, Julian was always Tony’s primary choice to take over his position. Julian was indeed exceptional.Years ago, Tony had asked Julian to leave the company because of his disabled legs. Ton

In Tony’s opinion, the Sullivan family could not survive without Julian.In the end, Tony was more confident in Julian than in Tom.When Tom, Emily Quest, Bailey Ronson, and Mary Sullivan heard what Tony said, they were all shocked.Emily and Tom, especially, had mixed feelings about it.Everyone knew what it meant if Tony was asking Julian to return to the factory and take charge.“But Dad, you know I don’t have great mobility. Don’t act out of spite. My little brother has never performed worse than me,” Julian said with a slight frown.“I’m not discussing this with you right now. I am also not acting out of spite,” Tony said before he stomped his foot and stood up. He walked upstairs directly.“Emily, help Tom upstairs to get his wound dressed,” Bailey said coldly to Emily.Thereafter, Mary followed right behind Tony.Carefully, Emily helped Tom to get up.“Let’s go, Brother Sullivan. We’ll get back to our room first,” she said.“Tom, once all this is done and dusted, I’ll persuade D

Xyla Quest was truly cruel!Even if Emily Quest was never nice to her, they were still sisters. How could Xyla do such things?Emily’s words were like spikes being stabbed against Tom Sullivan’s mind.All of a sudden, his world had been turned upside down.Is this all true? Tom wondered. He felt deeply annoyed and hateful.“Alright. Stop talking. I need some silence,” Tom said before making his way upstairs in a tired manner.Although the wound on his forehead was still bleeding, he completely ignored it. He was deeply confused by his own emotions.If what Emily said was true, wasn’t Xyla too cruel? How could she do this to him when he still cared so much about her?Emily quickly followed him and held his arm affectionately.“Brother Sullivan, walk slowly. Wait for me. I’ll come with you,” Emily said.Tom felt greatly annoyed.Now that Emily was getting close to him, he felt even more annoyed.Tom frowned coldly before heartlessly pulling his arm away. He then took quick strides upstai

“Xyla, you b*tch! I won’t be defeated by you this easily. Just you wait!” Emily murmured coldly to herself. The bright crystal lights above her made her eyes glare with hatred.At the moment, Emily could not help but think about how Xyla and her husband had stolen the limelight during her wedding today.Emily’s heart ached at the thought.For as much as Emily suffered today, it was in equal proportion to which Xyla enjoyed herself. In fact, Xyla was probably the highlight of the wedding.Up until now, Emily still did not understand why Xyla would choose to hide her husband if he was this handsome and was so good in the medical field.If things were exactly as Xyla mentioned, was Xyla only afraid that their father would be upset at her for making the decision to get married on her own? Was that why she intended to slowly reveal the truth to their father?Or was there something else Xyla was hiding?Emily felt that something was amiss.Was the handsome medical professional really Stanley

Right then, the door to the last room at the end of the walkway was opened.Julian Sullivan appeared in his wheelchair.Dressed in white pajamas, his fair skin seemed almost jade-like. It was as if his elegance was a quality he was born with.When Julian came out from his room, he witnessed Tom being taken away by the police officers. Julian immediately narrowed his eyes and stopped wheeling himself forward.Emily Quest saw Julian the moment she turned around.Julian quickly showed a cheerful expression.“Little sister, what happened to Tom?” He asked.Emily immediately came up with a thought before she hurried over and explained everything to Julian.“Big brother, can we keep this from your parents? If anything happens to Tom again, it would really be over for him,” Emily said.Although Emily had not interacted much with Julian, she always knew that Julian was a good brother to Tom. Ever since they were kids, Julian had looked after Tom very well.Therefore, she knew that Julian would

“Tom Sullivan was taken away by the police last night. Currently, the investigations are underway. This matter has already made the headlines. Although the police have not confirmed the allegations, the internet users have already convicted Tom of being guilty. He’s being verbally bombarded,” Georgie said while she chuckled lightly.“We didn’t even need to do anything. The matter was exposed very easily. I wonder what the Sullivan family is doing. Shouldn’t they be keeping things on the low?” Georgie added.Xyla felt equally shocked by what she heard.Logically, based on the Sullivan family’s power, it should be easy for them to hide these things from the media.During such trying times, there was no reason for the Sullivan family to allow such news to spread so quickly unless somebody else was behind it.Could it be the same person?What kind of rivalry existed between them?Regardless of how it happened, it was good news to Xyla. As long as the outcome was favorable, Xyla had no reas

Since Xyla Quest was fairly confident about her cooking skills, she did not taste the dishes after she cooked them.However, Five Batton did not say anything at the time. That must have meant the white powder was salt, right?Ding—Right then, the toaster rang. The toasts were done.Xyla immediately stopped thinking about what happened the night before while she proceeded to focus on making sandwiches for her father.Once the sandwiches were done, Xyla personally grounded some coffee beans and prepared some caramel for her father’s favorite caramel coffee. Finally, she brought all the food with her to the study.Knock, knock, knock.After knocking gently on the door several times, Xyla pushed the door open and walked in.At that moment, Jeremy was standing in front of a high-class rosewood desk while he paid full attention in writing two large calligraphic words on a long piece of white paper.“Serene heart.”A huge bookshelf, which did not have a hint of dust on it, extended across th

“Even if he were to be released from prison, I would never entrust him with any responsibilities again. What else is he capable of apart from causing a mess?!” Tony Sullivan shouted while he slammed his chopsticks on the dining table. His body was shivering with anger.Meanwhile, nobody else in the family had the courage to speak. They all had a gloomy expression on their faces.“Dad, please don’t be upset. I believe Brother Sullivan will change his ways after this incident,” Emily Quest said with trembling hands.At first, Emily thought she could keep this a secret from the rest of the family. However, it ended up being broadcasted in the media.Xyla Quest must have done this too. It must have been her!Right then, Emily was truly afraid. It really did seem like Tom Sullivan would lose his position as the family heir.If that were to happen, what would Emily do? It was a series of misfortunate events!Now, Emily’s parents were on the brink of getting divorced. If that happened, couple

Xyla quickly reached for Hannah’s hand. “Is that right? Hannah, you’re amazing…! You’re practically on par with Leon!”Hannah laughed, slightly embarrassed. “Not at all.”“Oh, cut it out. If you hadn’t helped me, how could I have improved so quickly?” Leon chuckled.“I guess I’ve lived up to my promise.” Hannah giggled along.Back then, she had promised Leon that she would become someone deserving of him.She claimed that she would grow with Leon.Without a doubt, she had done it.Now, Hannah had become a successful woman many would often speak of. She earned her rightful seat next to Leon as the CEO of Dragon Group.Stanley also turned to look at Hannah. “Yes, Hannah’s very capable. She’s our family pride.”Hannah laughed. “I was lucky to be accepted by your family.”In fact, Hannah genuinely felt grateful toward the Batton family over the years she had spent with them.They had helped her through all the hardship she encountered when she was poor and down on her luck.Aft

“Hannah, I’ve taken the first step for you. Are you willing to walk by my side for the rest of our lives?” Leon asked, serious.“Yes, I am…” Hannah answered without missing a beat.“I’ll protect you. 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. It felt as if all the flowers in the world were blossoming at once.In Hannah’s dark, depressing life, Leon was her only salvation.He was a ray of hope that led her out of hell, so she could see light once more.Hannah thought she would never have anything to do with Leon after she quit school.Even until now, she still remembered how sorrowful she was on her last day of school.But now… Not only did she get the opportunity to interact with him once more, but they also became a couple.Their driver sighed to himself while

Over time, Leon’s feelings for Hannah grew deeper, stronger, and more intense.He had grown used to having her with him all the time.Thus, he hoped she would stay by his side for the rest of his life.Upon hearing his words, Hannah’s mind went blank.What did her dream guy just say?Was she dreaming?Hannah quickly pinched her palm at the thought in an attempt to discern between dream and reality.Her palm hurt. 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. There were many things she wanted to say, and yet, she couldn’t utter a single word.Her heartbeat increased rapidly, and her entire body began to shake. Sensing her trembling body, Leon tightened his e

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

Although the sun had long sunk beneath the horizons and darkness had set in, the lively city wasn’t about to be silent anytime soon. 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. She really didn’t know what to do.Finally, she came to a decision. She took out her phone and tapped open a ride-hailing application on her phone.Yet just as she did that, she instantly closed it. 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

Hannah Roland smiled politely at Lina Cohen. “Nice to meet you… Thank you in advance!”“No problem… Do let me know if there’s anything you don’t like about your makeup too,” Lina said.Hannah nodded. “Okay, sure…”“By the way… Do all the signers here get such good treatment? 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. She took an hour to finish Hannah’s makeup.An hour later, Hannah’s appearance transformed completely.Lina permed Hannah’s long, black hair into natural-looking curls.Hannah had intricate peach-colored makeup on her face which made her appear lively and youthful.Once Lina was done with Hannah’s makeup, she happily retrieved a long, white dress from a clothes

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.
