Xyla Quest didn’t pay any more attention to Mary Sullivan. Instead, she slowly shifted her gaze to the bottomless pit of the mine.Frederick Shaw looked helplessly at her. “You’re very stubborn, young lady.”“I guess so,” she said.“You’ll suffer for not listening to more experienced folks,” Frederick said.“I believe in my judgment. Besides, suffering can be a blessing in disguise sometimes,” Xyla said.Frederick shook his head helplessly again.Shortly after, he began chatting with Xyla about his knowledge associated with jade mining.Due to her strong interest in the topic, she paid careful attention.While they were conversing, Mary and Cain Hollander eventually made it to the peak, hand in hand.Mary stood behind Xyla as she panted, pressing both hands against her kneecap. “I heard the experts telling you there’s nothing down there, but you still insist on digging further. Xyla, confidence is great, but being over-confident isn’t a good thing,” Mary mocked as she looked

Mary Sullivan felt annoyed by how Xyla Quest ignored her.Burning with rage, the thing Mary hated the most about Xyla was how she always seemed calm and confident.It appeared as if nothing could stir up her emotions.It also looked like Xyla was born to be in control of everything.Mary couldn’t wait to break through her calm demeanor. She would make Xyla kneel in front of her and call her 'Mommy' with no pride left in her.Annoying people like Xyla deserved to be trampled on like mud.Why should Xyla remain beautiful after so many have died?Why did everyone else have to suffer while she got the best of everything?Xyla did not deserve it!Mary was determined to bring her down today by humiliating her in front of everyone.Frederick ignored Mary and continued to chat with Xyla about their topic earlier.Xyla happened to be well-versed in natural minerals. Hence, the two of them had a fluent conversation.Frederick liked chatting with women like Xyla, who was pretty, intel

If one were to get bitten by a dog, one couldn’t possibly bite the dog in return.Approximately an hour later, Darren Green and many miners quickly returned to the mine’s entrance above.Soon, Darren directly approached Xyla Quest. “Ms. Quest, we’ve already located the spots and set up the explosives down there. We have lit the fuse, and it will blow soon.“We’ll be able to check out the situation down there after the explosion,” Darren informed her.Xyla nodded in acknowledgment.Mary Sullivan immediately chuckled. “Even if there wasn’t an explosion, I already know how Xyla will end up. I can’t wait to watch you humiliate yourself.”Xyla couldn’t be bothered to respond to Mary. She continued her conversation with Frederick Shaw.Meanwhile, Frederick also resented Mary for being such an annoying woman, choosing to ignore her as well.Although Darren seemed calm on the surface, he was worried on the inside.His exploration team had tried to explore the situation five hundred

Compared to the look of nervousness and anticipation on everyone’s faces, Xyla Quest seemed calm and composed.Seeing her that way, Mary Sullivan couldn’t resist cursing in her heart.She honestly didn’t understand why Xyla was putting up such an act.It was clear Xyla had lost, but yet she still behaved so indifferently.It didn’t matter, though. Xyla would not be able to keep up the act much longer.Darren Green’s eyes were filled with excitement and shock when he saw everyone.There was even a slight sense of fear.Mary was even more confident when she noticed his expression.She immediately approached Darren with a look of anticipation. “Is there nothing down there? Hmm?”Darren ignored her. Instead, he ran up to Xyla.His silence further solidified Mary's confidence that there was indeed nothing down there.Mary raced past Darren and stood before Xyla with her arms crossed over her chest."Looks like there is nothing. Xyla, be a good girl now, get down on your knees an

Frederick Shaw genuinely believed that Xyla Quest was extremely lucky.Such luck was truly enviable.Meanwhile, Cain Hollander could see Mary Sullivan’s facial expression changing. He gingerly massaged her shoulders.Annoyed, Cain’s touch didn’t make her feel relaxed. On the contrary, the action irritated her further.She impatiently pushed Cain’s hand away. “Will you cease for a moment? Stop that, it’s annoying.”Cain immediately stopped touching her.Xyla couldn’t bear to watch this anymore. Although not a stranger to disrespectful people, she’d never seen anyone behave this bad before.“What? Is there actually an underground palace down there?” Frederick had a bewildered look in his eyes when he faced Darren Green.Darren nodded repeatedly. “Yes, and from the looks of it, this underground palace is probably an underground tomb that belonged to a powerful person in ancient times. There are countless treasures within.”Xyla still seemed calm and collected.Since she had alre

Regardless of what happened, Mary Sullivan was bound to be humiliated today.She genuinely regretted her behavior earlier.She also hated God. Why did God always leave the best things for Xyla?Who was she anyway?After taking a deep breath, Mary looked down with conflicted feelings. Her face was completely red.Right then, she could neither leave nor stay.Everyone’s gaze seemed to burn into her skin.“What’s the matter? Can’t stand to lose, Mary Sullivan?” Xyla Quest slowly flicked her long beige nails against one another while asking softly.Although her voice was soft, she still had a commanding presence.Despite not showing any facial expression, she could easily overpower Mary.Mary was speechless.Meanwhile, the bodyguards around Xyla couldn’t bear watching this any longer.They started criticizing Mary on her behalf.“She really can’t stand to lose.”“Exactly. She said she’d get on her knees and call Ms. Quest Mommy. What’s the matter? Feeling regretful?”“You ca
Revenge of the Hideous Lady Chapter 1803
Xyla Quest hated how Mary Sullivan looked down on others just because she was slightly wealthier.She couldn’t interfere if Mary had mistreated her own subordinates, but Mary was in no position to berate hers.Xyla’s bodyguards felt so moved by how she stood up for them, instantly liking her even more.Everyone vowed to remain loyal to Xyla for life.Mary felt so furious that she had trouble breathing. Her hand raised, poised to return the slap.Before it could land, Xyla swiftly grabbed her by the wrist and glared coldly at her face. “Mary, stop dawdling and admit defeat.”“That’s right... you’re not all that great if you dilly-dally.”“I’m sure you wouldn’t want other people to find out that you’re someone who lacks credibility, would you?”“Hurry up… can you not admit defeat?”Xyla’s bodyguards started speaking up again on her behalf.Feeling bitter from the bottom of her heart, Mary attempted to bend her knees a little.However, she simply couldn’t do it.Kneeling in fr

Apart from feeling rage, there was nothing Mary Sullivan could do.Bottling up her emotions inside was killing her.Growing up, Mary had rarely been insulted by other people.All her humiliating moments were related to Xyla Quest, and so she felt that she was her greatest enemy.“Xyla, don’t go too far,” Mary yelled through gritted teeth.Xyla frowned slightly. She continued to flick her long, beige nails against one another before looking at Mary’s face. “I don’t like what you said. You were the one who came up with the bet and lost. How could I have gone too far?“Weren’t you the one who suggested this? What’s the matter? Do you think it’s too much now?” Xyla’s voice became increasingly cold.Xyla genuinely despised Mary, so she wasn’t holding back at all.“That’s right... you suggested this yourself. Now, you’re blaming Xyla for it. Are people from the Sullivan family all this shameless?”“You’re not wrong. Isn’t everyone from the Sullivan family like this? None of them a

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.
