Revenge of the Hideous Lady Chapter 1840
A white ball of light had appeared in the sky in front of Xyla Quest, resembling a halo.A faint white figure could be seen in the halo.Xyla rubbed her eyes before looking at the same spot, but the vision had disappeared.She was sure she had seen something earlier.What could it have been?Was it a god? Or was it the nine-tailed fox demon?Could it have been something else?Xyla had many questions in her mind.Now, she had many questions regarding her overall state.However, she couldn’t get any answers to her questions.Xyla figured that the time wasn’t right yet.When the time was right, all the answers would present themselves.She knew that a god was secretly helping her, so she didn’t feel so panicked anymore.With a dutiful and powerful girl like Sophie Kenwick by her side, she felt secure.If danger fell upon her or her husband, Stanley Batton, they would at least not be completely helpless.“What are you looking at, Master?” Sophie asked with a curious look in

Xyla Quest showed Sophie Kenwick around for several hours that by the time they finished, it was already five o’clock in the evening.On a winter day, that was when the sky was already beginning to turn dark.The house had its lights turned on, making the interior glamorous and as bright as day. After showing Sophie around, Xyla escorted her back into her red Maserati.As Xyla turned on the engine, she turned to look at her companion. “Are you tired? You can rest in my office once we get there.”Sophie felt warm in her heart. “I’m not tired. No matter what we do, I won’t feel tired as long as I do it with you.”Xyla smiled before ruffling Sophie’s hair affectionately. “I’m going to sort out some documents at my office. We’ll come back after I’m done,” she informed her.Sophie nodded in compliance.She was practically a fan of Xyla’s now. She would do anything Xyla told her to.If her Master told her to head east, she would not head west.If she told her to head south, she wo

“Hehe, I just wanted to tell you that I’ve found a sense of belonging because of you.” Sophie Kenwick had a solemn expression on her face.“Good girl, if there’s anything I haven’t done well enough, you can point it out at any time,” Xyla Quest replied.“No, there’s nothing you haven’t done well enough. You’re the best,” Sophie declared.Xyla was in a fantastic mood because of her compliments, feeling that she was practically her source of happiness.And that feeling was mutual as Sophie was fond of Xyla as much as the other way round.Xyla found herself smiling a lot more frequently with the younger girl around.Sophie kept telling amusing anecdotes from her time, making Xyla very happy as she couldn't stop laughing the entire journey.With Xyla’s red Maserati speeding ahead, dozens of luxury cars followed closely, not daring to lag behind. The entourage of luxury cars led by her Maserati was an eye-catching sight on the flat tar road, attracting the attention of the many peo

Sophie Kenwick quickly looked up and walked over to the door to open it.Sebastian Brenand stood outside with an exhausted look on his face.Ever since he went into a serious relationship with Rachel Wood, he seemed much more collected and organized.He was wearing a black suit. He had a serious, yet noble air about him, coming across as a successful person.Sebastian was surprised when he saw Sophie. “Who are you?”“Uhm… I’m my master’s bodyguard,” she replied.Sebastian seemed even more confused when he heard the word ‘master’. “Master?”Why would somebody use such a strange word?“Yeah,” Sophie uttered, wondering what the man was thinking right then.“All right, is your Master in the office?” Sebastian asked.Although Sophie was an attractive woman, he no longer felt interested the way he would in the past.He didn’t have the desire to flirt with Sophie at all.Rachel was his only love in the world.No matter how pretty other women looked, he couldn’t be bothered to let

Xyla Quest eyed Sebastian Brenand in curiosity. “Okay, sure. What is it?”He pointed at Sophie Kenwick, who was entertaining herself with an iPad. “Can I have her?”Xyla instantly frowned when she heard this. “Old habits die hard, huh? It hasn’t even been that long, has it?”She genuinely thought that Sebastian had changed his ways, no longer his same old self.As a woman, she thought that Rachel Wood deserved better.Sebastian immediately sobered up when he heard this. “Of course not. I meant to ask if you could let me sign that girl as an artiste at my company. I think she has a lot of potential.”A beautiful lady like Sophie Kenwick would certainly receive a lot of attention in the entertainment industry.He could already see her bright future ahead.Xyla heaved a sigh of relief at his words. “All right, I thought you’ve had a change of heart.”“How’s that possible? I love Rachel with all my heart. That will never change, not until death do us part,” Sebastian declared, loo

After Sebastian Brenand left, Xyla Quest shifted her gaze to the documents on her desk that were left unsorted.It was already getting late. She didn’t want to stay in the office and make her husband, Stanley Batton, worry so she decided to resume her work the next day.As she powered down the laptop, she turned to look at Sophie Kenwick who was still entertaining herself on the iPad. “Sophie, are you hungry?”Sophie instantly snapped her head up upon hearing the question, hearing her stomach rumbling at the very moment she gazed back at Xyla. Feeling embarrassed, she scratched her head and said sheepishly, "Yeah, I am hungry.” “In that case, let’s go home and eat. I’m sorry for losing track of time and forgetting about dinner,” Xyla said.Sophie immediately shook her head. “It’s fine, Master.”She then quickly stepped forward and picked up Xyla’s purse and phone, completely giving up on her pride as a former princess and embodying her role as Xyla’s bodyguard.Once everyth

A strange sense of familiarity and sadness caused Stanley Batton’s eyes to well with tears.All these weird feelings in his heart were unusual for him.Why did this girl in front of him feel so familiar?In fact, he even felt emotionally hurt on her behalf.He had a nagging feeling that there was an unusual connection between him and this girl in the past.Stanley took a deep breath and addressed Sophie Kenwick. “We… Have we met?”She shook her head while she took in his odd reaction. “No. What’s the matter?” She seemed confused.Stanley frowned and continued to study her face. “Nothing…”Sophie nodded slightly, not fully believing what he said.His reaction made Xyla curious as well.She instantly held his hand gently. “What is it?”Stanley shook his head. “We’ll talk later.”Xyla nodded before pulling Sophie over. “I haven’t officially introduced you two. This is Sophie Kenwick.”The girl extended her hand excitedly to Stanley. “It's nice to meet you, I’m Sophie,” she sa

Stanley Batton felt increasingly confused from the depths of his heart.He immediately looked up toward Sophie Kenwick while she cheerfully skipped away.She seemed so familiar from behind, as well.As he gazed at her, an unfamiliar scene appeared before his eyes.He was in a traditional-looking room, where a girl wearing a red silk robe was playing a string instrument with her back to him.The tune she played was the tune Sophie was humming along just then.The unfamiliar scene disappeared as suddenly as it appeared, not giving him enough time to verify that the girl was Sophie.What was going on?Was he hallucinating, or was this part of his forgotten memories?Was that girl in the vision Sophie?If she was, what was the nature of their relationship?When Xyla Quest saw her husband's distraction, she immediately grasped his hand. “Darling, what’s wrong with you? What happened?” she asked softly.Why did he act so strangely after the young girl showed up?She had never se

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.
