Revenge of the Hideous Lady Chapter 205
After that, he went ahead upstairs and called the police to inform them not to come over, saying that it was all just a misunderstanding. “Go and eat. I’ll come to find you later.” Xyla smiled at the man beside her. Her tone was tender as usual. “Okay.” Stanley lifted his hand to gently caress her head. This action made her heart skip a beat. However, as many pairs of eyes were watching, she could not say anything but simply turn to go upstairs. She followed Jeremy into the study. Upon entrance, Jeremy closed the door with a stern expression before walking over to the expensive rosewood desk and sitting down. Xyla stood across him. “Xyla… When did you install the surveillance camera at home?” Jeremy asked directly. “And when did you find out that Emily was never pregnant? You seem prepared like you have known this all along.” Xyla gently swept her ponytail back before answering truthfully, “I’ve actually known a long time ago. I just didn’t want to expose her, so I en

Xyla said nothing but hugged Jeremy in silence. “I just feel apologetic toward you.” Xyla’s eyes gradually turned red. “Don’t say such things anymore.” Jeremy gently let go of her. “Say, since she was faking her pregnancy, why wasn’t she exposed when she entered the detention center?” Jeremy could not figure this out. The doctors outside could be bribed, but after entering the detention center, how could she bribe the doctor in such a short amount of time? “Maybe she bribed the person who took her blood sample.” She had thought of this question before. Because once Emily was taken into the police car, she no longer had the chance to contact the outside world. Hence, the possibility of someone helping her from the outside was zero. The only possibility left was that she had promised the person responsible for her health checkup, and that person caved after hearing Emily’s tempting offer. After Emily was released, Xyla had secretly hacked into Emily’s phone and realized tha

Xyla scoffed. “That’s right. Are you unsatisfied? If you are, hold it in.” The anger in Emily’s heart rose once again. To her, this response sounded like a challenge. “You’ve calculated everything and was just waiting for me to make a fool of myself. So even if my actions today were flawless, I would still be caught, and this show was destined to fail.” Emily was trembling in a fury. At first, she thought that her plan was perhaps flawed. However, after seeing that surveillance video from Xyla, she understood immediately. Xyla had come prepared. She had known it all along. “That’s right,” Xyla replied calmly, the smile on her face gradually deepening. It was both enchanting and aloof. “Xyla Quest, someday, I’ll kill you with my own hands.” Emily raised her hand and attempted to slap Xyla’s face. However, before her hand could reach, like a spark of swift lightning, Xyla had caught Emily’s wrist. “You’re welcomed to try.” The next second, Xyla threw a swift and heavy sla

“I found nothing yet,” answered a female voice from the other end. “Continue investigating! I’ve said that I will reward you with 1.5 million dollars, now I’m offering you two million!” After that, she hung up. Then, she called Tom’s number again, but this time, the operator informed her that the number was invalid. She knew that Tom had blocked her number. She wanted to immediately return to the Sullivan manor, but knowing that the Sullivan family was currently livid, going back now would do her no good. Moreover, without knowing how things would develop and if she needed to return to prison, the best option was to run away. She would leave the rest to her mother and try to solve her own problems for now. At this thought, she began speedily packing her luggage, without any attention to pay to her dress that was now covered in blood. Even when packing her luggage, the image of how she got played by Xyla today kept resurfacing in her mind. With these thoughts, she couldn

“You’re really smart.” Without needing her to say more, he already understood her thoughts. Her intelligence was far greater than her looks. Knowing that he understood, she smiled. “You’re smart too. Many things can be easily exposed. Being able to become the right-hand man of a mafia boss at such a young age is not easy as well.” This man was superior in both looks and intelligence. He was destined to shine in every aspect of his life. She figured, if he would tread on the right path and become a lawful businessman, he would definitely conquer the markets with much ease. The young people nowadays who were advertised as elite entrepreneurs would not even be able to compare to him. “What are you thinking about?” he asked. “Just wondering that if you were to do business, what would things look like?” Xyla said. “You’re starting to imagine again what I would be like if I were a businessman, aren’t you?” He took a long draw of smoke before slowly breathing it out. The way

After Emily was taken away, May’s emotions exploded. The guests at the door started discussing among themselves. None of them had anything good to say and were all criticizing Emily. May clenched her fists tight without saying anything, glaring viciously at Xyla’s car. Xyla completely ignored May as she turned the car around and drove away. “The Sullivan family must be throwing a fit by now,” Stanley said faintly before leisurely lighting up another cigarette, taking a long draw and then puffing it out. He leaned back lazily into the backrest. “They should.” Xyla chuckled. As she spoke, the car reached the gates. She stepped on the accelerator all the way. The car propelled forward like an arrow. *** At the Sullivan manor. The atmosphere inside the house was reaching a freezing point. Inside the living room, Tom, Julian, Tony, Mary, and Bailey sat still and upright. Their expressions were extremely ugly. “What did you say? Was that lass feigning pregnancy to c

“Tom Sullivan, no! I refused to divorce you!!! I don’t want to divorce you!!!” she yelled hysterically at the phone. Immediately after, she mellowed down and started sobbing, begging meekly, “I was wrong, can you forgive me? Brother Sullivan, forgive me… I won’t do it again. I guarantee that from this day onward, I won’t cause trouble anymore or lie to you. Can you forgive me?” There was no response from the other end. Following suit was the bitter sound of the call being hung up. Although it was tiny, she heard it loud and clear. In an instant, it was like she had been pushed into a pit of despair. What should she do? She did not want to lose Tom. She loved Tom. She loved his graceful bearing, his refined personality, and even more so, his family background. How could she easily let go of this excellent man she had snatched with much difficulty? All these years, she had given so much affection and her youth to Tom Sullivan. How could things just end this way? If thin

As the situation was becoming unfavorable, May immediately fell over, holding a hand to her heart as she gasped loudly, wearing a torturous expression. When he heard the sound, Jeremy looked back at once. Upon seeing this, he hurried back to her and held her up carefully. Jeremy asked in concern, “Are you okay?” May held her heart and shook her head. “No… I’m not. My wound is hurting again. I must have been too agitated.” Jeremy’s heart softened. “Let me take you back into the room to rest.” May shook her head and said through tears, “I don’t want to rest. I think I should just die. With Emily in such a situation, what’s the point of me living? “Honey, I’ve finally realized a lot of things now from my stance. On the one hand, I truly despise her. How can she be so disappointing? She had clearly promised me that she wouldn’t harm Xyla, so why did she do such terrible things? I think she should just accept whatever punishment she receives from the law. “But on the other han

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.

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

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.
