Revenge of the Hideous Lady Chapter 222
Xyla’s head started to hurt after reading too much of these comments. A stranger’s ill will would always come so suddenly. Many people liked to listen to gossip. Even if they didn’t know the truth, they would follow the crowd and defame the target. Being in the entertainment industry, she had seen too much of her own celebrities and their rivals being slandered by brainless netizens who listened to malicious rumormongers. This was no longer anything serious for her. In fact, it barely stirred her emotionally. Other than feeling speechless, she found it amusing. She only had a little over a million followers on her Weibo. In the past, whenever she posted something, the comments would never exceed ten thousand. Now, the first three posts on her timeline had exceeded a hundred thousand comments each. Based on this engagement level, she assumed that she must have made it into the search rankings. She held her forehead helplessly and opened up Weibo’s hottest search ranking.

He glanced at the jacket before looking up at her. “Whose jacket is this?” “Josh Batton’s,” she replied softly before turning into the kitchen. She had no intention of explaining too much to this fake husband of hers. The moment she left, the jacket fell to the ground. Stanley got up and simply kicked the jacket aside before entering the kitchen. By then, Xyla’s hands were behind her back, battling with the strings of her white apron. The strings had been tied loosely earlier, so she planned to untie it and redo the knot but it had accidentally become a dead knot. Seeing this, he instantly went up behind her, tipped his head down, and took the strings from her. He started carefully undoing the knot. They were standing really close. The smell of tobacco mixed with peppermint perfume invaded her nostrils. His breaths faintly grazed the back of her neck and earlobes, causing mild electric shocks. As if her chest had been electrocuted, her heart started beating wildly.

Josh shared one of the comments on her earlier post. “Was there really no seduction just because you said so? You vixen, I won’t believe you!” and added a caption, “There really was no seduction. It’s an angle problem. Stop slandering her.” Josh’s response surprised her. She had never thought he would appear just after she had made a post. Out of habit, she clicked on the comments of his post and to her surprise, Josh was replying to his fans’ comments. Josh’s Girlfriend wrote. “Josh, if you’ve been threatened by Xyla Quest, blink.” Josh replied. “Don’t start a conspiracy theory.” With just one sentence, he summoned a wave to completely overturn the events. In an instant, the comments at the bottom were all. “I’m sorry Xyla Quest, please forgive me.” Xyla smiled. She simply called Josh and soon, the call got through. She went ahead and said, “Thank.” On the other side, Josh was sitting on a sofa beside the french windows with his phone in one hand while the other tappin

“Just let me know if you need anything done. Good night.” After saying that, Josh did not hang up immediately but simply kept quiet. Xyla simply ended the call before returning to the sofa. She removed her white fur coat and casually placed it aside before laying down, gently pinching her nose bridge. Since Mary Sullivan had done such an evil thing, Xyla would definitely not let her off so easily. *** On the other hand, at Unconscious Bar. Completely oblivious to what was happening on Weibo, Mary and her three other friends who went to the show today were dancing at the dance floor of their private room while drinking classy imported beer. The vast space was dark with rays of neon lights dancing around them. Upbeat music rattled their eardrums. She wore a cheeky grin and because she was in high spirits, her movements were strikingly enchanting. “So Mary, were you the one behind all of it? Aren’t you quite cool?” “Yeah, yeah… someone’s being trashed because of it h

The others nodded. “Mary, what if things get worse, and they found out it was you?” “Yeah, yeah, I’m so worried.” At this, Mary instantly scoffed in contempt. “Don’t worry, they won’t find me. My Weibo account wasn’t verified, and I’ve got someone to delete the surveillance footage at the scene. “Moreover, so what if they found out? Do you think Xyla Quest can do anything to me? Something so minor like this will be a cinch for my parents to take care of. Are you guys underestimating the Sullivan family?” Mary said with confidence. She firmly believed that she would be fine no matter what happened. With her parents’ support, something like this was not worth worrying about. “Stop spouting all that nonsense and let’s get high! I have to visit Emily at the detention center tomorrow and tell her this good news, hahaha!” Mary laughed openly. “Emily Quest has tricked your brother into a marriage by faking a pregnancy, and your brother is planning to divorce her. Do you still pl

Xyla hastily used the cutlery to take up a strand of noodles and put it in her mouth. The sweet and spicy taste spread across her taste buds. It was both stimulating and delicious. She gave him a thumbs-up as she ate. “The noodles are cooked just right. It’s the texture I like.” “That’s good then,” he said faintly, sitting down beside her to browse through Weibo’s search ranking. “Are you really not going to eat?” Xyla asked. “Yeah,” he simply answered. He frowned a little the moment he saw the number one search on the list. At that moment, the top of the list was dominated by #Josh Batton helping Xyla Quest deny rumors#. He glanced faintly at her before tapping into the search result before finally realizing what had happened. After a good look at Josh’s clarification statement and screenshots of his reply to fans, Stanley turned to Xyla who was focused on eating her noodles. “Why didn’t you tell me you were being slandered?” Xyla smiled. “Because I can take care of it

The other people quickly got close to Mary Sullivan and huddled over her as they looked expectantly at her phone.Mary directly opened Weibo and began counting down confidently.“Three… Two… One…” She counted.Everyone else held their breath in anticipation.Very soon, Mary arrived on the page. The first topic on the list was ‘#Josh Batton denies rumor about Xyla Quest#’.Closely after that, she pressed on the topic eagerly to witness Xyla being attacked verbally.However…When Mary saw the comments in the post, she was dumbfounded.Not only were the verbal attacks missing, but many fans of Josh Batton were also apologizing to Xyla one after another.At that moment, Mary felt as if she had been slapped a few consecutive times.It felt thoroughly embarrassing.Meanwhile, the three people next to Mary, who were also waiting for an exciting show, sighed disappointedly.“What’s going on, Mary? You seemed confident and sounded as if it would really happen. It turns out that isn’t the case a

“Don’t you know that Josh Batton worked with the Quest family in the past? Don’t you know how powerful the Quest family is? Do you really think Josh could have refused to help Xyla Quest if she asked him to? Aren’t you all too foolish? I’m telling you, if you don’t teach Xyla a lesson this time, she won’t give up. She’s still going to approach our Josh. What if she drugs him and sleeps with him?” Mary Sullivan wrote.After that, Mary snorted coldly and focused her attention on the screen.“Sisters, look, these brainless people will soon be triggered by what I wrote…” Mary said.Very soon, many began to spam the group.“Do you mean to say our beloved idol was forced to deny the rumors? Oh my god, it was exactly what I thought. However, I heard that Xyla Quest is already married. Wouldn’t her husband keep an eye on her?” You and Me Under the Tree wrote.“Married? From what I know, Xyla is in an open relationship with her husband. Why would he care? She has slept with many young, handsome

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

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.
