Revenge of the Hideous Lady Chapter 238
As Mary Sullivan spoke, the fingerprints on her face became even more apparent. Her face soon became swollen.However, Xyla Quest could not be bothered to fight with her. Xyla pulled Georgie Clementine’s hand and began walking into the restaurant. Her high heels announced her departure with clear tapping sounds on the ground.Meanwhile, Mary decided to run after them.When Georgie saw Mary’s reflection in the glass wall, she immediately turned around and glared at Mary with her fist raised.Mary came to a halt instantly and did not run after them. Instead, she stomped her feet on the ground angrily.“Xyla Quest, you are done for! I am extremely happy about it,” Mary shouted.However, Xyla ignored her completely.“Beep, beep, beep—” Right then, Mary’s phone rang.When Mary saw that it was a familiar series of numbers, she quickly got into her car and picked up the call suspiciously.“Hello,” she said.“I’ve done everything you asked me to,” a man’s cold voice could be heard from the oth

“You have a very nice name. Glad to meet you,” Georgie Clementine said.“Glad to meet you too,” Morty Wayne said.“How old are you?” Georgie asked.“Nineteen. I’m currently studying classical music at Atlantis College of Music. I’m in my third year,” Morty answered truthfully.“Add me on WeChat. If you are willing to, you can talk to me on WeChat. Perhaps, you might be curious about certain things at our company. You can ask me about them on WeChat too. The phone number on that name card is my WeChat number,” Georgie said.“Okay,” Morty said as he nodded obediently.“I’ll add you in a short while,” he said and smiled pleasantly. His dimples appeared once more.“Okay, get back to work then,” Georgie said and chuckled.“Alright, I’ll get going now, Chief Clementine.” Morty nodded respectfully at Georgie once more.After finishing his sentence, Morty smiled before he turned around and left.Apart from Josh Batton’s smile, this was the most beautiful smile Georgie had seen.Morty

The negative comments about Xyla Quest became even more offensive over the next ten hours.Although Xyla was not sure how many of them were bribed to write such things, and how many of them were merely bystanders, she was certain it was impossible that all of them were bribed.Some of them must have been influenced by others to jump on the bandwagon. Perhaps, these people had always been critical of others and merely took this opportunity to vent their hatred. They could also be Josh Batton’s fans.With different types of people involved and various cruel comments mixed, Xyla felt disgusted by what she read.There would always be a group of people in the world who derived pleasure from verbally hurting other people through hateful comments on the internet.To these people, their keyboards were like their weapon of choice. They liked to vent their suppressed negative emotions through a set of self-defined logic in the real world.After briefly looking through the comments, Xyla exited f

Xyla picked up the call immediately.“Did you see the most popular topics on the internet?” A familiar voice was immediately heard before Xyla Quest could even speak.The voice belonged to Mary Sullivan.From her voice, Xyla could sense that Mary was extremely pleased and sardonic at the same time. Xyla instantly felt annoyed.“What do you want?” Xyla asked.“I don’t want anything. I only called to ask you how you feel. It must feel terrible to be yelled at by people, right? Hahaha…” Mary said before bursting into laughter.“Congratulations, you must be happy to have acquired the titles of b*tch, an evil woman, Snow White’s stepmother, the old witch, and various other names,” Mary added softly but obnoxiously.“Has anybody ever told you not to count your chickens before they hatch?” Xyla asked coldly.“Hahaha, I don’t think it’s too soon at all… You really should blame yourself. Why do you go around seducing handsome, young men? You even thought of getting your way with Josh Batton. Ts

The hate speech against Xyla Quest on the internet intensified.The comment section on Xyla’s Weibo page was too horrible to look at.People in various groups were adding insult to injury as they made fun of her.***After approximately ten minutes, the leader of ‘Josh Batton’s Wives’ group, Coffee Bean personally published a Weibo post to apologize to Xyla and Josh for believing in false rumors and leading the cyberbullying against Xyla. In fact, the leader had even personally tagged Xyla and Josh in the post.Below the Weibo post, the false accusations made by ‘Little Cutie’ in the group were pinned at the top.Xyla directly forwarded the Weibo post and shared a screenshot of Little Cutie’s IP address, which indicated she was in the Sullivan family’s villa, to the public.“@MarySullivan, is @LittleCutie your account? Is it fun creating false rumors and pretending to be innocent and kind? It’s a shame you didn’t become a scriptwriter based on your ability to create an entire story out

Someone wrote, ‘Oh, my goodness. What an evil woman! Mary Sullivan personally set up this entire scheme and even acted all innocent on Weibo. She pretended to be kind. Augh…’‘I really would like to ask, when will Mary Sullivan die? Xyla Quest, I am so sorry. It was my mistake for believing all of this. I must have been blind,’ added someone else.After reading these comments, Xyla immediately let out a long sigh of relief. A satisfactory smile appeared on her face. Closely thereafter, she visited Mary’s main account on the ‘Mary Sullivan’ page.As soon as Xyla opened Mary’s first Weibo post, she could see that the comments section was filled with various hateful comments.Someone wrote, ‘I knew you weren’t kind! Bullsh*t! Do you enjoy cyberbullying others that much? Today, I’ll let you have a taste of your own medicine. Go to hell, will you?’‘Mary Sullivan, you don’t deserve to be a human. You don’t have a heart. Tsk, tsk. People like you should get run over by a car when you leave t

What was Josh Batton thinking? As a popular celebrity, he was not supposed to say things like that.Xyla Quest immediately picked up the phone and called Josh. As soon as he answered, she asked, “Mister, can you please think carefully before you speak?”“I did think about it carefully. What’s the matter? Do you think I said something wrong?” said Josh with a chuckle.Josh was sitting in the makeup area of a studio while he waited for a magazine shoot. Apart from his stylist and the stylist’s assistant, there were many other female staff who worked for the magazine company around him.He was wearing a white shirt on the inside and a houndstooth coat on the outside. The ladies were all taking photos of him with their phones. Each of them gasped at how handsome he looked while they did so.Although these young women were ogling him, Josh never once looked at them. Instead, he smiled at his own reflection in the mirror, with his phone in his hand, waiting for Xyla to say something.“

Xyla Quest had always thought of Josh Batton as a business partner. To her, he was merely an artiste who could rake in a lot of money for her company.However, now that he was confessing his feelings for her, how should she reject him? How could she politely reject him without hurting his feelings?Xyla felt a headache coming on. The more she thought about it, the worse the headache became. Therefore, she opened Weibo once again.The first thing that came into sight was the note that she had over 9,999 notifications. Subconsciously, she clicked on the notifications panel. There were countless private messages, tags, and comments.Instead of taking a closer look at the comments, she directly opened her private messages. They were all from people who either had Josh’s name or his picture on their profiles.‘Sister Xyla Quest, I’m so sorry that I jumped on the bandwagon and insulted you. I’m truly sorry. Mary Sullivan went too far. I will scold her for you,’ someone said.‘Sob, sob. My fa

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.
