Revenge of the Hideous Lady Chapter 2457
“Hmph! Can't do much in school, but I’m warning you. You’d better be careful these days!” the girl warned with her arms crossed as she stalked up to Hannah Roland.She poked Hannah’s chest with her index finger before strutting away.Hannah teared up a little as she watched her leave.The girl was right. She didn’t deserve Leon Batton.School ended after the physical education class.On the way home, Lynette Batton wouldn’t stop asking her brother questions.“Are you planning to pursue that girl, Leon? You can’t hold back anymore, can you? You acted so indifferently previously, but it seems like you’re only human after all,” she said as she grabbed his arm and teased him relentlessly.“Why do you love gossip so much?” he sighed.“It’s not that I love to gossip in particular. It depends on the topic of said gossip!” Lynette clarified with a chuckle.She paused momentarily before continuing to speak.“Leon Batton, the cold prince of the school, has developed feelings for a girl

Leon Batton didn’t reply and continued eating silently. His cheeks were slightly red.Xyla Quest couldn’t help but chuckle when she saw that.“Girls should also learn to protect themselves. Don't let anyone touch you inappropriately until you meet someone you'd marry,” she advised, addressing Lynette Batton this time.Her daughter merely nodded.***Meanwhile, Hannah Roland went to work at the mart right after school ended. However, she seemed distracted as she replenished stock on the racks.“What’s taking so long to place those items?” her manager questioned behind her.She shook herself from her reverie at the sound of his voice and hastily straightened up to apologize. “I’m sorry, I was a little preoccupied earlier. It won’t happen again.”“It's fine, forget it. Just hurry up and finish placing those items.”Fortunately, her boss was a forgiving person. He waved his hand and let her off the hook.“Thank you, Boss,” Hannah said gratefully.Her boss seemed to be in a bette

Leon Batton was speechless.Lynette Batton stopped asking since her brother didn’t bother replying to her, resuming to eat her delicious breakfast.***Leon drove his sister to school in his sports car.The siblings headed straight to class after the car was parked, with Leon walking faster than usual.He broke into a grin upon seeing the toast at a corner of his table.“Tsk, tsk, tsk. Just as I thought,” Lynette couldn’t resist saying when she saw his eyes glowing.“Ahem,” he coughed softly, hastily straightening his face.After that, he sat down and picked up the toast. It would be his first taste after receiving so many slices before. He tore a piece off and put it into his mouth.It was an ordinary toast, but he tasted some sweetness after chewing a few times.After school, they hurried home to practice the song they dedicated to their grandfather upon realizing that his birthday was fast approaching.They put in a lot of effort since it was a song for their beloved gran

“Woah! He’s practically the god of seduction. He looks so cool even without speaking!”“I heard he’s the son of our customer. I couldn’t tell, though. They look like siblings to me. They must have struck the genetic lottery for him to look that handsome.”“Sigh. I have to find a handsome man in the future to improve my family’s genetics.”***Xyla Quest and Lynette Batton finished trying on clothes. Apart from gowns for the birthday party, they also selected over ten other dresses.Lynette held out her new dresses with a satisfied smile on her face. “Thank you so much for buying me so many gorgeous dresses. I love you, Mommy!” she exclaimed happily.“Silly girl. Of course, I'd buy you dresses.”She beamed sweetly before approaching Leon Batton with her dresses.“Look at these dresses that I chose, Leon. Do you think they look beautiful?” she asked him eagerly.To Leon, they all looked almost identical apart from their varied patterns and colors. He didn't see the need to buy s

Leon Batton nodded before heading into the fitting room to change into the midnight blue tuxedo. Xyla Quest and Lynette Batton were sitting on the couch when he walked out. They seemed pleasantly surprised by his look and smiled in satisfaction.“Woah! You look like a completely different person!” Lynette gasped out as her eyes widened.“Looks like I’ve got good taste,” Xyla declared proudly.“Yes, Mommy. You do have good taste in clothes. I would have to learn from you,” Lynette complimented her mother.Xyla studied her son, thinking that he looked even more distinguished after changing into formal attire. He exuded a more grounded vibe, giving him an impressive presence compared to his usual school uniform.With money, clothes could change a person's entire appearance and impression.“Don’t bother trying the other outfits. We’ll go with this one,” Xyla said to the sales assistant with a thoughtful expression.***The day of Wilson Batton’s birthday party arrived in the blin

The small garden had been carefully designed to be surrounded by man-made hills with flowers, lush greenery, a pavilion, and a small river. It was visually stunning.“This scenery is so beautiful. Unfortunately, now isn’t the time to admire all this,” Lynette Batton said with a sigh.“Maybe not right now, but once we’ve performed for Grandpa and Grandma, we can come back here to enjoy the scenery,” Leon Batton answered.“Okay.”Then, she pulled her brother into the pavilion and began to rehearse her part while he observed her with an affectionate smile on his face.Meanwhile, Xyla Quest and Stanley Batton entered the ballroom hand-in-hand.By then, most of the guests had already arrived.Beautifully-clad women in traditional dresses were up on stage, playing stringed instruments that sounded heavenly.Several invited guests found themselves in small groups of three to five people, sitting together to drink tea or play chess.Numerous others sat quietly off-stage as they list

“That’s because today is his birthday! Let’s all give Mr. Batton the loudest applause and wish him a happy birthday, all right?”Everyone started clapping as soon as the emcee finished talking, and the applause didn’t stop.Wilson Batton led Sharon Lindt, Xyla Quest, and Stanley Batton to the main table in front of the stage while everyone watched them take a seat.Wilson remained standing and raised his cup of tea slowly as a gesture of appreciation to his attendees. “Thank you all for making time to attend my birthday party. I’m truly honored by your presence.“I’d like to express my heartfelt gratitude for your warm wishes with this cup of tea in place of alcohol.” With that, he raised his cup and emptied its content while everyone else did the same with their goblets of wine.“We have alcohol, food, and performances tonight. I hope everyone will have a good time and enjoy the evening,” Wilson added before taking a seat.The emcee picked up the microphone and smiled. “Some peo

“Good evening, everyone. I'm Lynette, and this is my brother, Leon. We are Mr. Batton’s grandchildren.” Lynette Batton announced into the microphone as she introduced herself and Leon Batton to the guests.“We have prepared a little performance for our grandfather, so please enjoy it,” she added as she took her place next to the microphone while Leon sat in front of the piano.All eyes were on them at that moment as the two of them became the center of attention.Then, he placed his hands over the piano and began to play, his fingers dancing gracefully on the black and white keys. His perfect face from the side looked like a portrait.The guests were mesmerized by the music.Then, Lynette waited for her cue before she began to sing the song she had prepared in advance, The Brightest Star.She had the voice of a nightingale. Nobody spoke during their performance, and they all quietly listened to her beautiful singing.Everyone seemed to indulge in the song, its touching melody dr

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.
