Revenge of the Hideous Lady Chapter 263
Xyla was dumbstruck and instantly asked, “Who are you guys?” The men in black clothing remained silent, simply politely nodding at her in unison before walking over to Josh. “Come with us.” Compared to Xyla, Josh was much calmer and seemed composed. “Can’t you see that I’m on a date?” he asked. However, without waiting for him to speak, the man in black leading the group beckoned the others. In a flash, Josh was forcefully picked up by a few men. “Pardon me,” said the leader of the group. Xyla immediately frowned hard. She got up and asked, “Who are you guys? Do you have any idea what you’re doing right now?” “It’s okay, I know these people. They’re from my family,” Josh comforted her. Xyla’s heart gradually relaxed at this. “Come with us,” the leader of the group repeated. After that, they took Josh away by force. He struggled and resisted, but it was futile. Finally, he could only let them take him away.He turned to Xyla and smiled. “Wait for me, I’ll be back soon

Both appearances could destroy cities, but they were of different types. One was so handsome that he had a strong, pressuring aura, while the other was so handsome that he seemed completely harmless. One was apathetic and aloof, the other was warm and pure. “Why are you here? You got them to bring me over urgently, what for?” Josh was a tad annoyed. How could Stanley do this? The man forcefully interrupted Josh’s date, ignored everything else, and simply got someone to drag him out of the restaurant. “Why did you ignore Zack’s calls?” Stanley took a long draw of his cigarette before slowly breathing it out. Under the haze of smoke, unreadable emotions surged behind his dark eyes. “I didn’t turn on my phone during work. I saw the missed calls after work, but because I had more important business to attend to, I forgot to call him back,” Josh answered honestly. “Your so-called important business was a date with Xyla Quest?” Stanley asked. “...Why do you seem to know my exact

“We’ve met, but she still doesn’t know who I am. It’s difficult to explain certain things to you right now. Just remember that she belongs to me. As for everything else, don’t say too much, and don’t ask too much, got it? Just like how I don’t get involved with your work in the entertainment industry, and haven’t exposed your identity, I hope you can treat me in the same way,” Stanley said each word sternly.Although Josh did not understand what exactly Stanley was trying to say, he nodded and did not ask any further.“I’ve got it,” said Josh, nodding again.“Alright, go and make things clear,” said Stanley as he took out his lighter and played with it. A small flame flickered between his fingers.“I understand, and I won’t keep thinking about my sister-in-law anymore.”“Yeah. I hope you can keep your promise,” replied Stanley.Getting out of the car, Josh took a deep breath before turning around and heading back into the restaurant, waving his hand as he walked. He had no idea h

After dinner, Josh drove Xyla home. Throughout the journey, he remained silent with a deep frown on his face. Since it was very dark in the car, Xyla did not notice any changes in his facial expression. When they arrived at the entrance to the Quest family’s villa, the car came to a stable halt. During the meal, Xyla had drunk a bit of red wine. Although she did not think it was a lot at the time, she was beginning to feel the effects kicking in now. Josh drove her all the way to the front of her house. Once the car stopped in front of the main building, Xyla turned around to look at him. “Thank you for sending me home. Get back safely. Goodnight.” Closing the car door behind her, she started to walk towards her house. “Hold on…” said Josh, getting out of the car. The cold northern wind made both Xyla and Josh shiver a little. “Whenever and wherever you need help, you can come to me. Even if we can’t be lovers, I hope we can still be good friends,” said Josh sincerely with a

At such a close distance, Xyla’s heart was nearly beating out of control. “Untangle it, quickly,” she said. “Okay… I’ll untangle it,” replied Stanley.The closer they were, the better his voice sounded. It sounded like an expensive cello which played a beautiful melody. There was a noble quality to his deep-sounding voice. Listening to it, Xyla felt like she was becoming even more intoxicated. “Is it untangled yet?” she asked. “Hold on…”Stanley lowered his head while he carefully tried to untangle Xyla’s hair from his button. However, there seemed to be an unresolvable knot which could not be untangled swiftly. While their bodies were tightly pressed against each other, Xyla dared not move about, for fear that she might hurt herself from tugging her hair too hard. In between breaths, her hair softly rubbed against his face. It caused an itchy sensation. For some reason, Xyla felt something pressing against her from behind. Her body trembled and she subconsciously took a st

“I have a pair of scissors in my room. If this doesn’t work, let’s use it,” said Xyla.She could not stand being stuck so closely to Stanley. If this continued, she was afraid that her heart might stop beating.“Alright. Come with me, slowly,” said Stanley while he led her into the room.Xyla pointed at the nightstand. “The scissors are in the drawer of my nightstand.”Without saying a word, Stanley slowly led her to the bed and the two of them sat down together. Carefully, he reached out to the drawer to get the scissors. As soon as he moved, Xyla yelped in pain.“Wait a second. It hurts…” she said.Still staying silent, Stanley pressed her head naturally against his chest while he reached for the scissors. In this affectionate pose, a multitude of feelings were growing at a rapid rate. Xyla began to feel an itch in her heart. There was also a numbing sensation.Soon, Stanley was able to grab the scissors. He carefully cut off that strand of hair before putting the scissors dow

Stanley did not say anything. After chuckling softly, he walked away. Once the door closed behind him, Xyla’s world became calm again. However, her heart was still pounding. The image earlier kept appearing in her mind.Her face was getting redder by the second. Now, Xyla felt as if she would rather just die.***Meanwhile, at the Batton family’s villa, Josh saw Sharon on the couch when he returned home. He immediately walked over and sat down next to her.“Mom, why are you here?”“Did you see your brother?”“Yeah…”“Did he tell you everything he ought to?”Josh let out a long sigh and rubbed his forehead in exhaustion.“He did. Don’t worry. I won’t set my eyes on my sister-in-law in the future.”Ever since he was a young boy, he found it difficult to fall in love with anyone. When he eventually did, the person turned out to be his sister-in-law. What kind of drama was this?Josh felt as if something was stuck in his chest and made it difficult for him to breathe. He kept Shar

Tom’s vulgarity thoroughly annoyed Xyla. With a slight frown, she took a step forward and stared at his face coldly.“Tom Sullivan, watch what you say,” she said.Xyla knew that Tom probably came to her in a huff because he wanted to get back at her for what she did to Mary.“What’s the matter? Didn’t you once beg me to f*ck you?” Tom asked sarcastically with a sly smile on his face.His words were like a needle to her heart. Xyla felt as if a hole had been pricked through somewhere in her body. Memories began to flood through her mind. Like a compressed balloon, all it took was a hole for these memories to blast through.Back when Xyla was ugly and fat, she once asked to be f*cked in order to keep him around. However, Tom had righteously told her that he wished to wait until the night of their wedding. Moreover, he claimed that he would never engage in sex before marriage.Like a fool, Xyla believed him. In fact, she was very touched that her Brother Sullivan was not like other

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.

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

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.
