Revenge of the Hideous Lady Chapter 274
When Xyla saw what happened to Tom, who was all over her just a moment ago, her anger immediately faded away.This was an extremely bloody scene, which she wished to never see again. Subconsciously, she buried her face in Stanley’s chest and shook her head to let him know she was not hurt.Stanley rubbed her chin against her head and asked in a soft voice, “What do you want me to do to him?”Xyla tried to open her mouth. When she realized she could finally speak, she sighed in relief. “That’s enough. Send him to the hospital,” she said.Regardless of what Tom did, they could not kill him. Otherwise, it would be a difficult situation to resolve. After responding to Stanley, Xyla hugged him tightly once more. Since she was still in shock, keeping Stanley close to her was the only way she could recover quickly.“That’s not enough. Beat him up,” said Stanley, looking at the men dressed in black by the door. His facial expression had turned cold once more.“Are you crazy?! Do you know

Xyla sounded firm. Since Stanley refused to listen to her when she was not being assertive, she would have to take a more assertive stance.When the men dressed in black heard her, they were all shocked. Each one of them felt nervous on her behalf. Xyla actually dared to speak to Stanley like that. Did she have a death wish?“Alright, alright. I’ll listen to you,” said Stanley, shaking his head helplessly. There was a gentle look in his eyes.Covering Xyla up with his coat, he buttoned it up for her from behind, then shifted it until the buttons were in front. “You can put your hands through the sleeves now. It’ll feel more comfortable that way.”The men dressed in black were stunned. They looked at one another in confusion. Was this the real Stanley? They felt utterly confused by what was happening. Nobody had ever spoken to him like this. When did he ever treat a woman in such a way?“Why aren’t you getting your men to stop then?” asked Xyla.Stanley pinched his forehead before

Through the smoke in the air, Stanley slowly turned around and examined Xyla’s face with a deep look in his eyes.“You don’t have to return anything to me for now,” he said calmly after exhaling a puff of smoke.“Let me thank you by buying you a meal tonight,” said Xyla.“Sure.”“I’ll decide on the place and send you the location on WeChat,” said Xyla with a forced smile.“Okay,” he replied with a gentle look on his face.“Is there any particular restaurant you’d like to go to?”“Anything is fine. Wherever you like.”The driver who overheard the conversation was shocked. He could not resist peeking at Stanley through the rearview mirror. Stanley’s gentle demeanor was giving him a heart attack. Was Stanley capable of saying things this nicely? Why had he never known about it?The driver had never heard Stanley saying the words ‘anything is fine’ in front of him or anyone else. This girl was amazing.“I noticed you were acting strangely when I walked through the door earlier. Y

The ignited lighter twirled in his slender fingers where every spark just barely flickered across his skin. This gesture was utterly alluring. “After our men released Tom Sullivan, he grabbed his arm and drove to the hospital.” Zack added, “I heard that Young Madam wishes not to make this incident huge, correct?” “Actually, I think Young Madam is right. If this issue escalates and gets out, it wouldn’t be good for the Young Madam. People would often add in bits of details once they start spreading until, alas, they turn into a completely different thing. “Worst case scenario, it becomes a version where he has successfully slept with our Young Madam.” Zack’s tone was respectful and serious. “I know,” said Stanley. “Fifth Master, our people have warned him saying that we have evidence of his crime in our hands. He wouldn’t dare to put the word out and escalate things either simply.” “I suspect that he won’t even tell his family. After all, Tony Sullivan is annoyed by him. I

This meal smelled excellent and looked great. Just a glance was enough to make her mouth water. “I want to eat too, but I have to play the game right now. I’ll eat it later.” Xyla looked at her computer screen. Since the game had started, food would have to wait. Although it was just entertainment, she loved to give it her all in every game. Stanley sat down quietly beside her and put the notebook on his lap. “I’ll help you with this game. You eat first.” When he saw Xyla’s ID on top of the character, he was stunned. Surprise flashed in his eyes. Who knew that she was the number one player in the server, Seven, who could easily overpower him in the game. The person that Henry had tried to sign with a large amount of money. No wonder she was dismissive of Henry’s offer of thirty million dollars a year to become a professional gamer. Thirty million dollars indeed wasn’t an amount attractive enough for her. “Do you play League of Legends regularly as well?” Xyla asked.

Xyla was eating as she watched, feeling very satisfied with his performance. Who would have thought that he was this good? Only, compared to her, he was still a little lacking. However, in this national server, he was considered top-class. The way he worked the keyboard was skilled and elegant. His slender fingers danced swiftly over the keys, flowing smoothly like he was playing the piano. She regularly watched League competitions. Men who gamed usually had nice hands. All the professional gamers she had met had exceptionally nice looking hands. However, his hands were even more attractive than theirs. These perfect hands practically completed the fantasy of someone with a hand complex. How he worked the keyboard was cooler than the other professional gamers as well. The way he played the game was more composed and calm than they were. As she looked at him, the term ‘elegant killer’ flashed in her mind. He was using the most elegant posture to do such bloody things.

“I gave my account to a friend.” He stared intensely at Xyla before he smiled meaningfully. “... Oh, alright then.” Xyla didn’t press him. She continued eating as she watched him play. It took him fourteen minutes to finish this game. By the time she was done eating, his game had ended. It could be said that it was his abilities alone that helped the team win so quickly. Even if she had spotted many flaws in his controls, this was good enough. “Not bad…” Xyla praised. “Will you keep playing?” Stanley asked. “Nope. I’m getting ready to go to work,” Xyla answered. “Then, go on, I’m going out for work as well,” replied Stanley. “Remember to eat lunch,” Xyla reminded. “Yeah,” he grunted a response before leaving without looking back. Xyla called to make a reservation at the restaurant for tonight before sending him the restaurant’s address. After that, she changed her clothes and left the house. *** At the same time, at the municipal hospital. After Tom had

Even if these women made him want to hurl, he no longer cared. *** When Xyla was done with work at Quest Group, it was already six in the evening. As night fell, the dazzling city lights intertwined with the sparkling stars in the sky. The whole world was covered in a sea of brilliance. Putting down the last document in her hand, she raised her head to see the beautiful view. Her neck ached a lot. She gently massaged it with a massage tool before touching up her natural makeup and got up to tidy her outfit in front of the full-length mirror. Her reflection was wearing a white chiffon shirt with a large bow tied around her neck. She wore a houndstooth high-waisted skirt that rested two centimeters above her knee. Her graceful figure was displayed perfectly. The pair of long legs below her skirt was exceptionally fair and slender as if they had highlights of their own. After simply tidying up her largely curled black hair, she grabbed her bag and drove to the western re

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.
