Revenge of the Hideous Lady Chapter 379
“Ahh… You’re from the Sullivan family… No wonder you’re so uneducated.” Rebecca Robin insulted her mercilessly. Mary Sullivan was getting more and more embarrassed. “That girl’s from the Sullivan family? She must be Tom Sullivan’s sister, right? Tsk tsk tsk… Like brother, like sister.”“The Sullivans have a really terrible family culture. I think Tom Sullivan and her will destroy and ruin their whole family sooner or later.”“Well, I got it instantly when she said she’s the Sullivans. It’s not surprising, though… If someone like Tom Sullivan can exist, what’s so shocking about Mary Sullivan?”The noblewomen were gabbling and jabbering among each other, catering to Rebecca. They were constantly humiliating and verbally abusing Mary. The curves at the edges of Xyla Quest’s lips were getting gradually more obvious. She felt incessantly pleased. The words and comments that flowed through her ears were extremely soothing to her.On the other hand, Mary could feel that her self-est

As Xyla Quest was sitting with the vice president’s wife, she was the most prominent person in the room. The crowd’s attention would always fall on them from time to time.Since the auction had not started yet, those who were the upper echelons of the society tend to come over to greet Rebecca Robin by turns. In addition to responding to their greetings politely, Rebecca would also introduce Xyla to them. Some of these people were even the prestigious blue bloods among the rich and bigwigs.All of them were courteous to Xyla because of Rebecca’s presence as well as her own beauty. There were even some dignitaries who took the initiative to ask for Xyla’s WeChat.As a result, Xyla Quest could be said to be the illustrious and most celebrated in the crowd at the moment. There was not a single lady in the room who did not envy her, including Mary Sullivan. Mary was going to fly off the handle when she looked at how complacent Xyla was. Why was Xyla so lucky? She was lucky

Xyla Quest wanted to win the silver censer and give it to a person.“This item is known as the Silver Censer with Openwork Design of Grapes and Flying Birds from the Tang Dynasty… The entire body of the censer is made of pure silver, complying with the most popular openwork spherical design of that era.”“I wonder if any of you know the history of the silver censer? Please raise your hand if you know it. The one who answers correctly will get a delicate gift from us today!”As soon as she finished her sentence, a few hands rose into the air. Rebecca Robin followed suit and raised her hand too, so did Xyla. Mary Sullivan could not help but rolled her eyes as she noticed Xyla raised her hand in the middle of the air. She was certain that Xyla did not know anything about the silver censer. As for the questions she had just asked her about Tang Bohu, she must have randomly read it from somewhere.How could someone who was not interested in antiques at all be so knowledgeable abou
Revenge of the Hideous Lady Chapter 382
Xyla Quest’s speech won a round of applause from the crowd.Everyone was looking at her with admiration and approval in their eyes. Especially Rebecca Robin, who was literally on the verge of becoming Xyla’s fan. She could not take her eyes off Xyla. She had never imagined that Xyla would be so knowledgeable about this field at such a young age. Not only did she clearly explain the origin of the silver censer, she even managed to recall the sad, beautiful love story behind it.Xyla calmly sat down in the midst of the applause. Her eyes landed on Mary Sullivan as nothing had happened.Mary was about to explode with anger at this moment so she totally did not notice Xyla was looking at her. She was just staring at the silver censer on the auction stage with a gloomy dark face.Her intention of passing the question to Xyla was to make a fool out of her. Little did she know, not only did she fail to embarrass Xyla in front of everyone but she had also thrusted her into the limeligh

The starting price was eight million.Mary Sullivan immediately raised her bid card. “Eight million five hundred thousand…”After Rebecca Robin saw Mary raising her bid card, she looked at her coldly and raised her bid card. “Ten million…”The others proceeded to offer a price, the bidding price went up to twenty million.Mary raised her bid card again. “Twenty five million…”She must win this vase.Rebecca still increased the bid price. “Thirty million…”When Mary thought of her father’s exhortation, she refused to be outbid. “Thirty five million.”Rebecca snorted coldly. “Forty million…”After Xyla Quest heard those digits, she looked at Mary’s face.Forty million, the amount was already way past the original price of the vase.The vase was only worth thirty million at the most.For Mary to continue to bid a higher price was not odd to Xyla…After all, she would not even know the price of an antique.Xyla also knew that Rebecca would bid against Mary continuously. All b

Xyla Quest replied while smiling, “Of course…”Paying for more than fifty million for this item, it would be weird if Tony Sullivan was not mad.The next item was what Sharon Lindt wanted — A Jade Hairpin.After the auctioneer had given a brief introduction about the item, the crowd started bidding.The starting price was one million and it had increased to twenty million.Xyla waited for the bidding price to stop increasing so much and raised her bid card. “Twenty one million…”At this point, almost everyone had given up on bidding. In the end, Xyla succeeded in winning the bid and getting the hairpin. She felt satisfied.The next item that Sharon wanted was a 1950s Supreme Sapphire Necklace from F Country.When the necklace was put on the stage, the ladies were startled.Even though the necklace was old, it was still shining brilliantly.The chain of the necklace was made of individual round sapphires, at the bottom of the necklace was a big teardrop shaped sapphire that wa

Xyla Quest was even more stupefied.To use three hundred million to buy a set of jewelry does not seem possible for a person like Sebastian Brenand.As she was looking at their backs, Xyla was extremely confused, her mind full of questions. What is going on exactly? Or does Sebastian’s identity is not as she thought?Maybe, he’s a son of a rich and powerful person?If that was the case, why does he act like Five Batton is superior to him?Five is just a gangster.What capabilities did he have, to make a rich and powerful person’s son bow to him?Or maybe, Five’s real identity is superior to Sebastian’s.Or Five actually was not a gangster, but rather some super powerful person?Xyla thought that it was impossible, since why would Stanley Batton cooperate with her if he was someone this powerful? He would not have the time.But if Five Batton is not some powerful person, what exactly is this situation?At this moment, she could not think of an explanation…After Sebastian go

”There is only one powerful family in Atlantis that has the surname Brenand right?” The lady said while smiling.Xyla Quest could not believe what she heard.Powerful family in Atlantis with the surname Brenand?Other than the Brenand family that she knew of, there wasn’t a second. That family was a very famous family of nobles after all…In the so-called society there is a hierarchy. At the top is power and influence, and the second is being just rich.The Brenand family is definitely at the top.There’s not much information about the members in their family on Baidu.Xyla never expected Sebastian Brenand to have such a noble background.But why would he be with Five Batton if he had such a background? Logically speaking, the fifth master is way out of Sebastian’s league.Why would Sebastian bother mixing with peasants?Many thoughts ran through Xyla’s mind, as she stood there stunned.One of the ladies lightly shook Xyla back to reality, she laughed. “What happened?

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.
